Wu Liang looked up at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with hesitation and uncertainty.
Even though Lin Xuan defeated him in one move, he still wasn't sure if Lin Xuan could truly become that person's opponent and defeat him.
But he had no way out; he could only try.
Wu Liang unconsciously showed a nervous expression. Seeing the Demon Emperor so nervous and lacking confidence in himself, Lin Xuan gently shook his head but didn't say anything more.
He knew that Wu Liang was probably extremely nervous at this moment; after all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment sometimes can be.
Although Wu Liang still has a chance to try again, if Lin Xuan fails, Wu Liang, who has waited for so many years, is very likely to be greatly affected, his mind will be unstable, and who knows what might happen.
After so many years of waiting, he finally saw hope. It was perfectly normal for him to feel both ecstatic and apprehensive.
Therefore, Lin Xuan simply walked up to Wu Liang, patted him on the shoulder, and chuckled softly.
"Vice Pavilion Master, don't be nervous, you're guaranteed this position!"
After saying that, Lin Xuan flashed and appeared directly in front of the middle-aged man, looking at him calmly.
At the same time, the system directly probes outwards.
Name: Gong Yang
Age: 3,300 years old
Realm: Thearch Realm First Layer
Identity: Holy Son of the Ascension Holy Clan
Destiny: Ascension Holy Physique (Gold Rank 9)
Recent events: None
The Gong Yang here is an illusion. The time left behind by the illusion will be frozen forever. Therefore, the information that Lin Xuan discovered is the information of the Gong Yang when Wu Liang was suppressed.
At that time, Gong Yang was 3,300 years old and had become Great Emperor!
No wonder.
Lin Xuan read the message and understood.
No wonder he was able to defeat Wu Liang in one move.
This is a prodigy who became emperor at the age of 3,300, and with a ninth-rank Golden Destiny, he is already on par with Su Lianxin. If he can't defeat Wu Liang in one move, then there's a problem.
only...
As Lin Xuan looked at it, he suddenly frowned.
Wu Liang, standing behind him, had been observing Lin Xuan.
Although Lin Xuan had his back to him, the eyesight of the Chongming Bird Clan was far superior to that of Human Race; even if someone had their back to him, Wu Liang could still "see" them.
Upon seeing Lin Xuan frown, Wu Liang's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition rose in his mind.
Judging from this... could it be that Lin Xuan doesn't have the confidence to defeat this person at all?
To be cowardly before the battle is a grave mistake.
A sense of anxiety arose in Wu Liang's heart, but he didn't want to disturb her, so he could only keep a tight expression on his face.
However, what he didn't know was that Lin Xuan's dilemma wasn't whether he could win, but rather whether he needed to use the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array to defeat Gong Yang.
"Never mind, let's give it a try first."
Fighting at the same level means that Gong Yang needs to suppress his level to the same level as Lin Xuan, which is the King Realm Thirteenth Layer.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan launched a fierce attack, striking out with a palm straight at Gong Yang's face.
The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, golden light flashing in them. He moved with lightning speed, simultaneously meeting Lin Xuan's palm strike head-on!
Their palms met, unleashing a fierce gust of wind.
Ding!
Ta-da!
Both sides retreated simultaneously.
However, the difference was that Lin Xuan only took one step back, while Gong Yang... took four steps back!
Even though he suffered a slight loss, Gong Yang showed no emotional change, remaining expressionless, and immediately unleashed his second attack.
He is a projection of the true Gong Yang, and being a phantom, he has no emotions, no surprise, no shock; he will only continue the battle that has already begun until one side is defeated.
And this second move...
Lin Xuan had already finished testing the waters. He shrugged, easily drew his longsword, One Sword out.
That was just a test, and the result was exactly as Lin Xuan had imagined. The second move was when Lin Xuan began to get serious!
brush--
With One Sword, a vast expanse of sword light, accompanied by an astonishingly boundless Sword Intent, spread and rippled throughout the entire space, heading straight for Gong Yang at the forefront.
It was as if the tide had surged forth, sweeping away all the obstacles in its path and sinking them to the bottom of the sea.
With One Sword strike, the projection blocking Lin Xuan vanished without a trace.
This One Sword not only defeated Gong Yang's projection, but also completely annihilated the phantom image that was right there in the world.
And this was achieved with just two sword strikes.
From start to finish, it was just two sword strikes.
Even before Wu Liang could relax the furrowed brows that had been furrowed due to his tense state of mind, the emotion in his eyes was completely replaced by shock.
Is it... over?
Only two moves were used?
No, to be precise, it was One Sword!
As the Great Emperor, Wu Liang could naturally see that Lin Xuan's first move was merely a test.
But the one projecting the attack didn't understand what probing was; his first move was already at full strength!
In this clash, he hadn't expected that it would be Gong Yang's projection that suffered the loss!
Moreover, Lin Xuan's second sword strike was clearly many times stronger than his One Sword!
What kind of monster is he?
Wu Liang could hardly contain his disbelief and shock; for a moment, this emotion even overshadowed his joy.
He had indeed considered that Lin Xuan might be able to defeat Gong Yang, but he never expected that Lin Xuan would only use... two moves! No, One Sword!
They defeated the projection of the Gong Yang so easily.
One Sword strike! Defeat him!
what does that mean?
This means that even during his own time, Lin Xuan was an absolute prodigy, surpassing even Gong Yang in talent!
This also means... he's free!
Upon regaining his senses, Wu Liang was overwhelmed with immense joy.
The projection of the Gong Yang had dissipated. In that instant, he felt that the restraints that had been attached to him had completely vanished. From now on, freedom would no longer be a luxury for him!
He can finally leave this damned place!
After annihilating the phantom of the Gong Yang, Lin Xuan sheathed his sword, casually glancing at the vanished phantom with a blank expression, neither surprised nor pleased.
The Innate Primordial Sword Physique of a first-rank Red-level cultivator is indeed extremely domineering!
Keep in mind, this is only the minor completion stage of the Innate Primordial Sword Physique. If one day he can cultivate it to the great completion stage, or even a higher stage...
Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled casually.
" The Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, you're unlikely to get a chance to appear then."
Despite his laughter, Lin Xuan was also a little curious.
Among those in the same realm, the only one who could force him to use the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array...
Does it really exist?
The thought flashed through Lin Xuan's mind. He turned his head and saw Wu Liang tentatively taking a step three feet away.
Originally, Wu Liang also wanted to leave, but every time he took three feet, he would be pulled back by the chains, and he was firmly imprisoned in this small place.
Even on the arena he conjured, Lin Xuan couldn't knock him more than three feet away; everything was restraint.
This time, however, Wu Liang's foot finally landed more than three feet away.
He is free!
Wu Liang was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He tried to suppress his joy, but he couldn't.
Lin Xuan looked at the former Demon Emperor, feeling quite pleased.
This person is a powerful expert at the Thearch Realm Third Layer.
Although he cannot directly recover his Thearch Realm cultivation in a short period of time, given some time, he can recover to his peak strength.
Moreover, unlike Heavenly Venerable Yunli, beings of Wu Liang's level have many ways to reshape their physical bodies, so Lin Xuan doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Sword Pavilion has received another great help!
Lin Xuan was in an exceptionally good mood.
He smiled at Wu Liang:
"Congratulations on the Vice Pavilion Master's regained freedom; this is a joyous occasion for our Sword Pavilion."
After staring at Lin Xuan for a long time, Wu Liang could no longer contain his delight and burst into laughter.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master. From now on, I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the Sword Pavilion!"
