Fang Lin knew that his fight with Ling Tian will be an extremely difficult one. First of all, Ling Tian was the reincarnation of the Million Hand Sword God! That means his fighting abilities were of a high level!
From what he knew from the past records of the Million Hand Sword God, Ling Tian most probably can use the swordforce. Even though he was stuck in the First Stage, Fang Lin knew that Ling Tian’s swordforce will most likely enhance his attacks.
Aside from that, Fang Lin was also sure that his dao grade was of a high rank. It can still indirectly increase his fighting prowess.
Fang Lin also did not forget about Ling Tian’s bone swords and his other items. He knew that Ling Tian used his abundant experience to gather these items for himself.
Fang Lin was also sure that Ling Tian was hiding more trump cards on him. As for when he will use it, that depends on whether Fang Lin can force him or not.
Fang Lin was also wary of Ling Tian’s fighting IQ. A person like him who was able to beat up Tang Luo was most likely to be a cerebral fighter.
Mix those advantages with the fact that Ling Tian was using 100 freaking swords and Fang Lin knew what the end will be.
He will just be decimated by Ling Tian easily.
With his young age and inexperience, Fang Lin knew that the longer he fights Ling Tian, the easier it will be for Ling Tian find his weakness and defeat him.
If he wants to defeat Ling Tian, Fang Lin had to win immediately in at least 1 move or at most 3 moves. Once he reached the fourth move and Ling Tian can still fight, Fang Lin would have already exhausted his reserves and will be just be thrashed easily.
In other words, Fang Lin was f**cked right now.
“S**t, to think that I can win against him… It seems like I overestimated him.” Fang Lin could feel the power that Ling Tian was showing off right now. Had he been a spectator of this fight he will probably think that Ling Tian was the protagonist and not Fang Lin!
“I want to retreat, yet I have no choice but to fight now…..” Fang Lin realized that Ling Tian was just too overbearing for him.
Fang Lin had no qualms about that. If you looked at it through common sense, Ling Tian was a Fifth Stage Powerhouse who got his cultivation regressed. No amount of talent can directly defeat this kind of people. They had experience, fighting skills and insights that allowed them to lord over those with the same Practitioner Stage as them.
Fang Lin knew that he should not be ashamed if he lost to him, since Ling Tian’s reincarnation cheat made Ling Tian definitely op. Fang Lin can beat him in the future but right now, it was Ling Tian who had the advantage.
Now, only the system cheat was missing and all the op characters will appear already.
Fang Lin knew that if he wanted to defeat Ling Tian in just three moves, he had to use his trump cards, the Dual Marks.
He shook his head upon thinking that the Dual Mark for reversing genders had no use here. Ling Tian’s steely determination will surely allow him to withstand the effects of this Dual Mark.
That leaves Fang Lin with the marks ☉, ?(fire, ice) and ?, Θ(life, death)
Fang Lin instinctively felt that he should not immediately use the marks for life and death since he was more experienced with dealing with the marks for Ice and Fire.
Fang Lin then decided to use the ☉ and ? marks first before using the marks ? and Θ. Before his fight with Ling Tian, Fang Lin was telling to himself to only use the Dual Marks on critical moments.
As for when those critical moments will happen, it depends whether his opponent wanted him deader than dead.
His current fight with Ling Tian can be said to be one of those critical moments.
Fang Lin seems to really have pissed off Ling Tian as Ling Tian sent him an attack composed of 100 swords. Not only that, but these 100 swords were arranged in a way that allowed Ling Tian to execute a powerful sword slash. Not only that, the swords were also covered with the freaking swordforce!
Even with his body strengthened from his mutation, Fang Lin knew he will die if he let himself get hit!
Fang Lin stared at the sword attack going towards him. He took a deep breath as he clapped his palms while channeling his origin force to the marks ☉ and ?.
Both of the symbols let out a glow as they transformed right before his eyes. The ☉ distorted and changed into a pale yellow flame. Upon seeing this, Fang Lin realized what it was. It was the half-step Pure Yang Universe Flame!
As for the ? on his left palm, it transformed into a white orb flickering in and out of existence. Fang Lin took a breath hitched as he realized that this orb was the half-step Pure Yin Cosmic Ice!
“Dang, my mutation really rocks. Will I still get stronger in the future after this?” This was what was on Fang Lin’s mind as he thought of all the cool stuff he can do with his marks.
Aside from his ice and fire marks, he was also excited for the prowess of the life and death marks.
“….”
Fang Lin then remembered that he must win against Ling Tian in just 3 moves! As for how we will be winning with just 3 moves, it depends on him and his time management.
Right now, Fang Lin focused his attention on the half-step Pure Yang Universe Flame and half-step Pure Yin Cosmic Ice on his palms. He knew that aside from its alchemical effects, these objects in his hand can be used in some other ways too.
As for the special offensive ways these things can be used, it will be up to him and his imagination to know that.
A fraction of a second passed by, and Fang Lin already had some scenarios on his mind.
[1] Combine the half-step Pure Yang Universe Flame and the half-step Pure Yin Cosmic Ice.
[2] Use them separately, but position them in a way that their offensive attacks will be stacked and amplified.
[3] Integrate the half-step Pure Yang Universe Flame and half-step Pure Yin Cosmic Ice with his own weapons.
[4] Ignore one of the symbols and strengthen the other.
[5] Just throw them to Ling Tian, hoping for the best.
Fang Lin then tensed his body as he started his payback. The half-step Pure Yang Universe Flame and the half-step Pure Yin Cosmic Ice floated in front of Fang Lin. They started rotating around each other as if they were about to do something. Fang Lin smiled as he willed his origin force to circulate faster to his symbols.
Both the half-step Pure Yang Universe Flame and half-step Pure Yin Cosmic Ice let out a glow as they suddenly…
