Beauty and the Bodyguard

As far as the thousand blades sect's disciples were concerned, even Foundation establishment stage disciples with average aptitude could control more than a dozen weapons at the same time. If their aptitude was better, it wasn't impossible for them to control dozens of weapons at the same time. However, it was very difficult for them to improve after that. When they reached the level of the nascent Soul Stage, they could generally control a hundred weapons at the same time at most.

Lin Yi had only briefly studied the thousand blades sect's practitioner's Arts, but he knew where the difficulty lay-the biggest one was multitasking. Controlling each weapon required a part of one's focus, and it was hard for normal people to do two things at once-to control a hundred weapons at the same time required a hundred things at the same time. It was an inhuman level of difficulty.

However, the Ling Tianyou in front of them was something they could not make heads or tails of. He did not bring out a bunch of weapons like the other thousand blades sect disciples. Instead, he only brought out a seemingly harmless ribbon. What was the meaning of this?

Was he hiding his strength? Or could it be that this unremarkable silk ribbon was his trump card?

Lin Yi didn't move, and just stood there quietly, waiting for Ling Tianyou's next move. With his level, he couldn't treat the other as a real threat, but he wouldn't underestimate him either. He was observing Ling Tianyou, and he would deal with any changes with no changes.

While Lin Yi was observing Ling Tianyou, Ling Tianyou was also observing his reaction. It was just as he said, he was extremely curious about Lin Yi.

A powerful primordial Spirit Master, the Grand uncle-master of the North Island's Green cloud sect ... This Lin Yi was a mystery to all the disciples of the Supreme ancient Immortal Realms. Although Ling Tianyou didn't do anything in the past ten months, he felt that it was necessary to find out Lin Yi's background, no matter if it was in the long run or in the short run. Otherwise, there would be one more uncontrollable factor in the test.

All of a sudden, the ribbon in the air straightened and an ear-piercing sound pierced through the air as it shot towards Lin Yi like an arrow.

Everyone's expression changed when they saw this. It could actually have such power. It seemed that this silk ribbon was indeed not an ordinary item.

Lin Yi didn't flinch at the ribbon coming at him, and only caught it when it was less than half a foot away from him.

Xin Yijie nodded silently. This scene looked normal, but it wasn't easy to be as calm as Lin Yi. At least, no one here could do it-not even an early golden core like him.

However, the ribbon did not stop after it was caught. Instead, it writhed like a snake. However, it seemed like it was struggling in vain. After all, what kind of killing power could a soft ribbon have?

However, Lin Yi's expression changed, and he let go without hesitation. Almost at the same time, a pile of needles shot out from the ribbon!

This scene was too sudden. Everyone present gasped in shock. Almost all of them had been fooled by the unremarkable design of the ribbon. They had never thought that there would be so many Flying Needles hidden in the ribbon!

If it were them, they would have been pierced by The Flying Needles and turned into pig heads. This move alone would have killed them.

It was a pity that Ling Tianyou was facing Lin Yi. No matter how well the needles were hidden, almost blending into the ribbon, and how hard it would be for even divine sense to detect them under normal circumstances, Lin Yi not only had a divine sense that was far sharper than ordinary people, but he also had the sense of danger that he had cultivated since he was a beast. If he didn't notice it in advance, how could he let go so suddenly?

"What a powerful movement technique!" Ling Tianyou's eyes lit up. What shocked him wasn't that Lin Yi was able to detect it in advance, but that Lin Yi was able to Dodge The Flying Needles at such a close distance without any injuries.

With Ling Tianyou's status, his sparring partners in the thousand blades sect were all at least at the Golden core stage. Even if they were at the Golden core stage, the most they could do was to use their protective Qi to block his flying needle attack. No one had ever been able to completely avoid it like Lin Yi did-such a movement technique was unheard of.

"Same to you. To be able to master the legendary thousand flying blades technique, you are not simple either." Lin Yi said with a faint smile.

"A thousand flying blades?!" When everyone heard this, they were surprised again. They carefully counted the number of Flying Needles flying in the air at this moment, and then they exclaimed in shock,""Nine hundred and ninety-nine Flying Needles, plus that ribbon, it's like a thousand blades flying at the same time!"

"How is this possible? Isn't the flight of a thousand blades an illusory legend? Ling Tianyou actually managed to do it?" Even though they had seen it with their own eyes, everyone still felt that it was unbelievable.

One should know that the hundred flying blades was already very impressive. Even the experts of the thousand blade sect had to be at the nascent Soul Stage to be able to do it. One hundred tasks at the same time was not something that could be practiced just because one wanted to. If one did not have enough qualifications, practicing for thousands of years would be in vain. As for the thousand flying blades, it required one thousand tasks at the same time. The difficulty was thousands of times more difficult than one hundred tasks at the same time. This was not something that humans could do at all!

However, the truth was right in front of their eyes. Ling Tianyou, who was only at the peak of the late Foundation establishment stage, had actually managed to achieve the legendary thousand flying blades. Was he still human?

"No wonder everyone in the thousand blades sect unanimously supported him as the sect leader. It turns out that such a shocking genius has appeared. No wonder!" Xin Yijie finally understood.

The entire ancient Alliance had many speculations about Ling Tianyou becoming the sect leader of the thousand blades sect, including the higher-ups of the various ancient sects and clans. No matter how much of a genius Ling Tianyou was, it was too much of a joke to let Ling Tianyou, who was only at the peak of the late Foundation establishment stage, become the sect leader.

But now that he had personally seen the thousand blades flying in the air, Xin Yijie finally understood that the thousand blades sect had not lost their minds. Instead, they had found themselves a powerful backer. Once Ling Tianyou grew up, no one in the entire ancient Alliance would be his match. When that time came, the thousand blades sect would definitely sweep away its declining state and have a bright future!

It wasn't just Xin Yijie, even Bing Wuqing, who was beside him, was moved. A Ling Tianyou with a thousand blades flying in the air couldn't be measured with common sense. Even if he was only at the peak of the late Foundation establishment stage, he was still on equal footing with the Golden core stage experts like them. As time went on, perhaps even they would have to look up to him.

As for Xue Jianfeng, his heart was in a state of shock and he couldn't help but blush! (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on M.Qidian.com.)
