Chapter 64: Lin Ping’an: I Even Used My Cheat, How Could I Still Get Beaten So Badly?

On the stage of life and death, a chilling, long sword energy landed first. Immediately following, a pair of unstoppable fist forces burst forth. The sword energy and fist forces collided in mid-air, producing a tremendous booming sound. In an instant, the entire stage of life and death shook violently. The aftershocks generated by the clash of the two spread out in all directions. The watching disciples below the stage took action one after another to dispel these aftershocks, so as not to affect those unlucky, bystander disciples. On the stage of life and death. Cao Youqian stood motionless on the spot, looking at Lin Ping'an in front of him with a face full of excitement. "I didn't expect that old codger Sword Martial King actually taught you the Seven Killing Sword Technique, the ultimate skill of your Sword Dao Institute, but there's no trace of the Saintly Art in it?" The Seven Killing Sword Technique was created by the Seven Killing Sword Saint of the Wendao Academy in the past. The Seven Killing Sword Saint became famous far and wide with these seven moves. After he left the Wendao Academy, he left this Seven Killing Sword Technique in the Sword Dao Institute. This Saintly Art is also one of the three great Saintly Arts of the Sword Dao Institute. Lin Ping'an had only recently become a disciple, yet Sword Martial King had already taught him this Saintly Art, clearly intending to cultivate him as his successor. Below the stage, Lin Qingyu's face was extremely ugly when he heard the words "Seven Killing Sword Technique." He was clearly the first person of this generation in the Sword Dao Institute to awaken a Saintly Body. But the Sword Dao Institute did not teach him any Saintly Art. Instead, that kid Lin Ping'an learned it! On the stage of life and death, Lin Ping'an's face was extremely ugly. His Seven Killing Sword Technique could increase his combat power several times over. But even so, his swordplay still couldn't break through Cao Youqian's turtle shell. Moreover, he sensed a hint of fist intent in that punch just now. This... how is this possible? That guy was clearly still a good-for-nothing a year ago. He gritted his teeth and raised the precious sword in his hand again. That sword strike just now had taken a considerable toll on him. With his current state, he could only unleash one more sword strike. Lin Ping'an shouted coldly, "Stop pretending! I don't believe you can still block another sword strike from me." "Hmph!" Cao Youqian snorted coldly, "Use whatever moves you have." Clang! This time, Lin Ping'an didn't say anything; he responded with a sword strike. This sword strike was faster and stronger than the previous one! Moreover, the sword intent was gradually approaching completeness. Boom! After this sword landed, it split the entire stage of life and death with a huge crack. But unfortunately, this sword strike did not land on Cao Youqian. "I forgot to tell you, the same move is useless against me." As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Youqian's fist force landed. Only then did Lin Ping'an come back to his senses, and he hurriedly swung his sword to defend, but it was too late. Bang! The fist force shattered the sword energy and heavily struck Lin Ping'an. His whole body flew out like a human sandbag. He glided through the air for more than ten meters before landing on the stage. Thud! Just as Lin Ping'an was about to stand up, a figure stepped on the hand holding his sword. Hiss... The ten fingers are connected to the heart; a piercing pain attacked him. Even so, Lin Ping'an was still not convinced. He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and glared at Cao Youqian. "Don't think that this will break me!" Smack! Cao Youqian responded with a slap. His slap could even daze a Tianyuan-level demon beast. Lin Ping'an's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Smack! Cao Youqian slapped the other side of his face as well, muttering, "That's symmetrical." "You!!!" Lin Ping'an wanted to stimulate the power within his body to counterattack, but his spiritual power had long been exhausted, and he was completely unable to fight back. He quickly closed his eyes and shouted with his divine sense, "Master, please lend me a hand to defeat this guy." Soon, an old voice sounded in his mind. "How could you be defeated by a little guy of the same realm? You don't have a trace of spiritual energy left in your body. If I make a move, it will consume a lot of my soul power. Moreover, I can only help you raise your cultivation to the peak of the True Fate realm. If I use all my power, that old fellow in the Wendao Academy will notice." Lin Ping'an knew very well that this old guy was just making excuses. But he had already been beaten into this miserable state, so he couldn't care less. "Master, don't worry, I will definitely find sacred objects to help you recover your soul power. As long as you can raise my cultivation to the peak of the True Fate realm, I can defeat him." "Alright." After the old man responded, he poured his soul power into Lin Ping'an's body. In the next second, Lin Ping'an's aura soared, instantly reaching the peak of the True Fate realm. The crowd below the stage of life and death showed shocked expressions on their faces one by one. Even Qin Qin couldn't help but shout, "Second Senior Brother, be careful." Upon seeing this, Cao Youqian was not afraid but took half a step back and said with a face full of excitement, "I didn't expect you to have such a secret technique!" Seeing him retreat, Lin Ping'an hurriedly grabbed the sword on the ground and thrust it at Cao Youqian. Upon seeing this, Cao Youqian not only did not retreat but also counterattacked. The sword landed on his body, making a series of clanging sounds. Cao Youqian was not polite and directly punched Lin Ping'an's heart. The distance between the two was now less than three feet. Lin Ping'an had no way to avoid this punch. Bang! The sound of something being shattered came, and Lin Ping'an's face changed drastically in an instant. He never expected that his heart-protecting mirror would be shattered by Cao Youqian's punch. Bam! Lin Ping'an felt a sharp pain in his dantian, and what followed was Cao Youqian's one-sided beating. Below the stage of life and death. The crowd of bystander disciples watching this scene on the stage of life and death were all dumbfounded. They originally thought this would be an overwhelming battle. It's just that everyone guessed the ending correctly but not the process. The one who was overwhelmingly beating was Cao Youqian, who was not favored before the fight. Moreover, his way of beating people had no demeanor of a cultivator at all, just like a street hooligan beating someone. Lin Ping'an was also dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why he still couldn't beat Cao Youqian even after asking his master to take action and erupting with the cultivation of the True Fate peak. After a long while, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky. "Stop!" Cao Youqian, carrying Lin Ping'an in his hand, looked towards the sky and saw a middle-aged man wearing the robes of a Sword Dao Institute elder flying over on his sword. Bam! He punched Lin Ping'an's dantian again. "I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?" As the Sword Dao Institute elder spoke, he exuded a terrifying aura, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. Cao Youqian's lips curled up slightly, "Oh, the Sword Dao Institute has a lot of prestige. The young ones come, and then the old ones come. What, does your Sword Dao Institute want to interfere with the rules of the Wendao Academy?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!!! ==================================================================================== Get access to 20 chapters in advance and enjoy 2 daily updates by supporting the series.
