Chapter 304: Chapter 239: Whirlwind (22)

When Lin Xing regained consciousness again, he looked at the scene in the cultivation room while the voice of a staff member came through the headset, "Lin Xing, the martial arts competition is about to start, are you not going?"

Lin Xing casually tore off the headset and once again pressed his finger against his arm, leaving a sword mark there.

Accompanied by a wave of pain, visions of the future once again appeared before him.

Blinding flashes tore through the night sky, illuminating the entire horizon.

The roaring explosions shattered the quiet of the streets, spreading fear and chaos throughout the city.

Flames danced like dragons, shockwaves rolled up billowing dust, engulfing everything around them and rising into a giant mushroom cloud.

The intense explosions continuously rose, releasing destructive energy that turned everything in sight to ashes.

The weapons humanity took pride in were turning the city into ruins, transforming skyscrapers into human coffins.

When Lin Xing regained consciousness once more, he could sense the staff outside urgently reminding him.

Yet Lin Xing was still immersed in those visions related to the future.

Recalling the scenes of the city being bombed, a foreboding feeling arose in Lin Xing’s heart, "What does it mean... ’no need to look for a fight’?"

"Could those missiles have been brought here by my own doing?"

"Do I intend to use this method to seek death, to reverse time even longer?"

Lin Xing knew that his time reversal varied in duration depending on the level of threat to his life.

Usually, the more dangerous the threat of death, the longer the time would reverse.

Lin Xing then looked at Little Lin Xing beside him, who was watching him with an innocent look.

At that moment, the urging voice of the staff came through the headset again.

Lin Xing could only temporarily set aside his various doubts about the future, step forward boldly and leave the cultivation room.

...

Hui Ling’s commentary came from the live broadcast, "We can see that Lin Xing has finally arrived at the martial arts arena."

"I wonder what the reason for his delay is, and whether it will affect the outcome of this competition."

Du Kong said, "Maybe Lin Xing did it on purpose."

Hui Ling exclaimed, "On purpose?"

Du Kong explained, "It’s a tactic in ring fighting, deliberately using actions outside the ring to disrupt the opponent’s mentality."

"If Lin Xing really did this intentionally, it also shows that he is not fully confident in this fight."

"It seems that the Emei Holy Sword has indeed put a lot of pressure on him."

Hui Ling explained, "For many viewers who are still unaware, to counter Lin Xing, the Tianfeng Taoist from the Emei Sect has specially brought out the Emei Holy Sword this time."

"There will definitely be a fierce battle to watch..."

As Lin Xing appeared, some sighed in disappointment while others settled down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Across various online platforms, millions of netizens were speculating about Lin Xing’s tardy behavior.

Countless people around the world were, at this moment, captivated by every move Lin Xing made.

At the Martial Arts Battle Field, Tianfeng Taoist, who was ritualistically wielding the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, slowly opened his eyes and calmly watched Lin Xing, "Good that you finally came."

"Lin Xing, do you know? I was really very worried just now that you had given up on this fight."

"If that were the case, I would have wasted so much effort in wielding this Holy Sword..."

Lin Xing interrupted, "Are you here to fight or to chat? I have other things to attend to, can we deal with this quickly and then go our separate ways?"

Tianfeng Taoist huffed coldly, his gaze at Lin Xing filled with intense jealousy, and in an impatient tone he said, "Do you know? What I enjoy most is crushing supposed geniuses like you ruthlessly underfoot."

"Let you know that having talent doesn’t necessarily mean one will be stronger."

During his speech, his right hand’s fingers shifted, and he had already formed a Taoist Formula.

At that moment, the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword seemed to come to life, circling around the Tianfeng Taoist, then its tip pointed towards where Lin Xing was standing, emitting a series of excited sword cries.

"This sword is named the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, and it is one of the seven Holy Swords of the Emei Sect, moreover, it is the most evil and deadly among the seven flying swords."

Lin Xing looked at the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, which seemed like a swirling shadow, and his face showed a look of surprise, "I thought it was just a shadow on the ground, but it is actually a flying sword?"

What surprised Lin Xing was that he couldn’t sense the existence of this flying sword with his supernatural awareness, as if it was indeed just a shadow.

Meanwhile, Little Lin Xing smiled and said, "This Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword is so much fun, it’s not even solid, just a shadow, you can’t block it directly."

"And about the evil energy within this sword..."

As Little Lin Xing was sharing information about the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword with Lin Xing, the Taoist Formula that Tianfeng was forming changed again, and a strong surge of evil energy erupted, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

As the evil energy from the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword erupted, the Martial Arts Battle Field suddenly darkened, as if even the light was dimmed by the impact of the evil energy.

Even Tianfeng, who was controlling the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, found his breathing slightly quickened with the outbreak of the evil energy.

He looked at Lin Xing and slowly said, "The Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword contains the evil energy concentrated from numerous unparalleled experts slain by the founder of the Emei Sect throughout his life."

"Merely getting close to this sword would cause ordinary people to be tainted by its evil energy and die in anguish."

"In the past, in order to consecrate this flying sword, countless disciples died tragically, and through generations of sealing and prohibitions, we barely managed to contain the evil energy from erupting randomly."

"Now that the seal has been broken on this Holy Sword, and the intensity of its evil energy is so immense, without supreme cultivation of the will, you wouldn’t even dream of moving in front of it."

Tianfeng sighed lightly as the shadow-like Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword slowly drifted towards Lin Xing.

"Lin Xing, I don’t know what kind of exceptional talent you possess that allowed you to break through repeatedly in just half a year and even catch up to my level."

"But this smooth cultivation process is your biggest weakness."

As Tianfeng spoke, the evil energy bursting from the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword grew even denser.

One could see clumps of weeds and cacti withering and turning yellow as they were affected by the sword’s evil energy.

"I joined the Emei Sect at seven, began cultivating at eight, and it has been forty years."

"During these forty years, I have diligently studied and practiced every day, not daring to slack off in the slightest."

"Whether it was wealth, beauty, fine wines, gourmet foods, or even relatives and friends, my own parents, I forced myself not to hold any attachment."

"Because I knew, to become strong, one must give up many things ordinary people are captivated by."

"So I cut off all worldly connections, dedicating my heart and mind entirely to cultivation."

Visible ripples surged from the body of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, and suddenly the sky was covered with dense clouds, seemingly affected by the evil energy as well.

With the continuous surge of the evil energy, the Tianfeng Taoist felt palpitations, realizing that the released evil energy was quickly reaching the limit he could control.

"My forty years of hardened cultivation of the will, honed through thousands of trials, how could you, a so-called genius, possibly imagine?"

"With my unyielding cultivation of the will controlling the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, how could the evil energy it releases be something you can withstand?"

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword had already floated in front of Lin Xing.

Tianfeng Taoist said softly, "You’ve lost."

But in the next moment, Tianfeng Taoist was shocked.

Before his astonished gaze, Lin Xing, seemingly unaffected by the evil energy at all, reached out and grabbed towards the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword.

Following this, countless obscure runes surged from the palm of Lin Xing and spread into the shadow formed by the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword.

Then, the shadow began to shrink.
