Chapter 23: Yang Lin Makes His Move

  The next second, the woman moved, her body as soft as a water snake, and her eyes turned crimson.

  Nie Han's eyes condensed, and the sword at his waist came out of its scabbard. The sharp edge of the sword flashed, dazzling some people's eyes.

  "Ding"

  Time was running out, Nie Han's sword had just left its scabbard when a metallic friction sound occurred, and Nie Han was shocked to retreat two steps, his tiger mouth aching.

  Then Yang Yu Xi and others saw that a flying dart was bounced back, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and inserting it into the ground. In an instant, the ground presented a shocking dark green color.

  Nie Han's face turned even more solemn, and that flying dart was not only poisoned but also highly toxic!

  Rujiaosheng's eyes had already fixed on that woman, such a young and powerful person couldn't possibly be unknown.

  "Qian She Shou Lu Nu." Rujiaosheng thought for a moment before speaking out the woman's origin.

  "It sounds incredible!" Yang Yu Xi nodded, pretending to be deep in thought.

  "It's not just sounding formidable, it's actually very formidable. She is also the best of the younger generation of the evil sect, just like Wei Xinhao who fought with me last time."

  "An evil cult? How could the imperial court possibly collude with an evil cult?" Luo Tianyou had recovered and hastily asked upon hearing this.

  "The answer is simple," Yang Lin's face turned cold the moment Green Lady appeared, and he said coldly, "These people are not from the imperial court at all."

  "What?" Luo Tianyou was shocked.

  "No, there's another possibility." Rujisheng slowly shook his head and spoke in a low tone.

  Yang Lin's eyes narrowed, and he was somewhat moved: "You mean that the imperial court is colluding with the evil sect?"

  "It's not impossible." Rujisheng lowered his head and stroked the Autumn Cloud Sword in his hand, his black long hair fluttering in the morning breeze.

  Yang Lin frowned and said: "Impossible, today's Zi would absolutely not collude with an evil sect."

  Rujiaosheng looked at Yang Lin and felt a bit of doubt about his affirmative tone, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he said: "It's not necessarily an upper-level collusion, there is a great possibility that it's a local collusion."

  Yang Lin's old eyes stared at the two people fighting fiercely in the arena and said: "If that's the case, then I don't have any worries at all."

  Ru Qiu looked at Yang Lin with a profound gaze, feeling that the old man in front of him was even more mysterious and unfathomable. To be precise, he felt that everyone in the City Lord's Manor of Yushi City was mysterious and unfathomable - Nie Han was like this, the old man in front of him was like this, and City Lord Yang Sanwang was probably not simple either.

  Yang Yu Xi stood between the two of them, whenever someone spoke his head would look up at who was speaking, back and forth like this, his head was almost dizzy.

  As the two finally stopped for a moment, Yang Yu Xi hastily grabbed onto Yang Lin's sleeve and asked: "Grandfather, do you think Nie Han can win?"

  Yang Lin smiled and said confidently: "I can!"

  Confucius Autumn was born with doubts in his heart, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He knew that he couldn't say for sure about Shang Lü's words, but the old man in front of him had such confidence in Nie Han. Was it due to personal feelings or Nie Han's actual abilities?

  If it's the latter, then Nie Han's strength wouldn't surpass his own?

  Thinking of this, Rujisheng's hand holding the sword scabbard tightened again. Although he was a low-key person, it didn't mean he had no pride of his own.

  Yang Lin naturally saw Rujiaosheng's actions and could guess what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but smile: "Jiasheng, you just don't have enough confidence in yourself. Believe me, if it were your heyday, you would definitely defeat Lü Jiezi. As for Nie Han, his strength is equivalent to yours, so there's no need to belittle yourself."

  "Green Lady is also a outstanding figure among the younger generation of evil paths, I'm afraid she's also an extremely powerful person, how could she be so weak?"

  Yang Lin smiled meaningfully and shook his head: "Since ancient times, evil has never overcome righteousness. You have been immersed in Confucianism for too long, and Confucianism emphasizes the word 'li' (etiquette), humility is also one of them, so you are not as confident as Nie Han."

  Yang Lin paused for a moment and then said: "If you don't believe it, let's wait and see."

  Ru Qiu didn't respond and instead focused more intently on Nie Han's fight.

  At this time, Nie Han had already successfully forced his way to Lu Fei's side. With a sword in hand, he was not as skilled at long-range attacks like Lu Fei, so he could only shorten the distance first.

  "Whoosh"

  Rujisheng's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, he was very clear about Niehan's close combat strength, and the green lady who was good at long-range attacks would obviously fall into a rather passive situation.

  As expected, Nie Hansheng remained silent and still, but the long sword in his hand was like a mighty dragon rushing forward, sometimes chopping, sometimes stabbing, with angles that were sharp and mysterious. Each move seemed ordinary on its own, but when linked together, they formed a powerful sword technique.

  Lu Fei also sensed Nie Han's ferocity and no longer held back, unleashing the full power of her Extreme Dust One Heaven technique without reserve. Her entire body suddenly burst forth with a green glow, as five poisonous flying darts flew back to her side from afar, rapidly rotating around her body in a fixed trajectory, forming a dense and impenetrable defensive layer.

  "Boom boom boom"

  Sword and dart collided, dazzling sparks flew everywhere, splashing onto Nie Han's armor and bouncing off a few more sparks, looking even more mysterious in the morning fog.

