Chapter 150: Chapter 149: Sword Energy Cross

When had the woman in white ever been treated like this? Lin Tian’s sharp and targeted words clearly made her very uncomfortable.

"The magic sword belongs to the virtuous, and you are not worthy of it," the woman in white frowned and said.

"Hahaha..." Lin Tian laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, then suddenly stopped and said with cold sarcasm, "So you claim yourself to be a person of virtue, so virtuous that you can decide whether others possess it or not. Pah, it’s nothing more than relying on your own strength to ***** and swagger about, possessing what you take by force and still trying to set up a façade of virtue. The magic sword belongs to the capable, cut the crap with that pretense!"

The typically indifferent woman in white felt ripples in her heart from Lin Tian’s words—a rare occurrence. Ancient Martial Artists of high status were used to others deferring to them, especially an extremely powerful one like her, whose words were always respected.

Only Lin Tian was stubborn as a bull, not caring if you were the king, you can’t bully or flaunt power over me; I will pull you down.

With a "buzz," the woman in white vibrated her thin sword and with just one step, appeared before Lin Tian. Gripping her sword, she thrust it quickly, aiming straight for Lin Tian’s Dan Zhong Acupoint, her intention and method mirroring Miss Xiao’s previous attack, aiming to disperse Lin Tian’s True Qi and strip him of his ability to fight.

The thin sword struck precisely at Lin Tian’s Dan Zhong Acupoint, and he only felt a pain at the point of impact. Looking down, he was relieved that it hadn’t pierced through his zombie body. However, the master’s power was much greater than the disciple’s; at least it caused pain and even pushed Lin Tian to slide backwards along the ground.

After a fierce friction, the soles of Lin Tian’s shoes were instantly worn through. He stomped backward with his right foot, his strength so great that it left a dent in the bluestone, but it halted his retreat.

His right hand swiftly raised, and before the woman in white could react, he grasped the sharp thin sword and then exerted force to bend it. According to Lin Tian’s expectation, this thin sword would break just like the katana had.

To his surprise, however, even after the thin sword was bent into a complete 360-degree angle, it showed no sign of breaking. When Lin Tian released his grip in astonishment and backed away, the thin sword "buzzed" as it sprang back to its original shape.

From the moment Lin Tian raised his hand to bend the sword to his retreat, it all happened in the blink of an eye, and the two combatants once again separated by several steps.

"What metal is it made of, some kind of super memory alloy?" The term ’memory alloy’ surfaced in Lin Tian’s mind, an alloy that could return to its original shape no matter how much it was bent, and this thin sword seemed to fit the description.

There was also news that memory alloy had appeared thousands of years ago during the Qin dynasty. A very thin bronze sword had been unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors pit; it had been severely bent under the weight of a stone statue, but sprang back to straightness immediately when the statue was removed, remaining incredibly sharp.

With this in mind, Lin Tian instinctively glanced at the golden sword stuck in the bluestone. The shape and material of the golden sword were very similar to those of ancient bronze swords—it could be that advanced sword-making technology already existed back then, only to be gradually lost over time due to certain reasons.

Seeing Lin Tian distracted and looking at other objects, the woman in white furrowed her brows again, feeling disrespected. Her first strike had been just a probe, but now with a cold "hmph," she vibrated the thin sword in her hand to indicate to Lin Tian that they were still in the midst of combat.

Hearing the buzzing of the thin sword, Lin Tian suddenly remembered the move Xiao Manxuan used during their fight. Sure enough, as the woman in white stepped forward, her thin sword thrust straight from the center and then suddenly exploded, transforming into myriad sword shadows.

The sword shadows, reflecting the cold moonlight, drew countless silvery trajectories.

"Lin Tian..."

"Master, please show mercy..."

Seeing her use this move, both Xiao sisters’ hearts trembled. Compared to the white-clad woman, the force of Xiao Manxuan’s attack was worlds apart in power. Even with Lin Tian’s formidable Cross Training skills, the Xiao sisters believed he wouldn’t be able to block their master’s attack.

Caught in the vortex of the attack, Lin Tian felt as though he was trapped in a sea of swords, with countless sharp sword lights forming into furious waves that rushed over him like a tempest.

Lin Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing through the onslaught. The countless sword lights suddenly seemed to move in slow motion, and the center of the attacking whirlpool became clear before his eyes. He let out a low roar and leapt upward, his fists striking out powerfully towards the center of the whirlpool. The air compressed under his rapid punches, issuing a series of explosive booms.

"Boom..."

With a thunderous noise, Lin Tian’s fist squarely hit the woman’s sword hilt, and the sky-filling sword shadows suddenly vanished. A look of disbelief filled her eyes, but the huge force transferred through her hand didn’t allow her time to think. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and swiftly retreated.

She glided backward like a sliding white crane, continuously drifting away. Lin Tian felt as if he had struck cotton, his force dissipating into the vast sea. Moreover, he noticed that the heavy bluestone slabs where the white-clad woman’s toes had lightly touched all cracked grotesquely.

Light as a feather in flight, yet as heavy as Taishan upon landing—not unworthy of being Xiao Manxue’s master, Lin Tian couldn’t help but admire. He was very clear about the magnitude of that punch; it could have sent a car flying, yet she had completely neutralized it.

With one punch forcing the woman to retreat from her killing move, those around stared at Lin Tian in amazement, especially Xiao Manxue. She couldn’t believe that her own master was actually forced back by Lin Tian.

She had tried to estimate Lin Tian’s strength as high as possible, yet she realized now that she had still underestimated him. She was curious about how many more secrets he held that she didn’t know. Xiao Manxue thought she had gradually come to understand Lin Tian, but now realized she still couldn’t see through him.

The retreating white-clad woman then steadied her retreat with her feet against the ground and raised her sword to attack again. Just as her sword was about to pierce Lin Tian’s chest, her momentum suddenly increased, and her thin sword burst into a blue light.

It was Sword Qi again! Lin Tian had expected she would use Sword Qi; if Xiao Manxue could do it, there was no reason her master couldn’t. Moreover, the white-clad woman’s sword qi was even more powerful. Lin Tian’s figure swayed, dodging the dangerously sharp sword thrust.

However, her sword moves were like they had eyes of their own, each one closely following Lin Tian. The strokes were interwoven in a dance of swordplay, and the aftereffects swept across the ground, slicing through the bluestone as easily as cutting tofu, leaving incredibly smooth cuts.

The entire area was crisscrossed with Sword Energy, while Lin Tian’s speed was ghost-like in its swiftness, filling the space with sword energy and his shadows. The ground’s bluestone was cut countless times and had long since become rubble.

As Lin Tian moved, the shaking stone slabs slipped down, gradually covering the pits made by the vampires, burying the vampires below. People on the sidelines kept retreating, leaving only the old Zen master guarding the entrance to the relic. Fortunately, the white-clad woman kept her sword energy under control, otherwise, Tower Forest’s outer walls would have been reduced to rubble as well.

The five injured ninjas watched with eyes filled with shock. If that woman had used Sword Qi just now, their lives wouldn’t have lasted until now. They were also astonished by the young man fighting the white-clad woman, who managed to remain unharmed even amidst the overwhelmingly powerful Sword Qi.

Lin Tian also relied on his exceptional recovery, merely dodging fatal blows while allowing the Sword Qi to add fine cuts to his body. Just as he was about to clash directly with the white-clad woman, something unexpected happened.
