Chapter 442 (1/2)
Chapter 442
The instant Long Chen began to wield his saber with both hands, his aura completely changed . He was now like some fearless killing G.o.d, filled with a valiant air, someone who would charge forward despite any obstructions .
A saber came slas.h.i.+ng down . There was no technique, there was no fanciness . It was just a simple hack . But it had locked Han Tianyu down completely, making it so he could only take it head-on with his sword .
BOOM!
Han Tianyu was sent flying . It wasn’t that he wasn’t as strong, but that Long Chen’s saber had contained his full power, while he kept a portion of his power for his sheath .
“Again!”
Long Chen’s saber came slas.h.i.+ng out again . What shocked people was that somehow this second slash seemed to contain some of the power of the first slash . Now this slash made s.p.a.ce tremble intensely, as if it were unable to endure that terrifying power .
Han Tianyu was completely shocked . He had never seen such a move . It was clearly just a simple slash, but there was no way to easily block it . The only thing he could do was take it head-on .
Perhaps against an ordinary opponent, he could strike at their vitals, causing them to switch to defense . Such a method was practical, but useless against Long Chen .
All of Long Chen’s attacks were full strength attacks . He wouldn’t be able to switch to defense with this kind of attack even if he wanted to . So if Han Tianyu did attack his vitals, all that would mean was that he would die with Long Chen . That was naturally not the result he wanted .
Han Tianyu took a deep breath . Crossing his sword and sheath in front of him, his power completely erupted to block Long Chen’s attack .
The instant Long Chen’s saber arrived, Han Tianyu almost coughed up blood, and he was knocked back again .
The entire crowd was silent . Long Chen’s two attacks had been the same . It was the exact same posture, the exact same angle, the exact same arc . It was incredibly simple, something even a child could clearly see .
But it was this kind of simple attack that Han Tianyu was unable to receive . He was blown back twice, dumbfounding everyone .
Just who was Han Tianyu? He was claimed as the supermonastery’s number one expert . Even in this place where the heroes of seven prefectures had gathered, he stood at the pinnacle .
“The third attack!”
In front of everyone’s appalled gazes, Long Chen’s third slash came down, the exact same as the last two . However, the only difference was this attack contained the power of the previous two, and the saber seemed to contain a volcanic power . The s.p.a.ce around it was completely twisted .
BOOM!
Han Tianyu only managed to barely block it, and he shot out like a cannonball, plowing a mile long ditch in the ground .
For a moment, it was absolutely silent . Everyone was looking at Long Chen with shock, then looking at Han Tianyu in the distance who was leaning on his sword . None of them were able to say anything .
Long Chen rested his saber on his shoulder and icily looked at Han Tianyu, disdainfully saying, “You don’t need to pretend like that . Are you putting on a play? Or should I say, are you an actor? You’ve yet to use even half of your power; who are you putting on that act for?”
“What?!”
Guo Ran and the others were shocked . Han Tianyu was already so terrifying, but he had yet to use even half of his power?!
Hua Biluo was also completely shocked . If Han Tianyu had yet to use even half his power now, then when he had fought with her, didn’t that mean he hadn’t even used a third of his power?
“You really are an idiot through and through . First acting weak to give me some hope, then displaying your great power to make me feel despair? Han Tianyu, you really are too hypocritical,” sneered Long Chen .
“Hahahaha!” Han Tianyu suddenly laughed, shaking his head . “I really wouldn’t have thought you’d see that far . I underestimated you . ”
“There are many things you haven’t thought of . Did you ever think that you would die to my hands today?”
“Never . That’s because a person that can kill me, Han Tianyu, has not yet been born . ” Han Tianyu brushed off some dust indifferently .
“It isn’t that they haven’t been born, but that you hadn’t encountered them yet . Now that you’ve run into me, you’re destined to die . That’s because you caused the death of my brothers, and I want your head as a sacrifice to their souls . ”
“Does slandering others like this have any meaning? How many people here will believe you?” Han Tianyu shook his head disdainfully .
“That’s why I said you’re a hypocrite, the same as your sword arts . Although you managed to comprehend a bit of sword intent, you focused completely on your sword techniques, treating that sword in your hand as a tool, and not a belief, not as a companion . You are at best a dabbler sword cultivator . ”
Long Chen’s words didn’t cause much of a reaction in other people, but Yue Zifeng’s body shook . Long Chen was telling him Han Tianyu’s greatest weak point .
As a sword cultivator, the sword was their life . As for Han Tianyu, his sword techniques might be exquisite, but his sword intent wasn’t strong enough and did not possess the cold killing will that it should . No matter how profound his sword techniques were, they were lacking any substance .
