Chapter 18: Peak Battle
"This guy is always so surprising."
Elsewhere in the stands, a young man and woman were watching the situation on the fighting stage.
The person who spoke was a beautiful woman in yellow clothes with a red mole between her eyebrows. She was very beautiful. She was Xiao Muyu, one of the four genius disciples together with Ling Chen.
The other young man was dressed in green and wore a crown on his head. He had an ordinary appearance. But his name, Gu Lingfeng, was not ordinary at all.
"It's really amazing. I, Gu Lingfeng, have only admired a few people in my life. Tianyu Supreme is one, my master is one, and now Ling Chen is also one." Gu Lingfeng said.
Being able to climb up again from the bottom of the pile requires not only extraordinary talent, but also extraordinary will and determination.
In such a desperate situation, I believe that most people's will would be crushed, geniuses would become mediocre, and even if they had an opportunity, they would hardly be able to grasp it.
"But next, his opponent will be Yun Tianhe. Yun Tianhe's strength is not comparable to Zhao Wuxiu's."
Gu Lingfeng continued.
"You and I both know how strong Yun Tianhe is, but I believe Ling Chen is not a reckless person. Since he dares to come and fight, he should be somewhat confident."
Xiao Muyu looked at the figure on the fighting stage with her beautiful eyes. There were many unknown factors about this person, so it was often difficult to draw a conclusion about the outcome.
“It was a really exciting match.”
The black market leader stroked his chin and said with a smile.
"It's indeed exciting, but this result may be a slap in the face of some people." Master Ziyun said coldly.
"A slap in the face?"
Ye Nantian sneered, as if he didn't care at all, "Yun Tianhe is my most proud student. It won't be too late to say this after Ling Chen defeats him."
After saying that, his gaze fell on Yun Tianhe who was not far away. This disciple of his had never let him down.
Swish!
At this moment, Yun Tianhe suddenly jumped up from his original position, stepped on the edge of the fighting arena, took a few steps in the air, and landed steadily on the fighting arena.
The two men stood twenty meters apart, each emitting a surge of fighting spirit.
"Yun Tianhe, three months ago, you treated me like an ant. Do you regret not killing me three months ago?"
Ling Chen's white clothes fluttered in the wind.
"Haha, although I don't know what means you used to improve your cultivation in such a short time, you are still an ant in my eyes now. Why should I regret it?"
Yun Tianhe's face was cold, and his black robe danced wildly. The aura that had reached the peak of the ninth level was not restrained at all, and swept across wantonly.
"Then let me show you what you call the power of an ant."
While speaking, Ling Chen had already drawn his sword, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Yun Tianhe.
The simple conversation instantly ignited the atmosphere to a fiery climax.
"Fight, fight!"
There were constant roars of excitement and anticipation around the fighting arena, and the disciples of the Shenyi Sect were almost going crazy.
There is no way, this battle is too eye-catching and too exciting.
The two were both top-notch talents of the Divine Will Sect. One of them became the top talent in the martial arts world at the age of fifteen. He was personally taught by the top master of the Five Nations, Tianyu Supreme. He had all the dazzling halos since he was born. Although he has encountered a great disaster, he has stood up again. The other one, who was taught by Ye Nantian, the sword master of the Divine Will Sect, had a smooth journey and now has reached the peak of the ninth level. There are many disciples gathered under him, and he has a high prestige among the current disciples of the Divine Will Sect.
The peak battle, this is a battle between top geniuses!
Even those powerful people who have considerable status in the Wind Country seemed to be paying close attention and their attention was highly concentrated.
If everyone in Shenyi Sect thought that Ling Chen's challenge to Yun Tianhe today was a huge joke and was just humiliating himself, then now after the battle with Zhao Wuxiu, no one dared to say that Ling Chen was dreaming.
"Everyone, who do you think is better between these two little guys in this battle?" Qin Shan asked with a smile on the high platform.
