Chapter 280: Stepping Stones

Lin Yuan took a deep breath. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Her hand suddenly stabilized, she didn't tremble any longer, all the expressions on her face disappeared, and the gentle aura on her body suddenly settled.

At this time, she seems to have changed from a gentle and polite eldest lady of the family to a calm, focused and determined cold-blooded killer.

This change was so abrupt that everyone was stunned.

Lin Yuan didn't care about other people's thoughts, she raised the knife in her hand again, staring at the old man's face tightly, like a hunter looking at his prey, constantly attacking him.

This time, she didn't use the trick of the unity of the knife and the man, and the reason why she was able to successfully hurt him with the knife just now was not only because the unity of the knife and the man was really powerful, but also because of the relationship that he despised.

She was different from ordinary earth-level cultivators, her strength was much stronger than that of cultivators of the same level, and this old man had probably never seen a freak like her, so he was not so careful in his defense.

A master of the eighth layer of the Heavenly Rank, when he encounters a cultivator of the Ground Rank, no matter whether the cultivation of this Ground Rank cultivator is the first or ninth layer, even if it is a powerful move such as the integration of swords and people, the master of the eighth layer of the Heavenly Rank can easily defend.

If he really used all his cultivation to defend against the attack of a ground-level cultivator, then no one would praise him for being cautious, but would laugh at him for being as timid as a mouse, even a ground-level cultivator would be afraid.

Anyone with a lower cultivation level than him attacked him, and if he had to fight back with all his might, no matter how much aura there was in his dantian, it would not be enough.

So when he suddenly encountered a freak like Lin Yuan, it is understandable that the old man was caught off guard and suffered a loss.

But this kind of loss can only be eaten once, and once he has a defense, a move like the unity of the knife and man will no longer hurt him.

Although the combination of knife and man is strong, it is not without weaknesses, and the preparation time for this move is relatively long, as long as her move is interrupted in the early stage when the knife and the person are not fully synchronized, she will definitely be seriously injured.

Ordinary people may not be able to grasp this fleeting opportunity, but for a master of the eighth layer of the Heavenly Rank, it is easy to interrupt her moves.

Lin Yuan attacked the old man, but this time the old man didn't wait for Lin Yuan's knife to attack, so he angrily slapped Lin Yuan with a volley.

This palm used almost one-tenth of the aura in his body, holding the determination to let Lin Yuan die.

It's embarrassing enough to fight with a ground-level junior, and when it is spread out, others will laugh at him for bullying the small, and now he is still injured by her!

This is no longer a shame that can be described, it is almost a shame! If you don't kill this junior in one move, then where will his face be placed?!

At this time, Han Jue's existence had been left far behind by the old man, and in his angry eyes, there was only Lin Yuan alone, forgetting the existence of everyone, even the Cheng family behind him.

The old man's palm had not yet landed on Lin Yuan's body, but the strong power was transmitted to Lin Yuan's body first, her breathing suddenly suffocated, and her footsteps suddenly paused, as if she had suddenly fallen into a quagmire.

The dress on her body seemed to be affected by some strange gravity, and the corners of the skirt fell heavily to the ground, completely outlining the girl's beautiful figure.

If this scene were normal, it would definitely make many people's eyes shine, but now no one pays attention to this, and the onlookers all show expressions of pity and disappointment.

It is rare for someone to dare to confront the Cheng family, although they desperately hope that the Cheng family will fall, they can see how unfavorable the situation is for this beauty.

It's a pity that such a beauty is going to die today......

Seeing that this palm was about to fall on Lin Yuan, even Han Jue was ready to take action to save Lin Yuan, he had already taken a step, and an extremely strong attack was condensed in his hand.

But the next moment, his footsteps stopped, and he retreated to the spot expressionlessly, dissipating the aura in his hand.

I saw that the knife in Lin Yuan's hand suddenly began to swing wildly, and the number of knives in a second was so many that the number of people was uncountable, and the sharp blades cut the air in front of her to pieces.

The power that had always pressed on her body and the air were shattered and messed up by her, and she actually cut a hole for her to enter for the first time!

The gravity of her clothes became normal, and the corners of her skirt swayed with the wind, as if she had suddenly broken free from the mire.

