Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 112: Qin Versus Lan Ming Part 1

Bang!

On the sky, the golden sparks spread wide as the golden light fell on his smiling face. The palm of Buddha was disintegrated by a single punch.

Thud!

Lan Ming landed on the ground with a smile on his face. But, his eyes stiffened when he saw Qin holding Chu Xieyi in his arms and walking away as if he didn't even care about his attack.

"Fellow Disciples, this little monk thanks you for helping me out." Guo Yang slightly bowed in front of Lan Ming from behind and thanked him.

"It's okay! Any more than that would have caused some serious damage to her. Isn't that right, elder?" Lan Ming swings his hand and smirked at the head elder who was standing next to them.

Hearing his words, the head elder asked "Do you want to fill the form and become the elder?"

Lan Ming's face instantly changed as if he was disgusted by that position and said "Nope! I am all good being a disciple."

"Then, can you stop interfering in the middle of the battle? And, can you stop stealing our job?" The head elder shouted at Lan Ming with frustration all over his face.

"I just wanted to help." Lan Ming made a sad expression and spoke while lowering his head.

The head elder sighed and spoke, "Do you think we are weaker than you?"

Hearing this question, Lan Ming opened his mouth as he raised his head but not a single word came out of his mouth.

"As a matter of fact, we are. The only elder that could possibly defeat you might be Elder Su and other inner court elders. But, don't forget we are still elders. You can apply for the job of elder if you like stopping battles like these. Until then, let us do our job."

When the head elder spoke, there was no shame on his face. He was only Essence Transformation Realm cultivator and even he doesn't believe he can destroy that Buddha palm this easily.

"I apologize, elder." Only when he heard his words, Lan Ming realized his mistake. He clenched his fist and found all of his mistakes and why he was doing this.

Make his family regret it!

That's what he wanted to do. And, that's why he has been constantly trying to gain attention from the crowd and elders. So, that his family will regret it till their intestine turns green.

The head elder nodded his head and declared Guo Yang the winner. It wasn't much of a surprise but many saw the happy expression on the head of elder face constantly which made them quite confused. They didn't understand why was he so happy?

Of course, he would be happy. After all, this competition showed many geniuses, some even stronger than them.

After Guo Yang and Chu Xieyi's battle, there were many other battles to determine the top ten. It wasn't so surprising that Qin and Lan Ming didn't get any challenges. Nobody dared to challenge them rather they were waiting for one of them to challenge the other.

At this moment, even without battling, Qin and Lan Ming were already in the top ten including Guan Xing, Zhao Tan, Guo Min, Tian Su, Chu Xieyi, and Guo Yang. After a few battles, Lan Ming finally challenged Qin.

Qin Che versus Lan Ming!

The entire crowd got hyped for this battle whether it was elders, audience, or participants. Everyone had their eyes on the battleground. Not only was the defensive array was strengthen, the elders were also prepared in the defensive mode.

At this moment, the excitement turned to the silence. Not a single word could be heard, everyone had their eyes on the battleground.

"It will be a pleasure to battle Brother Qin." Lan Ming greeted Qin with a smile on his face.

Qin was slightly surprised by the way Lan Ming addressed him. Unless they are his friends, they use junior or senior with brother. But, Qin got the reason behind it quickly.

He understood Lan Ming wanted to make a relationship with him. He smiled back and greeted "Pleasure is all mine."

"Since Brother Qin doesn't like to hold back against his opponent, I will go serious from the start. So, shall we start?" Lan Ming laughed as he spoke and clenched his fists. His blood energy trembled and flow through his body.

Blood Energy is unique energy produced by body cultivators. It helps the body cultivator to pour all of their physical strength into a certain part of their body. While punching with their fist, they can bring out the true strength of their realm and force it inside their fists.

