Chapter 271 - Lone Nine Sword
Feng Qingyang being able to possess such a powerful strength was already extremely shocking and unexpected for Feng Qingyang. He thought that this was Ling Xiao's limit, but he didn't think that he would still have other abilities that he hadn't used yet.
"Come come come come. Just make your move. Let me see how much ability the last successor of my sword faction has." Feng Qingyang said with anticipation.
Although Ling Xiao wanted to obtain Feng Qingyang's acknowledgement very much, and then, ask for the Nine Solitary Sword, Ling Xiao was also unwilling to reveal all of his trump cards just like that. Furthermore, from the looks of it, Feng Qingyang already admired his strength a lot.
Powerful internal energy began to churn within his dantian, roaring like a raging river. It gradually condensed into a group, transforming into a very pure and terrifying energy.
Ling Xiao did not use any other technique, but increased the condensing of his internal energy, thereby increasing his own strength.
Because Ling Xiao did not intentionally hide his presence, Feng Qingyang, who was facing him, felt it very clearly. While constantly sighing at Ling Xiao's strength, he also started to focus his mind, preparing to defend himself.
Although he had used the power of a Grandmaster, he had also concentrated all of his power into his fist so as to not create too much of a commotion and attract other unnecessary trouble.
Seeing the movement that Ling Xiao had released, Feng Qingyang was surprised, thinking that not only was his strength terrifying, his control over the details was also so meticulous, he was truly a genius who wouldn't give in.
Ling Xiao's punch was at most at the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm. For Feng Qingyang, who was already at the middle stage of the Grandmaster Realm, it was not really a big problem. However, Ling Xiao's internal energy was extremely strong, so it was not easy for him to defend against it.
"Bang!" 'Bang! 'a muffled sound was heard from the point of collision.
This was a clash of absolute strength. The vigorous energy constantly reverberated within the muscles and bones of the two people, making terrifying creaking sounds. The two of them were secretly digesting this powerful strength that was at a loss of what to do.
After a long while, the two separated. Feng Qingyang's face was slightly red, proving that his next punch was not simple.
Ling Xiao was also slightly out of breath, condensing so much of his own internal energy wasn't an easy task either.
One of them attacked while the other defended. They were evenly matched.
"No wonder you're so arrogant, so you have some tricks up your sleeves." Feng Qingyang said after calming down.
Compared to his initial anger, Feng Qingyang's current mood and tone were much more gentle.
Ling Xiao cupped his fist and said: "It should be because senior showed mercy, or else I definitely wouldn't have left so easily."
Hearing this, Feng Qingyang couldn't help but laugh, "You're actually quite a strange person. Previously, you were constantly finding trouble with me, acting incomparably arrogant.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao said sternly: "I do not care about the person, what senior did was wrong. He only cared about his own safety, and did not care about the big picture, which caused this result, could it be that senior thinks that my face is more important?"
"Maybe you're right, but it's been so long, and there's no point in saying that sort of thing." Feng Qingyang sighed and said.
"Then does Senior still have any lingering feelings for the Mount Hua Sword Sect?" Ling Xiao asked.
Hearing this, Feng Qingyang turned around and looked at the forest far away, his face had a look of melancholy and reminiscence, as if he was filled with sorrow.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao did not go forward to disturb him, he needed Feng Qingyang to speak of his true thoughts.
"It must be a lie to say that I don't hold back. Back then, I painstakingly created this Mount Hua Sword Sect to support it. I just did not expect that it was because of me that it fell into despair." Feng Qingyang looked at Ling Xiao again, and sighed.
"Everything can be rebuilt, as long as you have this confidence." Ling Xiao said.
Hearing that, Feng Qingyang walked in front of Ling Xiao with expectation: "In the end, I am still a person of the past. What happened back then, now I do not have the face to return and guide the Mount Hua Sword Sect, you are a rare genius, to have such strength at such a young age, your future will definitely be limitless. With a person like you, the sword sect's glory is just around the corner!"
Ling Xiao cupped his fists and said: "I never thought senior would trust me so much. I am touched, but senior also brought the Nine Swords with him after he left, I think that without the Nine Swords, the Mount Hua Sword Sect would not be complete."
Hearing that, Feng Qingyang frowned, "Although what you said is correct and makes sense, the Lone Nine Swords is not that easy to learn. In the entire Mount Hua Sword Sect, I have personally guided them before, but not a single person managed to succeed, which proves how difficult this technique is. You are already very strong, I do not wish you to be stopped in your growth path by this technique."
"Senior also said that I am a rare genius, why don't you believe that I can learn it?" Ling Xiao said with a smile.
It was rare for Ling Xiao to meet someone who could not pinpoint his location and tracks, so he would not waste this great opportunity.
Seeing Ling Xiao being so persistent, Feng Qingyang could not reject anymore. After all, Ling Xiao was the last disciple in the sword sect.
"Alright, it's not that I don't want you to learn it, but I accidentally lost the technique manual for the Lone Nine Swords." Feng Qingyang said somewhat embarrassedly.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed happily: "That's great, senior can personally display the moves of the Nine Solitary Sword Technique, and it will be more convenient for me to learn."
Feng Qingyang said in surprise, "Are you sure you want to do this? The reason why the Lone Nine Sword Technique is so powerful is because of its complexity. For novices, it is extremely difficult to understand it, not to mention looking at the successive moves from the very beginning.
Ling Xiao smiled and shook his head: "Senior's worries are not without reason, but to me, I have never seen anything that I cannot learn. Senior can rest assured, I will definitely not let you waste your time."
Looking at such a confident Ling Xiao, although Feng Qingyang was extremely suspicious, he was more curious to know how many geniuses Ling Xiao was to actually dare to spout such big words.
"Good!" Since you have such confidence, I believe that you can take it lying down once more. Then I will stay in the Huashan Mountain for a few days and show you my skills, and hope to see the results that will surprise me. " Feng Qingyang nodded and said.
"Thank you, senior!" Hearing that, Ling Xiao cupped his fists and said.
"It's already late, you can go back first. I haven't had a good look at this Huashan Mountain, I'll wait here tomorrow. You can find time to come over." Feng Qingyang said.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "Understood, Senior must have some old matters to attend to in the Huashan Mountain, this junior will not disturb you."
