“You don’t need to know who I am. You’re about to die anyway so there’s no need to ask so many questions,” said the old man indifferently. Clearly, he did not think much of them.
“It won’t be that easy to kill us!” Ling Chuxi shouted coldly.
“Your Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique might work against others, but it’s useless against me. Don’t waste your energy,” said the old man disdainfully.
Ling Chuxi’s heart trembled. This man had actually seen through her Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique and completely dismissed it. Could it be that he also had a Core of Martial Path, or perhaps an Area Cultivation Method?
As if to play along with Ling Chuxi’s guessing game, the old man approached Ling Chuxi and the others slowly. Every step he took, made Ling Chuxi’s heart tremble violently. An invisible pressure also enveloped her, growing stronger as he approached. Ling Chuxi started to feel short of breath, even the flow of her blood and True Qi became sluggish.
“It’s true, it’s indeed an Area Cultivation Method!” Ling Chuxi suddenly understood.
Although the old man didn’t make a move, Ling Yichen and Baili Han’s foreheads were already covered in fine beads of sweat. They hadn’t comprehended the Core of Martial Path and their strength was inferior to the other party. They had almost no power to resist his Area Cultivation Method.
“You two stand down,” said Ling Chuxi to Ling Yichen and Baili Han.
“Chuxi.” Ling Yichen looked at Ling Chuxi with determination. It was obvious that he was prepared to fight to the death.
“Yichen, trust me,” said Ling Chuxi as she looked into Ling Yichen’s eyes.
The two of them had gone through countless life-and-death battles since they started their journey at White Stone City. Even without saying much, one tell what the other was thinking just by looking into their eyes.
Every time he saw Ling Chuxi’s eyes and read her thoughts, Ling Yichen would definitely choose to trust her without hesitation. However, today, he was a little hesitant. The stronger one was, the deeper one’s understanding of martial arts would be. The strength of this old man in front of him was truly unfathomable.
However, looking at Ling Chuxi’s gaze, Ling Yichen ultimately chose to trust her.
“Be careful,” said Ling Yichen to Ling Chuxi before retreating.
Baili Han didn’t say anything. He just solemnly nodded at Ling Chuxi and retreated as well.
Ling Chuxi turned back to her opponent and once again raised her Luo Chen Sword.
In terms of True Qi, she was inferior to the old man. And the old man even knew an Area Cultivation Method, so she wouldn’t have an upper hand there either. However, her true strength was neither True Qi nor the Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique, but the Cang Yuan Sword Play. With the Cang Yuan Sword Play, she could definitely unleash a power that would go beyond the realm of True Essence Pinnacle Stage.
Although the sword spirit had warned her not to use the Cang Yuan Sword Play lightly, she could not care too much now. Even Gongxi Kuangdao could not block one of his sword attacks, so who else could be his opponent?
“You’re overestimating yourself!” The old man snorted when he saw Ling Chuxi’s determination.
He started to approach her and even the weather changed along as the air started to grow heavy.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts fell to the bottom. The intensity of the change in atmosphere almost made their hearts stop.
Everyone could feel the difference in strength between Ling Chuxi and the old man.
Could Ling Chuxi win?
