Chapter 160: Floating Light Sword Technique

  "This is..."

  Xia Lin's mind stirred, was this Jian Jia Cheng's sword style?

  This is the first time he has seen a sword style on a strong man other than Ye Jian, and it's indeed true that Jianjia Tiancai is not famous for nothing!

  Such strength is enough to suppress ordinary Qingyun, and it's a great handwriting to build a family.

  It's just a pity that these are enough for others, but for Xia Lin, they are still far from enough! To know that he is strong not only in power and defense, as a cultivator, his speed and reaction are now also third-order third-stage!

  Raising his head for a glance, Xia Lin could clearly see Jian Jia Cheng's sword trajectory and the striking position of the sword shadow.

  With a faint smile, Xia Lin drew his sword and leaped up, unleashing the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.

  The sound of clashing swords rang out, Jian Jia Cheng's sword shadow and Xia Lin's swordsmanship began a comprehensive confrontation, countless sword shadows attacked, but were defended by Xia Lin without a single leak.

  Flowing Cloud Swordsmanship, like water flowing clouds.

  It's just strange that this seemingly gentle Flowing Cloud Sword Technique is now slightly trembling, as if it's not very stable. After being hit by the sword shadow, it's even more shaky and the tremble becomes more severe.

  "Hmph, that's how it is." Jian Ka sneered and his sword aura burst out again, with an even denser attack heading towards Xia Lin.

  He really didn't understand why the lady had instructed him to test the strength of the person in front of him.

  What's the use of having a sudden change in one's fortunes? In the end, it's still because you're too young. Being so young and stepping onto the path to immortality, your accumulation won't be too rich, and the elevation of your realm can't bring about the tempering of your sword dao, it can only be an empty shell.

  "Indeed worthy of being a strong founder. With just a raise of his hand, he is exceptionally overbearing."

  "I've heard that Jian Cheng has killed a Return to Origin Realm cultivator before. I didn't know if it was true or not, but now that I see him, his strength is even stronger than an average Return to Origin Realm cultivator."

  "This young man is really unlucky, running into such a strong player in the first round."

  Many people secretly sighed that Jian Jia Cheng's past was also brought out, apparently, paying attention to the information of the strong is their eternal topic.

  And the most ridiculous thing is that somewhere not far away, a casino was actually opened!

  Before each game starts, the corresponding odds will appear. For ordinary unknown people, most of them are 1:1, after all, this is just a starting test. After the banker has learned some information about the strong players, the odds will change accordingly, such as - the one in front of you now.

  At least one of the top thirty masters. It's rare to meet someone stronger than him, so the odds are frighteningly low, almost a hundred to one, and you need to bet 100 taels to win just two taels. However, for this nearly sure-win situation, everyone is still happy to make some small money.

  Watching Jian Jia Cheng's overwhelming suppression of Xia Lin, everyone couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression. However, before they could rejoice for too long, they discovered that the scene had undergone some changes.

  As Jianjia's attack intensified, Xia Lin also changed his moves accordingly.

  The second move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, the third move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, and the fourth move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique were also successively displayed, which was about to collapse the defense. It stabilized again, and once again pulled the battle situation back into a state of balance.

  "It's the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique! It has actually reached the fourth form!"

  "This young man is quite powerful."

  "Yes, being able to fight alongside Jian Gang to this extent is something to be proud of."

  While many were amazed, they later comforted themselves, as if this could give them some confidence.

  Jian Jia Cheng also showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and he looked at Xia Lin with some astonishment. The fourth move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique was beyond his expectations.

  Being able to grasp the Flowing Cloud Swordsmanship so quickly obviously also has a certain financial backing, although it's not necessarily saying that the swordsmanship level is high, however, it's clearly an absolutely difficult role to deal with.

  It's over.

  Jian Jia Cheng muttered to himself, he didn't like the existence of variables.

  "Hmm——"

  The sword's shadow was scorching hot, and the atmosphere around Jian became increasingly oppressive. Countless sword shadows quivered lightly, and the entire air seemed to vibrate with a humming noise as the sword shadows shook. In the blink of an eye, each sword shadow became extremely terrifying.

  "Heaven, is Floating Light Sword Technique!"

  "What is known as the sharpest of the three sword techniques?"

  "What a powerful force! Just this momentum alone is enough to intimidate people."

  "This time we'll definitely win, ha—"

  Everyone's face showed a joyful expression, but before they could get excited for a few moments, their faces changed again, and the joy and astonishment mixed together became extremely eerie.

  Only to see Xia Lin's long sword in hand, the swordsmanship changed again, and it was actually the fifth, sixth, and seventh styles of the Flowing Cloud Sword! Countless sword lights flashed by, Jian Jia Cheng's seemingly oppressive sword shadow was instantly blocked again, and the battle situation was pulled back to a balanced state.

  “……”

  "It's the Three Forms Flowing Cloud Sword Technique again, so powerful!"

  "The Seventh Style, generally speaking, even a sudden change in Qingyun isn't this strong."

  "Something still feels off after balancing everything."

  Ye Jian's eyebrows furrowed, looking down with a puzzled expression on his face. Until now, he didn't understand what Xia Lin was doing... Logically speaking, with Master's strength, he could have instantly burst out and taken care of this guy directly, why drag it out until now?

  "Huo Qianbei, Shifu he..."

  Translation: "Elder Huo, Master he..."

  Huo Jian smiled and said, "Don't you think that Jian Jia Cheng's swordsmanship style is somewhat similar to your master's?"

