Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2740: Killing Kun Tian (Two)

Jian Chen had already seen through that Kun Tian himself had not exploded. Instead, he used some kind of secret technique to condense another body out of powerful energy. It was similar to a clone.

However, the clone was extraordinary. When it self-destructed, it was so powerful that it was already equivalent to the full-powered strike of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.

And as soon as the clone was created, Kun Tian had silently hidden himself in the space several thousand meters away, erasing his presence so he was completely concealed.

He used the self-destruction of his clone to confuse the enemy, or even heavily injure then, while he could hide away and look for an opening to launch a killing strike at all times.

It had to be mentioned that this was a highly effective killing method. If a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime from the Saintsʼ World faced this attack, it really was possible for Kun Tian to kill them off in a single strike. Even Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes on par to Kun Tian could die from the slightest carelessness.

However, his opponent just happened to be Jian Chen. With Jian Chenʼs Laws of Space, Kun Tianʼs attempt to hide in space without the Laws of Space was like trying to teach a fish how to swim to Jian Chen.

Bang!

With a heavy rumble, the space rippled violently like water. Jian Chenʼs stab forced out Kun Tian from the space there.

Kun Tian was stern. He held a sword that was three fingers wide in his hand. The sword shone brightly as it gave off pulses of energy. However, he had been forced into a stagger by Jian Chenʼs attack.

Although Jian Chen did not have the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways, he was still stronger than Kun Tian who had just broken through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer. Even when Kun Tianʼs battle prowess was greater than most other Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes from the Saintsʼ World, he still lost the upper hand in a clash against Jian Chen.

”Just who are you? Since when did our Darkstar race possess an expert like you?” Kun Tian growled, but as soon as he finished talking, he became confused. He could no longer recall what experts the Darkstar race possessed.

Jian Chen understood. He knew Kun Tian had lost his memories and had forgotten many things, but he would always absent-mindedly mention some matters from before his memory loss.

This was because some memories and impressions were just too deep, as if they were deeply embedded in his soul. Even if he had lost his memories on the surface, his subconsciousness would still remember them.

”Kun Tianʼs memory loss wonʼt last for too long. He only needs the slightest reminding and heʼll probably recall it all,” thought Jian Chen. He glanced past the sword in Kun Tianʼs hand and his heart immediately thumped.

Kun Tianʼs sword was a low quality god artifact, an undamaged low quality god artifact. He could tell from the Laws of the Sword around the sword that Kun Tian also walked the Way of the Sword!

Immediately, Jian Chenʼs killing intent erupted like a volcano. In that moment, his intent to kill Kun Tian became unprecedented.

”I have to kill you today!” Jian Chen was utterly determined. He said nothing as his gaze became icy. He condensed another strand of sword Qi and attacked Kun Tian again.

The sword in Kun Tianʼs hand immediately erupted with the might of a god artifact, also stabbing at Jian Chen. The sword shone with dazzling light, cutting a thin crack in the space, while sword slashes began to pepper the tough ground beneath him.

Jian Chen sneered. He controlled space and disturbed the area between them. Kun Tianʼs sword immediately slowed down, while Jian Chenʼs sword Qi suddenly erupted in speed.

Kun Tianʼs eyes narrowed, but he did not become flustered at all. A low quality god artifact armor immediately covered his body.

Jian Chenʼs sword Qi struck Kun Tianʼs armour, but he failed to penetrate it. He only managed to knock Kun Tian away.

Seeing this, Jian Chen could not help but frown. Kun Tian was not weak, possessing the battle prowess of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. Now that he was equipped with two god artifacts as well, both his offence and defence had increased further, only making him stronger. Killing him like this would take quite the effort.

Of course, just Kun Tian alone could not give him as much pressure as he experienced right now. Most importantly, he gained a further understanding of the strength of the ten hall masters through Kun Tian. If the ten hall masters all possessed god artifacts, that would be bad news to him.

”Darkstar Imperial Technique—Sky Splitter!” Suddenly, Kun Tian bellowed out. The energy on him surged out violently and the might of a God Tier Battle Skill flooded the surroundings. He swung the sword in his hand overhead at Jian Chen in the distance.

Pressure filled the depths of the Land of Soul Destruction. His sword fell with a destructive might, as if the entire sky was about to be cut in half by that slash.

An invisible, restraining force appeared and Jian Chen felt his body sink. Not only were his movements restricted, his presence had been completely locked onto as well.

Given the situation, even if he fled this place with the Laws of Space, he would not be able to dodge the attack of the God Tier Battle Skill.

Jian Chenʼs expression remained the same, calm and composed. However, his eyes became scorching white in that instant, as if they were filled with endless sword qi.

He used the will of the Ultimate Way of the Sword. The power of the Laws of the Sword immediately surged, becoming even more powerful than before.

However, Jian Chenʼs expression became rather strange, because when he used the will of the Ultimate Way of the Sword, he could actually vaguely sense the location of the might of the world from the God Tier Battle Skill.

God Tier Battle Skills possessed the might of the world. This basically certified a God Tier Battle Skill to be a God Tier Battle Skill. Jian Chen had experienced it many times before.

But right now, when he used the will, it felt completely different from before. His senses of the world were even clearer and even more precise.

In the past, he had viewed this might of the world as an embodiment of the laws and ways of the world. It was not just him either. Basically all cultivators held the same view.

But right now, it had overturned his previous understanding of this might of the world. The might of the world was more like a form of will than an embodiment of laws or ways. It was a will that originated from the world.

It was as if using a God Tier Battle Skill could gain the support of the will of the world.

”The will of the world? The world has a will as well? Or should I say, this is only because of the special circumstances in which the Darkstar world was formed that I get this mistaken impression?” In that moment, Jian Chen felt rather confused. However, this was the first time he had used the will of the Ultimate Way of the Sword against a God Tier Battle Skill, so he was not certain whether it would be the same in the outside world.

Moreover, having reached his current level of comprehension, his understanding of the world was much deeper than before. He clearly knew that in order to possess a will, there required thought. Wills could be described as a form of thought.

The God Tier Battle Skill arrived extremely quickly. In that critical moment, Jian Chen did not have much time to think at all. When he sensed the will of the world, he immediately turned his will of the Ultimate Way of the Sword into an invisible sword, thrusting it over viciously.

There were no ground-shaking disturbances, no violent eruptions or booms. All of it happened silently. When Jian Chen stabbed out with his will, he felt like he had severed a thin, frail string. Afterwards, Kun Tianʼs God Tier Battle Skill seemed to lose thr very core of its power, its might plummeting abruptly. In a single instant, it went from the God Tier Battle Skill from earlier to the most simple energy attack.
