Chapter 987: Chapter 984: The Charm of That Sword!
Seeing Dao Luohen’s second slash coming, Li Chen no longer dodged, but fiercely slapped the blade of the Seven-star Dragon Abyss.
Only a crisp “clang” of sword resonance was heard. The Seven-star Dragon Abyss was like an awakened Divine Dragon, roaring toward the sky, spanning the vast sky.
Li Chen’s wrist flicked, and the Sword Shadow quickly dispersed, stirring up a splash of water ripples. It was like the three thousand waters of the Nine Heavens Galaxy, pouring down toward Dao Luohen.
Even Dao Luohen was amazed by the elegance of this sword!
“Boom!”
A Water Dragon and Fire Dragon, both fierce and roaring to the sky, collided in the air, producing a thunderous explosion, causing even the surrounding void to collapse instantly.
“Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!”
“Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!”
After this confrontation, the figures of Li Chen and Dao Luohen simultaneously retreated several hundred ters away.
“Good swordsmanship, indeed worthy of being a prodigy not seen for a thousand years. The mastery of this sword is not much less than that of Sect Leader Jian Chen of Heavenly Sword Mountain!”
Dao Luohen, with deep eyes, looked directly at the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in Li Chen’s hands, sincerely praising it.
“Refreshing, let’s go again. This ti, I’ll attack first!”
After Li Chen spoke, he took a big step forward, and a vortex suddenly condensed at the tip of the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, spinning rapidly.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Two Water Dragons burst out from the eye of the vortex, opening their massive maws, roaring to the sky, dispersing the clouds and shaking the void.
At the sa ti, Li Chen’s body quickly broke through the sound barrier, disappearing as if in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was stepping on the backs of the two Water Dragons, shattering rocks and stirring up rolling waves, overwhelming as they swept towards Dao Luohen.
This sword was enough to slay a Nascent Soul Great Power!
However, Dao Luohen was utterly unafraid, and his eyes, usually as calm as ancient well-water, now burned with intense fighting spirit.
Instantly, a Fire Dragon coiled around the Hei Dao in his hands, igniting into a blazing fla, setting the surrounding clouds and void ablaze with cracking sounds.
“Burning Wood God Sword!”
This slash burned the entire heaven and earth.
Everywhere in sight was a sea of orange flas, making it hard for anyone to open their eyes.
One was a deluge overwhelming Jin Shan, the other an inferno boiling the sea!
In the next mont, these two incompatible supre killing strikes collided thunderously with blinding speed.
The mountain peaks were shaken and collapsed, and boulders turned to dust on the spot, even the void twisted and tore apart, with roars and wails resounding through the skies, evoking the feeling of an impending apocalypse.
Below, the Little Demon Immortal, Lian Hongshang, and Xin Qingxue, seeing this scene, had their hearts in their throats.
The three of them held hands, each acutely feeling the sweat from the other’s palms, dripping down like large pearls falling onto a jade plate.
“Who won?”
After a long ti, Xin Qingxue asked in a trembling voice.
The Little Demon Immortal and Lian Hongshang exchanged glances, neither speaking.
After the deafening crash, ca a deathly silence.
A sudden cold wind rose, howling like a ghostly wail, sending chills through those present.
It was unclear how much ti passed before the stirring dust finally settled.
On the mountaintop, Li Chen and Dao Luohen still faced each other across the distance.
At this mont, above Li Chen’s head, an Ancient Cauldron emitting light was suspended.
The Ancient Cauldron descended a green defensive barrier, enveloping him within.
Thus, Li Chen still appeared spirited.
In contrast, Dao Luohen looked sowhat ragged.
His clothes were in tatters, with more than twenty sword wounds on his body, bleeding profusely.
However, though Dao Luohen looked terrifying, they were all superficial injuries, none threatening his Life Gate.
Dao Luohen’s pupils contracted sharply, staring intently at the Qingzhou Tripod above Li Chen, appearing greatly shocked.
“Unexpectedly, you still have the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron in your hand, I truly miscalculated!”
Li Chen cupped his hands towards Dao Luohen, saying, “I concede!”
Although Li Chen’s expression remained calm, inwardly he was also having turbulent waves.
If Li Chen hadn’t summoned the Qingzhou Tripod in ti to deflect most of the attack from the previous slash, the one defeated might not have been Dao Luohen, but himself.
Furthermore, Dao Luohen was not incapacitated, just montarily careless, sustaining so injuries, not to the point of heavy injury, and still possessed the ability to fight again, definitely not to be underestimated.
Otherwise, even with the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron in hand, Li Chen wouldn’t have much confidence in gaining any advantage against Dao Luohen.
“It’s the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron, Li Chen is fine!”
The Little Demon Immortal first let out an excited exclamation.
Xin Qingxue and Lian Hongshang’s faces were full of surprise and delight, finally relieved.
The Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron was indestructible, with this treasure, even if Li Chen couldn’t outright defeat Dao Luohen, he could at least stand invincible, ensuring his life was safe.
Upon hearing the Little Demon Immortal’s cheer, Dao Luohen instinctively turned his gaze towards it.
When he saw the Little Demon Immortal’s jubilant appearance, a comforting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
However, this smile looked quite abnormal in Li Chen’s eyes.
Moreover, Li Chen keenly noticed the complex and sowhat regretful gaze Dao Luohen directed at the Little Demon Immortal.
Li Chen cleared his throat and asked, “Sword Emperor, shall we continue?”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Dao Luohen withdrew his gaze, waved his hand, and said, “No need to, I concede!”
“Uh?”
Li Chen was surprised that the always arrogant Dao Luohen admitted defeat so straightforwardly, which really caught him off guard.
Dao Luohen, however, ignored Li Chen’s shock and pointed at the mountaintop, saying, “I have so first-class Monkey Wine here, care to share a drink?”
After a brief hesitation, Li Chen smiled slightly and said, “Sure, I’d love to!”
On the mountaintop, under the cherry blossom tree:
Li Chen and Dao Luohen, who had just been in a life-and-death struggle, were now like old friends who hadn’t t for years, enjoying the mountaintop scenery, watching the clouds drift by, and drinking rrily together.
This highly unusual scene left Lian Hongshang, Xin Qingxue, and the Little Demon Immortal looking on in bewildernt.
Xin Qingxue blinked her eyes and asked, “What are they doing, drinking?”
Lian Hongshang nodded and said, “Seems like it!”
Xin Qingxue frowned slightly and said warily, “Could it be that the Sword Emperor wants to play so trick because he can’t beat Li Chen?”
After saying this, she was about to go up the mountain.
However, she was stopped by Lian Hongshang.
“Let’s wait and see for now!”
Xin Qingxue was sowhat unwilling, but she didn’t want to go against Lian Hongshang, so she shifted her gaze to the Little Demon Immortal.
The Little Demon Immortal was currently staring in a trance at the cherry blossom tree on the mountaintop.
“That seems to be a cherry blossom tree!”
Xin Qingxue looked at the cherry blossom tree on the mountaintop for a while, blinked twice, and said, “It is a cherry blossom tree, what’s so strange about it? We have a vast Sakura Forest in Dragon Ascending Valley!”
The Little Demon Immortal pondered for a mont and said, “Cherry blossoms don’t grow in the Demon Domain, only the Demon Capital Palace has one. My father said that it was planted by my mother herself, and seed to have been transplanted from the Northern Territory, over ten thousand miles away!”
Saying this, she cupped her chin with one hand and mused to herself in confusion.
“It’s really strange, why is there a cherry blossom tree here too?”
