Luo Xinyan's speed in Phantom Blade is incredibly fast, almost instantaneous. At the same time, his striking movements are executed so swiftly that an ordinary person cannot even see how he does it; his hand blade could easily claim countless lives!
Thus, these seemingly simple moves are actually terrifying! Even Ye Feng would need to resort to extraordinary measures to evade this deadly strike through normal means.
However, with Ye Feng unable to quickly perform a second blink, it seems impossible for him to escape!
Luo Xin's lips even curled into a victorious smile. He was certain that without a Protective Qi like his own, the normal defensive capabilities of a Martial Saint would be utterly insufficient to withstand his devastating hand blade! The opponent's life seemed to hang in the balance at that very moment!
"Die!" Luo Xin shouted from the depths of his heart, screaming madly!
Disciples watching from four kilometers away were completely unaware of what was happening, but they all coincidentally heard that astonishing shout! It felt as if the battle was about to come to an end because of that cry!
"Is it over? Who won? Who won?"
"I can't see anything!"
"Damn it! I really want to rush over there!"
"Don't be foolish! What if nothing happened to them? If we rush over, wouldn't that be equivalent to seeking death?"
"Ah, what a pity! Such an exhilarating battle, yet we can't see it clearly!"
"What a pity? It's not like we can do anything! With this time, we should focus on our own training!"
... The discussions among the many disciples inevitably reached the ears of Qianjizi and others. However, compared to those with lower cultivation levels, their sensing abilities were much stronger!
"It's Luo Xin! That kid wouldn't really kill Feng Ye, would he?" Zhu Feng said with some concern. Although fists and feet have no eyes, they all hoped that neither side would die in this battle! Injuries might be unavoidable, but after all, it wasn't a true life-and-death struggle! The 'death' of the Envoy Group's prophet was an accident unrelated to them, but if this substitute also died in battle, they would find it hard to justify!
However, Feng Zhengyang quickly said with a stern face: "No! The aura is still there! Whether it's Luo Xin or Feng Ye! It's just..."
Hearing him say this, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but they quickly sensed the complex expression on his face and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
Everyone's gaze focused on Feng Zhengyang's face. This veteran Martial Saint, who had the highest realm among those present, finally revealed a look of confusion and concern!
"Luo Xin's aura is a bit chaotic; something might have gone wrong!"
"How could that be? Didn't Luo Xin just shout a few words?" Zhu Feng exclaimed in surprise! The other Hall Masters also looked equally puzzled!
Feng Zhengyang shook his head and said, "We don't know exactly what happened; we need to get closer to see. Unfortunately, we can't take that risk right now. There are so many disciples waiting for us to ensure their safety, so we cannot leave. Therefore, I can't say much!"
"This!" Seeing the old man's anxious state, everyone's hearts grew increasingly worried. But as he said, with over ten thousand disciples present needing their protection, anyone leaving could lead to unforeseen consequences!
Qianjizi furrowed his brows tightly. His ability to sense was not effective in this situation, but he felt something due to Feng Zhengyang's words!
"Right now, those two might still be fine, but if they keep fighting, who knows what will happen!"
With this statement, everyone fell into the greatest confusion they had ever experienced... but there was nothing they could change! They were filled with endless worry!
At this moment, just as some had speculated, the two in the battlefield had entered a strange state!
Luo Xin's hand strike ultimately failed to break through Ye Feng's body. It wasn't that his strike lacked power or that Ye Feng's defense was unexpectedly strong! It was simply because his hand strike stopped mid-air! His entire movement came to an end! Even more astonishingly, he was trembling!
His trembling hands spread like ripples across a lake, gradually affecting his whole body! Luo Xin's face turned pale for some reason! Yes! He didn't want to spare Ye Feng's life nor show mercy! It was because he himself had encountered a problem that left him rigid and unable to move!
"How could this happen?" Luo Xin growled unwillingly! He could feel all of his True Qi starting to wander uncontrollably; this chaotic phenomenon directly prevented him from controlling his own body!
At this moment, Ye Feng had successfully escaped his attack range but remained at a short distance away, quietly watching him!
"I told you, in this battle, I will not lose, and I certainly won't be killed by you!" he said calmly, his expression indifferent as if he had already anticipated what would happen!
"It’s you! What have you done to me!" Luo Xin realized that his strange situation was definitely not a coincidence! Feeling this familiar state, he could only think of one possibility: it was the work of Feng Ye!
