Chapter 859: Chapter 856: Co at All at Once!
“Li Chen, this is the Nine Sword Profound Technique, the unrevealed secret of my Dugu Family. Initially, I planned to use this sword move to et Jian Wuheng’s Heavenly Sword Nine Techniques. Now, I’ll use it to weigh the worth of you, the leading Loose Cultivator!”
Dugu Ming roared deeply, brandishing his sword, the Sword Shadow like a long rainbow, like a cot striking the moon, instantly pierced through the heavens and earth, slashing towards Li Chen.
“Good move!”
Li Chen, unwilling to show weakness, also shouted into the air, the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in his hand transford into a Divine Dragon, baring fangs and claws in reception.
“Clang!”
The two swords collided violently, forming the center of an explosion, with the silhouettes of Dugu Ming and Li Chen suddenly retreating back.
However, before their toes touched the ground, they almost simultaneously broke the sound barrier with their bodies, launching a fierce attack at each other.
Swords clanged, dragons roared, and tigers howled!
In just the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged over a hundred moves. Due to their extre speed, many spectators were dazzled, only able to see residual shadows and the sound of crackling tal collisions.
“Boom!”
Another fierce collision, and the silhouettes of Li Chen and Dugu Ming once again retreated explosively.
However, Dugu Ming took over a dozen steps back, his balance unstable, almost stumbling to the ground.
While Li Chen rely took two steps back symbolically, his expression unchanged, his deanor radiant.
The difference in their strengths was imdiately apparent!
“You’re not my opponent, do you still want to fight?”
Li Chen gazed at Dugu Ming, his voice firm.
Dugu Ming’s eyes were full of shock, he wanted to speak, but his mouth only twitched painfully a couple of tis, never uttering a word.
After a long while, he sighed deeply, looked sorrowful and said, “Forget it, I am not as good as you, you win!”
Li Chen cupped his hands towards him and said, “Thanks for letting win!”
Dugu Ming hesitated, saying nothing, just cupped his fists again, smiled wryly and shook his head, turning to leave.
This ti he did not use Sword Control nor did he use any True Yuan, just staggered and stumbled down the mountain, his silhouette appearing very solitary and desolate.
It seed he not only gave up on the struggle for the top position but also relinquished the entire competition on the Ascending Dragon Platform.
In truth, he still had energy now. Although he was on the downside while fighting with Li Chen earlier, his foundation was unscathed, still possessing formidable combat strength.
Even if he couldn’t compete for the top spot, he could still fight for the top ten. At the very least, he could surely secure a place in the top thirty.
But the personality of Dugu Ming was extrely aloof, since he could not obtain the crown, the second or thirtieth position, or directly losing, made no substantive difference. Whether fighting or not fighting, it was all the sa, aningless.
Looking at Dugu Ming’s solitary and desolate silhouette, many of the Heavenly Prides present could not help but feel a sense of grief over the fate of such a peer.
Now Li Chen had already consecutively defeated Jian Wuheng and Dugu Ming, two Heavenly Prides, and it seed his spirit was still undiminished.
This left all the other Heavenly Prides trendously shocked, feeling as if struck by a thunderbolt.
Moreover, due to Li Chen’s identity as a Loose Cultivator, this shock was felt doubly.
Before, Jian Wuheng pressed over their heads. These Heavenly Prides, though unconvinced, could at least accept.
After all, the Heavenly Sword Mountain was rising, with overall strength sufficient to rival the old powerhouse Penglai Pavilion. Jian Wuheng, as the Direct Disciple of the Sect Leader, very likely to be the next Helmsman of Heavenly Sword Mountain. Losing to him naturally wasn’t too unjust.
But Li Chen was different, he was only a rootless, foundationless Loose Cultivator. No guidance from a renowned teacher, nor endless resources from a sect to rely on, what made him more formidable than these Heavenly Prides?
Li Chen seed to see through the thoughts of these Heavenly Prides, coldly laughed and shouted, “Anyone unconvinced, feel free to step up and battle!”
The Heavenly Prides exchanged glances, although discontented, none dared to advance rashly.
After all, the precedent set by Jian Wuheng and Dugu Ming was very much in front of them. Once defeated, there was a high chance of exiting, which went against their basic interests.
Li Chen, seeing them hesitate and unwilling to concede, shrugged and coldly shouted:
“Seems like all of you are very dissatisfied. Since that’s the case, then co up together, I’ll deal with you all at once. Save you from sending one after another like the rescue mission in a fairy tale, wasting my ti!”
“Wow!”
As soon as he said this, the entire venue was in an uproar.
Even those seasoned tycoons and big shots on the high stands almost had their eyeballs pop out in shock at this mont.
Be aware, just the elite Disciples from the Heavenly Sects and Four Great Super Families were no less than twenty.
Let alone Li Chen, a Loose Cultivator not yet at the Golden Core Stage, even any of them present would find it trendously tricky to face off against such a multitude of elite talents simultaneously.
What does it an to be arrogant?
This is surely arrogance!
Absolutely dazzlingly aweso, arrogantly without peers!
In normal tis, these elites, self-proclaid Heaven’s Chosen Son and Holy Daughter, naturally wouldn’t accept such a challenge from Li Chen bordering on humiliation.
Yet now, with Jian Wuheng and Dugu Ming successively defeated, when it cos to single combats, no one present would be a match for Li Chen.
Only by joining forces could there be any hope of victory.
Furthermore, for hundreds of years, the top position in the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition, and even the top ten, had always been dominated by the Ten Great Heavenly Sects and the Four Great Super Families. Even the cultivating geniuses of the Earth-level sects could only hover around the top thirty, taking a backseat.
But now, a Loose Cultivator actually aid to win the top spot, henceforth suppressing them. How could those usually conceited Heavenly Prides and Holy Daughters possibly accept?
They observed each other, none spoke, silently accepting Li Chen’s challenge.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ling Shuanghua’s beautiful eyes widened abruptly, her face full of incredulous astonishnt.
She pointed her delicate jade finger at Li Chen, asking Lian Hongshang beside her, “Hey, do you think he’s gone mad?”
At this mont, even Lian Hongshang was uncertain. If it were just single combat, she naturally wouldn’t be concerned for Li Chen. But now challenging over twenty of the cultivation realm’s Heaven’s Chosen Sons and Holy Daughters at once was simply madness.
Let alone Ling Shuanghua, even Lian Hongshang, who was with Li Chen day and night, also felt Li Chen was acting crazily. However, based on her understanding of Li Chen, he would surely not do sothing so foolish.
“Hey, I’m asking you!”
Ling Shuanghua, seeing Lian Hongshang ignoring her, beca a bit anxious in her tone.
Lian Hongshang examined Ling Shuanghua carefully, with a teasing smile, she joked, “Why, from your tone, are you very concerned about him?”
“No way, I wish he would just die now!”
Before Lian Hongshang could finish her sentence, Ling Shuanghua hurriedly denied it. But although she said so, her gaze was evasive, not daring to et Lian Hongshang’s eyes, clearly feeling a bit guilty.
