Chapter 19: Defeat! Fourth Update
As soon as the challenge letter was released, a huge sensation swept through the entire Star Pavilion.
In the past three months, Tang Lin's popularity has been soaring, and everyone knows him, especially seeing Tang Lin's progress speed, which has made many people secretly take notice.
At this moment, he heard that Tang Lin was going to challenge Du Gu Feng.
Everyone was shocked to know that Dugu Feng was ranked third on the Third Star Platform. Although he was only in third place, there was almost no one in the entire Star Pavilion who was willing to fight him.
The key is his sword.
Dugu Feng is the heir of the renowned Dugu family in the capital, the Dugu family was once a prominent clan in the Cangxue Dynasty, but after the inheritance of the "Dugu Swordsmanship", its power declined sharply, even so, people from this family are almost the descendants of the sword god!
Each person of the Dugu family is a sword.
Moreover, everyone has their own strengths in swordsmanship, and no one is willing to engage in a sword fight with the Dugu family!
Xing Ge, forty-seven floors.
In the martial arts room, a young man in gray clothes grasped a black sword and stared at a wooden stake in front of him. It was just an ordinary wooden stake, but he treated it as if it were a formidable enemy, staring tightly at the stake as if trying to kill it with his eyes.
Under his gaze, strange things happened.
Boom!
This tree trunk suddenly snapped in two.
No warning, no movement, the wooden stake suddenly split!
The youth in grey stood there, unmoving, his sword-holding posture unchanged, but the wooden stake had been split open in that instant.
The young man in grey let out a breath of relief. He chuckled and said, "It seems that I've already grasped the 'Shadowless Sword' quite well. Compared to Nie Qing's 'Myriad Illusions Sword', it should be even more superior."
It's just this——
The housekeeper bowed respectfully outside the door: "Master, your challenge letter."
"Huh?" The young man in gray clothes showed great interest and said: "Someone dares to challenge me? Hmm, who is it?"
The butler immediately opened the challenge letter, took a look, and said: "It's Tang Lin from the Eleventh Star Platform, challenging us to battle tomorrow."
"Tang Lin?" The young man in gray stroked his chin and said, "Seems like I've heard this name before... Oh, I remember now. This person seems to be Xiao Feng's younger brother, who has been very popular in Xing Ge recently, continuously defeating many martial gods. And yet he himself is still at the seventh boundary of martial god, a young genius. Hmm. Could it be that he wants to defeat me?"
"The housekeeper respectfully said: 'Master, are you going to decline?' "
"Of course not." The young man in gray clothes raised the corner of his mouth, with a wild and uninhibited tone, saying: "As a member of the Dugu family, I will never refuse any challenge! Whether the opponent is an insignificant ant or a powerful saint, it's not allowed to refuse battle!"
"A man can be defeated, he can die. But he cannot be intimidated!"
The youth in grey robes said proudly: "Respond to him, tomorrow on the battlefield. We'll wait for him!"
"Yes." The butler replied respectfully.
……
The second day, Star Pavilion, tenth floor.
Tang Lin and Second Sister arrived together.
"Are you really confident?" Tang Xiao Feng asked worriedly: "Although you are a strong martial god, but this Dugu Wind has already reached the level of multiple martial gods for many years, his swordsmanship is already transcendent and not as simple as you think."
Tang Lin clenched his fist and said, "If we fail, it's just a gain in combat experience. If we lose today, we'll fight again tomorrow!"
Tang Xiaofeng looked at him with approval and said, "Good! You're indeed my brother, you have a promising future!"
Tang Lin smiled with a hint of mischief.
He doesn't care about temporary gains and losses.
As long as you can get a quota before the end of the quota match, it's okay.
He chose Dugu Feng because he didn't have any confidence in his heart, but as the time drew near, he had no time to slowly improve, so he decided to see the strength of the top three strongmen on Xing Tai all at once!
Arrived at the battlefield.
Tang Lin's gaze swept out, and he saw dozens of figures standing outside the battlefield. This time's challenge duel was not like before when only a few people watched, such as Jun Yan Wang. Almost everyone in the entire Star Pavilion had come here.
Tang Lin swept his gaze over.
Only four people were absent, including that Windy Brother and Nie Qing Brother, as well as two others who ranked among the top five on the Starry Sky.
Everyone's gaze turned to Tang Lin's appearance, some with curiosity, some filled with playful teasing, and others with a smile that seemed to hold a deeper meaning.
Among these people, many were defeated by Tang Lin.
Tang Lin took a deep breath and stepped onto the battlefield.
Whoosh!
In the distance, a gust of wind came, and immediately afterwards, everyone saw that on the battlefield, a gray figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Dugu Wind!"
"He's here!"
Everyone is radiant at first sight.
The strong men in front of Xing Tai are usually studying martial arts every day, but it's not easy to see them.
"Can Tang Lin win with just eleven Star Cores?"
"This time he's really bold, but judging from his aura, it seems that he has reached the realm of Wushen, I don't know if he can defeat Dugu Feng."
"How is it possible? Dugu Feng is also a Martial God, how can he lose?"
Everyone was curious about this duel.
Tang Lin had previously defeated most of the strong martial gods in the Seven Realms, which made many people pay great attention to him. This time, Tang Lin broke through and became a Martial God, greatly increasing his power, and challenged Du Gu Feng again. Did he really have confidence in winning?
Tang Lin looked at the gray-clothed youth in front of him and found that there was no energy fluctuation on his body, just like an ordinary person. However, those handsome cheekbones and a smile with an unusual charm could make people notice him even among tens of thousands of people.
