Chapter 85

"Jing Tianlong is using the high-grade martial art, 'Inferno Sword Technique'! This martial art is renowned for its overwhelming power among high-grade martial arts! From the sword light formed by Jing Tianlong's use of this sword technique, it can be seen that his mastery of this martial art has reached a hundred percent!"

"Jing Yan, a martial artist at the half-step innate realm, uses a mid-grade martial art, 'Moonlight Three Waves,' and directly rushes into the sword light of the 'Inferno Sword Technique.' It seems he is planning to make a desperate move!"

On the high platform, among all the distinguished guests present, Lin Nanluo, the patriarch of the Lin family, should be the person with the highest cultivation and status. At this moment, he was squinting his eyes, explaining to the others with great interest.

Although he did not say it outright, his tone clearly showed that he did not have high hopes for Jing Yan, believing that he would not be able to withstand even this attack.

In the red light, the sword curtain formed by Jing Yan's 'Moonlight Three Waves' seemed like a small boat in a raging sea compared to the massive ten-meter-long red sword light condensed by Jing Tianlong, always at risk of capsizing.

Many people who cared about Jing Yan, such as Elder Fourth Jing Tianying and Jing Ziqi, were secretly sweating cold sweat.

However, to everyone's surprise, the seemingly insignificant sword curtain formed by 'Moonlight Three Waves' was not torn apart into pieces by the red light. Instead, it continuously tore through the red sword light.

Jing Yan's figure moved up and down, seemingly without any pattern, but the terrifying red sword light could not seriously injure him.

What was going on?

In fact, except for Jing Yan himself, probably no one present could understand the key.

Jing Tianlong's 'Inferno Sword Technique' was indeed very powerful, and the sword light it formed was extremely terrifying. However, this sword technique also had its flaws. Jing Yan could avoid being torn apart by the red sword light because he exploited the weaknesses of this martial art, finding the vulnerable spots and using 'Moonlight Three Waves' to break through it locally.

By accumulating small victories, he ultimately resisted and neutralized the opponent's attack.

After dozens of breaths, the red sword light disappeared, and Jing Yan stood there unharmed.

"Head of the Lin Family, didn't you say Jing Yan was making a desperate move?" Jing Tianying smiled, looking at Lin Nanluo, whose expression was somewhat awkward.

"Hmph, perhaps Jing Yan just got lucky," Lin Nanluo said, his face slightly red.

Hearing his response to Jing Tianying, laughter immediately spread around.

However, most people on the high platform were also pondering how Jing Yan managed to achieve this.

"Jing Tianlong, you're just that!" Jing Yan smiled, looking at Jing Tianlong.

Jing Tianlong's innate realm cultivation and his formidable primordial energy were indeed terrifying. Jing Yan chose a smart way to avoid direct confrontation with the opponent as much as possible.

"Damn it!" Jing Tianlong gritted his teeth, "You got lucky this time!"

"I don't believe you can withstand this attack again!" Jing Tianlong's aura condensed, and his primordial energy surged once more.

"Swish!" The red longsword in his hand left a trail, moving at an extremely fast speed, and stabbed towards Jing Yan again.

The longsword in his hand was also an exquisite weapon, one grade higher than the Flowing Light Sword Jing Yan used. In terms of weapons, Jing Yan was at a disadvantage.

Around the body of the red longsword, numerous small sword shadows suddenly appeared. Each of these sword shadows was only the size of a palm, but there were so many of them, densely packed together.

At this moment, Lin Nanluo spoke again.

"Good job, worthy of being a student of the Red Lotus Academy. Jing Tianlong has actually cultivated the 'Ten Thousand Dragons Sword Technique,' which is an exquisite martial art, extremely powerful, far surpassing the 'Inferno Sword Technique.'" Lin Nanluo's voice trembled slightly.

The innate realm martial artists on the high platform did not need Lin Nanluo to remind them of the significance of an exquisite martial art.

Even within the few major families in Donglin City, there were very few exquisite martial arts. Any family that obtained an exquisite martial art would treat it as a clan treasure, and usually, only the patriarch or outstanding descendants who made significant contributions to the family would have the opportunity to cultivate it.

Of course, not everyone could successfully cultivate it; they needed to have very high martial arts talent.

"This time, Jing Yan is in serious trouble. The power of an exquisite martial art is not easy to avoid. I dare say, Jing Yan will lose. However, to lose to an innate realm expert using an exquisite martial art at the half-step innate realm is still a worthy defeat," Lin Nanluo said with great certainty.

During the first confrontation between Jing Yan and Jing Tianlong, he did not directly say that Jing Yan would lose to Jing Tianlong. But this time, he firmly stated that Jing Yan would be defeated.

Of course, most people on the high platform shared Lin Nanluo's view.

If Jing Yan could withstand Jing Tianlong's attack using the exquisite martial art 'Ten Thousand Dragons Sword Technique,' it would be truly abnormal.

Even Jing Tianying felt that Jing Yan might lose, hoping only that he would not suffer severe injuries.

At this moment, Jing Yan's expression was also serious. He was well aware of the terrifying nature of Jing Tianlong's attack and knew that Jing Tianlong was using an exquisite martial art, having once reached the innate realm himself.

How could Jing Tianlong have the opportunity to cultivate an exquisite martial art?

After all, Jing Yan had also once been at the innate realm and entered the Divine Wind Academy for cultivation. However, due to his short time at the Divine Wind Academy, he never had the chance to cultivate an exquisite martial art.

"Come on!" Jing Yan shouted loudly.

"Jing Tianlong, do you think you can defeat me with this?"

"Mooncutting Sword Technique!"

Immediately, Jing Yan finally used the high-grade martial art, 'Mooncutting Sword Technique.'

This was the first time he used the repaired 'Mooncutting Sword Technique.'

"Ha ha, Mooncutting Sword Technique, Jing Yan is using the Mooncutting Sword Technique! This is a high-grade martial art with considerable power! However, to use the Mooncutting Sword Technique to counter an innate realm expert's exquisite martial art is too arrogant!" Lin Nanluo promptly provided an explanation.

"Boom!"

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The two martial arts collided in an instant. The two sword lights fiercely pressed against each other.

The 'Mooncutting Sword Technique' formed a shape like a half-moon, while the 'Ten Thousand Dragons Sword Technique' created thousands of red sword shadows.

The collision of martial arts caused the space to tremble.

The overflowing primordial energy stirred up terrifying energy vortices, surging in all directions.

Some vortices even surged to the edge of the square before gradually dissipating.

"What?"

"This is impossible!" Jing Tianlong's calm face showed a hint of shock.

Because, under normal circumstances, his 'Ten Thousand Dragons Sword Technique' should have crushed Jing Yan's 'Mooncutting Sword Technique' with overwhelming force. But now, the two martial arts were actually at a stalemate.
