Only, Yang Fan started to counterattack.

Although Lin Jian was the first to make his move, with his cultivation and the speed at which his spirit energy circulated, it was still quite a bit too slow to face a Mortal Realm practitioner.

"He's just a boorish fellow, nothing more than that!"

"Water Element Sword Art?"

Yang Fan frowned, he never thought that Lin Jian's sword technique would actually have a trace of the five elements, although it was not as strong as the Mortal Realm warrior's, but it still had some special characteristics.

And the characteristic of the five elements energy was that they were mutually exclusive — metal gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth, and earth gave birth to gold.

Yang Fan was currently in the first stage of the Five Elements Realm, the Golden Realm.

Therefore, when Lin Jian fought opponents with the Water Element Sword, he could get some nourishment from Yang Fan's Sharp Golden Sword Qi, and the more he fought, the stronger he would become.

After a moment of hesitation, the first strike returned without any success.

Although Lin Jian's sword force did not break through his defense, he was still unharmed. He twisted his body and actually tried to attack with the second move.

"Are you addicted to attacking?!"

Yang Fan suddenly felt angry, but at the same time, he felt that it was funny. He became serious, determined to let this unscrupulous trash have a taste of his power!

Yang Fan welcomed his steps without dodging at all. After circulating the spirit energy in his body for a few rounds, he crazily channeled his spirit energy into the sword blade. The Superior Xuan Artifact level treasure sword released a light sword hum, just like the sound of a dragon.

This strike of his had more than eighty percent of his strength poured into it, and the amount of spirit energy used had completely exceeded the scope of his Body Refinement. He wanted to use this strike to let this thing, Lin Jian, who did not know if he was dead or alive, feel what kind of true strength this was.

However —

In the next moment, Lin Jian suddenly retreated.

After he made a feint and gathered all of Yang Fan's Sword Qi, he turned around and ran away!

"…?"

Yang Fan had already prepared for the second move, he thought that Lin Jian would continue fighting head on, and was just about to give Lin Jian a ruthless blow, but who would have thought, actually escaped?

Immediately, Yang Fan activated his sword force in a hurry, wanting to stop Lin Jian before he completely escapes.

But Lin Jian dodged and dodged it.

"The second move."

Lin Jian steadily landed on the ground. The cold ice sword in his hand drew a flower of ice as an icy image bloomed, looking extremely beautiful.

"..." I know! "

looked at him and grinded his teeth in anger. Facing Lin Jian, this scum with a low cultivation, he was actually unable to take him down even after two consecutive moves. This made him too afraid to face everyone's gazes, this was simply too embarrassing.

Yang Fan took a deep breath, and the spirit energy in his body started to churn frantically. This time, he used all the power in his body to the maximum, and when he swung his sword, the power that erupted was definitely not inferior to the slash he made on Bai Luohan earlier.

And when Lin Jian thought that he had cleverly chosen to reduce the distance between them, it had also become a suicidal move. If the two sides were far enough from each other, Lin Jian might still be able to dodge, but right now, the two were so close, Yang Fan was definitely a small child.

"Just you wait!"

Yang Fan coldly snorted, and said: "The last move, receive it well!"

As the sound of his voice faded, a shocking sword aura abruptly slashed out from his hand!

This sword strike was incomparably threatening.

Not to mention the surrounding young disciples, even some of the older generation with weaker cultivations couldn't help but have their expressions change slightly at this moment.

Even the clan elders of the Profound Spirit Sect were secretly preparing to take action, dissolving the Sword Qi at any time, to prevent Lin Jian from losing his life from being caught off guard by this move.

And in the eyes of the crowd, Lin Jian was indeed unable to persevere any longer.

Not only that...

At this moment, Lin Jian was actually like a fool, staring blankly at the ground, the elemental energy in his body not showing any signs of circulating at all.

"He wouldn't have given up on resisting, right? They will die! "

"I think he's just scared silly. He doesn't know what to do!"

