Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 95: Bai Lingshuang of the Immortal Sect, Please Give Me Advice (Part )
The elder of Xianyi Sect saw the list of battle order handed over by the disciples of Zhengyang Sect.

As soon as he saw the other party's arrangements, he knew what these guys were planning.

Let the sword cultivator at the foundation-building stage take the lead. If he can win, then win. If he can't, let the rest of the people conserve their strength for tomorrow.

It was a good idea and he supported it.

He had to admit that this kid at the foundation-building level had indeed given him a lot of "surprises".

It even made him vaguely afraid.

But no matter what, the foundation-building level is still his shortcoming.

The flaws had already been revealed in the battle with Pingding Sect just now, but the people of Pingding Sect failed to hold on to the end.

After Gongshu Ye fell, the remaining two panicked. Ultimately, it was because he lacked practical experience, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to defeat three so easily.

With this kind of strength, it would be impossible to repeat the miracle of one defeating three against the Xianyi Sect team.

Apart from Shuang'er, the rest of the people in their own sect are also very strong, especially Hu Feifei. This girl was the first among all the participating disciples to join the sect and is the most mature mentally.

Moreover, as a physical cultivator, she is different from Gongshu Ye, the pure reckless man. The method that Lin Jian used to deal with Gongshu Ye cannot be repeated on her.

Feifei will be the first to consume the opponent's true energy. Even if she is defeated in the end, the opponent's condition will definitely not be much better.

Whoever is the second person has a high probability of winning.

Even if the second person is no match, Shuang'er, who is the last one standing, is an insurmountable mountain for the swordsman who is running out of energy.

The first place in this competition is still from their Xianyi Sect!
The elder, who was confident of victory, looked at the ranking list submitted by his own sect at the last minute.

"Whoo~"

The elder's blood pressure almost dropped after just one glance.

"Nonsense!"

The hand holding the list was shaking.

On the ranking list, the name Bai Lingshuang ranks first.

This girl is crazy!
Seeing this ranking, how could he not know what his disciple was thinking?
But when it comes to the development of the sect, how can one act so impulsively?!
However, no matter how angry he was, he was powerless to change the situation.

They could only watch helplessly as the sword cultivator from Zhengyang Sect and Shuang'er stepped onto the stage together after the break.

"Remember, if I can't stand to the end, you just have to admit defeat." Lin Jian gave his final instructions before going on stage.

……

"Sister Feifei, I have made up my mind. Since it is a fair competition, we should not take advantage of them. The outcome of this final match is only between the two of him and me. If I lose, you just have to admit defeat." Bai Lingshuang did not dare to look at the referee's seat, and deliberately turned her back to them and said this to her senior sister.

Then he lowered his brows, walked past his four fellow disciples and stepped onto the stage.

When he saw who his opponent was, Lin Jian was slightly stunned.

The strongest person will have the advantage if he takes action last.

I chose to fight first in order to preserve the fighting power of other members of the same clan. Why did the other party do that?
The answer to this question comes almost instantly without much thought.

But...why does she believe that she will definitely be the first to fight?
Isn't she afraid that she will be exhausted by the first two disciples and fall down, which will directly disrupt the confidence of her own team and cause the same incident as Pingding Sect to happen again?
This question seems to have an answer when looking directly into the other person's eyes.

"In the forest of Zhengyang Sect, please teach me."

"Bai Lingshuang from the Immortal Sect, please teach me."

Bai Lingshuang is a tall woman with silver hair. Perhaps because of her so-called Ice Soul Jadeite, her skin is so white that it is a little scary, and even appears translucent at the edges.

But he exuded a vibrant energy, not like someone who looked sick.

A pair of eyes, large and bright, stared at the forest ten feet away with a hint of curiosity, "You are so beautiful."

Her voice is clear and sweet, like an oriole.

When he spoke, his eyes were sincere, revealing a bit of innocence that seemed ignorant of the world.

Lin Jian responded sincerely, "You look good too."

...is also very thorough.

This is the reason.

The first two sentences instantly made the elder of Xianyi Sect on the stage blush.

"What are you doing?!" The elder suddenly stood up and put pressure on the referee. "We're already on stage and the fight hasn't started yet. Why are you wasting time here?"

"Ahem!" The elder on the field actually wanted to watch a little longer, but under pressure, he could only cough lightly and said to the two disciples on the field, "Time is limited. Please don't delay unnecessarily."

Bai Lingshuang pursed her lips slightly and nodded to the referee, then obediently closed her lips. The true energy in her hands began to gather, but she did not release it, as if she was waiting for something.

