After walking out of Cangsong's room, Lin Xing felt his brain exhausted and his spirit fatigued. The confidence he had in the room was nowhere to be seen now.
In the end, he was all alone. Although he had the Hehuan Sect as a backer, on the surface, he was still a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. The power of the Hehuan Sect couldn't be openly used.
Lin Xing's only remaining advantages were his strength and his eloquence. Unifying the righteous and demonic paths and the whole world... Lin Xing himself didn't have much confidence. And in front of the old fox Cangsong, his flaws were obvious. Lin Xing was still a bit inexperienced.
The final factor for success was attributed to the word "affection".
The affection between master and disciple, and the affection between brothers.
Cangsong was a true man of passion. He could betray the entire Qingyun Sect for his senior brother. In this regard, Lin Xing felt that they were quite alike. So, the best way to persuade him was not to reason with him but to appeal to his emotions.
From the very beginning, Lin Xing had been talking as a disciple, acting silly, boasting, and using every means possible. Although it was... shameful, undoubtedly, it had drawn him closer to Cangsong. His occasional displays of arrogance were also to show his strength and increase Cangsong's confidence.
Cangsong still regarded him as his disciple. Lin Xing could feel this.
And Cangsong's obsession with Wan Jianyi had finally led to this cooperation.
"Master, although I've deceived you a lot. However, I will let Wan Jianyi survive," Lin Xing looked towards the Ancestor's Shrine. Personally, he also didn't want the once - glorious Wan Jianyi to perish.
Besides, when he was fighting against the Beast God and Shura, he might need his help! After a night of detailed discussion, before he knew it, the sky had brightened. A few streaks of fish - belly white emerged, dispelling the haze in the sky. Lin Xing was too lazy to rest. He slowly walked towards the Cloud - Sea Square, taking the opportunity to study the Divine Sword Control Thunder True Formula...
———The Final Match———
"How dare you look down on me!" Miss Lu let out a coquettish drink and then attacked again. Tianya was like a dazzling meteor, flying and shooting. The dust on the arena billowed.
Lin Xing's eyes were listless as he casually parried.
Although it was the final match today, Lin Xing didn't attach the slightest importance to it. His mind was filled with completely irrelevant things.
Su Lingfeng, the uncle who bore a grudge against Qi Hao, Long Yin, and even Cangsong, he didn't know much about them. Lin Xing increasingly felt that he needed to improve his strength.
——What? What does this have to do with it?
"Powerful strength can ignore all intrigues and schemes," Lin Xing suddenly uttered this famous saying that had never appeared in the world of Zhu Xian.
"What on earth are you talking about!!"
After her full - force attack was blocked by Lin Xing, Lu Xueqi became even angrier —— precisely, she was angry because of Lin Xing's nonchalant attitude!
She had come this far. How could she lose in the end! And to this casual person!
Tianya seemed to sense its master's mood, and its blue light grew even brighter. Lu Xueqi's pale face became even more feeble, and it was obvious that she was losing control.
"Dang!"
With another collision, Lu Xueqi's body trembled, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The bright red blood was extremely eye - catching, and only then did Lin Xing react.
Oh no, I actually hurt Miss Lu!
"Miss Lu, are you okay?" Lin Xing said with concern.
Seeing Lin Xing's stunned expression, Lu Xueqi's anger flared even more. Her self - esteem and confidence had been severely hit.
This person didn't take her seriously at all!!!
"Miss Lu, why don't you... take a break and then continue the fight?"
Lin Xing originally wanted to say that she should give up, that she was no match for him. But then he thought that for someone like Lu Xueqi, whose self - esteem was extremely strong, saying that would be like slapping her in the face.
Moreover, Miss Lu still had old injuries and now new ones. She really needed to rest.
Yes, that's it! Lin Xing was truly being kind - hearted!
But when he looked again, the expression on Lu Xueqi's face had changed from anger to a deep - seated hatred of life - and - death.
"How dare you humiliate me like this!"
Lu Xueqi raised Tianya, wishing she could split Lin Xing in half!
And Comrade Lin Xing finally realized!
Damn it! That sentence just now... seemed... to have a lot of ambiguity!?
Sure enough, a muddled mind was the worst for flirting!
