Chapter 517 – The Intimidating Radiance of Youth (2/2)
If it were someone like Mao Qiuyu or Linghai Zhiwang, these experts only a step from the Divine Domain, they would only need to use their vigorous true essence and profound cultivations to forcefully suppress and then shatter Xu Yourong's Sword of Great Light. They only needed to pay the corresponding rather minuscule price. But Chen Changsheng had a similar cultivation level to Xu Yourong, and his amount of true essence and strength of spiritual sense was far inferior to hers. How could he break this sword?
Of course, the Sword of Great Light was no earthly technique. To use this sword, one would inevitably have to pay an enormous price. Even with Xu Yourong's Heavenly Phoenix blood, she could most likely use it just once.
If Chen Changsheng could not break this Sword of Great Light, his defeat was certain. If he could break the Sword of Great Light, then Xu Yourong's loss was without question. This was also precisely the reason that painter from the Pavilion of Divination had uttered those words in shock.
Today's match on the Bridge of Helplessness had been the focus of everyone's attention. For this battle, the common folk of the capital had waited several months, or even close to two years.
Was it possible for this match to end so quickly?
Many people were very surprised. No matter if it were Mao Qiuyu, Linghai Zhiwang, or Daoist Siyuan in that battle, none of them would have allowed themselves to be forced into such desperate straits so soon.
Yes, these were desperate straits.
This was the case for both Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
Victory or defeat depended on a single attack—Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were both people very confident in themselves, and people with such self-confidence would never allow themselves to be forced into such a situation.
But they still acted in this way, neither leaving a path of retreat for themselves.
Chen Changsheng had used Wang Po's path of the blade to draw a path on the snow bridge. Xu Yourong had used her own path to receive this path. All this was because they were both upright youths.
Youths did not need to keep any reserve.
They would not hide their weakness, much less hide their attacks.
What youths wanted to do was to intimidate.
As a result, this battle that had just barely begun had reached its end.
Senior experts like Linghai Zhiwang were no longer youths, and had even forgotten their own youths, so they could not understand. Tang Thirty-Six could understand, Su Moyu understood, Prince Chen Liu could faintly understand, and Zhexiu understood the most. Because they were all young people.
”Both Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong don't enjoy performing for others.” Tang Thirty-Six turned his head to glance at the dense mass of people crowding the two banks of the Luo River and said, ”It will end very quickly.”
At this moment, a cry of shock suddenly rose up from the great ship.
On the Bridge of Helplessness, the fog of snow madly danced and the mist of rain suddenly scattered.
Countless rays of light concealing countless sword intents assaulted Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng raised his sword and stabbed at a certain place in the rain and snow.
There was nothing new about this attack, much less any deep meaning behind it.
Yet the rain and snow on the bridge abruptly ceased.
