Chapter Eighty-Nine: The More You Fight, the Braver You Become
Ruan Jingtong was full of anger towards Lin Xu, his eyes stared at Lin Xu, and the true qi in his body poured out, covering the surface of his body, putting on a posture that did not hesitate to die with Lin Xu. He held the long sword in his hand, shouted, and ran towards Lin Xu.
"Lin Xu, I'm going to kill you!" Ruan Jingtong shouted almost madly.
"Hehe, killing people depends on strength, and it's useless for you to shout louder. Lin Xuan said with a sneer, very calmly fighting with Ruan Jingtong at close range.
Ruan Jingtong is, after all, a swordsman who has reached the realm of sword spirit, and being able to be favored by Sun Yonglei and become the captain of the Sun Family Guard is indeed a bit of a real skill. Otherwise, he would not have been able to fool Sun Yonglei, who was also a high-level swordsman.
Ruan Jingtong's sword moves were very fierce, several times stronger than those assassins that Lin Xu had dealt with before. This made Lin Xuan secretly happy in his heart, feeling that this time he finally met an opponent with a similar point, at least he could fight for a while, and he would not get a result in one or two rounds like before.
The current Lin Xuan is not in a hurry, and he doesn't even want to end the battle with Ruan Jingtong so soon. He wanted to use a powerful swordsman like Ruan Jingtong to practice his skills and see if he could help him break through the sword spirit realm. In his opinion, it is very rare and suitable for an experimental subject like Ruan Jingtong to send to his door.
In this way, Lin Xu was able to cultivate his strength while fighting with Ruan Jingtong, which was really a double win.
Ruan Jingtong's sword moves continued, all of which were aimed at the vital points on Lin Xu's body. It can be seen how irritable and anxious he is in his heart, it seems that he really wants to stab Lin Xuan to death with a sword.
But he didn't have such a powerful ability, and his strength was far from the level of killing Lin Xuan with a single sword. Every time he stabbed out a sword, it was very skillfully dissolved by Lin Xu.
In order to kill Ruan Jingtong's arrogance, Lin Xuan also seized the opportunity and left a few marks on him at the right time, stabbing him in the arm and shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xu and Ruan Jingtong had been fighting for more than ten rounds. Ruan Jingtong was covered with colors, bleeding constantly, but Lin Xuan was still unscathed.
"Wow!"
Ruan Jingtong kept screaming in his mouth. He endured the severe pain of the wound on his body, coupled with his anxiety and fear, so he desperately waved the long sword in his hand at Lin Xu.
After fighting fiercely for a long time, Lin Xuan couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw that Ruan Jingtong was still able to hold on to a desperate state. Because he thought that when Ruan Jingtong used the thunder flash before, he should have completely consumed the true qi in his body, and he should not have eased up so quickly.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Jingtong's current state is not what Lin Xu thinks. With only the remaining three taels of true qi, he was able to fight Lin Xuan for so long. It seems that his sword spirit realm is indeed very cultivated to the point where he can behave so strongly.
"You're stubborn, but you're still going to die. Lin Xuan said coldly. He was fighting with Ruan Jingtong and talking at the same time, which showed that he coped with it easily and was particularly confident.
Lin Xu's expression became colder and colder, and his eyes became more and more fierce. The sword in his hand danced faster and faster. At this time, he had already fully activated the internal strength and true qi of his whole body, and the dantian had already boiled high, and it could burst out at any time.
Lin Xuan was about to start launching a real attack on Ruan Jingtong. The powerful true qi in his body was rolling out like a surging tide, turning into a bright blue sword light in the direction of the sword in his hand, and shooting away.
After such a long period of fierce fighting, Ruan Jingtong, whose internal strength was already slightly inferior, had already shown an obvious tired appearance. Now under Lin Xu's fierce attack, he was even more flustered and embarrassed.
At this moment, Ruan Jingtong finally understood that he was not Lin Xu's opponent at all. This time it seems that it is really impossible to escape. Just like what Lin Xu said just now, the person who died was not Lin Xu, but himself.
Ruan Jingtong seemed to be beginning to smell death. His heart was filled with deep remorse. Knowing that Sun Yonglei wanted to assassinate Lin Xu, the target of his assassination, was so strong, he shouldn't have agreed to take on this task, and boasted that Haikou would definitely succeed and take Lin Xu's head. Now it seems that his own head cannot be saved.
The last thing Ruan Jingtong could think of was to dodge Lin Xu's frontal attack as much as possible, save the last trace of strength, and patiently wait for Lin Xu's offensive to weaken before making a final counterattack.
Lin Xuan is now obviously in a state of sufficient true qi and brave offensive, and Ruan Jingtong only has the ability to parry, and has no power to counterattack at all. He had nothing to do but endure pain and wait patiently for his chance.
Obviously, Ruan Jingtong's idea is very good. He really thought that Lin Xuan would start to be able to show bravery in one go, as people said, and after a long time, he would immediately fail. But Lin Xuan made him feel disappointed, even despairing.
