A Clash of Swordsmen

(Go for it! [website name] is a super reliable website.)

This sword is not fast.

However, a faint blue aura swirled around the sword, which was the Azure Nether Sword Qi, refined from True Essence.

Lin Chen's eyes remained calm as his peak Earth Martial Realm cultivation erupted, and he thrust out with his sword as well.

Bite!

Sword tips met sword tips, colliding with a resounding clang, but with little outward shock.

But when that voice rang out, it caused the people in the audience to change color drastically, and a chill ran through them.

"These two's Sword Dao is extraordinary."

Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly.

On the arena, Lin Chen easily broke through the Sword Momentum intent contained in Xiao Wangsheng's sword strike.

Immediately, he retreated abruptly, and then the Flowing Cloud Sword transformed into a burst of azure sword shadows.

In an instant, countless Flowing Cloud Sword seemed to appear on the arena simultaneously, each one both real and illusory, weaving together a vast sword Sword Net that enveloped Lin Chen.

Lin Chen remained calm. Just as the Sword Net approached, he flicked his wrist and unleashed eighteen consecutive sword strikes, each a crucial moment in the flow of energy within the Sword Net.

Immediately, the impenetrable Sword Net paused slightly, and its flow became momentarily disordered.

In that chaotic instant, Lin Chen's figure suddenly surged forward.

With his Immovable Wisdom King Body fully activated and his immense blood and energy surging within him, Lin Chen neither dodged nor avoided, but instead crashed directly through the gap in the Sword Net that had not yet closed!

Sizzle!

Several sword shadows swept past Lin Chen's body, tearing his robes, but leaving only faint white marks the moment they touched his skin. The marks quickly healed, leaving no visible injury.

"What?!"

Xiao Wangsheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Lin Chen had defeated Sky Eagle Young Master before, so he naturally knew that this was a formidable opponent, and the outcome of this battle was uncertain.

But he never expected that Lin Chen's physical body, as a sword cultivator, would be so powerful!

"Not only could he discern the subtleties of this move and exploit its weaknesses, but he also decisively charged out – what a resolute judgment!"

Xiao Wangsheng was startled, but his reaction was extremely quick.

Seeing Lin Chen charging towards him, the Flowing Cloud Sword immediately materialized from its ethereal form, slashing horizontally at Lin Chen's waist and abdomen.

This sword strike was devoid of any fancy moves; the Azure Nether Sword Qi was so solid that it seemed to slice through the air wherever the blade passed.

But Lin Chen seemed to have anticipated this, his forward momentum undiminished. He joined his left fingers like a sword, and with True Essence wrapped in the power of the Glazed Bone, he fiercely pointed at the spine of the Flowing Cloud Sword.

Using his fingers as a sword, he forcefully clashed with the blade!

Bang!

The swords clashed, producing a dull, loud sound. Blood flowed from Lin Chen's sword-fingers, but the sword was also deflected several inches.

Immediately, Lin Chen's Heavenly Profound Sword seized the opportunity and plunged straight in, aiming for Xiao Wangsheng's vulnerable chest.

Xiao Wangsheng's pupils contracted, and his body swirled like Flowing Cloud cloud as he retreated rapidly, narrowly avoiding the sword's edge. However, his left sleeve was ripped open by the Sword Qi, leaving a foot-long gash.

The two passed each other and then stopped.

Xiao Wangsheng glanced at the tear in his left sleeve, where blood was seeping out and staining the entire cuff red.

If we hadn't retreated quickly enough, the consequences of that attack would have been unimaginable!

Xiao Wangsheng looked up at Lin Chen, his fighting spirit growing stronger. "Fellow Daoist Lin is not only highly skilled, but also decisive and fearless in battle, which is truly admirable."

Lin Chen felt a little regretful.

With the strength of his Glazed Bone, he met the attack head-on. If his opponent reacted even slightly slower, Lin Chen's sword would then severely injure him, securing victory.

However, Xiao Wangsheng, worthy of being the Cloud Province Ranking Champion, reacted extremely quickly and managed to avoid the attack.

Oh well, it'll just take a little more effort.

