Chapter 068：Swordsman

In the first round of the Grand Competition of the Sect, Inner Sect disciples and Core Sect disciples must be present, as they may be called upon at any time to face challenges. 

Li Lin, nature is no exception either. 

When Li Lin saw Lin Feng standing on the stage of life and death, he felt a shiver down his spine. This guy dared to challenge him. Clearly, he had reached the realm of Spirit Power. 

However, now Li Lin has relaxed a bit. Because the name Lin Feng called out was not only his own but also Yu Hao's. 

Yu Hao's strength is much stronger than his. He possesses a powerful sword and martial spirit with fierce attack capabilities. Lin Feng daring to challenge him is undoubtedly seeking his own doom. 

Standing on the stage of life and death, Li Lin felt a bit nervous. With so many people watching him, he felt a bit uneasy. 

"Why did you ask him to come up here?" Yu Hao gave Li Lin a cursory glance, his gaze carrying a hint of disdain, as if he looked down upon Li Lin. 

"Come on, all of you, let's do it together." 

Lin Feng did not respond to Yu Hao's words. He said calmly, causing Yu Hao's gaze to slightly narrow. 

Crazy, so crazy. 

Throughout the thousand-year history of Yunhai Sect, no one has ever challenged two high-level disciples in the grand competition of the sect. 

Lin Feng, as an outside-door disciple, challenged two inner-door disciples, and one of them was a powerful wielder of the Sword and Martial Spirit Power. Lin Feng broke the record of Yunhai Sect. 

"An outsider disciple like this is so presumptuous and overbearing. If he becomes powerful in the future, what will happen then? Won't he even consider the sect insignificant?" 

Above the canyon, Mo Ye said coldly, immediately eliciting a chorus of agreement. Mo Ye was not only powerful and held a high position, but also had a Mo Canglan standing behind her. Who wouldn't give her a little respect? 

Nan Gong Ling merely gave a brief glance at Moye, his expression remained emotionless and there was no indication of what he was thinking. 

As for the old man named Bei in the small house, he smiled and shook his head: "This fellow has no idea how to keep a low profile at all." 

"Get up together. Who do you think you are? Just a piece of trash!" 

Yu Hao's face was extremely pale. Who was he? He was a powerful wielder of the sword and martial spirit, and a disciple of the Inner Gate. 

Lin Feng was the kind of person he despised and could trample over at will. But it was precisely this wretch who shouted out his name on the stage of life and death, thus challenging his dignity. 

Moreover, Lin Feng was not merely aiming to challenge his dignity, but also to trample on it. How could he dare to challenge him twice at the same time? What kind of person does he think he is? 

"Exactly, what kind of person are you? How dare you challenge us? Yu Hao is a master of sword and martial arts, with extraordinary strength. He could wipe you out with just one move. Watch how long you can remain arrogant." 

Li Lin gave a hearty compliment to Yu Hao. If Yu Hao didn't intervene to stop him, it would be the best outcome. 

Yu Hao felt very pleased upon hearing Li Lin's compliment. A smile appeared on his face and he said, "Hehe, Li Lin, you're right. An outsider's disciple is not qualified to challenge me to a duel. Please help me deal with him." 

"Surely, he is not qualified to challenge Brother Yu Hao. But in order to show Brother Yu Hao's authority, I think Brother Yu Hao should let such a petty fellow know your prowess." 

Li Lin was startled when he heard Yu Hao's words. He knew that Yu Hao was going to deal with Lin Feng, but he really didn't have absolute confidence in doing so. 

"This shameless fellow has disgraced the reputation of the Yunhai Sect completely!" Seeing Li Lin's behavior, everyone was speechless. It was too embarrassing. Fortunately, this guy was still able to defend himself and speak loftily and grandly. 

"It's truly ridiculous," Lin Feng sneered. "Li Lin, I was choosing martial arts techniques and skills at the Star Chamber. You and Shen Chen had a conflict, you were intimidated by the reputation of the other party and were made fun of. Just as fate would have it, I happened to see one of your lower-level disciples nearby. So you vented your anger on me, saying that if I believed you, you could make me fail, and calling me a useless person. Now, this useless person of mine is challenging you. How can you be so hesitant and timid?" 

"Then there's Yu Hao, the owner of the Sword Spirit Soul. He's a true genius. That day, he attacked me for no reason and threatened to kill me at any time. He just said it was because I was an outsider disciple. Now, I'm standing right in front of you. Where's your sword?" 

Lin Feng said coldly, and everyone understood in their hearts. So that was it. These two Inner Gate disciples were so cocky. They bullied Lin Feng, who was an Outer Gate disciple. Now that Lin Feng's strength has grown, they came to seek revenge. 

Yu Hao's gaze darkened. He turned to Li Lin and said, "You have three breaths to spare. If you don't act, I'll incapacitate you first." 

Li Lin felt a jolt in his heart. He gritted his teeth in anger and hatred towards Yu Hao. 

