95: Chapter 95: Something, but not much!

Could they have all been seeing things?

Among the crowd, Baili Feng suddenly let out a loud laugh, his face indescribably pleased, “Haha, I’ve said it before, Brother Lin Xiu is an unparalleled expert.

You shortsighted people just wouldn’t believe it.

What do you have to say now?”

In the beginning, when he introduced Lin Xiu to these people, they scoffed at him, even suggesting that Lin Xiu was his relative and he was deliberately advertising for him.

Well, aren’t they getting slapped in the face now?

“How is this possible?!”

“This lad called Lin Xiu, he actually possesses such combat power?”

Inside the pavilion, Cao Kun wore an expression of disbelief as Cao Wushuang had been defeating strong opponents, almost invincible among these heavenly prides.

Could this nobody pose a significant threat to Cao Wushuang?

“Haha, truly, as the land changes, new talents emerge.

Such an extraordinary genius, and I’m hearing his name for the first time!”

Yun Yi, the Emperor of Yun Country, was in an excellent mood, not expecting that after a period of darkness, a Lin Xiu could emerge at such a critical moment and take the lead!

“This person’s origins are unknown, and his identity is quite suspicious!”

Cao Kun’s face darkened, “Your Majesty, I recommend a thorough investigation into this person’s identity to ensure that no malevolent individuals have slipped in, causing disturbance to the banquet.”

“At this Talent Night Banquet, only those with invitations issued by our Royal Family can attend, how could there be someone of unknown origin?”

Princess Yunxi mocked from the side, “Great General is so eager to throw dirt on Lin Xiu, could it be that he’s afraid his son will lose?”

“Lose?”

Cao Kun smirked, “Wushuang hasn’t even used half of his strength.

It would be a fool’s dream for that boy to think he could win.”

Half of his strength?

Yun Yi was secretly shocked.

They had been fighting to this extent, and Cao Wushuang still had reserves?

“Indeed, you’ve hidden some tricks up your sleeve, but it’s still not enough!”

“You’re far from being able to contend with me!”

At that moment, on the Battle Platform, Cao Wushuang’s eyes sharpened, and the constraints on his body seemed to be completely lifted, as he unleashed his full strength!

“What, this is Cao Wushuang’s real strength?”

Seeing the surge in Cao Wushuang’s qi on the Battle Platform, both Nie Hanlou and Wei Chi also showed a look of horror on their faces.

Have they been fighting just half of Cao Wushuang’s strength?

He had been hiding the other half?

And now it was all laid bare?

“Cao Wushuang, that Lao Liu!”

Bai Xiu was so angry he was almost spitting blood, thinking that Lin Yi had secured the victory, yet unexpectedly, Lao Liu, Cao Wushuang, had hidden his skills so deeply!

“Lao Liu?”

Little Jin, on the other hand, had a teasing smile on his face, “This Cao Wushuang, in front of Lin Yi, can only be considered a little Liu at best!”

“Compared to being Lao Liu, if Lin Yi claims to be second, no one would dare claim to be first!”

These words from Little Jin baffled Bai Xiu completely.

What did he mean?

Was Lin Yi the real Lao Liu?

Feeling the climbing qi of Cao Wushuang, Lin Yi merely smiled faintly and said, “Not bad, but not much!”

Having said that, Lin Yi swung his sword directly at him!

One Sword Kills!

At that moment, Lin Yi unleashed his Sword Formation and Sword Intent all at once, engulfing Cao Wushuang!

“It’s that sword!”

Below the stage, Baili Feng’s pupils contracted sharply.

He had been defeated by Lin Yi’s sword.

But he knew that Lin Yi had not been intent on killing back then, so he had survived!

But now, Lin Yi was not holding back, and with the Lifebound Spirit Sword in his possession, the power of this move, One Sword Kills, was incomparable to the past!

At this moment, Lin Yi gave off the impression of being a treasure sword that could pierce the heavens and cleave the earth!

Even Cao Wushuang was shaken by Lin Yi’s strike and hastily used his War Spear to block the sword light!

Clang!

The sound of metal bursting echoed, and the platform within a radius of several meters collapsed, creating a huge pit!

Splurt!

A mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs burst forth from Cao Wushuang, who quickly used the War Spear to brace against the ground; yet even so, he still slid across the ground, leaving a trench tens of meters long!

Even the hands holding the War Spear couldn’t help but tremble violently.

In his eyes, there was nothing but shock!

If it weren’t for his desperate defense, he would have died under that sword!

The banquet hall had fallen utterly silent.

Bai Xiu’s expression was akin to that of an imbecile, muttering, “He’s really an exceptional Lao Liu, damn it…”

Only Little Jin showed an unsurprised demeanor.

Always as steady as an old dog.

“Huh?

He can still stand?”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrow, he had held back with that strike, after all, Bai Xiu’s intention was to capture Cao Wushuang, not to slay him.

If he were to kill Cao Wushuang, that would be like igniting a fuse, and his intervention would have been meaningless.

Based on Lin Yi’s estimation, Cao Wushuang should have been completely down by now, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Cao Wushuang trembled with rage, a surge of intense humiliation flooding his mind and unexpectedly causing his Qi Fortune to shatter the bottleneck at this moment!

Cultivation breakthrough on the spot!

He advanced directly to the Second Level of Grandmaster Realm!

“What, he broke through?”

The Heavenly Prides of Yun Country below the Battle Platform were dumbstruck.

In just these short tens of seconds, continuous turns of events had already occurred atop the Battle Platform, too damn thrilling!

It was almost more than their little hearts could take!

“Wow, damn, that worked, Senior Brother Lin Yi didn’t screw this up, did he?”

Bai Xiu’s eyes bugged out; he had thought everything was set at this point, how could he have expected that Cao Wushuang would actually be forced into a breakthrough by Lin Yi!

Shit!

Now the outcome was hard to predict again!

“Haha, my son truly is the Child of Destiny!”

Up in the pavilion, Cao Kun laughed wildly as if mad.

Breaking through under such adverse conditions, if that wasn’t the Child of Destiny, what was?

“That’s possible?

He really walked into some dogshit luck, damn it!”

Next to him, Yun Yi’s complexion was iron-grey, yet inside he felt countless imaginary grass mud horses drifting past—is that brat’s luck too good, or does it mean the Yun Country Royal Family truly has run out of Qi Fortune, and even the heavens favor the Cao Family?

The gods help Cao but not Yun!

“Hahaha…

Lin Xiu, you never dreamed I would break through at the last moment!”

Cao Wushuang laughed wildly with a crazed look on his face, “This is destiny!”

“You are destined to fail…”

However, before he could finish speaking, with a “swoosh”, Lin Yi had already launched another sword strike at him!

“Seeking death…”

Cao Wushuang waved his War Spear, eager to redeem his previous disgrace.

Clang!

A deafening noise rang out.

What followed was a scene that made everyone drop their jaws in shock.

Cao Wushuang’s body, like a sandbag, traced a beautiful arc across the Battle Platform, with man and spear crashing heavily into the lake and stirring up astonishing waves.

Looking at the water splashing everywhere on the lake, Lin Yi stroked his chin, “You didn’t really think that just because you’ve advanced to the Second Realm of Grandmaster, you can win, did you?

No way?”
