Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

Chapter 93: Power of Intelligence

Hearing Lin Ran’s words, Huo Qiyun’s face turned pale.

If not for the fact that he couldn’t exert any strength now, he would definitely get up from the ground and slash Lin Ran’s face with his sword!

“Just you wait! I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!”

In the end, Huo Qiyun looked at the burly man with the huge sword and shouted fearlessly, “Come on! I’m not afraid of you!”

After shouting, Huo Qiyun closed his eyes and prepared to die.

However, nothing happened after a long time.

When Huo Qiyun opened his eyes again, he realized that the burly man with the huge sword was already gone. The passersby who were watching the commotion had also left, leaving only Lin Ran standing there with his arms crossed and a sly smile on his face.

“What happened?”

Huo Qiyun looked confused. “Did you kill him?”

Lin Ran shrugged. “No, he ran away by himself.”

“He ran away? He could have killed me with one strike. Why…”

Halfway through his sentence, Huo Qiyun suddenly realized something and looked at Lin Ran, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “The rules of the death duel.”

The only requirement of the death duel was that both parties had to fight fairly with witnesses present. However, there were actually three more rules.

Firstly, if one was challenged to a death duel, one must accept it, and the two parties would fight to the death.

Secondly, there was no time or place requirement for the duel, but both sides had to fight fairly with witnesses.

Thirdly, during the duel, outsiders were not allowed to interfere. Otherwise, the rule-breaker would be despised by every fellow Daoist.

Huo Qiyun challenged someone to a death duel, so according to the rules, Lin Ran couldn’t help him, but if Huo Qiyun died, Lin Ran could do whatever he wanted.

Therefore, if the burly man wanted to live, he could not kill Huo Qiyun. Not only could he not kill him, but he also wanted Huo Qiyun to live a long life.

Because once Huo Qiyun died, that unfathomable figure would immediately come to kill him.

This was what the burly man thought before he scurried away. As for whether Huo Qiyun would come to kill him after he recovered his cultivation, he couldn’t bother to think about it.

After all, people like him had many enemies. In Lotus Town alone, Huo Qiyun had at least a dozen enemies.

At the moment.

After figuring it out, Huo Qiyun immediately felt deeply frustrated

Seeing how down Huo Qiyun was, Lin Ran chuckled and patted him on the head. “It’s alright. The good thing is that your brain isn’t injured. As for this injury… Forget it. Let’s heal your Qi Deviation first.”

Huo Qiyun’s eyes lit up. “Can my Qi Deviation be healed?”

“Of course!”

Lin Ran pointed in the direction of Mount Sword. “Back then, I was cultivating all alone and figured everything out on my own. Of course, I’m a little smarter than you, so I wasn’t as seriously injured as you are. But from my experience, it’s not a big problem.”

Although Huo Qiyun felt Lin Ran’s words were intended as an insult, he still looked at him and said seriously, “Thank you.”

Lin Ran waved his hand and helped him up. Huo Qiyun said, “I’ll try my best to ridicule you less in the future.”

“Get lost!”

…

The two of them returned to the inn. Lin Ran started treating Huo Qiyun’s external injuries.

Huo Qiyun was already thin. After taking off his coat, the wound on his thin body looked even more terrifying, as if his entire shoulder was about to be cut off.

As Lin Ran cleaned the wound, he clicked his tongue and said, “You really should eat more. With your small body, you won’t even be enough for me to eat.”

Huo Qiyun gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes. “Ordinary food will cause the martial artist’s internal energy to fluctuate abnormally. I’ve never understood why your cultivation is still so high when you eat so much junk food every day.”

“Maybe I’m talented?”

Lin Ran chuckled. As he spoke, he applied medicine to Huo Qiyun’s wound and wrapped it carefully with gauze.

“Done!”

Lin Ran dusted off the medicinal powder in his hand and looked at Huo Qiyun. “Seriously, you really have to change your habit of challenging people to a death duel. If I had woken up later today, I would have to bury you.”

“When I challenged someone to a death duel in the past, I was always more than 70% confident in winning…”

Huo Qiyun replied awkwardly in a low voice. Suddenly, he saw Lin Ran look at him with a serious gaze. “What is it?”

Lin Ran asked, “How do you challenge someone to a death duel?”

“Are you kidding me?”

Huo Qiyun blinked. Realizing that Lin Ran was serious, his expression changed. “Don’t tell me you don’t know what death duel is?”

“Well…”

Lin Ran was speechless because he really didn’t know what the death duel was. He had only heard the empress mention it once, and that was when he learned about the rules of the death duel.

“Tell me what death duel is.”

Huo Qiyun glanced at Lin Ran and explained, “Death duel is a sword intent both parties left in each other’s bodies.”

“As long as the sword intent doesn’t disappear, no matter where you go, you will be found by the other party. That’s why the death duel has a rule of no specific time and place required.”

Lin Ran nodded in understanding. He suddenly thought that if he challenged the demon to a death duel, would he be able to find the demon easily?

However, on second thought, Lin Ran gave up on this bad idea.

In order to challenge someone to a death duel, both parties had to be present. Since they were already meeting in person, why was there a need for a death duel?

After putting this matter to the back of his mind, Lin Ran took out the sword technique he had written down. “The external injuries have been treated. Now, let’s see if you are suffering from Qi Deviation. Where did you start to feel that something was wrong?”

“From the third sentence ‘With a long whistle, you lean on your lonely sword and look at your heart’.”

Huo Qiyun replied without thinking. It was obvious that he had already memorized this sword technique. “I think this means that you should hold your sword on your back and let out a long whistle to activate your internal energy, then use your divine sense to encompass everything in sight… It’s a move to be vigilant before the battle begins.”

Lin Ran pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Yes… From what you said, I roughly know what the problem is.”
