Chapter 21: The Strength of the Grandmaster
This sword, carrying an extremely terrifying killing intent, was directed towards Ling Chen.
In the eyes of everyone, under this kind of oppression, Ling Chen was undoubtedly in a desperate situation.
"Ling Chen is going to lose."
Everyone held their breath and watched the scene motionlessly.
Swish!
Just when the sword was about to pierce through Ling Chen's head, Ling Chen suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were quickly filled with a blood-red color.
At this moment, Ling Chen's temperament suddenly became weird and bloodthirsty, as if he had gone mad.
"This is?"
Xiao Muyu and the others were all shocked to see Ling Chen in this state. Could this also be some kind of secret technique?
"This doesn't seem like some secret technique, it's more like beast transformation." Qin Shan also stared at Ling Chen, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Beast transformation, isn't that the method used by the Demon Sect?" Ye Nantian said with a gloomy face.
"That may not be the case. None of us have ever seen true beast transformation. It is ridiculous to say that Ling Chen used the methods of the Demon Sect based on our imagination alone." said Master Ziyun.
Everyone on the platform was terribly shocked, except for one person who looked extremely excited, with two flames seeming to burst out of his eyes.
It was Prince Tai.
Others could not tell what method Ling Chen used, but he knew it clearly. Ling Chen was indeed using the method of the Demon Sect's Beast Taming Sect to transform into a beast. And to transform into a beast, one needs to absorb the essence and blood of some kind of exotic beast. What Ling Chen erupted at this moment was none other than the Black Demon Ape he raised!
It turned out that the murderer who killed his baby a few days ago was Ling Chen!
It is true that after searching for a long time, I finally found it without any effort.
Prince Tai's eyes flickered violently, he said nothing, and no one knew what he was planning.
"What kind of evil trick is this? Ling Chen, you are indeed the son of the witch, and you are still colluding with the Demon Sect. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven, slay demons and monsters, and uphold justice."
Yun Tianhe shouted loudly, and immediately came up with a very high-sounding reason to put Ling Chen on the side of the evil demons. In this way, he was in the right position. Killing Ling Chen at this time would be like killing the demon, which was a natural thing to do.
"Blood Spirit Sword Technique! One sword without blood!"
Yun Tianhe performed the last move of the Blood Spirit Sword Art. This sword was like a spring breeze and drizzle, but it contained murderous intent and could kill people without shedding blood. It was the strongest move of the Blood Spirit Sword Art.
At this moment, Ling Chen also swung his sword.
There was no emotion in his bloodshot eyes, but he did not fall into madness. This sword contained the taste of killing and bloodthirstiness, welcoming the guest.
"This kid can actually harness the power of the demon ape's blood."
Prince Tai had a look of disbelief on his face. The reason why he had been reluctant to absorb the blood essence of the Black Demon Ape was because he was afraid of the violent factor in it. He was afraid that his realm was not high enough and he would not be able to suppress this power and would go astray.
Ling Chen, a mere seventh-level warrior, was able to use this power without going berserk. This kid must have some secrets.
He didn't know that Ling Chen was practicing the Ling Tian Sword Scripture. Using this magical skill to suppress the Black Demon Ape's blood essence was a small test and a waste of talent.
The two swords intersected each other, and a flash of sword light appeared again. Ling Chen's sword was one step faster and appeared directly in front of Yun Tianhe, leaving Yun Tianhe no time to react before the sword light had already passed over his wrist.
A trace of blood was splattered, and with a clang, the Jinghong sword fell to the ground.
Ling Chen had appeared in front of Yun Tianhe without him noticing, and slashed down fiercely with his sword.
Click!
This sword knocked Yun Tianhe flying backwards, and blood fell from the air like raindrops, instantly covering half of the fighting arena.
"Don't do anything evil, evil creature!"
Ye Nantian could no longer sit still. The sword just now had destroyed Yun Tianhe's ability to resist. If he didn't take action again, Yun Tianhe would definitely die at Ling Chen's hands.
"Ye Nantian, since this is a life-and-death duel, everyone should accept their fate. Do you want to interfere?"
True Man Ziyun came out to stop them.
"roll!"
A powerful blue energy burst out from Ye Nantian's body. He knocked back Master Ziyun with one punch, then put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and suddenly pointed at Ling Chen.
call out!
A blue sword energy pierced through the void and landed heavily on the stage in front of Ling Chen. While forcing Ling Chen back, it left a large gap on the fighting stage.
Outward sword energy!
Ling Chen felt the majestic aura spreading from the gap. It was an invisible oppression. It was just a sword energy, but it had such terrifying power.
