Chapter 221 Another Path to Death Appears
At the beginning of Gu Xuan's "Man and Sword as One" technique, he was temporarily at a disadvantage because he was the one in control.
Even the slightest collision would send shivers down his spine.
Yet, even under these circumstances, Gu Xuan's understanding of swordsmanship improved rapidly.
Isn't it just unbearable pain?
Compared to the improvement in strength, it is merely a necessary sacrifice.
Amidst the intense pain of the clash of swords and halberds, Gu Xuan's understanding of the Pure Yang Sword was also rapidly improving.
They gradually went from barely managing to hold their own to being evenly matched, but that was all they could manage.
Unless he uses power other than swordsmanship.
His own inherent abilities can only support him to exert his current combat power.
After another collision, both sides stopped moving simultaneously.
The Pure Yang Sword and the Ocean Trident floated silently in mid-air.
Two streaks of light descended from the two weapons, and finally, Gu Xuan and Lina appeared in everyone's sight.
Gu Xuan's face was deathly pale. In order to gain control of the unity of man and sword, Gu Xuan suffered the same damage as the Pure Yang Sword. Although he didn't feel anything in his body, he was definitely in pain.
However, the advantage is that it was just a battle, but his understanding of swordsmanship has reached a new level, no less than that of Chen Xin.
He may be slightly inferior to Lina, but given enough time, he will surely surpass her.
Looking at Lina again, her human-halberd combination is based on the halberd, while she herself hides within the ocean trident to control the halberd in battle.
Aside from the huge depletion of his soul power and mental energy, he didn't suffer any obvious damage.
But the Ocean Trident is different.
The Pure Yang Sword was, after all, considered by the Asura Divine Sense to be a super artifact.
There is no weapon in Douluo Continent that can rival it yet.
Although Gu Xuan suppressed the power of the Pure Yang Sword, the sword's inherent hardness could not be changed.
Lina is fine, but the Ocean Trident is covered in sword marks.
There wasn't a single spot on the entire halberd where you could make a move; it was covered in sword marks.
"Haha, it seems I'm still the better player!"
Although Gu Xuan's face was pale, his smile was extremely flamboyant.
This was the first time he had achieved this without using any talismans or the power of the Pure Yang Sword, so how could he not be happy?
"Hmph, you're only winning because of your martial spirit. Otherwise, it's hard to say who would win or lose."
Lina looked terrible.
Her trident was on the verge of breaking. If the fighting continued, the only outcome would be that the trident would shatter and she would be severely injured.
"What a madman!"
Seeing Gu Xuan's frighteningly pale face, Lina's expression softened slightly.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Gu Xuan had indeed proven his strength.
Moreover, he defeated her in her area of expertise.
This human is indeed terrifyingly strong; both his talent and martial spirit are almost monstrous.
But they had an agreement that if she lost—
"Alright, you can go now!"
Gu Xuan stretched and didn't rush to recover his composure.
He hadn't experienced this situation in a long time, and he planned to use this state to fish and see if anyone would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
"Wh-what?"
Lina wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. How could Gu Xuan actually tell her to leave?
Wasn't he captured me just for my soul ring and soul bone?
Now that she's lost, shouldn't she be made to sacrifice herself or something?
As the Crowned Mermaid, would she break her promise as the princess of the ocean?
At worst, I'll just die!
Compared to humans, soul beasts are actually more trustworthy.
"I've lost interest in your spirit rings. But since you've been a pretty good whetstone, why not let you off the hook?"
"This is only once. If there's a next time, even if I don't need your spirit rings or spirit bones, I can still give them to my maids."
Gu Xuan wasn't completely devoid of humanity. Although Lina was forced to work, she did help him master the method of becoming one with the sword.
And in order not to hurt him, I had indeed tried to dissuade him repeatedly.
For this reason alone, Gu Xuan should spare her life, but only this once.
Below!
Upon hearing Gu Xuan mention that he wanted to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring for his maid, everyone's gaze towards Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan changed.
Previously, people would have thought it was shameful for Ye Lingling's Dugu Yan, as the daughter of a powerful clan and the grandson of a titled Douluo, to become the personal maid of a seven-year-old child.
But now they not only don't feel ashamed of this, they wish they could take their place.
Feeling the intense gazes of those below, Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng both proudly raised their heads.
What are these? They heard from Dugu Bo that Gu Xuan would arrange for them to sacrifice 100,000-year-old soul beasts after they broke through to Soul Venerable or Soul Sect.
They might doubt if others said this, but they believed Gu Xuan 100%.
So much so that while setting up the sect, they were also cultivating. Ye Lingleng had already broken through to level 30, and Dugu Yan had reached level 38, close to level 39.
It can be said that the two of them have gone all out for the 100,000-year soul ring.
If others looked at Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng with envy and jealousy, then Ning Rongrong looked at them with hatred.
She had also heard that Ning Fengzhi had prepared a soul bone for her, which was to allow her to absorb a soul ring with a total lifespan of 100,000 years, in order to see if she could break through the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in one fell swoop.
But even now, she hasn't absorbed a single soul bone, while these two have already prepared a 100,000-year soul ring.
On what grounds?
Just because they're in cahoots with that bad guy Gu Xuan?
Even Tang San couldn't help but look at Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng with envy. Although he didn't want to admit it, the two of them were really well treated.
Even he, who possessed a 100,000-year-old soul bone, couldn't help but feel envious.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lengling clearly felt Ning Rongrong's unfriendly gaze. They turned to look at Ning Rongrong, not saying anything to lower their status.
Instead, he flashed a bright smile.
This laughter, instead of being a joke, infuriated Ning Rongrong. It was definitely showing off, absolutely showing off!
Just as he was about to say something, everything went black and he fainted.
Ning Fengzhi sighed and reached out to put Ning Rongrong on a chair. Only now did he realize that the people around Gu Xuan were clearly unwise. Why didn't Rongrong understand?
"Tsk, young people are great, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow."
Seeing this scene, Dugu Yan couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
Ye Leng Leng didn't say anything, but if Ning Rongrong saw his serious nodding expression, she would probably jump up again even if she had fainted.
She's unforgiving and utterly intolerant. Even if she's beautiful, she's still a heartless monster. Daring to bully Rongrong, she's asking for death.
Tang San looked at Dugu Yan and Ye Leng Leng and thought coldly to himself.
