The plot of 010 has begun!
After this incident, Lin Heng's heart calmed down a lot. He more or less knew where his problems lay, after all, he had a system in him. Although the system wouldn't give specific evaluations of his strength, it would still evaluate his martial arts skills. For example, the Arhat Fist was said to be an extremely good fist technique in the system.
This evaluation is absolutely high. To put it simply, if he hadn't cultivated the Infinite Sword Technique and Lightness Skill, he wouldn't have received this evaluation. So, he knew that this was his own problem.
Once he thought of the problem, he had to go solve it. Lin Heng's solution was to work hard and cultivate himself, not only cultivating his fist technique but also his sword technique. Because he felt that he still needed to use a sword, knowing only fists wouldn't be enough.
During the day, he would see patients for half a day, and in the afternoon and evening, he would practice fist and sword techniques. This was Lin Heng's schedule, and as he immersed himself in his training, time slowly passed by.
Today, Lin Heng arrived at the street corner early in the morning. Just as he had put down his canvas umbrella, he saw several big horses rushing out of the escort agency, led by a rather handsome young master.
"Lin Ping...". Lin Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then he thought of the plot. At the beginning of Xiaoyao, Lin Ping returned from hunting, and now looking at Lin Ping's attire, weren't they preparing to go hunting?
Taking a deep breath, Lin Heng immediately picked up his cloth bag and quickly returned to the inn.
Lin Pingzhi left, so Laodeno and Yue Lingshan should have arrived too. After cultivating for such a long time, he should go take a look at the difference between them. In the inn, Lin Heng picked up his long sword, took a deep breath, and pulled out a silver-white iron mask from his bag, putting it on his face, covering most of his skin, leaving only his eyes and nose visible. Then, he quickly climbed over the wall and left the inn, chasing in the direction where Lin Pingzhi and others had left.
Having been here for so long, Lin Heng had already explored the road and had also been to Old Cai's tavern outside the city twice, so he naturally recognized it.
Soon, Lin Heng arrived outside the tavern. He narrowed his eyes and looked inside, seeing an old man and a young girl busy at work. He knew that this was Laodeno and Yue Lingshan.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Heng strode into the tavern. The two busy people saw someone coming and immediately came over to greet him, but as soon as they looked up, they saw Lin Heng's silver-white iron mask and were taken aback.
"Don't want to expose yourself, come with me!" Lin Heng said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, before turning around and quickly exiting the tavern. Lauderno and Yue Lingshan were both taken aback, then Lauderno gave Yue Lingshan a signal with his eyes, excused himself from everyone, and walked out. He circled around to the back of the tavern, and when he came out again, he had changed into different clothes and was holding a long sword.
Lin Heng pulled Lauderno to a secluded spot, suddenly drawing out the long sword in his hand and pointing it at Lauderno. "You're a disciple of Huashan Sect, aren't you? This period of time, Fuzhou is really not peaceful, first the Qingcheng Sect disciples, then the Huashan Sect disciples, truly interesting."
"Who are you?" Lauderno looked at Lin Heng with a guarded expression, silently drawing the long sword in his hand and confronting Lin Heng.
"Who I am is none of your business, if you don't want your own affairs to be exposed, then fight me, otherwise I won't guarantee that my mouth won't go around talking nonsense!" Lin Heng chuckled and took a slight step forward, his whole body lunging at Lauderno.
Lauder is not a free gift, his swordsmanship is absolutely not comparable to that of the Qingcheng Sect's disciples. You can see this in the original book, where he used one long sword to defeat three people from the Qingcheng Sect, and even used their own Songfeng Sword Technique. Now, using his own familiar Huashan Sword Technique, it will be even more deadly.
Crack... In an instant, the two long swords clashed together. Lauderno's swordsmanship was very experienced and his moves were seamlessly connected. Lin Heng's swordplay also looked good, but if you looked closely, you would find that except for the first two moves, for most of the remaining time, Lin Heng was mainly defending, occasionally counterattacking once or twice, only to be suppressed again.
In terms of swordsmanship, Lin Heng's mastery of the Wu Liang Sword Technique is not bad, whether it's in terms of its intricacy or variability, it surpasses Laodeno's Huashan Sword Technique. However, when it comes to actual combat, it's a different story altogether. At least for now, Lin Heng doesn't have the ability to fully utilize the intricacies of this sword technique, otherwise he wouldn't be suppressed by Laodeno.
The two men fought more and more hastily, the more hasty they were, the easier it was to make mistakes, especially for newcomers. Just then, he made a sudden thrust, but was countered by Lauderno with a single blow, his long sword flying out of his hand. Fortunately, Lin Heng had not only practiced swordsmanship, and seeing the diagonal slash coming at him, he immediately dodged to one side, then punched Lauderno's right hand, and another punch struck his abdomen.
He threw two punches very quickly, if it were Lin Zhen Nan's peers, that would be absolutely unavoidable. However, Laborde turned his body and not only safely dodged the attack but also counterattacked towards Lin Heng's abdomen. Lin Heng was unable to dodge and had to take a big step back to jump away from his attack.
Looking at Lauderno standing there with his sword, Lin Heng took a deep breath. Formidable, indeed formidable! When fighting against Lin Zhen Nan, Lin Heng couldn't exert his full strength and later completely suppressed him. When fighting against the Qingcheng Sect disciples, he also had an evenly matched feeling. But now, when fighting against Lauderno, he felt himself being suppressed instead.
He knew it wasn't because he hadn't cultivated enough, but rather his state of mind and experience were insufficient.
With a clang, Lin Heng picked up the long sword again and held it in his hand. He knew he had been impatient earlier, so this time, he steadily approached Lordeno with one move, waited for him to counterattack, and then immediately used his own sword moves to find the flaw and counterattack. As a result, Lin Heng and Lordeno started fighting with sound and color, but he only had a few moves that came and went, and after a long time, it was natural for Lordeno to see through the flaws. This time again, Lin Heng's long sword was knocked off once more.
"Damn it!" Lin Heng cursed in a low voice. At this moment, the disadvantage of only cultivating one sword technique was revealed - there were too few moves that could be used. However, this disadvantage would only appear if he wasn't mature enough. If he completely mastered the Infinite Sword Technique and made it pure and unmatched, then he would be able to contend with Laborde. If he could reach the realm of freely switching between moves, then he could become a master. It was just that his cultivation time was too short after all, which would amplify the disadvantage.
He let out a breath, and with a burst of strength from his legs, Lin Heng shot up into the air, leaving behind the long sword on the ground. He quickly distanced himself from the place, speeding towards the city. Behind him, Laborde furrowed his brow, watching Lin Heng's back, lost in thought.
Back at the inn, Lin Heng let out a sigh of relief. He had lost to Lauderno, and he thought it was deserved, but in reality, he still felt somewhat unresigned.
"Lauduono is hiding very deeply, judging from his appearance later on, his cultivation is absolutely one of the top four in Huashan, even above Linghu Chong. Losing to him is still acceptable..."
It's said that way, but the tone is very bitter. Shaking his head, Lin Heng took the canvas sail out to get medical treatment. These things, it's better not to think about them, to avoid getting annoyed. The necessary personality of a house man, an ostrich mentality!
Half a day's time passed quickly, but today Lin Heng didn't just treat for half a day, he waited for a whole day because he was waiting for Lin Ping to come back. When Lin Heng saw their figures, he knew that the plot really began.
"Qingcheng Sect, come and sharpen my sword!"
At night, Lin Heng put on his mask again and grasped a new long sword, jumping out of the inn and heading in the direction of Fuwei Escort Agency.
