“That’s true, all right that’s it, you’ve already lost anyway!”
The Fuyutsuki swordsman was relieved, got up and patted his buttocks, and immediately got out of the ring.
By now, the top eight had been decided.
Although many of them had been eliminated, the crowd knew that the real excitement of the competition was coming.
“Next up is the battle of the top eight in the final!”
“Random matching will still be used, so let’s start picking now!”
Without any nonsense, Elder Leng Chen tossed his palm, and instantly eight white lights appeared.
Lin Ran instantly raised his hand and took one of them down.
Immediately a white light rushed out from his body.
Just a few moments later, a white light also shot up not far ahead.
But when Lin Ran saw his opponent, he couldn’t help but be stunned, it was actually the same Ghost Shadow who had just defeated the Buji Swordsman!
“Brother deceased, you’ve seen all of this person’s moves, is there any way to restrain them!”
Seeing that Lin Ran’s opponent was actually Ghost Shadow, Bu Er Swordsman slowly came over and asked.
“Naturally there is, don’t worry there’s no way I’ll lose this match!”
Lin Ran laughed confidently.
“That’s good!”
The Bujinkan swordsman smiled and nodded his head.
For Lin Ran to win against this Ghost Shadow was a breath of fresh air for him.
After all, the previous loss had indeed been a little too stifling.
I just didn’t know what exactly the deceased brother’s solution was.
Bu Er Swordsman pondered in his mind.
Lin Ran, however, smiled blandly, facing this kind of a*sa*sination technique, he really didn’t care too much.
As long as the other party wasn’t like him and possessed all sorts of strange techniques, he couldn’t lose this competition.
A few moments later, the crowd was already on the ring.
Looking and Lin Ran in front of him, Ghost Shadow laughed helplessly.
“How come I always bump into you junior brothers, I’m a bit embarra*sed to win”!
“No need to be embarra*sed, you won’t win this time!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“O? This is the first time I’ve seen such an arrogant senior brother like you!”
Ghost Shadow laughed.
“It’s alright, you’ll get used to it later!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Haha!”
Ghost Shadow laughed.
“Fine! In that case, then I’m not polite, senior brother!”
“No need to be polite, feel free to come!”
Lin Ran laughed, with the same confidence on his face.
“Come on then!”
The ghostly shadow laughed out loud, and without any more nonsense, his body flickered violently, and in an instant a large area of black smoke had filled out, covering almost the entire place where the battle was taking place.
At the same time Lin Ran realised that he had lost the Ghost Shadow’s position, and could not even detect it with his divine sense.
“What a bizarre a*sa*sination technique! I can’t believe that even divine sense can’t even talk about the difference!”
Lin Ran was a little surprised in his heart.
But not quickly enough, he calmed down.
“Whoosh!”
It took less than two seconds for the ghostly shadow to disappear before Lin Ran felt a dangerous aura approaching behind him.
Almost as a reflex, Lin Ran fiercely turned sideways, and the next moment a palm wind was already poking out from behind him.
“Good reaction!”
The ghostly shadow couldn’t help but exclaim, and then with a flash of his body he had actually disappeared back into place.
Lin Ran frowned slightly, just in this moment of time when the ghost shadow had just appeared and disappeared.
He clearly felt the fluctuation of aura around him.
“This guy’s a*sa*sination technique is really clever, using black mist to hide his movements and aura, bypa*sing the detection of divine sense, thus achieving a state of invisibility!”
Lin Ran said to himself, having actually seen the subtleties of this a*sa*sination technique.
However, if he could see it, Lin Ran was simply incapable of breaking this method of hiding his form.
After all, what he cultivated was not the way of a*sa*sination either.
Unless there was a huge difference in strength between the two, he would be able to detect it.
But the two were about the same strength, and even Ghost Shadow’s strength was at the peak of the Enlightenment realm, a little stronger than his.
“If I were a divine sense practitioner, I’m afraid I would be able to find his location, but unfortunately I’m not either!”
