Ling Chen laughed, "If you had attacked me before entering the treasure land, you might have had a chance. But now, you trying to kill me is nothing short of a fool’s dream!"
"What a joke, with just you, an eight-star sovereign?"
He’s a mid-ten-star sovereign.
Just the gap of two levels of World Power is something Ling Chen cannot bridge.
"Hmph, what arrogance. An insignificant eight-star sovereign dares to speak so boldly?"
"Exactly, do you really think a few victories above your level allow you to be so presumptuous in front of Mr. Chen?"
"If it weren’t for Mr. Chen’s respect for talent, I could kill this brat with one strike!"
Qin Shuo and others were full of disdain.
Ling Chen was not at all annoyed.
He did not wish to argue with words, but to use actual actions to shut these people up.
Not just shut them up.
Make them close their eyes in death!
Ling Chen’s right hand formed a grasping motion, and a black longsword materialized.
It was the Mystic Sword.
Having devoured five Emperor Spirit Weapons, the Mystic Sword had evolved to rival a high-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
"Is this the sword that Lord Xiao mentioned?"
Chen Guan’s eyes suddenly shrunk.
Before the opening of the Heavenly Talent List, Guest Elder Lord Xiao Qian of the State Governor Mansion had personally visited the Heavenly Capital.
He had asked for help to retrieve this sword.
The aura of this sword was completely different from an Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
Only then did he recognize it.
Seeing Chen Guan’s changing expression, Ling Chen was also somewhat surprised.
Could it be that this person recognizes the Mystic Sword?
"Young Master Ling, make your move! Let me see what you rely on to claim you have a full ten levels of certainty!"
Chen Guan’s complexion returned to normal, his expression suddenly becoming fierce.
Though he was a ten-star sovereign, he dared not be careless against Ling Chen.
Anyone capable of becoming a talent at such a young age had considerable abilities.
Battle intent erupted in Ling Chen’s eyes.
He had never faced a ten-star sovereign.
"Green Lotus Dragon Transformation!"
Ling Chen shouted, and green-red Green Lotus Sword Qi surged toward the Mystic Sword.
Two hundred and eighty-eight strands of Sword Qi coalesced in the sky into a giant green-red dragon tens of feet long.
Right from the start, he used a high-grade Emperor Spirit Technique.
And utilized the Green Lotus Bloodline.
Moreover, the green-red giant dragon was enhanced by his mastery-level Sword Dao and the mysterious energy within the Mystic Sword.
The green-red giant dragon shot toward Chen Guan.
"Goodness, the Sword Dao has reached mastery level!"
Chen Guan’s face changed.
Mastery-level Sword Dao was something he had just comprehended.
Qin Shuo and Wu Xuan, both ten-star sovereigns, were still at the initial comprehension stage.
Yet Ling Chen, an eight-star sovereign, had grasped Sword Dao to such an extent, it was terrifying!
"Demonic Eye Silver Tiger!"
Chen Guan promptly activated his Spiritual Power, similarly unleashing a high-grade Emperor Spirit Technique. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel✶fire.net
An imposing silver tiger took shape.
It, too, carried mastery-level Sword Dao.
Furthermore, he employed ten levels of World Power.
Soon, a dragon and a tiger collided in mid-air.
Roaring dragon and tiger cries, powerful enough to shake the land, resonated continuously.
Two peerless beasts clashed fiercely.
After three breaths, both dragon and tiger dissipated.
"How is this possible?!"
Chen Guan was full of disbelief.
In that strike, he had used ten levels of World Power.
The gap of two levels of World Power was not something Ling Chen could bridge.
Qin Shuo and the others were dumbfounded.
Their eyes were filled with incredulity.
That Ling Chen, an eight-star sovereign, could contend with Chen Guan without losing ground.
It completely overturned their understanding.
Originally, they thought Ling Chen was bound to lose!
"Is this the strength of a ten-star sovereign?"
Ling Chen shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with disdain, "Mr. Chen, you as a ten-star sovereign, seems to be just so-so. Could you be a fake?"
The Green Lotus Bloodline bridged one level of the gap.
The Mystic Sword’s mysterious energy bridged another level of the gap.
The two levels of World Power gap were thus easily erased by Ling Chen.
Moreover, the Green Lotus Dragon Transformation was innately slightly stronger than other high-grade Emperor Spirit Techniques.
Plus the Mystic Sword’s enhancement.
Having devoured five Emperor Spirit Weapons, if its power were still not equivalent to a high-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon, those Emperor Spirit Weapons would be too weak.
Therefore, Ling Chen achieving such a result was not out of his expectations.
Chen Guan’s expression instantly became extremely gloomy.
He stared intently at Ling Chen, coldly saying, "Good, good, good! Young Master Ling, you indeed make me reevaluate you. But now, this should be your true strength, right? Then let’s see how you handle this strike of mine?"
Chen Guan once more executed the high-grade Emperor Spirit Technique Demonic Eye Silver Tiger.
This time, the power was even more amazing.
Last time, he did not use the true Spiritual Power of a ten-star sovereign.
But this time, Chen Guan even activated the Holy Body Secret Technique.
His Spiritual Power instantly increased by a tier.
"A dignified ten-star sovereign, weak as you are, you should just die like a dog!"
Ling Chen’s body shook, and the aura of a nine-star sovereign burst forth.
"Green Lotus Dragon Transformation!"
Green-red Sword Qi shot out from the Mystic Sword in Ling Chen’s hand, once more forming a green-red giant dragon.
"What, a nine-star sovereign?"
Chen Guan’s face changed dramatically.
Before, Ling Chen had matched him with the power of an eight-star sovereign.
And now wielding the power of a nine-star sovereign.
His level of Spiritual Power was insignificant before a realm higher World Power.
"Nine-star sovereign?"
Qin Shuo and others’ faces turned pale.
At this moment, Chen Guan shouted.
He retreated violently.
He could not withstand this strike.
Only by joining forces with Qin Shuo and Wu Xuan, both ten-star sovereigns, could they catch it.
Qin Shuo and Wu Xuan immediately flew over.
They each executed a high-grade Emperor Spirit Technique.
Forming a golden lion and a black giant ape.
The green-red giant dragon tore apart Chen Guan’s silver tiger before battling the golden lion and black giant ape.
Although the green-red giant dragon shredded all three beasts.
Its power was also spent completely.
Seeing Ling Chen’s attack negated, Chen Guan heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, Qin Shuo and Wu Xuan also reached Chen Guan’s side, one on each side.
The three of them looked towards Ling Chen opposite them with amazement.
Who would’ve thought a single Ling Chen would leave them in such a miserable state.
Only through their joint effort could they barely withstand that attack.
The other two nine-star sovereigns no longer dared to act as interceptors and hurriedly flew toward Chen Guan.
Then, looking at Chen Guan, he said, "Weren’t you going to kill me? Why don’t you make a move now?"
Chen Guan could only smile bitterly.
Called trash by Ling Chen, they had no grounds for retort.
"Young Master Ling, we can’t kill you, and you can’t kill us. How about we just cease fighting?"
Ling Chen said coldly, "You thought it would be easy; attack me, and I should just let you go. Keep dreaming!"
Today, no matter what, he would slay these five.
Even if it cost him the Green Lotus Essence Blood, nothing would stop him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Guan said, "Young Master Ling, taking a step back is the best choice for both sides. You can’t do anything to us. Even if we fight, it will only end in a stalemate, so why bother?"
"Who said I can’t do anything to you?"
Suddenly, a voice came from afar, "Today, all of you will die!"
