Chapter 157: Stalemate
Judging from Lin Xu's technique of shooting down the flying knife just now, Luo Chengsong already knew that this young man's strength was indeed against the sky, far stronger than the skills of many middle-aged monks. If he looked at Lin Xuan with a superficial gaze, then he would lose even more, and even lose his life.
After Lin Xuan broke Luo Chengsong's flying knife, there was no threat for the time being. He slowly walked towards Luo Chengsong. At the same time, he still maintained a high level of vigilance and did not relax at all.
Because he didn't know if Luo Chengsong could use other skills to attack him in addition to the talisman. The so-called preparedness, Lin Xuan is careful, take precautions in advance, and there will be no mistakes.
Luo Chengsong, who was hiding in the transparent light mask, saw Lin Xuan approaching him step by step, and was about to come to the front, his face couldn't help but show a look full of horror, and even his eyes revealed a trace of despair, and his heart was obviously extremely frightened.
He was really afraid that after Lin Xuan came over, he directly killed him with a sword. After all, the young man is young and vigorous, he ridiculed Lin Xu like that just now, and Lin Xuan was angry, but he would really do anything.
Just when Luo Chengsong was nervous, Lin Xuan had already walked over, less than a foot away from the cyan shield that covered Luo Chengsong.
Lin Xuan seemed to stop cautiously, stared at Luo Chengsong and observed carefully, and saw that even though Luo Chengsong was hiding in the cyan shield, he looked sincerely frightened, so he relieved himself. At least he can be sure that Luo Chengsong will definitely not be able to pose a threat to himself in this situation, and it is impossible to fight back against him.
In Lin Xu's view, Luo Chengsong is just a wild boar waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for his disposal. So he no longer had any scruples, and stepped forward boldly with confidence, raised the blue ice sword in his hand, and slashed straight towards the transparent cyan shield.
"Dang!"
With a loud bang, Lin Xuan slashed hard, and the cyan shield didn't show any signs of breaking, but only shook slightly.
On the contrary, Lin Xuan was shocked by a shock force coming from the cyan shield and retreated straight, his body shook, and he stumbled a few times in succession, almost falling down. Fortunately, Lin Xuan reacted quickly, was agile, and had a strong ability to adapt to such unexpected situations.
He didn't force a hard encounter with this anti-shock force, but took a few steps back to counteract this anti-shock force, and then stabbed the blue ice sword to the ground in front of him, and finally stabilized his body with the help of the blue ice sword firmly nailed to the ground, and did not fall. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
Lin Xuan originally thought that after piercing the cyan shield with a sword, he could directly attack Luo Chengsong and completely defeat this hateful Taoist priest. But now it seems that he is still thinking a little simple and naïve. At least the cyan shield in front of him now was not so easy to break.
Luo Chengsong saw that Lin Xuan couldn't break through the cyan shield on his body, and his face, which was already full of fear, showed a smug look again. He looked at Lin Xu, who had withdrawn after being shaken with some schadenfreude, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if he had concluded that Lin Xuan would not be able to break his shield and would not hurt him.
Of course, Lin Xuan would not give up easily, and he was not even a little discouraged, after pulling the sword out of the ground, he walked quickly to Luo Chengsong's cyan shield again, raised the blue ice sword and continued to slash this cyan shield one after another.
Of course, Lin Xuan was now ready to resist the shock force coming from the shield, and he would not be pushed back by the shock like he had just now. He stood with his legs bent and stride, his feet as if they were nailed to the ground, neither backwards nor falling.
"Dangdang!"
Under Lin Xu's successive blows, a crisp and loud sound kept coming from the cyan shield. But no matter how many swords Lin Xuan slashed out, the cyan shield was still intact, and it was not broken at all.
This means that Lin Xu's fierce attacks were all in vain, not to mention smashing this shield, he didn't even make a crack in the shield. And he himself was tired and sweaty, and panting.
Seeing this, Luo Chengsong thought that Lin Xu's skill would end here, and he really couldn't break his shield. He was completely relieved, and even the little fear that was left just now disappeared without a trace.
For a while, Luo Chengsong got carried away, forgot his catties and taels, laughed loudly and ridiculed Lin Xu, and said: "Hehe, boy, you know how good I am, right? This shield of mine is not an ordinary shield, even if you use your strength to eat, don't want to break it." ”
"If it weren't for this shield, you would have been stabbed to death by my sword. Lin Xuan scolded Luo Chengsong loudly.
Lin Xu also wanted to use the agitation method to provoke Luo Chengsong, but Luo Chengsong's face was very thick, no matter how Lin Xuan scolded, he would not leave the cyan shield.
