Chapter 306: Chapter 241: Whirlwind (24)

Accompanied by the breaking of the last layer of the soil wall, dust and smoke billowed into the sky, and a vague human figure emerged within it, surrounded by golden sword light that obscured the face.

The Tianfeng Taoist lightly tapped his sword, and the shadow formed by the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword continued to engulf the other party.

However, the figure retreated like a butterfly zigzagging through flowers, miraculously stepping on the dust and smoke to escape the shadow’s encirclement with an unbelievable movement technique.

Tianfeng Taoist frowned and tapped his sword repeatedly. The shadows that covered the ground undulated violently, suddenly becoming like a porcupine.

Countless Shadow Swords shot out like black bolts of lightning, aiming at the silhouette that had leaped into mid-air.

Faced with this unavoidable onslaught, a chuckle came from within the dust and smoke.

Then, one saw sword light flickering continuously as the figure’s hands transformed into two indestructible Divine Swords, directly colliding with the incoming Shadow Swords.

Like black and gold lightning striking against each other, the onslaught of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword was completely blocked by the other party.

Watching this scene, Tianfeng Taoist was slightly taken aback. He knew that the shadows formed by the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword were elusive, but in the moment of attack, they ultimately had to become solid entities to inflict damage.

And just now, Lin Xing had grasped the moment when the Shadow Swords became physical entities in the brief exchange.

"To capture that instant of shifting between illusion and reality was already an incredible feat."

"But not only did he seize that moment, he also struck with minimal force directly at the weak spots of the Shadow Swords."

Just thinking of these things, and feeling Lin Xing’s keen observation and timing of his strikes, Tianfeng Taoist felt it was unbelievable.

As he continued to manipulate the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword to attack, he could only see a series of sword lights under Lin Xing’s control, weaving tightly together like a mountain, blocking all attacks.

Especially noticeable were the traces of more than ten different styles and systems of swordsmanship within those sword lights.

"To have fused the swordsmanship of various sects into one... such talent..."

Tianfeng Taoist, watching this from afar, felt a great surge of jealousy.

He did not suppress this emotion but instead let the jealousy grow, gradually forming a unique Sword Intent.

And with the expansion of this Sword Intent, a strong sense of resentment surged within Tianfeng’s heart.

"The world is unfair, creating differences from the moment of birth."

"Ordinary people work their whole lives and can’t compare to those with outstanding natural talents for a brief moment of enlightenment..."

"The common folks toil their entire lives but cannot match the wealth those high-born naturally possess..."

Tianfeng stared intently at the figure on the battlefield, his envious gaze transforming into a surge of pure Sword Intent.

"Why should we be born inferior to these people?"

"Why?!"

"That’s why Emei had to create the ’Heaven and Earth Seizing Method’. If the heavens and earth won’t give me fairness, I’ll take it myself..."

As the Sword Intent infused by Tianfeng surged, the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword seemed to boil over with energy.

Behind Tianfeng’s head, a landscape abruptly appeared, as if numerous Sword Heroes were moving within it.

"Hate the heavens for being unjust! Hate the earth for being unfair!"

Roar!

Under the stimulation of Tianfeng’s Sword Intent, the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword let out a shrill scream, and one saw the layers of shadows roiling violently, countless black figures emerging from within.

Each shadow transformed into a figure employing a different sword technique, converging for the kill.

Heavy swords, short swords, longswords, stabbing swords, curved swords... swords of varying sizes and lengths sliced through the air, creating enormous bangs with each impact, each carrying a warlike intent as fierce as if battling the heavens and earth, viciously attacking from all directions toward the figure in the dust.

This scene was as if generations of swordsmen had emerged from history, attacking the peerless talent in front of them with intense resentment.

And the figure, watching this, chuckled lightly, "No matter how many weaklings there are, they’re still just weaklings, watch me tear you all apart."

The figure controlling the golden sword light charged headfirst into the sea of shadows and was instantly engulfed by the endless darkness.

...

"It’s Emei Sect’s ’Hundred Generations Envying Heaven Sword Map’, combined with the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword..."

Hui Ling sighed at this scene, "This is the full force that Tianfeng can unleash now."

Du Kong added from the side, "The Hundred Generations Envying Heaven Sword Map draws on the resentment of generations of Sword Heroes for their lack of innate ability, making it difficult to break through to the ultimate realm of swordsmanship."

"Once this technique is mastered, not only does it integrate the strengths of a hundred schools, but it also comprehends and merges the different Sword Intents from various sects. When faced with a Sword Dao genius, it can often unleash even greater power."

In the live broadcast, the figure engulfed by the heaven-reaching shadows was like a small boat in a vast ocean, constantly cutting through the waves but showing no sign of victory.

Du Kong said, "For Lin Xing to last this long has far exceeded my original expectations."

"Especially the fact that he can grasp the illusionary and solid changes of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, and even now, continue to withstand Tianfeng’s offense – his swordsmanship is truly incredible."