In response to his questioning and anger, Ye Feng did not explain but instead straightforwardly admitted, "That's right, it was me. However, if you think about it carefully, you'll understand what I did! Do you really think I was so close to you just now by chance? Was it to give you a chance to hit me?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xin suddenly understood! It turned out that just moments ago, after Ye Feng attacked, he did not choose to immediately distance himself but rather intended to use the proximity with the dagger and his body to inject something into him!
"Do you feel your True Qi flowing backward? This is actually similar to the chaos you inflicted on my True Qi earlier, but mine is a bit more ruthless! Now, not only can you not quickly release your Martial Technique, but even the most basic movements are quite difficult for you, right?" Ye Feng looked at him and continued calmly.
Indeed, in that brief moment when Luo Xin dodged under his arm, the Dark Blade still made contact with his chest, presenting an exceptional opportunity! At that instant, he successfully diverted Luo Xin's attention through their conversation and then infused the invisible power of the Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision!
Of course, that power would not show immediate effects! It wasn't until Luo Xin began to exert force and transform his attack into the Phantom Blade that the shocking results became apparent two seconds later!
"So that's how it is! It seems I underestimated you after all!" Luo Xin finally understood everything upon hearing this; he realized he had been calculated against. However, after coming to this realization, he did not continue to get angry because since he had fallen into the trap, he could only blame himself for being inadequate; everything else was futile!
"There’s no such thing as underestimating anyone. As you said, this is just a difference in our understanding of the path of martial artists! But since we are both martial artists, we naturally share a common goal. Sometimes our methods may be similar; there’s nothing strange about that. The only thing to blame is your overconfidence. Having confidence is good, but blind confidence is arrogance!"
After saying this, Ye Feng still did not rush to attack. This was not due to arrogance; rather, he was cautious. He did not believe that Luo Xin, whose True Energy had been disrupted by him, was completely defenseless at this moment!
First of all, the Protective Qi remained intact. If he could not ensure a hit on his weak point with a single strike, then any further attacks would merely waste energy!
At this point in the battle, combined with the previous injuries he had sustained, Ye Feng had already consumed quite a bit of energy. He needed to conserve his strength; therefore, observing Luo Xin's movements and finding an appropriate opportunity to strike was the best way to defeat him!
"Is that so? Perhaps I really have been arrogant. So now, what are you thinking? Why don’t you come over and give me a quick end?" Luo Xin said somewhat provocatively! Meanwhile, he began adjusting his internal state; however, Ye Feng's method could not be resolved in a short time!
Unlike his previous techniques, the strange power lingering within him could not be easily cleared away. More importantly, it seemed almost alive—bumping around everywhere—making it difficult for Luo Xin to properly channel his True Qi to guide them into position!
Fortunately, this did not affect his defensive stance! Coupled with his unchanged aggressive hand blade technique becoming the most threatening force, he knew very well that it was precisely because he had this strongest shield and sharpest blade that he possessed deterrent power! This made his opponent hesitant to attack him easily!
Both sides had grasped each other's intentions perfectly! It was just a matter of time!
Ye Feng silently stared at him, pondering suitable attack methods while casually asking, "In your opinion, who is most likely to stand until the end in this battle?"
At that moment, the question seemed meaningless and rather dull! However, it provided Luo Xin with the perfect opportunity to stall. He was trying to break through the destructive force within him and responded seemingly unconcerned, "I still stand by what I said; I won't fall!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng fell silent again, taken aback by the firmness displayed by his opponent. After a long pause, he slowly replied, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in your abilities! Although I'm giving you time to escape your awkward situation, do you really think I will continue to hesitate in attacking you?"
There was a hint of challenge in his tone, revealing some impatience!
Luo Xin, however, did not seem anxious at all. Instead, he calmly said, "I have never thought that way. We both know that battles between experts are never reckless. You are a smart person and understand that mindless attacks will only lead to trouble for yourself. Without absolute certainty of injuring me, any further probing is futile!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly; this was indeed a tough opponent. No matter the situation he found himself in, Luo Xin could analyze the battle with clarity! A powerful opponent is not frightening! But often, a strong opponent with intelligence is truly terrifying!
Time passed slowly, and no one could imagine that at such a critical point in their fight, these two could still afford to converse!
However, such moments for conversation were actually rare. Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and secretly began to channel his power to its peak! During the time he had been severely injured earlier, he had been quietly healing all the internal injuries he sustained!
While giving Luo Xin time, he was also giving himself time! Now, his internal injuries were nearly back to normal; next would be deciding the outcome after a few more rounds!
