Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 592: Chapter 590 Blazing Meteor_1

”What an intense fight! This Emperor Sword Sect surely isn’t easy to deal with.” The sight of such a ferocious battle on the mountain peak left an Elder of the Cyan Robe Association with a solemn expression.

”Indeed. Ling Chen is aided by tremendous momentum, and yet the Emperor Sword Sect is able to keep pace with him. It’s quite remarkable.” The Elder of Law Enforcement stroked his beard. He continued, ”After Ling Chen received the title of Unbeatable Sword Sect, all the masters in the world would be suppressed by his momentum. Facing him or engaging him in combat would undoubtedly lead to suppression. Even at full strength, they could likely only utilize eighty percent. For them to still fight on par with Ling Chen is a testament to their astonishing strength.”

”Ling Chen, I’m not holding back anymore!” Landing on a tree that had been blasted in half, the Emperor Sword Sect gathered his True Qi, not intending to prolong the fight.

”Have at it!” Ling Chen beckoned with his palm.

”Emperor Dominates the World!” The Emperor Sword Sect raised his Long Sword, and the sky above the mountain range suddenly darkened. Streaks of sword qi, like stars in the night sky, surrounded them. His white hair danced in the wind as he furiously slashed his sword. All the stars shattered simultaneously. With this one sword, it was as if the Emperor Star had descended, shattering rivers and mountains.

”One Sword Burns the Sky!” As the stars shattered, a streak of scorching Sword Light rapidly extended, like a torrent of Flames, splitting the Void in half.

BOOM!

A fierce explosion caused the mountain peak to shake violently, shaving off layer after layer.

In the next moment, golden and red sword lights intertwined indistinguishably, creating countless sparks.

The Emperor Sword Sect took a deep breath, pushing his Protective True Qi to its limit and propelling himself backward. As he flew, fire sparks landed on his Protective True Qi, each impact producing a loud clanging sound. With every clang, the Emperor Sword Sect’s face grew a shade paler.

Ling Chen’s condition was similar; his face also showed signs of paleness as he retreated to the edge of a cliff, a thousand-foot-deep abyss behind him.

”Emperor Sword Sect, is this your full strength?” Ling Chen stopped, gazing tranquilly at the Emperor Sword Sect opposite him.

After a few blinks, the Emperor Sword Sect had calmed his turbulent vital energy and replied, ”We are evenly matched. I cannot defeat you, nor can you defeat me.” He had to admit that even with his power, he could not defeat Ling Chen. This shocked him. According to the information he had received, Ling Chen wasn’t this powerful during his fight with Yun Qinghong. Only a few days had passed, and his strength had already improved significantly.

”I beg to differ!” As Ling Chen spoke, he flicked his right hand, pouring a furious surge of True Qi into the Red Sky Sword. A red python materialized atop the blade. The Red Sky Sword in his hand suddenly shot out like a meteor. The Sword Light flashed, and in an instant, it appeared before the Emperor Sword Sect. To his horror, the Red Sky Sword penetrated his protective True Element, striking his Armor.

SPURT!

Blood sprayed out as the Emperor Sword Sect retreated once more, his eyes filled with fear. ”What kind of Swordsmanship is this?”

This strike astonished not only the Emperor Sword Sect but also Liu Feiyue, the Elder of Law Enforcement, and others, who all wore expressions of disbelief. They hadn’t seen clearly how Ling Chen had attacked. Even the Elder of Law Enforcement hadn’t fully perceived it at that moment. Of course, had he been watching Ling Chen intently, he might have seen it, but in that fleeting instant, he hadn’t discerned how Ling Chen made his move.

”How could it be this fast?” Slapping a hand behind him, a massive rock crumbled, and the Emperor Sword Sect used the recoil to halt his retreat, his eyes firmly locked on the charred hole in his chest.

