Chapter 450: 450
This sword, although its blade appeared unusually plain, had a distinctive hilt adorned with a tiger’s head.
This lifelike tiger’s head, roaring ferociously with its gaping maw gave an impression of baring its teeth to everyone present.
As the most gifted youth in the Li Family’s generation, Li Guanxin naturally possessed a wealth of treasures, for they had placed all their hopes within him.
When Li Guanxin took out this sword, his entire aura seed to surge, as if a tiger’s roar could be faintly heard emitting from within the long sword.
“You’re the third person to force to use this sword,” Li Guanxin said, with a serene expression, watching Fang Lin calmly.
Fang Lin grinned, musing to himself that the previous two must have been Yang Xuanfeng and Han Xiaoxing.
Outside the duel grounds, seeing Li Guanxin draw this sword, Yang Xuanfeng frowned slightly and comnted, “Li Guanxin is about to play his trump card.”
Upon hearing this, many mbers of the royal family were sowhat surprised and asked, “Had he been holding back all this while?”
Yang Xuanfeng shook his head, “His power is almost entirely invested in this sword. Even I would have to be very cautious against this sword.”
Hearing this, the crowd was even more shocked. Yang Xuanfeng’s assessnt was undoubtedly high. If that was the case, wouldn’t Fang Lin be in dangerous now?
The Li family mbers were all thrilled with excitent upon seeing Li Guanxin taking out the Tiger Head Long Sword.
“With the aid of this sword, Brother Guanxin is guaranteed victory.”
“Who can compete with him once this sword is drawn?”
“A re Fang Lin… a single stroke is enough to cleave him.”
…
Li family mbers expressed their views one after another, clearly placing great faith in Li Guanxin at this mont. They all believed that with this sword in play, Li Guanxin was guaranteed victory against Fang Lin.
However, Fang Lin rely sneered, “Without your Five Elents Fan, you think you can beat with this broken sword?”
Li Guanxin remained composed, looking at Fang Lin, “Are you unaware of the power of this sword? It appears that Han Xiaoxing hasn’t told you.”
Upon hearing the words, Fang Lin’s expression remained relaxed though caution rose within him.
Without wasting more words, Li Guanxin swung the Tiger Head Long Sword and lightly slashed towards Fang Lin.
Boom!
A surge of violent sword qi rushed forth, causing Fang Lin to be jolted backwards, his face and arms covered in bloody scratches.
But it was not over yet. Within that violent sword qi, a rampaging tiger seed to charge out, directly lunging towards Fang Lin.
The power of this sword far exceeded Fang Lin’s expectations. At this mont, as the rampaging tiger accompanied the sword qi in attack, Fang Lin roared and exhibited the Power of Breaking Peak to its limit, throwing out a sudden punch in retaliation.
“Overestimating yourself!” Li Guanxin sneered. The rampaging tiger and Fang Lin collided harshly. While Fang Lin remained motionless, the tiger shattered with a thunderous crash. The sword qi spiraled back in Li Guanxin’s direction.
Counterattack!
The Power of Breaking Peak, a gift of divine power!
Returning the opponent’s attack with an equally powerful counterattack was an ability of the ancient demon, Breaking Peak. And at this mont, it was displayed by Fang Lin.
Facing the surging tiger and sword qi, Fang Lin naturally did not resist head on, instead choosing to counter with the divine ability of Breaking Peak.
Li Guanxin frowned slightly, seemingly not anticipating Fang Lin’s move. However, he imdiately launched a second strike with his sword, sword qi erupted, negating the rebounding sword qi.
“Not bad.”
Li Guanxin had to concede this point, but imdiately launched another strike.
Fang Lin inwardly gritted his teeth, ‘Could this guy really wield this Tiger Head Long Sword without any constraints? That’s a bit overpowered.’
After using the divine Power of Breaking Peak once, he needed so ti to recover and couldn’t use it at will.
However, Fang Lin still had so cards up his sleeve and had not revealed all his tactics. At this mont, he was just watching Li Guanxin with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
The next mont, Fang Lin’s figure vanished, completely disappearing from the contest grounds. Even the spectators outside the field couldn’t spot him anywhere.
The sword qi from the Tiger Head Long Sword found no target and struck nothing but air. Li Guanxin froze for a mont, then quickly scanned his surroundings, pushing his Pupil Skill to its limits.
But he couldn’t find Fang Lin anywhere. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
“What’s going on?”
“Where did Fang Lin go? How co he’s suddenly gone?”
“Did he run away?”
“He couldn’t have. With so many people watching, how could he have just evaporated into thin air?”
…
Outside the contest grounds, the spectators expressed their shock and confusion; no one saw how Fang Lin disappeared.
Even Han Luoyun, Li Zhendong, and Yang Jianye were sowhat surprised. They figured out the trick Fang Lin used, but kept their silence at the mont.
At this mont, the most shocked one was undoubtedly Li Guanxin in the contest grounds. He looked around cautiously, even though there were no sign of Fang Lin, he always felt that Fang Lin was still in the grounds, only hidden by so special thod.
Bang!
Suddenly, a punch erged seemingly out of nowhere and landed heavily on Li Guanxin’s shoulder, making him stumble slightly.
Li Guanxin swiftly spun around to retaliate with a sword strike, but there was no one behind him. It was as if the punch had co out of thin air.
“Damn it!” Li Guanxin cursed under his breath. He wanted Fang Lin to confront him in a fair and straightforward duel. But now, Fang Lin was just like a ghost, completely invisible. How could they continue the fight? Was he supposed to swing the Tiger Head Long Sword blindly everywhere?
In fact, Fang Lin didn’t disappear into thin air. Instead, he was using a unique technique to foil Li Guanxin’s sight.
This tactic was similar to the Traceless Sword Tactic that Qing Jianzi used earlier, entirely untraceable.
After fighting against Qing Jianzi, Fang Lin had consulted him and found out the secret of the traceless technique.
Since Fang Lin didn’t wield a sword, he applied the essence of the technique to his movent skills. After tweaking it, it beca what it was now.
In reality, the Traceless Body Skill had a significant drawback; because a person didn’t entirely disappear, the aura was still there. If soone had sharp senses, for example, Han Xiaoxing, this Traceless Body Skill would be useless.
However, Li Guanxin was not among those. He relied more on his eyes and his Pupil Skill.
Combining this with Fang Lin’s intentional control of his aura, it was extrely difficult for Li Guanxin to locate where exactly Fang Lin was, resulting in a very passive situation.
Li Guanxin was vexed. If he could still use the Five Elents Fan, then even if Fang Lin disappeared, he could force him out.
The problem was that he couldn’t use the Five Elents Fan right now, and he didn’t have any other effective thod to deal with the currently invisible Fang Lin.
Bang!
Another distressing punch was thrown. Although Li Guanxin had reacted to the punch in ti, it was simply improbable to dodge it in that split second.
Li Guanxin staggered back, his face darkening with each passing mont. He had lost his previous tranquility. Despite having the formidable sword at his disposal, he felt sowhat impotent.
