Chapter 279 Xin Ci VS Lin Ye Xing

While Ji Honghao had slightly more hope for Li Fulong, he unfortunately met Lin Yexing.

Li Fulong, knowing he was no match for Lin Yexing, directly conceded and stepped off the Immortal Martial Stage.

Lin Yexing's expression showed dissatisfaction at Li Fulong's easy surrender.

He had come to the Holy Land Martial Competition hoping to spar with masters who could ignite his fighting spirit.

Unfortunately, Lin Yexing's opponents in every match had been far weaker than him, which greatly disappointed him.

However, since Li Fulong had already surrendered, no matter how unhappy he was, Lin Yexing couldn't act out of line in front of the disciples of the five great holy lands.

Lin Yexing sneered dismissively and also turned to walk off the Immortal Martial Stage.

Yet, his gaze was fixed on Dugu Yunmeng, Changyang Gushuo, and even Li Jianxing, a fellow disciple of the Burial Sword Pavilion, his eyes filled with fervent battle intent.

Only these three were qualified to be his opponents, Lin Yexing's opponents!

He was already eager to have a great battle with these three.

Ji Honghao, on the main platform, could already foresee the dire defeat of the Killing Heart Holy Court. Now, only Mu Ci remained from the Killing Heart Holy Court disciples.

Although Gu Linyue held high hopes for her, Ji Honghao didn't dare to be overly optimistic. Kuaishu Ge

However, Mu Ci was relatively lucky. In several rounds of matches, she had not encountered Changyang Gushuo, Dugu Yunmeng, or these four peerless prodigies.

There were not many disciples left in the other holy lands. All disciples from Xuankong Mountain had been eliminated in advance.

The Northern Cold Holy Land and the Burial Sword Pavilion only had two disciples remaining, while the Divine Firmament Palace had three.

Adding Mu Ci, the sole remaining disciple of the Killing Heart Holy Court, there were only eight disciples left who could continue in the Holy Land Martial Competition.

This meant that as long as Mu Ci won one more match, she would secure a spot in the top five.

This was the belief held by the disciples of the Killing Heart Holy Court and Ji Honghao.

Unfortunately, Mu Ci's next opponent was Lin Yexing.

Upon hearing this news, except for Gu Linyue, everyone else from the Killing Heart Holy Court couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Mu Ci.

They had witnessed Lin Yexing's terrifying might.

He had first instantly killed Su Mo, the strongest disciple of their Killing Heart Holy Court, with a single sword strike, and then had used his formidable strength to awe the entire audience, forcing Li Fulong to surrender before the fight even began.

"It's over. Junior Sister Mu Ci actually has to face this calamity..."

"Now all hope for the Killing Heart Holy Court to enter the top five is gone."

"I think Junior Sister Mu Ci will probably surrender directly like Li Fulong."

"Alas, there's nothing that can be done. After all, peerless prodigies like Lin Yexing are not someone we can contend with. If I were on the stage, I would also choose to surrender."

The disciples of the Killing Heart Holy Court spoke with worried expressions.

Lin Yexing flew into the air and landed on the Immortal Martial Stage, standing there with arrogant posture. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he didn't take Xin Ci seriously.

In Lin Yexing's view, even the strongest disciple of the Killing Heart Holy Court, Su Mo, couldn't withstand his sword, let alone this ordinary disciple.

Therefore, he only wanted to advance to the next round quickly and have his longed-for battles with those other prodigies.

However, to his slight surprise, this female disciple from the Killing Heart Holy Court was not intimidated by his aura the moment she stepped onto the stage, unlike Su Mo.

Xin Ci's expression was cold, her eyes as calm as still water. She looked at him without the slightest trace of fear, seemingly not intending to surrender.

Lin Yexing's eyes flickered. He felt that this female disciple from the Killing Heart Holy Court had a resolute state of mind and was not intimidated by his outward sword intent.

However, such an opponent still couldn't pique his interest.

Seeing that his opponent was a woman, Lin Yexing showed some restraint. He did not use his top-grade true artifact, the Azure Profound Sword, but instead, he brought his two fingers together and pointed forward. A sword light erupted, piercing the void and heading directly towards Xin Ci.

Skyward Sword Technique, One Sword Buries the Sea.

This sword move was astonishingly powerful, and everyone believed Xin Ci couldn't block it.

Li Fulong and Li Fulan, standing below the Immortal Martial Stage, couldn't help but worry for Xin Ci.

Ji Honghao, on the other hand, shook his head helplessly, lamenting that the last remaining disciple of the Killing Heart Holy Court was also about to be eliminated.

But just as everyone thought Xin Ci was bound to lose, Xin Ci suddenly raised a finger in front of her chest and casually swiped forward.

Several starlight-drenched chains materialized out of thin air, coiling around Xin Ci and forming a cage of chains.

Bang, bang, bang!

The sword light struck the chain cage, emitting a series of violent sounds, but Xin Ci's Sixteen Star Moon Chains remained unharmed. Instead, Lin Yexing's sword light dissipated.

The disciples of the holy lands who witnessed this scene widened their eyes. They hadn't expected this seemingly frail young girl from the Killing Heart Holy Court to block Lin Yexing's sword move.

However, Lin Yexing's eyes only wavered slightly, his expression unchanged. He merely felt that Xin Ci's ability to block his casual sword strike showed some skill.

Following that, Lin Yexing pointed again. On his side of the Immortal Martial Stage, thousands of sharp swords condensed from Qingyuan sword intent suddenly appeared, descending like a dense pear blossom rain, attacking Xin Ci.

Skyward Sword Technique, One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand!

"I'll see how you block this move!" Lin Yexing declared confidently.

But Xin Ci did not reply. Instead, she took a step forward.

Around her, thousands of void sword blades also materialized.

Void Condensing Sword Technique!

Lin Yexing was stunned. This woman also knew a similar sword technique.

Tens of thousands of sharp swords crisscrossed the Immortal Martial Stage, two sword rains clashing against each other, producing grating sounds of impact.

Xin Ci's void sword blades and Lin Yexing's myriad sword rain were evenly matched, with neither gaining the upper hand.

However, Xin Ci had not only used the Void Condensing Sword Technique. Her Sixteen Star Moon Chains had transformed into countless tiny light spots and quietly approached Lin Yexing while they were engaged in the sword rain confrontation.

Now was the time to activate the Sixteen Star Moon Chains. Xin Ci softly shouted, "Rise!"

Lin Yexing then discovered that several tiny light spots had appeared on his clothes. These flickering light spots instantly transformed into multiple chains, binding his body.

Xin Ci's maneuver caught Lin Yexing off guard. But it wasn't over yet.

Taking advantage of Lin Yexing's distraction, the top-grade true artifact, the Profound Sun Sword, appeared in Xin Ci's hand. The scorching Indestructible Phoenix Flame then enveloped the sword.

With a single move, the Red Lotus Phoenix Sword, she slashed towards the temporarily immobilized Lin Yexing.

Lin Yexing's expression turned serious at this point. He realized he had underestimated this female disciple from the Killing Heart Holy Court.

He also recognized that Xin Ci was the most formidable disciple of the Killing Heart Holy Court.

Forced into this situation, Lin Yexing no longer held back and finally brought out his top-grade true artifact, the Azure Profound Sword.

Under Lin Yexing's soul power control, the Azure Profound Sword cut through the Sixteen Star Moon Chains binding his body as easily as slicing tofu.

Breaking free from the chains, Lin Yexing gripped the Azure Profound Sword and swung it back.

The azure sword light was swift as lightning, and with a single strike, it extinguished Xin Ci's released Red Lotus Phoenix.