Lin Xing hastily dodged Lu Xueqi's attacks, running around and begging for mercy at the same time: "Miss Lu! I really didn't mean it! It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!!"
Swish swish swish! Three more thrilling sword strikes passed by Lin Xing's ears, and the strong wind made his face ache.
The divine weapon from the nine heavens is really great! Lin Xing thought in a muddled way.
No! No! This wasn't the time to think about this. He had to solve the immediate problem!
But when Lin Xing saw Miss Lu's extremely pale face, he couldn't bring himself to attack!
Hurting a beauty was the behavior of a villain! I'm the protagonist. I have to be benevolent!
What should he do? Just drag it out like this?
A shining light bulb lit up in Lin Xing's mind!
Lin Xing had an epiphany!
Yes! Drag it out!
Drag it out until Miss Lu admits defeat!
This was the legendary way to subdue the enemy without fighting! Only a genius like me could come up with it!
The muddled Lin Xing once again displayed the artistic conception of "water". Amidst the numerous attacks of Miss Lu's Tianya, he weaved in and out, and even giggled a few times, secretly admiring himself.
What he didn't know was that Miss Lu was even angrier!
He didn't even bother to block anymore!
Was that low - pitched laughter mocking her?
The self - respecting, competitive, and proud Lu Xueqi was angry again.
I can lose to you! But I will never bow my head!!!
In an instant, Tianya erupted with the most intense light, a bluish glow that covered most of the arena. Lu Xueqi's beautiful and forlorn face was reflected in the blue light, showing unwavering determination.
Seeing this, Lin Xing was shocked and quickly tried to persuade her: "Miss Lu, if you do this, you will be backlashed!"
His earnestness was evident, and it was extremely sincere!
Indeed, Lu Xueqi's body was no longer fit to fight. Using another powerful move would definitely leave hidden dangers. This time, Lin Xing was still a good person!!!
But Miss Lu didn't listen. You can humiliate me, but I don't have to cater to you. I have my dignity! Even if I faint from exhaustion, I won't let you toy with me!
Her fingers deftly formed magic formulas as she prepared to use another powerful move.
"This woman, why is she so competitive!"
Lin Xing cursed in a low voice, bent his knees, and a light flashed under his feet.
Whoosh —— In the eyes of everyone, who were dumbfounded and in disbelief, he reached Miss Lu at a speed beyond the limit and snatched the Tianya divine sword.
"Miss Lu, you're pushing yourself too hard!"
Suddenly, he felt that the Tianya in his hand was a bit heavy and was constantly struggling. Was this the so - called spirituality of a divine sword?
He was a bit sleepy, but he couldn't let Miss Lu be embarrassed just because of his own small reason. Lin Xing would never do something like taking someone's weapon to force them to surrender!
Never!
Even if the fight were to continue!
Lin Xing politely handed back Tianya with a gentle and amiable expression: "Miss Lu, here, let's continue!"
Lin Xing felt noble for this behavior that was as upright as it could be.
Damn it! I should be able to increase Miss Lu's favorability by at least seventy or eighty percent! Lin Xing thought triumphantly.
Lu Xueqi bit her lip tightly, looking at Lin Xing in front of her, who was talking and laughing freely, with his white clothes fluttering and spotless.
Was that smile mocking her again?
Taking her Tianya and then returning it, was it to show off to her?
"You ——"
Lu Xueqi weakly stretched out her hand, suppressing her anger with all her might.
"Miss Lu, this Tianya of yours is really great!" Lin Xing said enviously.
Lu Xueqi used her last bit of strength to grab Tianya fiercely. Her tightly - bitten lower lip was almost bleeding. Her beautiful eyes were ablaze with anger.
"I —— will definitely defeat you one day!"
After making this solemn vow related to her dignity and belief, Miss Lu finally collapsed in humiliation, anger, and exhaustion...
"Miss Lu! Junior Sister Lu! You —— what's wrong?"
Lin Xing supported Lu Xueqi's delicate body, looking panicked. The disciples below the arena were all red - eyed.
"So Junior Brother Lin dragged it out for so long to take advantage of her. He's really something!" A senior brother who had once had a chat with Lin Xing was full of shock and admiration...
