Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

”What the heck? Is this the Ten Thousand Forms True Sword?”

Chu Chaonan was dumbfounded. He could instantly tell that the sword move Ling Feng used at the last moment was indeed the Ten Thousand Forms True Sword.

However, compared to the slow-moving Ten Thousand Forms True Sword he once wielded, Ling Feng’s move was truly unexpected and shocking.

Can the Ten Thousand Forms True Sword be used like this?

Chu Chaonan wondered if he had practiced the wrong methods all these years.

In fact, swordsmanship reflects one’s personality; Ling Feng and Chu Chaonan’s characters are vastly different, so even the same sword move, when used by different people, displays completely different styles.

Chu Chaonan’s nature was frivolous, so he enjoyed teasing his opponents during a duel, making the Ten Thousand Forms True Sword stand out with its variety of basic True Form changes.

However, Ling Feng pursued efficiency with every move.

If one sword could defeat an opponent, only one sword would be used!

Ling Feng’s first move probed into Gongshu Liang’s capabilities; the second move directly subdued him with a single strike, killing him instantly.

While it was also a variation of a basic sword move, it burst out in that fleeting moment with power sufficient to crush the opponent.

Fast! Precise! Ruthless!

”This Ten Thousand Forms True Sword is really useful indeed.”

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Ling Feng’s mouth, clearly very satisfied with the practical effect of this set of swordsmanship.

”Pfft!”

Across from him, Gongshu Liang barely stood up, clutching his chest where Ling Feng’s sword blade had struck, feeling waves of pain spread throughout his body. His face was pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

”Ling Feng, you’re strong!”

Gongshu Liang’s tone was somewhat difficult, filled with deep surprise.

Originally, he believed that even if Ling Feng were formidable, it would be at best a tie with himself. Never did he expect Ling Feng to instantly kill him with a single strike.

”It’s just average.”

Ling Feng stared at Gongshu Liang, evidently with ill intent.

Gongshu Liang shrank his neck; he knew that the last guy who fought with Ling Feng, that Wei Xuantong, had even lost his vitality.

He certainly didn’t want to follow in those footsteps!

”Wait, hold on!”

Gongshu Liang felt a slight tightening in a certain part of his body, hurriedly took out a Netherworld Crystal Stone, and threw it to Ling Feng, gritting his teeth, ”You win; this crystal stone is yours!”

”Hmm, you’re quite sensible.”

Ling Feng accepted the Netherworld Crystal Stone. Since this guy was cooperative enough, there was no need to trouble a henchman.

”Hmph, don’t get too cocky. I’m not your opponent, but there will naturally be someone who will defeat you!”

Gongshu Liang clenched his fist, snarling maliciously.

”One after another, if you don’t get annoyed, I find it bothersome.”

Ling Feng called out to Gongshu Liang, saying word by word, ”Go back and tell Dongfang Chun that within three months, no, two months, I will challenge him!”

”What!”

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Liang quickly turned around, his eyes bulging, staring dumbfounded at Ling Feng, thinking he had misheard.

The henchmen brought by Gongshu Liang were also stunned, eyes wide open, faces full of incredulity.

”What did that kid just say?”

”It seemed like... he said... within two months, he would challenge Senior Brother Dongfang...”

”What the heck, hit me, am I freaking dreaming!”

Sure enough, with a ”slap,” a Martial Artist got their face swollen from a slap.

”Ouch, it’s real! Damn, that kid doesn’t even consider himself human, why doesn’t he just fly to the heavens, shoulder to shoulder with the sun!”

An exclamation went up from the crowd. Dongfang Chun, yes!

He’s the leader of the Ten Strongest!

Perhaps Ling Feng thought that because he defeated a Wei Xuantong, ninth in the Ten Strongest, he could truly stand on equal footing with Dongfang Chun?

Too naive!

”Hmph, truly arrogant.”

Gongshu Liang regained his senses, confirming he hadn’t misheard, and immediately sneered with disdain in his eyes towards Ling Feng, ”Senior Brother Dongfang’s strength is unfathomable, even if the nine others from the Ten Strongest joined forces to lay a Sword Array, they’re not his match. Though you defeated me, compared to Senior Brother Dongfang, there is no comparison, worlds apart, and you dare to challenge him? Hahaha, don’t make me laugh!”

”Whether or not it is arrogance is my affair; you only need to convey my words to Dongfang Chun.”

Ling Feng said calmly.

”I will convey it, but whether Senior Brother Dongfang will bother with you, I do not know.”

Gongshu Liang sneered.

”Have you laughed enough? If you’re done laughing, then get lost quickly. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee whether you’ll still be intact in the next second!”

Ling Feng glanced sideways at Gongshu Liang, instantly frightening him into silence, not daring to utter a peep, and he scuttled off pathetically.

If caught by Ling Feng, he’d likely end up as the second ”Eunuch Wei”!

”A bunch of vermin!”

Ling Feng gave a cold smile, gripping the Netherworld Crystal Stone in his hand, with a slight curve on his lips.

Anyway, having someone deliver the Netherworld Crystal Stone to his hand for free was pretty good; saved up a billion Contribution Points.

If such events occurred a few more times, he wouldn’t mind at all.

”Brother Ling, it seems I’ve truly underestimated your capacity to stir up trouble.”

Chu Chaonan shook his head with a smile, ”I thought I was already quite a troublemaker, but in front of you, I’m just a little brother!”

Ling Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes; why did this statement sound so awkward!

”However, the Ten Thousand Forms True Sword you used is completely different from mine. Clearly, it’s the same swordsmanship, but when it’s in your hands, the entire style changes.”

Recalling Ling Feng’s one-sword defeat of Gongshu Liang earlier, Chu Chaonan couldn’t help but marvel.

”Swordsmanship is just a technique; its actual presentation is still related to the person wielding the sword. Your swordsmanship style and mine are entirely different, so even with the same basic sword move, it naturally differs in execution.”

Ling Feng smiled faintly, ”There is no hierarchy between the two; whether it’s my swordsmanship or yours, the one that defeats the opponent is the good swordsmanship. I just prefer to pursue the efficiency of defeating the opponent with one move.”

Chu Chaonan nodded, seemingly enlightened, muttering to himself, ”Hmm, come to think of it, the old man did say something similar! Damn, how do I feel like your level has reached the old man’s level?”

”Haha...”

Ling Feng chuckled without reply. If Chu Chaonan practiced hundreds of Sword Dao like himself every day, he’d probably have similar insights.

Turning back to Xuanjian Villa, Ling Feng found an excuse to go to his room to rest.

Upon entering his small room, Ling Feng directly transported himself to the Wood Origin Realm of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, carefully placing the Netherworld Crystal Stone beside the soil planted with the Netherworld Flower.

The Netherworld Flower would absorb the Netherworld Spiritual Energy within the Netherworld Crystal Stone, and its growth speed would naturally increase significantly, while that Netherworld Fruit, he believed, would mature faster as well.

”One Netherworld Crystal Stone might not be enough. Next month, I can exchange for another Netherworld Crystal Stone.”

Because of the mess caused by those Eastern Alliance guys, he’d saved a billion Contribution Points this time, so all things considered, Ling Feng didn’t lose anything at all.
