Chapter 222: Chapter 162: Little Divine Sect: I was careless, didn’t dodge, let’s go again!_2

The Deputy City Governor’s face was expressionless as he looked down.

However, Lin Yan seemed not to notice the Deputy City Governor’s gaze.

He looked at Xu Dingye and then raised his sword.

Seeing this, Xu Dingye also raised his sword to gather momentum.

"This sword is called Cloud Thunder, it is an ancient sword, unrivaled in sharpness, able to slice through iron like mud."

"This sword technique of mine, named Xuantian Divine Sword, was created by my master and is listed among the top ten sword techniques in Qifeng Prefecture."

"I will exert my full strength in this strike, and I will not hold back!"

Xu Dingye took a deep breath and said, "Master, be careful!"

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before saying, "You may strike."

As his voice fell, the sound of the sword howled!

A gust of wind arose suddenly, and the dust swirled!

Martial Artists below the Refining Essence Realm, even if they were at the peak of internal strength, could not see clearly what was happening.

Only the sound of swords clashing could be heard in an instant!

Two figures crossed paths in a blink.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense.

In the midst of everyone’s breath holding, a voice was finally heard.

"Master should have worn armor, as the Cloud Thunder Treasure Sword is too sharp. Even with the tough body of the Refining Essence Realm, if you were hit by my Xuantian Sword, you would need at least half a year of rest due to the severity of the injury."

Xu Dingye slowly turned around and calmly said, "Master has lost."

Cheers came from all directions, as if the mountains and seas were boiling over.

Victory for the Little Divine Sect is indeed what the crowd expected!

This is the scene that people should witness!

"We won!" Lin Lei’s sister-in-law exclaimed, pulling at Lin Lei’s sleeve, her face filled with excitement.

"If Wu Chang admits defeat, then the Little Divine Sect dares to claim victory, it indeed can be considered Xu Dingye’s win."

Mr. Lu suddenly laughed, his eyes slightly playful.

Amidst the exclamations from all directions.

Yet in High Willow City, none of the Martial Artists above the Refining Essence Realm were exceptions; all had grave expressions.

Especially the lord of the Residual Prison Mansion, whose face was extremely stern at that moment.

"A Cultivation in the Refining Essence Realm could have such skills?"

"To think that your mastery of sword technique surpasses even me?"

——

Meanwhile, in the center of the arena, Xu Dingye, looking at Lin Yan, solemnly said, "This battle still counts as my defeat!"

He had just spoken when he suddenly saw something and showed a look of astonishment.

He paused, then spoke in amazement.

"Were you not hit by my sword?"

Lin Yan looked down at his waist where his robe was cut, and nodded slightly.

He had indeed been hit by a sword.

But the Golden Body Divine Power was activated instantly, and the sword blade had not cut his skin.

"I had thought that fighting you on equal terms, I could emerge completely unscathed."

Lin Yan nodded slightly and said, "You cut my robe; this battle is your victory."

"Thank you for the concession!"

Xu Dingye’s expression turned solemn as he sheathed his sword and gave a bow.

He bent slightly and then felt a chill wind behind him.

At that moment, all the exclamations in the arena suddenly ceased.

The atmosphere in the arena became tense!

Xu Dingye’s heart sank as he turned his head to look behind him.

The back of his robe had turned into strips of cloth in an instant as he bent over.

The sword was too fast!

It was so fast that he didn’t even react!

It was so fast that his clothes didn’t even tear before he bent over!

"In one exchange, I struck you once, and you struck me twenty-three times?"

Xu Dingye said, his voice hoarse and trembling.

"The intent was to strike thirty-six times in a single breath, but your sword technique is truly impeccable."

Lin Yan bowed slightly and said, "To dodge thirteen of my strikes and only be hit by twenty-three, damaging my robe as well—you are indeed worthy of being a disciple of the Li Shen Sect!"

This compliment came sincerely from Lin Yan because Xu Dingye’s sword skills were equivalent to the first tier of Perfection in the Triple Thunder Blade.

So young, he had even surpassed High Willow City’s Deputy City Governor, Wang Yuan, who had been practicing sword techniques painstakingly for decades!

Such sword skills truly deserved to be called a marvel!

Unfortunately, what Lin Yan had just employed was the perfected Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade.

Blood Refining Divine Blade perfected!

The first, second, and third tiers of the Triple Thunder Blade were all perfected!

Combining the Blood Refining Divine Blade with the Triple Thunder Blade resulted in the Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade!

