Chapter 128: Melee and Ranged Attacks
Seeing the result of Lin Xu and Zheng Bujun's two fists colliding, Zhao Chenjie had to secretly admit in his heart that he had indeed underestimated Lin Xu's strength just now.
Li Shiwei also had a surprised expression on his face, and even opened his mouth wide involuntarily, which was completely stunned. He had known Zheng Bujun for much longer than Lin Xu, and of course he knew very well what Zheng Bujun's skills were.
Just now, Li Shiwei was also worried that when Lin Xu faced Zheng Bujun, he might suffer because of his young combat experience, and he had to help at a critical moment. But now it seems that Lin Xu can defeat Zheng Bujun with his own strength, and he doesn't need to interfere too much.
And Li Shiwei also knows the depth of his skills. If he went into battle to deal with the punch that Zheng Bujun just made, then he could only barely follow at most, and he would not be able to obviously gain the upper hand like Lin Xu and grasp the initiative on the field.
Zhao Chenjie was particularly surprised by Lin Xu's courage and cultivation level. According to common sense, the two people he brought were monks who were much stronger than the outer disciples, plus himself, his strength was obviously stronger than Lin Xuan and Li Shiwei, Lin Xuan should feel timid.
But now that Zhao Chenjie saw Lin Xu, he looked extremely calm, where was he a little afraid? This kind of courage is not something that ordinary young people like Lin Xuan have. Lin Xu is either a genius or a ghost, and he will definitely not be an ordinary person.
As for Lin Xu's cultivation level, even if Zhao Chenjie can't be completely sure, he can see a rough idea. He is a sword spirit himself, and he is also one step away from the sword soul, and his vision is naturally much older than Zheng Bujun and the other young man he brought.
Judging from Lin Xu's moves and momentum just now, Zhao Chenjie could be sure that his cultivation was on par with his own. That is, at least above the sword spirit.
But the reason he wasn't sure was that it was so strange and strange. Because generally speaking, if Lin Xuan really has the strength above the sword qi realm, he doesn't need to be a peripheral disciple in the Thousand Ice Sword Sect at all, he can go to other sects to find an official position, or submit an assessment application to the inner gate of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, and after passing, he can be promoted to an inner disciple.
But Lin Xuan is still on the periphery, staying in the medicine valley to grow medicinal herbs, which really makes Zhao Chenjie feel very incomprehensible and incredible. He could only touch Lin Xuan with a villain mentality, and felt that Lin Xuan must have ulterior motives.
Zheng Bujun took a few breaths of urgency, barely calmed down the churning in his body, and suppressed the burning anger in his heart. A look of horror appeared on his face, which had just looked confident.
His eyes widened, staring directly at Lin Xu, and he said fiercely and gloomily: "Boy, I can't see that you really have two hits." But if you meet me today, you're doomed!"
Don't look at Zheng Bujun still talking so hard, as if he can get back in the second round even if he loses in the first round. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that this time he was facing a young man who was deeply hidden, what terrifying strength Lin Xuan still hid, he really had no bottom at all, so he could only gamble.
After all, the two have already fought each other, and Zheng Bujun has no way out. Otherwise, if he admits defeat to a young man, he will definitely be ridiculed by others, and he will not be able to mix in the Thousand Ice Sword Sect in the future.
Through the short but fierce confrontation between the two just now, it is obviously impossible for Zheng Bujun to defeat Lin Xuan quickly. On the surface, he didn't reveal it, but in his heart he had to secretly put away all his contempt and contempt for Lin Xu, and treat the contest with Lin Xuan very seriously and seriously.
"Bastard thing, if you want to fight, hurry up and do it, what's the use of talking such nonsense?" Lin Xuan scolded Zheng Bujun impatiently.
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xu couldn't wait to make the first move. This time, he still didn't need to use his sword, and directly hit Zheng Bujun's head with his fist. He really hated Zheng Bujun, a despicable villain who had blackened a lot of gold coins for Li Shiwei with usury in the past, and now he brought people to find trouble for himself and wanted to seize the pill, and he really hated him to death, and he wished he could be killed with one punch.
Therefore, this punch Lin Xuan has used more than seventy percent of his strength. If Zheng Bujun's head was really hit by his punch, then Zheng Bujun's head would have to bloom.
As Lin Xu's fist quickly came to Zheng Bujun, Zheng Bujun's eyes couldn't help but be full of horror, and he didn't dare to be careless at all, so he hurriedly dodged and swung his fist to meet Lin Xu's heavy punch.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The sound of fists colliding sounded one after another. It didn't take long for Lin Xu and Zheng Bujun to punch dozens of times in a row. The positions of the two of them are also constantly changing, going back and forth, almost as if they are entangled, and fighting in close quarters.
Zheng Bujun's face had become very pale and bloodless. He wasn't just frightened, he seemed to smell a little bit of death. He really didn't know if he could persevere, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death by Lin Xu and lose his life.
