Chapter 221: Chapter 159 I Want to Drop Out

"Hehehe," the Sword Maiden glanced at the large amount of debris arranged in a circle around her and said playfully, "I’ve swept all the trash to your surrounding, so you can use as much as you want later."

Lin Xing stepped forward and replied, "That suits me fine, so the audience won’t have to wait."

At the same time, staff immediately asked Su Ju and the other competitors if they had any objections. After confirming that they did not, the host began to introduce the changes to the stage to the audience.

As the third bout was about to commence, the viewership on the major streaming platforms soared to new heights, with a massive influx of foreign IPs. It appeared that many were here specifically to watch the Sword Maiden’s battle.

One of the streaming platforms even crashed because the number of visitors was just too overwhelming.

The Sword Maiden had previously made a video in her role as a refugee from the Taiqing Sect, denouncing Lin Xing and Xia Country.

Aside from becoming a superhero in White Eagle Country and gaining a tremendous amount of traffic, the Sword Maiden was also considered by many to be cruel and bloodthirsty due to the videos that had surfaced from Xia Country’s side.

It could be said that just the identities of the Sword Maiden and Lin Xing were enough to make countless viewers extremely excited for this battle.

The host also became somewhat animated and turned to Hui Ling to ask, "Hui Ling, how likely do you think it is for Lin Xing to defeat the Sword Maiden and achieve a three-win streak?"

Hui Ling shook her head and said, "Lin Xing is indeed a rare talent, but his hard strength is still far too inferior to that of the Sword Maiden."

"The Sword Maiden is a direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Taiqing Sect, steeped in the Sword Dao for many years as a second-generation swordsman. Her understanding and immersion in the Sword Dao are likely far beyond that of everyone else here combined."

"Especially considering she’s just one step away from completing her pictorial ascension, her strength is far from what an ordinary successor could compare with."

"It can be said that just now, Dabagan and Xia Jianlong are not even on the same level as the Sword Maiden."

Hearing Hui Ling’s firm analysis, the host couldn’t help but feel disheartened for a moment, and the audiences across the platforms all sighed, feeling that Lin Xing’s winning streak might really have come to an end.

However, the atmosphere in Bai Yiyi’s live-streaming room was completely different.

"Lin Xing winning two rounds is already great; next up is Bai Yiyi’s turn."

"I want to see Bai Yiyi teach the Sword Maiden a lesson!"

"It’s okay if Lin Xing loses, we still have Bai Yiyi."

Looking at the barrage of comments, Bai Yiyi chuckled and said, "Ah, as much as I’d like to go up and teach the Sword Maiden a lesson, my disciple alone is enough. It’s not my turn yet."

"Are you stronger than Lin Xing?"

"Bai Yiyi scared Hui Ling from taking action, so it’s normal that she is stronger than Lin Xing."

"Bai Yiyi, are you now the strongest person in Xia Country?"

Seeing the questions in the barrage, Bai Yiyi sighed and said helplessly, "I originally just wanted to promote my country as an ordinary Transcendent, but what I got in return was mockery and insult."

"Since we have come this far today, then let’s lay it out. I’m not pretending anymore; I am the strongest in Xia Country, I am Lin Xing’s master, and I’m also the future Sect Leader of the new Taiqing Sect..."

The live stream instantly exploded in activity, with a relentless stream of comments, which made Bai Yiyi giggle continuously.

On the other side, up on the stage, it seemed as if the Sword Maiden’s eyes only held Lin Xing. Whether it was the whispering on and off the stage, or the voices of the host and Hui Ling at the commentary desk... all the changes outside the platform seemed unable to catch her attention.

From the Taiqing Sect to the Zhou Tian Sect, she had faced Lin Xing several times but had never been able to defeat him for various reasons.

In her view, the biggest influencing factor was Lin Xing’s premonition ability triggered by the threat of death.

And this time, she finally faced a one-on-one duel with her opponent, no longer affected by any external factors.

The sword in her hand slowly unsheathed, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became more and more excited.

"Lin Xing, I’m about to make my move; you better last a little longer today for me."

Without waiting for Lin Xing’s response, the swordswoman burst into wild laughter, and her entire being erupted with soaring Sword Intent.

Twelve streaks of sword light ferociously pierced out from her spine, buzzing and vibrating as they unfolded behind her.

A few strands of white appeared in the swordswoman’s flowing hair.

Yet in her eyes, there was no sign of what they implied; all that seemed to remain was her fighting will against Lin Xing.

This time, she exerted her full strength from the start, evidently not intending to hold back at all.

And at that moment, countless people within the sports venue felt as if they were pierced by sharp swords, like meat on a chopping board, their fate to live or die decided by a mere thought from the swordswoman.

Meanwhile, the swordswoman charged towards Lin Xing, creating a series of afterimages; wherever she passed, the ground itself was torn open with slashes.

Lin Xing did not attempt to control the clothes on the swordswoman’s body or the treasured sword in her hand, having learned from their previous encounter at the Zhou Tian Sect that such tactics were ineffective against her.

Lin Xing slightly raised his fingers; fragments from the surroundings already shot towards the swordswoman like meteors exploding in her direction.

While these were blasting off, Lin Xing’s Sword Control Technique quickly shifted to control a new set of objects.

Beneath their feet was a vast lawn in the stadium, where rising Sword Intent caused the soil and pebbles beneath the swordswoman’s feet to transform into sharp blades stabbing at her.

