I rely on myself

Chapter 259 Gradually Intensifying

On a hilltop away from the Lushan Mountain where Sect Leader Luo Hao lived, a figure was standing there, watching the confrontation between Lin Yuan and Sect Leader Luo Hao.

This person is undoubtedly Lu Yinghua. When his master, Sect Leader Luo Hao, burst out with his aura, Lu Yinghua was unable to resist and in order to avoid being affected, he immediately left and came to the nearest hill to watch the confrontation between the two.

Although the distance is quite far, ordinary people can probably only see the top of Mount Lushan where Sect Leader Luo Hao lives, not to mention the figures of Sect Leader Luo Hao and Lin Yuan.

But for someone as powerful as Lu Yinghua, this distance was of course no problem, and he could clearly see the entire process of the fight between the two.

To be honest, Lu Yinghua's mood was very complicated at this moment. Although he had known that Lin Yuan was very talented in martial arts and worked very hard, otherwise he would have never defeated him since childhood. But now Lin Yuan really showed martial arts that were far inferior to his, Lu Yinghua still couldn't help feeling conflicted about it.

To be honest, although Lu Yinghua never said it out loud, nor did he show it on the surface, he was actually very confident in his martial arts. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to be accepted as a disciple by his master, the martial arts king Luo Hao.

Although Lu Yinghua is very afraid of his master, he also admits that if it were not for his master's training, he would not have such martial arts skills at such a young age. Even in the whole world, Lu Yinghua is confident that he is able to rank among the top five in terms of martial arts alone.

But Lin Yuan was able to practice such amazing swordsmanship without any guidance and had to travel all over the world to prepare for the great secret ceremony.

This made Lu Yinghua doubt his own talent. Looking at the fierce confrontation between the two, Lu Yinghua sighed with a wry smile: "How talented do you have to be, you bastard!"

Having said that, after all, the two have been friends for so many years, and Lu Yinghua would not have any too many negative emotions because of this. At most, he would just think about whether he should work harder.

Suddenly, the fight between the two changed. Lu Yinghua recognized at a glance that his master, Sect Leader Luo Hao, was using his unique skill, the 'Twelve Palms of the Flying Phoenix'. As for why Lu Yinghua could recognize it so quickly, it was of course because he was Sect Leader Luo Hao's only disciple, so it was natural that this set of palm techniques was taught to him.

Although he is far inferior to the master, he still knows how to do it, so I saw it at the first time.

Seeing that Sect Leader Luo Hao directly hit Lin Yuan in the chest with a palm, just when Lu Yinghua thought it was over, Lin Yuan suddenly distanced himself and acted as if nothing had happened after being hit by the palm.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yinghua suddenly came to his senses and said, "Oh, that's right, Lin Yuan still has the power of steel, so it seems that this fight is over for now."

Back to Lin Yuan and Sect Leader Luo Hao, Lin Yuan, who had clearly taken a palm strike from a special skill, just covered his chest and rubbed it, and was not seriously hurt at all. If someone who didn't understand might think that Sect Leader Luo Hao didn't use any strength in that palm strike just now, but the fact was that Sect Leader Luo Hao didn't hold back at all, it was just that Lin Yuan took it by some unknown means.

Judging from the expression on Sect Leader Luo Hao's face, he should have seen through it.

Luo Hao smiled and said to Lin Yuan, "Is this the power of steel? Although I can see from Ying'er's performance that it can enhance the user's defense, I didn't expect that even my Flying Phoenix Twelve Divine Palms could be directly blocked."

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised that Luo Hao saw through the truth so quickly. He thought it would take several more times before he was discovered, but he was seen through the first time he used the power of steel. When Lin Yuan and Lu Yinghua explained it before, they mentioned that the power of steel is essentially a kind of power that can seamlessly replace the power of magic or qi, and can better exert the power of magic or martial arts.

But in addition to this, the power of steel also has a hidden effect. Just as the body of the God Slayer is naturally resistant to all kinds of magic because of the huge cursed energy in his body, the power of steel also has a similar effect.

When the holder is attacked, the power of steel will form a defense as if by instinct, minimizing the damage by consuming the power of steel itself.

When Lin Yuan's chest was hit directly by Luo Hao's Twelve Divine Palms of the Flying Phoenix, the power of steel instinctively protected its master. Although it could not offset all of the impact, it weakened it by a large margin, including the impact on his internal organs. That's why Lin Yuan looks fine now.

"Well, this fight was originally caused by this power. Let me see how far this power can go."

As he said this, Sect Leader Luo Hao took off instantly. Although not as sudden as the Double-Winged Sword, it was also fast enough to match its speed. He rushed in front of Lin Yuan in an instant. His palms each drew a strange trajectory, moving left and right so that it was impossible to see clearly, and each of them swung towards Lin Yuan with great force.

Of course, Lin Yuan would not sit and wait for death. Relying on the effect of the power of steel to protect his body, Lin Yuan simply ignored the palms of Sect Leader Luo Hao, and the steel sword blade slashed straight at Sect Leader Luo Hao, using the tactic of attacking Wei to save Zhao and forcing Sect Leader Luo Hao to retreat.

"Humph!"

However, this trick was not enough to make Sect Leader Luo Hao retreat. He directly changed the trajectory of his palm and inserted it into Lin Yuan's sword path, hitting the side of the sword to forcibly change its trajectory. At the same time, another palm suddenly burst out, directly hitting Lin Yuan with powerful and fierce force.

"boom!"

A dull sound like a heavy hammer hitting someone was heard, and at the same time Lin Yuan's face suddenly changed. Even with the protection of the power of steel, he could not completely offset such a fierce palm technique. His posture was destroyed and he took a few steps back to dissipate the force.

Before Lin Yuan could regain his footing, Sect Leader Luo Hao saw that Lin Yuan had been defeated and no longer let him go. Of course he would take advantage of the opportunity and his hands drew different trajectories in the air, ready to turn into attacks that were more threatening than any other weapons at any time.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yuan knew that he could not retreat, otherwise he would be constantly suppressed and eventually defeated.

He activated the power of steel, fully activating it throughout his body, turning it into a full-body armor. Then, without waiting for his body to readjust itself, he launched a counterattack with the Winged Sword.

For a moment, the figures of the two seemed to have disappeared, and only when they stopped for a moment could people see their figures. The sword light kept drawing various trajectories in the air like a meteor and flashed by.

From time to time, the palms of Sect Leader Luo Hao would exert amazing force, causing the atmosphere to vibrate, generating small air explosions and sweeping storms.
