Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yugui stretched out his other hand, and with a whoosh, a cloud of black smoke appeared directly from his hand.
Spell!
Smoke spell!
The smoke billowed into the air and rushed rapidly toward Lin Xiaofei.
At the same time, a giant beast not far away bared its fangs, its limbs flailing wildly as it stomped the ground, making a rumbling sound, and charged towards them at high speed.
Lin Xiaofei exerted force with both legs and took a big step forward to dodge the flying black smoke spell.
He leaped towards the giant rat, his longsword dancing in his hand, a surge of power gathering within his arm, an explosive force that flowed to the hilt of the sword, creating a flurry of sword shadows.
Just as the man and the rat were about to collide, the longsword flashed past with lightning speed.
In an instant, just as the longsword was about to slice through the giant rat's body, it trembled slightly and paused for a moment.
The sword light, with its overwhelming force, seemed to threaten its life.
It showed a hint of fear and shifted its body slightly.
Although Lin Xiaofei's physique resembles that of an eleven or twelve-year-old child, his muscular strength far surpasses that of an ordinary adult, and he already possesses the strength of a late-stage ordinary martial artist.
Combined with Xiao Cheng's Eighteen Swift Wind Swords and the wrist power he learned from Da Cheng's Piercing Flow Palm, his swordsmanship was as fierce as a small whirlwind.
Such overwhelming momentum made the giant rat feel a little scared. In the less than a second it paused, the sword shadows dancing wildly in Lin Xiaofei's hand flowed down like a waterfall.
The Eighteen Swords of Gale!
Sword after sword, three swords combined, the power on the blade increased exponentially, the speed of this sword was like a lightning bolt flying by, very fast.
Sizzle!
The slight resistance from the hilt of the sword in Lin Xiaofei's hand disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the longsword passed through the giant rat's body with silk.
One of the rat-beast's hind legs was severed, and it fell to the ground.
Blood splattered!
Lin Xiaofei ignored the splattered blood still warm on his face, his internal energy circulating rapidly as he once again wielded his longsword.
At the same time, he swallowed another protective pill that he had been holding in his mouth.
Instantly, Lin Xiaofei's entire body was enveloped in an invisible heat, making his skin feel as if seven or eight layers of cowhide were stacked together, greatly increasing its resilience.
A cloud of dark smoke flew by, making him very wary, so he strengthened his defenses to avoid being hurt.
As he flashed past, the cloud of smoke that flew by grazed him!
Sizzle!
The smoke hit a large tree behind him, making a hissing sound. Lin Xiaofei easily dodged it, and felt a sense of relief.
"You've been hiding your strength? No, you must have taken some kind of pill that can increase your strength in a short period of time."
Zhang Yugui said with a surprised look that he had investigated Lin Xiaofei's background three times and confirmed it multiple times. He said that Lin Xiaofei was just a child from a poor family in a poor village who only had good talent for martial arts.
Although Lin Xiaofei's current strength is too amazing, already possessing the strength of an ordinary late-stage martial artist, he believes that a child who has been practicing martial arts for less than four months could not possibly have such combat power.
It should be understood that even for a genius, it would take at least three or four years to reach the late stage of an ordinary martial artist.
Therefore, he immediately doubted that Lin Xiaofei had such strength, guessing that the other party must have swallowed some kind of pill, which caused his strength to increase rapidly in a short period of time.
Lin Xiaofei listened without replying, circulated his internal energy, and leaped forward, rushing quickly towards Zhang Yugui.
He drew his longsword, ready to strike with a single, deadly blow!
Suddenly, his surroundings changed, and he was startled.
What was originally a forest of withered leaves and a pool of water not far away instantly transformed into a rushing river in front of him. The surging river was so powerful that it seemed to want to drown everything.
Just as Lin Xiaofei was about to charge forward, Zhang Yugui unleashed a spell.
Illusion Technique!
Lin Xiaofei's expression changed slightly, but the long sword in his hand did not stop at all. He charged forward and the sword passed through in one stroke!
Click!
The surging river before me was like a mirror cleaved in two by a sword, shattering completely with a crack.
Illusion is a low-level spell that can confuse a person's eyes and mind. However, since Lin Xiaofei's mental strength increased, his perception has greatly improved, and he can immediately see through the scene in front of him. This low-level spell has no effect on him at all.
Lin Xiaofei's lightning-fast sword strike not only shattered the illusion of the long river before him, but also charged forward relentlessly, the sword light reaching Zhang Yugui and slicing past him in a single motion.
"ah!"
Zhang Yugui screamed in agony as a deep gash appeared on his chest, splattering blood everywhere.
Zhang Yugui is a cultivator, and his spells are a strange and unfathomable art to non-cultivators. However, Zhang Yugui's physical strength is only slightly better than that of an ordinary adult.
Lin Xiaofei is now capable of unleashing the strength of an ordinary late-stage martial artist. Even without wielding a sharp longsword, he can still kill Zhang Yugui with a single full-force palm strike.
"The Eighteen Swords of Gale, Three Swords Combined as One!"
A murderous glint flashed in Lin Xiaofei's eyes. Seeing the giant rat, which had lost a leg, charging at him again, he ignored it and unleashed another sword technique.
Sword after sword, swords crisscrossing up and down, sword light flashing past, several long sword shadows flashing on the ground.
"Get them there now!"
Zhang Yugui's eyes were wide with terror, his face filled with panic, and he shouted loudly.
At the same time, he endured the pain in his body and reached out to condense a spell!
Earthen wall technique!
Click!
The flying sword blade, carrying immense force, shattered a yellowish-brown earthen wall that had appeared out of nowhere.
However, just as the sword-cutting-the-earth-wall technique paused, the giant rat charged over.
"Creak!"
A strange roar rang out, and the giant rat opened its mouth wide, revealing a pair of sharp, sword-like fangs, and pounced.
Lin Xiaofei was startled and quickly turned around, pulling back the long sword that was about to strike Zhang Yugui, and slashed at him with the sword.
The sword was slashed hastily, with limited force; the longsword seemed to strike the surface of a wooden stake.
The toughness of this rat-beast's hide is more than three times that of cowhide. At the same time, the force of its attack is actually at the level of a mid-stage martial artist. In particular, its sharp fangs pierced through Lin Xiaofei's clothes and almost injured his body.
His sword only sliced through a layer of the rat-beast's flesh; not even a drop of blood flowed, and it did not harm the rat-beast at all.
At this moment, the rat-beast seemed to have gone mad, fearless of death, and pounced repeatedly, almost disrupting Lin Xiaofei's sword-drawing movements.
"Sixth move, Gale Slash, Three Swords Combined!"
Lin Xiaofei stared coldly at the rat beast, his long sword flashing repeatedly.
He was somewhat surprised that the injured giant rat could still exert the strength of an ordinary mid-stage martial artist.
However, the giant rat had lost a hind leg, which slowed its movement and made it less agile than him.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei swallowed a stamina pill, and his strength was instantly restored. He then leaped to the side.
At this moment, the giant rat opened its mouth, ready to bite, and pounced. As it brushed past him, it was pricked by the rat's front paw.
