Chapter 184 - Hard-shelled bough
"How annoying!" Ling Xiao listened to the cries from the surroundings and could not help but frown.
"I know you are very fast. Don't you think it would be boring if you continued hiding like this?" Ye Lvhongji knew that he could not keep up with his speed, and could only use this method to prove that Ling Xiao was fighting against him. Otherwise, his brute force would really be useless.
"Fine, seeing that you're being so sincere, I'll agree. I originally wanted to have a good time with you. Since you want to end it quickly, I'll grant your wish." After he finished speaking, Ling Xiao lowered his body and casually picked up a bough from the ground. It seemed to be a bough that had been dried up for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Ye Lvhongji couldn't help but frown and shout in disbelief: "No way, Sect Master Ling, you're humiliating me!"
"No, I do not mean to humiliate you. This is the weapon that I have chosen, do not underestimate this bough, if you can cut it down, it will be considered your win." Ling Xiao casually waved twice, as if he felt it with his hands. He did not break the sound of the wind, nor did he see the sharp edges, making him look like a child's plaything.
"I won't be polite anymore. I will use my full strength in the following battle. The heavens decide whether I live or die." Ye Lvhongji said angrily.
'Sure, it's great that you can do this. Of course, life and death will depend on the heavens. Ling Xiao bared his teeth and laughed.
"Haa!" Ye Lvhongji bellowed, he raised his large blade and fiercely slashed at Ling Xiao, after the first test, Ye Lvhongji knew that Ling Xiao's speed was extremely fast, so this time he did not hesitate, and he did not fear, and used all of his strength.
Since the other party had already done this, there was no need for him to worry.
Ling Xiao was not moved by the fierce attack, but the next scene left everyone dumbstruck.
It was still a loud bang. This time, it was not the greatsword colliding with the ground, but with the withered bough!
When the sharp blade and the dried up bough collided, it was actually peaceful!
No, this situation did not last long, following a cracking sound, the dead bough still had a hole open. Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but raise his eyebrows, and then waved his hand forcefully, knocking back Ye Lvhongji's big chopper, and also took a few steps back to stabilize himself.
Soon after, Ling Xiao looked at the cracked in his hands and could not help but shake his head, as if he was extremely dissatisfied.
"You, how did you do that?" However, Ye Lvhongji was not happy that there was a crack in the dried bough. This should not have happened in the first place, how could he, a dead bough, block her sharp machete?
It had to be known that this big chopper was the weapon that Ye Lvhongji was the most confident in. Every day, he would grind it multiple times with a grindstone, to the point that he would ensure that this blade would always have the sharpest blade. However, this kind of sharp chopper that could even break stones, could not even see through a withered bough.
If it were to come into direct contact with the human body, its impact force would be comparable to a stone directly smashing onto the body, and there would even be a cutting and stabbing sensation like the edge of a blade. Of course, this depends on the strength of one's true qi.
After pausing for a moment, Ling Xiao continued to explain: "So I am thinking, if I were to channel Zhen Qi into the dried bough, maybe it would be able to turn it into a sharp sword with a transparent blade. It is a pity that the dried bough itself is too weak, it cannot be used as a container to contain the True Qi."
Faced with such a detailed explanation from Ling Xiao, everyone around was stunned. Everyone was stunned listening to it, including Ye Lvhongji.
He attacked so seriously, and the other party was actually using him as an experiment?
Once again shaking his head, Ling Xiao casually threw the broken Withering bough on the ground. Then, he noticed Ye Lvhongji's expression and said with embarrassment: "My apologies, we aren't finished yet, let's continue."
"I have also fought with many Central Plains people s, but none of them were able to use their Innate Qi in such a terrifying way. If Sect Master Ling is right, then it means that I have met a few Central Plains people s who are too useless. That being the case, I would like to try and see just how powerful their Innate Qi is." With that said, Ye Lvhongji kept the big chopper and gave it to the subordinates behind him.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and said in an unexpected manner: "What, you plan to fight with this reputed one physically?"
"Yes, since Sect Master Ling doesn't use weapons, then I won't either. Let's fight face to face, let me experience just what kind of qualifications you have to actually dare to ignore my anger time and time again." With Ye Lvhongji's muscular body and entire body covered in tendons and flesh, coupled with that angry expression on his face, it was indeed a little scary.
It was no wonder that all of his subordinates were willing to follow him obediently. It had to be said that in terms of brute force, Ye Lvhongji was indeed a very strong person.
"That's fine too. I don't care because no matter what I do, the final result will not change. The one who wins will definitely not be you." Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
This time, Ye Lvhongji was no longer angry. Perhaps, it was because he had already experienced Ling Xiao's terrifying strength, so he wouldn't be angry.
The reason why he gave up on the big chopper and chose to fight Ling Xiao head on was because he was very curious. He wanted to know how terrifying the true qi in Ling Xiao's body was, to actually be able to let a withered bough fight against his big chopper.
"This time, I won't be polite. Are you ready?" Ling Xiao rotated his wrist, as if trying to warm up.
"Bring it on, Sect Master Ling." Ye Lvhongji's expression was extremely serious, he knew that this would definitely not be an easy fight, he might not even be able to hold on for a few rounds.
"Don't worry. Seeing that you are so interested, I will not use my full strength. I will play with you." Ling Xiao laughed, but in the next second, he disappeared from his original spot.
This startled Ye Lvhongji so much that his pupils enlarged, because Ling Xiao had already arrived in front of him and a fist was swiftly enlarged in his field of vision.
Subconsciously, he raised his fist to meet it, but Ye Lvhongji knew clearly that Ling Xiao had already gone easy on him, otherwise, with his unfathomable speed, he would have been struck by that fist long ago. How could he even have the chance to react?
