297: Chapter 233: Whirlwind (16) 297: Chapter 233: Whirlwind (16) “Lin Xing, it’s .”
Lin Xing, listening to the voice coming from the cellphone, found it sowhat familiar yet after thinking it over, he couldn’t recall who it was.
He imdiately realized this person was not soone he had recently been in contact with, hence the forgetfulness due to his repeated use of ti reversal to practice.
“Who are you?”
There was a pause on the other end before the person spoke again, “It’s , Mu Tianjiao.”
“Mu Tianjiao…
who?”
The person sighed and continued, “Mu Tianjiao from Xingxiao Sect, the one with red hair.”
Only then did Lin Xing have so recollection and asked, “What is it?”
Mu Tianjiao said, “Lin Xing, you are in great danger, you can’t keep winning.”
Lin Xing’s gaze sharpened, “Why?”
Mu Tianjiao sighed, “Master and other high-ranking masters from various sects had long decided the topics for the Inter-Faction Conference, including cooperation thods in the modern world among different sects, territorial control, and interests among the factions of White Eagle Country.”
“Demonstration Martial Arts is rely a procedure to showcase the martial might to the world and the products used for upcoming collaborations.”
“The matchups, victories, and rankings had already been arranged clearly by various powers after several rounds of benefit bargaining.”
“Your actions now offend everyone.”
Hearing this, Lin Xing posed a question that had been buried in his heart for a while, “Has Xia Country not participated in this?”
Mu Tianjiao hesitated before reacting, “Xia Country has been abandoned by Master and the others, the specific reasons I am not fully aware of, but it seems most high-ranking masters do not see a promising future for Xia Country.”
Hearing this, not only did Lin Xing’s doubts not clear up, but they increased even more.
Mu Tianjiao then said, “Lin Xing, from your actions, I can tell that you possess a sense of justice.”
“But sotis, the tide of power cannot be defied, and often even with a just heart, we can only follow the current.”
“If you plan to keep winning, both inside and outside the arena, they have too many ways to target you and your loved ones.”
“My words end here, be careful.”
Without giving Lin Xing much chance to ask further, Mu Tianjiao hung up after her last words.
When Lin Xing tried to call back with his cellphone, he found that her number was no longer reachable.
Lin Xing thought to himself, “Did she warn without Xingxiao’s approval or is this a warning directed by Xingxiao?”
Lin Xing didn’t know which was the case, but clearly, he was not planning to give up the competition.
“Xingxiao is giving up on Xia Country?”
Although he did not know Xingxiao’s reasons, Lin Xing felt his sense of justice reignite, “If that’s the case, I cannot afford to lose.”
“Every step I advance in Demonstration Martial Arts makes the countries understand that extraordinary power doesn’t just depend on the sects of Mirror World, thereby Xia Country could have more influence at the Inter-Faction Conference and secure more support from countries in the modern world.”
Just at this mont, Lin Xing noticed that Bai Yiyi’s body was shaking beside him, he asked puzzled, “Master Bai, what’s wrong?”
Bai Yiyi, who had been looking at the gambling results, instantly suppressed her urge to laugh wildly, thinking to herself, “Letting Lin Xing know I gamble, he’ll nag again.
Moreover, wealth should not be flaunted, I can’t let Jing Shiyu know I have won so much money.”
She forcefully controlled her excitent and impulse and said to Lin Xing, “Well… it’s the Corpse Princess going on stage, right?
Seeing my forr body going into battle again, I got a little excited.”
Lin Xing nodded and looked towards the live broadcast screen, seeing that today’s third Demonstration Martial Arts match had already started, with Corpse Princess and the new governnt’s Fan Mingxiu already on stage.
…
Fan Mingxiu, just like last ti, was accompanied by three Corpse Princesses.
He looked at the Corpse Princess in front of him, murderous intent flickering in his eyes, and thought bitterly, “Of all the opponents, I end up against this madwoman from Taiching Sect.”
Fan Mingxiu exhaled, thinking to himself, “I’ll just go through the motions and concede, wasting fighting strength on such a woman is simply a waste…”
Fan Mingxiu’s thoughts hadn’t fully ford when he suddenly saw the Corpse Princess vanish from his sight.
Instantly, a chill rose from behind him.
Without much ti to think, Fan Mingxiu instinctively ford a Taoist Formula.
With a flash of white light, he had swapped places with a Corpse Princess.
Almost the mont his form had shifted, the Corpse Princess holding a Longsword had already pierced through the chest and abdon of the Corpse Princess.
Watching this scene, Fan Mingxiu felt a chill in his heart, followed by a slight pain at his own chest and abdon, filled with both shock and fury.
Even though he had dodged the Corpse Princess’ sword, he was still injured internally by her Sword Intent.
“Madwoman!” Fan Mingxiu shouted angrily, “Are you trying to kill ?”
The Corpse Princess, impaled in the chest and abdon, roared, its body turning into a shadow that passed through the body of the Corpse Princess and then solidified into form again, turning around to aim the muzzle of its gun at the Corpse Princess.
The other two Corpse Princesses also aid their machine guns at the Corpse Princess’ position, firing directly, and a dense tal storm imdiately covered the space where the Corpse Princess was.
Facing the counterattack and siege of three Corpse Princesses, the Sword Maiden chuckled lightly and brought forth surges of energy, instantly striking towards Fan Mingxiu’s position again.
