Ling Tian Sword God

”Get lost!”

Gui Tianjian roared fiercely, as two black sword lights shot out. The black sword lights were extremely violent, swirling into a chilling black tornado, and blasted towards Ling Chen from left and right.

The clothes flapped loudly, black long hair fluttering, as Ling Chen gripped the Red Sky Sword and swept it across horizontally.

Crack!

A deafening explosion erupted, with the two of them as the center, the space began to distort, the airflow trapped within, unable to escape, and the black tornado-carrying sword light shattered with a fierce momentum, wreaking havoc on the surrounding stage, leaving it completely in ruins.

”Such a formidable Sword Intent, both of them are equally matched in power.”

A warrior watching from the sidelines exclaimed.

”This Gui Tianjian’s strength is actually much stronger than expected.”

Sima Linyuan looked a bit surprised at Gui Tianjian on the stage, who had not used his full strength when they last faced each other.

”Heh, who would’ve thought you’d have some skill?”

Gui Tianjian sneered, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. He hadn’t expected Ling Chen’s Sword Intent to surpass his own, leaving him without any opportunity to gain the upper hand.

”But it’s a pity, Sword Intent is not the key factor in deciding victory or defeat, your advantage is insignificant.”

”Is that so?”

Ling Chen was unmoved, responding indifferently, ”I’ll wait until you defeat me before you speak such words.”

”Now it’s time for you to get off the stage!”

Gui Tianjian shifted his right foot half a step, gripping the black long sword and slashed down fiercely, the violent black sword light cut towards Ling Chen like a wolf’s howl.

”Break!”

Leaping and spinning, Ling Chen shattered the black sword light with a single slash, then reached out with his left hand from his waist, shooting out two strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi, swift and unavoidable.

”Hmph, this move is useless against me.”

Gui Tianjian’s left hand also reached out, thumb pressed against index and middle fingers, flicking out two black finger forces, intercepting the Green Lotus Sword Qi out of thin air.

Pfft! Pfft!

However, Gui Tianjian underestimated the power of Green Silk Evening Snow. Although his finger technique was not weak, it was nowhere near the might of Ling Chen’s Green Lotus Sword Qi. The black finger force only stalled momentarily before shattering, releasing two circular shockwaves that spread quickly but still couldn’t match the speed of the Green Lotus Sword Qi’s blast.

Clink! Clink!

In a desperate move, Gui Tianjian raised his black long sword, as two sparks burst in the air before his chest.

”What kind of sword qi is this? It’s not inferior to sword qi released from a sword, even stronger?”

Gui Tianjian thought Ling Chen had cultivated some finger technique that made the finger force comparable to sword qi in appearance, but now he realized he was wrong. These two strands of sword qi surpassed the usual sword qi’s power.

Ling Chen was equally surprised by Gui Tianjian’s abilities. To intercept his Green Lotus Sword Qi with mere finger techniques indicated that Gui Tianjian’s finger technique was no ordinary martial art and was likely at the Saint-level as well.

Withdrawing his left hand, Ling Chen no longer intended to use Green Silk Evening Snow. Currently, he could use that technique to shoot five strands of sword qi at most, and he had already released four, it was wise not to expose his limit.

Taking advantage of Gui Tianjian’s action to smash the Green Lotus Sword Qi, Ling Chen’s figure suddenly descended. A Sword Light stretching over a thousand meters long, like a Heavenly Sword, slashed resolutely downwards.

”Break for me!”

A typical swordsman would focus on blocking, fully defending against Ling Chen’s heavy strike, but Gui Tianjian was notoriously arrogant, and his combat style was fiercely confrontational, never passive. He roared, his black hair standing wildly, as the black air energy surged upward, clashing with the black long sword against the Sword Light.

Boom!

When the twin swords collided, a pitch-black energy sphere spawned from nothingness. Initially the size of a pinky, it expanded to a meter in an instant.

At the moment the energy ball exploded, the entire stage was within the range of the blast. Fortunately, the stage’s shield was exceedingly strong, remaining unmoved under such a terrifying impact, absorbing all the energy shock.

Ling Chen and Gui Tianjian flew up into the sky in succession, avoiding the blast’s core area.

”Ling Yu, it’s your turn to take my sword.”

In the sky, Gui Tianjian’s silhouette appeared, firmly gripping the black long sword with both hands, raising it above his shoulder, then pushing power through his body to his arm muscles, finally exploding it into the palms.

Whoosh!

A crescent black moon suddenly appeared, an incredibly frightening black sword wave radiated in a 180-degree arc, moving faster than most could perceive.

Facing this astonishing sword, Ling Chen drew his sword with his left hand, not adjusting his grip but directly slicing upwards.

Chime!

The scarlet Sword Glimmer, blazing with thunder, lit up the sky above Leidu once more, ascending with an increasing domineering posture, obliterating everything in its path, the void and the black sword scar were alarming.

Blazing Thunder Cut!

The Blazing Thunder Cut unleashed with the current power far surpassed the normal Thunder Cut’s might. Perhaps it was due to the casual use, or the reverse grip of the long sword in the left hand to counterattack, but as Ling Chen wielded that sword, a sudden realization struck, as if understanding something.

Heavenly Thunderstrike, nothing it cannot slice, even cutting through lightning, naturally including sword waves manifested by energy sword qi.

A sound of silk splitting resounded, Gui Tianjian’s kill move not only had no effect but also suffered slight backlash, leaving him with deep apprehension towards Ling Chen.

”This battle, it’s hanging by a thread!”

”I thought Gui Tianjian could slightly suppress Ling Yu with his Sword Intent. Even if not suppressed, the scene should be evenly matched, not falling behind. But now it seems, it’s just like the previous battle with Murong QingShui.”

”Gui Tianjian’s strength should be at the pinnacle among the second-tier geniuses, yet he’s not a match for Ling Yu?”

”The duel isn’t over yet, it’s too early to say. Maybe Gui Tianjian has a counter-strike in reserve.”

Dozens of moves exchanged, the two fought from the sky to the ground, with sword qi powerful enough to tear mountains, battling across the skies of the Imperial City.

”Heavenly Ghost Quadruple Emperor Slash!”

Gui Tianjian’s eyes glinted sharply, his body trembled before suddenly splitting into four, producing three ghostly figures, each draped in black robes, black smoke swirling out from beneath the robes, swept by the fierce wind, forming an overwhelming black airflow.

Four figures swung their swords simultaneously, merging the sword qi into one, descending like a black waterfall cutting a nether rift in the air.

Gui Tianjian originally intended to save this killing move for dealing with Ling Tianyu, but with Ling Chen being so tenacious, he had to unleash it early, even those of equal strength would find it difficult to avoid this sword, their body being inevitably pierced and shattered by the sword light.

Even Sima Linyuan couldn’t force this move from him.
