The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 242
242. Just Enough
Zhao Zhou was very interested in Lin Nuo’s dual sword technique, as Lin Nuo’s fluency with the dual swords was even higher than that of the immortals of Zifeng Valley.
He was quite curious about it, of course, the actual combat level was unknown, it would be best to spar personally to know the level.
Lin Nuo didn’t know where he got the courage to spar with dual swords, maybe after practicing a few segments, he felt confident and agreed.
The Phoenix Dual Swords in his hands occasionally emitted a spiritual light, giving him the feeling of being very strong, holding the dual swords made him feel invincible.
But after calming down, he regretted it a bit.
Wouldn’t this reveal the fact that he was a novice?
But since he agreed, he wouldn’t go back on his word, whoever backs out is a coward, Lin Nuo had never been afraid of immortals.
People from various sects knew that sparring with immortals was not just an ordinary swordsmanship duel, it involved immortal techniques as well.
In other words, it was similar to actual combat, but it would stop at a certain point, or whoever fell to the ground would lose.
Su Kexin suddenly became anxious, a bit worried, why did they suddenly start sparring?
“Senior brother, don’t hurt Senior Zhao.”
But on the other hand, she hoped to witness Lin Nuo’s direct combat, thinking back, she hadn’t really seen it much.
Even if she saw him fighting the enemy head-on, it was just a fistfight, of course, the fistfight was also powerful, easily defeating Du Xian.
However, she still hoped to see her admired senior brother wielding swords against the enemy, just now, senior brother wielding the dual swords was really handsome.
Su Kexin obediently stepped aside, quietly being an audience, witnessing the upcoming duel.
Lin Nuo and Zhao Zhou distanced themselves to avoid damaging the surrounding grass and trees during the fierce fight, Zhao Zhou used an immortal talisman to set up a barrier.
It was like a duel arena, as long as they fought inside, unless it was a world-destroying attack, the barrier could withstand it.

To avoid distracting them, the barrier was invisible, as if it didn’t exist.
Zhao Zhou was an immortal who used swords, his swordsmanship was excellent, after all, being able to teach Su Kexin, his strength was naturally extraordinary.
Lin Nuo took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, he was a third-tier novice, but he had mysterious confidence, not afraid at all.
The Phoenix Dual Swords, like wings on his back, even gave a feeling of wanting to fly.
Actually, he was just floating.
Zifeng Valley had a rule, sparring could only use fifty percent of one’s strength, too strong would cause damage to the surrounding environment.
Sparring, stopping at a certain point, mutual improvement was the goal, no need to fight to the death.
Zhao Zhou had already infused spiritual power into the sword in his hand, there was a difference between humans and immortals, seeing Lin Nuo’s aura was not strong, he thought Lin Nuo also chose to hold back, if he used fifty percent strength, it would be unbecoming of an immortal.
So he chose to spar with Lin Nuo using thirty percent strength.
Thirty percent strength was enough to use sword techniques.
Lin Nuo took the initiative, directly advancing, swiftly swinging the dual swords at Zhao Zhou, smooth and unhesitating.
A man like the wind, the sword speed was as fast as lightning, the two spiritual swords with shining light drew two beautiful outlines.
“Clang! Clang!”
Zhao Zhou hurriedly swung his sword to block, and the sound of weapons clashing erupted instantly. Lin Nuo skillfully coordinated his dual swords, one sword falling and immediately followed by another. After a brief exchange, Zhao Zhou was at a disadvantage.
“Bang!”
Zhao Zhou quickly unleashed a sword energy to block Lin Nuo’s dual swords, slightly retreating a few steps.
Zhao Zhou quickly leaped back, creating some distance from Lin Nuo. In a direct swordsmanship confrontation, he was still at a disadvantage. Lin Nuo skillfully used his dual swords in perfect coordination, making Zhao Zhou feel like he was facing two people at once, which was quite overwhelming.
If it were just a swordsmanship duel, he would most likely lose. Immortal sword techniques often rely on immortal magic for assistance, and lacking spiritual power is a significant disadvantage.
Multiple Sword Intent.
Zhao Zhou mobilized his spiritual power, and his spiritual sword split into many, surrounding Lin Nuo.
“Using this move already.”
Lin Nuo smiled. As expected, immortals still liked to use multiple sword intent techniques.
A familiar scene, reminiscent of the time when he had not yet reached his peak, and was tormented by this multiple sword intent.
Zhao Zhou controlled multiple flying swords with one hand, while holding a spiritual sword in the other, engaging in a duel with Lin Nuo.
Sword fell.
In an instant, multiple flying swords swiftly descended towards Lin Nuo. Lin Nuo blocked with his left hand sword while dodging with his body, and his right hand sword attacked Zhao Zhou.
“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The blades clashed again, and the sound of the collision was even more intense, almost deafening.
Su Kexin watched with increasing anxiety. There were so many blades on the field that she couldn’t keep track of them all, completely unable to understand how Lin Nuo was managing to cope.
After more than ten rounds of combat, Lin Nuo still used one hand to fend off the multiple flying swords, while the other hand fought Zhao Zhou directly.
A flaw.
Lin Nuo was a person who grew braver with each battle. As long as he didn’t fall at the beginning, in a prolonged fight, he could figure out the opponent’s routine, find a flaw, and strike directly.
Clang!
The sword in his right hand clashed with Zhao Zhou’s sword, and at this moment, the sword in Lin Nuo’s left hand quickly followed up, stopping at Zhao Zhou’s body surface.
However, Zhao Zhou’s multiple swords didn’t stop in time and accidentally cut Lin Nuo’s skin.
“Senior Brother!”
Su Kexin immediately became anxious, watching with great concern.
The wound had a burning sensation, but it was nothing to Lin Nuo.
“It’s over.”
Lin Nuo leaped back, sheathing his sword. Blood flowed from the wound on his back, but he seemed unconcerned.
“Sorry, I couldn’t stop in time. You won. Your back is injured; let me heal you.”
Zhao Zhou apologized sincerely. He had become too engrossed in the fight. When Lin Nuo stopped his sword, he should have stopped as well, but he couldn’t hold back and injured Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo’s sword had precisely stopped at the surface of the flesh. A little more force, and the immortal would have bled.
Lin Nuo calmly said:
“It’s normal to get a little hurt during a sparring match. Even I might not have been able to stop Tengfei’s sword at that moment. But you held back, otherwise, I wouldn’t have won so smoothly.”
“You also held back, but in terms of swordsmanship, I admit defeat.”
“Immortals don’t rely solely on swordsmanship.”
“Regardless, I lost, and I couldn’t control my strength as well as you did. The moment you stopped your sword was very precise, a true example of stopping at the right point.”
Zhao Zhou couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t use his full strength, but neither did Lin Nuo. In terms of strength, there was no difference, but in terms of control, Lin Nuo was slightly better.
Lin Nuo was able to stop his sword right at the surface of Zhao Zhou’s skin, while Zhao Zhou’s flying sword couldn’t stop and injured Lin Nuo. That was the difference.
Moreover, Lin Nuo stopped his sword first, and Zhao Zhou still injured Lin Nuo afterward, making him seem even worse.
Lin Nuo was also magnanimous and didn’t blame him, which made Zhao Zhou feel even more ashamed.
In fact, Lin Nuo’s thoughts were:
You idiot, can’t you play properly? Can’t you stop at the right point? If this wasn’t your territory, I’d definitely kill you.
