Chapter 24: The First Test (2) (1/2)

*Booom*

”You can run but you can't hide Yang Wei. If that's all you got then I'm going to be really disappointed.” Old Ling said as he swung his sword toward Yang Wei, creating a wave of true qi.

Yang Wei hurriedly raised his sword up to block the strike but as usual, he was knocked back.

Yang Wei crashed into the ground, creating much dust that covered his figure but his coughing could be heard.

Old Ling shakes his head when Yang Wei couldn't handle his strike any longer.

'Seems like my playtime is over with this strike.' Old Ling said inwardly as he prepared to swing his sword again to finish the fight.

Once the dust scattered from the ground, Old Ling was shocked to see Yang Wei was not down on the ground.

”Seems like you really want to play hide n seek with me.” Old Ling laughed as he swung his sword in every direction.

*Boom*

Everywhere was struck with his sword but no reaction came out. Old Ling was confused to know where Yang Wei is hiding to be able to dodge all those strikes.

Since he limited his cultivation to the 4th stage Qi Condensation, he couldn't cheat and use his spiritual sense to detect the ground since it requires a much higher cultivation base.

”Interesting little moves,” Old Ling said as he expected Yang Wei to be hiding underground as he waits for him to pop up.

That was the only scenario where Yang Wei could dodge all of his strikes that will deal a lot of damage to his body.

Otherwise, if Yang Wei tried to use the dust as cover and dodge his strike then he could easily detect that tiny movement.

But there was no change of movement underground which means Yang Wei did not move at all. A pondering expression came from Old Ling as he became cautious in his last bit of tactic to try and get an upper hand.

*Swoosh*

”Over here huh,” Old Ling laughs as he turns around and strikes with all his power.

His sword managed to slice it in halves which caused Old Ling to be surprised since a spiritual treasure would not destroy this easily.

”Not good.” Old Ling exclaimed when he saw the object he sliced in half was just the sheath for Yang Wei's sword.

When he realized he fell for this trick, Yang Wei was behind him using his thirteen sword slash technique in his last bit of effort.

'Heh, you noticed it too late, senior Ling.' Yang Wei sneered in his mind when he caught him off-guard.

”The first slash,” Yang Wei shouted as he swung with all his might in this final slash.

*Swooooosh*

The slash came at Old Ling in a fast manner where true qi is erupting out of it, and once it made contact, the explosive power from it is enough to heavily injure a cultivator.

A powerful aura from the slash was about to hit Old Ling as he became serious when he noticed the danger behind this strike.

”Wind Slashing Style,” Old Ling mumbled something as he waved his sword to block the first slash from Yang Wei.

*Boooooooooom*
