Chapter 120 - 115: Leader

Chapter 120: Chapter 115: Leader

Compared to the last fight with Yun Jian, this time, Li Nanfeng was much more cautious.

Since Yun Jian was able to surpass his expectations, why couldn’t Lu Xingzhi?

Now the Sect Leader and Li Nanfeng unanimously believe that the Ling Tian Sword Master has been feigning madness and stupidity over these years, playing a significant game behind the scenes!

As his second disciple, could Lu Xingzhi lack any real ability?

The battle commenced.

Li Nanfeng and Lu Xingzhi launched their attacks almost simultaneously.

The light from the knife and the sword met in the middle.

Li Nanfeng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

This was just a probing attack, but Lu Xingzhi’s strength still somewhat exceeded his expectations.

Lu Xingzhi swung his knife, which actually contained two different attributes.

Li Nanfeng knew that Lu Xingzhi had Water and Fire Dual Attributes, but water and fire are inherently opposed; this was an absolute truth. Could it be that Lu Xingzhi could also fuse these two attributes together?

A not-so-good premonition surged at the bottom of Li Nanfeng’s heart.

He continued to launch a series of probing attacks.

Lu Xingzhi knew he was being tested but didn’t care about it at all.

His Dual Spirit Roots had already merged for the most part; at this rate, they would definitely be completely fused in a few months.

This matter was originally not something that could be kept hidden, and Lu Xingzhi didn’t intend to hide it.

The disciples below were just watching for excitement.

However, the expressions of the few on the high platform changed slightly.

"Water and Fire Spirit Roots... they have actually begun to merge," murmured the Ling Tian Sword Master.

Among his disciples.

He was most worried about two of them.

One was Shi Nian. Her cultivation had always been stuck at the Qi Refining Peak, unable to advance further.

The second was Lu Xingzhi. Lu Xingzhi’s Water and Fire Spirit Roots repelled each other. Other people’s Dual Spirit Roots could complement each other, but his could only drag him down. The Ling Tian Sword Master was worried that if it continued like this, the Nascent Soul Stage would be Lu Xingzhi’s limit.

But now...

He had only been drinking for a few days!

Suddenly Shi Nian could easily defeat someone at the Golden Core Peak.

Lu Xingzhi’s Spirit Roots, when were they halfway fused!?

Could it be said that...

He was drunk from the wine, and the world had actually passed by ten years?

The Ling Tian Sword Master was horror-stricken and even began to question his life.

The Sect Leader looked at him coldly, "Ling Tian, you really are extraordinary. The fusion of Spirit Roots isn’t something that can be achieved in a short amount of time. You made Lu Xingzhi pretend to stall in cultivation, but in fact, you had long found a solution to his Spirit Root issue! Time and again, you have truly made this leader regard you with new eyes."

Speaking of regarding with new eyes, the Sect Leader’s teeth were clenched in resentment.

The Ling Tian Sword Master really wanted to say.

He was innocent too!!!

He knew nothing either!!!

But such words, not to mention the Sect Leader wouldn’t believe them, even he himself found them too fantastical.

The Ling Tian Sword Master raised his eyebrows, his face calm, "What are you rushing for? The art of Spirit Root fusion has existed in the Cultivation World since ancient times. A thousand years ago, wasn’t there a Wood Xu Zhenren who fused Wood and Earth Spirit Roots and eventually awakened a mutated Single Spirit Root? If Wood Xu Zhenren could, Xingzhi naturally can as well."

"It doesn’t seem that simple," the Fire Flame Venerable couldn’t help but say, "Wood Xu Zhenren’s Spirit Roots were naturally supporting each other, their fusion understandable. But Lu Xingzhi has repelling Spirit Roots. Since ancient times, there is the saying water and fire are incompatible. But now... water and fire are actually merging?"

The Ling Tian Sword Master revealed a profound smile, "Merely repelling Spirit Roots, that won’t stump this master."

At this moment.

Even the Fire Flame Venerable was shocked.

He felt that he could no longer understand his good friend!

First there was Shi Nian’s sudden breakthrough.

Then Yun Jian executed an unprecedented sword move.

Now, Lu Xingzhi managed to even merge conflicting Spirit Roots!

All of this, was it truly from his good friend’s handiwork?

The Ling Tian Sword Master was just smiling.

The Fire Flame Venerable couldn’t help but admire.

If it was a burst from one disciple, it could still be called an accident.

But three disciples in a row, all experiencing such breakthroughs.

