I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 219 - 217: Xi Yuan Tournament (Part 43)
Li Xing’s punch completely enraged Lin Yin, and he spread his hand open, a black sphere quickly formed above his palm.
"Netherworld Demon Cannon——!"
Lin Yin pushed with his palm, and the black sphere flew toward Li Xing.
The sphere didn’t make any sound and flew lightly in the air without any momentum, but Li Xing felt a strong decaying aura from it. This aura was identical to the one emanating from Lin Yin, only a hundred times stronger.
Noticing the danger of the black sphere, Li Xing quickly distanced herself from Lin Yin, swinging her fist and shooting out a fire dragon to envelop the sphere.
To Li Xing’s surprise, as soon as the flames touched the sphere, they quickly collapsed inward, with all the heat absorbed by the sphere.
Having absorbed the abnormal fire energy, the sphere noticeably enlarged, like a maggot attached to bones, continuing to advance towards Li Xing.
Li Xing snorted coldly in her heart, Dark Elemental Spirit is indeed troublesome!
Li Xing executed the Green Smoke Step, maneuvering deftly, distancing herself from the sphere while attacking Lin Yin. The Netherworld Demon Cannon was Lin Yin’s martial arts technique, defeat him, and the sphere would break on its own.
Lin Yin also saw through Li Xing’s intentions, doing his best to maintain distance from her, not giving her any chance for close combat. Whenever Li Xing attacked from afar with flames, he would release another sphere to absorb the energy. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Gradually, the number of spheres in the battle area reached six, and the terrifying pressure forced the onlookers to retreat dozens of meters.
Ye Qingting and Qi Ming were so tense their stomachs hurt. Lin Yin was much stronger than during the Tianyi Contest, and Li Xing was indeed struggling to dodge the attacks of six Netherworld Cannons simultaneously.
In the battle area, six Netherworld Cannons were closing in on Li Xing from different angles. Even if Li Xing’s body, tempered by the Eternal Green Technique, was as tough as refined gold, it would be corroded by the slightest touch.
The Netherworld Cannons were substantial yet insubstantial, and the slight airflow from their movement could make them change direction, quickly converging towards any inhabited area.
Chased by the Netherworld Cannons, Li Xing became furious and drew the Heavenly Wolf Saber, striking down on a Netherworld Cannon before her with unstoppable force. The xuan blade seemed to split the void, and the Netherworld Cannon in front was instantly cleaved in two.
Li Xing was both surprised and delighted, the ancestral saber was truly divine, even the corrosive power of the Netherworld Cannon couldn’t affect it in the slightest.
Lin Yin was also stunned by this unexpected strike from Li Xing; ever since his Primordial Spirit awakened, he had never encountered such a situation.
It was unbelievable that a weapon could even cut through the Netherworld Demon Cannon!
Li Xing didn’t give the Netherworld Cannon a chance to recover; the blade cut through like a swift storm. The head-sized Netherworld Cannon was sliced into star-like debris by Li Xing’s Heavenly Wolf Saber, disappearing into oblivion with a "pop".
Li Xing spun her wrist swiftly, attacking another Netherworld Cannon.
Lin Yin was appalled, waving his hand to recall the remaining Netherworld Cannons. The Netherworld Cannons were condensed from his body’s dark elements, and if all were destroyed by Li Xing, his Primordial Spirit would be severely affected.
The more anxious Lin Yin was, the more Li Xing thwarted his plan, weaving the Heavenly Wolf Saber into a mighty, wind-whipping net, blocking all the Netherworld Cannons’ paths.
Lin Yin, in distress, waved his dual axes at Li Xing. Li Xing’s movement technique was agile and elusive; she avoided Lin Yin while taking the chance to sever his connection with the Netherworld Cannons, shattering them one by one.
In an instant, the tide of the battle turned; the remaining five Netherworld Cannons were chopped like melons by Li Xing, dissipating into the air.
Without the interference of the Netherworld Cannons, Li Xing finally had a free hand to deal with Lin Yin. Her toes tapped the ground, her body rocketing towards Lin Yin like a cannonball, the Heavenly Wolf Saber high above, slashing diagonally down at Lin Yin.
Lin Yin crossed his axes, energy surging through his arms, blocking Li Xing’s strike. Li Xing quickly shifted her weight to her right hand holding the saber, pressing down forcefully while curling her right leg to deliver a fierce kick.
This sudden sweep caught Lin Yin unguarded, hitting him squarely in the upper abdomen. A tremendous force sent Lin Yin flying backward; he barely steadied himself, carving a deep groove with his heel on the ground as he slid for over a dozen meters before stopping.
Lin Yin’s insides churned, bitterness at his throat; had he not suppressed it, he would have spat blood already.
Li Xing casually rested the Heavenly Wolf Saber on her shoulder, tilting her chin towards Lin Yin: "Want to keep fighting?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see Lin Yin’s Primordial Spirit was depleted, and his insides were injured. He was no longer Li Xing’s match.
On the other side, Cui Tianxiao eagerly placed his hand near the competition flag, just waiting for Lin Yin to admit defeat so he could be the first to pull the flag.
Lin Yin glared at Li Xing reluctantly, biting his teeth but refusing to speak. Li Xing chuckled, extending her saber horizontally, the tip pointing directly at Lin Yin.
"Not convinced? Then let’s keep going until you are convinced!"
The two clashed again, but Lin Yin’s speed and power were clearly inferior to before. He was knocked down a second time by Li Xing within just ten exchanges. The impact aggravated his injuries, and Lin Yin couldn’t hold back any longer, vomiting a lot of clotted blood.
But after spitting blood, Lin Yin crawled back up to attack Li Xing again, only to be knocked flying once more.
Li Xing sheathed the Heavenly Wolf Saber, speaking helplessly, "Lin Yin, when you lose, you admit it. Do you really want me to kick you out of the ring?"
"Cough, cough—cough! You’re just relying on a powerful weapon, merely lucking out to break my Netherworld Demon Cannon, what skill is that?"
Lin Yin’s attitude enraged the watching Ye Qingting. "Weapons are also part of one’s strength, no matter how good they are, someone has to wield them. Ah Xing won fair and square; what do you find unfair?"
Having said that, Ye Qingting turned to Song Shurun, her face displeased, "Captain Song, if your team’s attitude is like this, then we might as well not form an alliance!"
"This..." Song Shurun suddenly felt a headache. If he could control Lin Yin, that would be the miracle.
Song Shurun looked to Bai Ling for help, hoping she would mediate, but she quickly turned away.
What a joke, their Desert Boat Team was just here as a backdrop; if they wanted to fight, they could go ahead without dragging them into it.
Lin Yin climbed up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva, and dragged his heavy body step by step towards Li Xing.
Li Xing saw him struggling to even stand, yet still unwilling to concede, finding the situation a bit tricky. They had clearly agreed to determine rankings by victory, not a life-and-death duel, so what was the need for stubbornness? Was he performing some kind of tragic heroic act?
The key issue was that delaying here and not pulling the flag was disadvantageous to both teams. Lin Yin must have lost his mind!
Seeing Lin Yin already within arm’s reach, Li Xing sheathed the Heavenly Wolf Saber, striking a palm toward his chest. Since he refused to admit defeat, he might as well be ruled out.
Just as Li Xing’s hand was about to touch Lin Yin, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
The light of the Transmission Array suddenly appeared one zhang in front of the competition flag, and from Li Xing’s angle, she saw it all too clearly, a chill running down her spine.
With no time to deal with Lin Yin, Li Xing executed the Green Smoke Step, sprinting towards the competition flag, shouting as she ran:
"Ah Xiao, pull the flag quickly!"
