Chapter 3: Flowing Cloud Sword Technique
“Don’t!”
Sun Jiansheng’s eyes were wide open, when he realized that there was no way to resist the sword blow. No way to dodge the sword blow, a powerless feeling filled his body.
“You lose.”
With the tip of his sword against Sun Jiansheng’s throat, Jiang Chen said lightly.
“I have not lost, you have not defeated me.”
Sun Jiansheng roared, his left fist punching at Jiang Chen.
Boxing technique, Gale Fist. Biting cold wind arose from the fist. The attack’s range was enormous, but Jiang Chen saw through Sun Jiansheng’s shoulder movements. He knew about the martial arts Sun Jiansheng trained in, so he promptly stepped aside and increased the distance between them.
“Lose to me!”
Jiang Chen was forced back. With a fierce expression, Sun Jiansheng displayed the Falling Blossom sword technique.
Falling Blossom was a Yellow-level high-grade sword technique, and 2000 contribution points were needed to purchase this technique.
The sword light burst out, and the shattered fragments of sword light were just like the numerous wilted petals of a flower fluttering about. These beautiful petals had the power to ruthlessly penetrate.
However, the power of the sword technique depends upon the swordsman. That is not to say that no unrivaled sword technique exists under heaven. This unrivaled sword technique though, in Jiang Chen’s eyes, seemed to be filled with holes everywhere, though the sword light seemed to be concentrated together, in reality it was unreasonably scattered. If practiced correctly, the concentrated sword light ought to make the opponent feel as if he were trapped in an inescapable net. It should be comparable to a wide net falling down.
Sun Jiansheng’s sword blow suddenly arrived. Jiang Chen’s sword also came out. Two ferocious sword techniques, the pure simplicity of the techniques invigorated the emotions of the crowd.
Just then!
Sun Jiansheng’s hands went numb. The sword held in them went flying under the foolish stares of the surrounding crowd.
“Jiang Chen won?”
“Unexpectedly, he actually won with a sword blow?”
“The gap between them was of two levels, how can this be?”
At this moment, everyone seemed to be incredulous of this result.
In fact, if Jiang Chen spent great effort to defeat Sun Jiansheng, everyone could have accepted it. After all, originally Jiang Chen’s swordplay was extremely powerful, so in the past year there should have been some progress. They were capable of accepting that Sun Jiansheng and Jiang Chen exchanged some sword blows, but they had a feeling that the majority of 8th Qi Sea martial artists were absolutely incapable of defeating Jiang Chen. Wasn’t his skill with the sword was enough to cross over and surpa.s.s the gap between them?
“Bi Qing, Jiang Chen really won, eh.”
Liu Ling was surprised.
“Bi Qing took a deep breath, she did not expect such a result. “How did his sword technique cross over the gap? It is unfortunate that in this life, his achievements come to a halt here. His Qi Sea is broken, there is no way he can reach the Vajra realm. Not unless a superpower decides to restore his Qi Sea at least.”
“It is indeed a pity.”
Liu Ling shook her head.
The Qi Sea realm is the most vulnerable stage in cultivation. The Qi Sea can be easily broken, and once broken, it is basically impossible to have further achievements in cultivation. Not everyone can have a enormous fortuitous encounter, not everyone can change their destiny.
“Come on!”
In regard to the following business, Bi Qing did not hold much interest.
“The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but close to the dark of the night.”
For some reason, Liu Ling thought of this sentence. Turning around, she had a quick look at the talented youngster in the middle of the stage. At the moment he seemed to be shrouded in radiance, naturally the sunset was infinitely beautiful.
Without paying attention or caring about Bi Qing and Liu Ling’s departure, Jiang Chen said to Sun Jiansheng, “You can slap yourself. Remember, 10 times in front of everyone.”
“You!”
Sun Jiansheng’s chest heaved, his eyes full of anger.
“An, it seems that you are going back on your word, aren’t you?”
Jiang Chen’s face had a hint of cynicism in it.
“Enough.”
Abruptly, a deep voice sounded. The crowd followed the sound to look at the speaker.
“Outer Elder Sun Jianyue.”
“This time, Jiang Chen has ran out of luck.”
Stroking the hair on his beard, Sun Jianyue strode. “Do you two not care about the sect’s rules? Did n.o.body tell you that besides the martial arts platform, it is prohibited to fight anywhere else without special permission?”
Sun Jianyue’s arrival made Sun Jiansheng somewhat complacent. He never thought that he would be defeated, or he would not have agreed to slapping himself 10 times in the face in front of everyone. If he was forced to do this, he would certainly become a laughingstock in the sect, “Father, I accept my misconduct. I am willing to receive the sect’s penalty.”
“Knowing your mistake and reflecting on it is worthy of admiration. Even though you are my son, I cannot avoid penalizing you. As for you, Jiang Chen, you have committed serious mistakes. Firstly, you secretly fought, secondly, your att.i.tude is incorrect, outer sect disciples should strive to help each other, even if this is not possible, they should not attack each other, nor injure or humiliate each other.”
“Admit to your mistakes.”
Sun Jianyue ordered Jiang Chen, his expression ice-cold.
Sweeping the surroundings with his eyes, Jiang Chen said, “My friend can testify. I was forced to accept the challenge.”
“That’s right, Sun Jiansheng began everything. He beat me up and stomped on me.” w.a.n.g Dong promptly spoke.