"Are you waiting for me to make the first move?" This woman is quite interesting.

Lin Jian didn't hesitate and stabbed forward with the sword in his hand.

However, after one poke, it easily missed.

Looking up, the other person's figure had already appeared several feet away.

At the same time, he made hand seals with his hands, as if he was brewing some powerful magic.

He picked up his sword in the forest and planned to chase him again, but he felt a frost under his feet.

After a quick glance, he found that there was a pool of cold white frost on the ground where Bai Lingshuang had just been.

At this moment, it has covered the soles of his feet, and the cold air is trying to spread upwards bit by bit.

Not only that, even the true energy in the feet showed signs of being frozen.

As a result, the movement of Lin Jian's Qi was slow, and there was an obvious speed difference with the tendency of his upper body.

If I hadn't reacted in time, I would have almost fallen.

The cold was not overbearing. Lin Jian gathered his true energy and easily eliminated the effects of it from his body.

But it is a bit insidious and can sneak up on you without you realizing it, and you'll fall into its trap if you're not careful.

And just as he was interrupted, a bone-chilling cone-shaped cold current erupted from between Bai Lingshuang's hands, which were in seals, and rushed towards the forest.

The direct killing power of this cold current is not very strong, but it is like frost under the feet trying to freeze the body in the forest, including the internal energy.

But the burst of Jin-element Qi within his body instantly dissipated it all, leaving only a faint trace of icy frost that lodged itself deep within him like a maggot in his tarsal bones...

Frost-marked steps, cold dragon's breath.

Bai Lingshuang looks innocent and naive, but when fighting, the coordination between her magic techniques is well-organized and her advances and retreats are well-planned.

Lin Jian frowned, and his body split into three parts and attacked the opponent from three sides.

[Seven Star Cloud Steps]
The body movements with a slight illusion effect are designed to make it impossible for the opponent to grasp the true direction of the attack and force the opponent to dodge.

Three different attack directions mean three different subsequent pursuit routes. If one fails to choose a good retreat route, it will be easy to be stuck and fall into the sword cultivator's offensive rhythm.

However, this move consumes a lot of true energy, so Lin Jian usually doesn't like to use it when encountering ordinary opponents.

As expected, it took Bai Lingshuang half a breath to identify the true body, and it seemed too late to cast a spell to dodge.

However, when the long sword in the forest really fell on his body, a layer of frost-like translucent ice armor condensed instantly, just like the true qi body protection of ordinary cultivators, which could be formed with a thought.

This ice armor even has an extra layer of physical protection compared to ordinary body-protecting true qi, and it is completely unmoved by the sword light that comes from Lin Jianzhen.

Even though several rays of light from the Lingying Flying Sword fell along with the Linjian Flying Sword itself, this seemingly thin layer of ice armor remained firm and unshakable.

The weakness of the Qi lethality of the first level of Lin Jian's foundation-building finally showed up. He was unable to break the magic cultivator's body protection spell before the magic cultivator cast a spell, and he escaped from the range again immediately after the opponent cast the next spell.

Frost Step, reappears.

Lin Jian swung his sword, shattering the frost on the sword.

This ice-based mage is truly formidable, and anyone who touches him will be corroded by the frost.

Although not fatal, it causes delays everywhere.

This was the first opponent Lin Jian encountered who could withstand the deadly sword light and always escape successfully.

Therefore, the shortcoming of insufficient lethality of the first level of foundation-building true qi was infinitely magnified.

The Thousand Blades Finger can certainly break through defense easily, but it is undoubtedly stupid to use magic against a mage at a distance.

It is difficult to hit the target with the sword piercing the long rainbow. Although this move can cover all opponents within a certain range, the range is actually limited. Once the opponent moves too far away, this move will fail.

Judging from the opponent's Frost Mark Step running speed, forcing this move is purely amplifying the air.

And the sword intent cannot be used just by saying it.

Yesterday, when he saw Chunxue being restrained, his heart was immediately excited. Under normal circumstances, he could not unleash his sword intent with a casual strike of the sword.

Think calmly during the chase in the woods.

The opponent possesses the Ice Soul Jade Marrow, and the power and speed of his ice magic are greater than those of ordinary magicians.

If I continue like this, I will definitely be exhausted to death. The Qi reserves of the other party at the third level of foundation building are not comparable to my level one.

It is necessary to limit the opponent's evasive space.

Maybe... I could try the move Haruyuki just taught me?
The sword light breaks through the air and leaves a mark, forming its own sword domain!
Sword Art: Empty Mark.