Because Lin Xuan became more and more courageous, and his attacks on Ruan Jingtong became more and more fierce and ferocious, there was no sign of weakening at all, let alone becoming exhausted.
Qin Ranyi watched from the side and couldn't help but feel worried about Ruan Jingtong. Although he and Ruan Jingtong are at odds, they often have conflicts, and he even wishes that Ruan Jingtong would die as soon as possible, but he can still clearly realize that he and Ruan Jingtong are actually on the same front, and they are also facing a common opponent, Lin Xu.
If Lin Xuan killed Ruan Jingtong, then the next target would naturally be Qin Ranyi. Qin Ranyi would not have thought of this. He was about to take action to help Ruan Jingtong deal with Lin Xu, but he suddenly found that Lin Xuan and Ruan Jingtong were fighting very fiercely, and it was not easy for him to intervene in it, if he was not careful, he might even hurt Ruan Jingtong, cheapen Lin Xu, and play the opposite role.
Therefore, Qin Ranyi really felt very entangled now, and he didn't know what to do, but he was in a hurry on the periphery, and he couldn't find a chance to attack Lin Xu.
Ruan Jingtong saw that Lin Xu's offensive was not only not weakened at all, but also became more aggressive. He couldn't help but be secretly strange in his heart, secretly wondering if Lin Xuan was a non-human steel body, never tired?
If that's true, it's terrifying. It was also very bad for Ruan Jingtong. That had almost already sentenced him to death, and there was never a possibility of fighting back against Lin Xu. The more Ruan Jingtong thought about it, the more he became more and more frightened, and he couldn't help but show a more and more frightened look in the face of Lin Xu.
Blue light began to appear on Lin Xu's body, and the energy gathered more and more. Because he is an ice attribute, the temperature around him has dropped a lot in an instant, making people feel cold and biting like a cold winter. Ruan Jingtong was already shivering from the cold qi released by Lin Xu's body, and he tried his best to repay his luck, but he couldn't resist the invasion of this powerful cold qi.
Immediately, Ruan Jingtong seemed to react suddenly, and thought to himself: "It's over, I seem to have been used." This kid is using me to cultivate, so as to break through the realm and get upgraded. It's so bad, how did I meet such a crazy person who is rare in a thousand years?"
In fact, Ruan Jingtong can now see that Lin Xuan is a genius of cultivation, not a madman. He just wouldn't admit it easily. But in any case, he could no longer change such an objective fact.
As a swordsman, Ruan Jingtong could already see that Lin Xuan had broken through to a new realm. This is a good thing for Lin Xu, but it is obviously a terrible bad thing for him.
Ruan Jingtong was really bitter inside. He originally wanted to wait until Lin Xuqi had stopped before counterattacking, but now that he was looking at the situation, he obviously wouldn't have such a good opportunity. If he wanted to get the last shred of life, then he had to immediately use the little strength he had to deal with Lin Xu's fierce attack. Otherwise he would have died faster and more miserably.
"This kid is too perverted, and he can use others to improve his strength when he fights. I came across this kind of monster that only exists in legends. I can't let him get his way. Otherwise, once he is promoted, my end will surely come. Ruan Jingtong had already secretly made up his mind, so while dodging Lin Xu's attack, he quickly took out the Yuan Qi Pill from his spatial cloth bag to take it.
He didn't have a chance to count the number of pills at all, so he could only grab a handful and send it to his mouth, just hoping to be able to use this last high-grade pill to turn defeat into victory.
After Ruan Jingtong took a large amount of Yuan Qi Pill, he suddenly felt a warm air flow throughout his body, as if he was resurrected with full blood, he no longer felt so tired, and the True Qi in his body, which had been almost exhausted, began to slowly recover. He couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face, feeling that this was a good phenomenon, and he had finally found a glimmer of life.
"If Lin Xuan dares to break through the Sword Spirit Realm at this time, then I must do whatever it takes to cause damage to him, make him go mad, and become a real madman. Ruan Jingtong had a vicious thought in his heart.
Ruan Jingtong was injured in the arm, and the red blood had flowed down his arm to his sword, making his sword turn red.
Immediately, he let out a loud cry and poured all the true qi he had just recovered into the sword, and suddenly a layer of white light appeared, which reflected with the red blood on the sword, which was particularly eye-catching.
As Ruan Jingtong poured more and more true qi into the sword, the white light became brighter and brighter, and it looked very dazzling, even Lin Xuan had to squint his eyes, trying to avoid his gaze from contacting the white light, so as not to affect his line of sight.
Ruan Jingtong was actually desperate and decided to use thunder and lightning to deal with Lin Xu. In fact, according to his current state, even if he can really use this to bombard Lin Xu, he himself will be seriously injured, and he may even die if he can't support it, and the danger factor is indeed very great.
