Chapter 302 - In-depth deduction
This was, after all, something that Feng Qingyang had the ability to dominate the entire Jianghu with. Naturally, there was something sharp and overbearing about it, but unfortunately, after learning it, Ling Xiao did not even have a chance to properly release all of it, to see just how many points he had grasped.
Therefore, Ling Xiao had finally found someone he could display with ease, so he naturally could not miss this good opportunity.
However, when Ling Xiao was completely released, he knew that he had to restrain himself a little, or else he would not be able to suppress his cultivation and his secret would be exposed.
If Yue Buqun who was secretly observing them realized that his strength was already past the peak of the first-rate expert, he would definitely not dare to appear again.
After a sword hum, Ling Xiao extended the sword intent that he had been hiding for a long time, and then slightly restrained it. After stabilizing his Qi, he started to attack.
Facing the Feng Buping and Cheng You who had already lost all sense of reason, Ling Xiao knew that he could not fight against them properly, especially at the very beginning.
Because the two of them did not have consciousness to control their attack power, every attack would be the strongest attack they could release. Then, from the very beginning, Ling Xiao had to hide his own strength, and receive their attacks without getting hurt. This was a rather skillful method of defense.
Although it was troublesome, it wasn't that difficult.
"Ding!" The two swords rang out simultaneously, even resonating with each other. This was because after the two swords clashed, they did not show any intention of retreating. Hence, the strong force continued to collide with each other, as if trying to obtain the strongest sword.
Ling Xiao knew that this was a desperate method of fighting until one side could no longer hold on or until the sword body was broken.
Those two were already lunatics, so they naturally wouldn't care about these things. Therefore, they had no intention of stopping.
When strength collided with strength, the longer the collision lasted, the resulting damage would increase as well. Furthermore, it became harder to separate from it.
Ling Xiao did not have the thought of going head on with the two madmen, especially when he was trying to hide his strength, so he did not hesitate to release a burst of Qi, forcefully pushing the two of them away, so that he could smoothly retreat.
The spectators were naturally unclear about what the person in front of them felt. From their perspectives, Ling Xiao had chosen to retreat after facing off against the two for the first time ever.
Ling Xiao was not concerned about their thoughts at all. He only wanted to know what Yue Buqun, who was hiding and observing from the shadows, felt like. He just wanted Yue Buqun to feel like he was having a difficult time resisting it.
After jumping away, Feng Buping and Cheng You immediately rushed over and started their fierce attack again.
This time, his aura was the same as before, causing people to be afraid.
However, Ling Xiao was still able to easily break through the nine swords. Of course, on the surface, he still pretended to be no match for them and escaped.
But Ling Xiao was very clear, every time they clashed, the power of Feng Buping's and Cheng You You's attacks would become weaker, which meant that the two of them were using up most of their energy and Qi.
As for the surrounding trees and buildings, most of them had also been destroyed. The fight between the top masters was indeed terrifying. The strong sword intent and Qi fluctuations were definitely not something an ordinary person could withstand.
After all, to the ordinary disciples of Huashan Mountain, how would they have the ability to compare themselves to a wall with just the ground?
As the number of collisions increased, Ling Xiao could also feel the Qi of the two becoming weaker.
"It's about time for some blood to come out." After Ling Xiao pulled his body apart once again, he secretly lowered his own Qi, because Ling Xiao had to ensure that he was in the same position as Feng Buping and Cheng Xie.
Otherwise, how could he play a show where everyone was on equal footing and barely won?
Furthermore, during every single collision, Ling Xiao would always let those small stones scratch his clothes. If it was before, Ling Xiao would never let a single bit of rocks or fallen leaves touch his clothes.
When he sensed that the Qi of the two were about to fall down to that of a First Rated Warrior, Ling Xiao knew that it was about time for blood to come out.
In the previous clash, Ling Xiao had only used his inner strength to push the two of them aside, to ensure that they would not run away.
But now, because of the huge consumption of energy, the two of them fell back by an entire realm, which was enough to prove just how much energy they used up. If this continued, even if Ling Xiao didn't take action, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
If the two of them were to fall on the ground just like that, Ling Xiao would never want to see them play. How could they collide for a long time without seeing blood?
"Puchi!" In the normal course of attack, Ling Xiao, with an extremely fast speed, pierced Cheng You's arm, and caused a stream of dark red fresh blood to instantly explode. Because Ling Xiao's control of his strength was perfect, he directly cut open his muscles, and pierced through his blood vessels.
Seeing that blood was gushing out and instantly dyed the blood red on Cheng You's shoulder, the surrounding Huashan Mountain disciples finally exploded into cheers that resounded through the sky.
Of course they had seen Ling Xiao's powerful fighting strength, but he was still in the midst of battle. No one knew what the final result would be, and with their strength, they could not figure it out.
Only blood could allow them to use the simplest and most crude of methods to determine which side had the advantage.
Just that, the two of them who had lost their minds, seemed to not care about the blood, and continued to brandish their swords at Ling Xiao.
Maybe it was because Ling Xiao was also continuously suppressing his strength, causing the two people to fearlessly charge forward, wanting to kill Ling Xiao.
"Come, come. I'll let you all have a taste of the Nine Solitary Sword." Ling Xiao was getting more excited.
Ling Xiao knew a lot of technique, but he definitely did not want to limit himself to only using every single technique. Ling Xiao wanted to combine everything into zero, and take advantage of the weak points, to make sure that there were no flaws, which was what Ling Xiao was most satisfied with.
Thus, after learning every single one, Ling Xiao would think of a way to grasp its essence, and cultivate it to the state of being as pure as fire. Only then, would Ling Xiao have more confidence in completing his own thoughts.
Regardless of what it was, if one practiced it to its peak and completely grasped it, one would be able to become one's own flesh and blood and become a part of the body.