Zheng Bujun opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't even make a sound, only gasping for breath. If he couldn't breathe well, then he would be even more unable to use the true qi in his body to fight against Lin Xu.
Obviously, Zheng Bujun still can't take advantage of the two in this fight. In his heart, he secretly hoped that Zhao Chenjie would act quickly, help him solve his difficulties, and save his life.
At the same time, Zheng Bujun's tenacity also greatly surprised Lin Xu. He didn't expect Zheng Bujun to insist on fighting him for so many rounds. It seems that he wants to win in a short period of time, but it will not be easy.
After all, Zheng Bujun's age is much older than Lin Xu. Now both sides are not using swords, but only fighting with their fists in close quarters, in fact, they can't give full play to Lin Xu's strength. Otherwise, once the sword is drawn, Lin Xuan can directly kill a low-level monk like Zheng Bujun within a few moves.
Although Lin Xu's face was still very ruddy, almost as usual, not as pale as Zheng Bujun at all, but he was also hit by Zheng Bujun several times on his body, forming a countershock, and he only felt that the qi and blood in his body were surging, and there was some pain.
However, in the battle just now, Zheng Bujun still received more fists, and Lin Xu was hit by him many fewer times. Since Lin Xuan was in pain, it was needless to say that Zheng Bujun was in pain. He couldn't even hold back his tears, he couldn't hold on anymore.
Zheng Bujun saw that he was fighting Lin Xu in close quarters like this, and he couldn't take advantage of it at all, and he was beaten by Lin Xu so that he had almost no power to fight back. He had to change his strategy and decided to use another method to deal with Lin Xu.
After Zheng Bujun secretly calculated it in his heart, he saw the opportunity, suddenly took the initiative to retreat, and jumped backwards with a big step, so that Lin Xu's punch could not hit his body. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he retreated one after another, and saw that the distance between himself and Lin Xuan was finally more than two zhang away, so he stood up and stopped retreating.
"Hmph, you run, where do you think you can escape?" Lin Xuan sneered and mocked Zheng Buyi.
But Zheng Bujun didn't have the heart to pay attention to Lin Xu's sarcasm now. He just wanted to defeat Lin Xu, so he didn't hesitate to use various methods.
After Zheng Bujun stood firm at a distance of two zhang from Lin Xu, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately bent his knees, his body sank, and his hands were clenched into fists together, breathing his luck, and concentrating all the true qi of his body into two fists.
Suddenly, Zheng Bujun first punched Lin Xu's volley, only to see that a purple aura immediately formed in front of his fist, flying towards Lin Xuan at an extremely fast speed. If Lin Xuan was hit by this aura of his, he would definitely be injured and bleeding.
At this moment, Lin Xuan finally understood. Zheng Bujun, a cunning fox, saw that he could not win in close combat, so he changed to a long-range attack. Lin Xuan couldn't help but sneer, confident that he already had a way to deal with it.
Lin Xu's eyes were staring at the purple aura emitted by Zheng Bujun, and after quickly shaking his hands that were a little numb during the melee just now, he used his true qi to fuse into a cold dark blue vitality ice ball, and flew towards Zheng Bujun's aura.
The vitality ice ball released by Lin Xuan instantly made the surrounding air cold. It's just that the people on the side are all cultivators, and although their skills are of different depths, they can still withstand this kind of cold. They were all now focused on the confrontation between Lin Xuan and Zheng Bujun, almost ignoring this change in the surrounding environment.
The vitality ice ball emitted by Lin Xuan was the size of a human head, and the qi emitted by Zheng Bujun just now was only the size of a fist, and the contrast between the two was very obvious, and even the difference was too big to be proportional.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Bujun was already secretly shocked. He didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately shot out with another fist, and let out another aura. He thought that in this way, his two qi rays one after the other, even if they couldn't hit Lin Xu's body, they would be able to resist Lin Xu's vitality ice ball.
And when Li Shiwei saw this scene, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He felt that Lin Xuan didn't have to worry about himself at all, and it was more than enough to deal with Zheng Bujun, so it was not a problem. The question is just whether Lin Xuan wants Zheng Bujun to die.
If Lin Xuan really decided to kill Zheng Bujun today, then Zheng Bujun would definitely not live tomorrow. It can be said that Zheng Bujun's life is completely in Lin Xu's hands.
Lin Xu's vitality ice ball finally collided with Zheng Bujun's first qi shot in the air. I saw that the Yuan Qi Ice Ball completely shattered the purple qi, causing the qi to disappear without a trace in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Bujun's second aura also arrived. As a result, it was also like the first qi ray, which was smashed by Lin Xu's Yuan Qi Ice Ball, and completely lost its lethality.
However, the Genki Ice Ball had almost no damage, but its speed had become a little slower, and it was no longer as fast as lightning as it had just been.
