Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1214 - 1212: Take Out the Xuanyuan Sword Before I Regret It!
What other method is there!
No method at all!
Lin Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the Fifth Sword Emperor, unsure of what the other party wanted to say.
He thought this in his heart but did not speak it out loud.
Because the expression on the Fifth Sword Emperor's face was very serious, not seeming like he was joking.
Furthermore,
he didn't want to argue with the opponent any further. Whether there was a way or not, he had to go, and he couldn't delay another moment.
Even though he knew that going this time could likely be a one-way trip.
"You've witnessed Ling Wudeng's strength."
"Yes."
"In your current state, it's impossible for you to be his match."
"I know."
"So, you know you are going to your death."
"I know."
Lin Fan nodded heavily, with no expression on his face.
"Sword Emperor, my mind is made up. You don't need to dissuade me anymore. No matter what you say, I won't change my mind. I must go. I have to go."
The Fifth Sword Emperor let out a long sigh, stood up, and placed both hands behind his back.
He paced forward and came directly to Lin Fan's face.
"I certainly know I can't dissuade you, and besides, I won't try to anymore. I'm old; I can't passionately deal with young people's matters. If it were me in my younger days, perhaps I would support you."
"Since that is the case, I will take my leave first."
As Lin Fan was about to leave, the Fifth Sword Emperor slowly said, "I have a method that can help you, to assist you in repelling Ling Wudeng; don't you want to hear it?"
Lin Fan's body suddenly shuddered, looking at the Fifth Sword Emperor in astonishment.
"You have a way to defeat Ling Wudeng?"
The Fifth Sword Emperor gave a slight, enigmatic smile.
Lin Fan's body was suddenly filled with boiling blood, exceedingly excited. If he could really defeat Ling Wudeng, then the chances of rescuing Mo Ningxiang would significantly increase.
Although there was still Dongmen Buju afterward, he could choose to avoid battle, rescuing Mo Ningxiang first before making any plans.
Therefore,
as long as he defeated Ling Wudeng, there would be a chance to ascend the mountain and adapt to the situation to rescue Mo Ningxiang.
He was initially frowning, wondering how to handle the tricky Ling Wudeng, but now he was overjoyed, having not expected the Fifth Sword Emperor to have held back a trump card.
But,
he was still somewhat puzzled.
"Sword Emperor, since you have a way to defeat Ling Wudeng, why didn't you use it earlier? When you saved me just now, you could have defeated Ling Wudeng directly, saving me the trouble again."
Lin Fan wasn't truly feeling troubled, just that killing Ling Wudeng would delay his time ascending the mountain.
The Fifth Sword Emperor shook his head and revealed a slight bitter smile.
"I do wish to slay Ling Wudeng. As the top follower of the Sumeru Continent, his skills are noteworthy, and I have long wanted to cross swords with him. If I could kill him, it would rid the Sumeru Continent of a scourge. However, I don't have that capability."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Fan was even more puzzled, utterly unable to comprehend.
What did the Fifth Sword Emperor mean by this?
He said he didn't have the strength to slay Ling Wudeng, but he had a way; wasn't that contradictory?
"Sword Emperor, since you don't have the power...what method do you have?"
The Fifth Sword Emperor looked at Lin Fan with piercing eyes, which made Lin Fan feel a bit uncomfortable, with a sense of impending dread in his heart.
"I may not have the power, but you do."
"Me?!" Lin Fan was shocked and surprised. Wasn't it just said that going would be a death sentence? How did he suddenly have the ability to slay Ling Wudeng?
It increasingly made no sense.
"That's right, you. Although you don't have the power now, I have a way to give you that power."
The Fifth Sword Emperor said as he suddenly drew the Cloud Shadow Sword!
The sword's radiance was sharp, with a murderous aura.
A dragon's roar was heard as the Cloud Shadow Sword sliced through the Void, appearing in front of Lin Fan.
