The Immortal Taoist Chapter 37

Chapter 37 - Defeating Xie Linger, Enter the top five

"Are you sure you want to compete against me in terms of sword speed?"

Ling Dao's straightforward reply instead caused Xie Linger to feel embarrassed. After all, everyone knew that Xie Linger relied on her swift sword to reach her current stage, but Ling Dao did not.

If it was just comparing speed alone, even people like Teng Shaofeng did not think that they could beat Xie Linger. Up until now, the outer sect disciples had not seen a sword faster than Xie Linger. Even Ling Dao's sword strike had only made him think that was evenly matched, and in fact, was slower than her.

"Mm, take out your sword!"

Such a relaxed and casual attitude made Xie Linger pout angrily. In her opinion, Ling Dao had obviously underestimated her. Since that was the case, then she would show Ling Dao just how fast her sword was.

"Alright, receive my sword!"

Xie Linger huffed and puffed and then pulled out his sword. With a flash of silver light, her sword had already arrived in front of Ling Dao. If it was an ordinary opponent, they would already be caught off guard by this sword attack.

However, this time Xie Linger's opponent was Ling Dao, the others did not even see Ling Dao pull out his sword, since when Xie Linger's sword was less than three feet away from Ling Dao's sword, Ling Dao's sword had blocked Xie Linger's sword.

"So fast!" No wonder you dare to compete with me! "

A trace of surprise flashed through Xie Linger's large eyes, but she did not expect Ling Dao's sword to be so fast. Such an opponent was the best opponent she had. The previous opponents were too boring for her to display her full strength.

"Since you're so powerful, then I won't hide anything. Watch my sword!"

A strong wind suddenly blew at Xie Linger's side for a while. The current her was completely different from before, as if she had become a spirit of wind. Her sword seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind.

It could be said that Xie Linger's sword already had the scent of wind, no wonder why her sword could come out so fast. Moreover, under her full strength, her sword was faster than her sword, and in just a short moment, the other outer court disciples were no longer able to see her sword.

"If it were anyone else, the speed of your sword would indeed be inferior to yours, but it's a pity that you're still inferior to mine!" The wind may be fast, but it's a pity that it's not as fast as lightning! "

No matter how fast Xie Linger's attack was, it was easily blocked by Ling Dao. Those outer sect disciples could only hear the clashing of metals one after another. They could no longer see Ling Dao's and Xie Linger's swords any longer.

Just then, Xie Linger took out a small sword and rushed towards Ling Dao. She had already used this move, so Ling Dao naturally had been prepared for it. Just by dealing with Xie Linger's swift sword, Ling Dao himself was already adept at handling.

"You've lost!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the field like a bolt of lightning. The small sword in Xie Linger's left hand was instantly knocked flying, and even the long sword in her right hand was completely ungrasped, and flew out as a result.

A sword was resting on Xie Linger's neck, her eyes were round. She simply did not expect that Ling Dao's sword would actually be fast to such an extent. Even she herself had no way of resisting it, let alone the others.

"Your sword is faster than mine, and you lost with all your heart and soul!"

Ling Dao's final strike was like a bolt of lightning, no matter how fast the wind was, it could not compare to the speed of the lightning. Xie Linger picked up her sword and walked down the stage.

"This kid, his concealment is really deep!"

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Xin looked at Ling Dao a few times. From being obscure at the start to winning by fluke, to him showing off his strength now, he was simply not the same person. Even Zhuang Xin had a whole new level of respect for him.

Previously, everyone had thought that Xie Linger and Li Shengxiong were the two great dark horses this time around. However, now it seemed that Ling Dao was the greatest dark horse. Even Teng Shaofeng and Xie Linger had successively lost to Ling Dao's sword.

"I never thought that Jiang Ren would actually have such dog shit luck, and found such an outstanding outer disciple. That kid is already in the top ten. What we need to do now is to make him lose the next match! "

"We have to arrange a strong opponent for him, otherwise we won't be able to fight. If even Teng Shaofeng has lost, then we can only let Xia Xinyao take action! "

These Elders had a good plan, but unfortunately, their plan didn't succeed. Just as they were about to arrange the next competition, Vice Sect Master Zhuang Xin stood up and coldly swept his eyes over them.

"You are the top ten disciples of this year's outer sect competition, you have performed quite well! For the next match, I will arrange it and decide it through lots! "

If Zhuang Xin had not interfered at the moment, Ling Dao would probably be fighting to death with him. But Ling Dao didn't mind, since it didn't matter who he fought with, it would be the same to him. What he wanted was number one, no one could stop him!

"Xia Xinyao against Zhao Muyang!"

"Wei Jingshan against the Iron Guard!"

"Zhong Zhenhai versus Yang Hu!"

"Ling Dao against Zhou Tiancai!"

"Li Shengxiong against Chai Yu Ze!"

Very quickly, the top ten rankers were decided. Ling Dao was facing Zhou Tian Ci, the former Seventh Brother. The first one to come out, was Xia Xinyao. His opponent, Zhao Mu Yang, was defeated by her in just three rounds.

Immediately after, Wei Jingshan defeated the Iron Guard, and in just ten moves. Zhong Zhenhai against Yang Hu, was nothing worth fighting, in just a few rounds, Yang Hu was sent flying along with his sword.

"Looks like I won't be able to enter the top five this time!"

Originally, he had planned to make it into the top five, but unfortunately, after knowing that his opponent was Ling Dao, he gave up. Teng Shaofeng's older senior brother was much stronger than him, but Teng Shaofeng was still defeated by Ling Dao's sword.

"Forget it, I admit defeat!"

If it was before the Large Competition, if he was to let Zhou Tian Ci go against Ling Dao, he was absolutely confident that he would win. It was a pity, however, that Ling Dao had now revealed his true abilities, and Zhou Tian Ci knew that he was not a match for Ling Dao, and was too lazy to take action. Even Ling Dao did not expect that it would be so easy this time.

The final battle would be between Li Shengxiong and Chai Yuze. Li Shengxiong was as fierce as ever, defeating Chai Yuze with his fierce sword. At this point, the top five of the outer court competition had appeared.

"Very good, you are all very strong. The following battle will be even more exciting!" My vice sect master has already arranged for Zhong Zhenhai to fight Wei Jingshan, Ling Dao fight Li Shengxiong. As for Xia Xinyao, we will directly win! "

No one objected to Zhuang Xin's arrangements. After all, Xia Xinyao was the eldest senior sister. It was normal for her to have such privileges. Moreover, the one who had always been the most unfathomable was Xia Xinyao.

"I never thought that my opponent would be you! "Your strength is not bad, but unfortunately, you can only go so far!"

Li Shengxiong was still as insolent as ever. Even if Ling Dao had already reached this step, he was absolutely confident that he could defeat him!
