Chapter 255 – Survive An Attack Of Mine! (1/2)
This sudden and unexpected event caused Lin Xiuran to be slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered from his shock. After that, he twisted his wrist, and then numerous sword lights sprayed out from the black iron sword and instantly minced Hao Ming’s energy palms into powder. However, right at this moment, Hao Ming had suddenly and shockingly appeared at Lin Xiuran’s right. After that, a dagger that was suffused with a ghastly and cold glow whistled sharply through the air as it swiped towards Lin Xiuran’s neck!
Lin Xiuran frowned slightly. He suddenly swept the black iron sword towards Hao Ming, and it was even slightly swifter than Hao Ming’s dagger!
Because Lin Xiuran’s attack was much faster than his own, Hao Ming had no choice but to stop his attack and move the dagger downwards to block Lin Xiuran’s sword!
Clang!
A clear and melodious clang resounded from the collision between the dagger and sword while sparks shot towards the surroundings!
Right when Lin Xiuran intended to launch another attack, Hao Ming exerted slight force with his dagger and relied on the counterforce from the collision to flip backward. After he descended to the ground, he cupped his fists towards Lin Xiuran and smiled as he said, “Brother Xiuran’s strength is amazing. I admit defeat!”
When he heard Hao Ming, Lin Xiuran glanced deeply at Hao Ming. Lin Xiuran’s intuition told him that this smiling fellow before him, Hao Ming, hadn’t utilized his full strength. Of course, even if Hao Ming revealed his full strength, Lin Xiuran didn’t fear it at all. He was just filled with wonder about why Hao Ming had suddenly admitted defeat!
On the other hand, while Lin Xiuran was puzzled, Hao Ming had walked off the arena.
Hao Ming’s admission of defeat wasn’t like Wenren Yue’s, and it didn’t cause the crowd to discuss it animatedly while feeling puzzled. They’d never had any expectations of him, so when he admitted defeat now, they took it as him really being unable to rival Lin Xiuran. After all, Lin Xiuran had comprehended 2nd level Sword Intent!
Along with Hao Ming’s admission of defeat, the top 4 had been selected! They were the Origin School’s Yuan Tong, the Snow Palace’s Leng Xinran, the Sword Sect’s Yang Ye, and Lin Xiuran. At this point, the battles would grow more and more intense. Because not a single one of the top 4 were weaklings, and Yuan Tong’s legend of defeating his opponents with one hit would probably be stopped here!
As they gazed at Yang Ye and Lin Xiuran who stood on the arena, countless people sighed endlessly with emotion. When had anyone imagined that Yang Ye and this unknown fellow, Lin Xiuran, would actually be able to fight their way into the top 4 of the Ascension Ranking? Of course, it surprised them even more that both Yang Ye and Lin Xiuran had comprehended Sword Intent. Moreover, both of them weren’t just at the 1st level of Sword Intent!
At this moment, the more Yu Heng gazed at Yang Ye, the more pleasing to the eye he was. No matter what he thought of Yang Ye, Yang Ye was very pleasing to his eye at this moment! Why? Because Yang Ye had fought his way into the top 4. So long as Yang Ye survived, then the Sword Sect would be able to change the embarra.s.sing state it was in right now, and it was exactly because of this that he felt Yang Ye was extremely pleasing to the eye right now.
Of course, as for the situation that Yang Ye would be in after the Ascension Rankings came to an end, he’d never thought of it….
Li Si appeared on the arena, and then he lightly nodded as he gazed at Yang Ye and the others. After that, he said, “Congratulations on entering the top 4. According to the rules of the Ascension Rankings, the profounder amongst the top 4 with the worst record during the compet.i.tion can choose his or her opponent!”
When he spoke up to here, Li Si gazed at Lin Xiuran. Yang Ye, Yuan Tong, and Leng Xinran had never lost a battle while only Lin Xiuran had experienced a draw with Qin Youran. In other words, he had the worst record….
Lin Xiuran’s expression instantly became slightly unsightly. Of course, he didn’t dare to give Li Si a dirty look because he wasn’t audacious to such an extent!
Lin Xiuran grunted coldly, and then his gaze stopped on Yuan Tong for a moment before he glanced at Leng Xiuran. In the end, his gaze descended onto Yang Ye, and then it didn’t move away anymore.
When he saw this, Li Si nodded slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, Leng Xinran and Yuan Tong instantly vanished from the arena.
“Lin Xiuran against the Sword Sect’s Yang Ye!” Li Si’s voice resounded on the arena after he left.
When she saw Lin Xiuran choose Yang Ye, Su Qings.h.i.+’s beautiful brows had knit together while Yu Heng who stood by her side had frowned as well. No matter what, Yang Ye was representing the Sword Sect right now. So, if Lin Xiuran killed Yang Ye, then it would be bad news for the Sword Sect!
Of course, if Yang Ye killed Lin Xiuran, then it would be worst. Even though it was impossible….
In short, Lin Xiuran’s actions had caused Yu Heng who originally had a good impression of him to feel slightly displeased. Yu Heng said in his heart, This Lin Xiuran really fails to consider the interests of the Sword Sect!At this moment, Qing Yun’zi revealed a mocking expression. Since the very beginning, he’d guessed that Lin Xiuran was related to the Sword Sect. Now, when he noticed Yu Heng and Su Qings.h.i.+’s expressions, he was even more certain that Lin Xiuran was definitely a member of the Sword Sect. Yet now, a disciple of the Sword Sect was going against the Sword Sect. Moreover, based on Lin Xiuran’s appearance, it didn’t seem to be a normal battle as well….
On the arena, Lin Xiuran gazed at Yang Ye with a cold smile on his face. He said, “I never expected that we would be able to decide on a victor so quickly!”
