148: Chapter 147 Yunzhou Swordsman 148: Chapter 147 Yunzhou Swordsman The Sword Qi came so suddenly that the disciples of the Tong Family couldn’t react in time. By the time they did react, the Sword Qi had already arrived above Tong Yu’s head. Lin Xuan’s face was grim. His Soul Power was strong, and he had sensed it early on. When the hidden martial artist made their move, he had already acted. Golden arcs danced beneath his feet. Lin Xuan seemed to merge into the wind, his speed reaching an extreme. “Yu!” Tong Lan’s eyes bulged with rage. He couldn’t believe someone dared to make a move against the Tong Family! Whoosh! A flash of golden light streaked by, and the Sword Qi crashed down mightily. Tong Lan and the others’ faces turned pale as they frantically ran forward. When they saw the scene before them, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief. A terrifying crack had appeared at the entrance of the cave, but there were no casualties. Tong Yu and Lin Xuan stood five yards away, unharmed. “Yu!” Tong Lan ran over. “Brother Lan, I’m fine. Young Hero Lin saved me.” Tong Yu’s face was pale, clearly shaken. Fortunately, she was not hurt and had successfully picked the Mo Ling Flower. “Brother Lin, thank you so much!” Tong Lan said earnestly. He didn’t dare to imagine what might have happened without Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze towards the depths of the dense forest. Understanding his cue, Tong Lan and the others also turned solemnly around. “Hehe, you guys are pretty lucky, to have managed to pick a Mo Ling Flower,” a mocking voice came from the woods. Several figures emerged, their presence overpowering, wearing cold smiles as they looked at Lin Xuan and the others. “Cang Qi!” Tong Lan’s pupils shrank when he saw the figures in the woods. And the several people behind him also had very ugly expressions. Although Lin Xuan didn’t know who these people were, he could vaguely guess from the expressions on the faces of the Tong Family disciples. Those people opposite them were probably of no low status, and their strength was far superior to that of the people from the Tong Family. On their side, only Tong Lan had the cultivation of the Spirit Sea Third Level. The others were all in the Spirit Sea Second Realm. Amongst the opposing parties, two individuals were at the Spirit Sea Third Level, one of whom had an extraordinarily powerful aura, being at the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Third Layer Heaven. “What do you want? We found the Mo Ling Flower first!” Tong Yu shouted defiantly. Cang Qi looked at Tong Yu’s delicate face and graceful figure with a hint of lust in his eyes. However, when he saw Lin Xuan standing next to Tong Yu, his brows immediately furrowed. It was this kid who had ruined his plan! That sword strike had been very tricky, meant to safeguard the Mo Ling Flower and trap Tong Yu without harming her in the slightest. But all his speculation had been foiled by Lin Xuan’s interference. Cang Qi regarded Lin Xuan warily, unsure of his identity. “You Tong Family really are trash, needing outsiders as bodyguards to enter a mountain!” Cang Qi sneered. “Nonsense! Brother Lin is not a bodyguard!” Tong Yu retorted hotly, “Brother Lin is a hero of Yunzhou who helped us out when he saw we were in danger!” “Yunzhou?” Cang Qi was taken aback. He obviously knew of Yunzhou, but what would someone from there be doing here? He couldn’t understand, nor did he want to. To him, as long as they were not forces from Qing Province, elimination was the option. He made a signal with his eyes to the people behind him, and they immediately got the message. “It doesn’t matter where you’re from!” a muscular youth spoke, “Kid, I’ll give you one chance, scram now!” “Otherwise… Hmph!” The tall youth stomped his foot, the ground cracked, and countless fissures spread in all directions like a python’s net. Tong Lan and the others grew anxious, their hearts lifted as they all looked at Lin Xuan, waiting for his response. In their eyes, although Lin Xuan’s cultivation was only at the Spirit Sea Second Realm, his swordsmanship was exceptionally high, and his strength could already rival that of a Spirit Sea Third Level martial artist. If he made a move, then there was a good chance they could escape from Cang Qi