Chapter 149: Advancing to Grandmaster Level, Flowing Six Void Techniques!
At this moment, a white figure appeared in the distance, treading on air and floating like a fairy.
“The Sword Immortal Shangguan Jianhun has arrived!” everyone exclaimed.
On the other side, another figure appeared. Instead of treading on air, he walked on the ground while carrying a sword.
His movements looked clumsy, but he advanced dozens of yards with every step, at a similarly fast speed.
“The Saber Saint Ouyang Badao has also arrived!” everyone exclaimed again.
They were the protagonists of this battle outside of the world, Shangguan Jianhun and Ouyang Badao.
One became a celestial being in the sword, while the other was revered as a saint in the saber!
They regarded the 100,000 strong army and tens of thousands of martial artists as nothing, and directly passed through them, arriving in front of Lin Beifan in the blink of an eye. Looking at their long-awaited opponent, their fighting spirits rose.
However, they did not say a word.
Talking at this moment would leak their air and weaken their momentum. In a fight between experts, every little thing mattered.
They wanted to preserve their best state for the duel.
Lin Beifan understood their state of mind and smiled, “The Flying Sky Artifact, Air Balloon, is ready. Please come.”
Two large air balloons behind Lin Beifan slowly rose into the air.
The two experts nodded and then leaped into the air, lightly landing on the air balloons, one holding a sword and the other carrying a saber. Together with the slowly rising air balloons.
The martial artists witnessing this were all excited.
“They’re flying, the two experts are flying!”
“The battle outside the world is about to begin!”
“Is the sword of the Sword Fairy sharper or the blade of the Saber Saint stronger?”
“It’s so exciting!”
…
Unknowingly, the two had already risen to a height of 300 feet with the air balloon!
This was already a height that ordinary humans could hardly reach!
It was no exaggeration to call it beyond the sky!
The air balloon was very large, emitting a faint silver light, like a silver plate.
The two large air balloons and the bright moon reflected each other, as if three bright moons were suspended in the sky, creating an extremely beautiful scene.
At this point, the two experts standing on the air balloon finally spoke.
Sword Immortal: “I am Shangguan Jianhun!”
Saber Saint: “I am Ouyang Badao!”
Sword Immortal: “I touched a sword at the age of three and started to seriously learn sword at the age of five! I have been with my sword day and night, and have already passed through twenty-five spring and autumns, reaching the realm of unity of man and sword!”
Saber Saint: “I started learning the saber at the age of four, and have never been without my saber since. I have already gone through twenty-six winters and summers. I have realized the truth of the saber, that the saber is me and I am the saber.”
Sword Immortal: “What a great realm!”
Saber Saint: “What great comprehension!”
The Sword Immortal raised the sword in his hand. “This is my sword, made of thousand-year cold iron, with a blade length of three feet and seven inches and a weight of eighteen pounds and eight ounces! It is invincible and follows me to prove the ultimate sword way. Its name is Yitian!”
The Saber Saint took his blade in his hand. “This is my saber, made of celestial cloud iron from beyond the sky, with a blade length of four feet and three inches and a weight of twenty-eight pounds and three ounces! It is extremely bloodthirsty, having killed countless enemies under my command. Its name is Tulong!”
Sword Immortal: “What a great saber!”
Saber Saint: “What a great sword!”
…
At this point, they had already started fighting, trying to overwhelm each other with their momentum.
However, both of them were firm-willed and these words couldn’t shake their hearts, so they had to start attacking.
“Take my sword!” The Sword Immortal leaped out of the air balloon, holding his sword, and stabbed it out!
An amazing sword aura quickly penetrated hundreds of feet, slashing towards the Saber Saint!
The sword light was brilliant, beautiful and incomparable, just like a celestial being from outside of the world!
The Saber Saint wasn’t any worse, jumping into the air, seemingly even higher than the moon. He held his blade in both hands and slashed down in midair!
That terrifying blade aura descended from above, tearing through hundreds of feet of space!
It surged forward, just like a divine punishment!
“Boom boom…”
The world shook!
Although they were hundreds of feet above ground, the terrifying force still came crashing down, making people feel suffocated.
It was as if these swords and blades were slashing at them!
Everyone was amazed.
“This is the Sword Immortal!”
“This is the Saber Saint!”
With just one move, two air balloons were destroyed!
The two had lost their footing and were drifting down with their true qi under the wind.
At this moment, many Kongming lanterns suddenly rose from the ground, like stars decorating the sky.
Stepping on the lanterns, they jumped into the air again, continuing their battle outside of the world.
Sword aura criss-crossed, blades clashed, penetrating the void, like a divine battle!
On the ground, everyone was intoxicated by the spectacle.
“It’s so beautiful, so powerful!”
“After traveling a thousand miles, it was definitely not in vain!”
“To be able to witness such a battle outside of the world, even if we die, it’s worth it. This life has no regrets!”
“This will surely be a resounding event in the martial arts world!”
…
Lin Beifan watched with a dreamy expression.
He also wanted to fly and have a lively fight with others!
But when he thought of his identity and the dog system, he could only shed tears and sigh.
Forget it, he’d just be an honest corrupt official!
However, his mood quickly improved.
Because he could level up again.
“Twice in a row, I have embezzled about 15 million taels of silver from the Ministry of Industry officials!”
