Chapter 87: Gap
This ridicule made Ling Chen slightly stunned, and then the smile on his face slowly faded. Even though this woman saved him, he couldn't belittle himself in front of her.
"Although I don't know your identity, but I wonder if you can rival a great master at the age of sixteen?"
Ling Chen said in a strong voice.
"Haha, you're quite good at making excuses."
The woman in black sneered, obviously not taking Ling Chen's words to heart. She looked at Ling Chen and then her expression became a little serious. "You are seriously injured. Come with me, or you will become food for the strange beasts."
"You haven't revealed your name yet, so I can repay you for saving my life in the future." Ling Chen stared at the woman in black, his sharp eyes seemed to see through her veil.
The other party had easily killed the Grandmaster Prince Tai. With such strength, he must be a well-known figure in the martial arts world and a master of martial arts. And judging from the voice, the woman in black was very young, probably in her twenties.
A look of shock flashed across Ling Chen's eyes. Could this person be one of the four great heroes in the world?
Only the four young grandmasters who are known as the strongest in the martial arts world of the five countries can match the characteristics of this woman in black .
"You don't need to know this. You are too weak now. Knowing more may not be a good thing for you." The woman in black said indifferently.
Since the other party didn't say anything, Ling Chen didn't ask any more questions. However, he was sure that the other party had no ill will towards him. Perhaps he had a friendship with their family in the past.
But this is too much of a coincidence. He just encountered danger and the other party rescued him. This is definitely not a coincidence.
Could it be that this woman in black has been protecting him secretly?
Ling Chen became more and more curious about the identity of the woman in black.
Following the black-clothed woman, Ling Chen and the others arrived at a cave.
Ling Chen was hit by Prince Tai, and he was lucky not to be shattered into pieces.
Even so, after being struck by Prince Tai's sword, Ling Chen felt as if his right arm was about to break apart, and his internal organs were in a tangled mess.
"Take this solid pill."
The black-clothed woman flipped her bare hands, took out a pill the size of a pigeon egg, and asked Ling Chen to swallow it.
The pill melted in his mouth, and Ling Chen could immediately feel an extremely pure medicinal power entering his lower abdomen, and then quickly spreading to his limbs and bones, nourishing his damaged meridians and tendons, and nourishing his essence and blood.
Ling Chen's eyes lit up. This Heart Protecting Pill must be very valuable, at least a high-level second-grade pill. Otherwise, his injuries would never have recovered so quickly.
Moreover, it takes more than half a month to heal the injury.
"The fact that you were able to survive this disaster was entirely due to luck. You clearly had a chance to escape before, but you insisted on going for the Earth Core Fire Lotus. Not only did you waste time, but you also put yourself in danger. If you had escaped carefully, you might not have met that Grandmaster."
The woman in black said in a serious tone.
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If you don't try, how do you know if you can get it? The result was not very smooth."
Ling Chen said with a smile.
"You are such an ungrateful kid. I'm telling you, you won't be so lucky next time. I can only save you once, not for the rest of your life."
The woman in black shook her head. Ling Chen was just lucky this time. She happened to be by Ling Chen's side. She was not always with Ling Chen. If she was a hundred miles away and Ling Chen met Prince Tai, even the gods would not be able to save him.
"With my speed of improvement, I will be able to become a Grandmaster in a few years at most. By then, do you think I will need anyone's help?"
On the surface, Ling Chen still refused to admit his mistake, but he had already started to think about it in his heart. This time, he was indeed too reckless. If he did this again in the future, he would have to think twice before doing it.
"You're such an arrogant guy. You're going to have to suffer a little bit."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in the beautiful eyes of the black-clothed woman. She suddenly stretched out her right hand and slapped Ling Chen on the chest, causing the latter to retreat dozens of steps.
"What are you doing?"
Ling Chen was a little annoyed. How could this guy be like a child and do such a childish thing?
"Don't you think you are a genius?"
The black-clothed woman folded her hands in front of her chest and looked directly at Ling Chen. "In that case, I will fight you for a few moves. I will suppress my cultivation to the same level as yours, and I will fight with my bare hands, while you can use your weapons. How about that? It's fair, right?"
"no problem."
Ling Chen nodded and suppressed her to the same level as him. In the same level, he was invincible. He didn't believe that the woman in black could defeat him under such conditions.
"I've told you in advance, there are ten moves in total. As long as you can last ten moves from me, you win." said the woman in black.
"let's start."
Ling Chen had already drawn out the Tianfu Heavy Sword, and after ten moves, the woman in black really underestimated him.
Without any hesitation, Ling Chen suddenly thrust out a sword. This sword was the opening move of the Thirteen Swords of God. Ling Chen also wanted to test the black-clothed woman's moves.
However, the opponent did not even draw her sword. She seemed to have seen through Ling Chen's sword moves. She pointed her finger into the air and poked the blade of Ling Chen's heavy sword, almost knocking the Tianfu heavy sword out of her hand.
Ling Chen himself was also shocked by this hidden force and retreated repeatedly.
This finger has the effect of using only a little force to achieve a great result.
"This woman is really not simple."
Ling Chen was secretly shocked. The opponent was very different from the enemies he had encountered before. That was because the opponents in the past often put a lot of energy into improving their cultivation. Their cultivation was improved, but their moves were very crude. This was the result of not paying attention to skills.
However, the woman in black before him had mastered the technique to perfection, something Ling Chen had never seen before.
"It seems there is no need to test it any further, just use your ultimate move directly."
A fierce look suddenly flashed in Ling Chen's eyes. He suddenly changed his sword momentum and swung out with his sword . This sword was so fast that it reached the front of the woman in black in the blink of an eye.
The second move of the Dragon-Seeking Sword Technique is White Dragon Passing Through the Gap.
"Um?"
Seeing Ling Chen perform this move, the black-clothed woman was somewhat surprised. Apparently, the sword technique was so exquisite that even she couldn't help but marvel at it.
The sword light shuttled like a meteor, and the woman in black finally drew her sword. Her sword seemed to move with the wind. Although the speed was a beat slower than Ling Chen's White Dragon Passing Through the Gap , it was just right to dissolve Ling Chen's sword that was as fast as a startling wild goose.
"What?"
Ling Chen was shocked. The opponent's swordsmanship level was obviously not as good as the Xunlong Swordsmanship, but she had a great grasp of the timing and position of her sword. This was the difference. It was not a difference in swordsmanship or talent , but a difference in combat experience.
