Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 72: Chapter 71: A Heart-Shaking Sword Strike

When Ling Fei appeared on the dueling platform, the entire arena fell silent.

But the silence was quickly followed by an uproar.

”Ling Fei dares to fight Pang Fei? Did he not see Pang Fei’s astonishing combat power?”

Many people were utterly stunned to see Ling Fei suddenly appear on the platform.

After all, Pang Fei had just crushed Zhou Feng with a mountain-like momentum. How many could possibly contend with him!

Yet Ling Fei still stepped onto the dueling platform.

”Could Ling Fei have also reached the Innate Realm?” someone muttered in astonishment.

If not, they couldn’t imagine where Ling Fei got the courage to challenge a genius like Pang Fei.

”Your little sweetheart is up.” Mu Xue smiled beautifully as she glanced at Huang Xiaoman. ”Do you have faith in him?”

”He must be confident to have gone up there, right?” Huang Xiaoman’s hands clenched. Though nervous, she still had some confidence in Ling Fei.

”I can’t wait to see him in action!” The other girls beside her were full of anticipation.

Everyone’s eyes were locked on the fighting stage before them.

Some were doubtful, others hopeful.

On the dueling platform, Ling Fei stood opposite Pang Fei.

Pang Fei’s gaze was as sharp as a sword, a Sword Momentum continuously gathering around him.

The Sword Momentum was formless, yet it pressed forward like a mountain.

And within it was the sharp edge of a sword.

’A momentum like a mountain, yet also like a sword. Sword and mountain combined... its power is indeed beyond what an ordinary Swordsmanship master can compare to.’ Ling Fei’s eyes narrowed as he carefully sensed the fluctuations before him. At the same time, a Sword Momentum of his own began to emanate from his body—a Sword Momentum like a river, surging and majestic.

The Ling Fei of today stood tall and imposing, exuding an indescribable aura.

It was the aura of a True Dragon looking down upon the world!

Ling Fei had comprehended Sword Momentum, the momentum of the Celestial River, and the True Dragon Momentum!

He had even comprehended the True Sword Dao Intent!

Therefore, Pang Fei’s oppressive aura didn’t shake Ling Fei in the slightest.

Then, from Ling Fei’s body, a sharp Sword Momentum surged forward like a river, sweeping toward his opponent.

The two men’s Sword Momentums clashed, sending invisible ripples across the dueling platform.

The battle was about to begin!

’This Ling Fei... he’s also comprehended the Sword Dao Mystical of the Celestial River Sword Technique!’ Sensing the Sword Momentum ahead, a glint flashed in Pang Fei’s eyes.

”In that case, let’s see whose Sword Momentum is stronger!”

Sword-like Mountain!

A deep voice sounded. With a flash of light, the Long Sword in Pang Fei’s hand chopped down, carrying the Sword Momentum of a mountain.

Sword Qi pulsed from the Long Sword.

Every wisp of Sword Qi was incredibly sharp yet heavy as a mountain, causing the very air before it to collapse under the pressure.

On the platform, a suffocating feeling rose from within. Ling Fei felt as if his own Sword Momentum was about to be crushed, and the blood in his veins roiled.

”Your sword is like a mountain, but mine is like a river!” Ling Fei’s eyes focused. He took a large step forward and moved his Long Sword.

Raging Celestial River!

WHOOSH!

Instantly, as he swung his sword, Sword Qi howled out like a Sword River, surging toward the mountain-like sword before it.

The Long Swords had not yet met, but the two streams of Sword Qi were already clashing on the dueling platform.

BANG!

The Sword Qi collided with a loud bang, and then the crowd saw the two sharp swords clash.

CLANG!

A crisp sound rang out.

Then, Pang Fei’s Long Sword shuddered. The web of his hand trembled, and he couldn’t stop himself from stumbling backward.

Meanwhile, Ling Fei’s body also trembled slightly, and he was pushed back as well.

But upon a closer count, Pang Fei had retreated seven steps, while Ling Fei had only retreated five.

’The momentum of his sword strike is even stronger than Zhou Feng’s!’ After steadying himself, Pang Fei looked up at Ling Fei, his face grave.