Qin isn't a body cultivator. He does have a strong body but he hasn't followed the body cultivation. This is why he doesn't have the blood energy. Only the body cultivator like Lan Ming possesses such energy. Even Guo Yang and Zhao Tan has a strong body but this doesn't mean they have blood energy as well.

Hearing Lan Ming's words, Qin nodded his head and touched the hilt of his sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The next second, he unsheathed his sword three times and three different slashes compressed with wind and sword energy moved towards Lan Ming. But, Lan Ming's body flashes between those sword slashes without even using any movement art.

His body was has been nimble and fast like a snake. That's why he can easily dodge those sword slashes. Suddenly, three sword forms behind him giving him no space to dodge.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lan Ming didn't even think of dodging this. If he was powerless, then he could've thought that but now he simply swings his right left arm. His arm didn't have a single trace of qi in it but when it struck against the swords, it simply broke them without making a single scratch on his arm.

Though this doesn't mean he puts no effort into this. He did use the blood energy to pour his physical strength into his arms. Only by doing so, he was able to destroy it. But, suddenly, he clenched his right fist and smashed towards Qin.

He didn't touch Qin, rather he didn't even need to touch Qin. When he punched, he created a vacuum in the air with his immense strength. This pushed the air into the massive flow of wind. Although it was simply the flow of wind, it wasn't as easy as it seems.

After all, Guan Xing had already shown the power of the wind. Qin closed his eyes for a moment and suddenly unsheathed his sword.

Fwhoosh! Thud!

His sword cut through the wind but when it was cut apart, it blew even more fiercely, throwing away Qin. He collided with the ground and rolled a few times but got up quickly as soon as his speed slowed down.

Whoosh! Bang!

As he raised his head, he saw Lan Ming's fist in front of his face, he raised both of his hands and formed a defensive stance in front of his face by crossing his forearms. Lan Ming's fist hits his forearm and it hits truly hard, enough to make his hand tremble and sore for a moment.

But just as he was in the air flying towards the walls, he spun around and fell down on his back.

"Fire Serpent Art- Fire Steps"

His white qi burst out and transformed into the flames, firing out of his leg, slowing his movement. But, it still wasn't enough to stop him completely. Though it did prevent him from suffering from a huge collision and also give him a chance to settle a few seconds on the wall.

"Soaring Dragon!"

Suddenly, an immense force burst out of his foot as it created the hole in the wall. His body moved like a cannonball as it reached near Lan Ming. Qin held his sword tightly and compressed the wind qi inside it.

He was trying to be a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator as much as he could. That's why he must release his normal qi and then transform it into wind qi, only then he can infuse it inside his sword.

On another side,

Lan Ming clenched his fist. At this moment, his hand released grey qi and coats his arms with it as well as infusing the grey qi with the blood energy. He didn't wait for Qin to come towards him. He stomped his foot on the ground and rushed towards Qin.

"Fist Intent- My Fist is Desolate"

"Sword Cloak- Wind Breaker"

Qin unsheathed his sword and used one of his latest creations. It was the same as breaking the wind but he not only infuses wind qi but also uses his physical strength together with sword energy.

Bang!

His sword slashed horizontally while Lan Ming's fist came straight. Both of them collided with extreme force.

Whoosh! Bang! Thud!

As soon as they collided, the ground beneath them was broken and split apart with the sword energy spark and the fist intent burst out of his Lan Ming's fist. The next moment, Qin's body flew back like a cannonball and struck against the wall, falling to the ground.

Splash!

"Gah!"

On other hand, a slash appeared on Lan Ming's chest as he coughed out blood and placed his palm on his knees while staring at Qin. He knew Qin had used his physical strength to push himself and made a slash.

Although it seemed like Lan Ming dominated Qin with his physical strength, Qin poured exactly the same physical strength to slightly push his hand down. This gave his sword the exact moment to release the sword slash.

And, this also made Qin slightly down with his physical force, thus giving Lan Ming a chance to smash him on the wall.

So, who was more injured now?