Her footsteps paused for a moment before they returned to normal, and her short body rolled forward in disarray, just past the attack that was about to fall on her head.

The old man's palm fell behind Lin Yuan, narrowly brushing her back and falling to the ground, smashing the corner of her skirt, only an inch short of hurting Lin Yuan.

Although the old man just now felt that it was impossible for Lin Yuan to escape this blow, he did not lose his vigilance and relaxed.

He always remembered the two losses he had suffered on Lin Yuan before, it was enough to make two mistakes to underestimate the enemy, and the third time must not be made again.

When he swung his knife at Lin Yuan, he knew that this blow could not trap her, although he was shocked by Lin Yuan's response, but the old man still reacted very quickly, and slapped a few palms in a row when Lin Yuan was about to get up, blocking all possible routes for Lin Yuan to dodge.

Without a chance to breathe, Lin Yuan jumped up from the ground, and the breath around him suddenly became fierce and manic.

The aura on her body seemed to burn all at once, flowing from her body towards the crystal knife.

The aura of one person and one sword gradually synchronized, which was somewhat similar to the move of the unity of the knife and man, but it was a little different.

When the knife and man are one, she is the knife, and the knife is her, and the two are completely one, without any difference.

But at this time, the aura on the crystal knife became stronger every moment, Lin Yuan's aura became low, her sense of existence suddenly became extremely weak, and everyone's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the knife in her hand.

It wasn't until the aura of the crystal knife climbed to the highest that Lin Yuan swung it out.

At this time, everyone re-sensed the existence of Lin Yuan.

A shining sword bolt came out of the crystal knife and flew towards the old man.

Her expression didn't change, but her feet didn't stop, and she followed closely behind the sword, as if she wanted to rely on this sword to open the way.

In just an instant, the sword quickly met the old man's attack, and then the sword slashed the two palms that stood in front of him like lightning, and attacked the old man's face.

Lin Yuan's blow was very powerful, only slightly weaker than the combination of the knife man, but it was more than a step faster than the speed of the combination of the knife and the man, if this knife fell on the old man completely, he would really have a headache if he wanted to defend it.

But the sword was still weakened a lot when it reached the old man, after all, it split two attacks, and there was some attrition, and the old man was easily stopped.

Although this knife did not work, it at least cut a gap for Lin Yuan to escape, allowing her to get out unharmed.

Lin Yuan's face was not good, although she had a lot of aura in her dantian, but the knife just now still consumed at least one-fifth of the aura in her body.

She controlled the aura to burn wildly, condensing all of it on the blade, doubling the attack power of this knife.

She slashed the sword before she could no longer control the aura riot, and it was only then that the attack power of the knife was increased to such an extent.

But if the aura is burning, there will inevitably be necessary wear and tear, and this trick is good once in a while, but she can't afford it if there are too many times.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's knife was used so superbly, the old man calmed down suddenly, he glanced at Han Jue, who was standing aside with gloomy eyes, and the cold sweat on his forehead fell suddenly.

Fortunately, he didn't kill her just now, otherwise he would not be facing Lin Yuan now, but Han Jue, the evil star.

The old man had concerns in his heart, and his attack became lighter, although the attack was fierce, the killing intent in it weakened a lot.

The speed of his attack was extremely fast, and he hit the idea of consuming Lin Yuan, so that she had no time to fight back but kept consuming the aura on her body.

This move worked very well, Lin Yuan didn't use any more powerful attacks, although he still held the knife in his hand, he never swung it again, but he was embarrassed to dodge under the old man's attack.

After a long time, Lin Yuan's breathing became more and more rapid, and his face gradually turned pale, looking very miserable.

Jiu Yuan's eyes fell on Lin Yuan, but it seemed to be distracted.

At some point, the smile on his face disappeared, and his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Han Jue's expression was even more ugly, as if he was ready to make a move at any time.

Everyone felt that Lin Yuan would not escape death this time, but only the two of them knew it.

Lin Yuan had an easy way to deal with the Heaven Rank masters, and she didn't have to fight so hard at all, but since she chose to fight, there must be a reason for her.

That's why these two, especially Han Jue, can stand aside and watch.

