Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Youth in White_1
"Demonic Dance!"
With a wave of Chu Tiange’s palm, his Treasure Sword began to spin at high speed. Then, dense sword qi whizzed through the air, tearing it apart. It rushed towards Xu Ruoyan with incredibly fierce speed. Such power could even force regular Fourth Stage Grandmasters to avoid its edge.
WHOOSH!
Before Chu Tiange could harm Xu Ruoyan, Ling Chen had already appeared in front of her. His Thunder Shadow Sword vibrated in his hand, forming a dark golden Thunder light at the tip. He took two quick steps forward, and the ancient halberd drew a dark golden trail in mid-air, with continuous BOOMS erupting in the air. Without any consideration of retreat, it directly chopped down on the dense sword qi that was blasting towards him.
The two collided, and sparks shot out. A shocking impact surged out from their point of contact. The dense sword qi, which could shatter a Fourth Stage Grandmaster’s defense, was split in half directly by Ling Chen’s sword.
The intense rebound traveled along the sword tip toward Ling Chen. However, when these rebound forces reached the hilt of the sword, the Thunder Sword Aura on it wriggled unexpectedly, directly eliminating all the rebound forces.
The uniqueness of this sword made Ling Chen admire it even more.
With the power of this sword, Ling Chen directly broke Chu Tiange’s momentum. Ling Chen himself, however, remained unmoved. The Thunder Shadow Sword radiated a mysterious dark golden luster, making him the most eye-catching presence in the hall.
"What a strong Treasure Sword!"
Chu Tiange was pushed back, but his eyes were fixed on the Thunder Shadow Sword in Ling Chen’s hand. His Earth Demon Sword was a high-grade famous Treasure Sword, but it seemed inferior in front of this Thunder Shadow Sword. This sword is obviously at least a medium-grade precious weapon.
In his opinion, in terms of strength, Ling Chen could never be his match. But now, Ling Chen is able to unleash a strength that overrides his. All of this is because of the Thunder Shadow Sword.
As this thought crossed his mind, the greed in Chu Tiange’s eyes thickened. If he could get this Thunder Shadow Sword, he would be unmatched among his peers!
"Charge together, seize the Thunder Shadow Sword, and you will be heavily rewarded!"
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Chu Tiange’s eyes as he suddenly shouted.
As soon as his voice fell, a cold gleam flashed in the eyes of Mei Ji and the others behind him, seeming to be planning a group attack.
"Want to gang up on us? First, you have to ask if this lady agrees."
Xu Ruoyan placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. A glimmer of icy blue light flickered within her beautiful eyes.
"Swift battle, swift conclusion!"
Ling Chen didn’t waste any words. He took the lead and flew out, both hands holding the Thunder Shadow Sword. He swung it, and a ray of Thunder Light sword qi surged out directly, pushing away the air. A vacuum path was created, and he appeared in front of Chu Tiange like a flash of lightning.
CLANG!
Chu Tiange’s face changed. He did not expect Ling Chen’s sword to be so fast. In his rush, he just managed to block Ling Chen’s sword qi. However, the thunder energy hidden in the sword qi was suddenly transmitted from his Earth Demon Sword, pouring into his hands.
"Damn it!"
Chu Tiange’s arms were numb, and his clothes were torn to pieces. Just as he was fuming with rage and planning to counterattack, Ling Chen’s sword swung down again. It was as if thunder had descended from the heavens, forcing him to raise his sword to defend.
Another clear sound of metal clashing echoed in the Void, and electricity scattered in all directions. Chu Tiange was forced to retreat by more than ten meters, retreating repeatedly.
"Phantom Sound Divine Music!"
Mei Ji blew her flute, and her Illusion Technique suddenly spread around them, going towards Xu Ruoyan to envelop and suffocate her.
"HMPH!"
Xu Ruoyan activated the second level of her Ice Heart Divine Soul. The blue light in her eyes was solid, unaffected by the Illusion Technique.
WHOOSH!
The Cloud and Water Sword pierced the Void, heading straight for Mei Ji’s white throat.
"Stop her!"
The remaining three young demonic experts, all having a Cultivation greater than that of a Grand Master, spread out upon hearing Mei Ji’s orders and attacked Xu Ruoyan from different angles.
"Mist Rain Four Falling!"
Fiercely rejecting the influence of the Phantom Sound Divine Music, Xu Ruoyan swung her Cloud and Water Sword around, unleashing four waves of sword qi. Three of them blasted a young demonic expert out of the way, while the remaining one struck directly at Mei Ji.
In the heat of the moment, Mei Ji had no choice but to stop playing her flute and use it to block Xu Ruoyan’s sword qi.
However, this was the opportunity Xu Ruoyan was waiting for. As soon as Mei Ji stopped, Xu Ruoyan disappeared from her original spot like a wisp of smoke. By the time she reappeared, she was already in front of Mei Ji.
The chilly sword tip was already silently piercing towards Mei Ji’s vital area.
DING!
Mei Ji quickly unsheathed a dagger with her left hand to barely block Xu Ruoyan’s Sword Light. However, she was blasted clear away, a mist of blood spraying from her mouth.
"Senior Brother Chu, save me!"
As she was about to be killed by Xu Ruoyan, Mei Ji called for Chu Tiange’s help.
The call from Mei Ji threw Chu Tiange’s mind into disarray. Mei Ji was the woman he loved; her death would be a severe blow to him.
"You still have the mind to care about others at this time?"
Just as his mind was distracted, a mocking voice rang out in his ear.
What followed was a Sword Light that carried the roar of thunder.
BANG!
The Sword Light slammed into Chu Tiange’s chest, instantly slicing through his clothing. However, under the clothing was a piece of inner armor, which blocked the Sword Light.
Despite this, under the force of the blow, Chu Tiange still spat out blood and staggered back more than ten steps.
"How is this possible? How could I lose to a nobody!"
Chu Tiange could hardly believe that he was defeated by Ling Chen. Even though the fact was right in front of him, his ego prevented him from accepting it.
"You’re too arrogant! A frog in a well—all your talent is for naught with such a narrow perspective."
Ling Chen shook his head with a cold laugh. The last time he encountered Chu Tiange, the latter was far stronger than him. However, the tables had now turned, and Chu Tiange was no longer his opponent. Was Chu Tiange’s talent lacking? Clearly not. His fatal flaw was his haughtiness, his refusal to acknowledge anyone, his unwillingness to face the disparities between himself and others, and his blind arrogance. In the end, this would only lead to him being left behind by everyone.
"It’s a pity you won’t have the chance to reflect on it!"
Ling Chen had no intention of sparing Chu Tiange’s life. As soon as he finished speaking, his Thunder Shadow Sword thrust straight out, aiming for Chu Tiange’s neck.
At the same time, Xu Ruoyan also raised her Cloud and Water Sword, preparing to put Mei Ji to death.
However, at that moment, two Flying Daggers suddenly shot out from the passage in front.
These two Flying Daggers flew from left and right, smacking into the Thunder Shadow Sword and Cloud and Water Sword, nullifying the Sword Energy of Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan. The trajectory of their Sword Light skewed, bypassing their bodies.
"What?"
Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan’s faces changed simultaneously. Then they abruptly looked up to see a youth in white standing at the far end of the hall, walking steadily towards them.
This youth in white was very handsome, but his face was expressionless, his eyes bereft of emotion, showing neither joy nor sorrow. There was no emotional fluctuation on his face, as if he were a living corpse.
Those two Flying Daggers were obviously thrown by this young man in white.