It’s not simple, his good friend is definitely not simple.

Bai Hua Immortal Venerable looked at the Ling Tian Sword Master and began to feel somewhat astounded and doubtful.

For so many years.

Did she actually misjudge the Ling Tian Sword Master?

Could he be such a far-sighted and strategic person?

Astonishing! Simply too astonishing!

On the platform.

The duel between Li Nanfeng and Lu Xingzhi progressively reached a fever pitch.

Both of them exhibited frequent moves, and the intensity of the battle surpassed any previous one!

In the standoff, Li Nanfeng could no longer restrain himself.

Golden light began to gather in the palm of his hand.

This move of his, after employing the obscuring technique taught by the Sect Leader, became awe-inspiringly righteous, filled with the air of the Righteous path.

But! Hidden within this blinding golden light were countless tiny needles!

Once these needles entered the body, they would frenetically devour Spiritual Energy, straining it until nothing was left, then consume the meridians, the Nascent Soul, everything! It was indeed excessively malicious!

This moment.

Li Nanfeng no longer planned to pull his punches.

Mu Nanqing, Yun Jian.

The oppressive presence brought by Ling Tian Peak grew ever more immense.

He could not allow another Lu Xingzhi to emerge.

He wanted Lu Xingzhi, dead!

As soon as Lu Xingzhi saw Li Nanfeng’s movements, he thought of the warning given by Shi Nian.

Although he did not know how Shi Nian came to know this, it did not hinder him from trusting Shi Nian unconditionally.

Lu Xingzhi quickly leaped out of the fighting ring.

Li Nanfeng’s expression was frosty.

Last time, he let Yun Jian get away, this time, he would not allow Lu Xingzhi to escape again!

The golden light converged into a disc, which floated in the air, then, slowly, pressed down towards Lu Xingzhi!

Within the golden light, numerous venomous spikes lay in wait, ready to completely engulf him should Lu Xingzhi reveal even the slightest flaw.

Lu Xingzhi’s expression was solemn.

Li Nanfeng had used his full strength.

He too would hold nothing back.

Lu Xingzhi sheathed his knife. He stretched out his left hand, a blue sphere representing the water attribute appeared; he stretched out his right hand, and a cluster of intense flames manifested.

Under Lu Xingzhi’s control. Water and fire began approaching each other!

The two mutually repelling attributes of Spiritual Power were slowly merging at this moment.

The blue and red, at the point of contact, surprisingly turned into explosive grey.

Once the two energies fully merged, the small grey sphere in Lu Xingzhi’s hand rotated, hiding within it an astonishing destructive power.

Lu Xingzhi straightforwardly threw the small grey sphere upwards.

Bang! The two energies converged in mid-air!

Grey was instantaneously swallowed by the golden light.

A flicker of joy just passed the depths of Li Nanfeng’s eyes.

The next instant. The grey energy burst forth explosively from within the golden light!

The powerful shockwave affected the entire arena.

Li Nanfeng clutched at his chest, retreating dozens of steps before finally coming to a difficult stop.

The next moment, clutching his chest, he spat out blood.

Before Li Nanfeng could react.

A sharp long knife was placed at his throat.

Lu Xingzhi spoke coldly, "You lost."

Li Nanfeng’s fingers trembled as he let out a wry smile, saying, "I didn’t expect you to have improved this much. This time, I underestimated you. The fight is over."

Lu Xingzhi looked at him, his knife steady in hand, he said calmly, "Li Nanfeng, you think I would fall for the same tactic your junior used before? I’ll give you three seconds to concede honestly, otherwise, this knife will come down immediately."

Li Nanfeng’s face changed.

His body was shuddering.

His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

Could he lose?

It’s impossible for him to lose.

"Three..."

"Two..."

But Lu Xingzhi had already started counting down.

Li Nanfeng subconsciously glanced at him.

His pupils were cold, revealing not a single hint of jest.

"One..."

"I concede!" Li Nanfeng quickly said.

Lu Xingzhi raised an eyebrow, his knife still not moved away, instead, he looked towards the referee.

The referee was a bit pale.

And the winner was... Lu Xingzhi...

He instinctively looked towards the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader’s face was gloomy, silent.

"Aren’t you going to announce the result?" the Ling Tian Sword Master raised an eyebrow.

The referee pursed his lips and said slowly, "Lu Xingzhi of Ling Tian Peak... wins. The martial arts competition has now concluded."