The young man before him was a tough opponent!

”Sword River Like a Rainbow!” At this point, Ling Fei had a preliminary understanding of his own strength. He moved his Long Sword and continued his assault.

SWISH!

The Long Sword thrust out, its Sword Qi like a rainbow, stabbing toward Pang Fei.

It was the simplest of strikes, yet its speed was extreme.

SWISH, SWISH!

Heavy Mountains and the Moon!

A Sword-like Mountain!

Pang Fei’s eyes narrowed. He immediately struck, deflecting Ling Fei’s Long Sword with an upward slash.

Then, he pivoted his blade and took advantage of the momentum to slash diagonally downward, aiming for Ling Fei’s shoulder, chest, and abdomen—three spots at once!

His execution was as smooth as flowing water, appearing exceptionally fluid.

Clearly, Pang Fei also possessed considerable skill in Swordsmanship.

That diagonal slash was incredibly fast.

Before Ling Fei’s eyes, the sword’s shadow descended. The howling Sword Qi was already so close it made his skin sting.

If Ling Fei didn’t react in time, he would undoubtedly be severely injured.

This strike could even decapitate him.

”Pang Fei’s Sword Momentum is so fierce. Can Ling Fei really match him?” The people on the Observation Platform couldn’t help but tense up, worried for Ling Fei.

”Ling Fei!” Huang Xiaoman couldn’t help but stand up.

Shangguan Yurou, Zhou Qingshui, and the others tensed, their eyes glued to the dueling platform.

Body like a shadow, Move with the Wind!

Just then, Ling Fei’s body moved. He retreated as if with the wind, easily evading the strike.

PHEW!

Only then did Huang Xiaoman, Shangguan Yurou, and the others let out a sigh of relief.

’Body like a shadow!’ Seeing this, Pang Fei’s eyes narrowed, and he began to take Ling Fei even more seriously.

Before Ling Fei could even land, Pang Fei took a large step and leaped into the air.

Sword Pressing Mountains and Rivers!

Pang Fei hung in the air, his Long Sword chopping down toward Ling Fei’s head.

SWISH!

As this sword descended, its momentum was like a mountain, and a majestic Sword Qi pressed down on Ling Fei.

This strike concentrated all of Pang Fei’s Sword Momentum. It was like a mountain and even contained a trace of Sword Intent.

One could say this was Pang Fei’s strongest attack at the moment.

Previously, he had defeated Zhou Feng with this very move.

Now, as this sword chopped down, the Sword Momentum was so overwhelming that even people in the distance could feel it.

”That strike has the momentum of a mountain. Can Ling Fei possibly block it?” Feeling that Sword Momentum, everyone’s nerves were stretched taut.

”Brother Fei can block this attack, right?” Wu Dapang’s eyes widened as he stared ahead.

But a sliver of worry remained in his heart.

Because Ling Fei’s body was still moving with the wind; he hadn’t had a chance to stabilize his footing yet.

Let alone build up his own momentum.

Under these circumstances, how could it be easy to block Pang Fei’s full-powered strike?

Huang Xiaoman remained standing, staring intently ahead.

The girls beside her also wore solemn expressions, their hearts in their throats.

”I wonder how this Ling Fei will block this attack?” On a nearby Observation Platform, many people smirked as they looked at Ling Fei.

Many of them were waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

However, Ling Fei remained completely calm.

’Is this his full power?’ Ling Fei’s eyes glinted as he felt the mountain-like Sword Momentum pressing down on him.

His body was like the wind as he quickly floated to the ground.

As Ling Fei landed, the sword’s light flashed before him. The howling Sword Qi whipped the corners of his robes into a frenzy.

The fierce Sword Momentum had him completely locked down, leaving him with no path of retreat.

”In that case, let me show you my Cold Qi Sword!” As the Sword Momentum crashed down, Ling Fei’s eyes narrowed. A wave of Cold Qi emanated from his body, and the Cold Chi True Qi within him surged, pouring into the Long Sword in his hand. At that moment, the temperature on the dueling platform plummeted.

Even Ling Fei’s Long Sword seemed to transform into an Ice Sword.

