Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 732 - 704: Offering Help at the Exit
The young warrior struck with all his might, but the dark-clad expert easily neutralized his attack, and the youth realized his strength was no match for the dark-clad expert.
However, he did not fear, holding his large saber high, he bellowed out.
"Kill!"
In a narrow path, the brave emerges victorious, the young warrior planned to fight desperately to turn the tide.
His long saber swept across, producing a Blade Qi, dazzlingly brilliant, emitting blinding light.
The man in black moved, his palm flipped, and the Treasured Sword in his hand was drawn.
"Whoosh."
The sword's cry pierced the sky, its Sword Qi was sharp, and the edge was chilling to the bone.
The dark-clad expert waved his Treasured Sword, easily crushing the youth's Blade Qi. Then, with sheer arrogance in his voice, he pointed his sword at the youth and said,
"I will defeat you in just three moves."
"First move, Spirit Snake Pierces the Heart!"
He roared, slashing his Treasured Sword three times in quick succession, instantly shining brilliance upon the blade edge.
The ferocity was even worse!
In the next moment, he moved, turning into a ghostly figure, leaving behind only a whiff of breeze in his original place.
The Treasured Sword was so swift it became invisible, with one strike aiming straight for the youth's heart.
This was a set of sword techniques, combined with Step Technique, pushing the power to its limit.
However, it was evident that he was not very familiar with the sword techniques, and despite many flaws, these were compensated by his extremely fast Step Technique, imperceptible to the ordinary eye.
The sword's tip arrived in the blink of an eye. The youth felt a chill as the sharp edge approached.
The youth quickly retreated, and at the same time, blocked with his Treasured Saber.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound pierced the ear as the youth's saber blocked the dark-clad expert's sword, sending the youth reeling back five steps, and at the intersection of the saber and sword, a notch was chipped off the Treasured Saber.
The dark-clad expert was unruffled, but the youth's vitality surged violently, turning his face pale.
The dark-clad expert sneered and coldly said, "Second move, Dragon Soars in the Sky."
He swept his Treasured Sword, moving with the speed of flight above the youth's head, and slashed directly down, intending to cleave the youth in two.
The youth raised his Treasured Saber to block.
"Bang!"
A thunderous noise ensued, and the divine might from the Treasured Sword exploded the Treasured Saber into dust, scattering fragments in all directions, like bullets raining down.
The youth, jolted by the force, fell on his buttocks, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth, his body convulsing from serious injuries!
The dark-clad expert did not rush the attack, and pointing his sword, he said, "I told you, it takes only three moves to defeat you. It seems I have overestimated you; you are far weaker than I imagined."
The youth, humiliated, became furious, stood up, and clenched his fists at him.
The dark-clad expert dismissed him with a snort, "Oh? Still want to fight? If I strike again, you'll die. Submit to me now, kneel and beg, and if I am pleased, perhaps I will spare your life."
"Ptooey!"
The youth spat out and cursed.
"A man only kneels to the heavens and his parents. You dog, you're not worthy of my kneeling."
"How dare a defeated soldier curse me, die then!"
"Third move, Subdue the Heavens."
The dark-clad expert's Treasured Sword hovered in the air, his body leapt, channeling all his strength into his Treasured Sword, intent on killing the youth.
The youth had no escape, his hands devoid of a proper weapon. Although he possessed the Heart of the Fearless Hero, he ultimately could not change his fate.
Huang Batian and others looked on smugly, convinced that if they won, in front of so many witnesses, Li Linglong would not dare to go back on her word, and then she would lose face.
Just thinking about Li Linglong's vexed appearance made Huang Batian happy.
And what about Li Linglong and little Feiyan? They were on edge, Li Linglong filled with regret, and little Feiyan was so scared her face turned pale.
She had insisted on fighting, but now that they were about to lose, and with her life on the line, how could she not be afraid?
Just when everyone felt helpless, Lin Tian, at this moment, spoke calmly.
"Tilt your body thirty-six degrees, throw a right punch, aim for his left armpit."
The dark-clad expert's speed was fast, but no matter how swift, he could not escape the grasp of Subdue the Heavens' wood element.
One of the basic skills of Subdue the Heavens was to slow down the enemy's moves, finding the flaws within them, striving for a fatal blow!
The dark-clad expert's sword moves had not grasped the essence, thus, there were many deadly oversights.
The method Lin Tian just shared with the youth, as long as he followed Lin Tian's instructions, although he would be cut down by the dark-clad expert's Treasured Sword, he could inflict serious damage on the dark-clad expert before dying.
Risking life for life!
The dark-clad expert, confident in his superior strength over the youth, would not willingly suffer heavy injuries to kill him, so the dark-clad expert would surely withdraw his sword.
The sudden voice surprised everyone. At first, the youth did not react, but after Lin Tian's reminder, Li Linglong instantly discovered the armpit was a flaw in the dark-clad expert's moves.
"Do as he says," Li Linglong ordered, commanding the youth.
The young man swiftly pivoted thirty-six degrees and, with no time to dodge the man in black's Treasured Sword, threw a straight punch directly.
"Damn it!"
