Chapter 40: The strange woman who was not selected in the original work; second part.

Lin Xing launched a powerful attack, yet there was no excitement in his expression. Instead, he was extremely cautious.

This woman didn't appear in the original work. That is to say, she was eliminated!

From the conversations of the people in the audience, it could be discerned that this Su Lingfeng, although highly talented, wasn't particularly highly regarded. Her elimination wouldn't cause much of a stir.

Perhaps this was the reason she wasn't described in the original work.

But if that was the case, why was she now displaying her true strength?

Or was it that in the original work, due to certain reasons, she was defeated, couldn't make an appearance, or didn't even participate?

Going a step further in speculation, was it because of his arrival that certain factors had been altered, causing her actions to deviate from those in the original work?

And what exactly were these factors? Over the years, he had always been very low - key and hadn't done anything significant!

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Lin Xing collected his thoughts and closely fixed his eyes on Su Lingfeng's hands.

He needed to verify his previous conjecture!

Su Lingfeng raised her fairy sword with her fair hand and traced a series of strange arcs in the air. Immediately, a pulling force was infused into Lin Xing's sword.

Lin Xing straightened his body and advanced again with a shout. Once again, there were mysterious trajectories, completely different from Lin Xing's sword moves, yet with a sense of familiarity.

The sword marks seemed to form tiny vortices, pulling Lin Xing's sword in all directions - up, down, left, and right. There was no trace of water, but there was an artistic conception of water!

The Taiji diagram shattered with a whoosh. Lin Xing exchanged dozens of sword strikes with Su Lingfeng and found that his attacks couldn't gain any traction. He did a backflip and retreated.

Just as he had expected!

"It seems I really have to go all out!" Lin Xing thought to himself. Of course, this "going all out" was within the premise of not revealing his true abilities. Old Man Dao Xuan was watching from above!

As Lin Xing had guessed, this Su Lingfeng had comprehended the same artistic conception of "water" as him.

And what was even more terrifying was that this woman had achieved an even higher level!

Lin Xing's artistic conception of "water" was derived from imitating the trajectories of water, such as rapids, gentle currents, waterfalls, heavy rain, and all such scenes, gradually delving from the surface to the essence to give birth to the artistic conception of "water".

But this Su Lingfeng had already surpassed this stage!

She had seen through the appearance and delved into the essence of "water"! Her moves didn't need to rely on the flow of water! This was why Lin Xing hadn't seen through her at first!

Even a move that had nothing to do with the flow of water could still embody the artistic conception of water! And in terms of effect, it was superior to Lin Xing's.

She was really a tough opponent!

However, Lin Xing was puzzled. Could someone this talented really exist? —— Of course, he, a being like a bug in this world, didn't count.

In any case, this was the first time Lin Xing had used his "full strength" among his "peers"!

"Senior Sister Su, from now on, you have to be careful. My attacks might be a bit rough," Lin Xing said solemnly.

Rough!

Upon hearing this word, the referee and the audience all shuddered.

Suddenly, Lin Xing's figure shot up, leaving only an afterimage in the air.

"What!!"

The disciples in the audience exclaimed in unison!

Even the peak leaders on the stage had their mouths agape.

This speed was comparable to that of a high - level cultivator in the Upper Pure Realm, right?

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xing was in front of Su Lingfeng, and his sword was so fast that it was almost invisible.

Not only was it fast, but it also carried an aura like a gushing water column.

This was the combination of sword intent and speed!

Su Lingfeng's speed wasn't fast, but her reaction was astonishingly quick. It seemed that the moment Lin Xing moved, she had already prepared a countermeasure. One Taiji diagram after another, and sword moves one after another, densely blocked in front of her.

Lin Xing twisted his foot, and the air let out a "pop" sound. The next second, Lin Xing had moved behind Su Lingfeng.

Su Lingfeng was ready in an instant again. Although her speed couldn't keep up, her advance preparation was enough to resist Lin Xing's attacks.

Lin Xing even had the illusion that Su Lingfeng could clearly see every move of his. Her biggest weakness was that her body couldn't keep up with her thoughts, so she could only defend passively.

