Chapter 473 - 473 472 In All Martial Arts Only Speed is Unbeatable

473: Chapter 472: In All Martial Arts, Only Speed is Unbeatable 473: Chapter 472: In All Martial Arts, Only Speed is Unbeatable Lin Xuan deployed the Wind Realm around himself, and then added the Thunder Realm on top of it.

Although the two Realms had not yet completely unified, the power was much stronger than that of the Wind Realm alone.

“Realm stacking, this kid is really bold!” Xiao Yaosheng exclaimed in astonishment.

One must realize that Realms are mysterious and profound things that most people can’t comprehend, let alone stack them.

Therefore, when everyone saw Lin Xuan stack the Wind and Thunder Realms together, they were extremely shocked.

Even the Four Heavenly Pride showed a look of solemnity.

The appearance of the Wind and Thunder Realm once again slowed down the speed of the Fast Sword.

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Xuan began to counterattack.

However, Quickness Intent Realm could be applied not only to swordsmanship but also to movement techniques.

Therefore, Xie Yijian’s movement technique was equally terrifying.

Just as Lin Xuan had swung his longsword out, Xie Yijian had already moved to another spot.

“In all martial arts, only speed is invincible.

Therefore, you can’t possibly beat me!” Xie Yijian was very confident.

As long as he attacked a few more times, he could break through Lin Xuan’s Wind and Thunder Realm, and then victory would be his!

“Quickness Intent Realm, such a terrifying realm!

This speed has indeed placed Xie Yijian on Innate Invincible Land!” someone remarked.

“It seems that this time Lin Xuan is really going to lose.”

“No way, in all martial arts, only speed is invincible.

Not just Lin Xuan, even a martial artist within the top twenty might not be able to break through Xie Yijian’s Quickness Intent Realm.”

“Unless, like the Four Great Supreme Talents, one overwhelmingly crushes with absolute power.”

“Am I going to lose?” Lin Xuan frowned.

To be honest, Xie Yijian’s speed had indeed caused him a lot of trouble.

His Wind and Thunder Realm was not yet mature enough — if it reached 60% to 70% of its potential, beating Xie Yijian would be easy.

But for now, it seemed he couldn’t rely on the Wind and Thunder Power and needed to find another way.

“Let’s end this!”

Opposite him, Xie Yijian’s aura intensified greatly, suggesting he was about to use some kind of absolute skill.

“It seems I can only use that move,” Lin Xuan said as he gripped the Star Extreme Sword tightly.

Faced with Xie Yijian’s Quickness Intent Realm, Lin Xuan decided to play his hand again.

“Outer Heaven Flying Star!”

“It’s useless, whatever you use can’t keep up with my speed!” Xie Yijian was very confident.

However, the next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Because he saw Lin Xuan merging with his sword, turning into a dazzling Sword Qi, rushing toward him like a brilliant meteor.

That speed was even faster than his Quickness Intent Realm.

“This is impossible!” Xie Yijian was shocked in his heart; he used the Quickness Intent Realm to flash to the side.

On the arena, two rays of light shimmered, then vanished like shooting stars.

The crowd’s eyes widened, necks stretched, as they looked toward the arena.

On the arena, Lin Xuan was holding his sword with both hands, his face somewhat pale, with bright red blood dripping down the sword edge.

“Could it be that Xie Yijian is injured?” The crowd looked over to the other side.

Indeed, there was a Sword Mark on Xie Yijian’s left arm, nearly severing his limb.

“What kind of swordsmanship is this that could actually wound Xie Yijian with his Quickness Intent Realm!”

“Lin Xuan is too terrifying.

Unless it’s absolutely necessary, one must never challenge him!”

Covering the wound on his left arm, Xie Yijian’s heart was tumultuous.

Since he had comprehended the Quickness Intent Realm, he had been undefeated.

This time he challenged Lin Xuan, also wanting to outshine the other and seize the title of the First Swordsman of the younger generation.

Yet, he had never expected Lin Xuan to have such an ultimate move, one that could even surpass his speed.

