Lin Yi's gaze showed interest.
Ni Shaotian inherited the platinum Wind God Leg Art, one of the greatest movement arts in all of Kyushu.
Since arriving in this land, Lin Yi had not even seen gold movement techniques, let alone platinum ones, so he really wanted to compare the Wind God's Legs with Linbo's Move Set.
“Okay, please enter the arena,” said the eunuch with an encouraging smile..
It took courage to step out ahead of the others. In addition, Ni Shaotian was a worthy opponent - his family has always occupied a large place in the lands of Kyushu. Although they could not match the strength of the Three and Five Emperors now, they had a rich history of powerful experts in their hands. Even now they were most likely just behind the emperors' families in strength.
Empress Wu herself would not dare to insult the Ni family - as the eunuch believed, at least.
Ni Shaotian walked up to the arena under the curious gazes of the other six celestial talents. Sanbao pretended to sigh:
“What a shame. I thought about it and didn’t have time to say that I was entering the arena, and now, alas, I wouldn’t even have a chance to teach this arrogant upstart a lesson. Huashan's pitiful silver technicians cannot cope with the Legs of the Wind God of the Ni family.”
“Yes, Brother Shaotian has achieved amazing heights in this technique, it’s as if he was born for it,” Xi Yun supported. “I could never match him in speed, so even with my sword technique I’m not one hundred percent sure that I could win.”
He said this not for the sake of Sanbao’s favor, but because he thought a lot about who he would have to fight in this arena, and Ni Shaotian always raised doubts in him. Even among the six of them, he achieved such heights that they had to be recognized. Everything was heading towards the fact that the Ni family would once again return to the pedestal of the rulers of the world.Others expressed similar opinions. Not because they underestimated Lin Yi, but out of a simple understanding that no matter how genius this man was, with silver techniques he could not defeat the heirs of platinum ones.
Only Yan Yun, still with the same expectant smile, suddenly said:
“You all think that Brother Shaotian will win, but I believe that Brother Lin will win.”
Everyone looked into his eyes, puzzled. Not only did he predict defeat for one of them, but he also called their common enemy “brother” Lin!
Sanbao snorted in irritation.:
“Hmph, there was a rumor that you could see right through people, but now I'm starting to think that it really is just a rumor. Why did you decide that he has at least a chance to win??”
The others were also waiting for an answer..
“Why argue, friends? Who will win and who will lose, we are about to see.”
“Yes, there’s no need to swear and guess,” Xi Yun nodded, trying to relax the tense atmosphere.
He didn’t want Yan Yun and Sanbao to quarrel. It wasn’t enough to start a war over some quarrel.
Sanbao understood his intentions, but was still angry with the Young Sword God. Especially because he did not explain why he had such a high opinion of this Lina Yi out of nowhere.
Therefore, although he understood the intentions of the Sword Emperor’s heir, he still said with anger:
“Yeah, let's see why one of us is blind.”
Yan Yun chose to remain silent, so Sanbao, unable to take his anger out on another, continued to puff under his breath..
In the arena, meanwhile, Shaotian stood a hundred meters away from Lin Yi, hugged his fist with his palm, and shouted:
“Ni Shaotian Ni clan is ready for battle!”
“Lin Yi of the Huashan Sect is ready for battle!”
The moment the last word was spoken, Shaotian pushed himself forward with the ease of the wind. A trail of world energy formed behind him, and a blade of light appeared in his hand, resembling neither a sword nor a saber. He constantly changed shape, never stopped in one place, and at the same time he was very strong.
Shaotian suddenly pushed his hand forward and towards Lin, and countless blades of white light rushed out, like shrapnel from all the weapons there are..
Lin Yi struck several times, drowning the white light in waves of violet energy, but this time he had to spend more energy on each attack than it took to win against Xiu Bei. The white light was much deeper and more dangerous.
But this curtain of attacks turned out to be just a diversionary maneuver. Hiding behind the explosion, Shaotian suddenly pushed away from the arena and found himself hundreds of meters above the ground..
Turning around his axis, he brought down a whole hail of white blades, as if the heavens had opened up with metal.
«Boom boom boom!»
White light surged like hail, the entire arena trembled from shock waves.
Lin Yi repelled and destroyed every attack, but it took too much energy. He could not spend such volumes because he was several times inferior to any of his rivals in terms of reserves.
And Shaotian tested him in three directions at once: he had to understand the trajectory of the attack, use enough force to repel it, and manage to do all this in a split second.!
Also, among the hail of white blades, the true attack was periodically hidden - swords of such strong and powerful energy that all the others were not even close.
Shaotian was a very difficult opponent, not only possessing excellent techniques, but also having gained extensive combat experience.
Only veterans like Lin Yi, who learned to come out without a single injury from the fire of thousands of bows, felt free and easy among this hail.
Shaotian clearly not only trained behind closed doors, he saw a real battlefield, and more than once!
But while Lin Yi calmly recognized his opponent and began to feel respect, Shaotian felt a trembling inside.
For the first time in his life, he met someone his own age who could withstand all his attacks without haste or fear. Even the strongest Marquises of his family did not have time to repel all the blows of this technique he invented. Even Yan Yun and Sanbao would probably miss a hit or two!
And Lin Yi, whoever he was, looked as if he was used to being under such fire. Explosions shook the ground, clothes fluttered on him, blades tore apart the stone arena, scattering fragments of stones, and among all this, the young man in purple either calmly struck, or easily retreated from side to side, as if enjoying the rain!
He didn’t even come up with any techniques, he repelled everything with ordinary attacks, like swatting away flies!
If Lin Yi could deal with him without even resorting to techniques, then what will happen when he uses his silver techniques??!
Shaotian felt his hair stand on end. The whole back of my head was tingling. It was the first time he had met such a person in his generation. And what was most frightening was that he was only at the third stage of the flawless rank! What kind of monster will this man become when he rises to the top??!
What will his power be if he gets hold of the golden techniques? And if platinum?
This is a real genius of heaven! Just the tip of the iceberg of his powers caused horror and awe!
Shaotian considered himself a monster; as soon as he showed only the edge of his strength, people fled in fear. But who was this creature then??!
Shaotian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down..
Lin Yi is a dangerous opponent. And this meant only one thing: he could not hold back!
“I admit it, Brother Lin! You are strong! I hope you can withstand my true strength!”
Roaring loudly, he raised his hands and the entire sky was covered with shining clouds consisting of blades. Even the veil of light trembled from the energy gathered under it.
People felt their hearts tremble.
And the apocalypse hit the world. The blades now fell not only into the center of the arena, they destroyed everything they could reach, fell from all directions and sides, destroyed everything that could be destroyed.
A hurricane wind lifted the dust left from the stone arena into the air, and a deafening tornado formed inside the curtain of light..
