Chapter 150: Ye Jian's Sword

  With an unconscious shake of his head, Xia Lin continued walking forward.

  "Huh?"

  "He wants to go in."

  "You're really asking for it,"

  "Hey, it's always like this the first time here, after he gets hit by sword energy a few times, he'll behave."

  Some were fortunate, some were sarcastic and coldly laughed, while others watched the show. The middle-aged man, however, looked down on him with even more disdain, saying: "Indeed, a young whippersnapper who doesn't listen to adults will suffer losses right before his eyes."

  The arrival of summer brings a clear sense of the emotions around me, and for a time, I have gained a deeper understanding of people's hearts.

  "Brush!"

  Xia Lin's advancing figure came to an abrupt halt as his sleeve was grasped by someone.

  He looked down and saw that it was the young man named Ye Jian, who was now seriously looking at him. "Friend, on that distant gate, there is the sword aura of Master Huo. If you don't return to the Origin Realm, no one can defeat it, and anyone will be blown back. Be careful."

  In an instant, Xia Lin had a good impression of this guy named Ye Jian.

  A decent young man, a swordsman is usually one who loves to take risks and won't back down after being defeated once. Only after trying it out personally will he retreat knowing the difficulty. Otherwise, wouldn't it be laughable if he were to give up just because of others' words?

  Ye Jian obviously knew this too, so he called Xia Lin to be careful instead of retreating.

  Xia Lin smiled calmly and looked at him, saying: "In the future, if you can't find your master, I can take you as my apprentice."

  After finishing speaking, Xia Lin turned around and left, leaving Ye Jian in astonishment.

  Everyone was shocked, this young man has a big tone. Ye Jian is not a rich family son. At the age of 18, he rushed into the Condensed Sea Realm. His innate talent absolutely belongs to the top class, which is also why the Jian family wants to accept him as an apprentice.

  Although Ye Jian was repeatedly refused when he wanted to acknowledge Huo Jian as his master, this cannot negate his talent and strength.

  Now even stray cats and dogs can come and claim him as their master?

  Especially looking at this young man who is only about twenty years old, obviously not much older than Ye Jian, what qualifications does he have to be his master?

  "Hmph. A young whippersnapper, speaking loudly without shame." The middle-aged man sneered and said to the surrounding crowd: "This guy is extremely arrogant, I don't know which rich family's son he is, probably wanting to make Ye Jianyi retreat after knowing it's difficult, so that he can be the only one to pay respects and become a disciple. He has a bad heart."

  When a middle-aged man said so, everyone finally understood and pointed out in unison.

  "Too evil at heart."

  "You're still young and already have a belly full of bad water."

  Ye Jian looked up at Xia Lin, wearing a white robe, with an inexplicable aura, even more so. Ye Jian felt a sense of majesty, one that was not even present on the body of Huo Qianbei.

  Shaking his head, he threw off this absurd idea and Ye Jian said in a low voice: "Thank you."

  Xia Lin smiled calmly and didn't look back. Looking at the wooden door in front of him, there were countless sword auras covering the surroundings, sealing off the entire courtyard.

  It's not just the gate, the entire courtyard is filled with sword energy!

  As soon as the summer arrived, his face changed suddenly, no, this sword energy was not for any disciple assessment. Underneath those soft and gentle sword energies that could blow people away, there was a hidden terrifying endless killing intent. Once this killing intent was triggered, it would bring about a boundless and overwhelming sword energy.

  Just like that move when facing Jiang He on that day.

  "What's going on? Could it be that Huo Jian is in danger recently?" Xia Lin furrowed his brow, lost in thought.

  "Look, this guy is no good, he's already scared of the wooden door." The middle-aged man took advantage of the opportunity to say, "With such abilities, he still wants to recruit Ye Jian as a disciple. It's too fake, and I'm afraid he'll be kicked out soon."

  Everyone echoed in agreement.

  Ye Jian and several disciples kneeling at the door were carefully looking at Xia Lin.

  Those people are unclear, but they are clear that almost when approaching the door one meter away, they will be directly blasted out. Xia Lin's situation of standing there without any reaction is quite strange, could it be that he is confronting this sword energy head-on?

  Everyone's eyes lit up at this thought. If he could keep up with the sword energy, it would prove his strength to be above that of all the other disciples here.

  But at this moment, a sigh came, and Xia Lin took a step forward.

  "Whoosh!"

  A dazzling sword energy suddenly shot out and struck Xia Lin's body. Xia Lin didn't need to dodge at all, letting the sword energy strike him freely.

  "Boom!"

  With an aura of sword energy surrounding him, Xia Lin shook his clothes and took another step forward, leaving the crowd in a daze.

  "What... what did I just see?"

  "My eyes are blurry."

  "No, it's true, the sword energy struck his body, but he didn't react at all?"

  "No, no, it's wrong, there is a reaction, I saw him dusting himself off."

  "Heavens, another powerful one?"

  A commotion broke out, and the middle-aged man was even more stunned, his eyes wide with wonder, as he watched Xia Lin walk away step by step, his intestines regretting it.

  This young man is absolutely a strong one!

  It seems that there are strong players from Jinghai Peak who have come to participate in the competition, and maybe they will have a chance to enter the top 100.

  Ye Jian and several others also lit up, how long had it been since they saw someone who could walk in? Almost all those who came to pay homage were directly blown out, no one knew what the situation was like continuing down. And at this time, this young man, was taking their dreams, step by step, walking forward.

