Chapter 210 Demon Sword Counterattack, Dai Haoran Takes the Bait

The masked man had his eyes closed, and his ordinary face was filled with a look of relief.

With his throat pierced, the man in the iron mask felt his life slipping away.

His short life flashed through his mind.

He came from a poor family, worked hard to learn martial arts, and was fortunate enough to join the city guard in the county.

He gradually revealed his talent and then participated in the Sword Sect's martial arts tournament.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Five years ago, I stood on this stage, but back then I was one of the ten winners who got the chance to go to the Sword Sect.

He was seriously injured during the Sword Sect's martial arts competition.

At this time, a master of the innate realm from the Dai family of the Sword Peak of the Sword Sect found him, expressed his desire to take him as a disciple, and even gave him some healing medicine.

He thought his luck had turned and he was about to become an inner disciple of the Sword Sect and soar to great heights, but it turned out to be just the beginning of a nightmare.

He never expected that a master of innate talent would plot against him.

The healing medicine he took for himself was found to contain a Nine Nether Corpse Pill.

He was furious when he found out and went to the Punishment Hall of the Sword Sect to accuse the Dai family of their crimes, but no one paid any attention to it.

This angered the Dai family.

The Dai family captured him and, in front of a group of assassins, triggered the medicinal power of the Nine Netherworld Corpse Pill within him.

It made him realize what it meant to be unable to live or die, and from then on he gave in.

He transformed from a spirited martial artist into a lifeless and ruthless member of the Dai family.

Now that Lin Feng has killed him, it's a kind of relief for him.

Seeing this, Lin Feng decided to give the Iron Mask a quick death. He drew his longsword and plunged it into the Iron Mask's chest.

The man in the iron mask tilted his head and fell silent.

At this moment, someone in the audience actually recognized the Man in the Iron Mask.

"This person looks familiar."

"Isn't that Quick Sword Lee?"

"Wasn't he the champion of a certain competition? I remember that competition, he got into the top ten and went to the Sword Sect."

"How did he end up with the Iron Mask and become the Dai family's henchman?"

"What kind of thug? Didn't you see the expression on his face? He's clearly a suicide squad."

What exactly happened after he went to the Sword Sect?

"Sigh, don't say anymore, it's enough that everyone knows."

Those who knew him couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Lin Feng got a general idea from the discussions of the crowd below the stage. This person thought that he would rise to prominence after going to the Sword Sect, but he didn't expect to be tricked by the Dai family and fall into ruin.

For low-level martial artists, there are few opportunities in this world, but plenty of pitfalls.

Lin Feng drew his longsword, and at that moment he suddenly felt a heat in his hand holding the sword, as if a surge of true energy was about to enter his body from the hilt.

Lin Feng was extremely surprised.

I've heard of techniques that can absorb a person's true energy, but I've never heard of any divine weapon that has this effect.

The quality of this kind of external true energy is usually too impure. Lin Feng has no shortage of true energy and does not want to absorb it.

At this point, the system prompts: Should we convert the external steam into a breakthrough point?

Lin Feng immediately chose "Yes".

The true energy in his hand disappeared, and his attribute panel gained 20 breakthrough points.

Lin Feng stroked the blade of the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword with his hand. This is truly a treasure.

With this sword, I have another way to achieve a breakthrough.

Lin Feng looked at the crowd below the stage, his eyes shining. These were all potential breakthroughs.

One Bone Refining Realm martial artist earns 20 points, so ten of them would earn 200 points.

I can't keep using a sword forever, nor can I keep relying on this demonic sword. In the future, I need to acquire a martial art that can absorb people's true energy and turn that absorbed true energy into a breakthrough point.

Practicing martial arts that absorb other people's true energy will cause one's own true energy to become too impure, and such martial artists will mostly remain at a certain stage and unable to make any further progress.

However, this drawback is eliminated when it is transformed into a breakthrough point.

Lin Feng learned two moves from the Iron Mask and decided to give him some face.

He slowly drew the demon sword and gently pushed the masked man's body off the stage.

After killing the masked man, Lin Feng took two steps back and plopped down on the arena, pretending to be severely exhausted.

The death of the Iron Mask did not stir any emotion in Dai Haoran's heart. It was just a good dog; the family could get quite a few every year.

He just didn't expect that Lin Feng, who was suffering heavy losses on the mainland, would be able to seize the opportunity to kill the Iron Mask.

He was a little unsure about Lin Feng's condition. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to defeat the Iron Mask after expending so much true energy.

Everyone in the audience felt that Lin Feng was very weak.

For a moment, no one dared to step onto the stage.

A young, impetuous martial artist took two steps forward in the crowd, but was immediately pulled back by his companion.

"What do you want to do?"

“This General Lin is clearly past his prime. I’ll go up and take advantage of his weakness, knock him off the stage, and I’ll immediately become famous.”

"Are you stupid? Out of all these martial artists below the stage, you think you're the only one who can pick up the scraps?"

Did you see General Lin's final sword strike?

"I saw it, but I didn't see it very clearly. It looks amazing."

"You dared to attack without even seeing clearly. That sword strike was so exquisite that you found the only flaw among the seven sword energies and killed him with a single strike."

General Lin's martial arts skills can be said to be unmatched among those of the same level.

"As long as General Lin has even a sliver of true energy left, you'll be instantly killed if you go up there."

"Such an exaggeration!"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. Haven't you seen how no one else dares to step into the ring?"

The young man glanced around and said, "That's right. All the other arenas are just sitting there. Everyone's gathered here with General Lin, but no one dares to step onto his arena."

"Those people who challenged General Lin just now were all arranged by Young Master Dai. Young Master Dai didn't even step onto the stage, so why are you in such a hurry?"

General Lin is someone Young Master Dai wants to deal with. Knowing Young Master Dai's character, if you defeat General Lin, he will definitely send someone to kill you.

The young martial artist trembled upon hearing this.

"Thank you for your guidance, brother."

"You're too kind. Let's just watch the show. This year's martial arts competition is a bit different. Let's avoid the ring if we can avoid it."

Lin Feng glanced at Dai Haoran in the crowd, his eyes darting around, and moved his buttocks closer to the edge of the arena.

It was as if he would jump off the stage and admit defeat if someone came up to the ring and made a move.

Lin Feng put on a superb acting performance to lure Dai Haoran into the ring.

Seeing this, Dai Haoran frowned. He sensed that Lin Feng had exhausted his true energy and was about to retreat.

If I send another person up, or if some other foolish martial artist steps onto this kid's stage...

This kid will definitely use this as an excuse to jump off the stage, admit defeat, and run away.

If we miss this opportunity, we'll have to find another chance to kill him.

As Dai Haoran hesitated, he glanced at Lin Feng again.

He noticed Lin Feng's evasive gaze and the tattered hemp clothes Lin Feng was wearing, making him look like a dog.

Dai Haoran chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Why should I be afraid of a mere henchman?"

Even at his peak, this kid might not be a match for me, let alone now that he's exhausted his true energy.

Although this kid is capable of killing a master like the Iron-Faced Man, he's not someone I need to be wary of.

Although the Iron-Mask Man's martial arts skills were better than his own, his cultivation level and internal energy were both below his own, so he could easily kill the Iron-Mask Man as well.

How could I possibly think I wouldn't lose?

So what if I lose?

My second uncle is in the stands. If I'm no match for him, he'll definitely come to my rescue.

With this thought in mind, Dai Haoran had no more worries and strode towards the arena where Lin Feng was.
