Chapter 444 (1/2)
Chapter 444
Long Chen and Han Tianyu collided with unprecedented power and then both withdrew a hundred meters, looking at each other . Long Chen rested his blood-colored saber on his shoulder, icily saying:
“I’ve already said your improved Sword Dao is just trash . Your offense can no longer reach its peak, while your defense is just half-a.s.sed .
“The Sword Dao is something that has existed for millions of years, and sword cultivators always stood at the peak of cultivators . Did you think using your little smarts to change it would create a new Dao?
“It’s not that I want to look down on you, but I really look down on you . Someone who merely likes to play schemes behind people’s backs cannot have any accomplishments . ”
All the experts watching were shocked . Although their fight had been very chaotic, the stronger ones had seen it all very clearly .
Long Chen had repeatedly used the same few attacks over and over, but just those moves caused Han Tianyu to be fl.u.s.tered . No matter what technique he tried, he was never able to reverse his disadvantage .
They had no choice but to doubt his self-created Sword Dao .
Sword cultivators were claimed as the strongest attackers, but defense was their fatal weak point . Countless sword cultivators had hoped to make up for that deficiency, but none had succeeded . Of course, there were many people who had thought of using the sheath as a s.h.i.+eld before . However, its effect had always been lacking .
As for Han Tianyu, he really was a genius . He had spent endless effort and time on comprehending things others would never have imagined, giving his sheath an absorptive effect and other intricacies that raised its defensive power to the limit . That had shocked everyone and toppled their understanding .
But although Han Tianyu had reached that point, Long Chen was still able to point out that his innovative technique was just trash . And their battle just now proved that he was right .
Long Chen’s tempest of attacks had just been repeats of a few attacks without any technique to speak of . It was simply that each of his attacks did not leave any leeway . Although each of his attacks was clearly full of openings, he had forced Han Tianyu to miserably retreat over and over .
Han Tianyu could easily see those openings . With a random blow, he could kill Long Chen .
But the instant he killed Long Chen, he would definitely die to Long Chen as well . Furthermore, each of Long Chen’s attacks contained his full power and there was no way he could switch to defense, so it was not bait . This was basically a scoundrel move, forcing Han Tianyu to die with him . But how could Han Tianyu agree to die with Long Chen?
“Shameless technique . ” Han Tianyu was trembling with rage . Long Chen was just a scoundrel, making it so his exquisite techniques were unable to release their full power .
With his cultivation base, it was rare for things to rattle his Dao-heart . And yet, now Long Chen had truly given an impact to him .
Previously, Long Chen had used a single move to force him to retreat three times . At that time, he had already lost that exchange .
Then after erupting with his ten-temper power, Long Chen was still able completely suppress him based on just the same moves . That was another loss .
That was something he was unable to accept . The reason Han Tianyu dared to ignore the Corrupt experts and still first focus on Long Chen before the Righteous and Corrupt battle was because he had absolute confidence in himself, and absolute confidence he would suppress Yin Luo .
Han Tianyu treated this immense Righteous and Corrupt battle as a stage for him to release his glory and brilliance . As for Long Chen, he was just the opening show before that glorious battle .
But Long Chen obstinately said his sword arts were garbage, and after their two exchanges, Han Tianyu saw that quite a few people’s expressions had changed .
That filled him with fury . However, he couldn’t show that anger . If he expressed his anger, that was accepting that his self-created Sword Dao was flawed .
“Hmph, all you have is a strong tongue . A despicable traitor that slaughters members of the same path wants to discuss the Sword Dao? What a joke,” sneered Han Tianyu .
“Hahaha, I was already looking down on you, but now I look down on you even more . When your own self-created garbage is exposed by others, you have to go attack that person . You, Han Tianyu, really only have this kind of morality . Sometimes I truly pity you . Doesn’t wearing a hypocritical mask all day get tiring?” laughed Long Chen .
When would Han Tianyu have ever been humiliated like this? He was high and above all others . Furthermore, this was done in front of all the Righteous and Corrupt experts . His killing intent soared furiously .
He snorted, “Even if you have a glib tongue, you can’t change the fact that you are a fiend and you can’t wash away your sins . This is just your deathbed struggle to conceal your fear . Now I will use the Righteous path’s name to end your traitor life . ”
Han Tianyu raised his sword, slas.h.i.+ng it at Long Chen . Long Chen sneered, “What, you don’t dare let me respond? Are you afraid if I talk, I’ll continue slowly exposing how much of a hypocrite you are? Now I really am looking down on you even more . ”
“Go to h.e.l.l!” Han Tianyu roared . His body suddenly became covered in a white mist, and a terrifying pressure shot out . Everyone’s hearts shook, feeling as if a mountain had fallen on their hearts . They were unable to even breath .
BOOM!
Long Chen was caught off guard by Han Tianyu’s explosive power, and he was blown back .
His stomach jolted, and his organs felt like they were moving inside him . He coughed out a mouthful of blood .
“What?!” Guo Ran and the others were startled . This reversal was too sudden . Previously they had been evenly matched, but now Long Chen was sent flying with a single blow, even suffering an injury .
People looked at Han Tianyu . When they saw his face, they all jumped in shock .
Han Tianyu’s originally handsome face now had nine lines across it, appearing extremely bizarre . Now, his face was no longer handsome, but twisted like a sinister ghoul .