“It’s hard to say.” Prince Tai pondered for a moment and then said, “If we compare their cultivation, Yun Tianhe has already entered the peak of the ninth level, which makes him much stronger than that little guy named Ling Chen. However, Ling Chen’s swordsmanship is very exquisite, and he didn’t use his full strength against Zhao Wuxiu. Of course, I also don’t know how strong Yun Tianhe is, so without a real fight, I really can’t judge who is stronger between the two.”
"But all in all, Yun Tianhe's chance of winning is slightly higher."
Prince Tai spoke very tactfully and his analysis was reasonable, so he didn't offend either side and was more inclined to Yun Tianhe.
"Master Ye, what do you think?" Qin Shan suddenly turned his gaze to Ye Nantian beside him.
"Tianhe will win this battle."
Ye Nantian stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Oh, Sect Master Ye has so much confidence in his beloved disciple?" Qin Shan still had a smile on his face.
"Let me analyze this for Mr. Qin. You see, although the fluctuations of the true energy on Ling Chen's body have reached the level of the seventh level, there is a hint of emptiness This obviously shows that Ling Chen has just become a warrior of the seventh level. With this level of strength, how can he be a match for Tianhe, who is at the peak of the ninth level?"
“Besides, we all know that Ling Chen’s martial arts were crippled three months ago. Now, three months have passed, but his martial arts realm has improved so much. He must have borrowed a lot of external forces to reach this level now.” Ye Nantian’s smile was a little cold.
"Recklessly swallowing and absorbing some elixirs or treasures that can improve one's true Qi cultivation, completely relying on the power of the medicine to forcibly improve one's realm, although this kind of improvement does improve one's cultivation, it will come at a heavy price. Moreover, do you think that the strength improved by external forces can be compared with the strength improved by steady and steady practice step by step?"
"This kid relies too much on the power of elixirs and overdraws his potential. I don't think he will ever reach the level of a martial artist in his lifetime. Even before that, he will go astray."
Ye Nantian said solemnly.
"Brother Ye, what you said makes sense."
Prince Tai and several family heads nodded. Indeed, they had all thought of this possibility. After all, Ling Chen's cultivation had been destroyed by someone before, and he was lucky to be able to practice again. He should have consolidated the basics, but Ling Chen did the opposite and improved his cultivation madly. It was totally unreasonable if he didn't use some elixirs or rare treasures.
But doing so would also bring about serious side effects.
But how could they know that Ling Chen was able to rebuild his meridians thanks to the Lingtian Sword Sutra.
What side effects? That is completely fictitious. It is a hidden danger that only ordinary warriors will face.
"That's wrong."
At this time, Master Ziyun suddenly shook his head, "Look at Ling Chen's fight just now, is there any sign of side effects? He is full of energy, and his swordsmanship is full of righteousness. He will definitely not go astray. Just wait and see, Ling Chen will win this battle."
"Haha, then let's all open our eyes and take a good look."
Ye Nantian said with a wry smile.
"Look, Yun Tianhe has drawn his sword!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard.
Chop!
A long sword chant suddenly rang out, and a sharp silver sword was unsheathed, emitting an intimidating edge.
"What a fine sword!"
Qin Shan's eyes lit up. He was the leader of the black market and had seen many weapons and treasures. He knew at first glance that this sword was a rare and famous sword in the world.
"The sword's name is Jinghong!"
Yun Tianhe's eyes were as sharp as swords and his aura was soaring.
Seeing this, Ling Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. This Jinghong Sword was the sword of Ye Nantian, the Sword Master of Shenmen. It was a famous sword with a great reputation in the martial arts world.
Among the famous swords in the martial arts world, the Jinghong Sword can be ranked among the top five.
"What a pity! If Supreme Tianyu was still here, Ling Chen could use the Lingtian Divine Sword to fight the enemy." At this time, a disciple near the fighting arena sighed.
"Indeed, after Supreme Tianyu died, the Lingtian Sword disappeared. No one knows where this divine weapon has gone now."
All the disciples secretly felt it was a pity that they could not see such a showdown between magical weapons.
"Ling Chen, today I will use this Jinghong Sword to drink your blood."
A trace of murderous aura burst out from the Jinghong sword. Yun Tianhe took a step forward, raised his sword, and wherever the sword went, it was unstoppable.