Moreover,
the sword seemed to be shrouded in clouds and fog, sometimes visible, sometimes not, with the Fifth Sword Emperor's hands motionless yet as elusive as a shadow, his whereabouts inscrutable.
As if hidden among the clouds and shadows.
Shocked!
Surprised!
Amazed!
Lin Fan suddenly took a step back, unsure of what the Fifth Sword Emperor intended to do.
Looking at the sword's gleaming blade, the sharpness was piercing, glimpsing it would evoke the deepest fears from within.
"Sword Emperor, this is..."
It was his first time observing the Cloud Shadow Sword so closely.
Indeed, it was extraordinary.
Previously, he had dueled with the Fifth Sword Emperor and witnessed the power of the Cloud Shadow Sword.
"What? Afraid I'll kill you?"
"No...no...the method you mentioned, you're not thinking of sending me to be reborn and start over, are you? That would take a bit too long. I can't wait," Lin Fan jested.
The Fifth Sword Emperor helplessly rolled his eyes.
Suddenly shouting sharply. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Take out the Xuanyuan Sword!"
"Ah?" Lin Fan was bewildered, not knowing what the Fifth Sword Emperor intended to do.
The Sword Emperor drew the Cloud Shadow Sword, and now wanted him to take out the Xuanyuan Sword; wasn't that implying a duel?
Currently, he didn't have the extra energy or Spiritual Power to spar with the Fifth Sword Emperor.
If the counterpart wanted to teach him swordsmanship, it wasn't necessary either.
Against an opponent like Ling Wudeng, swordsmanship had no effect at all.
It was like a woman fighting a man; if the woman hadn't been specially trained, she would be crushed in terms of power.
Absolute power overpowering meant one could never beat power with skill!
It's not in the same weight class, like a two-hundred-pound fatty against a hundred-pound skinny person, the outcome is predictable.
"Sword Emperor, if you want to teach me swordsmanship, there's no need. Ling Wudeng's power can't be challenged with swordsmanship," Lin Fan said coolly, brows furrowed.
"If you still want to rescue Mo Ningxiang, hurry up and take out the Xuanyuan Sword before I change my mind," the Fifth Sword Emperor explained nothing, his expression growing more complex.
And Lin Fan grew more puzzled.
"Change your mind? Change your mind about what?"
"Quick!"
The Fifth Sword Emperor gave no explanation, just urged Lin Fan persistently.
Having no choice, Lin Fan had to take out the Xuanyuan Sword.
Though he didn't know what the Fifth Sword Emperor wanted to do, seeing his expression was utterly urgent, hence the persistent urging.
He still didn't understand what the Fifth Sword Emperor meant by changing his mind.
He kept wondering what the regret was about.
"Here."
Lin Fan pursed his lips, placing the Xuanyuan Sword in front of the Fifth Sword Emperor, appearing completely powerless and compelled.
"Hold it firmly."
"Hold it fir..."
Lin Fan had not yet reacted when there was a sharp clang!
Bang!
The Xuanyuan Sword suddenly sent out immense energy, almost blowing Lin Fan away!
Lin Fan was startled, his body swaying. He quickly used both hands to grip the Xuanyuan Sword tightly to control that formidable Power.
What's going on?!
He looked at the Fifth Sword Emperor in astonishment and bewilderment.
The Fifth Sword Emperor remained expressionless, with an indifferent demeanor, lightly placing the Cloud Shadow Sword on the Xuanyuan Sword's blade.
Suddenly!
Brilliant light shone!
The Cloud Shadow Sword emitted dazzling silver light, piercing through the surrounding clouds of the blade, dispelling the concealed shadow and exposing the sword's core form before Lin Fan.
Meanwhile,
The Xuanyuan Sword was equally radiant with golden light, trembling violently, appearing to be in excruciating pain.
Lin Fan felt the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand like an untamed horse, impossible to control, threatening to fly from his grip at any moment.
"Sword Emperor, this is... what's going on?!"
Lin Fan frantically asked but received no response.