“Selling the air cushion boat manufacturing method, I obtained 43 million taels of silver from various princes and other countries!”
“From Princess Ziyue, I embezzled 4.5 million taels of silver!”
“From the young masters of the Imperial Academy, I embezzled nearly 10 million taels of silver!”
“Now, from this group of martial arts practitioners, I’ve embezzled 40 million taels of silver, leaving me with 35 million taels after using 5 million taels to bribe others!”
“So I’ve now embezzled over 100 million taels of silver!”
Lin Beifan became happier the more he thought about it. After all the effort he had expended, he had finally amassed a large sum of money that could bring about drastic changes in his life!
He really had to thank the Sword Immortal and Saber Saint, or he wouldn’t know when he would have enough money.
The divine battle outside of the world lasted an hour.
Although there was no clear winner, everyone was satisfied with what they saw and gained a lot, feeling that it was a worthwhile trip.
At this time, a joyful laugh came from outside of the world: “Wonderful! I haven’t met an opponent like you in a long time! Sword Immortal, your sword is really good, sharp and graceful, I admire it!”
Another laugh came: “Saber Saint, your blade is not bad either! You’re the most domineering blade I’ve ever encountered! This is a good blade, I admire it!”
“Sword Immortal, see you again, I’ll go first!”
“Saber Saint, see you again, we’ll fight another day!”
The two laughed heartily, leaping into the air and returning to rest while absorbing the gains of this battle.
After watching the battle, the crowd left reluctantly, feeling that they had gained a lot.
At the same time, news of this battle quickly spread.
As a result, the names of the Sword Immortal and Saber Saint became even more famous!
Lin Beifan also went back.
When night fell and it was quiet, Lin Beifan secretly sneaked to a deserted wild area.
Because he wanted to level up.
The last time he saw the old monk breaking through to Grandmaster, the impact was too great, he didn’t want others to discover his strength, so he could only run outside to break through secretly.
Lin Beifan, full of excitement, said, “System, settle for me now!”
“Ding! As the main character, embezzling 190 million taels of gold, silver, and jewelry, a sum of 10 points, shocking the world, rewards the fusion of the martial arts Grandmaster Western Kunlun (later) template!”
Terrifying power instantly penetrated Lin Beifan’s body!
There were more terrifying knowledge, not just martial arts knowledge, but also mathematical, astronomical, physical, exploration, and military knowledge, all pouring into Lin Beifan’s mind!
At the same time, outside, the world’s spiritual energy rapidly converged, forming a tornado.
And Lin Beifan was sitting in the center of the tornado, and the image of Tai Chi Bagua vaguely appeared around him, which was very mysterious.
It took about an hour for Lin Beifan to absorb this template.
He opened his eyes very happily: “Now, I have finally become a real Grandmaster!”
In this high martial world, Grandmasters were top-level powerhouses!
Like Sword Immortal and Saber Saint, they just became Grandmasters, and they dared to step on the face of the imperial court, and the court could not stop them!
The battles between the two Grandmasters can attract thousands of martial arts practitioners from afar!
Even if Lin Beifan had cut them once, they could only grit their teeth, acknowledging it!
This was the terror and appeal of Grandmaster level powerhouses!
“And, I am not an ordinary Grandmaster!”
He absorbed the template of Xikunlun!
Speaking of Western Kunlun, maybe not many people knew about it.
But if you mentioned the Zhou Liu Six Vacant Skills, perhaps few people didn’t know about them.
Zhou Liu Six Vacant Skills was a very mysterious martial art.
This martial art was based on eight natural forces of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, wind, thunder, water, and fire, combined with Tai Chi Bagua. Once this skill was learned, one could use these eight forces to control everything in the world.
Zhou Liu Six Vacant Skills, the practice of everything!
This martial art was no longer just a martial art; it could be classified as a type of Daoism and magic.
Western Kunlun was the founder of this amazing martial art!
The opponent had even become the world’s number one Grandmaster with this amazing martial art!
And now, Lin Beifan possessed this power and was very proficient in Zhou Liu Six Vacant Skills.
He opened his arms and slowly flew up using the power of the wind.
He waved his hand, releasing endless flames, burning down a forest.
He waved his hand again, extinguishing all the flames.
He pointed his finger, and a purple sword qi shot out, shattering a boulder the size of six people hugging, with a charred trace on it.
It was more like a thunderbolt than a sword qi.
Moreover, all the natural forces were at his disposal.
The energy he lost just now was immediately supplemented by the power of nature, and his body was in perfect harmony.
Lin Beifan sighed, “Controlling the power of nature to use for myself, this skill is really too strong, too much like a cheat! I’m afraid people will actually believe that I’m a god! This 100 million taels of silver is really worth embezzling, hahaha!”
Now, he didn’t dare to say he was invincible in the Grandmaster level, but he was definitely one of the strongest among them!
Just then, Lin Beifan’s expression changed slightly, and a layer of mist appeared on his body, covering his facial features.
Because he felt someone coming, and this person was not weak.
He turned his head and saw a person rushing towards him quickly, taking dozens of steps forward in a single leap, like a speeding train.
No, even the speed of a train was not as fast as his!
This person, Lin Beifan knew, was…
The Saber Saint, Ouyang Badao!
