Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 575: Chapter 573 Leng Jue_1

”Shura True King Spear!”

Mo Tianya’s spear pierced through the water column. The black radiance of his spear extended rapidly, unexpectedly tripling in length in an instant, its brightly gleaming, fierce edge shooting straight out.

”Interesting.”

Leng Jue was slightly taken aback. His two Di Ming Flying Knives had already been unleashed. In theory, Mo Tianya should have been overwhelmed and completely passive, but that wasn’t the case. His opponent had executed numerous moves in the time before his two Di Ming Flying Knives could encircle him, preventing Leng Jue from seizing the initiative.

He really is the Cold-Blooded Gun God, after all, Leng Jue thought, slightly surprised. He had always considered Mo Tianya the most mediocre of the Four Outstanding Talents. However, it now seemed this man was far from mediocre.

With a flip of his palm, Leng Jue produced a short blade. He slashed it through the air, hacking at the coiling silver Giant Dragon. Leng Jue’s body then shot skyward, instantly shattering the spear’s radiance.

”Impressive! Leng Jue is no weaker than Mo Tianya. Perhaps he can really break the norm and become the first to do so in five years!”

Witnessing Leng Jue easily shatter the spear’s radiance, many spectators burst into surprised discussion. Although Long Zaiyuan had posed a great threat to Su Ziling earlier, he had exhausted all his strength and failed to gain an advantage. Now, however, the situation on the field was clearly a stalemate.

Just then, the two Di Ming Flying Knives in mid-air finally arced back, closing in on Mo Tianya from behind.

Frowning, Mo Tianya had no choice but to abandon his assault and instead swept his spear out, once again parrying the two Di Ming Flying Knives.

The Di Ming Flying Knives were made from an extraordinarily hard material. Even Mo Tianya could only deflect these daggers; he couldn’t achieve their Destruction.

Seizing the opportunity, Leng Jue shifted from defense to offense. His short blade suddenly thrust out. As it did, the blade itself shot forward, splitting into two segments connected by a cord. The bladed segment flew towards Mo Tianya with lightning speed.

”Do you think such tricks can defeat me?”

Mo Tianya shook his head. This kind of surprise attack can only be used once; its effectiveness diminishes significantly on the second attempt. Without a second thought, he thrust his spear precisely at the connection between the two blade segments, knocking them apart and foiling Leng Jue’s sudden attack.

”Is that so? Then what about this move?”

Leng Jue let out a low shout and flicked his hands again. Two twisting, winding silver rays of light shot out. They appeared slow, a visual illusion caused by their extreme speed. In that instant, even the splashes on the lake’s surface seemed to freeze.

Two more Di Ming Flying Knives.

It turned out Leng Jue could simultaneously control four flying daggers in his attack.

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

No one could describe the speed of Mo Tianya’s spear. Each sweep was utterly decisive, unaffected by external factors or trickery. The four flying daggers could not get near Mo Tianya, let alone harm him.

It could be said that Mo Tianya’s average spearing speed wasn’t top-tier, at least not comparable to Ling Chen’s sword speed. However, in an instant, his spearing speed was terrifying.

However, under Leng Jue’s control, the Di Ming Flying Knives moved faster and faster. The radiant aura of the flying daggers transformed into intersecting beams of light that shot out—eighteen in total. Mo Tianya destroyed seventeen, but the last one struck his left shoulder, sending him flying backward. He spat a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the icy surface.

”Ends of the Earth!”

Just as everyone thought Mo Tianya was about to be defeated, he forcibly halted his retreat. He stomped heavily on the lake’s surface, kicking up a massive wave. Riding its momentum, he looked down from above and suddenly unleashed a killing move. Fierce winds howled, dark currents surged violently, and the color of the Sky itself turned bleak. It felt as if one had been plunged into an ocean on the verge of a storm, filled with unending dread and trepidation.

”Not good!”

Leng Jue hadn’t expected Mo Tianya’s counterattack to be so fierce and sudden. He roared, slashing out with the short blade in his hand as a Python formed of True Qi lunged out explosively.

CRACK!

The manifested True Qi Python only blocked two streams of spear light. The third stream of spear light severed the green Python’s head and sent Leng Jue flying.

”You all want to seize the title of the Four Outstanding Talents? It’s far too early for that.” Mo Tianya stood coldly upon the churning waves, his eyes bloodshot. In his view, people like Leng Jue, or even Ling Chen, are just arrogant individuals who’ve gained a little strength and let it go to their heads. Trying to usurp our positions now and drag us down? What a joke. The legend of the Four Outstanding Talents was forged through countless glorious battles, not achieved overnight by some upstarts.

”Not necessarily!”

Leng Jue coughed up a mouthful of blood, yet a sharp glint suddenly appeared in his eyes. His hands formed a seal, then clapped together sharply. The four Di Ming Flying Knives spinning in mid-air abruptly tore through the Void. Finally, they merged, the four Di Ming Flying Knives transforming into a single long blade. Spinning rapidly, it accelerated violently and shot fiercely towards Mo Tianya’s back.

”What?”

Mo Tianya was greatly surprised. Flying daggers combining? This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a bizarre technique!

Spinning around, Mo Tianya thrust his Long Spear forward. The spearhead collided with the long blade formed from the flying daggers. A harsh, metallic screech that set one’s teeth on edge suddenly rang out.

FZZT!

Sparks flew, erupting like brilliant fireworks. Under the tremendous impact, Mo Tianya’s body shot backward like a cannonball. Beneath his feet, huge waves of water splashed to either side, parting to form a massive surge hundreds of meters high.

Seizing the opportunity, Leng Jue instantly produced eight flying daggers, holding them between his fingers. He darted violently towards Mo Tianya’s back, and the eight flying daggers shot out in a rapid, torrential stream.

Caught in a pincer attack, Mo Tianya frowned. He spun, thrusting out his left hand. A True Qi Wall successfully condensed to his left, blocking all eight flying daggers, which then fell into the water.

”Try this! Hidden Weapon Rain!”

Leng Jue gritted his teeth, his hands wildly flinging Hidden Weapons forward. It was as if he had an inexhaustible supply, dozens, even hundreds of Hidden Weapons bombarding the True Qi Wall, instantly creating a barrage of dense, percussive sounds.

SQUELCH!

The True Qi Wall couldn’t withstand such a ferocious onslaught. Each Hidden Weapon contained a thread of Leng Jue’s True Qi. Finally, the wall was pierced through. The Hidden Weapons struck Mo Tianya’s body, and blood instantly spurted out.

Heavily wounded, Mo Tianya retracted his Long Spear and rapidly retreated. He spun the Long Spear in his hands, attempting to use its high-speed rotation to block the bombardment of Hidden Weapons.

”Too naive!”

Leng Jue sneered. At his command, the long blade split apart, reforming into four Di Ming Flying Knives that shot towards Mo Tianya from four different directions!