Even Bai Luohan was not able to block three of Yang Fan's strikes, so what's the use of this trash? It was only luck that allowed him to withstand two moves just now. Now it's time to compete in true skill. It really can't go on anymore, right? "

"…"

Similar discussions instantly spread to every corner of the entire Cirrus House.

Xiao Sanzi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes staring straight at Lin Jian, sweat trickling down from his palms as his heart pounded and jumped.

Gongsun Waner's beautiful eyes moved, and a disdainful little snort came out from her nose.

Bai Luohan's face revealed a sinister smile.

Finally —

Lin Jian, he's making his move!

Facing this shocking sword qi, he flung out his hand and threw out something.

In the next moment, an equally shocking Sword Qi burst out from that object, and clashed with Yang Fan's sword.

The two sword energies clashed against each other and produced an ear-piercing buzzing sound!

But soon, both sides canceled each other out.

Everyone opened their mouths wide in shock, and many of their jaws dropped to the ground.

Yang Fan was also startled, and asked: "You, what you used just now was... "Sword Talisman?"

"Yeah."

Lin Jian nodded his head, and said: "It's a middle grade sword talisman, and it can release the full power of the Mortal Realm warrior's sword qi after using it, which is still considered rare, but after using it, I still feel sorry for it, but after winning the bet, I can obtain a middle grade Thunder talisman that can be used again and again from you. Its value is higher than this one time middle grade sword talisman by who knows where, I still earn it."

"..." Who asked you the question of whether you made money or not! During the martial arts competition, there were people who used talismans! "

Yang Fan's eyes widened as he asked while breathing heavily.

"No one uses it."

Lin Jian continued with his sentence, and then changed the subject: "But, you didn't say you wouldn't use it, right?"

"…"

Everyone fell silent, sighing at Lin Jian's shamelessness.

Indeed, the rules didn't say that no talismans were allowed, but was that even necessary? The nature of this friendly martial competition is to display one's strength to the elders of the Profound Spirit Sect. If everyone was like you, opening the way for the competition with a talisman, would it still be considered showing one's strength? Showing their wealth was about the same!

But...

After all, Lin Jian did not violate the rules of the competition. He had come here purely for the sake of victory, not to show off his strength or to show off his skills.

"You are a dignified Mysterious Spirit Sect disciple. You can't possibly lose and not admit your loss, right?" Lin Jian looked at Yang Fan calmly, his hand extended out, palm upwards, his fingers hooked up.

"…"

Yang Fan gnashed his teeth in anger, but didn't know what to say.

At this time, an aged laughter came from the main seat. It was an elder of the Profound Spirit Sect who came to a conclusion: "We can be considered to have won this match by Lin Jian."

"..." "Humph!"

When Yang Fan heard this, he immediately glared at Lin Jian fiercely and threw out the Fire Essence Intent and Thunder Rune.

Immediately after, he turned around and returned to his seat. Before he left, he threatened Lin Jian with a low voice: "Kid, this matter isn't over! No one can take my things easily! "

"Thank you."

However, Lin Jian seemed to not hear a word as he picked up his spoils of war and returned to his seat.

Everyone looked at Lin Jian with incomparably complicated expressions. Logically speaking, they should be cheering for Lin Jian, because it was Lin Jian who had played with the last bit of face in the Greencloud City, and had not ended up with a complete defeat.

However … No matter how one looked at it, the way Lin Jian had won was somewhat disgraceful. However, he himself did not care about this matter at all, because Lin Jian himself had only acted for the sake of the Fire Element Insight and the Lightning Symbol.

After that, although the competition was still ongoing, it was no longer as lively as it was during the martial arts competition. After Lin Jian and Yue Yang, no one went up the stage to fight. When they left, everyone had a face full of lament, and many of them looked at Lin Jian with extremely complicated gazes.

After today …

The name Lin Jian once again resounded throughout Qing Yun.
