Liu Yan obviously hadn’t expected Li Tao to protect Lin Huaian so much, and a surge of jealousy and anger burned and rushed to his heart.
He sneered and asked Li Tao, “Senior Sister Li, Eldest Senior Brother is now a cripple, may I ask if there is any need for us to be so respectful to him? It would be good enough not to kick him out of the sect immediately, right?”
“Who told you that Eldest Senior Brother is crippled?” Li Tao glanced at Liu Yan.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the training field.
Because Lin Huaian really didn’t become a cripple?
How is this possible? Can someone really find a solution from the tribulation of destiny?
If Lin Huaian really did such a thing, then he is not an ordinary cultivation genius, he should be the future Immortal King!
Lin Huaian was silent on the surface, but in his heart he had already complained about these two people.
He just wanted to silently nurture this swordsmanship master, why did you two have to make things bigger?
I really want to do things in a low-key manner, okay!
Hearing this, Liu Yan laughed lightly: “May I ask why Senior Sister thinks that Eldest Senior Brother has not been crippled?”
Before Li Tao could speak, he spoke again: “I can’t see any spiritual energy existing on Eldest Senior Brother. You must know that I am now in the lower position of the Tongming realm.
Is Senior Sister Li going to tell me that Eldest Senior Brother has broken through the Yuanying and reached the Huashen realm, so I can’t see through him?”
“This…” Li Tao was speechless.
Liu Yan pressed on, his momentum becoming more and more fierce: “Or is Senior Sister unaware that even if the Primordial Saint Body is crippled, it can still emit the aura of the Primordial to muddle the waters and engage in fraud?”
These two questions stumped Li Tao.
Although she privately felt that Lin Huaian’s realm was very high, it always felt a bit far-fetched to prove that Lin Huaian was a cultivation master of the Huashen realm in public, and she really didn’t know about the aura of the Primordial.
Li Tao’s eyes were still indifferent.
She silently looked at Lin Huaian, seemingly indifferent, but actually a little flustered and uneasy.
She looked at Lin Huaian, hoping that he could give her an explanation.
Seeing her flustered appearance, Liu Yan knew that he had won, so he mocked and smiled and said,
“Senior Sister Li, please step aside, otherwise if the two of us fight, even if this cripple Lin Huaian suffers a little aftermath, he will die on the spot.”
In his words, he had already stripped away Lin Huaian’s identity as Eldest Senior Brother.
Seeing this, the other disciples also became suspicious, because was Lin Huaian really just bluffing?
Si Qingxue pursed his lips, and his slender and delicate little hands tightly grabbed Lin Huaian, as if he didn’t plan to let go no matter what.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Huaian, who had become the focus of the audience, after a brief silence, raised his head and looked at Liu Yan with a calm expression:
“Junior Brother Liu, before making such bold claims, how about showing some respect to your senior sisters and senior brothers?”
Since the other party was so aggressive, then he had to start his layout, although he didn’t want to do this at all.
“Respect? What respect? A cripple senior brother? Or a senior sister who protects a cripple senior brother?” Liu Yan said without any mercy,
“After the sect master announces the vacancy of the Eldest Senior Brother’s seat, I will immediately replace it.
By then, no one will remember Lin Huaian anymore, the Tianming Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother will only be me, Liu Yan!”
Lin Huaian looked at Liu Yan, his face without any emotional changes.
The one who was emotionally agitated was Si Qingxue. Lin Huaian could feel that the child’s hand holding his sleeve became more and more forceful, as if he could not bear Liu Yan’s disrespect to Lin Huaian.
“If you want to prove yourself, it’s very simple, Lin Huaian,” Liu Yan smiled slightly,
“Come over and spar with me, just like before, use your Primordial Saint Body to try my Cold Iron Sword?”
His right hand brushed over the blade, and inches of frost and cold air spread from it.
Liu Yan drew out the Cold Iron Sword and held it horizontally in front of him.
This sudden chill and powerful sword energy forced the other disciples to retreat.
Only Lin Huaian and Li Tao could maintain their original state in front of the Cold Iron Sword.
