Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 79: An Even Match

The battle between the two grew more and more intense.

Both figures constantly exchanged blows and constantly darted all over the place, as if it were two shadows fighting each other, and it was impossible for others to see them clearly.

One figure brandished his sword as the blade sparkled with light.

He was extremely fast, unpredictable and vicious.

Every move he made was capable of killing, and he wielded his sword with precision and deadliness. It was truly an art of killing, and the only goal was to kill the opponent.

The other figure brandished his claws as the metallic finger gloves shone with a chilling light.

There was no question that the claws were extremely destructive.

Even steel could be torn apart like cloth.

The battle between the two was incredibly tense and filled with danger, and one slight mistake could result in death.

Fear grew in Old Demon Xu's heart as he fought.

The sword art of the Huashan youth before him was too powerful.

He had already reached the perfection stage of Deadly Chain of Three Celestial Swords, a superior sword art.

One had to know, even a second-rate expert like Old Demon Xu could only reach the advanced stage of Eagle Claws Art after training in seclusion for years.

In comparison, the youth was now capable of producing countless variations with his sword art which originally only had three moves, and each variation contained the power of a superior sword art.

Old Demon Xu was starting to run out of new moves. Eagle Claws Art did not really have that many different moves.

Grabbing, tearing, cracking

It came down to just those few moves.

If Old Demon Xu had not used his original martial art Iron Claws Art as well, he would have run out of moves a long time ago.

Facing a similarly skilled opponent, it was dangerous to recycle one's moves.

It meant that your opponent can now read you like an open book and take advantage of the openings in your moves.

At best, it meant heavy injuries. At worst, it meant death!

Thinking of this, Old Demon Xu hardened his heart.

This cannot go on!

Just as Old Demon Xu was about to lose the advantage, he abruptly changed his move!

Ignoring Lin Yi's deadly attack, he directly attacked Lin Yi with his Eagle Claws in what seemed to be an attempt to perish together.

Apparently, he was gambling that Lin Yi would not have the guts to perish together with him!

Why would a genius with a bright future choose to perish together with an old devil?

Old Demon Xu's face revealed a hint of ridicule as he was convinced that the Huashan youth would not have the guts to do so and he was doomed to lose this battle!

A true expert would dare to stare at death directly. Those who were afraid of dying could never become a true expert, no matter how powerful one's martial arts were!

Being afraid of dying meant that openings will inevitably be revealed, which in turn meant defeat.

Victory was certain for Old Demon Xu!

As he thought about how a top genius from Huashan was going to die to his hands, Old Demon felt a sense of achievement. It surpassed the feeling he got from killing several hundred major sect disciples.

How could those disciples compare to this Huashan youth?

He was able to fight evenly with Old Demon Xu even though he was only a third-rate expert, and he was even showing signs of gaining the upper hand.

This was a genius who was capable of fighting people higher-classed than himself!

Among all the people Old Demon Xu had met, only the Young Master of Ming Cult, Ao Tianjiao had been capable of doing that.

Who was Ao Tianjiao?

The number one genius in the demonic faction, and possibly in all of Jianghu.

A righteous faction genius who was just as talented as Ao Tianjiao was going to die to his hands. How could Old Demon Xu not get excited from it?

Suddenly, Old Demon Xu's face froze.

The Huashan youth actually ignored his attempt to perish together and continued piercing towards his heart with his sword.

Old Demon Xu was speechless.

How can a top genius like you not be afraid of death?

That is just not possible!

His heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

The madness in Old Demon Xu's eyes grew even more intense.

He was unable to believe that the Huashan youth truly did not fear death.

Trying to compete with Old Demon Xu at not fearing death.

Laughable!

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Old Demon Xu and Lin Yi both struck each other!

At the last moment, Old Demon Xu twisted his body and the sword pierced his waist instead, inflicting a serious injury!

Lin Yi also dodged at the last moment and was able to avoid getting hit at a critical area. However, his left arm was hit by the Eagle Claws and a large chunk of flesh was ripped off, causing his left arm to be disabled and rendered immobile.

