Chapter 183 (1/2)
Although the Immortal’s Sword was not a Legendary Weapon of ancient times, it was formed by a late Core Forming Realm expert. Its power was palpable. Xiao Chen held his breath and held his sword in front of his chest. He heard Ling Jingshan shouting at him, “Go!” The Immortal’s Sword immediately turned into 13 rows of dazzling light and moved to him one after another.
Being aware of the ferocity of the swords, Xiao Chen did not dare to underestimate them. He thrust his sword madly and brought Mystic Cyan Swordplay to its extreme. Although it had blocked 13 waves of attacks, his hand was shocked numb, and his arms trembled faintly. The crowd outside exclaimed. A Foundation Building Realm cultivator was able to withstand 13 blows from a late Core Forming Realm expert. This was beyond their knowledge.
Ling Jingshan’s eyes narrowed, and he thought that this boy was not simple. Just now, the 13 swords were a part of Ling Family’s superior sword technique, and he had infused his powerful cultivation into them. This boy actually took them. No wonder Ling Yingfeng was killed in his hand. Considering this, he rushed over to attack with the Immortal’s Sword in his hand.
The massive power from a Core Forming Realm cultivator was overwhelming. The wind suddenly roared on the square, and many sword shadows appeared. Each sword thrust at Xiao Chen’s weak point. Xiao Chen played Immortal-override Steps, and his body move was like a ghost and unpredictable. He skillfully avoided the incoming sword qi again and again. He snorted inwardly. He was never afraid to fight someone with swords. He now played the 33-Fold Green Flute Swordplay Ling Yin taught him.
The sword moved as the wind whistled like gently playing a jade flute. The sword shadows were soft like a fairy’s dance. This was the view from the crowd outside the square. However, what Ling Jingshan saw was multiple killer moves.
Although with Xiao Chen’s current cultivation, he could only play the Green Flute Swordplay at the level of 12-fold, it was enough to force his opponent to retreat step by step. If he really practiced it to the level of more than 30-fold, he could even behead an immortal.
The sword qi moved all over the sky and instantly enveloped Ling Jingshan, leaving him nowhere to avoid. At the moment, cold sweat was all over his back, and he took each step carefully because he would be cut by the sword qi with a minor mistake. He was horrified. He had never expected that Xiao Chen had such an exquisite swordplay.
Although the Ling Family was not good at swordsmanship, their swordsmanship had been refined and improved by generations of family masters. It has been passed down to this day and was able to compare with those of Jade Qing Sect, Skygale Sect, and others. However, it turned out his swordplay was just like a child’s play in front of Xiao Chen.
“Clash!” All of a sudden, Ling Jingshan’s sword was sent flying due to his negligence. A loud exclamation was heard outside the square. Xiao Chen actually knocked off the sword in a Core Forming Realm senior’s hand. Along with dozens of young men and women, they couldn’t help being amazed. Their Xianyong Sect didn’t have such an exquisite swordplay.
Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He could not let such a good opportunity go. He ran the True Energy of his body and thrust at Ling Jingshan’s throat. Although he knew that even if his sword pierced this man’s throat, a Core Forming Realm cultivator would not be killed like this. However, his killing intent was raised, and nothing could stop him!
Just when the tip of the sword was less than an inch away from Ling Jingshan’s throat, Ling Jingshan suddenly felt the cold murderous intent and promptly responded to it by moving back, and then he landed more than 30 meters away. He said maliciously, “You wanted to kill me?”
This blow had failed, and there was no point to follow. Xiao Chen knew the best chance to kill had gone, so he swung his sword and said coldly, “Humph. Only you can kill me? I can’t kill you?”
At the moment, Murong Xian’er had already turned pale. Just now, Xiao Chen seemed to be at ease, but only she knew the danger in it. Only one careless move would lead Xiao Chen to death. She murmured, “Brother Xiao Chen, come back, don’t fight anymore. I don’t want to lose Brother Xiao Chen…”
Xiao Chen turned his head and saw her tearful eyes. He couldn’t help but feel a pain in his heart. He didn’t want to fight. He didn’t want Xian’er to worry. But how could the old man let himself go today?
If he killed this old man today, the Ling Family would surely not let him go and would send more people to kill him, not to mention that he could not slay the old man today. It would not end well to attack or retreat, and this was so difficult!
If he now had the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation in those days, and if his master was still there, would these people dare to offend him again and again?
The onlookers nearby also knew more or less what had happened. It was not because the young man wanted to make a name for himself, but because his younger sister had been beaten for no reason. Now he had no desire to fight, while the old man seemed to have been trying hard to take the young man’s life.