“Who on earth is this guy?

His swordsmanship is so formidable!” Xie Yijian’s gaze flickered uncertainly.

Lin Xuan had once again proved his strength with his formidable swordsmanship.

This time, even Zhou Jianying, one of the Four Heavenly Pride, cast a couple more glances at Lin Xuan.

“His swordsmanship is decent, but his cultivation is too weak.

He might enter the top ten in the next tournament.”

The crowd was shocked, they couldn’t believe that one of the Heavenly Pride had given such high praise.

Afterward, everyone had a rough understanding of Lin Xuan’s strength.

It seemed that in this tournament, Lin Xuan’s strength was at most between the tenth and twentieth ranks.

This was already terrifyingly strong, considering that it was Lin Xuan’s first participation and he was only eighteen years old.

Such talent could be said to be second only to the Four Heavenly Pride.

“Enter the top ten in the next tournament…” Lin Xuan gave a faint smile.

If it were his current strength, then indeed, he could only enter the top ten in the next tournament.

However, he still had the powerful support of seventy percent of his Sword Intent, and his strength was improving every moment.

To be honest, as he absorbed more and more energy from the Black Dragon Flame, he didn’t even know how formidable he would ultimately become.

But one thing he could be sure of was that at the very least, he had to enter the ranks of the Five Great Heroes.

The next few matches were somewhat tedious, with challengers not taking risks but rather choosing opponents they were confident against.

During the ongoing competition, atop the Ancient City, the five Venerables once again received news about Lin Xuan’s identity.

A Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artist reported respectfully, “Honorable Venerable, we have found out Lin Xuan’s place of origin.”

“Oh?

Speak quickly!”

“He came from a small country in the remote frontier, Xia Country.”

“Xia Country?

Hasn’t it been occupied by the Black Dragon Sect?” Red Fire Venerable frowned.

“It seems very likely that Lin Xuan is a spy sent by the Black Dragon Sect.”

“According to intelligence, it seems that Lin Xuan was once chased by people from the Black Dragon Sect, but whether he joined the Sect afterward is still unclear.”

“However, it’s said that he had conflict with the Black Heart Hall of Black Dragon Sect when he was in Heavenly Mountain Country.”

“Moreover, he has made a move against the Red and Black Clan.”

The five Venerables fell silent, the current evidence strongly suggested that Lin Xuan might indeed be a spy of the Black Dragon Sect.

“What are we waiting for?

Capture him immediately for soul interrogation!” Red Fire Venerable said.

“What do you all think?” Green Lotus Venerable asked.

“To be honest, I don’t quite believe Lin Xuan is a spy.

A person who could comprehend such Sword Intent would not submit to the Black Dragon.” Sword Venerable said.

“Plus, Lin Xuan has had conflicts with the Black Dragon Sect’s forces multiple times; he should not be their spy.”

“Let’s do this, we’ll make a move during the third round,” Green Lotus Venerable said.

Honestly, Lin Xuan’s talent was astounding, and if nothing unexpected happened, he could very well become another Sword Dao prodigy.

If such a person could be utilized by the Martial Alliance, another Venerable might emerge in the future.

Therefore, Sword Venerable and Green Lotus Venerable didn’t want to act unless absolutely necessary.

Down below, Lin Xuan was unaware that danger was drawing closer and closer to him.

It was now his turn to challenge, so he stood up and walked to the arena.

On his first challenge opportunity, he won consecutively, reaching the nineteenth rank.

With just one chance to challenge, he had entered the top twenty ranks; his strength was overwhelmingly strong!

People were shocked; Lin Xuan was one of the new geniuses who had broken into the top twenty.

If nothing unexpected happened, his ranking was very likely to stabilize in the top twenty.

Lei Zhen snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Lin Xuan.

He would not allow Lin Xuan to enter the top twenty, and if Lin Xuan did, he was determined to drive him back.

The challenges continued, and soon martial artists began to issue challenges to the Five Great Heroes.

The challenger was a warrior ranked thirteenth.

The one he challenged was the eighth-ranked Ice Spirit.
