Lin Xue's sword resounded, marking the start of the final act!
The sword technique Lin Xue practiced was also the Combat Technique of wielding the sword. In fact, the Lin family had been dedicated to re
Zheng!
Lin Xue's long sword tore through the light curtain, calmly pointing at Le Yu. The mouth of her sword scabbard emitted a faint golden glow, indicating that the scabbard light was fully charged, ready to be unleashed at any moment!
It didn't fall for it... Le Yu felt a slight sinking in his heart.
All the power of the Lin Family Sword was in the first scabbard sword light. Before it's unleashed, everyone fears it; when it's out, the game ends—if it couldn't win, it surely lost.
As long as Lin Xue expended her sword intent slot to unleash the first scabbard sword light, she would no longer be a threat to Le Yu. However Le Yu wanted her to pose, she would be made to pose—like being pounded.
Thus, Le Yu's recent forward onslaught was meant to make Lin Xue sense significant danger, tricking out her scabbard sword light. It was unexpected that Lin Xue was that composed. If he had truly continued the attack, Lin Xue might have been knocked from one end of the street to the other.
Yin Yinyin believed Le Yu could defeat the Lin Family Avenger, and this judgment was fairly reliable. Not to mention Gao Jin, who was pure cannon fodder; Xia Lingguo was a hidden Qian Yu flow fervent illegitimate fan for many years, one couldn't blame Yin Yinyin. As for Lin Xue, the strongest Avenger on the surface, she posed only one threat to Le Yu.
Even though Le Yu was wounded with severely drained stamina, as long as he remained cautious and steadily played, defeating Lin Xue wasn't difficult. Le Yu was merely testing; if he could truly draw out the scabbard sword light, it would have prematurely ended the feud.
But, was Lin Xue truly a traitor? If not, was Yin Yinyin's traitor hypothesis wrong? And if she was, did she have any backups?
Many thoughts flashed through Le Yu's mind, but ultimately only one remained: to defeat her!
To extinguish Lin Jinyao's disciples' and children's chances of joining White Night!
Lin Jinyao was already dead; there was no need for his disciples and children to follow his path and sacrifice for that worthless White Night—even a mere Qian Yu flow couldn't be defeated, so give up on the ideals of saving the nation. Go home, refine your training more, and stay ready for when you can be of use!
Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
The Claw Sword clashed, sparking bursts of light that hurt the eyes of those around. Many martial artists observing realized that the Qian Yu flow, previously pushed back by Lin Xue's sword net, suddenly surged, pressing Lin Xue back step by step!
"Has even the Lin Family Sword become a stepping stone for Qian Yu flow..."
"Isn't he afraid of the scabbard sword light?"
"Earlier, when the Thousand Feather Flow failed to deceive the sword light, it is now Lin Xue's turn to avoid using a killing move!"
As long as she doesn't use the sword light, Lin Xue is no match for Le Yu. Just in the purely real explosions, Le Yu's Desolate Bite could easily tear through Lin Xue's sword light. After just a few moves, Lin Xue's situation was already precarious. If not for Le Yu occasionally using feints to dodge, Lin Xue would have been defeated long ago!
'Still not using it? Still doubting my feint? ...Then let's make it real!'
Le Yu brushed aside Lin Xue's approaching sword light, suddenly shuffled sideways, and pushed with both palms, seemingly about to perform the Desolate Bite. Just when everyone thought it was another feint, he firmly imprinted his palm on Lin Xue's chest, force exploding!
Lin Xue was shaken strongly and retreated, her five organs instantly boiling and blood surging. Before she could spit out a mouthful of blood, Le Yu's killing move was already in front of her!
Biting Battle Technique · Desolate Bite!
Le Yu reached for Lin Xue's neck, the light exploded in the air, sound-breaking force following. This grasp could crack stone, split iron, shatter bones, and gold!
If Lin Xue continued to retreat, then Le Yu's long-accumulated left-hand force would push her into the crowd, announcing the victory of this feud ending!
No matter who the traitor is, this will all end!
However—
Lin Xue didn't retreat!
She bit her lip to awaken her mind through pain, steadied herself, and handed the sword sheath to Le Yu!
When Le Yu's hand grabbed Lin Xue's neck, Lin Xue's sword sheath had already reached Le Yu's chest!
A tremor that almost penetrated stimulated Le Yu's scalp to go numb; Lin Xue's sword sheath light was poised to launch, Le Yu couldn't avoid, couldn't block!
However, Lin Xue, your neck is also in my hand!
Yet when Le Yu saw Lin Xue's calm eyes, he realized he had misunderstood from the beginning.
Lin Xue was not the traitor.
Lin Xue was also not relying on promises, confident in defeating the Thousand Feather Flow.
From the outset, she came to find Thousand Feather Flow for mutual destruction.
So when facing Le Yu's probing feints, she neither dodged nor used the sword sheath light.
Until Le Yu went all out, Lin Xue could create a perfect opportunity, leaving Le Yu no escape—though this opportunity required her death as the price.
So, what to do next?
Kill Lin Xue?
Le Yu heavily injured?
Or Le Yu spares Lin Xue, waiting until he's dead to possess Lin Xue, and start a new life as a successful avenging maiden?
In Le Yu's mind, all words converged into a curse:
Lin Jinyao, Thousand Feather Flow, you two should have gone to hell a long time ago and stop letting me clean up your messes!
In a whirlwind move, Le Yu dissipated all the force in his right hand, left hand's Desolate Bite light exploded like a tide, heavily imprinting on Lin Xue's abdomen!
At the same time, Lin Xue's hand holding the sheath suddenly trembled slightly, the light overflowing from the sheath suddenly dissipated. Hit by Le Yu's palm, she dropped her weapon directly and collapsed to the ground with a shout.
It's over.
Lin Xue didn't launch the sword sheath light, Le Yu didn't kill Lin Xue, this feud-ended with the most perfect resolution.
Le Yu exhaled heavily, relaxing his entire body, thinking he should take leave to go for a massage at the Medical Bureau today. He glanced at Lin Xue, who was pale-faced lying on the ground, intending to help her up.
Suddenly, a piercing sword chant exploded, followed by a heart-wrenching roar: "Thousand Feather Flow, don't think of killing my niece!"
Le Yu slapped away the sword light, cursed: "Lin Xue En, get lost!"
Rushing towards Le Yu was Lin Jinyao's brother Lin Xue En, his sword light danced towards Le Yu, with grief he said: "You've won the feud, and the Lin family ancestral home is yours too, why do you want to annihilate!"
"I didn't!"
Lin Xue En's combat level was not even as high as Lin Xue's; trading blows with Le Yu, he quickly grew impatient and directly repelled his long sword, then heavily imprinted with Desolate Bite, intending to force him back!
Yet Lin Xue En did not retreat or dodge at this time, he flicked his long sword into a flower and reversed it towards Le Yu!
Damn it, does your Lin family all love mutual destruction?
But you, with your skills, how dare you make demands?
Le Yu was sure this imprint of his Desolate Bite could knock Lin Xue En several meters away before his long sword could cut it down, thinking since you insist on being shameless, I'll be polite!
At this moment, a heavy chill shot through Le Yu's body.
Intense fear, intense premonition, intense threat polluted every corner inside his body through Le Yu's spirit senses! Every cell protested, demanding he dodge immediately, leave immediately, quick, swift, hurry!
Instantly, Le Yu realized the reason for his fear—
Someone from afar was aiming at him with a sniper rifle!
