Chapter 305: Chapter 240: Whirlwind (23)

When Lin Xing attempted to grasp the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword with one swift move and even caused it to shrink, Tianfeng’s heart was shocked.

Under the fierce aura of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, Lin Xing was still able to move freely, something he hadn’t anticipated.

And the scene where the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword shrank was completely beyond his expectations.

Earlier in today’s battle, Tianfeng had learned a great deal about the "Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique" from Bai Mei Sect Leader, understanding that his opponent could temporarily refine various objects into magical artifacts during the fight.

However, he had never imagined that the "Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique" could even affect the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword.

And in the next moment, the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword seemed enraged by Lin Xing’s actions, suddenly releasing a burst of intense sword cries.

The shadow that was initially contracting abruptly expanded to more than ten meters in length, and the thick deadly aura seemed to materialize, furiously bursting out from the shadow transformed by the blade and spreading in all directions.

Tianfeng’s face turned pale under the impact of this murderous energy.

At the same time, he felt his strength being crazily drained by the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword.

Tianfeng’s mind raced as he quickly discerned the situation: "Lin Xing has provoked the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword."

Tianfeng knew that the swords of Emei, which had been worshipped for a thousand years, were not to be spoken of in the same breath as ordinary artifacts; they were not only incredibly powerful but also possessed some spiritual intelligence.

And Lin Xing’s recent attempt to refine and transform the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword had intensely stimulated this sacred blade.

To prevent the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword from going completely out of control, Tianfeng’s eyes sharpened, already exerting his full mental power to manipulate this thousand-year-old sacred sword.

But he felt as if he were grappling with a block of thousand-year-old ice with his bare hands, and while he fully wielded the flying sword, he felt as though he was about to be frozen stiff by the deadly aura.

"Lin Xing, your recent actions were too reckless, and you have enraged the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword."

"Retreat quickly, otherwise once I lose control of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, you will surely die."

Meanwhile, the black shadow transformed by the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword vibrated continuously, and a strong Sword Intent surged, slicing long sword marks tens of meters across the surrounding ground.

Looking at the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword before him, Lin Xing felt as if he were staring at a terrifying beast chained by iron, eyeing him intently.

"I just heard about Emei’s thousand-year-old sacred sword."

"I wanted to test if the Six Secrets Immortal Refining could work on this flying sword, but it seems indeed challenging."

Lin Xing calmly said, "Go ahead with your move; although this sword is sharp, it still can’t kill me in your hands."

Seeing Lin Xing still boasting, Tianfeng, who was struggling to control the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, sharply retorted: "Ignorant fool."

In the next moment, he simply stopped suppressing the attacking desire of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword and directed the thousand-year-old flying sword to strike at Lin Xing.

Suddenly, the shadow transformed by the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword submerged into the ground, turning into multiple shadow swords shooting towards Lin Xing.

Wherever the shadow swords passed, grass and trees shattered, and dirt flew about, as if intending to rip everything before them into shreds.

However, Lin Xing lightly tapped with his sword, and with a whoosh, multiple bursts of dirt accompanied by sword light transformed into dozens of flying swords that sliced towards the shadow swords.

But Lin Xing’s usually invincible flying swords failed to make a mark this time.

With the sweep of the sword light, the soil burst apart, and the shadow swords above remained unscathed, even using the erupting soil to directly grind Lin Xing’s concentrated flying swords into dust...

Lin Xing’s gaze slightly shifted, and with a vigorous wave of his hand through the air, he saw multiple flying swords being drawn out from the dirt, dense runes bursting forth from their bodies.

...

"Hui Ling has been completely suppressed."

Hui Ling watched the combatants in the live broadcast and exclaimed, "Lin Xing’s refined flying swords are usually indestructible and perfectly balanced between hardness and flexibility, capable of changing size at will."

"Just with this technique alone, he had previously overwhelmed the Xuanyin Taoist."

"Who would have thought that now..."

In the live broadcast, Lin Xing’s refined flying swords were successively shattered by the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, and he rapidly dodged, continuously retreating under the pursuit of the shadow swords.

"This is the advantage brought by weapons," Du Kong commented from the side. "From the martial arts demonstrations a few days ago, it’s clear that modern weapons from various countries are extremely formidable, playing a significant role even among battles between high-ranking fighters of different sects."

"However, the artifacts and divine weapons we refine also have their unique advantages."

"Just take the current Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword of Emei. Although Tianfeng can’t exert its full power, just its ability to gather and disperse unpredictably, transforming into a shadow, ordinary methods are completely inadequate against this sacred sword’s attacks."

"The intricacies involved are something no modern weapon can achieve."

...

Listening to Du Kong’s explanation, Jing Shiyu thought to herself, "Is this also a showcase of the artifacts from Mirror World?"

Meanwhile, Bai Yiyi, who was extremely anxious, said, "This is troublesome now. Lin Xing’s flying sword techniques and the Six Secrets Immortal Refining seem unable to handle these shadow swords."