The man in black cursed loudly and, just as Lin Tian had predicted, he believed that with his own strength, killing the young man would be as easy as flipping his hand. So, to avoid serious injury, he didn't blindly attack, but quickly drew back his sword and stepped aside.
The young man hadn't actually believed what Lin Tian had said, but he still followed Li Linglong's command. The moment the man in black withdrew his sword, the young man realized that Lin Tian's simple words had directly pinpointed the man in black's vulnerability, saving his life.
Everyone noticed this and turned to look in the direction of Lin Tian's voice.
"Who is this guy? I've never seen him before. He doesn't seem to be from Cang Hai."
"I haven't seen him either and, judging by his accent, he's not a local."
"Looks like he's one of Li Linglong's experts. Only a remarkable person could spot the weakness in the man in black's moves so quickly."
...,....
People were abuzz with discussion, all very curious about Lin Tian's background and identity.
The man in black was furious. If it weren't for Lin Tian speaking up just then, he would have already won.
Pointing his sword at Lin Tian, he bellowed, "Kid, who the hell are you, and who gave you permission to speak? Do you know where you are? Do you think you have the right to speak here?"
He was extremely arrogant, not putting Lin Tian in his eyes at all, displaying a look of utter disdain as if he was begging for a thrashing.
Just as Lin Tian was about to retort to save face, Li Linglong spoke up before him.
"It seems you don't know where you are either. This is my place. Whether some people are allowed to speak, I'll be the judge of that, not you," she said.
Li Linglong could tell that Lin Tian was helping her. And given that Lin Tian had instantly pointed out the flaw in the man in black's moves, she recognized he must be extraordinary. She wanted to draw him to her side and would not allow Lin Tian to be bullied.
The man in black was so refuted he was left speechless, fuming with anger!
Gou San stepped forward and shouted, "Sister Ling, that was a match just now. This kid spoke up to help. Isn't that cheating? If word gets out, people might say Sister Ling can't afford to lose, which might not be good for your reputation!"
Huang Batian, upon hearing this, nodded his approval, looking at Gou San with admiration.
He kept Gou San by his side precisely because of this trait. Gou San understood what Huang Batian wanted and often struck right at the heart of the matter.
Contrary to what was expected, Li Linglong didn't care at all and directly responded, "This young brother didn't lay a hand on anyone. He simply opened his mouth. What's wrong with that? If Brother Batian has someone capable, I don't mind if his people offer their assistance on the side."
"Li Linglong, don't you think that's a bit far-fetched?" Huang Batian said angrily.
Li Linglong replied with a smile, "It might be a bit much, but you, Brother Batian, have many strong men under your command. Are you really scared of someone just moving their mouth?"
"You..." Huang Batian exclaimed, rendered speechless in his fury.
At this moment, the man in black, gnashing his teeth in anger, got to his feet and shouted, "Lord Batian, I am not afraid. Even with their assistance, I can still defeat that trash."
Huang Batian nodded and decided not to pursue the matter further.
Since Li Linglong had just supported Lin Tian, Lin Tian decided to be kindhearted to the end, "seeing the Buddha through the West."
He took out the Godslayer Sword and called out to the young man, "Your Treasured Saber is broken. Use my sword."
The young man nodded and took the Treasured Sword from Lin Tian's hands.
The man in black snorted in anger, "Hmph, trash will always be trash. Even with help, you won't win."
His Step Technique moved and he launched an offensive strike, his sword aiming for the young man's brow.
Lin Tian, watching from the side, calmly instructed, "Step forward five times, turn around, and from the right side, stab at his right buttock."
Trusting Lin Tian's words, the young man followed the guidance and lunged with his sword.
"Ah...!"
An agonized scream followed, and the young man's sword actually penetrated the right buttock of the man in black. Although it wasn't a deep wound, merely a flesh wound, it was still incredible.
"Damn it!"
The man in black cursed, ignoring the bleeding wound on his buttocks, and with a counterstroke, his sword aimed at the young man's lower back.
"Block with your sword and kick out with your right foot towards his left hip," Lin Tian instructed.
"Clang!"
"Ah...!"
With a sharp sound and a pig-slaughter-like scream, the young man's kick landed perfectly on the left hip of the man in black, almost breaking his hip bone.
"Circumvent to the right to dodge his sword and cut his right arm!"
The young man did as instructed, avoiding the man in black's Treasured Sword and aiming his sword at his arm.
The man in black, startled, had his hair stand on end and hurriedly dodged. In the end, with his ghostly Step Technique, he narrowly avoided the strike but, because he dodged too hastily, lost his balance and became unsteady on his legs.
"Strike proactively, kick at his right chest!"
The young man kicked out ferociously, hitting the right chest of the man in black squarely and sending him flying several meters away. Onlookers could clearly hear the sound of bones shattering.
The man in black lay on the ground like a dead dog after a severe impact, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, clutching his chest, and wailing without cessation.
After a dozen seconds or so, the man in black no longer had the strength to stand up, and the outcome was decided, with the victor and loser clearly distinguished!
At this point, everyone looked at Lin Tian with new respect. The young man had been destined to lose, but with just a few pointers from Lin Tian, he had turned defeat into victory and reversed the situation. People stared at Lin Tian as if he were a deity themselves!
