Chapter 2202 - 2203: Only Speed Is Unbreakable

So Ling Zhenfei also pondered in his heart whether he should develop in this direction in the future. Would his strength improve after concealing his Northern Spiritual Energy?

This was what Ling Zhenfei thought the moment he engaged with the opponent, but he didn't have time to think further because the opponent's speed was simply too fast.

Since the opponent's speed was rapid and no Northern Spiritual Energy emanated from the sword, all Ling Zhenfei could sense was the sound of the sword slicing through the air.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He used the Boundless Blade Technique to withstand a dozen moves. Although the Boundless Blade Technique is also extremely exquisite and powerful, after all, in martial arts across the world, speed is unparalleled.

Though Ling Zhenfei's Boundless Blade Technique was highly sophisticated, unfortunately, Ling Zhenfei could not keep up with the opponent's speed.

Bang!

Ling Zhenfei was slashed across the body by this person's sword, and the powerful Northern Spiritual Energy on the sword took effect.

Ling Zhenfei's protective Northern Spiritual Energy was cut open by this sword, and after it was pierced, it cut through Ling Zhenfei's skin, and then this Northern Spiritual Energy sent Ling Zhenfei flying.

Ling Zhenfei felt a chill on his body and immediately knew he had been struck. Then he felt a liquid flowing down from where he was hit.

Ling Zhenfei felt the Northern Spiritual Energy on this sword seep into his body instantaneously, and it was an extremely cold sensation.

Ling Zhenfei immediately used his Northern Spiritual Energy to block, preventing that person's Northern Spiritual Energy from invading his body.

Ling Zhenfei was greatly shocked, never expecting there to be so much in that person's single strike.

The Northern Spiritual Energy on this person's sword carried a cold aura.

Fortunately, this sword only grazed his body, causing bleeding, while the cold Northern Spiritual Energy invaded his body, subjecting Ling Zhenfei to an extremely powerful attack.

"Kid, how does this taste of my sword feel, not good, right?" Jinying smiled at Ling Zhenfei.

Jinying didn't look very old, but he assumed the demeanor of an elder.

Ling Zhenfei got up from the ground and said, "This sword is indeed formidable."

Jinying said, "You're not bad either. At such a young age, to withstand ten of my moves, that counts as quite a feat."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked within. Earlier, he felt like he had been defending for a very long time, yet it was only ten moves.

Ling Zhenfei was extremely shocked, thinking, could this be the gap between him and a top expert in the Pursue Heart State?

Ling Zhenfei said, "I was just careless for a moment earlier. Let's go again."

Jinying smirked coldly and said, "If we go again, it won't be as simple as making you suffer one sword strike."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Stop the nonsense. I'm not so easy to defeat either."

After saying this, Ling Zhenfei could plainly see the Killing Aura emanating from Jinying's face—a terrifyingly lethal intent indicating he was ready to resort to a deadly move.

This deadly move was certainly terrifying; Ling Zhenfei was well aware. Just from that previous sword, Ling Zhenfei knew the Northern Spiritual Energy was incredibly powerful.

Jinying said, "You two come together, so I won't be troubled."

Ling Zhenfei looked at Anna. Now that Anna had just been released from the prison cart, it wasn't clear how much strength she still had left, but even if her strength were restored to its peak, it would be quite formidable.

Ling Zhenfei said, "No need, I'm enough on my own."

Anna was somewhat surprised upon hearing this because this was a great opportunity. Two people had a better chance than one.

Anna, being an Elemental Mage, could unleash an elemental attack on Jinying, using Wood Elemental Power to attack him.

But Ling Zhenfei directly refused, which Anna didn't expect.

Jinying laughed loudly and said, "Interesting, interesting. If that's the case, I'll send you on your way."

With that, the man darted towards Ling Zhenfei, his speed just as fast, thrusting a sword at Ling Zhenfei.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei didn't seem to have any other options; now he could only make a desperate gamble, knowing he was outmatched but had to block it.

Ling Zhenfei used his Sky-Splitting Ten Blades against Jinying, his powerful Northern Spiritual Energy spreading rapidly.

Ling Zhenfei was still unable to retract his Northern Spiritual Energy, and he felt that attacking this way was extremely powerful both in momentum and attack range.

However, the opponent didn't pay any heed to Ling Zhenfei's move, dodging around to launch an attack on him, rendering Ling Zhenfei's Sky-Splitting Ten Blades ineffective.

Bang!

After a few moves, Ling Zhenfei was struck by another sword, sending him flying backward.

Ling Zhenfei realized the gulf in skill was significant. Continuing like this ensured his demise.

Just as he thought of this, he saw Jinying's sword heading toward him, aiming straight for his body.

Ling Zhenfei was greatly alarmed; having been knocked into the air, how could he counterattack while airborne?

Unable to defend against this, being slashed by the sword would cause only a minor injury, but if he got pierced by the sword, death was a real possibility.

Suddenly, Ling Zhenfei noticed some changes in the Green Grass on the ground.

What was originally just a small tree suddenly grew larger.

It transformed into a tree-like plant that shielded Ling Zhenfei, and the approaching sword struck it.

The sword pierced through the tree, but most of its Northern Spiritual Energy and speed were depleted, posing little threat to Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei crashed heavily to the ground, looking up to see the towering plant shrink back into a ground plant.

This plant was naturally summoned by Anna, who had now joined the battle. With a wave of her hands, the plants from the ground shot up one after another towards Jinying.

Each plant appeared like an arrow, piercing up from the ground.

The surrounding people retreated in fear, afraid of being hit by the plants.

But Jinying seemed indifferent, slightly manipulating the Northern Spiritual Energy around him, lightly pressing his left hand on the ground, releasing a massively powerful Northern Spiritual Energy.

The grass that grew from the ground was instantly bent by his Northern Spiritual Energy.

Ling Zhenfei was deeply shocked, having never imagined that this person's strength could achieve such an effect. At this moment, Jinying charged toward Anna with one swift move.

Anna certainly couldn't match this person; with a flick of her hand, vines sprang up before her, shielding her body.

But Jinying's sword swung in, slashing the plants in front of Anna in half.

Anna tried to create another shield, but Jinying's speed was too fast; before she could make her next move, Jinying was already upon her.

Bang!

Anna was also swept away by Jinying's sword, and with concern for Anna's safety, Ling Zhenfei charged once more. With the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades in his hands, he swung at Jinying.