Yu Hao vented his anger on Lin Feng and let loose his wild temper on him. This scene was so similar to the one when he let loose his wild temper on Lin Feng on that day. 

"OK, I'll take care of him for you right away." 

Li Lin said with a forced smile, "Come at me!" and charged towards Lin Feng. 

Lin Feng shook his head inwardly. Such an oddity! How could he possibly have managed to enter the Inner Gate? He really had no idea. 

"Get out." 

Lin Feng casually waved his hand, and the Eightfold Palm Technique was activated. Four palm imprints shot out of nowhere and directly landed on Li Lin. 

"Boom." 

Li Lin was among the weakest members of the Inner Gate. His strength was at the bottom of the list. With just a casual strike, he was sent flying and fell to the Deathbed Platform. 

Lin Feng didn't even spare a glance at Li Lin. Instead, he turned to Yu Hao and said, "You weren't going to kill me? Why are you still standing there?" 

"Only four palm-prints. And yet, so arrogant!" 

Yu Hao recognized that Lin Feng was practicing the Eightfold Palm Technique. In Yunhai Sect, there were quite a few people who mastered this martial art. Most of them could reach the level of having four palm prints or five palm prints. The truly difficult part was what came next. 

Lin Feng, with only four palm prints, even if he doesn't exert his full strength, being able to use five palm prints still wouldn't be enough to counter him. 

"Although I said I would kill you, today is the grand competition of the sect. Even on the deathbed stage, one cannot kill others. So I'll demote your status and cut off your limbs, making your life unbearable." 

Yu Hao said cruelly, "I have been extremely angry with Lin Feng." 

As he spoke, Yu Hao placed his hands on his back. His hands glowed with light, the sword like autumn water, shining brightly. An intangible sense of solemnity and coldness pervaded the space. 

This is not enough. Behind Yu Hao, his spiritual ability was activated. A virtual sword, extremely sharp, pointed towards the sky, as if it were about to pierce through heaven and earth. 

"Having a sword spirit, he is indeed no weakling. Lin Feng is in danger." 

The crowd that was very close to the battlefield felt the intense swordsmanship. They just felt a bit oppressed and uncomfortable. 

"Since you are so fond of swords, let me show you what a sword is like." 

Lin Feng said calmly, "The sword tied behind my back was pulled out by me." Immediately, an intangible sword energy burst forth and pressed against the sword energy emanating from Yu Hao. 

"Wait, he's also a sword cultivator? A wielder of sword spirit power?" 

When they sensed Lin Feng's sword energy, everyone was somewhat surprised. Yu Hao's eyes also narrowed slightly. However, seeing that Lin Feng's sword martial spirit had not appeared yet, his lips curled up into a faint smile. 

"Even without a sword spirit, how could one talk about cultivating the sword?" 

Yu Hao took a step forward, and immediately the space around him roared with a fierce and menacing aura. The sword qi became increasingly dominant. Even on the sword martial spirit behind him, there were faint flashes of sharp sword qi. 

The sword energy released by Yu Hao expanded in a domineering manner and pressed towards Lin Feng. 

"Is it necessary for a Sword Practitioner to possess a Sword-Warrior Spirit? Also, can a person with a Sword-Warrior Spirit be called a Sword Practitioner for sure?" Lin Feng questioned, his expression extremely calm. He took another step forward, and with his voice falling: "You have no clue about swords at all." 

The intangible sword qi seemed to be pulled by some inexplicable force at this moment, all rushing towards Yu Hao. Even the sword qi emanating from Yu Hao himself was like this. 

At this moment, the aura that Lin Feng exuded has transcended the realm of swordsmanship. 

"Power, this is the sword's momentum." 

Among the crowd, there were some well-informed and experienced individuals, especially the Inner Gate disciples and the core disciples. They all felt their gazes being shaken by the direction in which the sword was pointed. 

This is the Sword Technique. It's so powerful! It can control and channel the sword energy to be used by Lin Feng. Countless sword energies are his allies, pressing down on Yu Hao. 

"Oh my goodness! He is actually an outsider disciple. Just now he has entered the realm of Spirit Sword Technique, and already has the ability to control the sword momentum. What an astonishing talent!" 

Some people know how difficult it is to control the momentum. Especially someone like Lin Feng, who can control the momentum of the sword with ease and fluency. Even those at the peak of the Spirit and Martial realm, who are among the most powerful martial artists, may not be able to do so. And Lin Feng, an outsider disciple, has actually mastered the sword momentum. 

Of course, there were also some disciples who were not familiar with the matter and asked what the meaning of "sword posture" was. 

"Sure enough, it was him who struck the gongs and drums. So it turned out that he has such profound understanding at such a young age. He is far superior to me back then. This person is undoubtedly a pillar and a genius of Yunhai Sect. He must be well nurtured." 

Nan Gong Ling instantly understood why Elder Bei valued Lin Feng so highly and even wanted to kill Mo Ye on the spot. This boy's talent is truly terrifying!