and his men. But they also knew that the power of the Cang Family was stronger than that of their Tong Family by a good margin. Most people wouldn’t dare to provoke them. Tong Yu also stared at Lin Xuan nervously, her small hands tightly clutching her clothes. “I’ve learned many martial arts techniques, but I’ve never learned how to ‘roll’,” Lin Xuan said faintly, “Why don’t you demonstrate how to ‘roll’?” “Pfft!” The disciples of the Tong Family couldn’t help but laugh, and Tong Rain even covered her mouth, giggling uncontrollably. “Brat, you’re seeking death!” the tall young man roared. He was of noble status, a disciple of the Cang Family, and no one had dared to mock him like this before. Boom! His muscles bulged like coiled dragons as the tall young man stepped forward, the ground shattered beneath his foot, and his body shot out like a cannonball. “Die!” He threw a punch, and the air compressed with such speed that it created a series of explosive sounds. “Get back!” several disciples from the Tong Family retreated swiftly, leaving only Tong Lan and Lin Xuan in the center. Tong Lan secretly gathered his strength, ready to take action at any moment. Beside him, Lin Xuan swung his arm, and a ring of Sword Qi encircled his forearm. “Hurricane Style!” A sword light thrust out, and a turquoise vortex appeared around him. The wind howled and the air currents became turbulent, converging into a massive tornado in front of Lin Xuan, charging toward the tall young man. Whoosh! A circle of gale-force winds spun at high speed, its contained energy capable of grinding metal and stone to dust. Rumble, rumble— The turquoise hurricane collided with the young man’s fist, scattering winds in all directions. But under Lin Xuan’s control, these winds surged toward the tall young man. The tall young man felt gales from all directions bearing down on his body, compressing him while continuously slowing his speed. “Pitiful little tricks!” roared the tall young man, tearing at the air in front of his chest with both hands like a fierce beast. It was as if the very void had been ripped apart, creating a vacuum in front of him. “Ha ha! Die!” The tall young man broke through the hurricane and advanced once more, determined to crush Lin Xuan’s head with a single punch! Next to him, Tong Lan tensed, ready to intervene. Not far away, Cang Qi watched Lin Xuan with a cold sneer on his lips. Suddenly, a flash of sword light illuminated all directions, like a stroke of lightning that sent a chill through everyone’s heart. Thump! The tall young man was thrown backward, a cross-shaped wound appearing on his chest that was three inches deep, white bone faintly visible. Hiss— The crowd inhaled sharply, Tong Lan’s sword was only half drawn and hung suspended in mid-air. He was shocked in his heart, and his understanding of Lin Xuan had changed once again. Before, he thought that Lin Xuan could only compete with a Martial Artist of the Early-Stage Spirit Sea Third Level, but now it seemed that Lin Xuan could truly annihilate a Martial Artist of that level. Across from him, Cang Qi’s expression turned extremely sour as he signaled his people to carry the tall young man back. Others might not know the tall young man’s strength, but Cang Qi was very clear about it. This young man, named Cang Ji, had reached the Third Layer Heaven of the Spirit Sea, and his Defense Power was astonishing. An ordinary Martial Artist at the Early Stage of the Spirit Sea Third Level was no match for Cang Ji, but Lin Xuan had defeated him with a single stroke. It was almost unthinkable! “With the strength of the Second Realm of the Spirit Sea and exceptional swordsmanship, when did such a character emerge from Yunzhou?” Cang Qi’s gaze flickered. Yunzhou was at the bottom of Xia Country in terms of strength; not only was their top combat power insufficient, but the younger generation was even less impressive. Only a few from Yunzhou had entered the top hundred ranks of the Hidden Dragon List, hardly worth noting. Therefore, martial artists from other provinces of Xia Country looked down upon disciples from Yunzhou, but Lin Xuan here was clearly an exception. Cang Qi stepped forward slowly and said in a deep voice, “If you can defeat me, we’ll call it quits.” “Otherwise, you’ll have to pay with your life!”
