Chapter 57: Hurricane Sword Style

Fortunately, the rules of the pushing boxes game didn’t allow a challenger to stay in the same place for a prolonged period of time, and the right to pull a box back required several rounds before they could touch it again.
Otherwise, Lan Qi could have held her ground or pushed and pulled the boxes back and forth, then even God wouldn’t have been able to save her.
“Next round, turn right!”
Lin An gave the last command.
Due to the structure of the previous box, Lan Qi couldn’t see the space available on the right side of the box, and the success rate system gave her an 89% chance of following the command.
Lin An held his breath. If Lan Qi failed to follow the instruction, then it would be even more difficult to guide her out of the game. He didn’t know how much longer she would have to spend in the maze-like trap.
“Junior Sister Lan Qi, I’m sorry for lying to you earlier. Actually, it was Junior Brother Zhou who asked me to save you. If you still don’t listen to me, then I’ll turn around and leave. At worst, I’ll just tell Junior Brother Zhou that I don’t have the ability to save you. But the truth is, I don’t want to waste any more time on you.”
When she heard this, Lan Qi calmed down. She no longer felt that Lin An was lying to her.
Junior Brother Zhou had always been gentle, and he would never take the initiative to cause trouble. Although Lin An was arrogant, he wasn’t a person of great evil. He probably wouldn’t go so far as to kill Junior Brother Zhou.
Now that Lin An had confessed that he hadn’t harmed him, she decided to go along with his instructions.
After thinking about it, Lan Qi wiggled around and pushed the right-hand box.
Abruptly, the tip of the pyramid shone with a faint light, and the sinking structure rose up. Lan Qi had successfully passed the level.
There was a box hanging down from the top of the pyramid, and it appeared to be Lan Qi’s reward. However, she immediately noticed that there was actually a monster with wings on its back and horns on its head that was guarding the box.
It could only mean that the reward in the box was extraordinary.
The monster with wings slowly descended along with the box.
“Junior Sister Lan Qi,” Lin An sensed the power fluctuations of the monster and realized that its strength was no less than that of the underworld heavenly king demon, “You might not be able to secure this reward on your own. Do you want me to help you?”
“Don’t even think about taking my opportunity!”
Lan Qi roared in anger and pulled out the sword on her waist. She then furiously charged toward the two-winged monster.
At the same time, the monster grasped the pitchfork in its hand and raised it to attack Lan Qi.
Clang!
The loud sound of metal clashing rang out in the pyramid. Lan Qi was defeated in one move, and she was sent flying across the room by the monster’s brute force.
However, the outcome had been within Lin An’s expectations. The two-winged monster’s strength was probably as powerful as a nascent soul stage cultivator, and Junior Sister Lan Qi had only just entered the golden core stage.
She didn’t have any high-level magic treasures on her, nor did she have any high-level cultivation techniques, so her failure had been inevitable.
As Lan Qi slowly stirred on the ground, Lin An stealthily moved towards her.
After it had knocked Lan Qi into the air, a bloodthirsty look had appeared in the two-winged monster’s eyes. It flapped its wings and accelerated as it reached out its claws to grab Lan Qi’s head.
Suddenly, a burst of golden light flashed, and the light of the Eastern Emperor Bell covered Lan Qi’s body and protected her.
The monster’s claws were repelled by the Eastern Emperor Bell’s golden light, and they didn’t cause any harm to Lan Qi.
“Profound flame transformation!”
Lin An used Lan Qi’s body as cover to rush forward without the two-winged monster noticing him. At that moment, he flashed out from behind Lan Qi and activated the profound flame transformation technique. His fists, which were engulfed with flames, struck out at the two-winged monster.
Pfft!
Lin An took the opportunity to catch the two-winged monster off guard. His fists landed squarely on its body, and due to his success in the previous pyramid, his physical abilities were extremely terrifying.
Since he had advanced to the golden core stage, Lin An would have defeated the monster even if he had purely relied on his skills.
Now that he had activated the profound flame transformation technique, his strength had increased by another level. He punched the two-winged monster’s chest until it caved in and then sent it flying across the room with great force.
The two-winged monster spat out a pool of stinky blood once it slumped onto the ground.
Lin An took advantage of the monster’s dazed state to finish off the attack. He pulled out the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword from his waist and charged at the two-winged monster.
Clang!
The monster had regained consciousness, and it quickly raised the steel fork in its hand and blocked Lin An’s sword.
“Black and white ashen flame mystic flame transformation!”
Immediately, Lin An used the black and white ashen flame and the mystic flame transformation to instantly unleash a terrifying power.
The two-winged monster was violently struck by the flames, and it fell to the ground, creating a huge crater. At the same time, Lin An used the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword to cut off the steel fork from the monster’s hand and then pushed the tip of the sword into its heart.
The two-winged monster didn’t make a sound. Instantly, Lin An noticed that red energy had flowed into the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword’s blade. The transparent white crystal in the middle of the sword was then suffused with a layer of red light.
When the transparent white crystal had completely turned red, Lin An felt that the energy waves emitted by the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword had suddenly become stronger.
Once the red energy in the transparent crystal had been completely used up, Lin An realized that the waves around the sword had already reached the strength of the eleventh level of the Qi refinement realm.
It had indeed become stronger, and Lin An couldn’t hide his excitement over the growth-type treasure sword.
He used the black and white ashen flames to devour the monster’s corpse, and just as he had guessed, they had also become stronger.
The black flames divided the extra power evenly between the white flames to maintain their spirit life-force balance.
Once she regained her strength, Lan Qi looked at Lin An’s back in shock. She hadn’t expected him to be so strong. He had killed the two-winged monster that had defeated her in just two rounds.
Moreover, Lin An had been so cautious. Not only had he killed the monster, but he had also burned its corpse.
Lan Qi now felt that Lin An had deserved to win the inner sect competition. Whether he had used his strength or special treasures, he was worthy of the title of Eldest Senior Brother.
She walked forward and looked at Lin An in awe as she said in a low voice, “Senior Brother thank you for your help. You should get the most valuable treasures in that box, so you can choose first.”
Lin An turned around and glanced at Lan Qi,
He felt that her personality had suddenly changed, and she was now treating him politely.
Lin An quickly nodded and went to open the box with Lan Qi.
Once they opened it, the two of them were dumbfounded. There was only one cultivation technique in the big box. How were they going to divide it?
Lin An picked up the book and looked at it. The words, ‘Hurricane Sword Technique’ were written on the book’s cover.
The hurricane sword technique was a set of sword moves that could trigger the surrounding vital energy of heaven and earth to add power to an attack. It was powerful, but it was also extremely random.
Because the changes in the vital energy of heaven and earth were very unpredictable, the power unleashed at different points of attack would frequently vary.
There was a possibility that the power of one sword attack would increase tenfold, but there was also a possibility that the power of one sword attack would not increase at all.
Such a cultivation technique usually placed great importance on luck.
“Since it’s a cultivation technique, why don’t we learn it together? However, this book has to be in my possession. Do you think that’s possible?”
Lin An suggested to Lan Qi.
To his surprise, Lan Qi was extremely willing.
Initially, she had thought that they would each get a small reward from the box. However, there was only one cultivation technique in the box. If they could still learn it together, it would be equivalent to both of them each getting the reward.
As for the book, Lan Qi didn’t mind giving it to Lin An since she had already observed his impressive combat skills.
