Chapter 349: Chapter 280: The Blind Man

When everyone saw the martial arts live broadcast where Lin Xing faced off against the female swordmaster,

almost all viewers were taken aback.

No one expected Lin Xing to completely suppress the female swordmaster right from the start with an indisputable advantage that even the naked eye of an ordinary person could see.

Although the viewers watching the live broadcast couldn’t hear what Lin Xing said, many began to speculate whether he had already broken through to the third transmission.

As a result, the popularity of this final battle surged even further following Lin Xing’s display of martial prowess.

And as the female swordmaster seemed to breakthrough on the spot, the battle, which had ostensibly ended, restarted, drawing more and more people into the live broadcast room.

Hui Ling said, "It’s unexpected, Lin Xing wasn’t the only one who had broken through to the third transmission before the fight, now the female swordmaster has broken through too!"

Du Kong nodded and responded, "Although Lin Xing broke through before the female swordmaster, she started practicing much earlier than Lin Xing, and her accumulated experience is much deeper. The outcome of this great battle is still uncertain."

Hui Ling asked, "Then, Senior Brother, who do you favor more?"

Du Kong shook his head and said, "The female swordmaster is obsessed with martial arts, devoted to martial arts. Her Sword Intent’s purity and precision are rare in this world. Once she breaks through the third transmission and transforms into Gang Qi, she will undoubtedly be extremely powerful."

"Lin Xing is a peerless genius who broke through to the third transmission within a year, as if an Immortal reincarnated. Nobody knows what formidable techniques he will cultivate after stepping into the third transmission."

"The victory between these two, it’s hard to say, really hard to say. It’s likely only..."

"The Buddha must know," Hui Ling chimed in from the side, "Everyone remember to click the link at the bottom of the screen to download Buddha Sound, which allows you to ask Great Bright Buddha online and resolve all worldly troubles oh."

...

Bai Yiyi was quietly watching the battle, marveling at the female swordmaster.

Suddenly hearing the advertisement, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Trash Da Guangming Temple, still not forgetting to advertise at this time."

She wanted to post a barrage to curse out Da Guangming Temple, only to discover that she had been muted.

"What the hell!" Bai Yiyi exclaimed angrily, "I haven’t even posted in the official live before, and they preemptively muted me?"

"Definitely Hui Ling’s doing."

"Damn Da Guangming Temple."

Just then, Bai Yiyi heard Jing Shiyu next to her saying, "Something feels off."

"The female swordmaster neither broke through early nor late, but right in the middle of the fight."

"It’s not like some storybook novel, I think someone deliberately arranged it."

Bai Yiyi responded, "That’s my original body, after all; an on-the-spot breakthrough is not out of the question."

Yet Jing Shiyu still harbored doubts and said, "Just in case, Master Bai, I need you to do something..."

...

In the center of the Martial Arts Battle Field.

The sword light that shot into the sky had completely engulfed the female swordmaster’s body.

Lin Xing could only sense a pair of frenzied eyes staring intently at him.

But the female swordmaster’s eyes should have been gouged out by herself.

Lin Xing looked in the direction of the female swordmaster in utter amazement and asked, "Eye-gouging breakthrough? Is that a unique ritual of the Taiching Sect?"

The female swordmaster took a deep breath, feeling the vast expanse of Sword Intent within her, and said intoxicatedly, "Lin Xing, having now broken through to the third transmission, I must defeat you..."

"Not just you, even Xingxiao will die by my sword."

"From today onwards, who else in this world can stop me? How can anyone stop me?"

Speaking thus, the sword light engulfing the female swordmaster slowly receded, gradually dissolving into wisps of white mist, and finally condensing into milky-white Gang Qi.

Gang Qi, similar to the celestial energy Lin Xing possessed after breaking through to the Third-Transmission Scattered Immortal, was a new power the female swordmaster mastered upon entering the Third-Generation Sword Saint.

At this moment, those strands of Gang Qi gradually came under the swordmaster’s control, transforming into extremely sharp Sword Gang Qi.

Compared to the black-clad girl’s indestructible Sword Gang Qi, the female swordmaster’s emitted a sense of being unreal, ever-changing, and elusive.