The tier of this sword skill was unimaginably high!

And Lin Yan had perfected this sword skill!

So, even in this battle, without using True Qi and relying only on his Cultivation at the Refining Essence Realm, Lin Yan felt that winning would not be an honorable victory.

But to Xu Dingye, this was a great insult.

"Too much!"

Xu Dingye said bitterly, "Losing to you means I have not mastered my art and am inferior in skill, which led to this defeat!"

He glared at Lin Yan, saying solemnly, "My master is the most talented individual in Qifeng Prefecture for the past three hundred years! My defeat at your hands does not mean my lineage has lost to yours!"

——

All around, there was silence.

This battle had already become crystal clear!

Wu Chang of High Willow City had been struck by a sword.

The Little Divine Sect was hit by twenty-three blades.

The disparity was huge, clear even to ordinary folks with no martial arts background!

In a showdown of blades and swords, the Little Divine Sect, reputed as the foremost in this era of Qifeng Prefecture, was utterly defeated!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"All my money... I’ve put it all on him!"

"The Little Divine Sect has been renowned in Qifeng Prefecture for many years, how could it lose so miserably?"

"Who says the Little Divine Sect has lost?" another person said, "Wu Chang has already admitted defeat, it’s clear that the Little Divine Sect has won!"

"Really?"

People from all sides, buoyed by emotion, argued back and forth, creating a noisy clamor.

And half an hour ago, in a corner of the inner city.

The desk had been fiercely smashed.

Lv Tang’s face showed a fierce look.

"This isn’t following the rules," the shopkeeper of the gambling house said with a mournful face.

"Say it again, I want to change it, betting on Little Divine Sect’s Xu Dingye to win!" Lv Tang said angrily, "The fight hasn’t started yet! What’s wrong with changing it?"

"This..."

The shopkeeper of the gambling house, helpless, knowing the identity of the other party, dared not say more and eventually changed it.

He handed over the betting receipt, whispering, "The fight is starting soon, you can’t change it anymore."

"Who’s changing it again?"

Lv Tang snorted, carefully tucking the betting receipt into his chest, thinking, "This is definitely a staged fight, even Lin Yan’s entire family has put their fortune on the Little Divine Sect!"

"But this Lin Yan guy is too unkind, too disloyal, planning a staged fight without telling me in advance!"

"But fortunately, I changed it back beforehand, otherwise, all of my savings would have been lost."

He happily walked back, then heard various incredulous noises coming from ahead.

Some were furiously cursing, some were crying bitterly, others were utterly dejected...

"How could the Little Divine Sect have lost?"

"For many years, hasn’t he been the foremost person in my Qifeng Prefecture?"

"..."

Lv Tang became rigid.

He lowered his head.

And then, trembling, he took out that betting receipt.

Suddenly feeling parched and a tad dizzy.

——

Han Commander stood with his hands behind his back, watching the scene before him.

Although he had anticipated it, he still couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Not seeing Lin Yan, he turned and left.

Examining the road ahead, he ran his hand over a scar between his eyebrows.

"Li Shen Sect, you and I were born in the same era, you are ten times better than me!

My disciple has surpassed your disciple by twenty-two blades!"

——

"Let’s go."

Master Lu picked up some fruit, feeding it to Lin Xiaoyue, chuckling, "These are from Li City, we don’t have them in High Willow City. If you like them, Master Grandpa can tuck a couple of trays in your pocket."

"Eew..." Lin Xiaoyue, full of disgust, quickly shook her head, pointing at stains on his clothes.

"Hahaha!"

Master Lu laughed heartily, stroking his beard, then looked at Lin Lei beside him and said, "Your wife seems not too pleased."

"I thought my family’s Yan’s marriage depended on the Little Divine Sect," the second sister-in-law appeared depressed and said, "Who knew they would perform so poorly..."

"This..."

Master Lu had a peculiar expression and ultimately did not explain, merely gesturing, "Let’s go, we should head back."

——

Meanwhile, not far away, Lin Yan got into a carriage.

Little White Ape was about to drive back to Linjiang Square.

But then he heard noises from outside.

"Congratulations to Inspection Envoy Wu Chang for a victorious start, tonight Deputy City Governor Shi will host a banquet in the inner city, I am commanded to invite Inspection Envoy Wu Chang..."

"I have duties tonight, guarding the city."

Lin Yan spoke as usual, calmly stating, "Tell Deputy City Governor Shi, the banquet’s scale should not be wasteful, I from the Observatory also have a supervisory duty!"