Both of them were not afraid of death and traded injury for injury.

With a pained grunt, they backed off with great speed, temporarily halting the battle.

Pressing the appropriate acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, both of them panted heavily as they stared at each other.

Old Demon Xu's face had a shocked but solemn expression.

Lin Yi was expressionless and his face was cold. If he had not been panting, nobody would even notice that he had been injured.

Facing someone who was so harsh on himself, even Old Demon Xu was intimidated.

Geniuses and powerful sword arts were not scary. A genius who possesses a powerful sword art and was not afraid of death was the truly scary thing.

If Old Demon Xu was the kind of crazy that had an insatiable lust for blood, Lin Yi would be the kind of crazy that was ruthless and thought nothing of life and death.

Staring at each other, they both wanted the other person dead!

"My God!"

Yan Bei who was frozen by fear could not help crying out in his heart as he watched the two battle.

He was filled with disbelief.

If someone had told him that a powerful genius was capable of fighting a higher-classed expert, he wouldn't believe it no matter what.

But now, the scene in front of him had proven otherwise.

He had witnessed with his own eyes what a true genius was capable of!

In contrast, someone like Yan Bei was not fit to be called a genius at all!

The difference between them was like heaven and earth.

"Could it be that the geniuses from major sects are all this powerful?"

"It's incredible!"

"Deadly Celestial Sword is indeed worthy of being my idol!"

Upon seeing that Lin Yi was evenly matched with Old Demon Xu, his four companions were shocked beyond belief.

Lin Yi's performance had greatly exceeded their expectations and imaginations!

"To think that Senior Brother Lin Yi would be evenly matched with Old Demon Xu!"

"He is the greatest genius I've seen so far!"

"Incredible! Old Demon Xu took out the four of us in two moves, and if it weren't for our heavy armor, we would already be dead. Against someone like that, Senior Brother Lin Yi could actually fight him to a standstill! Senior Brother Lin Yi is too insanely powerful isn't he?"

"There's no need to say any further words, Senior Brother Lin Yi is obviously on a completely different level compared to us!"

As the four of them lay on the ground, they could not help crying out in shock as they watched Lin Yi battle with Old Demon Xu.

Not only was Senior Brother Lin Yi very strong, but he was also indifferent towards life and death.

The four of them thought of the same thing.

Senior Brother Lin Yi was probably the top genius in Five Mountain Sword Sects, even surpassing Linghu Feng!

Some distance away, another pair of eyes watched with shock and disbelief.

It belonged to the one who ran away, Monk Jueyuan.

After successfully luring Old Demon Xu to the disciples of Five Mountain Sword Sects, he originally wanted to leave the place as fast as possible.

However, he could not rest easy before he had personally witnessed their deaths at the hands of Old Demon Xu.

They had seen how he caused the death of the Quanzhen disciple by using him as a meat shield to save his own skin!

Therefore, he secretly returned to watch the battle from a hiding spot.

To think that he would see Lin Yi being an even match for Old Demon Xu, and even nearly perishing together at the last part of the battle!

Although they both survived, Monk Jueyuan nearly cried out in shock at the scene.

"How could this Lin Yi be so powerful?"

"He's actually capable of fighting a second-rate expert as a third-rate expert?"

"How is this possible!"

He was completely shocked, as someone who was capable of fighting higher-classed experts did not exist in the entire righteous faction. Not even the top genius of Shaolin, Master Juexing, was capable of such a feat!

Wudang did not have someone like that either.

Not even among the two giants of the demonic faction, Ming Cult and Sun Moon Holy Cult, did someone like that exist!

But Lin Yi of Huashan could do it.

This fact nearly drove Monk Jueyuan crazy.

Rubbing his eyes repeatedly, he confirmed that he was not hallucinating.

With his talent, Lin Yi was qualified to be the top genius in all of Jianghu!

A great fear arose in his heart.

He had plotted Lin Yi's death.

Would Lin Yi kill him?

Shock and fear eventually left Monk Jueyuan's face, leaving behind only malevolence and killing intent!
