Chapter 160: Fighting Xu Wen Yang
“Originally I was thinking about finding a chance to finish you off. I wouldn’t have thought you would send yourself up to my door. Could it be that you’re already trying to die?” Xu Wen Yang spoke neither quickly nor slowly. Obviously he was taking it easy. He had enough stock to take it easy. His stock was his strength.
“Surnamed Xu, I hadn’t thought you were such a gutless coward. If you have guts, come at me. What ability is attacking women?” Lu Xuan spoke sarcastically.
Being looked down on by Lu Xuan as a coward, Xu Wen Yang’s face flashed with anger, but it quickly calmed down again. Coldly smiling, he said: “Coward or not, it’s not your word that matters. So what if I act against women? Not only am I going to go on your woman, in a while, I’m going to seize you and cripple your limbs, leaving only your eyes, and let you closely watch me go on your woman right in front of you. Only this way can I resolve my heart’s hatred!”
(TN: I feel like XWY is the definition of a petty villain. It’s not just in Sword Spirit, but I wish Xianxia authors could make villains feel a bit more epic. Some manage to do so, but usually these villains kinda come off half-hearted and a dime-a-dozen. Nothing makes them stand out. Nothing makes you think, dang, now that’s a real villain. Most “villains” are just pretentious thugs.)
“Now that I’ve come, you think you’ll still have a chance?” Lu Xuan said. Seeing that Lin Xin Yi was fine, he was no longer as angry as before. Xu Wen Yang absolutely was a formidable adversary. While angered, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to slip-up and be defeated.
Hearing this, Xu Wen Yang wildly laughed: “Hahaha! With just you? What do you count as? And you dare to quarrel with me. Today, this blade faction residence will be your burial ground! Long Tian died at your hands. Killing fellow disciples cannot be forgiven. Even if I kill you, no one will punish me. Perhaps you still hope that surnamed Jin will be able to protect you? But that’s very wrong. I’ve heard the news that he’s not in the Wind Sword Sect right now. In a short period of time, he definitely won’t be back. So you will definitely die without question!”
Xu Wen Yang wasn’t in a rush to act and leisurely talked. He wanted to crush all of Lu Xuan’s hopes. If he could see Lu Xuan’s panicked appearance, that would make him very happy.
But unfortunately, Lu Xuan didn’t give him what he wanted. Although the news that Vice Sect Master Jin wasn’t in the sect was surprising, at the start he hadn’t placed his hopes on anyone else. Xu Wen Yang’s words naturally couldn’t panic him.
“I’m afraid I’ve disappointed you. I not only killed Long Tian, as I came over, I also killed five blade faction disciples, however, that’s not all. Because net up, I’m going to have another death by my hands. This dog’s life is your, Xu Wen Yang’s, dog life!”
“Shameless boasting. A mere body refining sixth level dares to clamor in front of me. In the entire inner sect, no one dares to be arrogant in front of me! My life’s right here, if you have the ability, come and take it! I want to see if I’m going to waste you first or if you’ll kill me first!” As Xu Wen Yang said this, he charged forward, leading with his attack.
He didn’t want to drag it on in case something unexpected happened. First kill Lu Xuan then consider other things so as to avoid a long night fraught with dreams. Even if Lu Xuan’s talent was higher than his, so what? Once Lu Xuan was dead and Xu Wen Yang still lived, the sect naturally know how to act.
This was Lu Xuan’s first time seeing Xu Wen Yang’s strength. Up till now, he only knew that Xu Wen Yang was the overall standing’s first place, but he had never seen exactly how strong.
This blade stroke was extremely fast, extremely dazzling, extremely strong!
Xu Wen Yang’s strength had reached body refining eighth level, fully surpassing Lu Xuan by two small realms, and the weapon he wielded was even a treasure grade weapon, something Lu Xuan’s Lovesick sword couldn’t compare to.