Watching the increasing amount of golden sword light, Du Kong sighed, "But Tianfeng has the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword in hand. No matter how extraordinary Lin Xing’s talent is, he is already certain to lose."

"He must feel as reluctant as those who once lost to him," she mused.

Just as Du Kong sighed softly, the golden sword light, under the siege of the Heavenly Demon Slayer Sword, finally started to fade.

When the figure under the dust and sword light became visible, a gasp rose from the crowd.

...

Surrounded by endless shadows, a figure made of sand had already stopped moving.

As the Shadow Sword cleaved the sand figure’s arm, watching it fall to the ground and shatter, Tianfeng’s eyes revealed a look of surprise.

"This is..."

At the same time, a voice came from behind his head, "This is a magical artifact clone I just refined."

Tianfeng spun around, retreating abruptly, only to be completely enveloped by a dense swarm of sword lights the next moment.

Lin Xing’s form slowly emerged from the ground, and the surrounding sand, like obedient magical artifacts, deformed and retreated as his mind willed.

Just as Tianfeng had concentrated all his attention on the battlefield ahead, even using all his combat power there, Lin Xing had been stealthily tunneling underground to his rear.

At this very moment, Lin Xing looked at him seriously and said, "Although I refined this clone on the fly, its strength is very formidable. That you could cut down... this clone, shows your battle prowess has indeed reached its peak in the second legacy."

Lin Xing said with a sigh, "The millennium-old Holy Sword of the Emei Sect truly lives up to its reputation. When wielded by you, it can exhibit such power."

But Tianfeng looked at Lin Xing incredulously, then back at the severed arm of the sand figure, "I was fighting with such a clone all this time...?"

To Tianfeng, the words spoken by Lin Xing felt like naked mockery.

He stared hard at Lin Xing, still unwilling to believe, "Impossible, how could that be a clone?"

Lin Xing casually beckoned, and the sand at his feet transformed again into a humanoid figure, then he infused strands of Sword Intent into its limbs and torso.

Watching the freely moving clone, Tianfeng’s complexion changed drastically, as if he had aged a decade in an instant.

...

As Tianfeng was taken down by Lin Xing from behind, the entire martial arts demonstration site erupted into an uproar.

No one had expected that Tianfeng, who seemed to have won a complete victory just moments before, had suddenly become the defeated party.

Especially since the opponent Tianfeng had slashed down turned out to be a suspected clone made by Lin Xing, this shocked countless viewers all the more.

Hui Ling and Du Kong on the commentary platform were both silent at this moment, appearing to everyone as if they had not anticipated this outcome.

Online platforms across the globe were completely abuzz following the end of this battle.

The battle had already been the most hyped one ever due to pre-battle public opinion.

But the destructive power, scale of combat, and the mystical aspect of the extraordinary strength displayed by both sides far surpassed that of previous martial arts demonstrations.

Especially after learning that Lin Xing had broken through from the first legacy to his current realm in just half a year, the discussions became even more intense.

Consequently, public enthusiasm for the topic surged in the following period.

People all over the world were discussing Lin Xing’s victory over Tianfeng, talking about how a contemporary with so little time spent in cultivation was able to defeat a veteran practitioner from Mirror World, whose power was augmented by a weapon.

At this moment, Lin Xing’s level of attention had reached an unprecedented peak worldwide.

At the martial arts demonstration site, the reactions of the various factions’ members to Lin Xing’s performance were mixed.

Ma Hong, his face pale, watched the live broadcast before suddenly raising his head, "Xia Jianlong!"

But after scanning around, the figure he sought was no longer to be seen.

On the other side, Bai Yiyi leaped up, exclaiming excitedly, "Hahaha, we won!"

It wasn’t until Jing Shiyu stared at her relentlessly that Bai Yiyi managed to calm herself down and laughed, "My disciple won, I’m just being a happy master."

Yet, Jing Shiyu’s face did not show much joy. Instead, she observed the online fervor with a growing sense of unease.

...

Inside a hotel in New Ke City.

Gu She Fairy watched the results of the martial arts event with a smile, commenting, "Finally over, and Emei was quite serious this time."

She stretched leisurely, smiling contentedly, "Now Xia Jianlong’s pharmaceutical factory is all ours."

Then she turned to Fairy Yunxiao and asked, "When do they plan to make their move?"

Fairy Yunxiao looked at her phone and nodded slightly, "Should be soon."

She handed the phone to Gu She Fairy, who saw a video playing where representatives of several small countries were proposing an issue.

They hoped Lin Xing would share with all of humanity the secret behind his unbelievably rapid cultivation progress, contributing to the safety and future of everyone.

It was also mentioned that governments could pay Lin Xing a large sum of money, or provide other reasonable benefits...

And in the following hours, the fervor and data surrounding the related topics skyrocketed on all major platforms, quickly becoming the world’s hottest discussion topic.
