47: Chapter 47 The Master's Threat

"I can't beat Junior Brother Fang," Yu Yaoqin said straightforwardly.

The help she spoke of was to intercept the Disciples she could handle; as for Fang Jinchen, he naturally fell outside that scope.

Because she couldn't beat him.

For someone she couldn't beat, she would just let Senior Brother handle it himself.

Senior Brother would surely understand.

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue was slightly speechless.

However, thinking about the time she had spent with Yu Yaoqin these past few days, it seemed this was indeed in line with Yu Yaoqin's style.

"Let's go, Junior Sister, we should rest too."

As she spoke, Yu Yaoqin took the initiative to take Su Lianxue's hand and pulled her away.

And so, the night passed without incident.

As the morning sun rose, Lin Ming opened his eyes slightly. He turned his head to look, only to see Fang Jinchen still sitting on the ground, not having moved at all.

Clearly, he had been sitting there all night.

And it wasn't just Fang Jinchen; Lin Ming also sensed that quite a few people were still hiding nearby, though not as many as the previous night.

Were these Sword Cultivators really so persistent?

Perhaps sensing Lin Ming's gaze, Fang Jinchen opened his eyes. He looked at Lin Ming with a firm gaze.

After waiting all night, his desire to challenge Lin Ming had not changed in the slightest.

"Senior Brother, have you rested well?" Fang Jinchen asked.

"With so many Disciples in the entire Yuanxu Mountain, why must you challenge me?" Lin Ming sighed and asked him.

Why did he have to set his sights on him at home?

He was merely a small Cultivator in the Spirit Platform Realm; this cultivation level was nothing special on Yuanxu Mountain, and at most, he had just comprehended Sword Intent.

Besides, it was just Sword Intent; there should be quite a few Disciples on Hidden Sword Peak who had comprehended it.

"Please, Senior Brother, offer your guidance." Fang Jinchen continued.

Should he accept his challenge and then deliberately lose? This thought sprouted in Lin Ming's heart.

"Win against him, or don't bother coming back to Zichen Peak." Just as Lin Ming was about to accept the challenge and lose on purpose, Revered Master's voice rang in his ears.

Good grief, playing voyeur, are we? The posture of "Breakthrough" hadn't even finished, and he was already spying on his own Disciple?

"Come on then." Lin Ming looked at Fang Jinchen and said helplessly.

If he really lost to him, his cheap Revered Master would truly make him get out of Zichen Peak.

As the Senior Brother of Zichen Peak, Lin Ming didn't want to sneak back to Zichen Peak in the future.

It seemed he had no choice but to fight this battle. And he had no choice but to win.

"Senior Brother, where shall we spar?" Fang Jinchen asked.

"Right here will do." Lin Ming looked around. He couldn't be bothered to go to a specialized sparring ground; since there was an open space right here, he might as well finish the fight here.

"Very well." Fang Jinchen had no requirements; as long as Lin Ming accepted his challenge, that was enough.

He immediately stepped back a few paces, putting some distance between himself and Lin Ming.

"It's starting." Yu Yaoqin walked out of the house at this moment. She happened to hear Lin Ming accept Fang Jinchen's challenge.

She was somewhat surprised; she had assumed Senior Brother would find all sorts of excuses to decline, but she hadn't expected him to actually accept Fang Jinchen's challenge.

Su Lianxue walked up from behind Yu Yaoqin, her gaze falling on Lin Ming. Besides that, the Disciples hiding nearby also cast their gazes upon the two.

They knew that with Fang Jinchen's persistent nature, he would certainly achieve his goal. After all, quite a few of them had been tormented by Fang Jinchen in this manner.

"Hidden Sword Peak Disciple, Fang Jinchen, please offer your guidance, Senior Brother." Fang Jinchen drew the long sword at his waist and said to Lin Ming.

"Zichen Peak, Lin Ming." Lin Ming also took out his sword and nodded slightly.

After the two stared at each other for a few seconds, Fang Jinchen made the first move.

A burst of flames covered the long sword in his hand, and he slashed toward Lin Ming. In a single stride, Fang Jinchen was right in front of Lin Ming.

Lin Ming casually raised his hand and blocked Fang Jinchen's strike.

Fang Jinchen quickly launched his next round of attacks, the flaming Sword Qi extending from his sword engulfing him.

Seeing this, Lin Ming stepped back, raised his sword, and slashed down, shattering all those streaks of flaming Sword Qi.

Following the flaming Sword Qi, Fang Jinchen charged at Lin Ming with a fierce offensive.

"Senior Brother seems quite relaxed, doesn't he?" Yu Yaoqin said as she watched the scene. Why did it feel like Lin Ming was handling Fang Jinchen with such ease?

This reminded her of how Senior Brother looked when sparring with her; it was exactly the same.

Su Lianxue was not surprised at all; given Lin Ming's strength, dealing with a Spirit Platform Realm Sword Cultivator was a trivial matter.

Even if the strength Lin Ming was displaying was only at the Spirit Platform Realm, it was still the case.

In her view, Lin Ming could clearly have ended this battle quickly, yet he had dragged it out until now, creating an illusion of an evenly matched fight.

"Stinky Senior Brother, you aren't actually going to win, are you?" Yu Yaoqin said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

If Senior Brother really won, wouldn't that mean he had been holding back every time he sparred with her in the past? This was something Yu Yaoqin found hard to accept.

But on the other hand, Yu Yaoqin did hope that Lin Ming would win this match. For a moment, Yu Yaoqin felt a bit conflicted.

On the field, Fang Jinchen's offensive became increasingly fierce, his Sword Qi sweeping across. Every strike carried an extremely strong intent to attack, with no so-called defense whatsoever.

But Fang Jinchen noticed that every one of his attacks was invisibly neutralized by Lin Ming. As expected, this Senior Brother's strength was extraordinary.

This made Fang Jinchen even more excited, and his Battle Intent grew increasingly vigorous.

Sword Intent. On the next strike, his Sword Intent erupted from the sword in his hand. The flames wrapped around the Sword Intent and slashed toward Lin Ming.

Second Level of Sword Intent? Lin Ming immediately sensed that Fang Jinchen's Sword Intent was unusual; it had actually reached the Second Level of Sword Intent.

From the battle just now, to the Second Level of Sword Intent he was currently displaying, it was clear that this kid was considered a Genius on Hidden Sword Peak.

It seemed he had to show a little something himself. Otherwise, with the Spirit Platform Realm strength he was currently displaying, it would be a little difficult to take down Fang Jinchen.

He had to show a little something appropriately. Thinking of this, Lin Ming raised the sword in his hand.

The next second, the feeling Lin Ming gave off changed; he no longer felt as lazy as before, but instead carried a hint of seriousness. Especially the sword in his hand.

"Triple Sword Intent."