Li Tao didn’t move, which was what Liu Yan expected, but what he didn’t expect was that Lin Huaian also stood firm, as if he hadn’t been affected at all.
The green mountain and embroidered white Daoist robe spread out with the cold wind, Lin Huaian quietly opened his eyes, his eyes full of calm.
This appearance made Liu Yan have to raise his vigilance. Could it be that he really miscalculated?
He didn’t notice that Lin Huaian actually secretly shivered, because this thing was really f*cking cold, besides that, he couldn’t feel anything.
The reason for this was quite simple – the sword energy was for cultivators to see, but Lin Huaian was not a cultivator, so in terms of sword energy used to frighten and repel enemies, Lin Huaian really couldn’t feel anything…
“Junior Brother Liu, you are too impatient,” Lin Huaian barely suppressed the uneasiness and fear in his heart and sighed softly,
“Impatient people are difficult to become great cultivators, let alone you are still a swordsmanship cultivator.”
In the past half a minute, he already had a rudimentary plan in his mind.
If Liu Yan continued to press on, it would be exactly what he wanted.
“Ha, haha,” Liu Yan was suddenly amused. It was the first time he heard someone comment that he was difficult to become a great cultivator.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone’s evaluation of him was that he would be a future swordsmanship giant, and the Refinement Void realm might not be the end.
He laughed so hard that tears were about to flow out, so he coughed twice and reluctantly tidied up his posture and said to Lin Huaian with a smile,
“Then who does Senior Brother Lin think is the future great cultivator? Could it be this Si Qingxue, Junior Brother Si, behind you?”
Si Qingxue was named by Liu Yan, and his delicate body became more and more shrinking, as if he would be blown down by another gust of cold wind.
The child’s eyes were a little evasive, because as expected, what Lin Huaian said just now was just to coax him, right?
Although he didn’t know why Lin Huaian would have this intention, could it just be to find fun with him?
Just as he was thinking this, Li Tao noticed that Lin Huaian’s temperament had quietly changed.
The moon-white silk robe danced with the breeze, and the aura of the Primordial around him was like a tide, endless, as if he was a banished immortal.
Many disciples showed surprised eyes when they saw this, because at this time, Lin Huaian was too much like a powerful figure. In him, they could even see a bit of the temperament that other holy land masters had failed to possess, that was arrogance, that was arrogance, that was seeing the common people of the world as their own, that was… Above the heavens and below, I alone am supreme!
“I said a sentence just now, and now, I repeat it again,” Lin Huaian put his right hand on Si Qingxue, facing the sight of thousands of disciples, without hesitation, without a trace of confusion,
He opened his mouth and said, “Si Qingxue, is the person who is going to become a peerless sword cultivator, even if the true immortal appears in this world, they cannot stop it.”
Liu Yan smiled again, because just now he almost believed Lin Huaian’s nonsense.
If Lin Huaian said it was himself, then he might be bluffed, but Lin Huaian actually said it was Si Qingxue, then he had to laugh out loud.
What is Si Qingxue? He is a waste who has been humiliated by him every time they meet since entering the inner sect.
It’s not good for Lin Huaian to say who it is, why does he have to take Si Qingxue out to be a shield?
The delicate Si Qingxue was a little scared, but the look in Lin Huaian’s eyes was so sincere that he was a little embarrassed.
“You and I spar, I don’t need to personally play,” Lin Huaian pretended to sigh indifferently, “Because even Si Qingxue can easily defeat you.”
Liu Yan thought Lin Huaian was crazy.
Although Si Qingxue was at a loss, he did not speak. Unconsciously, he had already regarded Lin Huaian as the existence second only to his parents in his heart.
“Then how about starting the sparring here?” Liu Yan clapped his hands, “It’s agreed in advance that in today’s sparring, I will not hold back as usual. I want to let all of you here know what the real Three-Morning Sword is!”
“No, it’s the opposite, Junior Brother Liu Yan,” Lin Huaian laughed softly, his voice steady and powerful, like a sky roar resounding in everyone’s hearts, “Today I will teach you what the real way of the sword is!”