Wherever such people go, they are the focus of attention from all quarters.
"Are you Tang Lin?" The young man in gray clothes looked at Tang Lin with great interest and said, "I've heard of you. So you've reached the Martial God realm, no wonder you'd challenge me."
Tang Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior brother."
"Let's start." Dugu Feng waved his hand and said, "You have to be careful."
Tang Lin nodded. The two walked over to the weapon rack and each chose a fine iron long sword.
At the moment he grasped his sword, Dugu Feng seemed to have transformed into a different person. His smiling face was filled with fierce battle intent, his gentle eyes turned sharp, shining with a piercing light, like a vigilant leopard!
Tang Lin's intuition felt a sense of danger approaching.
"I'm starting now." Dugu Feng grasped the hilt of his sword. He looked up at Tang Lin, and with a sudden flash of movement, he appeared right in front of him.
"How fast!" Tang Lin was shocked in his heart.
He hastily swung his sword to block it.
Whoosh!
Dugu Feng's figure flashed and he appeared behind Tang Lin, whose eyesight couldn't keep up with Dugu Feng's speed.
"How is this possible!" Tang Lin was secretly shocked in his heart, "They are all powerful warriors of the Martial Gods, how can there be such a huge gap between them!"
Whoosh!
A sword gleam like a sharp whirring sound, suddenly stabbed from behind.
Tang Lin's heart skipped a beat. In an instant, he deployed the "Infinite Starry Sky" movement technique, and suddenly hundreds of Tang Lin's silhouettes appeared on the entire battlefield, filling it to the brim, and charging at Dugu Feng's body in unison.
Dugu Feng's mouth curved into a slight arc as he stared at one of Tang Lin's illusions, his eyes flashing with precision, and swung out his sword.
Boom!
Tang Lin's long sword in his hand was numb with shock. All of his split-body illusions disappeared instantly, and his body stiffened to lose its agility.
"How is this possible!" Tang Lin's mind was shocked. "Actually able to see through my Phantom Body's gap. Impossible!" He suddenly once again released several hundred Phantom Bodies.
Du Gu Feng smiled leisurely and made a slanting stab with the sword in his hand.
This simple and unadorned thrust seemed to seal off all space, and Tang Lin immediately felt that he had no room for retreat, only the option of wielding his sword to block.
Boom!
The two men parted ways after their fight.
Tang Lin's all phantom clones disappeared again.
Dugu Feng smiled and said, "Your swordsmanship and footwork are not bad. If you continue to practice for another year, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat you. However, your combat experience is still insufficient to break through to the power of a Martial God. It's too short!" As he spoke, his five fingers slowly tightened around the hilt of his sword.
"Let me show you what a real sword move looks like."
Dugu Feng's eyes turned solemn, his body suddenly flashed, and ten illusory figures appeared in the field, rushing towards Tang Lin together.
Whoosh!
As they approached Tang Lin's body, all the illusions suddenly merged into one. Dugu Feng's sword in his hand thrust forward, its light like a dazzling shooting star.
Tang Lin knew that this was the "Sword Tip" of the Seven Stars Sword Technique's first move. However, when executed by Dugu Feng, it didn't seem particularly fast, but Tang Lin felt a mesmerizing sensation, as if this sword would inevitably hit its mark no matter what!
Boom!
Tang Lin's sword blade was broken in his hand.
Dugu Feng's sword tip stopped at a distance of one inch from Tang Lin's forehead, then she put away her long sword and smiled lightly: "The way of the sword is the way of heaven. No matter what kind of martial art it is, every move is not just a simple posture. To exert its power, you need to concentrate all your spiritual energy!"
"Any move is the same." Dugu Feng tossed the sword in his hand back onto the weapon rack, and said to Tang Lin: "Work hard, I hope that after a year, you can become my opponent." After finishing speaking, his figure flashed and he directly disappeared from the battlefield.
Tang Lin was defeated!
Utterly defeated without suspense!
Tang Lin grasped the broken sword, and in his heart he really couldn't imagine that he would lose so quickly! Although he hadn't thought of winning, Dugu Feng's swordsmanship and footwork were completely beyond his understanding!
"Is every move the same?" Tang Lin's mind echoed with these words, he understood that Dugu Feng's understanding of martial arts was far beyond his own.
At this time, everyone in the audience looked at Dugu Feng leaving, and they were all shocked. It wasn't that they were shocked by Tang Lin's defeat, but rather they were shocked by Dugu Feng's strength!
Just now, Tang Lin couldn't even force Dugu Feng to use "Thousand Phantom Bodies"!
He didn't even get to display the latter moves of the Seven Stars Sword Technique.
It was just one simple move of "Sword Tip" that made Tang Lin lose!
What kind of state has Dugu Feng reached?
Some of the top ten people on the Star List had a glint in their eyes, they knew that Tang Lin's defeat was not because he was too weak, but rather, Dugu Feng was simply too strong!
He's almost as strong as Feng Shi Xiong!
The battle ended and everyone went their separate ways. Tang Lin returned to his residence accompanied by his second sister.
"Don't be discouraged." Tang Xiao Feng saw Tang Lin silently walking, softly comforted: "This Dugu Feng's strength has already surpassed the realm of Martial God, martial arts have reached the peak, simplifying complexity. This state can only be achieved by having a very deep understanding of martial arts. You are still young, in the future at his age, you will surely surpass him!"
Tang Lin smiled lightly and said: "I'm not disappointed. Although I lost this battle, I gained a lot! In a few days, I'll challenge him again!"
