Lin Ping'an: I Already Used My Cheat, So Why Am I Still Getting Beaten Up?

On the Life and Death Arena, a long, chilling Sword Qi descended first.

Immediately following was an unstoppable fist strike.

The Sword Qi and fist energy collided in mid-air, producing a loud boom.

In an instant, the entire Life and Death Arena trembled violently.

The aftershocks of their clash spread outwards.

The disciples watching from the sidelines quickly intervened to disperse the aftershocks, preventing them from affecting the unfortunate bystanders.

On the Life and Death Arena.

Cao Youqian stood motionless, looking at Lin Ping'an in front of him with excitement.

"I didn't expect that old bastard Sword Martial King to actually pass on your Sword Dao Institute's trump card, the Seven Killings Sword Art Technique, to you. But there's no trace of the Saintly Technique in it, is there?"

The Seven Killings Sword Art was created by the former Seven Killings Sword Saint of the Dao-Seeking Academy.

The Seven Killings Sword Saint became famous throughout the world thanks to these seven moves.

After leaving the Dao-Seeking Academy, he left the Seven Killings Sword Art in the Sword Dao Institute.

This sacred technique is also one of the Great Sage techniques of the Sword Dao Institute.

Lin Ping'an had only been a disciple for a short time when Sword Martial King passed on this sacred technique to him, clearly intending to groom him as his successor.

Below the arena, Lin Qingyu's expression turned extremely ugly when he heard the words "Seven Killings Sword Art".

He was clearly the first person in his generation at the Sword Dao Institute to awaken the Saint Physique.

However, the Sword Dao Institute did not teach him the Holy Technique.

Instead, it was Lin Ping'an who learned it!

On the Life and Death Arena, Lin Ping'an's face was extremely grim. His Seven Killings Sword Art could increase his combat power several times over.

Even so, his swordsmanship still failed to break through Cao Youqian's tortoise shell.

Moreover, he sensed some of the Fist Intent behind that punch.

This... how is this possible? That guy was clearly a good-for-nothing a year ago.

He gritted his teeth and raised his sword again; the previous strike had taken a toll on him.

In his current condition, he can only strike once more.

Lin Ping'an coldly retorted, "Stop pretending! I don't believe you can withstand another of my sword strikes."

"Snort!"

Cao Youqian snorted coldly, "Bring on whatever moves you have."

Clang!

This time, Lin Ping'an didn't speak; his only response was a sword strike.

This sword strike was faster and stronger than the previous one!

Moreover, the Sword Intent gradually became more complete.

Boom!

When this sword landed, it cleaved a huge crack in the entire Life and Death Arena.

Unfortunately, the sword did not land on Cao Youqian.

"I forgot to tell you, the same trick won't work on me."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Youqian's fist had already landed.

Lin Ping'an then came to his senses and hurriedly swung his sword to defend himself, but it was too late.

Bang!

The fist's energy shattered the Sword Qi and landed heavily on Lin Ping'an.

He was sent flying like a human punching bag.

After gliding through the air for more than ten meters, it landed on the ring.

Bang!

Just as Lin Ping'an was about to stand up, a figure stepped on his sword-wielding hand.

hiss...

A sharp, piercing pain shot through his fingers.

Even so, Lin Ping'an remained unconvinced. He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and glared angrily at Cao Youqian.

Don't think you can defeat me like this!

Snap!

Cao Youqian responded with a slap across the face.

That slap of his was so powerful it could stun even Heavenly Origin Demon Beast.

Lin Ping'an's face swelled up at a visible speed.

Snap!

Cao Youqian slapped the other half of his face, muttering, "Now it's symmetrical."

"You!!!"

Lin Ping'an wanted to unleash the power within his body to fight back, but his spiritual energy was already exhausted and he was unable to retaliate.

He quickly closed his eyes and cried out in his mind, "Master, please help me defeat this guy!"

Soon, an old voice echoed in his mind.

"How come you can't even beat a kid of the same realm? It's just that you don't have any Spiritual Qi in your body. If I were to make a move, it would consume a lot of my soul power."

"Furthermore, I can only help you raise your cultivation to the Peak True Fate. Otherwise, if I use all my power, that old guy at the Dao-Seeking Academy will notice."

Lin Ping'an knew perfectly well that these were all excuses that old man was making.

But he's already been beaten so badly that he doesn't care about anything else.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely find a sacred artifact to help you recover your soul power. As long as you can raise my cultivation to the Peak True Fate, I will be able to defeat him."

"Good."

After the old man responded, he poured his soul power into Lin Ping'an.

The next second, Lin Ping'an's aura surged, instantly transforming him into Peak True Fate.

The crowd Life and Death Arena were all shocked by what they saw.

Even Qin Qin couldn't help but shout, "Second Senior Brother, be careful!"

Seeing this, Cao Youqian was not afraid at all. After taking half a step back, he said excitedly, "I didn't expect you to have such a secret technique!"

Seeing that he had retreated, Lin Ping'an quickly grabbed the sword on the ground and stabbed it at Cao Youqian.

Seeing this, Cao Youqian not only did not retreat but also launched a counterattack.

The sword struck his body with a clanging sound.

Cao Youqian didn't hesitate and threw a punch directly at Lin Ping'an's chest.

The two were now no more than three feet apart.

Lin Ping'an had no way to avoid this punch.

Bang!

The sound of something breaking rang out, and Lin Ping'an's expression changed drastically in an instant.

He never expected that his breastplate would be shattered by Cao Youqian with a single punch.

Bang!

Lin Ping'an felt a sharp pain in his dantian, followed by Cao Youqian's one-sided beating.

Life and Death Arena.

The disciples present, who were merely watching the spectacle, were all dumbfounded by what they saw on the Life and Death Arena.

They had expected it to be an overwhelming battle.

Everyone guessed the ending but not the process.

The player who dominated the fight was Cao Youqian, who wasn't considered a favorite before the match began.

Moreover, the way he beat people up had absolutely no semblance of a cultivator's demeanor; it was like a street thug beating someone up.

Lin Ping'an was also stunned. He couldn't understand why, even though he had asked his master for help and unleashed his peak Peak True Fate cultivation, he still couldn't defeat Cao Youqian.

After a while, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky.

"Stop!"

Cao Youqian, holding Lin Ping'an in his hand, looked up at the sky and saw a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of Sword Dao Institute elder flying towards them on a sword.

Bang!

He then threw another punch at Lin Ping'an's dantian.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

As the elder of the Sword Dao Institute spoke, a terrifying aura emanated from his body, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Cao Youqian's lips curled up slightly. "Oh, the Sword Dao Institute is quite arrogant, beating up the younger generation and then attacking the elders. What, is your Sword Dao Institute trying to interfere with the rules of the Dao-Seeking Academy?"

These words shocked everyone present!
