His sword was just waiting for the moment you could dodge!
He turned the edge of the sword, turning the tip downward. This time, the transformation was extremely beautiful, he was perfectly stuck on Xia Ling's dodging route.
Even he himself was particularly satisfied.
But in that instant, he felt something was wrong. Wait, isn't this old man's dodging speed too slow?
When he struck out with his sword, it was obvious that he had made a certain prediction. This was because once a cultivator reached the Vein Refining rank, their every movement would be extremely fast. If he did not make a prediction in advance before attacking, then it was clear that he would miss.
It was just that he did not expect to overestimate this old man. His dodging speed was too slow.
According to his speed, even if he didn't change his moves, he could still stab him directly. The cultivator thought gloomily.
He was also surprised to notice it now. Because Xia Ling's speed was too slow, after he changed his move, he actually stabbed at empty air!
Damn it!
Then, when he wanted to change his move again, he found that it was already extremely difficult. To be able to change direction twice in such a short period of time was not something that a cultivator of his level could do.
However, what was waiting for him was a simple Longsword!
Actually, Xia Ling clearly saw this cultivator's intentions just now.
At such a close distance, Xia Ling could judge the opponent's fighting style from the Genuine Qi that was flowing through the opponent's muscles. He could clearly see which sword was real, which sword was virtual, and which sword needed to be changed.
Therefore, when the opponent made this plan, Xia Ling also happily followed the path that the opponent wrote down.
He did what the opponent wanted him to do, dodging the attack. However, this was no ordinary dodging technique.
Xia Ling's dodging had a slight change in speed.
When activated, the dodging speed was extremely fast. Then, the opponent suddenly slowed down after changing his usual route.
In such close combat, every time he tried to dodge, the range would be less than ten inches. In such a short span of time, Xia Ling had to suddenly activate it, fool his opponent, and instantly slow down his speed — this was the control over his body, a result of his perfection!
In that short moment, he had cleanly tricked him. Xia Ling held the Longsword and with a gentle wave of his hand, it pierced through the opponent's chest like a butterfly piercing through a flower bush!
The opponent never thought that Xia Ling would take advantage of such a small opening to complete his counterattack! There was still an incredulous expression on his face as he slumped to the ground.
Yes, that's right, Xia Ling was very satisfied. He did not reveal his strength, did not use any sword moves, and instead used a bewitching battle to kill his opponent.
Alright, there are still two people left.
Just when Xia Ling was about to kill the two of them, he suddenly found it hard to fulfill his wish.
This was because the successive attacks had already frightened the two cultivators out of their wits.
That's right. They even thought that Xia Ling was just lucky when it came to the previous exchange. They knew exactly what their companions were planning. This was a deceptive maneuver. Even if they were to face it themselves, it would be easy for them to hit it directly.
Who would have thought that this old man would still be able to dodge under such circumstances? Is there a mistake?!
The two of them suddenly had a thought; they couldn't continue fighting. This cultivator was too bizarre!
If they continued to fight, the two of them would most likely have problems as well!
Originally, this mission should have gone smoothly, but these strange losses had caused the remaining two to completely lose their confidence!
In any case, the old man didn't dare do anything since he was being watched by the Congealing Void cultivator! He would retreat temporarily and teach him a lesson later.
The two men had made up their minds and were no longer burdened. Without a second word, he left his companions and ran away!2
This old man was too bizarre. If he were to remain here, he might even be knocked down!
I didn't expect these two people to be so unyielding. Seeing the two cultivators run, Xia Ling could only sigh. If he were to still maintain the speed of a middle stage Vein Refining, facing the running Vein Refining of two High Rank cultivator, he would obviously not be able to catch up to even a shadow.
But if he had used true speed, then all that patience would have been wasted. Forget it, let them run. Xia Ling quickly calmed down. In any case, leaving the two of them would not affect the overall situation.
Just as he was about to leave the alley once more, his eyes swept over Yojun's body. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
This brain of hers is not that good, a cultivator actually brought something good.
These kinds of worms were rarely seen in his impression of them.
On Yuv Daoda's arm, there was a black bug lying quietly.
It seemed like a common type of beetle, but it was also a bit smaller than the beetle. It just laid there quietly, as if it was dead.
If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a spot on Yuv Daoda's skin.
In Xia Ling's memory, these bugs were probably called Hidden Worm.
Thirty thousand years ago, this kind of bug was only found in the deep forests of the mountains to the far south. Due to the small amount and size, there were very few Hidden Worm in the Modern World.
However, this kind of insect had a very ingenious effect. Its juice had a very strong anesthetic properties, causing humans and even cultivators to be mesmerized as if they were sleepwalking!
He only needed to gently stab the back of the head and squeeze in a drop!
The hypnotized person was almost completely devoid of consciousness, and would only listen to the simple commands of the people around them. And after waking up, he had no memories at all!
This was a very overbearing poison!
Of course, as the level of the cultivator increases, it will have a certain resistance to the venom of these small insects. But this resistance was built on the foundation of a sufficient number of Genuine Qi. In other words, if the cultivator was too tired or injured, he could still be hit.
And once caught, it would be devastating!
How terrifying was the effect of having one's consciousness under the command of another?
Even Xia Ling had only heard of these kinds of small insects, he had never seen any kind of actual objects before. If not for the fact that his library was rich in information and had illustrations. Most likely, it would just be passed over like an ordinary bug.
Since he found out, then Xia Ling will not be polite. He took out a small porcelain bottle. The inner force from his fingertip stealthily sucked on the black bug and sucked him into the air. With a flick of his finger, he placed it into the bottle and quickly closed the lid.
From Xia Ling's impression, these Hidden Worm ate blood. No wonder Yuv Daoda placed it on his arm. However, Xia Ling had no intention of letting him suck his own blood. How tyrannical was Wu Tie's blood? What should he do if it swelled to death?
It was not an exaggeration to say that Xia Ling's bloodline was pure sword intent. Not to mention small insects, even cultivators would not be able to withstand it.
