Back then, he made a mistake and was exiled from the inner clan.
Without the cultivation resources of the inner clan, ascending to the Emperor Realm was exceedingly difficult for him.
Only by seeking the Mystic Sword could he compensate.
Decades ago, he sensed the aura of the Mystic Sword.
That is why he made a move against Emperor Yan, Li Youyan.
However, he did not find it.
Even after killing Li Youyan, he failed to acquire it.
Later, he learned from his adopted son that the Mystic Sword was in Ling Chen’s possession.
So he sent people to retrieve it.
Who knew, whether they were sent or invited, all attempts failed.
Furthermore, Ling Chen was a genius participating in the Heavenly Pride Rankings.
He was even connected to Lord Governor.
He was even more powerless to take action.
"Looks like I’ll have to take action personally!"
Xiao Qian thought to himself.
If he succeeds, he will swiftly leave Qing Province.
Even Mu Qing would be helpless.
Though he is not an Emperor Realm expert, he hails from the Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan.
Appearing to be late-stage World Realm eighth level on the surface!
His true strength has long surpassed that.
A strength beyond ordinary emperors!
Though unable to contend with an Emperor Realm expert, Mu Qing may still not be able to stop him with his means.
Currently, it is just right to observe Ling Chen’s true strength.
It also facilitates future action.
Ultimate Battlefield.
Seeing Ling Chen retrieve his weapon, Jiang Lan, dared not be careless and also drew an upper-tier Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
"Young Master Ling, let me experience your strength!"
Battle intent surged in Jiang Lan’s eyes, and he fixed his gaze on Ling Chen.
Ling Chen nodded lightly.
The other three cultivators did not have any intention of acting.
They only blocked Ling Chen’s retreat.
Seeing Ling Chen’s calm demeanor, all the geniuses widened their eyes, staring at the two in the air.
Inside the State Governor Mansion, Mu Qing and the Qing Province leaders were also curiously watching the two on the screen.
A nine-star emperor facing an eleven-star emperor.
They were puzzled about where Ling Chen got his courage!
The key was that Ling Chen was still so calm.
As if facing opponents of the same level.
Moreover, both were genius-level talents.
At this moment, whether at Cloud Mist Peak or the State Governor Mansion, nearly everyone’s attention was focused on Ling Chen.
"Green Lotus Dragon Transformation!"
Ling Chen shouted, and two hundred eighty-eight strands of green-red sword qi burst out of the Mystic Sword, then crazily condensed, transforming into a green-red giant dragon tens of feet long.
As the green-red sword qi passed through the Mystic Sword, it simultaneously carried the mysterious energy of the Mystic Sword.
Ling Chen also empowered it with his insight into the advanced Sword Dao.
The green-red giant dragon let out a long howl that shook all directions.
With a flick of Ling Chen’s longsword, the green-red giant dragon immediately charged at Jiang Lan.
Perceiving Ling Chen’s sword qi, a hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Lan’s eyes.
In his perception, Ling Chen’s attack indeed reached the level of an eleven-star emperor.
But compared to an eleven-star peak emperor, there was still a considerable gap.
Even an eleven-star mid-stage expert could probably block it.
He couldn’t understand how Qin Jian could die at Ling Chen’s hands?
Inside the State Governor Mansion.
Mu Qing simulated the aura of the green-red giant dragon.
"I’m afraid this attack can’t deal with Jiang Lan, right?"
"Indeed! Though powerful, there’s still a gap with an eleven-star peak emperor!"
"If this attack is Ling Chen’s limit, then Ling Chen is bound to lose!"
The Qing Province leaders were discussing it fervently.
Even Mu Qing was full of doubts.
"Thunder Dragon Destroying the World!"
Jiang Lan shouted, and countless silver sword qi burst out like a cloud.
Then rapidly condensed.
A silver giant dragon tens of feet long coalesced.
Silver arcs of electricity flickered across the silver dragon’s body.
As if this dragon was formed by thunder, like a thunder dragon.
Of course, it was not real thunder.
Only simulated using spiritual power.
With a vast difference from real thunder’s power.
After all, even Emperor Realm experts dare not face Thunder Power!
With a flick of Jiang Lan’s longsword, the silver dragon rushed to attack the green-red dragon.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The two giant dragons clashed, generating stunning shock waves with earth-shattering roars.
"How is this possible?"
Looking at the nearly evenly matched dragons, Jiang Lan’s face was filled with disbelief.
He was an eleven-star peak emperor.
Ling Chen was just a mid-stage nine-star emperor.
The difference in World Power between them was two levels alone.
Moreover, there was a two-level difference in spiritual power.
Enough to equal one level of World Power.
In other words, the real strength gap between them was three levels of World Power.
How could Ling Chen’s attack be comparable to his?
Inside the State Governor Mansion.
Mu Qing and the Qing Province leaders fixed their gaze on the two dragons as they clashed.
Everyone’s eyes were flashing with incredulity.
They did not expect Ling Chen’s attack to be so formidable.
It could indeed contend with an eleven-star peak emperor’s ultimate strike!
The two dragons turned into countless spiritual energy light dots, dissipating into the world.
Mu Qing and the Qing Province leaders were stunned.
Ling Chen actually withstood the blow from an eleven-star peak emperor!
Mu Qing closed his eyes.
The scene of the two dragons clashing played again in his mind.
As the master of the Void Realm, he could naturally review the scene multiple times.
Soon, Mu Qing noticed something unusual.
During the clash, the green-red dragon contained a mystical energy capable of neutralizing World Power.
Thanks to this mystical energy, Ling Chen’s attack, although initially seeming inferior to Jiang Lan’s.
Yet, the final outcome was evenly matched.
Jiang Lan’s face was full of disbelief.
His attack’s power was clearly superior, how could the outcome be ?
The geniuses at Cloud Mist Peak were also stunned.
Their faces were full of disbelief.
The mere nine-star emperor Ling Chen really withstood Jiang Lan’s attack?
This was too shocking!
"Haha, seeing with your own eyes yet claiming it’s impossible, are you Eight Great Families sore losers?"
Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze.
Gongye Liangcai’s trio showed bitter expressions.
They had seen Ling Chen’s attacks before.
But couldn’t accurately gauge his strength.
However, now, Ling Chen’s confrontation with Jiang Lan verified their thoughts.
Ling Chen truly matched a peak eleven-star emperor!
And Ling Chen was only a nine-star emperor right now!
Once his cultivation improves, he might be invincible below the Emperor Realm!
"Young Master Ling, I haven’t lost!"
At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn. Dıscover more novels at novel✶fire.net
Since he hadn’t lost, where was the notion of losing?
"Then I’ll make you lose wholeheartedly!"
Upon hearing this, silence fell.
Everyone felt a chill.
Such a powerful strike wasn’t even Ling Chen’s ultimate technique?
Mu Qing and the Qing Province leaders were also stunned.
"Then I’ll have to see that for myself!"
Jiang Lan fixed his eyes on Ling Chen.
Could Ling Chen have reached Mu Qing’s level?