Hearing this, Ling Chen neither affirmed nor denied. The sword technique he had just used was Blazing Meteor, the fifth form of the Red Sky Sword Art. Aided by two points of the True Essence of Fire, this strike was enough to instantly kill the Emperor Sword Sect. If he wished, he could easily take the Emperor Sword Sect’s head. If the True Essence of Fire were increased to three points, or even four points, he himself couldn’t imagine the extent of its destructive power.

”Emperor Sword Sect, do you need to continue?”

Taking a deep breath, the Emperor Sword Sect’s eyes became incredibly sharp. ”I want to see just how strong your sword technique is!” He reasoned that he had been blown away by the shockwave earlier because his reaction was slow and he was caught off guard. Now, fully focused, he believed he could block Ling Chen’s next strike. If Ling Chen attacked a second time, he would definitely avoid injury.

”Stubborn fool!” Ling Chen tapped his finger on the hilt of the Red Sky Sword. The Red Sky Sword transformed into a meteor and shot out. In a flash, it arrived to the right of the Emperor Sword Sect and ruthlessly thrust towards him.

”I see it!” The Emperor Sword Sect tracked the sword’s trajectory and slashed out with his own.

With a calm expression, Ling Chen subtly moved his hand.

CLANG!

The next moment, blazing sparks erupted from behind the Emperor Sword Sect. At the critical moment, Ling Chen had changed the trajectory of the Blazing Meteor. It was as if it had teleported to the Emperor Sword Sect’s back. His opponent had no time to turn before being hit. The highly destructive sword qi was largely weakened by his Protective True Qi and partially negated by his defensive Armor, but some sword qi still passed through the Armor into the Emperor Sword Sect’s body, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices, making him look like a Fierce Ghost.

”I told you, you can’t stop it.” In Ling Chen’s hands, the Blazing Meteor technique had reached an extremely high level of power. Furthermore, Blazing Meteor had a characteristic: its strength was enhanced by the user’s Mental Power. After all, executing the move required True Qi to control the Red Sky Sword. Stronger Mental Power meant greater control and more adept execution. This was why Ling Chen could use this move to utterly defeat the Emperor Sword Sect.

However, this move was not without flaws; it consumed an enormous amount of True Qi. With Ling Chen’s current Cultivation, unleashing it twice had already exhausted more than half of his True Qi, making continuous use impossible. Furthermore, even if the Emperor Sword Sect had seen the Red Sky Sword’s trajectory and blocked it in advance, it would have been futile. The attack power of Ling Chen’s strike was too high; it was a killing move. The Emperor Sword Sect couldn’t withstand it many times. After a few impacts, his vital energy and blood would violently churn. Even if his reactions could keep up, his body wouldn’t be able to, and he would still be defeated.

”How can you be so strong?” The Emperor Sword Sect was shocked, coughing up blood. He hadn’t expected to be so grievously wounded by Ling Chen’s sword technique, even when prepared.

”Emperor Sword Sect, you are not my opponent. Whether or not you acknowledge me as part of the Sword Sect, I am stronger than you. This is beyond doubt,” Ling Chen’s voice carried over.

Slowly straightening up, the Emperor Sword Sect suddenly seemed to have aged a decade. ”Young man, I take back what I said before. You are indeed stronger than me. The title of Unbeatable Sword Sect truly suits you. In the future, I will no longer make an issue of this. I believe that in the entire Martial World, no one can now challenge your position as the Unbeatable Sword Sect.” Ling Chen was still growing. As time passed, his status within the Sword Sect would inevitably become more secure. After their exchange, the Emperor Sword Sect clearly understood that below the Sky Apex Realm, no Great Master Level Powerhouses in the world could defeat Ling Chen.

”I accept your auspicious words.” The Red Sky Sword returned to Ling Chen’s hand and, with a SHIING, slid into its sword scabbard.

”Since this matter is resolved, I shall disturb you no longer.” The Emperor Sword Sect gave a bitter smile, flicked his sleeve, and leaped onto the white Sword Bird. He sped off along the path he had come, disappearing over the horizon in a short while.
