Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 591: Chapter 589 Mountain Peak Battle_1

”You are Dustless?”

Emperor Sword Sect slowly exhaled, his eyes shining brightly.

Ling Chen nodded. ”Your Excellency is Emperor Sword Sect, correct?”

”Indeed, I am.”

Emperor Sword Sect cleared his throat and began, ”Among the numerous masters in the world, many are full of unexhibited talent, but none dare to call themselves unbeatable. Do you know why?”

”Only one person can claim the title of ’unbeatable.’ To claim it would mean to rank above all other masters. After all, in the realm of martial arts, there is no strongest, only stronger. The one who dares to call themselves unbeatable must represent the limit of power a Grand Master can achieve, a limit no one can surpass. If defeat comes, then it’s a disgrace to the title,” Ling Chen stated lightly.

Ling Chen smiled. ”My view is different from yours. Over the past several hundred years, the reason there hasn’t been an Unbeatable Sword Sect isn’t that those individuals felt they couldn’t hold onto the title, but because they lacked courage and a sense of responsibility. If they lack even that much courage, then even if their strength is sufficient, they are unworthy of the title Unbeatable Sword Sect. A true Unbeatable Sword Sect embodies both internal and external qualities—they must have strength, and they must also have courage. Since I possess both strength and courage, why can’t I be called the Unbeatable Sword Sect?”

The eyes of Emperor Sword Sect narrowed. ”It seems we’re not on the same page. Since you consider yourself so powerful, I must wake you up.”

”Please enlighten me. I believe you will return empty-handed.”

Ling Chen wasn’t deterred by his opponent’s title. Things were different now. What did Emperor Sword Sect matter? He was now the Unbeatable Sword Sect, a title that ranked even higher than his opponent’s.

”Hehe, this is the first time I’ve encountered such an arrogant young man.”

With a furious laugh, Emperor Sword Sect gestured. Suddenly, dense golden sword qi materialized in the air, resembling a swarm of yellow hornets. As Emperor Sword Sect waved his hand, the torrent of golden sword qi surged towards Ling Chen.

BUZZ!

With a tap of Ling Chen’s foot, ripples of curved sword qi suddenly spread out from around his body, shattering all of Emperor Sword Sect’s incoming attacks before they could even reach him.

”Is that defensive sword qi?”

Emperor Sword Sect was startled. Though it had merely been a test, Ling Chen shattering his probing attack with just defensive sword qi was still shocking.

However, as Emperor Sword Sect, he naturally had more to unleash.

Suddenly, he gestured; sword qi poured from the Void, coalescing into a golden True Qi light sword in his hand. As he swung it, an intense aura of a sovereign erupted from him, embodying the might of Emperor Sword Sect.

Without a glance, Ling Chen struck out directly with the Thunder Shadow Sword. With lightning speed, it hit the weakest point of the True Qi light sword. With a snap, the light sword broke in two.

Emperor Sword Sect’s momentum was effortlessly shattered by Ling Chen’s Sword Momentum.

”Emperor Sword Sect, your era has passed,” Ling Chen declared sonorously, having broken Emperor Sword Sect’s techniques. ”The future belongs to the young. You should return to your seclusion.”

This kid is truly worthy of his reputation.

Hearing this, Emperor Sword Sect suddenly felt a pang of regret. There was no great enmity between him and Ling Chen, no real quarrel. He had come this time solely because Ling Chen, a young man, had been granted the title of Unbeatable Sword Sect, which had provoked his dissatisfaction. He could tolerate being forgotten by the world, but not being surpassed by a junior. After their probing exchange, he realized that, compared to the information he possessed, Ling Chen had grown much stronger. Had he known Ling Chen possessed such potential and was improving with every passing moment, he might have reconsidered attacking him.

Of course, regret or no regret, the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot. As long as he defeated Ling Chen, this trip wouldn’t have been in vain.

CLANG!

Emperor Sword Sect drew his sword. As the glittering, gold-like long sword left its sheath, a chilling aura of slaughter surged towards Ling Chen. When the sword was swung, the space before him distorted, its golden brilliance making it seem as though they had entered an Illusory Realm.

”Let’s move a little further away, so as not to destroy my house.”

Ling Chen’s figure flashed, avoiding Emperor Sword Sect’s sword techniques. He landed on a floating bridge surrounding the mountain peak, then, using his Light Skill, he took several continuous steps, landing on another nearby mountain peak.

Emperor Sword Sect didn’t hesitate and lifted his sword in pursuit.

Emperor Sword Sect against Unbeatable Sword Sect, this is interesting. This battle may be even more intense than the one on Nine Dragons Lake.

Brilliance gathered in Liu Feiyue’s beautiful eyes. Watching such duels was very beneficial for improving her strength, and she naturally wouldn’t miss this one. With a shift of her figure, she too landed on a floating bridge to observe the duel from afar.

”They’ve started fighting!”

At this moment, led by the elder of law enforcement, over a dozen elders of the Cyan Robe Association rushed over. As soon as they arrived, they saw the figures of Ling Chen and Emperor Sword Sect.

Above the mountain summit, the two figures constantly clashed, sending sparks flying.

Around the entire mountain peak, waves of Sword Intent swirled, continuously spreading outward.

”Should we help?” an elder of the Sky Apex Realm asked the elder of law enforcement.

”No need. The opponent is Emperor Sword Sect. He’s definitely come to challenge our Sect Leader for the title of Unbeatable Sword Sect. This is a duel of Jianghu; we should not get involved,” the elder of law enforcement waved his hand in dismissal.

”Emperor Sword Sect has been renowned in Jianghu for thirty years. His strength is not to be underestimated. What if he poses a threat to our Sect Leader?” the elder asked, worried.

”He won’t.” The elder of law enforcement shook his head. ”Emperor Sword Sect has no grudge against our Cyan Robe Association. He wouldn’t do such a thing. What’s more, I don’t believe he can defeat our Sect Leader.”

Ling Chen was the most talented young man he had ever seen. Even if his opponent was Emperor Sword Sect, the possibility of Ling Chen losing was very low.

”Emperor’s Dominance over Mountains and Rivers!”

After another clash, Emperor Sword Sect used the rebound force to leap high above the mountain peak. Man and sword as one, he slashed down fiercely. Before the sword even arrived, the immense, condensed sword pressure had already split the ground on the mountain peak in half. A shockingly clear sword mark, several feet deep, appeared.

A flash of light burst before Ling Chen’s eyes as he saw the sword light slashing down, seemingly cleaving the very air in two.

Ling Chen reacted exceptionally quickly. Almost at the exact moment the sword mark appeared, he retaliated, unleashing ’Seeking Defeat With All Heart,’ the third style of the Unbeatable Sword Technique.

CLANG!

The two long swords met, one from above and one from below, sending sparks scattering in all directions.

Sword waves radiated outward, enveloping the entire mountain peak in what seemed like a force field. Stones on the ground began to levitate, suspended in the utter silence.

BOOM!

The extreme silence was shattered by a terrifying explosion. Shockwaves swept out ferociously. The mountain peak itself began to crumble, the earth cracked, and the nearby floating bridges snapped in unison, plummeting into the abyss below.
