Chapter 714 – I Am Invincible Against Opponents of the Same Level (2/2)
They were all Star Condensation experts with rich experience in battle, and so reacted very quickly. As long as they were far enough away, the threat presented by these swords would be much weaker.
Some people estimated that the safe distance was about eight zhang.
Instantly, several dozen experts flew through the air, dispersing into the courtyard's surroundings, leaving a distance of around ten-some zhang between them and Chen Changsheng. However, none of them left.
Chen Changsheng's steps did not slow in the slightest at this sight. He continued forward, very quickly returning to that courtyard within the alley of the Northern Military Department.
The crabapple tree here had no leaves and its bare branches stretching into the sky took up very little space.
But when several hundred swords arrived in the courtyard, the space became rather cramped.
Cut branches were not fallen leaves. When they dropped down, they would not rustle.
That crabapple tree that had moved from a mountain on the outskirts of the capital just a few weeks ago silently transformed into countless chunks of wood piled on the snow.
This sight was still bizarre.
Swords filled the courtyard, emanating a swift and fierce aura.
The world was enveloped in awe-inspiring sword intents.
Anyone who wished to break through these swords and attack Chen Changsheng would have to take on the full brunt of these awe-inspiring sword intents.
On the snowy street, he and Wang Po had parted ways to carry out their own duties.
Wang Po had gone to battle Tie Shu, as he was skilled at fighting as the weak against the strong. The facts had proved that he had truly accomplished this.
Chen Changsheng had come to the courtyard to kill Zhou Tong because he was skilled at fighting as one against many.
”You've finally used your strongest technique?”
Xiao De stood at the stone gate of the courtyard, watching Chen Changsheng.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng was standing on the stone steps. The distance between the two was not near and not far, not more and not less. It was precisely eight zhang.
This distance was indicative of many things. Firstly, Xiao De also did not have the confidence to resist the collective attack of several hundred swords. Secondly, he seemed to have a deep understanding of Chen Changsheng's techniques.
This was evidenced by his words.
Several days ago, Eunuch Lin had suffered severe injuries in the Orthodox Academy, shocking many people who were aware of what had actually occurred.
To people on Xiao De's level, Chen Changsheng's techniques had long since ceased to be a secret.
”Against people of the same cultivation level, you truly could be considered invincible.”
Xiao De continued speaking, his voice somewhat melancholy.
To be invincible against opponents of the same level seemed a rather ordinary feat, but it was not actually so.
In the past thousand years, not a single person had been able to do this, not a single one.
Before he broke through, Wang Po had been about the same level of strength as Xue Xingchuan. When Su Li had been at the initial level of Star Condensation, he had once been beaten like a dog by some girl from the snowy plains of the north. Even Zhou Dufu, acclaimed as the supreme expert under the starry sky, when he was at the upper level of Ethereal Opening, had not been a match for the mature Chen Xuanba, even when Chen Xuanba was also at the upper level of Ethereal Opening.
Right now, Chen Changsheng was truly able to be invincible against cultivators of the same level.
He was currently at the initial level of Star Condensation, and there were faint signs that he was about to break into the next level.
But let alone initial level Star Condensation experts, even middle level Star Condensation experts would not be able to defeat him.
Not a single one.
It just wasn't possible.
Because the number of swords he possessed represented the number of selves he could have.
To fight him was to fight against hundreds of him.
Who could fight against him?
”Fortunately, you're just invincible against opponents of the same level.”
Xiao De sighed, then said, ”Or else I really would have to turn and leave.”
