Chapter 42 (2/2)

The best way was to be strong and overbearing so that victory against his opponent would be achieved in a single strike!

“Such an arrogant claim, try me!” Lin Duanjian mocked.

Even if Lin Han’s Quick Draw Sword was amazing, Lin Duanjian did not believe that a newly-accomplished Outer Residence disciple could achieve much in the way of swordsmanship.

“This Lin Han is out of his mind! Duanjian has been learning the way of the sword since he was nine and he started comprehending sword techniques at seventeen. His swordsmanship is profound and mysterious yet this Lin Han claims that he’ll defeat him in a single strike! That’s absolutely ridiculous!”

Atop the high viewing platform, the face of an old man with white eyebrows shifted into one of rage as soon as he heard Lin Han’s claim of defeating Lin Duanjian with a single strike.

“This Lin Han doesn’t seem like a liar,” said the residence master suddenly. He watched Lin Han’s overbearing demeanor and he laughed lightly, as if something had occurred to him, “It seems there’s a possibility your disciple just might be defeated in this survival arena.”

The old man with white eyebrows was a Consecrator of the Lin Clan Sect Residence’s upper levels and he was halfway to becoming a Martial Grandmaster.

If Lin Duanjian were to be defeated here, he would naturally be ashamed as well.

Therefore, he was extremely furious at Lin Han’s ‘lies’.

In the survival arena.

At this time, Lin Han slowly closed his eyes.

What?

Lin Han was actually closing his eyes when facing Lin Duanjian’s erratic yet murderous pitch-black sword Qi?

What was he trying to do now?

Even Lin Duanjian was stunned.

However, his eyes gleamed murderously the next moment and the pitch-black longsword in his grasp instantly pierced the air with dozens of strikes, effectively blocking all of Lin Han’s escape routes.

“Hahaha, you’re dead meat now, boy!” It was like Lin Duanjian could already see the bloody scene of Lin Han being chopped into pieces.

However, Lin Duanjian and everyone watching did not know that the moment Lin Han had closed his eyes, a spirit-like eyeball, cold and lonely, had ascended from the crown of his head. Like an eye of the heavens, it had stared intently at Lin Duanjian.

At this moment, all of Lin Duanjian’s movements, including his body techniques and the trajectories of his longsword, were all taken in by this Spirit Master Heavenly Eye, which was quickly analyzing and dissecting everything it saw.

The skill Spirit Master Heavenly Eye printed into the first page of the ‘Soul Divine Book’ allowed Lin Han to see all martial techniques and skills clearly.

“Hum”

Suddenly, Lin Han opened his eyes and his gaze locked onto the gap in Lin Duanjian’s strange swordsmanship.

Although it was tiny, Spirit Master Heavenly Eye still managed to analyze it instantly.

“Killing Sword Art!

“Sky Splitting Form!”

At this moment, Lin Han’s rusty longsword whistled as it pierced forwards.

Ding!

A shrill sword-light instantly split Lin Duanjian’s ever-changing shroud of sword Qi before it the center of Lin Duanjian’s eyebrows.

“Pfft”

His face, stretched by horror, had been instantly split into two by the rusty longsword in Lin Han’s grip.

Splat!

Blood splattered everywhere as the body fell onto the ground of the survival arena.

This entire moment had seemed to stretch on forever.

However, it happened in the blink of an eye for the audience.

All they saw was Lin Han closing his eyes for one moment before opening them the next. Then, his rusty longsword had split the air, breaking through Lin Duanjian’s sword Qi shroud, and pierced through his head, killing Lin Duanjian instantly.

“What?!”

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded with shock.

The noise of people sucking in their breaths echoed all around.

It did not matter if they were Outer Residence disciples, Inner Residence disciples, or the Sect Residence bosses sitting atop the high platform, all were stunned.

Lin Han actually killed Lin Duanjian with a single strike? Entirely cutting him off from life?

What a terrifying strike!

Such powerful observational ability!

Such ruthless wisdom!

At this moment, everyone looked towards Lin Han, who still seemed very calm, and felt chills run down their spines.

“Impudent! You actually killed my disciple publically during the Martial Arts Tea Party, you’ll pay with your life!”

Suddenly, a furious voice roared from the high platform.

An old figure’s eyes were glowing with rage. He smashed an open palm downwards and a shapeless Qi field immediately enveloped Lin Han, who was still in the survival arena.

Boom!

It pushed down onto Lin Han’s body like an invisible mountain.

It was heavy and suffocating!

“The Qi field of a Martial Grandmaster! No, it’s slightly weaker, he’s halfway to being a Martial Grandmaster!”

In an instant, Lin Han’s expression shifted as the fear for his life grew in his heart.