He saw Fan Mingxiu’s figure and the Corpse Princesses shuttling and transforming on the battlefield, while waves of sword light followed closely, crisscrossing back and forth, continuously slicing and piercing large swathes of the battlefield.
Fan Mingxiu cursed angrily, “Madwoman, you complete madwoman!
Do you want your Taiqing Sect to completely sever ties with the martial factions of Central Plains?”
The silver bell-like laughter of the Sword Maiden continued, “Don’t worry, you won’t die.”
Fan Mingxiu retorted irritably, “Sword Maiden, do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
…
Bai Yiyi observed the live broadcast, curious to see what realm her own body had reached in training.
First, she saw Fan Mingxiu being chased all over the battlefield by the Sword Maiden.
But the next mont, she saw the Sword Maiden suddenly stop, covering her eyes and standing still in the middle of the battlefield.
Du Kong’s comntary ca from the screen, “Fan Mingxiu, who seed to be fleeing everywhere, was actually using the flight to set up laser weapons in the dark using the Corpse Princesses.”
“What seed to be chaotic fleeing was unknowingly sealing off all of the Sword Maiden’s escape routes.”
“The automated laser weapons have now targeted the Sword Maiden from every angle, making it difficult for her to avoid being blinded by the lasers, which will significantly affect her movents.”
Hui Ling sighed, “The Sword Maiden is at a disadvantage now.
If she used modern weapons, she might be able to rely on sound to counterattack.
But relying solely on her swordsmanship, she severely lacks thods to strike opponents from a distance.”
“On the other hand, Fan Mingxiu has combined his supernatural powers with modern weapons very effectively, gaining the upper hand even though he’s weaker.”
“It’s evident that the future lies in combining supernatural powers with modern technology…”
…
anwhile, on the battlefield, Fan Mingxiu took advantage of the Sword Maiden’s blindness and commanded the three Corpse Princesses to aim their guns at her position.
Fan Mingxiu spewed hatefully, “Don’t worry, I’m not a madwoman like you.
As long as you don’t ss around, I won’t cripple you.”
He warned with a cold face, “Listen to my command later to win this match, understand?”
“Now that you can’t see, don’t just dodge randomly, in case the bullets go astray and I really do end up killing you…”
But on the other side, the Sword Maiden, with her eyes closed, slowly aid her longsword at Fan Mingxiu’s position.
She wore an excited smile on her face, “Then shoot.”
Fan Mingxiu muttered a curse about her being a madwoman and decided to teach her a lesson by commanding the Corpse Princesses to aim at the Sword Maiden’s right leg and fire.
But as the bullets were continuously blocked by the sword light, Fan Mingxiu got the three Corpse Princesses to intensify their assault.
From a few bursts, up to the full fire of three machine guns, hundreds of tallic sparks covered the area where the Sword Maiden stood every second, yet they were all deflected.
…
Bai Yiyi’s eyes widened while watching the live broadcast.
The Sword Maiden stood motionless, with twelve beams of sword light shuttling back and forth around her, forming a continuous screen of light.
Hundreds of tallic sparks lit up every second beside her, and a dense rain of bullets fell to the ground, unable to get anywhere near her.
Jing Shiyu watched this scene in awe, “Can she see?
The inheritance of Martial Arts shouldn’t include abilities like the Dharma Eye or Clairvoyance, right?”
Bai Yiyi flipped through her mories and replied, “It’s a skill transformation of the Heart Eye, known as Sword Pupil Bright Heart.”
“It’s a secret technique of Taiqing Sect.”
“It enables one to act with the sword before thought, sensing danger and attacking spontaneously without fear, even if one can’t see the target, unfazed by any stealth or assassination from the sa realm…”
…
In the Demonstration Martial Arts Arena.
From pistols to machine guns, to sniper rifles, incendiary rounds, grenade launchers, and rocket launchers…
As if showcasing an arsenal, Fan Mingxiu’s three Corpse Princesses skillfully handled a variety of modern weapons, unleashing round after round of firepower on the Sword Maiden.
If this had been a real war, then the three Corpse Princesses, with their overwhelming strength, low-altitude flight, and ability to shift between solid and intangible forms, might have already decimated an entire troop.
But no matter how Fan Mingxiu intensified the attack, he simply couldn’t break through the protection of the twelve beams of sword light surrounding the Sword Maiden.
After switching through another round of military weaponry in the hands of the Corpse Princesses, the Sword Maiden suddenly sighed and said with disappointnt, “This is too impure.”
At that mont, the Sword Maiden held her sword in both hands, and intense Sword Intent gathered atop the longsword.
Seeing this, Fan Mingxiu imdiately went on alert, forming Taoist formulas with his hands, ready to switch positions between himself and the Corpse Princesses at any mont.
Then, the Sword Maiden murmured, “You, so full of impurities, can never beco a true powerhouse.
Fighting you is simply polluting my path to greatness.”
Suddenly, she swung her sword fiercely towards the position of the three Corpse Princesses.
Then he saw a burst of three beams of sword light explode from within TEntityhe bodies of the Corpse Princesses, slicing them in half from the inside out.
Watching his three Corpse Princesses being cleaved, Fan Mingxiu felt imnse pain, then he saw the Sword Maiden, still with her eyes closed, had already walked up to him with a look of disappointnt, “Don’t worry, I said you won’t die.”
“Because I’ve decided not to kill the weak anymore.”
