The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 168 Fencing (2nd Update)

Hearing the challenge initiated by Lin Yu, Lin Yun was full of question marks.

Has she given up on being a mother, or was it just that she had no way to step down gracefully and thus proposed the contest?

Otherwise, this is definitely a freebie!

"Are you sure?"

Challenging a Cultivator with the body of a mortal was rather exaggerated.

Lin Yun also knew she used to be formidable, but he didn’t think he would lose.

"Of course, and you needn’t worry. You can go all out."

Lin Yu seemed to be getting interested, as if she was ready for a serious fight.

"Fine, but if you lose, you have to call me brother!"

Lin Yu: "..."

You unfilial son, you actually want me to call you brother?

"Sure, but don’t cry when you get a beating later."

Lin Yu’s hands were itching; she wanted to give Lin Yun, this bear child, a good lesson. It seemed he truly had no respect for his mother.

"I won’t hold back either."

And so, the two reached an agreement to fence.

Since it was a bout, they went outside and chopped two pieces of bamboo.

"I won’t use any other spells to bully you, let’s just compare swordplay!"

Lin Yun still had the demeanor of a gentleman, and although he said he wouldn’t let her win, he’d still have to give in a bit when sparring with Lin Yu.

"Whatever you want, just don’t refuse to admit defeat when you lose."

Lin Yu held the bamboo, twirling it into a sword flower, filled with confidence.

"Then let’s begin!"

Lin Yun posed as well.

He hadn’t systematically learned swordplay, but he knew what poses looked cool.

Even though what he held was just a piece of bamboo, it actually gave off more of a master’s aura.

Soon, Lin Yu made her move.

She thrust her sword toward Lin Yun, who sneered in his heart.

Is that it?

After all, it was the speed of a mortal. Lin Yun casually parried with his bamboo sword. Lin Yu, who had been moving very slowly, suddenly accelerated, her bamboo sword tangling with Lin Yun’s. At that moment, Lin Yun felt as if he wasn’t holding a piece of bamboo but a nimble snake climbing along his sword.

Indeed, in terms of sword techniques, he was no match for Lin Yu.

But he was faster. Gripping his sword tightly, he quickly retreated, not letting Lin Yu so easily take his weapon.

Lin Yun decided to take this seriously, after all, this was a mother-son match, and losing meant calling her "Mother."

Like a flash of lightning, Lin Yun appeared behind Lin Yu, stabbing his sword towards her back. He thought she wouldn’t be able to react in time, but his thrust was firmly blocked, and Lin Yu used the force of his thrust to once again wind around it.

"This is the Binding Sword Technique, used to fight stronger opponents when you’re weaker."

While fighting, Lin Yu provided commentary.

Now Lin Yun was annoyed. You’re turning this into a teaching moment, huh! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Watch me break your technique with strength!

Lin Yun unleashed the Shocking Thunder Sword Technique, a sword skill centered on speed. Lin Yun could stop at any moment, and besides, it was just bamboo, so it wouldn’t really hurt anyone.

However, regardless of his speed being like a thunderbolt, Lin Yu blocked each and every attack. Not only that, but Lin Yu also counterattacked. Had Lin Yun not dodged swiftly, he would have been hit.

This is...

Baili Shouce couldn’t even block one blow and was slashed seven times in an instant by Lin Yun, but Lin Yu was able to keep up with such speed, even having the excess strength to counterattack.

Of course, since the first strike was blocked, the speed of the following attacks was affected and wasn’t as fast as before, but it’s outrageous that she could block the first one.

"You can use other spells, I’m getting serious now, just wait till you start calling me ’Mom’!"

Lin Yu saw that Lin Yun hadn’t really learned swordplay well and not letting him use other spells was just bullying.

But the more she said this, the less likely Lin Yun was going to use any other spell.

A man’s pride can be very strong, and besides, this was just a sparring session. The spells Lin Yun knew were too powerful and he wasn’t sure he could control them.

He continued to make moves silently, this time using the Binding Sword Technique.

In that brief exchange of blows just now, Lin Yun had already learned this move.

Lin Yu was somewhat delighted; Lin Yun was indeed a promising talent.

So, she went on to demonstrate various different sword techniques, which being just mortal strength, naturally couldn’t hurt Lin Yun, and Lin Yun gradually learned these basic sword techniques during the battle.

Unlike Shocking Thunder, the sword techniques demonstrated by Lin Yu were ordinary moves like thrusting, lifting, parrying, slashing, etc., which, when combined, made up the sword techniques she displayed.

Lin Yun’s talent amazed Lin Yu, but after such intense sparring for so long, she was getting tired too.

After all, she was a mortal and couldn’t maintain combat for an extended period.

After knocking Lin Yun back with a sword strike, she didn’t strike again, but said slowly, "A sword is but mortal iron. It comes alive through the wielder’s spirit, moves with the heart, and thrives on blood. A Sword Cultivator’s sword depends not on the strength of their cultivation level, but on the strength of their spirit. With this sword of mine, do you have the courage to block it?"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Lin Yun also felt that her aura had changed, as if a thread of Sword Intent was condensing around her.

Too bad Lin Yun was a layman, and since there was no one passing by at the moment, there were no exclamations or sharp intakes of breath.

This was Sword Intent!

Lin Yun knew this sword strike wouldn’t be simple, but he wasn’t about to concede defeat.

No joke, losing would add a ’mother’ while winning would gain him a ’sister’—everyone knew which to choose!

Lin Yun didn’t back down. He gripped his sword tighter; sparring with Lin Yu, he had learned a lot.

If it had been a real fight, he would have retreated by now, then thrown a fireball at Lin Yu; he even knew Thunderbolt now, but this time, he wanted to take on this swordstrike.

If he couldn’t even dare to face a sword strike with no threat to his life, how would he have the courage to fight others in the future? Was he only going to bully the weak?

Well, that actually did not sound too bad.

Seeing Lin Yun didn’t retreat, Lin Yu struck as well.

She charged at Lin Yun, the only time she initiated the attack, moving rapidly. When she was close to Lin Yun, she thrust out her sword.

Lin Yun also felt the Sword Intent of this strike.

It was all about pushing forward relentlessly.

No matter what lies ahead, just thrust—that’s the right move.

Thrust quickly and fiercely. In that instant, everything slowed down in Lin Yun’s vision. His gaze was sharp as he met Lin Yu’s strike with his own.

Lin Yu was taken aback.

Could even Sword Intent be stolen just like that?

But in the next moment, she panicked. Lin Yun wasn’t dodging; if her sword went through, even though it was a bamboo sword, it could pierce right through Lin Yun.

At that moment, she could only hastily flick her sword away, changing its direction, but that movement exposed her own neck under Lin Yun’s sword.

Such is the duel of Sword Cultivators; even in a mere exchange, if one gets serious, an unlucky move could make a hole.

Lin Yun’s sword came later, and like Lin Yu, he too threw away the bamboo and it stuck in a tree, unmoving.

Neither had intended to kill the other, but in the next second, Lin Yu couldn’t stop her momentum and plunged right into Lin Yun’s arms, rebounding slightly before Lin Yun hastily caught her waist and pulled her back...