  Nie Han's speed was getting faster and faster, his whole body almost becoming a shadow, and in an instant, he could strike out with many swords, and this number seemed to be far more than five.

  So, the five flying darts around Qingji naturally couldn't work again, and in just a moment, many wounds appeared all over her body, with fresh blood gushing out and dyeing her green outer garment red.

  Lu'er's beautiful eyebrows revealed a hint of panic, as she had never thought that anyone could draw their sword so quickly, quick enough that even her flying darts couldn't keep up.

  As for Nie Han, he remained calm and composed. After entering the battle, he didn't say another word, all his attention was focused on this fight, or rather, on this sword. The sword and man seemed to have no distinction at this moment.

  Suddenly, Nie Han's sword path changed, and his sword technique transformed from continuous and unrelenting to fierce and violent, but the speed remained unchanged.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Five consecutive clear and crisp sounds, then with the naked eye, five dancing emerald green lights can be seen flying out in all directions without rules, either shooting into the ground or into the tree trunks, stirring up several dusts and wood chips...

  Having lost the protection of the flying dart, Qingji's entire body was exposed defenselessly under Nie Han's sword. Nie Han was definitely not a master who would spare her life because she was a woman. The sword light was sharp and fierce, stirring up waves of strong winds.

  "Hmm!"

  Lu Jing endured the pain all over her body, and suddenly a layer of silver light appeared on her entire arm, shining with a metallic luster.

  "Boom!"

  The long sword struck, and the Green Lady simply reached out to resist it. Sparks flew everywhere as they collided, and beads of sweat could be seen falling from the Green Lady's forehead.

  Nie Han's eyes changed for the first time, and his hand strength increased again. He wildly swung his sword down, as if he was holding an axe instead of a sword.

  Everyone present was stunned, except for Yang Lin. Rong Qiusheng's expression was shocked, while Yang Yuxi had a face of worship and infatuation, it was unclear whether she was looking at Nie Han or Lü Fei.

  Lu Tianyou's eyes were filled with shock, this was what a true strong man looked like!

  Lu Fei angrily shouted again and again, but unfortunately Nie Han's strength was really too great, she couldn't resist at all. Her entire body was constantly being knocked down, the last sword seemed to contain a thousand kilograms of force, suddenly slamming Lu Fei's body into the ground, only exposing her upper half.

  Lu Jing's face was covered in blood, struggling to get out, but was suppressed by the majestic aura in front of her.

  "Hmm?" Green Lady raised her head and looked at the sturdy man in front of her, inexplicably trembling with fear.

  Lu Jing only then carefully sized up the man in front of her, his physique was extremely tall and large, like a towering mountain, with an aura that was majestic and stern. The armor he wore made him look even more powerful, his already robust body seemed to be bursting with masculinity.

  "I told you, don't be too arrogant." Nie Han looked down at Lu? Qi with an expressionless face.

  "Hmph, don't be too smug." Lu Fei may have lost, but the pride in her heart wouldn't allow her to back down just yet.

  Nie Han didn't get angry and calmly said: "Don't overestimate yourself too much, defeating you isn't anything to be proud of."

  "Ah!" Green Lady was enraged, her anger reaching extreme levels, and as she opened her mouth, another mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.

  Nie Han stared at her for a moment, confirming that she couldn't make any big moves, then turned around and walked away, the armor on his body making a victorious clanging sound.

  Just as Nie Han turned to leave, just as Lü Ji gazed longingly at Nie Han's back, just as everyone's vigilance had decreased, the third and fourth carriages suddenly erupted with a powerful fluctuation. This fluctuation was almost about to surpass the Extreme Dust boundary.

  An absolutely overwhelming fluctuation locked onto Nie Han in an instant, trapping his body and rendering him immobile. Nie Han's face changed color as he realized he couldn't move at all. This power was at least that of the Extreme Dust Eight Heavens, and it was definitely not something he could resist with his current abilities.

  A powerful force clearly made a fatal move, intending to kill Nie Han with one blow.

  Ruzuo Sheng changed color and didn't care about the disparity in strength. He wanted to come out and rescue, but was stopped by Yang Lin.

  Rujiaosheng looked at Yanglin with a puzzled expression, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. At this moment, Yanglin's face was gloomy, he had never seen Yanglin like this before, nor had Yangyuxi who was standing beside him.

  Yang Lin was like a male lion seeing its own child in danger, anger stirring up his slightly graying hair, flying all over the sky.

  Then everyone felt a tremendous pressure like a flood beast descending from the sky, Yang Lin took a step forward, his right hand lightly stroking, an invisible wave of movement like a sharp sword, dissolving the powerful aura locked onto Nie Han's body.

  Things didn't end there, the moment the breath dissipated, the third and fourth carriages suddenly shook violently, then "Boom" exploded, two disheveled figures flew out from within, each with a pale face, their eyes filled with intense fear and dread.

  Yang Yu Xi Luo Tian You and others who were relatively weaker only thought Yang Lin was being arrogant, but didn't have any substantial winter, however, in Ru Qiu Sheng's heart a stormy wave had risen, because the strength Yang Lin showed earlier absolutely surpassed Extreme Dust, even surpassing Heavenly Man! Due to this feeling, Ru Qiu Sheng had only felt it on some of the leaders' bodies within the sect.

  "What kind of person is this Yang Lin?!"