Sword Qi like a river, one sword to seal a mountain!

As the Cold Qi spread, a low voice escaped Ling Fei’s lips.

Immediately, he stepped forward, and his Long Sword moved, slashing upward toward Pang Fei, who was pressing down like a mountain.

SWISH!

The sword flashed, and Sword Qi swept out from it.

However, this Sword Qi was incomparably cold. The moment it appeared, it began to apply an Ice Seal to the Sword Momentum released by Pang Fei.

The entire Void seemed about to freeze under this Sword Qi.

Pang Fei could clearly feel his Sword Momentum being obstructed, his Sword Qi being sealed by ice bit by bit.

With his Sword Qi under an Ice Seal, how could his attack possibly land?

CLANG!

Just then, Ling Fei’s Long Sword struck Pang Fei’s.

At the same time, a majestic Sword Qi erupted forth.

This Sword Qi was incredibly sharp, yet also bone-chillingly cold, possessing the power to seal heaven and earth in ice.

As the two swords clashed, Pang Fei immediately felt the heavy Sword Qi erupting from his own sword being sealed in ice.

In the next moment, an extremely cold Sword Qi ravaged its way up his blade.

He felt a biting cold in his right arm.

”Such cold Sword Qi!” Pang Fei’s expression changed instantly.

But before he could react, the erupting Sword Qi was about to engulf him, like a Sword River capable of sealing heaven and earth in ice was sweeping toward him.

Pang Fei shuddered.

”Not good!” Pang Fei immediately moved, using the force of the sword clash to retreat.

THUD! THUD!

Pang Fei retreated explosively.

But Ling Fei’s body moved with the wind, and his Long Sword moved as well.

Cold River Seals the Mountain!

SWISH!

He swept his sword out, its Sword Qi like a river, threatening to drown Pang Fei.

This Sword Qi was extremely cold; wherever it passed, it seemed to seal all things in ice!

Sword Shadow Like a Mountain!

Pang Fei held his sword, its shadow flickering as he slashed out seven times in an instant.

The sword shadows overlapped, forming a mountain-like barrier in front of him to block Ling Fei’s attack.

However, Ling Fei’s Sword Momentum was torrential, his Sword Qi like a True Dragon Emerges from the Sea—wildly domineering. The Cold Qi that washed over could seal everything in ice.

Under this Cold Qi, Pang Fei’s mountain-like Sword Qi was sealed in ice.

Then, the Sword Qi, like a tidal wave, took advantage of the opening and crashed into Pang Fei.

BANG!

Pang Fei’s body was sent flying.

With a CLANG, his Long Sword fell to the dueling platform.

If one looked closely, his Long Sword was already covered in ice crystals.

Pang Fei’s body also crashed to the ground. Ice crystals began to form on him, and his eyebrows were already white with frost.

A wave of Cold Dao Sword Qi began to wreak havoc in his meridians.

”Such cold Sword Qi!” Pang Fei’s face changed drastically. He hurriedly circulated the True Qi in his body to resist the invading Cold Dao Sword Qi.

Inside Pang Fei’s body, True Qi flowed like a river. Only under the resistance of this majestic True Qi was Ling Fei’s Cold Dao Sword Qi finally stopped.

But by now, Ling Fei had landed in front of Pang Fei. A Long Sword pulsing with Cold Qi was already before his eyes.

When this Long Sword appeared, the air in the entire dueling grounds seemed to be sealed by the freezing Cold Qi.

Even the breaths of the countless spectators seemed to freeze.

Silence!

An uncanny silence!

At this moment, everyone in the arena stared intently at the dueling platform.

They stared at the pathetic figure of Pang Fei on the ground.

Seeing the frost on Pang Fei’s face and eyebrows, everyone understood that he had lost.

Then, their gazes shifted to the Long Sword pressed against Pang Fei’s body.

”That Sword Qi...” After sensing the Sword Qi on the Long Sword, a chill immediately rose from the bottom of everyone’s hearts.

Such Sword Qi was not only sharp, but it also had the power to seal all things in ice.

How could anyone of the same level possibly defend against it?

This sword strike was soul-shaking!
