Chapter 390: Frontal Clash (1/2)
Ling Tian paused in shock. If someone else had said this, Ling Tian would have shown him disdain and snorted at him. However, the person speaking was the top expert of this world, Justice! Ling Tian could not be indifferent to his words, and neither did he think that Justice would speak thus in order to sway his confidence, as there was no need!
Just this simple sentence caused Ling Tian to feel as though one of his inhibitions had suddenly collapsed, opening up a wide new panorama. He laughed out loud, ”Interesting! Hahaha… Justice, you're indeed the leader in this present, indeed a grandmaster in the martial arts! Just a simple sentence from you could actually solve a problem that has been plaguing me for a long time! I only have the word 'admiration' for you. I really have to thank you for this, hmm, that's it! To repay you for your words, I'll do all I can to fulfill your dream!”
Justice did not know whether he should laugh or cry. He could hear the joy and grat.i.tude in Ling Tian's words, but his last sentence made him want to go ahead and wring his neck. What fulfill my dream, it's more like you're trying to protect your little life!
”Since that's the case, then show me your full capabilities, how much you've improved! Let me see what kind of strength you have to help me achieve my dreams!” Justice coldly remarked as he brandished the sword in his hand. He was just about to charge ahead when his facial expression changed, and his body froze rigidly on the spot.
At this moment, the longsword in his hand fractured into tiny pieces and fell on the ground with clear tinkling sounds.
Justice's sword was originally cast from steel that had been reforged a thousand times and was extremely tenacious. All these years, it had remained unblemished, but facing Ling Tian's sword that was wrapped with a layer of black iron, it of course lost in terms of sharpness! If it wasn't for the density of Justice's internal energy, his sword would have long ago been sliced in half. However, to have exchanged so many blows, the old wounds of the sword earlier on had been aggravated, and it finally shattered!
”While I have no sword in hand, it is still not a difficult matter to take a life!” Justice stared at his treasured sword of many decades, strong emotions surfacing in his eyes, but he spoke to Ling Tian with a voice devoid of emotion.
Ling Tian laughed out, ”Feeling the heartbreak? A perfectly fine treasured sword, how many years has it already accompanied you?” In Ling Tian's eyes, a blazing sharp radiance could be seen. He had accurately caught the intensity of Justice's emotions in that instant, and he felt as though he had witnessed something, causing his heart to palpitate!
From the intense emotions he perceived from Justice upon seeing his broken sword, Ling Tian could acutely sense the realm Justice was currently at, and also immediately saw clearly the mysterious realm that Justice wished to obtain. You could even say that a single sentence from Ling Tian would be enough for Justice to become a Buddha on the spot, achieving enlightenment! However, Ling Tian would never say that sentence!
Justice pointed out the flaws in Ling Tian's martial arts because he was confident that no matter how much Ling Tian could improve, he was still unable to be his equal in this short time. He was full of praise for Ling Tian's innate talent and could not wait for even a second for Ling Tian to grow even stronger, at a faster pace!
However, if Ling Tian were to guide Justice in his martial arts, that would be helping to hammer the nails in his own coffin! Justice now was already someone far above him, and if he was allowed to break through further, then Ling Tian would not even have half a chance of surviving! Thus, instead of pointing out his flaws, Ling Tian might as well just use his sword to slit his throat! That was why he remained silent all this time.
”Ling Tian, you could speak for your own sword!” Justice coldly stared at him. ”So it turns out that the Smoky Thea Tower in Sky Bearing is also your subordinate, and you even have the ability to smelt the mysterious black iron! While it is your ability, but… do you think the sword in your hands can still endure your internal energy? While it is wrapped with black iron and far outstrips ordinary steel, it is in the end not fully integrated with it!”
Ling Tian replied with a cheery smile, ”However, if my sword had a spirit, I believe it would be incomparably honored to be treated as such! This is because it was able to end in mutual destruction with the Martial Head's treasured sword! Isn't this the case of being with us in spirit?”
Justice's face grew cold as he hollered, ”Then you can accompany me in spirit as well!” He flew over, just like a primordial roc spreading its wings, covering the entire sky!”
The Heavens and Earth shall be Extinguished!
At this moment, Justice finally poured forth all his true abilities! The might and power of this strike were far above that of the 'Three Extinguis.h.i.+ng Strikes of the Universe' that he had used previously. It gave off the feeling of being pressured by the surrounding mountains and tributaries! While the sun still blazed ardently in the sky, Ling Tian felt as though the entire heavens and earth had been suppressed, losing their original colors! The palms of Justice were enlarged manifolds, and rushed forwards, filling up every inch of s.p.a.ce as they compressed together. Every single palm shadow brought only one news, that of death!
The surrounding atmosphere seemed to have been held in place and Ling Tian felt as though he was being suffocated! This divine skill seemed to have directly robbed all of present creation!
Justice did indeed live up to the name of being the Martial Order Medallion owner!
Ling Tian's face turned solemn as he flicked his wrists and gathered his inner qi. With a 'kacha' sound, the sword in his hand exploded into numerous fragments and shot towards Justice's body like a thunderstorm! At the same time, his right shoulder jerked and three silver needles shot out towards Justice's chest. With the flash of a silver light, the silver needles then shot towards Justice's eyes as though the silver needles had eyes of their own!
