LADY LIN'S FIRST-EVER JOURNEY TO IMMORTALITY

71-75

Chapter 71 Tie

It is already too late for Lin Luoran to dodge the fire ball coming like a bullet. Lin Luoran withdraws the whip and tries to split it in the same way she dissipates the pink smoke. However, the second the fire ball touches the whip, the whip, which is made of special metal, is on fire.

Lin Luoran snaps the whip on the ground but the fire is still burning. The fire spreads fast so she decisively drops it.

Lin Luoran ignores the burning whip on the ground and rushes to Wen Guanjing— He is drawing another pattern when she tries to put out the fire!

There is no longer a weapon in Lin Luoran's hand to shield the weird fire ball so she can't just let Wen Guanjing cast another spell. Since she has punched Mu Tiannan in her house that night, Lin Luoran is now quite confident with the moves she learns from Master Jia. She raises her hand and attacks right at Wen Guanjing!

Sensing the slashing hand coming to him, Wen Guanjing certainly has no time to cast the Fire Ball spell. He immediately takes out a white silk backhandedly. Looking at its cold edge, Lin Luoran barely draws back her hand and tries to dodge it. Even so, the white silk sweeps past a curl of hair on her temples and cuts it loose.

Wen Guanjing stands straight with the white silk in his hand. Lin Luoran fixes her eyes on him and finds that the white silk is actually a shiny elastic sword!

Though the sword seems light and less powerful than heavy weapons, Wen Guanjing is quite an expert since he can attack accurately with such an elastic sword.

Wen Guanjing may not be such a cultivator as Lin Luoran is, but he has practiced fighting from scratch. Whether it is knowledge or spell, Lin Luoran is no match for him.

After Lin Luoran decides to make closer encounter, she realizes that Wen Guanjing is an expert on sword and martial arts— Is she destined to lose tonight?

Though Wen Guanjing doesn't understand why Lin Luoran hasn't cast any spell yet and only uses her Reiki, he is an orthodox descendant of his family in the Zu Mountain. Since Lin Luoran is empty-handed, he chooses not to follow up the victory after cutting off a curl of her hair.

Standing still, Lin Luoran looks at Zou Yaowei who is lying on the ground with one breath left. For a while, she has a hard time deciding whether she should keep fighting recklessly with Wen Guanjing or not.

She is not afraid of getting injured or losing blood. Lin Luoran worries that she still can't avenge Baojia even she suffers a lot and manages to beat Wen Guanjing tonight...

"I see that you haven't done your best. How about we end the fight now?" Seeing that Lin Luoran's expressions are changing, Wen Guanjing asks.

Wen Guanjing is not a stupidly kind person. Lin Luoran is a better cultivator than himself and Zou Yaowei is already badly hurt. The operation of his department is imperative within half a month. Therefore, won't it be good if he can rope Lin Luoran in when Zou Yaowei is useless?

Lin Luoran knows nothing about Wen Guanjing's plan. She just feels that the man is truly strange. Just now, it seems that he wants to fight her to death, then he shows that he can't bring himself to do it. Now he is trying to make peace?

Even so, Wen Guanjing doesn't loosen his gesture of holding the sword. Hence, Lin Luoran can't tell whether he is pretending to make peace or he actually has other plans.

The confrontation between them becomes weird all at once.

When Lin Luoran hesitates about to fight or to retreat, a man shows up at the empty alley.