This includes Ye Nantian’s sword intent.
In the martial arts world, generally only the great masters who practice swordsmanship can condense the sword intent.
In front of Ye Nantian, even if they were a hundred meters apart, the latter could still kill him with his bare hands.
"You little brat, you actually used the evil magic of the demon sect and dared to murder our disciples. Your crime is simply unforgivable!"
Ye Nantian leaped into the air and landed the fighting stage, staring at Ling Chen with murderous eyes.
"Let me, Ye, clean up the mess today and kill you, little devil!"
After saying that, Ye Nantian actually attacked Ling Chen directly. He pointed his finger into the air, and twisted sword energy suddenly shot out, heading straight for Ling Chen's brow.
Seeing this, Ling Chen's face darkened. His previous worries had indeed come true. Even if he won this battle, he would probably be the loser in the end.
He was worried that an elder would attack him, but he didn't expect that this person was the deputy sect leader Ye Nantian.
Could it be that this person is related to the incident that happened three months ago?
"Ye Nantian! You actually tried to kill a junior in front of so many demons. Have you been living like a dog all these years?"
Immediately, True Man Ziyun flew in front of Ling Chen and also pointed out his index and middle fingers, emitting a stream of purple sword energy that shattered the sword energy shot out by Ye Nantian.
"As the deputy sect leader, it is my duty to clean up the sect. Master Ziyun, you dare to stop me. Could it be that you are also colluding with the Demon Sect?"
Ye Nantian put a hat on Master Ziyun in a blink of an eye.
"Whatever you say, if you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext for it." True Man Ziyun smiled coldly.
"Alright! You think you can stop me? Great Thousand Sword Formation!"
Ye Nantian drew a semicircular trajectory with each of his hands, and around him, the true energy condensed into blue sword energy. These blue sword energy were arranged in a very regular position, emitting an astonishing sharpness.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Nantian suddenly stretched out his palm, and the dense sword energy immediately shot towards Master Ziyun.
"Purple air coming from the east!"
True Man Ziyun had a solemn expression on his face, and he immediately activated his true Qi. The vast purple true Qi condensed into a huge purple gas ball in front of him, like a purple sun.
Bang bang bang bang!
The sword energy slammed into the purple sun, making a sound like a string of cannonballs. With every impact, Master Ziyun's body would take a step back, and he retreated more than ten steps in succession.
After all, Ye Nantian has the title of "Sword Master of Shenmen". In Shenyi Sect, his swordsmanship is second only to Ling Tianyu. On the other hand, Ye Nantian is a grandmaster of the ninth level, while True Man Ziyun is still in the seventh level. There is a certain gap between them in both swordsmanship and cultivation.
If a real fight breaks out, Master Ziyun really can't stop Ye Nantian, which is why Ye Nantian dares to take action directly.
After repelling True Man Ziyun, Ye Nantian smiled coldly, and when he was about to continue his attack, suddenly, a figure flew down from the high platform like a wild goose and landed between the two of them.
The figure was none other than the black market leader, Qin Shan.
"You two, there is no solid evidence that Ling Chen is colluding with the Demon Sect. For Qin's sake, can you please take a long-term view on this matter?"
Qin Shan had a calm expression. He bowed to both of them and said with a smile.
Seeing Qin Shan intervene, Ye Nantian frowned. Qin Shan represented the black market of Wind Country, and he could not ignore his words.
"Yes, I think Ling Chen is a righteous man, and he doesn't seem to be colluding with the Demon Sect. Maybe he just learned the Demon Sect's secret technique by chance, but that's not certain. We still need to investigate it thoroughly."
At this moment, another figure landed on the fighting stage and spoke for Ling Chen.
Ye Nantian looked carefully and found that it was Prince Tai. His face immediately darkened and looked a little ugly.
This Prince Tai was the person he invited, representing the royal family of the Kingdom of Wind. Unexpectedly, the other party did not stand on his side, but chose to speak for Ling Chen.
What's happening here?
"The three giants are actually on Ling Chen's side." On the other side of the training ground, Gu Lingfeng, who was dressed in green, said in surprise.
"I'm not surprised that my master helped Ling Chen. It's really strange that the black market leader and Prince Tai stepped in to protect Ling Chen one after another."
Xiao Muyu was also puzzled. Protecting Ling Chen would mean going against Ye Nantian. What on earth were these big shots thinking?
In fact, it is very simple. Qin Shan will come forward, naturally it was agreed beforehand. As for Prince Tai, he can't let Ling Chen die here, otherwise he will never be able to get his magic ape blood back.