"Ha!"

Lin Xing thrust his sword again. Without the aid of any Daoist magic, he relied solely on speed!

Su Lingfeng retreated while setting up defenses. Although she could only defend passively, she seemed quite at ease.

However, Lin Xing decided to teach her a lesson. Strength didn't mean everything!

There were many factors that determined victory or defeat! There were at least a hundred ways to defeat you!

Lin Xing took a deep breath, his abdomen swelling.

"Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A deafening roar seemed to pierce people's eardrums. Su Lingfeng on the opposite side was startled, her face contorted, and she almost dropped her long sword.

Now was the time!

Lin Xing thrust his sword ferociously, like a waterfall cascading down.

Boom!

The Taiji diagrams shattered one after another. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xing's sword had reached his opponent's chest.

Su Lingfeng suddenly regained her senses and quickly retreated.

But!

Lin Xing's sword suddenly pierced into her shoulder!

It was that sword!

That sword suddenly elongated!

No! It wasn't the sword! It was a sword - light condensed from spiritual energy! What a strong control ability!

Lin Xing didn't give Su Lingfeng a chance to turn the tables. An endless stream of energy was injected into her body. The sword - light condensed from spiritual energy instantly penetrated Su Lingfeng's shoulder!

Her left arm, with its meridians blocked, completely lost its combat power!

Su Lingfeng's face turned deathly pale. With a flash of sword light in her right hand, she launched a powerful attack.

But Lin Xing didn't retreat. Instead, he stepped forward!

"Frost!"

A move learned from the brothers of Dragon - Head Peak wasn't without its uses. Dozens of small ice chips landed in various corners, all reflecting the sunlight onto Su Lingfeng's eyes just right!

Immediately after, Lin Xing's body was ablaze with light. His fairy sword struck with a bang. The four - colored energy of green, blue, gold, and black collided with Su Lingfeng's sword!

"Boom!"

Su Lingfeng retreated repeatedly, her eyes unable to open for a while. Relying on her intuition, she resisted Lin Xing's moves one by one.

"How terrifying. Is it really just intuition?"

Lin Xing didn't think too much. As the battle heated up, he used all kinds of moves. The experience from the simulation space of the Mangekyo Sharingan wasn't something to be trifled with.

"Rasengan!"

Lin Xing muttered in a low voice, and a ball of light appeared in his left hand.

In fact, calling it a Rasengan was a bit of a misnomer. The Rasengan was, at best, just the control of chakra. With the terrifying mental power of people like Dao Xuan, it wasn't difficult to control spiritual energy to form such a ball. Even more generally, for any kind of energy, as long as the mental power was strong enough, it could be controlled to form such a rotating sphere.

After the "quality" had changed, the formed Rasengan couldn't really be called a Rasengan anymore!

And Lin Xing's current Rasengan was an improved version mixed with spiritual energy and chakra! Its power had been enhanced significantly.

Lin Xing held his breath and concentrated. He slashed horizontally at Su Lingfeng's feet. Su Lingfeng leaped high into the air.

Perfect!

Lin Xing rushed forward.

"Dang——————"

The Rasengan collided with the fairy sword, producing a deafening noise. The audience around the arena covered their ears, their brows furrowed like earthworms.

Su Lingfeng in the air had no place to gain traction and quickly flew out of the arena.

And Lin Xing, with the energy under his feet firmly adhering to the ground, only retreated two or three steps.

"The force is mutual, but my friction is greater!"

Lin Xing had a big smile on his face. Damn it, I finally won! The Liuhe Mirror is now mine!

The people in the audience suddenly understood. Seeing such a fight for the first time, they all exclaimed: So a match can be fought like this?

It was completely relying on strategies!

And Su Lingfeng, put away her fairy sword and smiled gently. It was as if she had long known that she would lose and didn't care at all.

"As expected of the one who killed the Water - Qilin!"

Su Lingfeng looked at Lin Xing with her beautiful, glistening eyes, her tone actually carrying a bit of exhilaration!
