Chapter 1989: Chapter 1986: Fierce Battles One After Another!
Space-Time God’s Eye is the Bloodline Legacy Martial Soul of the Lan Clan, its power speaks for itself.
Blockade Heaven in One Breath is the Martial Soul Secret Skill of the Space-Time God’s Eye. However, Lan Yuxin’s cultivation is insufficient, allowing her only one breath’s time, whereas Lan Ling could manage Blockade Heaven in Nine Breaths.
Brother Harper squinted his eyes slightly and said softly, "Nine breaths of time may mean nothing to an ordinary person, but for a strong one like Lord Lan Ling of that state... nine breaths are enough for him to massacre the entire higher-ups of the East Continent Academy!"
Hiss—
Ren Tingga, hearing the last words of Brother Harper, was frightened to the point of cold sweat streaming down his face.
Ren Tingga, with a trembling voice, said, "Brother Harper, is Lord Lan Ling really that strong?"
Brother Harper chuckled lightly and said, "Is there anyone still doubting Lord Lan Ling’s strength at this point? More than twenty years ago, Lord Lan Ling could reach the level of Blockade Heaven in Nine Breaths, and now, more than twenty years have passed, perhaps he has broken through in his cultivation of the Martial Soul Secret Skill."
"As a ruler of an ancient family in the East Continent Academy and a member of the Order Divine Court of the East Continent Academy, Lord Lan Ling can certainly be considered one of the top strong ones within the East Continent Academy today."
Brother Harper said indifferently.
Ren Tingga nodded with a solemn expression, though Brother Harper was probably unaware that Ren Tingga had always maintained contact with Lan Ling...
...
Inside the Twelfth Island.
Lin Bai climbed out from a large pit, looked up towards the distant Lan Yuxin, who stood in the air like a celestial being, her eyes clear and cold as she gazed at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai’s eyes were slightly chilling; until now, he had not figured out what exactly had happened earlier.
According to Lin Bai’s own calculations, he had drawn Lan Yuxin’s full attention, and the flying swords attacked from behind. Even if Lan Yuxin had three heads and six arms, she couldn’t possibly block this move.
But though the previous move didn’t defeat Lan Yuxin, Lin Bai was not too discouraged; if it didn’t work, he’d just come again.
Lan Yuxin looked at Lin Bai and said calmly, "You are indeed strong; be it in terms of intellect or strength, you are exemplary among the Tianjiao tier in this examination."
"But today you wish to defeat me and pass the Twelfth Island, and it’s still not enough."
Lan Yuxin looked at Lin Bai and said calmly.
"Concede; I don’t want to see you lose face."
Lan Yuxin said calmly after a moment of silence as she gazed at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "What if I insist on passing the Twelfth Island today?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Yuxin’s eyes instantly turned cold and she said, "Then I will... cripple you!"
Lin Bai’s eyes suddenly gleamed with sharp light, and he said coldly, "Then give it a try, and see if you have the capability to cripple me!"
Lan Yuxin coldly stared at Lin Bai; her expression grew even colder, and she snorted coldly, "It seems you truly don’t intend to concede. Very well, I shall assist you!"
"I will fight until you concede!"
Just as Lan Yuxin finished speaking, her figure darted forward like a meteor, fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she was before Lin Bai, her jade palm striking towards Lin Bai like a mountain.
Lin Bai’s eyes flashed brilliantly, enveloped in a chill, forcing him to retreat urgently, yet the power of Lan Yuxin’s palm was extremely strong, striking directly and sending Lin Bai flying!
"Flying swords!"
At the moment Lin Bai retreated, he uttered a light command, and two flying swords on the ground instantly rose, spiritual light flashing, once more violently assaulting Lan Yuxin.
Simultaneously, Lin Bai unleashed his power of Triple Intents without reservation.
"Single-Stroke Sword Skill!"
"Four Gods Sword Slash!"
"Three Feet Qingfeng!"
"One Sword Riding the Wind!"
"Hidden Dragon in the Abyss!"
From Lin Bai’s hands, one sharp Sword Aura after another surged towards Lan Yuxin like waves dashing against the shore.
In an instant, flying swords attacked from behind Lan Yuxin, and several sword skills assaulted from her front, encircling her, plunging Lan Yuxin once again into a predicament.
"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Blockade Heaven in One Breath!"
Lan Yuxin’s beautiful eyes flickered, and the unique Martial Soul Secret Skill of the Lan Clan was once again forged, freezing everything thousands of miles around, halting even Lin Bai and Blackstone Roland Sword Nine, Yin Jiuling, and others in an instant.
In the moment that time and space were frozen, Lan Yuxin blurred past all of Lin Bai’s attacks, striking his chest with a direct palm.
As Lin Bai spat blood and flew backward, time and space resumed.
Yet Lin Bai’s sword technique clashed with his own flying swords.
"What on earth happened? Clearly, my sword techniques and flying swords had created a pincer attack on Lan Yuxin, but in that instant, she actually escaped the encirclement..."
"And even injured me."
Lin Bai lay on the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, incredulously stating.
Lan Yuxin looked at Lin Bai and said calmly, "If I had wanted to kill you just now, you would have died twice over."
Buzzing—
Upon hearing Lan Yuxin’s words, Lin Bai’s thoughts were stirred, just as she said, if she had used a sword instead of her palm just now, she could have pierced Lin Bai’s throat in that instant!
Looking at Lan Yuxin now, Lin Bai said calmly, "To defeat her, I must first unravel her mysterious ability!"
"Is this what Blackstone Roland Sword Nine warned me about? Beware of her Martial Soul."
"Is this her Martial Soul’s ability?"
Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed.
On the sidelines, observing Lin Bai’s hesitation, Blackstone Roland Sword Nine lightly smiled and said to Yin Jiuling beside him, "It seems Lin Bai is almost at his limit too."
Yin Jiuling’s deathly silent eyes flashed, and in a soft voice, he said, "Lan Yuxin’s Martial Soul power is quite fearsome. The Lan Clan, an ancient family with a legacy spanning tens of thousands of years, indeed has some skills."
Blackstone Roland Sword Nine nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing, reminiscing about the destruction battle more than twenty years ago involving the Lan Clan, yet they were not destroyed even in such dire straits.
Yin Jiuling chuckled lightly, "But even now, I still have faith in Lin Bai."
Blackstone Roland Sword Nine was slightly taken aback and laughed, "Oh? You still think Lin Bai will win?"
Yin Jiuling nodded slightly, saying, "This person is cunning as a fox; I have a hunch that if there’s someone he wants to defeat or kill, none will escape!"
"Lan Yuxin won’t be an exception!"
Yin Jiuling said casually.
Blackstone Roland Sword Nine took a deep breath, "I hope so; if Lin Bai can defeat Lan Yuxin, he will become the only warrior to pass the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands in this examination."
"Once he succeeds, he will surely gain the attention of the East Continent Academy."
Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and Yin Jiuling still harbored a sliver of hope for Lin Bai.
On the other hand, strong ones like Brother Harper and Ren Tingga had already discerned that Lin Bai had no chance of defeating Lan Yuxin.