"Lin Xing, first let you properly observe my Sword Gang Qi, lest you be killed by a single stab and render this battle utterly uninteresting."

As the female swordmaster spread her arms, milky-white Sword Gang Qi burst forth from her body, flashing back and forth within several hundred meters of air.

This Sword Gang Qi had no clear trajectory, but appeared and disappeared, as if piercing through space itself.

"This is the Sky Breaking Sword Gang Qi condensed by the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Sword."

"This Sword Gang Qi appears and disappears without knowing where it comes from or where it goes."

As the Sword Maiden narrated, the paths of Sword Gang Qi flashing back and forth had become increasingly strange and unpredictable.

Some milk-white Sword Gang Qi burrowed directly from the ground, like giant crystals breaking through the soil.

Others grew from the grass and trees, spreading everywhere like some kind of plant.

And some Sword Gang Qi bloomed instantly like flowers covering an entire cliff face.

"So-called using the heart as the sword, and heaven and earth as the sheath, where the heart goes, the sword follows."

"This represents a sublime swordsmanship that prevails without a move over those with moves."

While the Sword Maiden spoke, the milk-white Sword Gang Qi flickered repeatedly and began to advance on Lin Xing, growing and spreading around him.

But compared to the Sword Gang Qi, Lin Xing seemed more concerned with the Sword Maiden’s current state.

He continuously observed her tightly closed eyes and asked, "Can you not see anything now?"

"Not see?" The Sword Maiden laughed heartily and said, "The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Sword is the supreme Heart Sword; naturally, one must ’see’ with the heart."

"Though I gouged out my own eyes, I can now see more clearly and finely than before."

"This is winning without eyes over having eyes."

"Compared to my lack of eyes, those spectators watching the battle are the real blind ones..."

While the Sword Maiden talked, trails of milk-white Sword Gang Qi had already completely surrounded Lin Xing.

"What number is this?"

The sudden question caught the Sword Maiden off guard, "Huh?"

Lin Xing stood two fingers up, curiously asking, "How many fingers am I holding up, can you see?"

The Sword Maiden was even more shocked and stood there frozen.

She wanted to answer, but realized she could not.

Though she could sense Lin Xing’s location and the changes in the surrounding terrain, and even lock onto his moves through airflow, intentions, and killing intent...

She simply couldn’t see how many fingers Lin Xing was holding up at the moment.

The Sword Maiden’s expression turned cold, "Nonsense, don’t fucking ask such stupid questions in front of me."

Lin Xing then said, "You can’t see?"

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "So being blind is just that—blind, not being able to see is just not being able to see."

"Not having eyes compared to having eyes is a defect, never a strength."

"To have to gouge out your own eyes to use the Heart Sword? That only shows you lack talent, more suitable perhaps, for you than trying to see clearly with open eyes..."

Endless fury erupted from the Sword Maiden’s heart, she wanted to say something, but found herself at a loss for words because every word Lin Xing spoke stabbed her heart like a sword, inflicting her with anger, shame, and resentment.

Indeed, if her talent were sufficient, why would she need to gouge out her eyes?

If she had already broken through, why wait to make a breakthrough in the heat of battle?

If she were truly invincible, why would she feel anger or resentment?

Lin Xing continued, "Do you want me to help put your eyes back in? I have recently mastered a sublime medical technique, which should be able to heal your eyes..."

Yet the milk-white brilliance had already enveloped Lin Xing.

"A bunch of nonsense from a nagging woman," The Sword Maiden roared, "There’s no need for words now, today only one of us will walk away standing!"

As the Sword Maiden’s thoughts moved, streams of Sword Gang Qi burst from the ground, starting from Lin Xing’s hands and feet, blooming towards his body.

Swords of light pierced through Lin Xing’s arms, thighs, and calves.

But then, to the astonishment of the onlookers, Lin Xing’s sword light actually directly cut off his injured limbs.

The severed limbs, like four living things, twisted and recombined, growing back onto Lin Xing’s body, reverting to an uninjured state.

"How about that, Sword Maiden? This is the medical art I’ve newly mastered."

"No matter where the body is injured, as long as it’s cut off and handed to me, I can completely heal the wound."

"Your eyeballs, trampled to a pulp, are naturally no exception."
