Chapter 200: The End Of The Test (1/2)

Duan Ke looked on at Lin Mu with slight apprehension in her eyes. For a moment there she had thought that it was her grandfather standing in front of her and not Lin Mu. The aura that had appeared on Lin Mu was now completely different from before.

It was as if she was seeing her grandfather back in his peak, ready to fight against a thousand enemies.

”What is he doing?…” Duan Ke whispered to herself.

Lin Mu looked at Duan Ke with a sharp gaze and it felt as if hundred of blades were dancing at this moment within it. Duan Ke finally felt the effect, her gaze went dull. The severing heart sutra was working.

'Now!' Lin Mu shouted in his heart as he threw his short sword forward.

Jing Wei too was astounded by this change and wondered what had just happened to Lin Mu.

”This change in demeanor… Is he starting to develop sword intent?” Jing Wei muttered to himself as he kept on looking, not wanting to miss a single moment.

Lin Mu's short sword kept flying toward Duan Ke and was now very close. Duan Ke felt as if she was in a daze and could not respond for a moment. She could see the short sword flying towards her but could not respond.

'That's it, just a little more…' Lin Mu thought.

Just when the short sword was about to pierce Duan Ke's shoulder,

~Clang~

Sparks flew as her spirit sword came forward to block it.

Duan Ke returned to her normal self at that moment and looked at the short sword in front of her with fear in her eyes.

”How did he… or what did he do?” She muttered to herself.

But this only lasted an instant as she quickly regained her poise. Anger appeared on her face as flames danced within her eyes.

Duan Ke was finally angry, angry that she was close to being defeated by someone that was an entire cultivation realm below her.

'Dammit!' She cursed internally while gritting her teeth.

A wave of air spread out from her as spirit qi in the hall swirled around her.

Duan Ke took hold of her spirit sword that was still blocking Lin Mu's short sword and forcefully hurled it away. She moved at a lightning speed, and her legs could only be seen as a blur. She appeared next to Lin Mu in the next second and slashed at him.

Lin Mu was currently unarmed and did not have his short sword as it had been hurled to the other side of the hall.

He was surpassed at Duan Ke's speed but did not lose his composure. Just as her spirit sword was about to cut him, he withdrew the large tower shield he had in his ring. Lin Mu had not used it for a while, and the last time was back when he defended Hei Wan and Hei Bao against the assassin's bolts.

~Dang~
