Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 375: Chapter 374 Strong Enemy_1

”The blood-soaked Long Sword slays a thousand heroes, I command the Spirit Edge with my Sword Heart.”

Ling Chen rapidly recalled the incantation of the Yin-Yang Sword Song in his mind.

They had never displayed this set of swordsmanship since learning it; now, it finally had the chance to see the light of day.

An individual’s swordsmanship, no matter how powerful, was still just the strength of one person. Joint swordsmanship, however, combined the strengths of two people, merging their forces into one. Needless to say, its power was immense.

Clear paths of True Qi circulated within his Dantian. Executing the Yin-Yang Sword Song required him to deploy True Qi of utmost yang and unyielding strength, and it also demanded coordination with Xu Ruoyan.

From Xu Ruoyan flowed True Qi of utmost yin and frigidity. The two of them seemed like two starkly different Energy cores, like the sun and the moon, each emitting a grand, opposing aura.

”What are these two up to!”

Seeing the changes in Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan, Chu Tiange’s expression darkened. Although he didn’t know what they were doing, he could sense a strong threat emanating from them.

”Xun Wujie, they haven’t completed their sword techniques yet! Hurry and interrupt them! Kill this despicable pair!” Chu Tiange barked sternly at Xun Wujie.

”Sword techniques, hmm? I am indeed interested to see.”

Completely disregarding Chu Tiange’s words, Xun Wujie’s face, on the contrary, revealed an interested smile, showing great anticipation for Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan’s combined swordsmanship.

”Fool!”

Chu Tiange’s face turned even darker. This Xun Wujie was too arrogant. Among the disciples of the Saint Witch Religion, only a handful could ignore his words as if they were wind by his ear, and Xun Wujie was evidently one of them.

”Shut up!”

With a wave of his hand, Xun Wujie sent a palm strike through the air, hitting Chu Tiange’s chest. The blow sent Chu Tiange flying backward, vomiting blood, utterly humiliated.

”Senior Brother Chu!”

Mei Ji and the others quickly helped Chu Tiange up, casting fearful glances at the expressionless, black-clad young man before them.

”If you weren’t Sikong Yi’s disciple and dared to say those two words to me, you would already be a corpse,” Xun Wujie’s cold voice rang out.

”Damn it!”

Chu Tiange was seething with rage but dared not voice it. He knew he was no match for Xun Wujie, but that was only temporary. In the future, he would definitely crush Xun Wujie underfoot to vent today’s humiliation.

At this moment, Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan had completed their preparations for the swordsmanship. They exchanged a glance, seemingly transmitting messages through their eyes. The next moment, almost simultaneously, two figures shot forward.

The Thunder Shadow Sword in Ling Chen’s hand and the Cloud and Water Sword in Xu Ruoyan’s hand intertwined. As they neared Xun Wujie, they suddenly swung their Treasure Swords, striking at his waist from two directions.

Stomping on the ground and cracking it, Xun Wujie leaped into the air, avoiding Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan’s combined sword attack. He jumped several meters high and then, like a falling leaf, landed lightly on their swords.

Such movement undoubtedly required extremely high proficiency in Light Skill.

Xu Ruoyan tapped the hilt of her Cloud and Water Sword, causing the blade to flex. Xun Wujie leaped lightly with the blade’s movement.

A glint flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. His hand subtly turned, reversing the sword’s edge upward to slash at Xun Wujie’s lower body from below.

”Broken Moon Wind God Leg!”

Xun Wujie sensed the Sword Light attacking from below, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. The next moment, he began to spin rapidly in mid-air. The True Qi of his Overbearing Style and fierce leg strength converged at his feet, forming something like a tornado descending from the heavens.

Seeing this, Ling Chen quickly adjusted his momentum, keeping pace with Xu Ruoyan. At the tip of his sword, True Qi compressed, and strands of fine black sword qi cohered. On Xu Ruoyan’s side, milky-white sword qi rapidly converged. Black and white, precisely corresponding to Yin and Yang. They leaped up almost simultaneously, thrusting their Treasure Swords straight out.

PCHI! PCHI!

The black and white Sword Light plunged into the tornado formed by the leg strength, immediately creating brilliant sparks. However, the sword qi was constantly torn apart and destroyed by the unending stream of leg force.

”Break!”

A Luan bird’s shadow suddenly appeared on Ling Chen, resonating with Xu Ruoyan, from whom a Phoenix’s shadow simultaneously burst forth. For a moment, the Luan and Phoenix sang in harmony, their combined might charging directly at Xun Wujie above.

The tornado-like leg strength was completely shattered. A hint of seriousness finally appeared on Xun Wujie’s usually expressionless face. He then suddenly retreated, facing the roaring Luan Phoenix sword shadow, and bravely thrust out both palms.

The grand Palm Seal fiercely collided with the Luan Phoenix sword shadow. In the end, the Palm Seal disintegrated, forcibly penetrated. However, Xun Wujie’s palm was very powerful; even Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan’s combined sword technique had most of its strength diminished by it.

PCHI! PCHI!

Two holes were immediately pierced through Xun Wujie’s Protective True Qi shield by the sword qi, also tearing a gash in his clothes.

Two bloody marks appeared on his body.

”They actually managed to wound me? What kind of swordsmanship is this?”

Xun Wujie glanced down at the bloody marks on his body, his face surprised. With Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan’s strength, even combined, they shouldn’t have been able to hurt him.

This swordsmanship was unlike ordinary swordsmanship. It was executed by two people, and the power they unleashed seemed to be several times their individual strengths combined.

”How can it be? He only received minor injuries?”

Ling Chen looked at Xun Wujie, finding it somewhat inconceivable. He and Xu Ruoyan had just executed the Luan Phoenix Harmony, an attack that even a Great Master Level Powerhouse of the Fifth Level probably couldn’t withstand. Yet, Xun Wujie, though caught off guard, had only suffered minor injuries?

”This man is truly troublesome.”

Xu Ruoyan’s jade-like hand also quietly tightened its grip on her Cloud and Water Sword. This Xun Wujie was indeed as formidable as she had anticipated, far surpassing both her and Ling Chen.

”Worthy of being first and second in this Martial World Convention. It seems the younger generation of the Righteous Path is indeed full of geniuses.”

An unusual glint appeared in Xun Wujie’s eyes, but his expression didn’t change much otherwise. This made Ling Chen’s heart sink slightly. It seems a tough fight is imminent.

”I won’t play with you today. But next time, you won’t be so lucky,” Xun Wujie said suddenly, after seeming to consider for a moment. He then turned around, apparently intending to leave.

This statement also surprised Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan. Xun Wujie apparently had no intention of continuing the fight and chose to withdraw temporarily.

However, it made sense upon reflection. With both of them using the Yin-Yang Sword Song, even Xun Wujie could not defeat them quickly.

Moreover, who didn’t have a trump card for self-preservation when venturing out? Even someone as strong as Xun Wujie, unable to quickly defeat Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan, would not want to fight a deadly battle with them.

There were numerous Treasures in the Human Emperor’s Underground Palace. If he squandered all his time on Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan, affecting his own gains, it would indeed not be worthwhile.
