Chapter 41
On the other side, Lin Guangyao was amazed. Sure enough, Lin Xuanzhong could take four steps, although he was caught off guard by Lin Xuanzhong's counterattack, but at this time Lin Guangyao still looked calm. Thinking that Lin Xuanzhong was able to defeat Lin Qianmu before, Lin Guangyao had no surprises in his heart.
Then, with the attack forces of both sides remaining equal, Lin Xuanzhong's round of counteroffensive directly changed the situation. Onlookers could see that Lin Guangyao kept dodging and retreating, obviously Lin Xuanzhong had put too much pressure on Lin Guangyao.
The mood of those family masters was indescribable at the moment, and after Lin Xuanzhong took four steps in a row, they fully realized that Lin Xuanzhong was even stronger than what they had seen before. And being able to take four steps also means that Lin Xuanzhong's future will surpass all of them in the future.
"This son can't be kept", Li Nianchen, who had always looked calm, flashed a trace of imperceptible killing intent in his eyes. Immediately afterwards, the same was true of the Wu family and the head of the Zhou family. As for the other family heads, some people have begun to curry favor with Lin Canghai when they see this, in their opinion, with Lin Xuanzhong, in the next few decades, the Lin family can firmly sit in the position of the first family in the hidden city.
The words of congratulations came into his ears, even Lin Canghai had a smile on his face, but it was a pity that Lin Canghai couldn't be happy when he thought of another thing he learned from Lin Xuanzhong earlier.
After Lin Xuanzhong showed his current strength, the news of the three alliances in Lin Canghai's heart was undoubtedly confirmed. If the Lin family can't survive tonight, then everything will be no surprise. It's a pity that for Lin Canghai, he can only take one step at a time.
Time passed little by little, and the fight between the two on the field became more and more intense.
In terms of the attainments of the Eight Desolation Steps, Lin Guangyao is not bad. Three steps out, although it failed to turn the situation back, but it is no longer suppressed everywhere as just now.
After a short handover, there was a sound of weapons colliding, and Lin Xuanzhong took four steps out, and directly attacked Lin Guangyao's chest when Lin Guangyao finished taking three steps. Lin Guangyao had no choice but to quickly put away his sword to block, and with a swing of his long sword, he shook the sword body that Lin Xuanzhong was slashing diagonally.
At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong seemed to have expected it, moved two steps in succession, and suddenly appeared on Lin Guangyao's left side, grabbed Lin Guangyao's defensive corner and stabbed it with a sword.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xuanzhong deliberately let himself sell a flaw, Lin Guangyao was suddenly shocked, and then his body ghostly retreated to the right back, which was able to avoid Lin Xuanzhong's blow. However, Lin Xuanzhong, who had only taken two steps, did not give up, and continued to approach Lin Guangyao in two consecutive steps. The onlookers could see that the two were moving in almost the same direction, and the long sword in Lin Xuanzhong's hand was getting closer and closer to Lin Guangyao.
Immediately after that, when the sword body was less than an inch away from Lin Guangyao, many onlookers couldn't help but get nervous. As a result, Lin Guangyao had already used the long sword in his hand to provoke Lin Xuanzhong's attack. As a last resort, Lin Xuanzhong could only stop, and then prepared to attack again.
I have to say that although there are no mistakes every time, Lin Xuanzhong finds that he is still one step away from defeating Lin Guangyao. It was useless to have the upper hand now, because Lin Guangyao could always block or dodge his own attacks.
Under the condition that Lin Guangyao has never changed his swordsmanship, Lin Xuanzhong is already completely familiar with the characteristics of Lin Guangyao's moves, so for a long time, the comparison between the two is not fighting spirit, not swordsmanship, but their respective attainments in the Eight Desolation Steps. After just a few rounds, both sides have understood that maintaining the status quo will only end in a draw, and that one of them will have to come up with a stronger move if they want to win or lose.
At the moment, there was no other way available, and in the absence of any possibility of victory, Lin Xuanzhong planned to use the last of the fighting energy in his body to try to take five steps in a row. The biggest difference between the five steps and the four steps is that the five steps can be close and backward, and the range of advance and retreat is three steps away. Compared with the five steps, the four steps are different, and there are limitations to the advance and retreat.
After continuous running-in just now, in the use of the Eight Desolation Steps, Lin Xuanzhong has reached the level of casual use. Now trying to take five steps in a row, Lin Xuanzhong can really do it, and as a result, the original competition situation immediately changed.
Lin Xuanzhong, who has taken five steps, has two chances to attack each time, or can double his attack speed at a time. With a huge advantage, even if Lin Guangyao was calm against the enemy, he still couldn't see through Lin Xuanzhong's movements, if he didn't dodge with all his strength, Lin Guangyao would have been covered in injuries at this time. In just a few breaths, Lin Guangyao was already cornered.
When he was surprised in his heart, Lin Guangyao didn't have any calmness on his face, and he thought with a shocked face that he was now facing two Douqi fifth-order powerhouses who could take three steps. As an outstanding descendant of the Lin family, Lin Guangyao knows very well the horror of once he takes eight desolation steps to five steps. I didn't expect Lin Xuanzhong to be able to do it, even if he always felt that his qualifications were acceptable, Lin Guangyao had a feeling of being ashamed at this time. However, Lin Guangyao did not plan to give up, because Lin Guangyao had not yet exhausted his strength, although he could only barely take four steps, Lin Guangyao had to give it a try.
