Chapter 535 - The Earth Level Deity“s Sword (2/2)

Chen Fan’s fist broke the hypersonic barrier and arrived a hundred meters away from Lin Shuming where he met the resistance of the Essence Qi.

The Essence Qi was as tough and solid as a piece of steel plate. Chen Fan started to lose his speed right away. When he was finally close to Lin Shuming, he no longer had hypersonic speed. Lin Shuming rushed forth and attacked Chen Fan with a palm. Losing his edge, Chen Fan was forced to back away and wait for another opportunity.

Looking from afar, Lin Shuming looked like a brawny brut wielding a huge battle hammer. However, all of his powerful blows had missed the target.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s fighting style resembled that of a sinewy rouge with a poisonous dagger in his hand, patiently betting his time to deliver a lethal blow.

Whoever could land the first blow would win the battle.

“Wow!”

The fantastic battle had excited the audiences. However, Chen Fan knew he should finish this show as quickly as possible.

“Time to end all of this.”

Chen Fan flew to the sky and tapped the gourd hitched around his wrist gently.

“Lin Shuming, everyone calls you a Sword Immortal, so I wonder how you would fare against my sword art?”

Lin Shuming was taken aback, and he looked up.

He saw small swords of about five centimeters long flew out of the gourd one after another. There were nine of them in total, and they formed a formation in the sky.

“Pixiu, Rosemallow, Asura, Red Skirt, White Drake, Black Tortoise, Yellow Peony, Azure Snake, Violet Clouds.”

The presence of the nine swords suddenly added a biting coldness to the air.

“These are the nine flying swords of the Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator?”

Lin Shuming narrowed his eyes, trying to mask his shock.

Meanwhile, many martial artists among the audiences gasped.

Exalted Cultivator was the last Earth Level Deity in China, and he had left many incredible legends. Among those legends, the most famous ones were those about his nine flying swords. Each flying sword had a story behind it.

“Let me test your Sword Art using these nine swords. ”

Chen Fan waved a hand.

The nine swords lined up in a row, pointing directly at Lin Shuming.

“Will do.”

Lin Shuming cracked a smile and started his sword art. Everyone watched as countless ice blades shot out from the sea. These ice blades were made out of seawater, and there were three thousand of them in total. Each ice blade was about the length of an average human. Its glinting edges were incredibly sharp and were able to slice through the toughest metal with ease.

The three thousand or so flying swords flew into the sky in unison and formed a huge sword array.

The swirling blades easily severed the curtain of rain and created an area where no rain would fall.

“This sword array was made out of seawater blades and was enhanced by the Power of Heaven and Earth. Its name is the Grand Myriad Sword Array.”

Even though Lin Shuming wielded as much power as an Earth Level Deity, to summon three thousand ice blades had taken a toll on his vitality. His breath started to become heavy, and his hair suddenly turned ashen pale.

“Go.”

Lin Shuming shouted a command as the three thousand ice blades plunged toward Chen Fan all at the same time.

The development had terrified the audiences.

Each of the three thousand ice blades could easily carve up a vehicle. The three thousand of them formed a shower of death as if a volley from three thousand Roman Scorpios.

Bang, bang, bang!

Chen Fan was unfazed by the threat. He commanded the nine swords to form a circle of light that surrounded him in the middle. The ice blades. .h.i.t the protective circle and were knocked aside.

Although these nine flying swords were not as powerful as the Sword of Essense Restoring, they were Spirit Artifacts nonetheless and were much stronger than the ice blades.

These nine blades were no less powerful than any divine powers. When used properly, their damage output could even exceed that of the Sword of Essense Restoring.

“Arise!”

Chen Fan flew to the air while surrounded by a whirlwind of sharp edges. It protected him from the incoming ice blades as he charged toward Lin Shuming. By then, it was apparent that the Grand Myriad Sword Array had no effect on Chen Fan.

The turn of the event shocked everyone.

They were convinced that Chen Fan had reached the same level of attainment as the Exalted Cultivator who lived a thousand years ago.

Chen Fan had been a mighty tribulation cultivator, and the powers of his sword arts were beyond a mortal’s imagination. Surrounded by the nine circling blades, he glided across s.p.a.ce elegantly. Not even Lin Shuming’s overwhelming Essence Qi could stop him.

However, even as the situation turned grimmer by the second, a sinister smile surfaced on Lin Shuming’s face.

Suddenly, Lin Shuming let loose the immense energy inside of his system. As the unbridled energy multiplied and struggled to break out of Lin Shuming’s body, it sent rays of intensely white lights out from Lin Shuming’s eyes, mouth, and nose, and turned Lin Shuming’s hair into a color that was as white as snow.

Despite the perilous condition he was under, Lin Shuming let out a burst of laughter.

“I have refined this art for sixty years, and finally, I got to use it on you today! Chen Beixuan, try to counter this!”

Before his words faded, a powerful Blade Qi shot up from his body and pierced the dark clouds in the sky.