  "Hmm, that's what it seems like." Ye Jian looked carefully and indeed, Xia Lin's style was always overbearingly domineering, while Jian Jia Cheng's sword style was extremely sharp. Just from the senses alone, there didn't seem to be much difference.

  "Style is the embryonic form of sword intent, it's relatively vague and hard to define. Only through continuous tempering and refinement, can one finally have the opportunity to transform it into sword intent, making it their sharpest weapon." Huo Jian said calmly.

  "Oh." Ye Jian nodded thoughtfully.

  "It's rare to meet someone with a similar style, I suppose your master is making progress in achieving the true meaning of the sword."

  "Sword Intent."

  Ye Jian's eyes gleamed with light, "Master is indeed formidable."

  Huo Jian nodded with a faint smile, but secretly wiped away cold sweat, his heart full of doubts. Had he already sunk to the point where he had to lie to Xia Lin Yuan?

  What sword style, what sword intent. Those are all endless things. Xia Lin's swordsmanship level is the clearest to him, that is a heavenly pit!

  What can be done now is to take this opportunity to secretly learn Jianjia Cheng's swordsmanship and see if there is a chance to transform Gu Lai.

  The time for natural trials is getting longer and longer...

  However, as the one being stolen from, Jian Jia Cheng was actually quite qualified. Seeing Xia Lin once again bring the battle to a stalemate, he had originally thought that Xia Lin had only managed to achieve a temporary balance through his sudden burst of power, but after another moment passed, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

  "Floating Light Sword Technique, Fifth Form!"

  Splash!

  The sword light around Jian Jia Cheng is getting stronger!

  A white glow seemed to emanate from his entire being, and with one swing of his sword, an arc-shaped sword energy shot towards Xia Lin, like a crescent moon, unstoppable and majestic.

  The majestic momentum of Jian Xiu's swordsmanship unfolded before his eyes. It seemed that a single sword strike could pierce through the Summer Palace!

  "Floating Light Sword Technique Fifth Form?"

  The people on the stage suddenly lit up, as a swordsmanship that can rival the Flowing Cloud Swordsmanship, the status of the Floating Light Swordsmanship is self-evident. The most ruthless swordsmanship among the three products is not in vain, and its difficulty is also extremely high.

  Unlike the Liúyún Jiàn Fǎ's twelve forms, the Fúguāng Jiàn Fǎ has only seven.

  Every formula breakthrough is a major progress.

  With the strength of Jianjia Chengninghai, he was able to practice this third-rate top swordsmanship, and it was already a genius. At this time, he had actually cultivated up to the fifth form!

  This is what makes Jian Jia's people excited, it means that when Jian Jia steps into the Return to Origin Realm, the Jian family will once again have an additional top expert.

  "This kid is not bad. After the Famous Sword Conference ends, focus on cultivating him." Jian Jia's master, Jian Ye, looked at him with a hint of satisfaction on his face.

  "Yes, master of the house." The elder around replied.

  Unlike them, however, the crowd around was not too happy, and their faces were more anxious, "Will Xia Lin explode again?"

  "It shouldn't be, right..."

  "What's supposed to be impossible, aren't you the one who's best at reading others' strength?"

  "Joking aside, can't you see the boundary? Now this situation has completely exceeded my understanding. Look at Jian Jia Cheng, where does he look like a Condensed Sea Boundary? And that young man, I couldn't see through him at all."

  "I have a bad feeling about this."

  Everyone's face showed a worried look, as if they had already seen their own silver flying away with open wings. Sure enough, as the sword energy approached, Xia Lin's body turned and another move was made.

  Flowing Cloud Sword Technique Eighth Form!

  "Boom!"

  Winds rise and clouds gather around.

  Flowing Cloud Sword Technique Ninth Form!

  "Boom!"

  One sword cut off, actually will Jianjia Cheng's sword energy suddenly shattered, the whole person retreated several steps, leaving a shocked look.

  "Ptui——" Jian Jia Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face revealing a hint of shocked and unsettled expression, looking at Xia Lin he asked: "Ninth Form, you? How is that possible?"

  Yes, it's absolutely impossible!

  The Liuyun Swordsmanship is powerful, but it's mainly for cultivating one's own style for exceptionally talented young people.

  After mastering a style, they would discard the Flowing Cloud Sword Art and choose a sword art that suits their own style.

  For example, Jianjia Cheng, Liuyun Swordsmanship, he can also do it!

  However, when he first reached the fifth form, he realized that his style was more suitable for a faster and more agile swordsmanship. Therefore, afterwards, he learned the Floating Light Sword Technique, thoroughly developing his own style and mastering it to the fifth form! His strength became even more formidable, and as a result, he leaped to become the top senior disciple of Jianjia.

  But at this moment, looking at Xia Lin, he felt incredible. The ninth move of the Flowing Cloud Swordsmanship, was it really necessary to continue practicing?

  Is the Ninth Form really that powerful?

  Jian Jia Cheng was somewhat perplexed, apparently he did not know that Xia Lin's Flowing Cloud Swordsmanship had already been changed to a fourth-grade swordsmanship by his barbarian teacher, a difference of one grade, but actually a whole level!

  "I get it!" Jian Kaicheng suddenly burst out laughing, "What about the ninth move? Practicing up to the ninth move means you still haven't grasped your own style, haha."

  "What's the point? You've grasped your own style and increased your power, but in the end, you still lost."

  "Is it?" Jian Ka's face turned cold with a hint of madness in his eyes: "Not necessarily!"
