Chapter 5194: You’re wrong
Translator: 549690339
“One falling leaf tells the world of autumn. The moves of leaf spirit sect have always been so unpredictable.” Xin Yijie sighed. Falling leaves in autumn could be considered one of the few signature moves of the spirit leaf sect. It wasn’t because this move was the strongest, but simply because it was the most well-known move.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although spirit leaf sect wasn’t the strongest ancient sect, it was definitely one of the most profound and mysterious ancient sects. It had been firmly occupying the position of one of the ten small sects for a long time, so its strength and Foundation were no small matter. It was just that spirit leaf sect was low-key, so it didn’t give people the feeling that it was as strong and eye-catching as snow sword sect.
“He’s actually able to hide himself by relying on his intent realm alone without a single flaw. This Duanmu Yu is really amazing!” Ziyu’s eyes were shining.
Everyone else felt the same way-Lin Yi had explained the arts and techniques of the spirit leaf sect to them before, but they were all confused. After all, the spirit leaf sect was too different from the other sects-every move was focused on the intent, and unless they experienced it themselves, they wouldn’t be able to understand it no matter how much Lin Yi explained.
But now that they saw it with their own eyes, everyone had a better understanding of the spirit leaf sect’s so-called artistic conception. At the same time, they couldn’t help but think that they were lucky that they didn’t meet any spirit leaf sect disciples in the first round. Otherwise, even if they had the counter-attack style that Lin Yi taught them, they wouldn’t be able to use it at all.
In fact, this wasn’t strange. The entire leaf spirit sect was unfathomable. Because of the extremely unique requirements for qualifications, the number of disciples in the sect had always been small. This time, there were only four disciples participating in the secular world experience, and only one of them was in the early stage of the foundation building realm. The chances of everyone meeting each other by drawing lots weren’t great.
“That’s right. Her leaf Spirit Movement technique is already powerful enough, and it’s even more seamless when used with this falling leaves in autumn. I can’t even see her position with the naked eye, let alone counterattack.” Lingshan frowned.
“It’s a good thing her opponent is boss Lin Yi. If it were us, we’d be sitting here waiting for death. ” Chentian said.
“Hehe, you guys are thinking too much. Duanmu Yu is a peak Foundation Stage expert. What does he have to do with us? At most, we’ll only be able to meet an early-stage foundation building expert. Even if we’re all disciples of spirit leaf sect, it’s impossible for them to cultivate falling leaves in autumn to such a high level, right?” Yu Bing couldn’t help but laugh.
“That’s true. ” Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
While everyone was talking, Duanmu Yu, who had used the “falling leaves in autumn” technique to conceal herself, was finally ready to make her move. After all, this was not some invisibility technique. Once her opponent had completely adapted to this intent realm, they would naturally be able to easily discover her traces. She had to finish this battle before then. Otherwise, all her efforts would have been in vain.
However, before she could make her move, Lin Yi suddenly sent a knife-hand forward without any warning. He said faintly, “Let’s stop here. ”
The crowd outside the arena was baffled. A moment later, they came to a sudden realization. Each and every one of them was amazed. It turned out that Duanmu Yu had never left from the beginning to the end. She had indeed integrated herself with the surrounding environment by using the falling leaves in autumn. However, she had not made any unnecessary movements. She had only quietly stayed in place, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
It had to be said that this was a very clever choice. It was better to stay still than to move. This way, not only could he minimize the flaws, but it could also cooperate with the artistic conception of falling leaves in autumn to make the opponent even more uncomfortable. Because after discovering that her trace had disappeared, the first reaction of a normal person would definitely not think that she was still in the same place, and would subconsciously exclude this option.
Unfortunately, her opponent was Lin Yi. Even if falling leaves in autumn could hide from everyone, it couldn’t hide from Lin Yi’s spirit sense, which was far above their level.
Duanmu Yu was startled on the spot. He could not help but reveal a bitter smile on his face. He helplessly said,”As expected of someone who could defeat Ling Tianyou. I’ve lost.”
This result was beyond everyone’s expectations. They thought that even if Lin Yi could win, he would at least have to go through a tough battle like the one he had with Ling Tianyou the day before. They didn’t expect it to end so quickly, and the battle was over before the two even had a chance to fight.
Lin Yi nodded and turned to Xue Jianfeng,”What else do you have to say now?”
“What do you mean? Is there something wrong with your brain? You merely won against Duanmu Yu. You didn’t even lock on to her Mingmen. Yet, you still have the nerve to be proud in front of me?” Xue Jianfeng sneered.
“Is that so?” Lin Yi asked with a half-smile, one of his hands still in a knife-like position, pointing at Duanmu Yu’s waist.
“You’re wrong. Although I’m curious as to how he knew, he was indeed pointing at my Mingmen.” Duanmu Yu suddenly opened her mouth. If Lin Yi didn’t point at her Mingmen, she wouldn’t admit defeat on the spot. At least she would try to fight back.
Lin Yi was a little surprised-the Mingmen wasn’t a core secret, but it was still a top-secret for each sect. It’d be easy for outsiders to control them if they let everyone know.
Of course, every move was the most important defense. Even if one knew where it was, it would be difficult to attack it. It was just like knowing which parts of a person’s body were fatal. One couldn’t attack wherever one wanted to, but one had to have the strength to do so.
“What did you just say?” Xue Jianfeng’s expression immediately stiffened. He never thought that Duanmu Yu would actually admit it in public. He hurriedly said,”Duanmu Yu, don’t tell me that you’ve received some benefits from him and that’s why you’re putting on an act in front of us?”
Everyone looked at each other. Although such suspicion was somewhat biased, Duanmu Yu’s admission was indeed a bit too straightforward. No wonder others used conspiracy theories to speculate.
“The life door is not a secret that no one knows about. As long as you are a senior member of the ancient Alliance, I think it should not be difficult for you to know. Furthermore, when has our leaf spirit sect ever been so despicable?” Duanmu Yu said indifferently.
“I’ve heard of this before. The Achilles ‘heel of the waist seems to be the Mingmen of the falling leaves in autumn.” Xin Yijie nodded. Just as Duanmu Yu had said, this wasn’t an absolute secret. This was especially so as the falling leaves in autumn was the most well-known signature move of the leaf spirit sect and had long been thoroughly researched. It wasn’t considered a secret among the higher-ups of the ancient Alliance, and even Xin Yijie had heard someone mention it before. (To be continued.) ”
