After yesterday's torment, Lin Xi quickly fell asleep. It was not until the early morning sunlight entered the room and shone on his face that Lin Xi opened his eyes in a daze.
Raising her right hand to slightly block the dazzling light, and stretching, Lin Xi jumped off the bed. She felt extremely comfortable all over. There was an unprecedented smooth feeling in her right arm, and the sword energy was flowing smoothly.
It is even more smooth, which obviously helps a lot in the performance of some spiritual skills.
Slightly shaking her right hand, Lin Xi smiled faintly and said to herself: "It seems that this spiritual fire quenching meridians still has many benefits. I should hurry up and complete the other meridians when I get the chance."
Looking at the dazzling sunshine outside, Lin Xi habitually ran his skills and was suddenly stunned for a moment because he found that the sword energy surging in his body was actually much thicker than yesterday, and had far exceeded the sword energy.
The limit of the middle spiritual stage.
"What happened? Breakthrough?" Lin Xi felt the much stronger energy in his body blankly. It was indeed the state after the breakthrough. A strange look appeared on his face. He had been practicing for many days but could not break through.
In the late stage of Sword and Soul, how come you suddenly made a breakthrough after taking a good nap?
He lowered his head slightly and glanced at his right arm. Could this have something to do with it?
After frowning and thinking for a while, and realizing that she had no clue, Lin Xi also put aside the problem, and then began to secretly rejoice at her own cultivation.
"Forget it, it's just a breakthrough anyway, no matter what the reason is, the late stage of Sword Spirit, hehe, not bad, the next step is to become the Sword King..."
…
When Lin Xi came to the door of Su's house, Ma Hong and the other four were already standing there waiting, whispering to each other, and solemn expressions flashed across their faces. Seeing Lin Xi coming out, Ma Hong immediately turned his head and clasped his fists with a smile.
Said: "Brother Lin, did you have a good rest last night?"
"Okay, okay." Lin Xi responded with a smile, and immediately noticed something was wrong with the four people's expressions, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Ma, what happened?"
Ma Hong looked at each other and replied in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, according to the news from our informants in Shanggao Town, the other party should have found Lang Jie and Wu Shan this time, which is a bit tricky.
.”
"Why do you say that?" From what Ma Hong said, it seems that the other party is quite strong?
Ma Hong glanced at the fiery woman next to him. The woman immediately understood and said, "Young master Lin, you don't know. These Lang Jie and Wu Shan are not from Shanggao Town, but two bandits who dominate the mountain."
The bosses are notorious in several surrounding towns. They rob passers-by, kill people and set fires, and commit all kinds of evil. We have also jointly gone up the mountain to encircle and suppress them, but because of the steep terrain, remote roads, and their own strength, we have never been able to do anything.
Destroy it."
"Aren't they afraid of public outrage when they ask these two for help?" After hearing the woman's explanation, Lin Xi asked. Since the two of them are so notorious, the other party should know the consequences.
"Only a few of us know about this matter, and they are not afraid that we will tell it, otherwise it will be revealed and attract outsiders. This is not what we want to see." Ma Hong said at the side.
After listening to the other party's words, Lin Xi pondered for a moment and said, "What are the strengths of these two people?"
"One is at the peak of the sword spirit, and the other...has reached the half-step sword king!" Ma Hong said solemnly. It was obvious that an opponent of this strength had made him feel pressure, and the opponent was also the kind of master who killed people without blinking an eye.
.
"Oh?" Lin Xi was a little surprised when he heard that one person had reached the half-step sword king level. No wonder the two of them were able to dominate each other, and their own strength should not be underestimated.
A half-step sword king is someone who has already stepped into the existence of a sword king. Whether it is the strength of the sword element or his own grasp of the battle, it is not comparable to ordinary sword spirits. Except for the real sword king,
It is already difficult to defeat ordinary sword spirits.
"Brother Ma, it seems like these two people are a bit troublesome for you?"
Turning his gaze to Ma Hong, Lin Xi asked with a smile. Judging from Ma Hong's expression, the opponent's strength must have made him feel difficult.
Hearing Lin Xi's question, Ma Hong also smiled bitterly and said truthfully: "I can handle the peak sword spirit, but I'm not sure about the half-step sword king."
Ma Hong is not a person who belittles himself. Not only that, his own talent is not weak, and his strength has reached the late stage of Sword Spirit. He is also the number one figure in Nanshui Town. But even so, facing the Half-Step Sword
The king's strength, even with his proud character, has to be treated with caution.
"In that case, just leave it to me." Lin Xi said calmly, not retreating because of the other party's strength.
"Huh?" Ma Hong looked at Lin Xi in surprise, obviously not expecting the other party to say this.
"Brother Lin, can you stop that half-step sword king?"
"You can give it a try." Lin Xi gave a pertinent answer. Not to mention the awakening of his second sea of qi and some powerful trump cards he possesses, just relying on the strength of his late sword spirit, even against a half-step sword.
King, he will not be afraid at all.
The four of them looked at each other and saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes. A swordsman of that level could be said to be invincible under the Sword King. Even if they met such a person, it would be very difficult. They didn't expect the person in front of them.
Not only did the young man show no fear, he even actively asked to fight with him.
"Okay! Since Brother Lin has such courage, of course we will believe in Brother Lin. As long as Brother Lin can stop this person for a moment, when we are free, we will be able to defeat him in one fell swoop." Ma Hong is not the kind of person who is dragging his feet.
At this point, he has no choice but to let him give up Akahoshi Amakusa. He is really unwilling to do so. All he can do now is to believe in the other party and hope that the young man in front of him can hold on for a while and finally there is a glimmer of hope.
Lin Xi was noncommittal and didn't say much. There were some things that were useless no matter how much he said. Only facts could explain everything.
"Then let's rush to the Nanling Mountains now." After feeling that the time was almost up, Ma Hong continued.
"That place is in the Nanling Mountains?" Lin Xi's eyes moved slightly when he heard the other party say this place. Although the danger level of that place is far less than that of the Death Forest, it is still a dangerous place for most swordsmen.
Ma Hong nodded and said: "It's on a back mountain. Calculating the time, the five other people should be on their way here, so we don't want to delay any more."
"Okay, we'll leave immediately." Lin Xi also nodded.