She turned to Jing Shiyu and said, "Should we kill Lin Xing to give him more time to think of a solution?"

Jing Shiyu looked at Bai Yiyi, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion, "Master Bai, why do I feel that you are particularly nervous today?"

"Is that so?" Bai Yiyi let out a laugh, suppressing the anxiety in her heart as she feigned a relaxed demeanor, "Why would I be nervous? Whether Lin Xing wins or loses this battle, I think it’s all fine."

Bai Yiyi sighed inwardly, trying to calm her emotions, "This gambling really tests one’s cultivation of the mind. With so many years of practicing Qi cultivation, I still find it hard to stay calm watching Lin Xing fight."

"No no, after this battle, I must never gamble again."

...

Xia Jianlong pushed Ma Hong’s wheelchair, watching the battle scene on the screen with excitement, "You see, I told you Lin Xing couldn’t possibly win this battle."

"I had already inquired earlier. The Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword is formless and invisible. Apart from dodging, Lin Xing has absolutely no way to counter it."

"So even if Tianfeng can only exert a tiny bit of power from the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, it’s enough to sweep away all the powerful successors of the second inheritance."

Ma Hong nodded continuously as he watched, his face full of gratitude towards Xia Jianlong, "Mr. Xia, I really owe you big this time."

He thought to himself that the money he had earned this time was finally enough to establish a new laboratory.

Xia Jianlong, however, was full of pride, "Brother Ma, don’t rush, this is just the beginning. After winning this battle, we still have two more to manipulate. I see no problem in multiplying the funds by tenfold."

At this moment, Xia Jianlong felt that compared to the Divine Dragon Gang’s past canal shipping business in the Mirror World, and the arduous selling of pills in the real world, earning money through insider information was much easier.

He even had an idea, which was to organize an extraordinary combat tournament in the real world and go full-time into the gambling business, letting Ma Hong and the others run the pharmaceutical factory.

...

Meanwhile,

On the Martial Arts Battlefield, Tianfeng watched Lin Xing crumble under the suppression of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, yet stubbornly persist. He thought to himself, "This meaningless persistence... it’s really annoying."

As the malicious energy of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword rebounded, Tianfeng felt his killing intent growing.

He pinched a Sword technique and pointed lightly. The Shadow Swords that were scattered on the ground suddenly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a cluster again.

"Lin Xing, my next move is called ’Star Abyss.’"

"It is a Sword technique created by the second-generation Sect Leader of Emei, after observing the malicious energy of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword when he divided the seven Holy Swords. It was also integrated into our sect’s swordsmanship."

"Today, using the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword to execute this technique, its power is unmatched by any second-inheritance expert."

"Since you don’t know how to live or die, take care of yourself now."

The next moment, endless shadows turned the entire ground black, forming a huge black hole that swallowed everything.

Everything caught in the shadows shattered instantaneously, turning into a mist of dust.

Watching the sweeping shadows, Lin Xing lightly stepped on the ground.

With a thunderous roar, large amounts of sand and soil surged skyward, and had formed layers of rune-covered earthen walls enclosing the space where Lin Xing stood.

"Still trying to withstand?" Tianfeng sneered as he watched, "Can you endure it?"

The rising earthen walls were also torn apart layer by layer by the passing shadows.

Within the enclosure of the earthen walls, Lin Xing frowned and fell into deep thought.

"The Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, being formless and invisible, is very difficult to handle with my current cultivation."

"This flying sword actually surpasses the level of the second inheritance; facing it head-on would be impossible to win."

"If I want to win, I have to bypass the sword and find a way to attack Tianfeng directly..."

But Lin Xing had already tried many methods, and Tianfeng, aware of this, had protected himself very well, leaving little opportunity for Lin Xing.

As Lin Xing was contemplating his tactics, Little Lin Xing next to him suddenly spoke with a smile, "This Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword is indeed difficult to deal with. Do you want me to help?"

Lin Xing asked, "How can you help?"

Little Lin Xing smiled lightly, "You just follow my guidance in the battle, and you will surely defeat him."

Lin Xing shook his head, "How can a sane person rely on the commands of a madman in battle?"

"It should be you following my commands."

"Am I mad?" Little Lin Xing was about to retort, but hearing the latter part of Lin Xing’s words, he surprisingly said, "Letting me fight? You want to surrender your body to my control?"

Lin Xing shook his head, "Of course not to let you control my body."

Little Lin Xing looked puzzled, "Then what do you mean?"

Lin Xing stepped lightly, and the surrounding sand and soil gently leaped up, gradually forming a humanoid figure: "During the time I practiced the Six Secrets Immortal Refining, I’ve always had an idea, whether it would be possible to help you refine a body."

The sand and soil were refined by Lin Xing into a humanoid, covered respectively with the five types of runes: rigid, yin-yang, and earth.

Then he lightly tapped his fingertips, and five rays of sword light rose from within the scenery, each entering the limbs and torso of the clay figure.