With such an enormous difference, Lu Xuan simply didn’t dare to directly clash with Xu Wen Yang’s attack, otherwise, Lu Xuan’s long sword would be broken in half by him.
The blade had not yet reached when a tremendous blade qi had already driven over. With Lu Xuan’s strength, naturally it was easy to avoid, but since Lin Xin Yi was behind him, in order to defend her from harm, Lu Xuan could only choose to fight recklessly.
A powerful qi aura burst out from Lu Xuan’s body. Although his strength was less than Xu Wen Yang’s, and his weapon was far inferior, he had an advantage on somewhere Xu Wen Yang completely lacked. Sword intent!
When sword intent came out, Lu Xuan’s entire person’s qi aura changed, immediately forming an extremely sharp long sword. With heart comprehending sword, with sword condensing heart. In this moment, Lu Xuan already fused into one with his sword. All of his yuan force poured into the Lovesick sord. His sword swept out!
That tremendous blade qi was split in half in the blink of an eye by Lu Xuan’s sword!
Although his attack wasn’t as powerful as Xu Wen Yang’s, that didn’t mean he couldn’t match it in sharpness. When sword intent came out, nothing could stand against it.
In the first round, both sides were about even. It could even be said that Lu Xuan had a slight advantage, after all, he had sent out last and arrived first, and had even successfully broken Xu Wen Yang’s attack.
After Lu Xuan had released this attack, Xu Wen Yang’s face stiffened. He glared at Lu Xuan: “You indeed comprehended sword intent. No wonder you could instantly kill Long Tian. But because of this, you can’t be left alive even more.”
Lu Xuan’s talent already caused Xu Wen Yang to feel an extremely strong pressure. If Lu Xuan was allowed to continue growing, surpassing him was just a matter of time. The hatred between the two had already been built up and there was no way to resolve it. Right now, if Lu Xuan didn’t die, the one who would die was him.
“Who’s leaving who alive? That’s still undetermined! Today, if I don’t kill you, then I, Lu Xuan, am not a human!” As soon as he said this, Lu Xuan proactively released an attack. Raising some yuan force, Rushing Thunder Flash circulated, and moved to Xu Wen Yang’s side and thrust out his sword again. Sword intent once again bursting out!
Small success stage sword intent accompanied Lu Xuan’s sword stroke like a tide, flooding towards Xu Wen Yang, completely enveloping him! This time, the sword intent Lu Xuan used wasn’t the kind he used against Lin Tian. Although Lin Tian had similarly been enveloped by Lu Xuan’s sword intent, Lu Xuan hadn’t fully pressed with it and had only released the sword intent for Lin Tian to perceive. This time, his sword intent’s effused an incomparably sharp attack force. If one’s strength wasn’t enough to resist it, just this sword intent alone could instantly kill him.
It was the first time Lu Xuan had seen Xu Wen Yang take action but wasn’t this the first time Xu Wen Yang faced such a powerful sword intent?
Last time during the great sect competition, he had fought with Mo Xiao Chen. At that time, Mo Xiao Chen’s spear intent had only been entry level and was very shallow. How could it compare to Lu Xuan’s proper sword intent.
For a moment, Xu Wen Yang only felt a sharp and piercing pain come towards him. This sword intent felt as if it going to solidify into reality, fiercely piercing towards his body.
As the sword intent arrived, Blinking Sword Skill tightly followed. The two heavy attacks caused Xu Wen Yang fall into a crisis.
At this time, Xu Wen Yang no longer dared to be negligent. He exerted all of his body refining eighth level strength. He gave a low roar as yuan force was emitted from his body as he used all his force to block the sword intent’s invasion and his treasure grade blade simultaneously sliced out.
By his mobilization, this blade’s power had increased to its limit!
Lu Xuan was somewhat familiar with this move. It was the same Rock Severing Cut that Zheng Gang used, however, when Xu Wen Yang used the same move, it wasn’t something that Zheng Gang’s half-baked strength could compare to. Its power was at least three times higher. It was even stronger than Lu Xuan’s Breaking Flow One Sword. Overall standings number one wasn’t an unearned reputation.