Luo Chengsong also knew in his heart that he only had this cyan shield as the last barrier, and if he left this shield, he would not be able to defeat Lin Xu, and he would definitely lose. And as long as he stays in the shield, Lin Xuan can't break the shield, and he can't hurt him, so the referee on the field has to rule that the two of them are tied. The result of this match between the two was a draw.
A clear draw is the better option than a losing result. Luo Chengsong has secretly started this wishful thinking in his heart.
Lin Xuan is so smart. He could see at a glance that Luo Chengsong must have wanted to use this trick to delay in order to get a draw. This was something he couldn't accept. He can obviously win against Luo Chengsong, but he has to win.
"Luo Chengsong, if there is a kind, you hurry up and come out and have a good time with Lao Tzu. Lin Xuan shouted loudly to Luo Chengsong inside the shield.
"What? You let me out? You're so naïve. I'm sitting in the shroud, comfortable and cool, what's the reason to go out? If I do, I'm going to be the first fool in the world. Luo Chengsong ignored Lin Xu's scolding and stimulation, and still sat firmly in the shield, with no intention of coming out at all.
If one plan fails, Lin Xu can only use another plan. He raised the Xuantie talisman in his hand and said to Luo Chengsong: "This sword talisman was originally yours, if you come out, then I will return it to you." Otherwise, I'm going to take it for myself, and you'll never want to take it back. If you use a throwing knife like that just now, you won't want to use it again. ”
It worked. As soon as Luo Chengsong heard Lin Xu's words, his eyes immediately lit up, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face, obviously very eager to retrieve the Xuantie talisman that Lin Xuan had taken away, but he didn't dare to believe Lin Xu's words, so he blurted out and asked, "Boy, do you mean it really?"
"Of course it's true! I'm not like that, I like to deceive people. When Lin Xu replied to Luo Chengsong, he also scolded Luo Chengsong as a liar, but there were no dirty words in his words, even if he scolded, Luo Chengsong was now only thinking about the Xuantie talisman, and he couldn't hear it at all.
However, Luo Chengsong still didn't believe Lin Xu. He shook his head and said inside the cyan shield, "I don't believe the young man's words. You must want to wait for me to go out, and then seize the opportunity to attack me, I will definitely not fall for you. ”
As he spoke, Luo Chengsong stretched his legs and changed to a more comfortable position to sit in the shield, obviously still not wanting to come out.
"I really don't lie to you!" Lin Xuan was a little angry, and said loudly to Luo Chengsong: "You think about it with your brain, I don't know the charm, even if I have this talisman, it won't come in handy." Then I might as well give it back to you. ”
"You're saying a very nice thing, but I still won't believe you. Luo Chengsong's attitude is still suspicious of Lin Xu's protection, and he has not changed at all.
"Or I can swear to God, what I just said is all true, do you believe it or not?" Lin Xuan felt very impatient, but he had to continue to ask Luo Chengsong.
"If you don't believe it, I just don't believe it. Luo Chengsong still shook his head and replied to Lin Xu.
At this moment, Luo Chengsong didn't leave the shield no matter what, and Lin Xuan suddenly felt helpless. He didn't know how many times he had scolded Luo Chengsong, a hateful Taoist, in his heart, and his face was full of angry expressions, looking at Luo Chengsong's two eyes like sharp swords, and he couldn't wait to kill the Taoist priest in front of him immediately, so he would have a lot less trouble.
Lin Xu clearly knew that if he couldn't break the shield, defeat Luo Chengsong, and continue to stalemate like this, the final result would be a draw that he didn't want to see and couldn't accept. He has to figure out how to break the deadlock as soon as possible if he is to have a chance of winning.
Lin Xuan no longer spoke to Luo Chengsong. Because he knew that if he continued to talk, it would be impossible to tell Luo Chengsong. He might as well use the time to focus more on thinking about how to break through the cyan shield. That would give him a better chance of winning.
Since he couldn't split this cyan shield with the Blue Ice Sword, Lin Xuan put the sword away and tried it directly with his fists and palms. He used ten thousand palms, and sent out several palms one after another, almost consuming half of his true qi, but he still couldn't shake this shield, let alone break it.
Wan Mian's palm was useless, so Lin Xuan had to stop, so as not to waste his precious true qi and spiritual power again.
Despite the successive setbacks, there was almost no way to break this seemingly thin and light transparent shield, and Lin Xuan did not think of giving up easily. He was indeed unwilling, and he didn't believe that he couldn't help even a small shield.
At this moment, Lin Xuan even regretted that when he first met Luo Chengsong in the grove that day, he didn't kill this Taoist priest with a sword. If Luo Chengsong had been killed earlier, he would have become much easier today.