Thinking this, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao's Azure Nether Sword Qi is ethereal and sharp, which has also broadened my horizons."

"I was at a disadvantage in the previous move, but this battle is still a long way off!" The moment Xiao Wangsheng finished speaking, his Sword Qi surged around him, and his aura suddenly became dangerous.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he gripped the Heavenly Profound Sword tightly. He also pushed his Immovable Wisdom King Body to its limit, with pale golden True Essence and a warm, jade-like luster reflecting off his body.

The next moment, both of them vanished from their original positions.

Ding ding ding ding!

On the arena, a series of rapid sounds erupted instantly. The figures of the two were blurred, and only the blue and gold sword lights could be seen frantically clashing!

Xiao Wangsheng unleashed his full Sword Momentum, the Azure Nether Sword Qi sometimes transforming into invisible Flowing Cloud, entwining and cutting, and sometimes condensing into a sharp line, pointing directly at Lin Chen's vital points.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, remained steadfast in his approach to all changes. The essence of the Great Azure Sword Canon flowed through his mind, using simplicity to overcome complexity. Furthermore, relying on his incomparably powerful physical body, his attacks were extremely unrestrained!

The two auras surged rapidly as they clashed, and the arena's light screen rippled violently amidst Sword Qi crisscrossing Sword Qi.

As the fierce battle raged on, Xiao Wangsheng grew increasingly alarmed.

He was born with a natural talent for swordsmanship and had been unparalleled in Sword Dao since childhood. He had also trained diligently in the Clear Radiance Hall for many days. However, in this battle, he was slightly inferior in skill and his foundation was actually not as good as his opponent's!

"The opponent's physical strength is too formidable; we cannot afford to drag this out for long."

Xiao Wangsheng's mind raced, and the Azure Nether Sword Qi changed once again, becoming heavy and profound.

Azure Nether Mountain Suppression!

With a single sword strike, it was as if a blue mountain descended from the sky, its immense pressure sealing off all directions, leaving no room for escape.

This is a move from the "Azure Nether Sword Scripture" that emphasizes offensive power, aiming to overwhelm the opponent with overwhelming force and secure victory in one strike.

Lin Chen suddenly felt the air around him become sticky like glue, making his movements sluggish. But instead of retreating, he faced the blue mountain and raised his Heavenly Profound Sword diagonally upwards!

There were no complex sword techniques; only a faint gray light spread out.

Below the stage, Sky Eagle Young Master witnessed this move and felt a chill run through his body, causing him to tremble slightly.

It was this one sword strike that instantly killed the Primordial Sky Eagle he had summoned, leaving a deep impression on him.

"Damn it! This sword strike is even more powerful, and he's become even stronger."

Sky Eagle Young Master clenched his fists and muttered to himself.

"However, I'm only slightly behind now. Once I catch up, I will definitely defeat you!"

He muttered to himself.

At the center of the battlefield, gray light condensed into an arc of light, rushing upwards and colliding fiercely with the blue mountain.

Boom!!!

The next instant, a deafening roar echoed throughout the Golden Palace.

The azure mountain that had been pressing down actually shattered on its own, exploding with a deafening roar, and a vast wave of energy engulfed the entire arena.

Immediately, Lin Chen's gaze sharpened. A silent sword light, hidden within the azure mountains, used the vast fluctuations as cover, swept straight toward him!

This was actually Xiao Wangsheng's killing move.

"A move within a move, a hidden killing intent; Xiao Wangsheng's methods are quite impressive."

Lin Chen smiled slightly, and with another strike of the Heavenly Profound Sword, he had already reserved some power, and another gray light spread out.

Lin Chen had already figured it out during their previous fierce exchanges.

Even if the opponent has cultivated the Azure Nether Sword Scripture, their Sword Intent has not yet reached 50%, so the boost to the swordsman's combat power is not Immovable Wisdom King Body.

At that moment, Lin Chen understood.

In a direct confrontation, Xiao Wangsheng had no chance, so his opponent would have to resort to unconventional tactics to win.

As long as Lin Chen guards against this unexpected move, his opponent will naturally have no chance to turn the tide.

"Excuse me, I just finished special training."

Lin Chen thought to himself.