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  Innumerable sword energies came crashing down, only to be lightly brushed aside by Xia Lin, leaving no dust behind.

  It seems that he has become aware of Xia Lin's strength, and the speed at which the sword energy shoots out is getting faster and faster. Most of it is slapped down by Xia Lin with one palm, and occasionally a few sword energies will leak through and attack him, but they cannot cause any harm.

  "What a solid sword formation." Xia Lin praised.

  He leisurely walked to the front of the gate and Xia Lin pushed open the courtyard door with a creak.

  "The door is open!"

  "What incredible strength! Is this a result of passing Elder Hao's test?"

  "In theory, I've passed... but with this ability, is it still necessary to find a master?"

  "Yes, look at the tone he used to speak to Ye Jian earlier. He's clearly putting himself on the same level as Huo Jian, isn't he? Another hidden expert?"

  While everyone was amazed and discussing it, a cold and murderous intent suddenly enveloped the entire scene!

  Everyone looked at this side with terror, the gate in front of them seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast, its bloody mouth wide open, ready to swallow everyone in one bite. This courtyard, which normally looked extremely gentle, was now shrouded in murderous intent and appeared extraordinarily menacing.

  "Trouble, it's activated..." Xia Lin muttered to himself. The reason he didn't counterattack was that he was afraid of activating this sword array, but unexpectedly, when he pushed open the courtyard door, it still got activated.

  No way, sword arrays and all that. He doesn't understand it at all.

  Having felt the power of the sword array, it had already reached the peak of Qingyun's second transformation! Apparently, this sword array had cost Ho Jian a lot of effort. However, what kind of sacred being could make Ho Jian so vigilant?

  The momentum is gathering stronger and stronger. The people around had already been frightened pale, Xia Lin smiled bitterly, "Huo Jian, it's only been a month since we parted ways at Huangquan, and now we meet again. You won't treat an old friend like this, will you?"

  "Huh?"

  A voice of doubt rose, and Huo Jianpu's solid figure slowly walked out of the courtyard. Looking at this twenty-year-old young master in front of him, his face was somewhat puzzled, apparently, in the Huangquan Secret Realm, he had never seen this person's appearance.

  "Only two people can hear this voice," Xia Lin said softly, "I am Xia Lin, where is Yi Rong?"

  Huo Jian's eyes widened in surprise, and after sensing the aura on Xia's body, he suddenly showed a look of pleasant surprise: "Really you?"

  Xia Lin smiled lightly and said, "Let's go inside and talk, it's not very convenient here."

  "Hmm." Huo Jian glanced at the crowd guarding the entrance, revealing a bitter smile, especially when he saw Ye Jian, his face showed a hint of melancholy, and then led Xia Lin into the courtyard.

  The gate closed again with a loud bang, leaving behind a crowd of people in stunned silence.

  Just now, the sword aura was pressing down on everyone, and each person felt despair and crisis, their hairs standing on end. Now that the sword aura has dissipated, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

  "It's too terrifying... That sword aura just now."

  "Yes, this young man remains unfazed in the face of this sword aura."

  "Cut, didn't you hear? Huo is a good friend, no wonder he dares to speak so much to Ye Jian. Looks like another strong Return to Origin realm cultivator."

  The middle-aged man beside him slapped himself twice in frustration. That's a Return to Origin Realm! An existence that absolutely has hope of entering the top ten of the Famous Sword Conference, what a great opportunity, was ruined by his own stinky mouth.

  Let alone everyone's reaction, Xia was now leisurely appreciating the scenery in the small courtyard of Huo Jian.

  You can't say, although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. This small courtyard, although less than 100 square meters, has everything it should have, and looks like a beautiful landscape with a unique charm.

  "Summer arrives, how did you come?" Huo Jian bitterly smiled and said, "And...also disguise yourself like this?"

  "Of course I'll be attending the Famous Swords Conference." Xia Lin smiled brightly.

  "No way." Huo Jian said in surprise, he was clear that Xia Lin had exceptional talent, but he was not a sword cultivator. Although he had a terrifying sword move, "Sword Pointing to the Mountain", it was something he learned from Qi Tian. The truly shocking martial skills were the punch and claw he displayed, extremely violent.

  "Cough, cough." Xia Lin reminded, "The first place in the Famous Sword Conference comes with a fourth-grade Xuan treasure."

  "Oh, I see." Huo Jian suddenly realized and recalled the scene where Jiang He wielded a long spear and slaughtered all around him. Suddenly it became clear that with a four-star Xuanbao, Xia Lin's strength would be even more formidable.

  "Why are you still disguising yourself?"

  Xia Lin shrugged: "It's still the Jiang family, because of the existence of the Jiang family in Jingzhou, Heifeng Fort will trigger a big war at any time. They must not be allowed to know that I have come out."

  "What's your name now?" asked Huo Jian.

  "Jiang Li." Xia Lin smiled with a slight curl of his lips.

  Huo Jian: "......"

  "Are you sure, you came to Jianye City not to do bad things?" Huo Jian looked at him with surprise and uncertainty. Although he was dull, it didn't mean he was stupid. Good guy, disguising himself was one thing, taking a fake name was another, but what's the meaning of taking a surname Jiang? Once something happened, wouldn't this be slapping the Jiang family in the face?
