Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

72. Killing Saber

Lin Fei's true strength remained a mystery to Ling Yao and the others, but he once disclosed that his realm was only at the Acquired Third Level.

Considering Lin Fei's exceptional saber technique, and highly possible that his inner power was three-in-one, challenging higher-level opponents was no difficult feat for Lin Fei.

Ling Yao had already raised her estimation of Lin Fei's strength, believing that he might be on par with Acquired Fifth Level.

It should not pose a problem restraining an Acquired Sixth Level martial artist, such as Fatty and Thin.

"Lin Fei, it won't be easy to deal with Fat and Thin Fools," Ling Yao warned.

"When the time comes, you can take on one of them while we deal with the other," she continued. "As for killing... except for Sixth Sister, you don't need to worry about killing anyone else."

Ling Yao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Even Sixth Sister can be killed according to the rules. But as a princess, let me do it. That way, the consequences and troubles that follow won't affect you."

Lin Fei nodded in understanding. He knew what Ling Yao meant.

The killing was allowed, even the princess. However, if they were to kill the princess, there would be repercussions and troubles that they would have to bear. As invited martial artists, it would be wiser to let Ling Yao handle it.

Lin Fei didn't say anything and retreated back into his usual silence. He rarely spoke throughout their journey, sometimes even making Li Yin and the others forget about his presence.

"Junior brother Lin, I see you have two sabers," Li Yin said with a smile. "The one on your back is probably a Star Saber, which is quite impressive. But the one on your waist doesn't look like a precious treasure saber. What's its use?"

Lin Fei glanced at the Hidden Saber on his waist and calmly replied, "It's also a killing saber. However, it cannot be drawn lightly. When the saber is drawn, blood must be shed."

Li Yin didn't take his words seriously, "You're quite the joker, Junior Brother Lin."

They were about to face Acquired Sixth and even Seventh Level experts. Even if Lin Fei drew his saber, what good would it do?

Lin Fei paid no attention to Li Yin's words and remained silent as usual.

However, Ling Yao took a deep glance at the saber at Lin Fei's waist for some reason. She seemed to somewhat believe in his words.

This saber could not be unsheathed lightly. When it was unsheathed, blood would be shed!

"Alright, everyone rests in the mansion for three days. After three days, we will officially begin the competition for the princess's position!" Ling Yao made up her mind.

So, Lin Fei and the others went to their rooms to rest.

...

In the courtyard of the princess's mansion in the South King's residence, there was only one person in everyone's mind when mentioning the princess, that was Ling Shuang!

Even among the capital of the Great Chang, Princess Ling Shuang was a household name.

She was very good at socializing and ambitious, with a deep background. She had been holding the position of princess for more than ten years by defeating one competitor after another.

At this moment, the Fat and Thin Fools arrived in front of Princess Ling Shuang.

"Your Highness, we have met Nineteenth. However, She seems unwilling to withdraw from the competition for the princess's position," Fat and Thin Fools reported respectfully.

Although the princess did not have much strength herself, she was very skilled at controlling her subordinates. Even the Fat and Thin Fools dared not be disobedient.

The princess was tall, with cold eyes. She glanced at the Fat and Thin Fools and chuckled, "Little Nineteen is of humble origin and has suffered a lot in the mansion since childhood.

Later, she was sent to the Nine Profound Sect, where she showed her talent in martial arts.

She will not give up. She must want to fight and become the princess to avenge her past and take control of her own fate!

However, she still doesn't understand that the competition for the princess's position is not something a lowly maid's daughter like her can participate in.

This time, except for Little Nineteen, I hope that no one by her side survives. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness, we understand!" The Fat and Thin Fools and the other martial artists behind the princess felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that the princess had taken murderous intent.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Lin Fei spent most of his time in his room.

As for gathering intelligence, that was left to Ling Yao.

Lin Fei was sure that Ling Yao would make good use of these three days to gather information about the experts under Princess's command.

Only by knowing oneself and the enemy could one have a chance of winning!

Today was the day of the battle for the position of Princess's successor.

Unlike Li Yin and the others, Lin Fei had a faint understanding that this battle would be extremely dangerous.

The attitude of the Fat and Thin Fools on the day of their encounter had already made it very clear.

Today, someone might die!

Lin Fei closed his eyes and gently touched the Hidden Saber at his waist.

Having nurtured the saber for more than two months, he could clearly feel how terrifying it was.

Once he unsheathed it, it would be a shocking strike.

But he didn't know if he could defeat Acquired Seventh Level experts with it.

"System."

Lin Fei brought up the system panel.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Acquired Third Level

Three Vitality Technique: Third Level (87% progress)

Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (11% progress)

Triple Wave Technique: Mastery (74% progress)

Leaping Technique: Mastery (27% progress)

Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (43% progress)

Saber-drawing Technique: Mastery (60% progress)

Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% progress)

During these three days, Lin Fei's martial arts skills improved slightly.

Especially in the Three Vitality Technique, the training progress had reached 87%.

Although the progress of the Three Vitality Technique had decreased, Lin Fei was still able to make 3% progress every day.

In about four or five days, Lin Fei would be able to reach the acquired fourth level.

"Today is the day to fight for the position of Princess's successor. I'm still a little short of reaching the acquired fourth level.

But the difference between the third and fourth is just the amount of inner power. My inner power is enough!"

Lin Fei's gaze was calm.

Since he got the three-in-one inner power, he had already become different from ordinary martial artists, even in a class of its own.

Unless his opponent was a martial artist who also had the same three-in-one inner power, otherwise, his strength could not be judged by his level alone.

After all, even Acquired Sixth Level might not be able to surpass his current inner power. His three-in-one inner power had increased explosively by more than ten times before.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knocking at the door.

Lin Fei stood up and opened the door.

"Senior Sister Ling."

It was Ling Yao who knocked on the door, followed by Li Yin and others.

"Lin Fei, are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

Ling Yao swept her gaze over everyone, her expression serious as she said in a deep voice, "In today's battle, don't hold back.

I have heard that my sixth sister is cruel and ruthless in her fights for the position of princess. There have been casualties in every battle.

So, in this battle, we must spare no effort to first kill the Fat and Thin Fools, and then go all out to deal with the remaining two Acquired Seventh Level martial artists. Only then can we have a chance of winning!"

Everyone nodded, indicating their understanding.

However, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

To concentrate their efforts on killing the Fat and Thin Fools first would not be easy.

This battle was destined to be a difficult struggle.

"Let's go!"

Ling Yao didn't say anything else.

She led Lin Fei and the others straight toward the martial arts arena in the palace.
