The conversation with Hu Hongtu gave Lin Yang a clearer understanding of the demon race and the demon world. It was no longer just a simple concept and a vague impression like before.
After a conversation, both of them got the information they wanted, and the atmosphere between them suddenly became subtle.
While Lin Yang was thinking about what to do, Hu Hongtu had already taken action.
"Tiger Demon's Three Moves: Tiger Pounce."
The magical powers of the demon race are indeed very cheating. They are fast to activate, powerful, and tailor-made. They can be mastered quickly and used in different styles depending on the user, and can be used flexibly in battle.
Hu Hongtu is a veteran on the battlefield. He is the typical one who takes action immediately without any pre-war declarations.
From this point of view, Lin Yang is indeed a rookie.
Fortunately, Lin Yang had armor, and his defense had reached the level of the primary Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, Hu Hongtu's attack was useless to Lin Yang.
However, it means that the battle between the two people has begun.
Seeing Lin Yang standing still without any movement, yet receiving his attack without any injury, Hu Hongtu said in a deep voice
"Sure enough, I was wondering how a rookie could be so confident. Turns out he's wearing a tortoise shell. You're indeed a young master from a big family. Watch me smash your tortoise shell, little rookie."
Through the previous exchange, Hu Hongtu had already known that this little fellow was actually a core member of the Guigu Lin Clan. A battlefield veteran like Hu Hongtu naturally understood the importance of this clan in the world of cultivation!
Therefore, this child cannot be kept!
Hu Hongtu's attack was too fast, and without any warning. Lin Yang only realized that he was being attacked after he was attacked.
Although I had guessed that Hu Hongtu was powerful, I didn't expect him to be so powerful and have such a strong combat awareness.
After he reacted, he immediately summoned his natal flying sword and pointed it at Hu Hongtu from a distance, but he was surprised in his heart.
"I didn't expect Hu Hongtu to be so powerful. Luckily I prepared my armor, otherwise I would have been dead." He felt a surge of fear in his heart.
"I still have too little combat experience," Lin Yang concluded in his mind.
The spiritual sword in his hand slashed down, and the sword force attracted the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to condense into a huge sword aura, which appeared above Hu Hongtu's head and slashed down with the movement of the spiritual sword.
Hu Hongtu had rich combat experience. When he saw Lin Yang's movements and sensed the sword force, he immediately began to dodge to the right without waiting for the sword force to take shape.
Right hand straight chop, then dodge to the right. This is the experience Hu Hongtu has summed up from fighting with many sword cultivators. As soon as he saw Lin Yang's opening move, he knew that he was using the most common right hand straight chop. He immediately dodged to the right, avoiding Lin Yang's sword attack.
After Hu Hongtu dodged, he immediately said
"Little rookie, you can't hit me, haha..."
As he expected, Lin Yang swept his sword again.
Hu Hongtu used the 'Tiger Demon Three Moves' and the Tiger Demon dodged again.
"Little rookie, if you move a finger, I'll know what your next move is. You can't hit me, so just surrender. Since you've provided me with so much information, I'll spare your life."
Lin Yang didn't say anything and raised his hand diagonally again. He had discovered that Hu Hongtu was indeed a veteran on the battlefield and could predict his next move.
He is very passive now. This is Lin Yang's first time fighting against the demon clan. The demon soldiers in the past did not have human form, but beast form, which was not considered as a human form.
After taking human form, the demons became much stronger, and their movements became more flexible and varied.
Lin Yang didn't know how to deal with this passive situation, and he didn't stop attacking until he came up with a solution.
Although Lin Yang's sword momentum was predicted in advance, Hu Hongtu had to use the Tiger Demon's third move, Tiger Leap, to dodge it. Every use of this magical power consumed demonic energy.
"But compared to the energy consumption of the sword, it's much less. Human physical fitness can only reach its limit after ten times. I've already done it four times."
This Lin Yang was obviously a rookie, and he kept using sword moves. Hu Hongtu had never seen such a rookie swordsman.
What is sword power? It's a sword cultivator's ultimate move, one that needs to be used with caution. It's usually used in situations where 'success or failure depends on this one move', to determine victory or defeat. How could someone use it as an ordinary move like Lin Yang?
Hu Hongtu counted in his mind: five, six, seven, eight, almost there, almost there.
After using a few more moves, Lin Yang felt that this was not a solution. Based on his limited experience, he analyzed that the sword force was equivalent to a long-range big move, and it was because of the distance that Hu Hongtu had time to react.
I have armor, the opponent can't break my defense, I am not afraid of close combat, but the opponent should be afraid, because the distance is short. Even if Hu Hongtu predicts my next move, he probably won't have time to react.
With this analysis, Lin Yang gave up using sword moves, raised his sword and moved forward to start close combat with Hu Hongtu.
Hu Hongtu counted to eight, and Lin Yang began close combat. He thought to himself, "I didn't expect this rookie like Lin Yang to have reacted, but it's too late now. He's already used eight sword moves, and there are only two more to go. And the opponent's body is probably exhausted by now. It's too late to think about close combat, the sword cultivator's best skill!"
The demon race is also proficient in close combat. Hu Hongtu thought: "Close combat, who is afraid of who? Watch how I kill you, a little rookie. Tiger Demon Three Styles: Tiger Pounce"
Lin Yang and Hu Hongtu were both focused on close combat, so naturally, the melee engagement soon began. Lin Yang was also flustered during the melee. Many of the Five Elements Sword Techniques mastered during the Foundation Establishment Period felt rigid in actual combat, especially against a seasoned veteran like Hu Hongtu. He often failed to achieve his desired result, either failing to hit or achieving poor results.
Hu Hongtu's moves were simple, just the three moves of the tiger demon, either tiger pounce or tiger leap, and occasionally a tiger bite, but these three moves were used by Hu Hongtu to perfection, with a thousand changes, and he suppressed Lin Yang very much, which made Lin Yang very depressed.
Although the three tiger demon moves are the most common magical powers, they also consume demonic energy. Gradually, Hu Hongtu felt that 40% of his demonic energy was used up. However, Lin Yang, who he judged should have been physically exhausted a long time ago, was still lively and energetic, without any sign of exhaustion.
I made a mistake in judgment!
Hu Hongtu understood the great impact of misjudgment on the battlefield. The best outcome was a narrow victory, the most common outcome was defeat and escape, and there was a high possibility of death in battle.
Not only his physical body, but also his spiritual energy has not reached the bottom. Most sword cultivators would have their spiritual energy reached the bottom after such a fierce battle, but Lin Yang did not.
