WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 149: Battle with Gui Yan
“A cocky fool!”
When he saw Lin Dong's calm appearance, the malice in Gui Yan's eyes increased. His hand flicked and then grasped the black sword that appeared in his palm. The sound of his sword sheath, coupled with the ghastly ghost tattoo created a terrifying atmosphere.
Gui Yan was also dubbed as the 'Host Sword' in Yan City because his sword techniques were extremely ruthless and cunning. Over the years, many elite practitioners had met their makers in his hands. Moreover, some of them were even at the advanced Yuan Dan stage. Hence, his reputation was several times greater than that of Wei Tong. In fact, most people admit that he is the most likely candidate to advance to the perfect Yuan Dan stage. At that time, the reputation of the Ghost Sword Sect in Yan City would skyrocket!
For this reason, although many people knew that Lin Dong had once personally killed Wei Tong, they did not support him against Gui Yan.
After all, Wei Tong really could not hold a candle to Gui Yan.
As he faced the people who were secretly celebrating his misfortune, Lin Dong chose to ignore them. As he raised his palm, four blades flew out from his Qiankun bag. Of these four blades, three emitted an icy-cold Qi, while the remaining ones emitted a stinging heat. The blade twirled and danced around Lin Dong's body, causing many visible images.
"Lin Dong, be careful!"
When he saw that Lin Dong was really ready to fight Gui Yan, Xuan Su involuntarily shouted.
Lin Dong gently nodded his head as he waved his hand at Xuan Su and the others.
“A cocky brat. You want an explanation, right? I'll give you an explanation!" The corner of Gui Yan's lips was pulled back, as a horrifying expression appeared on his face. An extremely powerful Yuan power surged on his body, like a tidal wave. Meanwhile, a menacing atmosphere began to appear!
“Aura is so strong. It looks like Gui Yan will soon advance to the perfect Yuan Dan stage!” As they sensed the aura from Gui Yan's body, a choir erupted outside the field.
"This person is indeed much stronger than Wei Tong!"
A surprised expression flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. The so-called Yuan practitioner and the number one advanced level was indeed capable. Based on this aura alone, one could tell that Wei Tong had nothing on him.
“Swoosh!”
With the sword in hand, Gui Yan's gaze turned increasingly evil. As he stared straight at Lin Dong, his legs jutted forward before he immediately turned into a black shadow and dashed towards the latter at lightning speed. The long sword in his hand warped in a formidable manner, as he ruthlessly swung his sword at an extremely complicated angle which ruthlessly cut towards Lin Dong.
"About!"
In response to Gui Yan's strong accusations, Lin Dong remained silent. He stuck out his finger as the three Mysterious Ice Swords hovering around him immediately exploded. They carried a threatening chill as they held back the sword attack, before they suddenly turned around. An ice-cold knife was furiously stabbed.
Even though his swordsmanship was not outstanding, thanks to Lin Dong's Mental Energy control, his attacks were still quite formidable. The trajectory of his attack was almost impossible to escape. And this, was one of the advantages of using Mental Energy.
“About clang!”
As he sensed that bone-chilling sword aura, Gui Yan snorted. The sword in his hand suddenly danced as it instantly turned into many blade after image that completely surrounded his body. Meanwhile, a dazzling sword attack was also fired, causing anyone who saw it to goosebumps.
“Cut Terrible!”
The sword flashed before suddenly returning. With both hands on his sword, the extremely powerful Pure Yuangang energy quickly gathered on the sword, before he slashed down hard!
"About!"
The bright and formidable sword attack was like a ferocious dragon, as it swept out from the tip of the sword, causing the leading Mysterious Ice Sword to instantly flinch. Wherever the sword attack passed by, the ground beneath it split forcefully.
"A very powerful sword attack!"
As they stared at this great attack, some people exclaimed in shock. No ordinary advanced Yuan Dan stage practitioner would dare to take this blow directly.
The sword attack was similar to an angry python, as it quickly grew larger in Lin Dong's eyes. However, unexpectedly, even at this moment, he still did not retreat a single step. Instead, he stretched out his right palm towards the incoming great sword attack. It seemed like he was planning to accept it directly!
"You seek death!"
When he saw this scene, an expression of hatred appeared on Gui Yan's face.
“Swoosh!”
Just as the sword attack was several inches away from hitting Lin Dong's body, the latter suddenly clenched his fists!
"Buzz!"
When Lin Dong gripped his palm, a Mental Energy barrier immediately formed before him. Meanwhile, the sword attack collided violently against the Mental Energy barrier. Although it managed to cause ripples on the barrier, it did not in the least manage to split the Mental Energy barrier!
As they stared at the dazzling sword attack that was unable to make any progress, expressions of confusion appeared in the eyes of the crowd. They had never expected that Gui Yan's formidable attack was so easily deflected by Lin Dong.
