327 Life and Death

In terms of raw power, Lin Zhenyue could easily crush the three of them. However, every fatal blow was blocked. If it wasn’t for Lin Zhenxing’s support from the side, she would have turned a small advantage into a small disadvantage.

However, her growth was visible. With Lin Zhenxing’s help, Lin Zhenyue gained the upper hand step by step. Then, she familiarized herself with the fighting style of the other three and turned from a small advantage to a big advantage.

It wasn’t quite a victory just yet.

“She’s still too naive. Her swordsmanship is too rigid. She hasn’t walked out of the framework of the routine. She’s still growing. It’s not like the three people opposite her aren’t familiar with her methods as well. She can’t win.”

As a master swordsman and a disciple from Wudang, Su Huaizhou had her own unique views on swordsmanship.

Lin Xuan was noncommittal. He had also practiced blade techniques in the past, but he slowly gave up later on because he realized that proving the way with strength was more suitable for himself. Using strength that exceeded the limits to kill the enemy in one strike was a very satisfying and efficient feeling.

He had temporarily put aside his skills. Perhaps he would have the time to pick up the blade technique when he reached the earth-rank.

“They’re about to escape.”

Looking at the battle, Lin Xuan analyzed the problem at hand.

“I’ll go and deal with them.”

All of a sudden, the three of them seemed to have reached an agreement. Just as Lin Zhenyue was about to use her previous attack to gain the advantage and create an opportunity for her to attack, the three of them suddenly launched a counterattack. They took Lin Zhenyue’s attack head-on and toughed it out. Finally, they pushed in the opposite direction, turned around, and fled into the distance.

However, before they could run far, Lin Xuan appeared like a sudden ghost. With a point of his finger, he easily killed one of them. Then, as if he had teleported, he appeared in front of the other one. Before the other one could cry out in surprise, Lin Xuan pointed a finger between his brows.

“It’s a little lonely to have two people on the road to Hell. I’ll give you a lift.”

The last finger landed, and the last person dropped.

Lin Xuan walked up to Lin Zhenyue. “Not bad, but this is a life-and-death battle. You have your sister with you, and she’s a super strong support. You should trust your sister’s healing ability. She can quickly recover from some injuries, so sometimes you don’t have to be afraid of getting hurt, as long as the injury is within your pain tolerance.”

In reality, Lin Xuan was still a little disappointed with this outcome. Lin Zhenyue’s strength had improved, but she did not have much combat experience. Or rather, she had too little life-and-death experience. She was not like Lin Xuan, who had escaped from the hands of earth-rank powerhouses several times.

It must feel good being protected by the principal!

“Let’s go. We can continue finding others to battle.”

This time, Lin Xuan was really determined to fight. He had to train up two skills. Lin Zhenxing might not be able to take on fighting in the future and would most likely be in charge of healing in the logistics department. However, it was inevitable that he would be on the front lines. At this time, he would need to have a certain amount of combat experience.

They had been in the team for more than almost two years. He had to leave something for the sisters to learn. They should at least have some ability to protect themselves, right?

In the sky, a huge invisible eye appeared, checking the enemies nearby that could be used to join forces.

“What?”

A toad raised its head to look at the sky. It seemed to have discovered something, but there was nothing in the sky. No, that wasn’t right. The feedback from the Immortal Technique was telling it that something was staring at it from above!

“You two, there should be someone investigating the area and they have discovered us!”

Next to it was a white snake and a cyan slug. They were spies sent by the three holy lands. According to their observations, a lot of people seemed to have entered Muxia Village recently. Many of them looked different from the people of Muxia. They had blond hair and blue eyes, and they spoke with a strong accent.

According to the speculations of the clan’s elders, outsiders had infiltrated their land.

It was both a good and a bad thing.

With more people, there would be fewer places for the holy land disciples to train. However, they could perhaps create a conflict within Muxia Village and get away with it.

As such, the three of them were sent out.

There was only one large slug in the Bone Forest, and the small slugs were all its progeny.

However, the problem they faced was that they couldn’t find anyone different from Muxia Village at all!

Unfortunately, they had been discovered by someone. They didn’t know if they were friends or enemies.

“Should we retreat or fight?”

The toad asked his two teammates, mainly the slug’s opinion. After all, it was a big shot.

“As you wish.”

“Let’s do this!”

The slug had no desires. Even if the Bone Forest was broken through, it wouldn’t die. At most, it would only suffer a little, so it had developed an extremely pacifist personality.

However, the white snake was different. It was very aggressive, or rather, the snakes that came out of the Dragon Cave liked to fight.

However, the toad wanted to retreat. It didn’t want to fight, because, through the detection spell, it could vaguely sense that the person who used this spell was definitely very powerful. At the very least, they couldn’t afford to offend him.

The three votes were all different. What should they do?

Then let the enemy decide!

“A beast from the sacred land?”

Naturally, Lin Xuan saw the toad, the white snake, and the slug. The three of them would be extremely powerful if they formed a team. They were perfect for Lin Zhenyue to practice her skills. She would be at a disadvantage, but her life would not be in danger.

In just a few minutes, Lin Xuan had brought a few of them near the three of them.

Be brave and fearless!

With the Toad’s Immortal Technique, the white snake’s attack, and the slug’s healing skills, the three beasts had no holes. Not only did they perfectly block Lin Zhenyue’s crazy attacks, but they also had the energy to counterattack. The toad even sensed that Lin Zhenyue was hiding around them and started healing her.

Mystic-rank — Fairy Stance!

Lin Zhenyue shouted. She was possessed by an angel, and her sword spirit was in her hand. Her condition was greatly enhanced, and every swing of her sword made the toad, who was in a defensive position, tremble in fear. The aura exuded from her sword was truly terrifying. Even the Immortal Techniques could not block it, and could only avoid its sharp edge.

This way, the white snake was in trouble. As the attacker, without the protection of the defensive position, he was left with an opening and allowed Lin Zhenyue to have an upper hand. If it wasn’t for the slug’s healing spell, he would have lost blood and fainted.

“Toad, what the f*ck are you doing?”

“You st*pid snake, stop pushing. Can’t you just hide?”

On the battlefield, Lin Zhenyue unexpectedly gained a huge advantage!