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly.
However, he didn’t care, he did have a way to deal with the ghostly shadow, he just wasn’t in a hurry.
Coming to the Immortal World Lin Ran had faced many enemies, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of a*sa*sination technique.
Naturally, he also wanted to have a good fight with it to see what the other side could do.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be much of an upgrade or help for him to defeat the other party straight away once his own killer technique had been used.
“Whoosh!”
As the thought was going through his mind, the ghostly shadow struck once again, and Lin Ran still dodged it narrowly, but followed it with a backhanded slap to try and start a counterattack.
But his reaction was quick enough, but his strike was still slow.
The moment the palm was slapped out, the ghostly shadow had already disappeared from the spot.
“This guy is really fast!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel a little helpless, this feeling of having nowhere to use his strength made him very unhappy.
Suddenly, Lin Ran was struck by this feeling he seemed to have come across somewhere before!
“Sword Dao! It’s the Sword Dao!”
Lin Ran suddenly woke up with a start, yes it was the Sword Dao.
After the second stance of his own Lancang Sword Technique had reached the realm of Return to the Essence, Lin Ran had always had this feeling.
His own sword dao had never been able to touch that bottleneck, but the Return to the Essence realm had also been raised almost to the extreme.
For some time recently, Lin Ran had this feeling of having nowhere to go with his power on his own sword dao only.
At this moment, his sword dao was like a path that had come to an end, but was blocked by a wall, but this wall had no door at all, making it impossible for him to pa*s through.
“Whoosh!”
Lin Ran was thinking in his mind when the ghostly shadow struck for the third time!
This time, Lin Ran reacted even faster, not even dodging when he sensed the danger, raising his hand and slapping it towards his back with a twist.
“Bang!”
The two collided, and almost instantly the wind of the palm slapped directly onto the ghostly shadow that had just appeared.
“What?”
The ghost shadow was also startled, seeing that it was already too late to dodge, he could only stiffen his head and clash a palm with Lin Ran.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound came out, and the entire Ghost Shadow was directly shaken back several steps by the powerful force, his eyes filled with shock.
“Whoosh.”
There was a flash of light on the Ghost Shadow’s body, followed by it disappearing back into place.
Lin Ran, on the other hand, did not pursue him any further, and he had a joyful look in his eyes.
The encounter with the Ghost Shadow had given him an epiphany, whether it was in the face of the Ghost Shadow or in the face of the Sword Dao.
The feeling of having nowhere to use his power before had been the same.
“My second form has reached a bottleneck, but I can’t help it if calm doesn’t appear, but I can’t wait! I need to fight! Non-stop fighting! A powerful battle that will force the bottleneck out!”
Lin Ran muttered to himself in his mind, at this moment he already understood where he should go next!
Turning to look at the black fog around him, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Ran’s mouth.
There was no need for this fight to go on, the Ghost Shadow, although also very difficult, was not a good opponent!
What Lin Ran needed was an opponent who could fight him in a bloodbath, and that person was Bai Chang!
Turning his head, Lin Ran looked at Bai Chang, who had finished fighting, with a surge of battle intent in his eyes!
“What’s wrong with this kid?”
Bai Chang felt the gaze looking over as well, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“Engaging in battle and still being distracted, senior brother of the deceased, you are taking me too seriously!”
Suddenly, the voice of a ghostly shadow rang out next to him, while a cold mane was already pa*sed towards Lin Ran’s neck.
“You’re no match for me!”
Lin Ran simply said indifferently, followed by an instant blast of power within his divine sense.
In the next moment, the ghostly shadow only felt his head spin and his entire body actually froze in place.
Lin Ran turned around with his palm already strangling Ghost Shadow’s neck, a smile tacked onto his face.
“You’ve lost!”
“You! You actually have a divine sense attack method!”
Shock filled Ghost Shadow’s eyes, followed by a helpless sigh.
“I concede defeat!”