This attack also had the support of coming from a treasure grade weapon, in addition with its sharpness. If Lu Xuan chose to continue attacking, most likely before he could hit Xu Wen Yang, the long sword in his hand would break. Right now, Xu Wen Yang by himself surpassed Lu Xuan’s strength, and he also had the advantage of weaponry to pressure him, forcing Lu Xuan to directly confront him head on.
Although he was unwilling, Lu Xuan didn’t dare to continue. The sword intent that enveloped Xu Wen Yang retreated. The instantaneous force that Xu Wen Yang produced caused Lu Xuan to decisively stop his attack and dodge Xu Wen Yang’s frontal assault.
This round of attacking, the two were once again in a stalemate, however, Xu Wen Yang had a feeling of fear flash through his heart. Lu Xuan was much harder to deal with than he had thought. His movement skill was extremely strange and fast, his sword draw was even faster, which was hard to guard against, especially under the sword intent’s assistance. It was simply like adding wings to a tiger!
(TN: Making something strong even stronger)
No longer daring to give Lu Xuan another chance to attack, taking advantage that he had retreated, Xu Wen Yang immediately took action. This time, he already change his strategy, no longer going for fast attacks. Just now, he had already seen Lu Xuan’s quick sword. Blinking Sword Skill had originally been extremely fast and even when Lu Xuan used the heavy sword it could still unleash Blinking Sword Skill’s essence. Right now, switching back to the long sword, its speed improved by another step. Xu Wen Yang’s speed might have been fast, but it was far from being as fast as Lu Xuan’s.
Right now, Xu Wen Yang wanted to squash Lu Xuan with his powerful strength. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Lu Xuan’s strength and weapon weren’t as good as his.
Xu Wen Yang’s power, Lu Xuan’s speed. Their fight sunk into a worrisome state.
After Xu Wen Yang sliced, a blade qi shot out. All of the bedroom’s furniture was almost smashed into bits and pieces. Lu Xuan relied on Rushing Thunder Flash and Blinking Sword Skill to continually circle to Xu Wen Yang’s side. Xu Wen Yang’s blade was too powerful. Lu Xuan could only hit and run and didn’t dare to stay still.
Seeing that Lu Xuan actually was fighting a battle of attrition with him, Xu Wen Yang had a rich grin on his face. A mere body refining sixth level actually dared to compete in expenditure. Did he think that his body refining eighth level was strength was just a decoration?
He now formulated a strategy. If Lu Xuan attacked, if he could block, then he’d block. If he couldn’t block it, then he would just use brute force to force Lu Xuan to back off.
But as the fight went on, the grin on Xu Wen Yang’s face grew less and less until it completely disappeared, replaced with an expression of astonishment. This Lu Xuan’s yuan force was actually so vigorous. He had been able endure fighting with him for such a long time without losing!
However, he also wasn’t in a hurry. He flipped his hand and a few yuan dan medicines were popped into his mouth and quickly swallowed. He inwardly sneered, I want to see how long you can endure for.
Seeing Xu Wen Yang’s actions, Lu Xuan’s heart sank.
This time, it wasn’t like the duel with Lin Tian. In a duel, naturally using dan medicines was looked down on, but now it was a life and death battle. In order to grasp victory, one could hold nothing back. Even if Lu Xuan also used Yuan Recovery Dans, he definitely wouldn’t be able to beat Xu Wen Yang. As the overall standing’s number one person, how could he have less items than Lu Xuan?
Lu Xuan’s thoughts raced. Since it was like this, in order to win, he could only rely on other means. He wasn’t an ordinary martial artist. He was also a one star spirit runemaster. He didn’t dare to use his long sword to clash with Xu Wen Yang, but spirit rune scrolls didn’t have this worry at all!
