Ling Tian's arm didn't pause at all. Immediately after the Lonely Wind Sword pierced through the man's throat, he pulled it right out, and instantly shifted his attention to the other two. His body flickered as he silently appeared in front of another bloodline transformed Level 1 Martial Ancestor Realm Bodyguard without a trace, just like a demon. The Lonely Wind Sword once again flashed like silver lightning as it was thrust forward.
The middle-aged man's expression completely changed. He immediately lifted his Weapon and held it in front of his throat when he saw the Lonely Wind Sword heading towards him. Suddenly, the speeding Lonely Wind Sword dropped downward, seemingly evading the large sword protecting the man's body, and began to pierce toward the man at a sharp incline from below his Weapon.
The middle-aged man was unable to react at all to the Lonely Wind Sword's sudden change. Eventually, his eyes were filled with disbelief as the sword deeply pierced through his throat.
At that moment, a biting cold wind blew past behind Ling Tian. A large, three inches wide, two-handed sword slashed through the air with a powerful amount of Spiritual Qi Force. Before it even reached Ling Tian, the wind pressure generated from it had already caused Ling Tian's clothes to stick tightly against his back.
Feeling that chilly wind, Ling Tian immediately pulled out his sword from the man's throat and turned around to guard his front with his sword, without any hesitation.
"Clang!"
The large two-handed sword containing the powerful Spiritual Qi Force fiercely collided with the Lonely Wind Sword. The amount of power it generated forced Ling Tian back a few steps.
After sending Ling Tian backward with attack after the attack, the middle-aged man's gaze shifted to the bodyguard that had already been pierced through the throat by Ling Tian. The crimson blood was currently surging outward like a fountain from the throat, as life began to gradually fade from his eyes, his expression was still frozen in disbelief. A moment later, his entire body slowly collapsed to the ground.
With reddening eyes, the man glared at Ling Tian fiercely like a bloodthirsty, ferocious beast. He exploded in anger, "Even if I die today, I have to kill and behead you as revenge for my brothers." Powerful Spiritual Qi Force began to gather on the large sword in the middle-aged man's hands. He raised the sword tip up, and with a heavy push of his feet off the ground, he quickly charged at Ling Tian.
Ling Tian's gaze hardened as he locked onto the middle-aged man. His grip on the Lonely Wind Sword couldn't help but tighten; he had already seen the middle-aged man's plans to kill him. Faced with this bloodline transformed Level 1 Martial Ancestor Realm Bodyguard that was unafraid of death, Ling Tian was faced with some trouble. After all, his current strength was only at the Level 3 Martial king Realm. The difference between that and a bloodline transformed Level 1 Martial Ancestor Realm Bodyguard was still a pretty large gap.
The layer of thick, hazy white light that surrounded the blade was evidently more dense than it had been before. Heavy yet penetrating Sword Qi was faintly released from the Lonely Wind Sword. Just as the middle-aged man was about to charge forward, Ling Tian's right shoulder suddenly jolted, and the Lonely Wind Sword in his hand split the air as it pierced outward. The needle-thin, silver-coloured Sword Qi was shot out from the sword point and sped toward the middle-aged man at a speed that made it hard to track with the naked eye.
Seeing this slender yet dense amount of Sword Qi, the middle-aged man didn't dare to be careless. The sword flew at him so quickly that he didn't have time to dodge, so without any better options, the man could only release all of the Spiritual Qi Force he had left into his sword as he swung it downwards.
The moment the man's giant two-handed sword made contact with Ling Tian's Sword Qi enhanced sword, the two-handed sword easily scattered apart from the Sword Qi after some minor obstructions. At the same time, Ling Tian suddenly moved toward the man a few meters in front of him in a way that made him resemble a blur with his Lonely Wind Sword ready to attack.
The middle-aged man immediately retracted the large sword to block Ling Tian's attack. Afterwards, the two began to fight intensely once more.
even though this middle-aged man was stronger than him, the man's understanding of the ways of the sword was merely a drop in a bucket compared to him. His sword was at a speed thought to be inconceivable, and the way he used it had already reached a level of perfection. Against the stronger, middle-aged man, he would not be able to go against Ling Tian's sword for much longer since his defence wouldn't be able to keep up.
Ling Tian began to attack every part of the man's body with quick precision. Using his Lonely Wind Sword, it was already like a blur that was impossible to see the blade move. And with it, Ling Tian continued to quickly attack the man to the point where resisting was becoming a challenging task.
In addition, every attack the Lonely Wind Sword made was fatal. This forced the middle-aged man to lose his chances of heavily injuring Ling Tian at the stake of getting wounded himself. At the moment, the middle-aged man extremely regretted his actions. At the same time, he bitterly hated the Xie clan's young master. Originally, this journey had been completely incident free.
Unfortunately, this young master of the Xie clan who didn't know the difference between heaven and earth had purposely decided to provoke this fiend in front of him. Innocently getting into some trouble was fine, but in the end, it had harmed them to the point where two of the brothers he'd known for dozens of years had died. In addition, he himself was now stuck in a dangerous situation. He most likely wouldn't even have a chance to live after today.
For a while, the two people fought like flashes of lightning. Eventually, the middle-aged man was unable to block in time, and Ling Tian's viper-like Lonely Wind Sword stabbed him in the heart.
