In the end, only when Yang Shen wielded the Emperor Spiritual Weapon with furious slashes did he manage to break through Ling Chen’s Green Lotus Sword Realm.
Even so, Yang Shen was still repelled three zhang (approximately 30 feet) by the immense force of the Sword Energy Sphere.
The corners of Ling Chen’s mouth curled up, his eyes filled with disdain.
If Yang Shen had mastered the Emperor Spirit Technique, he might have been somewhat more wary.
But this guy, without even a grasp of the Emperor Spirit Technique, seemed no different from a king in the eleventh or twelfth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm to him.
That is, if the Palace Mansion Realm had an eleventh or twelfth layer.
"Kid, I am going to kill you!"
Yang Shen’s face turned an iron blue.
He was the foremost among the young generation in the Eastern Domain, the only king!
And to be thrashed by another king?
How could he endure such humiliation?
Yang Shen’s trembling body jerked.
A surge of even stronger aura spread out.
"Holy Body Secret Technique!"
All the disciples watching the fight changed their expressions.
Just now, Yang Shen’s disadvantage was that he used the Emperor Spiritual Weapon too late and failed to use the King Spirit Technique.
However, now he utilized the Holy Body Secret Technique.
Yang Shen’s Spiritual Power climbed another level.
Reaching the middle phase of the second layer of the Palace Mansion Realm.
His Spiritual Power now surpassed that of Ling Chen.
With the added amplification from the Emperor Spiritual Weapon, even if Ling Chen had mastered Sword Intent, he would not be his match!
"Brother Yang, is this all you’ve got?"
Ling Chen let out a sneer.
Though he addressed him as Brother Yang, his tone was full of mockery, where was there a hint of respect?
"This is enough to cut you down!"
Yang Shen said with a ferocious expression.
"Heh heh, then bring it on!"
Ling Chen shook his head.
A so-called king with just this level of strength, he now regretted even making a move.
"Destructive Purple Flame!"
Yang Shen roared, and eighteen terrifying waves of Sword Qi erupted from the purple longsword, and then a flame emanating an aura of obliteration appeared.
The void around the flame began to tremble.
This was the true might of a king!
"Kid, taste the true power of a real king!"
Yang Shen led with his longsword, and the obliteration flame blasted toward Ling Chen.
"Green Lotus Sword Realm!"
Ling Chen smiled faintly.
He once again deployed the superior King Spirit Technique.
However, this time, the attack was almost identical to the previous one.
The two attacks collided like lightning in an instant.
"Kid, to underestimate me is simply asking for death!"
Yang Shen sneered coldly.
This time Ling Chen didn’t use any other methods.
With the Emperor Spiritual Weapon and Holy Body Secret Technique, Yang Shen’s attack power completely made up for the gap of Sword Intent.
Not just made up for it.
"Ah, Junior Brother Ling, after all, you are just a king!"
"Indeed! Junior Brother Ling, you are still glorious in defeat!"
"Worthy of being the one who dares to slay the Young Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect!"
Watching this scene, the spectating disciples all began to speak.
In their view, the last strike was Ling Chen’s strongest card.
Ling Chen had already exhausted his tricks.
How could he withstand the earth-shattering attack from the Emperor Spiritual Weapon?
"Young Master Ling, what are you doing?"
Shen Xing’s brows were tightly knitted, her eyes full of confusion.
She also couldn’t see what was different about this strike from the previous one.
In her senses, Ling Chen’s attack this time was simply not a match for Yang Shen.
Her gaze was locked solely on Ling Chen, ready to intercept the moment he couldn’t withstand the attack.
This kind of attack was nothing in front of her.
Even the Azure Divine Bird nearby was filled with doubt in its eyes.
The two attacks finally collided.
The moment they touched, the smile on Yang Shen’s face instantly froze.
Because he sensed that his World Power was rapidly dissipating away.
As if he had encountered something terrifying.
Yang Shen’s face was filled with disbelief.
The greatest reliance for a proud King is the World Power.
Ling Chen, a King, to actually unravel his World Power, this completely overturned his understanding!
"Impossible? What’s impossible?"
Ling Chen grinned with a smile.
With the sound of that voice falling, Ling Chen’s Sword Energy Sphere, carrying the terror of its might, once again destroyed ruthlessly, extinguishing Yang Shen’s flames!
Without the augmentation of World Power, Yang Shen’s attack instantly fell by two levels!
How could he contend with Ling Chen?
Yang Shen roared furiously, his eyes turning bloodshot. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Sword Qi burst forth from the Emperor Spiritual Weapon, slashing towards the Sword Energy Sphere.
However, all efforts were futile.
Finally, under the completely dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, the Sword Energy Sphere smashed into Yang Shen’s Emperor Spiritual Weapon held in front of him.
The vast force directly smacked the Emperor Spiritual Weapon into Yang Shen’s chest.
The Emperor Spiritual Weapon directly dropped to the ground, crashing down.
Yang Shen’s figure was sent flying hundreds of feet backward, eventually slamming into the rock wall of the cave.
Only because of the protection of the Immortal Spirit Array did he not embed into the rock wall.
Yang Shen fell from the rock wall, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"How is this possible?"
His face was full of incredulity.
His eyes were fixated on Ling Chen.
He was completely baffled as to how Ling Chen achieved this.
Ling Chen’s figure moved, then flew down.
He kicked out with one foot, and the Emperor Spiritual Weapon, turning into a stream of purple light, shot straight into the ground in front of Yang Shen.
"Brother Yang, do you now still qualify to contend with me for the Azure Divine Bird?"
Ling Chen sneered coldly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Shen remained silent.
The Azure Divine Bird, where would he even have a share in it?
"Young Master Ling, tell me, how did you do it?"
After a long while, Yang Shen finally spoke.
He wanted to know the reason for his defeat!
As soon as this question was asked, it was also what everyone else wanted to know.
The Core Disciples couldn’t understand, how the same strike could have such different powers?
And, both Yang Shen and Shen Xing were puzzled, how could Ling Chen break the World Power?
"A defeated general, you’re not worthy to know!"
Ling Chen sneered coldly.
Then, Ling Chen walked towards the distance.
"Wait until you defeat me to talk!"
Ling Chen’s voice came.
In the strike just now, Ling Chen had triggered the power within the Mystic Sword.
The Mystic Sword was incomparably mysterious.
Only the Power of Fusion between Spiritual Power and Telekinesis could activate it.
Previously, during the battle with Xia Jiu You, Xia Jiu You summoned the World Power of the Heavenly Demon with a blood sacrifice, yet it was still cleaved apart by the Mystic Sword.
What more of the mere first-layer World Power of the World Realm?
Although, Ling Chen still could not understand, what level exactly was the Mystic Sword.
But he knew, it was no ordinary weapon.
Otherwise, why would this Longsword be hidden within a low-grade King Spiritual Weapon?
The Azure Divine Bird also stared intently at Ling Chen.
Clearly, in their bout, Ling Chen had held back.
Otherwise, just with that one strike, it would’ve been enough to threaten it.
It seems, following Ling Chen would be a good choice!
The Green Lotus fluttered its blue wings and landed on Ling Chen’s shoulder.
"Young Master Ling, wait for me!"
Shen Xing hurriedly followed after.
He too wanted to know, how did Ling Chen achieve greatness?
While the others looked at each other, bewildered. They had no relationship with Ling Chen, and their strength was even less than Yang Shen’s.
Yang Shen himself was defeated in such a baffling way.
How could they dare to question Ling Chen?
