Xie Jingsheng was also shocked and hurriedly said, “Junior Brother Lin, don’t be rash!”

He was the only one here who knew that the information on Yan family’s intention to monopolize the spirit cave came from Lin Shen. Whether it was for the purpose of protecting the information source or out of admiration for this Junior Brother, he couldn’t watch Lin Shen get injured.

However, when Lin Shen heard this, he only nodded at Xie Jingsheng before continuing to walk toward Yan Jingren.

Xie Jingsheng panicked when he saw this. He wanted to stop Lin Shen, but he couldn’t find a suitable excuse.

At the same time, the other upper house disciples who had regained their senses all shook their heads.

Even they weren’t confident of defeating Yan Jingren. What could Lin Shen do?

Shen Zening raised his eyebrows, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He had heard of Lin Shen’s deeds and his astonishing talent.

However, aptitude was one thing, but strength was another.

It was said that Lin Shen had only advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage for half a year. He couldn’t possibly be Yan Jingren’s match.

However, everyone was watching, and Shen Zening couldn’t force Lin Shen to come back. That would be too demoralizing.

While he was hesitating, Lin Shen had already stepped into the arena.

Yan Jingren was also a little surprised, but he quickly came back to his senses and stared at Lin Shen coldly.

“I didn’t expect you to still dare to go on stage at a time like this!”

“Three months ago, I said that I wanted to fight you. Now, I’m just fulfilling my words.”

Lin Shen smiled indifferently.

“And isn’t that what you want?”

Yan Jingren was silent and narrowed his eyes.

Just as Lin Shen had said, with Lin Shen’s previous conflict with the Yan family, if he could find an opportunity to kill Lin Shen, he wouldn’t miss it. It would be his pleasure to do so.

However, what puzzled him was that Lin Shen had clearly watched his battle with Jiang Hao and knew his strength very well, but he still took the initiative to accept the challenge. Did Lin Shen think that he could defeat him?

At the thought of this, Yan Jingren couldn’t help but feel perplexed.

However, he immediately threw away the distracting thoughts and focused on the current situation.

There was no point in thinking too much. He would just attack!

Lin Shen’s talent was obvious to all. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as a peerless genius. If he could kill Lin Shen, he could at least cause some damage to the Nine Suns Sect to avenge the extermination of his family.

The only problem was how to kill Lin Shen before Shen Zening interfered.

Lin Shen didn’t know what Yan Jingren was thinking, but it wasn’t difficult to guess. However, he didn’t care. With a flip of his wrist, a Nine Yang Talisman Sword appeared in his palm.

The Pure Yang talisman Word was too eye-catching. He didn’t want to use it in front of so many people.

The Nine Yang Talisman Sword would do the trick.

As Lin Shen took out his weapon, the square quickly fell silent.

A solemn and heavy atmosphere gradually spread in the air.

Everyone held their breaths and stared intently at the arena, waiting for this unexpected but anticipated challenge!

Clang!

The sharp and short sword cry suddenly tore through the silence!

At the same moment, two blurry figures collide heavily like streams of light.

In the next moment, there was a clang. As sparks flashed, the two swords intertwined like lightning. They danced and flew around with all kinds of movements.

The biting cold sword energy instantly spread out.

Yan Jingren’s expression was cold as he stabbed out with his sword. An indestructible force was spat out from the tip of the sword and attacked Lin Shen like a storm. The air instantly felt like boiling water.

Facing such a fierce attack, Lin Shen remained calm. The talisman sword in his hand spun into a ball of rapidly jumping light, making an airtight defense, shattering the incoming sword energy one by one.

The two of them didn’t use any martial techniques or spells. They only fought with their cultivation and sword techniques.

Even so, the sword energy that filled the sky still made the disciples tremble in fear.

“What powerful sword energy!”

“Forget about Yan Jingren. 1 didn’t expect Lin Shen’s swordsmanship to be so powerful!”

“It seems like Lin Shen and Yan Jingren are evenly matched!”

“Unbelievable. What stage has Lin Shen’s cultivation reached?”

Everybody cried out in surprise.

Many disciples were shocked.

They had thought that Lin Shen would most likely be at a disadvantage against Yan Jingren if he wasn’t completely defeated.

But now, it seemed like the two of them were evenly matched.

While the disciples of the lower house were surprised, Xie Jingsheng and the other upper house disciples were dumbfounded.

After coming back to their senses, they took a deep breath.

The sixth level of the Bright Aperture Stage!

Lin Shen had actually reached the sixth level of the Bright Aperture Stage. He was even one stage higher than Yan Jingren!

Even when they saw Jiang Hao lose to Yan Jingren, they weren’t so shocked.

“How is this possible… How did this guy cultivate? That’s unbelievable!” An upper house disciple muttered in shock.

Those were words that all the upper house disciples present wanted to say. Many of them nodded involuntarily.

Xie Jingsheng was a little stunned and stood rooted to the ground.

He never expected that Lin Shen’s cultivation level was actually as high as his!

More than half a year ago, Lin Shen was only at the Long Breath Stage!

Xie Jingsheng felt as if he had fallen into a dream. His mind was adrift.

Jiang Hao was flabbergasted and speechless.

Yan Jingren had an excuse. After all, with the help of the spirit cave, it was reasonable for his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

But what was going on with Lin Shen?

His cultivation speed was simply unbelievable!

What should the other people do?

“Junior Brother Lin has hidden his strength well!” A look of surprise appeared on Shen Zening’s face.

Under everyone’s shocked and surprised gazes, the two people fighting on the stage suddenly separated and retreated at the same time.

Yan Jingren frowned, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

He was also shocked by the cultivation and strength Lin Shen had revealed.

He had advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage earlier than Lin Shen, and with the help of the spirit cave, he had reached the fifth level.

However, not only had Lin Shen cultivated for a shorter period of time than him, but he also didn’t have a spirit cave to speed up his cultivation. However, Lin Shen’s cultivation was a level higher than his!

How talented could he be?!

After recovering from his shock, Yan Jingren suddenly had a murderous intention.

The more outstanding Lin Shen’s performance was, the greater the losses the Nine Suns Sect would suffer after killing him!
