287: Chapter 287 Mo Wen

"Are you going to continue fighting, or rest?" Lin Heng looked at Su Lianxue and asked. As the winner, she had the choice to fight or not.

"Rest," Su Lianxue said, shaking her head.

She did not want to continue fighting like this.

If it were her former self, she would have agreed without a second thought and certainly would have continued.

But ever since she started spending time with Lin Ming, she found that she had indeed changed a lot.

The choices she made regarding certain things were indeed different from before.

Some things simply were not necessary.

Su Lianxue then stepped off the stage and returned to the crowd.

"Shangji Sect, Lin You." Lin You took the stage.

"Lin You of the Shangji Sect, I request your guidance, Lin Ming of Yuanxu Mountain." Lin You's gaze fell upon Lin Ming.

He finally got to challenge Lin Ming; he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Now that the opportunity had arrived, he naturally did not want to miss it.

And he could not miss it.

He had to win back what he lost that time, and he had to win cleanly.

"Senior Brother Lin You is going to wash away his shame this time," a Disciple said as he watched the scene.

When Lin You was defeated by Lin Ming back then, they had never really believed it.

But that was the reality.

After that defeat, Lin You became increasingly diligent in his cultivation, all for the sake of being able to defeat Lin Ming.

"You want to fight me?" Lin Ming looked at Lin You and said.

"Are you afraid?" Lin You asked in return.

"Don't bother using petty tricks like provocation," Lin Ming said as he slowly walked onto the stage.

This scene indicated that Lin Ming had accepted Lin You's challenge.

Lin Ming actually didn't feel much about this exchange tournament.

To the current Lin Ming, these things were no different from child's play.

The reason Lin Ming accepted Lin You's challenge was because he wanted to see how much this guy, whom he had once defeated, had improved.

Now, how much progress has he made.

"Very well." Seeing this, Lin You nodded.

The battle began.

Lin You launched a fierce offensive right from the start.

Every Move carried immense destructive power, and he had integrated his extreme Yang Qi into his Moves, which significantly boosted his strength.

"Boom..." With one punch, Lin You detonated the Yang Qi in his hand.

Lin Ming directly met the explosive Yang Qi head-on and dissipated it into the world.

Lin You's offensive was relentless.

Lin Ming seemed to have fallen into a defensive state, maintaining a guarded posture against all of Lin You's attacks without making any counterattacks.

This process lasted for over a dozen rounds.

"Is all you can do is dodge? Show me your real skills," Lin You shouted lightly.

These dozen or so rounds were enough for Lin Ming to size up Lin You.

"As you wish," Lin Ming nodded.

The next second, the entire high platform was engulfed in a sea of fire.

This was naturally Lin You's doing.

The scorching flames burned everything on the platform.

However, Lin Ming walked through the sea of fire with a leisurely expression.

These flames were indeed not ordinary, but they were not enough to hurt Lin Ming.

"Converge," Lin You shouted softly.

The flames on the platform seemed to be guided, and they all returned to Lin You's hands.

Lin You directly struck this power into the ground, into the high platform.

At the same time, his own power merged into the ground.

"Boom..." It erupted, just like a small volcano, it erupted directly.

This erupting power once again engulfed Lin Ming.

A Formation was quickly activated, isolating the two's battle.

"Boom..." Two figures were rapidly colliding within it.

But this collision only lasted for a few rounds.

Lin You landed, falling to the ground, with a sword held against his chin.

"You lost," Lin Ming said, looking at Lin You.

This guy had indeed improved, but it still wasn't enough to defeat him.

"I lost," a bitter smile appeared on Lin You's face.

A deep sense of powerlessness; in his battle with Lin Ming, he clearly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Was the distance between him and Lin Ming growing ever wider?

This scene was witnessed by many.

The gazes they cast upon Lin Ming became serious.

Even many who had originally intended to bully Lin Ming instantly abandoned that thought.

Bully? What a joke?

They didn't want to go up there and get beaten.

They had underestimated Lin Ming a bit.

"Not bad," in the crowd, Nie Wen laughed when he saw this, laughing quite brazenly.

"Do you wish to continue?" Lin Heng asked.

"Not for now, Senior," Lin Ming said.

Having just experienced an evenly matched battle, Lin Ming indeed wanted to have a good rest.

Moreover, Lin Ming also noticed some scorching gazes, which were likely ill-intentioned.

He needed to be on guard against such things.

The subsequent battles were between other Disciples of the four sects.

Some people came to challenge Su Lianxue during this time, but they were all defeated by her one by one.

As for Lin Ming, no one came to challenge him for the time being.

"Canghai Sword Pavilion, Mo Wen, I request your guidance, Lin Ming of Yuanxu Mountain."

Someone from the Canghai Sword Pavilion stood out and challenged Lin Ming.

The Canghai Sword Pavilion had the highest number of victories on the first day of this four-sect exchange.

After all, Sword Cultivators were skilled in the way of slaughter.

Lin Ming did not refuse; he returned to the high platform to face Mo Wen.

Fourth-level Sword Intent

At this moment, a Fourth-level Sword Intent manifested from Mo Wen's hand.

It wasn't just Yuanxu Mountain that had a Sword Cultivator Prodigy; they had one in the Canghai Sword Pavilion too.

"Mo Wen, a Disciple of the current Grand Elder of the Canghai Sword Pavilion. He was discovered by this Grand Elder while traveling, and he has shown astonishing talent for the Dao of the sword since childhood," a Yuanxu Mountain Disciple said.

With a flash of sword light, the sword in Mo Wen's hand arrived in front of Lin Ming.

Lin Ming raised his hand slightly and blocked the sword strike.

Fourth-level Sword Intent? It wasn't as if he didn't have it.

The two engaged in a battle over the Dao of the sword.

This made Mo Wen's originally calm expression gradually become excited.

This Lin Ming was no boaster when it came to the Dao of the sword.

That was good.

Sword shadows appeared one after another.

These sword shadows attached themselves to his longsword.

Mo Wen swung his longsword, and these Sword Intents detached from the sword in his hand, attacking Lin Ming.

Lin Ming blocked all these sword shadows, but merely blocking them was far from enough.

"Return," Mo Wen recalled all these sword shadows, reattaching them to his longsword.

Sword radiance. A trace of sword radiance emerged from the sword in his hand.

Immediately after, a trace of killing intent appeared.