On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong had already fully felt how big the advantage of the fifth step of the Eight Desolation Steps was, not to mention coming and going freely, he simply controlled his opponent's every move in the palm of his hand. Lin Guangyao had always been strong in Lin Xuanzhong's heart before, but now Lin Xuanzhong always had a feeling that he could defeat his opponent at any time. It's just that having said that, Lin Xuanzhong was just as reluctant to take five steps, so when Lin Guangyao took four steps in a row, although Lin Xuanzhong still felt that victory was in his hands, he still couldn't defeat his opponent in one fell swoop.
The two people on the stage were so focused on the competition that they couldn't pay attention to the situation outside. Because the two are dressed differently, now the two of them appear in the eyes of everyone only two shadows of different colors.
Lin Feng and Wan'er calmed down from the excitement just now, and now they couldn't lock on to Lin Xuanzhong's specific location with their naked eyes, and the same was true for Bai Qinglan on the side, they could only see a cyan blue shadow constantly moving on the stage, and the speed was unimaginably fast.
Like the three of them, many low-level martial cultivators were no longer able to see the two of them clearly. For the children of the Lin family, Lin Xuanzhong's performance at this time was more than beyond their imagination, it was completely different.
For outsiders, after seeing the horror of the Lin family's peerless learning, the awe of Lin Xuanzhong was indescribable. Now whether it is a genius like Li Shuo or a genius like Lin You, they all understand at this moment that the future ghost city will be Lin Xuanzhong's world.
While they were shocked by Lin Xuanzhong one by one, those family heads and VIPs were also shocked. Before, they were already surprised that Lin Xuanzhong had the strength of the fifth order of Dou Qi, but now after seeing that Lin Xuanzhong could still learn the Lin family's peerless knowledge to such an extent, there was only shock in their eyes.
Because the Eight Desolation Steps were so terrifying, except for the patriarchs of the four major families and some VIPs, everyone else's awe of the Lin family increased a little at this time. It is conceivable that if Lin Xuanzhong is allowed to grow up, he will definitely be able to unify the entire ghost city in the future.
The matter of the three alliances conspiring to eradicate the Lin family before, because they felt that it was nine out of ten, they did not contact the people of the other families privately. Now that the Lin family has produced a genius like Lin Xuanzhong, some middle families who are attached to the three major families have to think about the future now, maybe they should choose to stand on the side of the Lin family in the future.
"The head of the Lin family has really cultivated a good seedling, and Hongyu congratulates the Lin family on behalf of the black market. It turned out to be the person in charge of the black market who had been silent, and the person in charge of the black market, who had always been high, was famous in front of Lin Canghai at this moment, so you can imagine what attitude the person in charge of the black market is at the moment.
Lin Canghai on the side hadn't recovered from the shock yet, because of the disturbance of Hongyu's voice, he suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly felt that he was a little out of shape, and responded with an embarrassed smile, "Thank you Mrs. Hongyu for your compliment." ”
The other heads of families and VIPs on the side saw that the person in charge of the black market politely congratulated the Lin family on coming, and they hurriedly followed one by one, and for a while, Lin Canghai's surroundings were very lively. Lin Canghai, who had just recovered from the shock, almost didn't know how to respond in the face of everyone's congratulations. Fortunately, Lin Canghai is a person who has lived most of his life after all, and after his heart calms down a little, he still copes with a smile. Unconsciously, because of Lin Xuanzhong's relationship, the Lin family is already expected.
When the heads of the family and the distinguished guests congratulated the Lin family, only the patriarchs of the three major families had ugly and abnormal faces at this time, although they also congratulated them on the surface, but the three of them really felt indescribable in their hearts, and even Li Nianchen, who had always been able to control everything, could not remain calm at the moment. Lin Xuanzhong's appearance was completely an accident, an accident that affected the three alliances.
Seeing that those middle-class family heads kept congratulating Lin Canghai, Li Nianchen's eyes flashed fiercely, and he was murderous, but he was quickly suppressed again.
"If the Lin family is not removed, the old man will not be able to sleep and eat. Thinking so in his heart, Li Nianchen had already made up his mind to eradicate the Lin family as soon as possible.
Compared with Li Nianchen, the mood of the other two family heads was not much better, although they tried their best to hide the dissatisfaction in their eyes, the Wu family head was obviously a little restless on his face, and the eyes of the Zhou family master, who had always been calm, were also drifting away, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
However, it is not surprising in the eyes of outsiders, after all, they are also the four major families, and the reputation of the Lin family now far exceeds theirs, and it is normal for the three family heads to have abnormal behavior at this moment.
Although Lin Canghai on the side also noticed the different colors on the faces of the three family heads, as long as he thought that everything was because of Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Canghai didn't think much about it. No matter what, Lin Canghai would not feel that because of Lin Xuanzhong, the three alliances would change their original plans, so the Lin family would evacuate tonight, and the sooner they left the ghost city, the better.