The grass turf scattered in all directions, turning into grass-blades that slashed at her legs.

Hidden in the distant shadows, Xia Jianlong watched their exchange from his hiding spot.

But upon seeing this scene, he seemed to recall the recent attack he had suffered.

Now the entire world seemed to turn into a realm of swords, controlled by Lin Xing and directed to kill the swordswoman.

In the midst of ringing sounds, thirteen streaks of sword light formed layers upon layers of sword nets, their Sword Qi sweeping away all of the incoming blades.

At this moment, the swordswoman herself seemed to become an indestructible blade, destroying everything in her path.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"So slow, so slow, Lin Xing, why are your flying swords so sluggish?"

Even under the onslaught of Lin Xing’s flying swords, she didn’t pause in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye, she closed the distance to her opponent.

With a hum, three successive sword lights swept across Lin Xing’s chest, abdomen, and neck.

But in the next instant, Lin Xing vanished from the swordswoman’s eyes, leaving only torn-up turf in front of her, shredded by the sword light.

Even with her senses disrupted by the illusion, the swordswoman didn’t stop for a moment; as she ripped through the turf, she already continued charging forward with thirteen sword lights, racing towards the Lin Xing she perceived.

"Ha ha ha! Where are you hiding?"

"I’ve come for you!"

In the arena, the sword light flashed incessantly, like streaks of lightning appearing out of thin air.

In the eyes of the swordsman, she had already killed one Lin Xing after another and was growing more and more accustomed to the onslaught of swords from all directions.

She felt her body growing hotter, her mind clearer, and her sword swinging faster. The Wuji Infinite Killing Dao seemed to be just one step away from completion; defeating Lin Xing would be the final step.

"That’s it! Just like that! Hahahaha!" The swordsman laughed wildly, "Come on, Lin Xing! Don’t stop!"

To everyone watching, they couldn’t feel that the swordsman was influenced by illusions. They thought she was closing in on Lin Xing at an astonishing speed.

With sword lights stabbing out like lightning, Lin Xing... actually managed to dodge every single one.

This very act of dodging made the swordsman’s smile even more maniacal: "Found you!"

A terrifying killing intent erupted from her, causing the staff outside the ring to fall to the ground, petrified and unable to move, like frightened mice.

Even Hui Ling on the commentary platform felt a heavy sinking feeling and became rigid.

She couldn’t help but curse in her heart, "This madwoman."

Behind the swordsman, twelve streaks of sword light fell toward Lin Xing from twelve different directions, each executing a different set of sword moves aimed simultaneously at Lin Xing.

The last sword light in her own hand filled the only gap left by the previous twelve moves, targeting Lin Xing.

As she saw her moves fulfilled, the swordsman felt her heart surge. She thought she could already see Lin Xing dismembered, becoming the stepping stone for her second breakthrough.

But what shocked the swordsman happened in the next moment.

Under Lin Xing’s Sword Control Technique, six heaps of dirt transformed into six extraordinary flying swords. With layers of energy waves and a light flick of Lin Xing’s finger, he broke six sword moves in one breath.

What was a flawless offense suddenly had loopholes. As Lin Xing stepped lightly through the gap, he completely dismantled the entire attack.

"In an instant... He broke six of my sword moves in an instant?"

No one was more shaken than the swordsman. She deeply understood that the thirteen moves she just executed were the essence of her lifetime cultivation of swordsmanship.

Each move had taken countless days and nights to create.

How could someone break them in an instant?

With a roar, the swordsman chased after Lin Xing again, with thirteen sword lights casting wondrous moves, all slashing at him simultaneously.

But this time, amid the clanging sounds, Lin Xing seemed to solve the moves even faster. The six dirt flying swords under his control seemed to anticipate the swordsman’s every move, breaking seven moves in one breath, even outdoing his previous feat.

"No way, no one can break my moves in an instant..."

At that moment, the swordsman felt the breakthrough she was about to make suddenly grow cold.

She felt extremely uncomfortable.

The swordsman abruptly looked up at Lin Xing and said, "Is it your power again? Have you activated it again?"

She turned her head to look around the arena and suddenly locked onto the direction where Jing Shiyu was.

"Is it her, right? What has she done..."

Boom!

An explosion of immeasurable force went off beneath the ground where they battled, and blinding light engulfed hundreds of square meters in an instant...

...

When Lin Xing came to his senses, time had inexplicably reversed to the moment he was fighting Xia Jianlong.

With a resigned sigh, Lin Xing pointed at Xia Jianlong and said, "You, come here."

After shaving the number 1563 onto Xia Jianlong’s forehead, Lin Xing defeated him in the same manner as before.

Then, the moment to battle the swordsman came again.

After a string of dizzying fights, the swordsman suddenly turned and left: "Damn it!"

"You bastard! You broke eight of my moves in one go?"

"You think I can’t tell that you used your power again?"

"I’m done! I’m not fighting..."

Jing Shiyu silently pressed the button... Boom!

...

"Damn it, you’re cheating!"

Boom!

...

"These are my moves! I’ve never used them in front of you... I get it now!"

"I’m done, this competition is meaningless..."

Boom!

...

"You’re cheating!"

"You definitely cheated!"

"I’m going to expose you all online..."

Boom!

...

After another instance of time reversal,

Watching Xia Jianlong run out of the arena, naked and frantic, Lin Xing rubbed his forehead resignedly: "Why can’t this swordsman take a loss? As soon as she falls behind, she makes a fuss about withdrawing and exposing the fraud."