Xia Wanjin, Xuan Su, Lin Zhentian and the others were also shocked. Immediately, expressions of excitement appeared on their faces. In less than a month, Lin Dong's Mental Energy had been shown to swell at an extreme level again. No wonder he dared to provoke Gui Yan.
"The practice of Yuan And advanced level number one doesn't seem like much!"
As he stared at the formidable sword attack that was gradually corroded by his Mental Energy barrier, Lin Dong coldly smiled. With a flick of his finger, dozens of Spiritual Needles quickly formed in front of him, before being directed at Gui Yan amidst the sound of piercing through the air.
"Huh, you're talking big!"
When he saw that Lin Dong had easily neutralized his attack, Gui Yan's pupils slightly shrank, as his facial expression finally turned more serious. He could deduce that compared to one month ago, when Lin Dong was fighting Wei Tong, his former strength seemed to have increased again.
The fact that he had reached this stage in Yan City showed that Gui Yan was not the one who would lose because he underestimated his enemy. Even though he was not happy with Lin Dong, in his heart, he remained extremely cautious. Furthermore, this scene now makes it clear that it is very important to remain cautious.
“Buzz buzz!”
A powerful Pure Yuangang Energy gushed out from Gui Yan's body, before they rushed out like a tidal wave and completely dissolved all the incoming Spiritual Needles. Then, his eyes suddenly hardened as he tightly gripped the sword in his right palm before he slightly bent his body. Right now, he was exactly like a leopard that was about to pounce on its prey, filled with the intention to attack.
"Buzz!"
As Gui Yan's toe rubbed against the ground, a deep echo sounded. Then, his body violently stepped forward.
Swish! Swish!
When Gui Yan's body flashed forward, two other images immediately appeared behind him. However, what shocked everyone was that as each image appeared, the flashes gathered on his sword became even more terrifying!
"The Terrible Shadow Knife Three Steps!"
When they saw this scene, the facial expressions of Xuan Su and the others turned serious. This was a typical Gui Yan killing move. It was said that he used this move to kill two advanced Yuan Dan stage experts!
This step is divided into three steps. When the third image after appeared, his attack would reach its peak. Among all the advanced Yuan Dan stage practitioners in Yan City, perhaps no one would dare to accept this move!
“Lin Dong, be careful! He intends to deliver a killing blow! ”
Even without Xuan Su's reminder, Lin Dong could feel a terrifying strength gathering on Gui Yan's sword. Immediately, his eyes flashed, as the tip of his foot touched the ground and his body soared into the air. Jumping onto the Mysterious Ice Sword, waves of Mental Energy were suddenly released from within his pupils.
When that Mental Energy shockwave appeared, it expanded and spread into the air. Meanwhile, like a tidal wave, powerful Mental Energy continued to flow from his Niwan palace!
“Buzz buzz!”
As he continuously injected Mental Energy, those Mental Energy shock waves began to grow rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a wide Mental Energy symbol formation that was several feet long. Inside that formation were some strange symbols. These mystical symbols appeared throughout the formation as they continued to blink.
Qi class Secret Spirit Skills, Manifestation Symbol Array.
Lin Dong finally used the Secret Spirit Skill he obtained from the Symbol Master Tower!
When that symbol formation appeared, an extremely powerful surge of Mental Energy began to spread out. The wave even made Xia Wanjin and Yue Shan a little surprised.
Holy hooch!
When the symbol formation appeared, below, the third shadow of Gui Yan also appeared. As he raised his head in surprise, he looked at Lin Dong wickedly, who was hovering in midair, as his palm suddenly struck the sword hilt.
A dazzling sword shadow appeared, like a beam of light, as the extremely formidable Pure Yuangang energy quickly gathered on it. Then, like a mini storm, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, it tore through the air and flew towards Lin Dong.
"Lin Dong, prepare to die!"
As his long sword slipped out of his hand, a pale living room appeared on his face. Although this attack was extremely powerful, it took a lot of casualties. Despite this, he had absolute confidence in this move. This was because, even an advanced Yuan Dan stage practitioner would not be able to withstand it!
Lin Dong's body floated under the Symbol Manifestation Array. Even though he felt a terrifying attack rapidly approaching him, he chose to slowly close his eyes.
“Buzz buzz!”
As Lin Dong closed his eyes, many unique rays of light were emitted by the Symbol Manifestation Array. These rays of light shot out from within the symbol formation, before they gathered swiftly in front of Lin Dong, like columns of light.
As soon as the column of light was formed, Lin Dong's gently closed eyes suddenly opened. Contained within his eyes was a formidable glint. As he faced Gui Yan's all-out attack, he did not have the slightest intention of retreating. To the surprise of the crowd, he suddenly stretched out his fingers.
"The Symbol Formation of Manifestation, real light!"