If Lin Yuan really fell into some mortal crisis, not to mention what would happen to Jiu Yuan, it would be absolutely impossible for Han Jue to sit on the sidelines so calmly.

But no one knew this, Lin Yuan's condition looked so miserable, even if she told others that she had a way to easily kill the master of the eighth layer of the Heavenly Rank, others would not believe it, if there was really a way, how could she not use it?

So there are only two of them who really believe that Lin Yuan will win the final victory.

Lin Yuan's breathing became more and more rapid, because of the intense physical exertion, the muscles of her whole body were trembling violently, and it was only with perseverance that she gritted her teeth and continued to dodge the endless attacks.

Her steps became slower and slower, from being unscathed at first, to gradually showing some injuries due to her inability to dodge.

Although the injuries were not serious, they couldn't stand the many wounds, Lin Yuan's dress was almost soaked with blood, and now he could only barely guarantee that he would not hurt himself.

Anyone could see Lin Yuan's difficulty at this time, and the old man's eyes even showed a happy expression.

In fact, not only Lin Yuan's physical strength was exhausted, but the aura in his dantian was also about to bottom out.

At first, he didn't expect that the aura in Lin Yuan's dantian was so abundant and her physical strength was so strong, and it was completely unexpected that she could hold on to him for so long.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw Lin Yuan's movements getting more and more difficult, and it seemed that he might not be able to hold on to fall at any time, he would definitely not have chosen to continue to consume with her.

Don't let it be fun if he consumed Lin Yuan to death, but this little girl who consumed him to death.

He took the time to glance at Han Jue, but found that although his face was ugly, he still had no intention of making a move, and the old man's eyes turned and suddenly moved.

He had never moved his steps before, and he had always stood in place and pressed Lin Yuanda, this was the first time he had moved his steps...... Except for the step back when he was injured by Lin Yuan's soul power before.

The coercion on his body suddenly pressed on Lin Yuan's body, and then with a wave of his hand, he was ready to grab Lin Yuan in his hand.

There is no need to continue to consume, this little girl is already at the end of the crossbow, it is impossible to escape his capture, and if it continues to be consumed, Han Jue may make a move at any time, so now is the best time to make a move.

Lin Yuan's figure was suppressed by the sudden coercion, but her face did not show panic, but raised her face and smiled at the old man.

Although there are many wounds on her body, her face is still as clean as porcelain, if you don't look at her body, just look at her face, except that her face is a little paler, and you can't even see any difference from before.

That gentle and polite feeling suddenly returned to her, and she gave people the feeling that she had changed from a cold-blooded killer to the eldest lady of the family, but a chill suddenly rose in the old man's heart.

At this time, no matter what he thought about it, he had an overwhelming advantage, but Lin Yuan's smile still made him have a bad premonition in his heart.

The old man's eyes flickered, and even an irrepressible urge to run away rose.

He hesitated between reaching out to grab Lin Yuan and turning around to run away, but finally he was firm and ready to catch Lin Yuan.

He didn't believe that this little girl had any powerful hole cards that had not been opened, and if there were any hole cards, why didn't he use them in the first place?

She must be bluffing, trying to scare him off with An Yuan's signature expression!

If he hadn't seen An Yuan fall into the sea of misery with his own eyes, maybe he would really be scared by her.

Just when the old man's thin hand was about to land on Lin Yuan's collar, one hand suddenly pinched his hand tightly, like a pliers, and he couldn't break free with all his strength.

"Thank you...... Help me break through. ”

Like a ghost, a soft sigh sounded in the old man's ears, and the old man looked up in shock, only to find that Lin Yuan's eyes had softened, and the smile on the corner of her lips was like the warmest sunshine in spring.

A basin of ice water was poured from head to foot, and the blood on the old man's face disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly noticed something.

The aura on her body suddenly rose a lot, as if she had broken through some kind of restriction, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yuan, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Heavenly Steps!" the old man screamed, "You actually broke through the Heavenly Steps!"

The moment he found that the aura on Lin Yuan's body had skyrocketed, the old man understood everything.

Lin Yuan broke through to the Heavenly Rank in a moment just now.

This slut is using him as a stepping stone!
