Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1195: Chapter 1194: Rakshasa Woman

Golden Light Monk, defeated!

The surrounding crowd erupted in astonishment, raising astonishing discussions. Clearly, no one had anticipated that the once-unknown Chen Qingzhi would possess the capability to defeat the Golden Light Monk from Cloud Mud Temple!

”Impressive, the Golden Light Monk had no power to retaliate at all.”

Lin Wan’s beautiful eyes lit up; Ling Chen’s younger generation in the Witch Gate was not simple.

”This Chen Qingzhi is quite a formidable opponent.”

Whether it was Ling Qianji or Tang Wuxi, the look in their eyes as they gazed at Chen Qingzhi was tinged with wariness, as if suddenly awakened from a dream. It turned out that among the younger generation of the Witch Gate, the strongest was not Ling Chen, but this Chen Qingzhi.

”Hmph, a bunch of fools. The strength of Senior Brother Ling Chen is beyond what you can imagine.”

Chen Qingzhi shook his head with a cold smile, estimating that if he were to face Ling Chen now, he probably wouldn’t last even a single move in the latter’s hands. That was the absolute difference in strength.

And on a high platform not far away, there sat a dozen or more elderly men, each full of spirit, exuding powerful auras and eyes sharp as torches. Clearly, they were the judges for the title of Outstanding.

”This Chen Qingzhi is a sure thing; at such a young age, his spear technique is exceptional, comparable to some veteran spear saints. He surely deserves the title of Outstanding.”

An old man in gray robes was full of praise for Chen Qingzhi. He had a notable reputation in the Central Dynasty with the title ”Dominator Gun Saint.” Since he also used a spear, he naturally admired Chen Qingzhi greatly.

”Hmm, I originally thought the title of one of the Thirty-six Heroes would surely include the Golden Light Monk. I didn’t expect this Chen Qingzhi to emerge and completely outshine the Golden Light Monk. This young man, indeed, has a promising future.”

Another old man in white robes nodded. Though he was a Sword Way Saint known as the ”White Robed Swordsman,” Chen Qingzhi’s spear technique indeed gave him a refreshing feeling.

Judging talent involves many factors, with strength being the most significant, but not the only one. Other factors, like qualifications and potential, are also critically important.

A person like the Golden Light Monk, much older than Chen Qingzhi, even if his strength were on par with Chen Qingzhi, the title of Outstanding would still likely go to Chen Qingzhi.

It’s said that when determining levels of talent, other factors like character and reputation are also taken into consideration, albeit with a small percentage. As long as someone isn’t a notorious bandit or wanted criminal by the Imperial Court, these factors can basically be ignored.

In another area, Qin Yiren’s battle had also reached its climax.

Her opponent was a fiery red-dressed woman with a stunning figure, whose strength was also at the junior semi-saint level. However, as the exchanges progressed, Qin Yiren gradually fell into a disadvantage.

”Hmm?”

Ling Chen’s brow furrowed; Qin Yiren had encountered a formidable foe.

”It’s the Rakshasa Woman from the Divine Female Sect.”

Lin Wan’s expression changed drastically, clearly knowing that the so-called Rakshasa Woman opposite her had a formidable reputation.

”Rakshasa Woman?”

Ling Chen’s gaze fell on the red-dressed woman. She was stunning in appearance, wielding a long whip filled with thorns using bizarre techniques and an extremely fierce offensive. Whenever the whip struck the ground, it left a deep mark.

The Divine Female Sect is a peculiar sect where women hold authority, and men are subservient. Thus, the women emerging from this sect are incredibly powerful and ruthless.

”The Rakshasa Woman is a renowned genius in the Divine Female Sect. Her strength probably surpasses the level of an Outstanding, reaching the Heavenly Pride level.” Lin Wan said solemnly.

”Then Yiren is likely in danger.”

Chen Qingzhi said worriedly.

Pa!

Just as he finished speaking, the Rakshasa Woman’s red long whip, like a fire python, struck Qin Yiren’s body, causing her to spit blood and fly backwards.

However, after knocking Qin Yiren away, the Rakshasa Woman didn’t stop. A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and her fiery red long whip was swung at Qin Yiren again, seemingly about to strike her face.

Clang!

At this critical moment, a sudden sword qi struck the fiery red long whip, knocking its trajectory off.

Swoosh!

Chen Qingzhi had already dashed out, catching the airborne Qin Yiren.

”Hmm?”

The Rakshasa Woman, seeing her whip miss, narrowed her eyes slightly. Following the direction from which the sword qi came, her gaze landed on Ling Chen.

”I didn’t expect to find such an expert as Your Excellency among the small Witch Gate.”

The Rakshasa Woman beamed a radiant smile. Ling Chen had nullified her whip’s force with merely a sword gesture; his strength was not to be underestimated.

”The outcome is decided; why hit so hard, miss?”

Ling Chen said expressionlessly.

”Hehe, I just find her face displeasing. But since the young master doesn’t want me to strike her, I’ll let her off the hook.”

The Rakshasa Woman said with a playful smile and then returned to the camp of the Divine Female Sect.

”That despicable woman!”

Qin Yiren was furious, her chest heaving violently. If not for Ling Chen’s intervention, her face might have been ruined. She had never met this woman, yet she was so cruel; truly vicious.

”The women of the Divine Female Sect are mostly as ruthless as the Rakshasa Woman. Be careful if you encounter them in the future.”

Lin Wan advised from the side.

Subsequently, from Lingyue Island, Zhou Qingqing, Lin Wan, and others also joined the battle to compete for the Outstanding seats.

Qin Yiren’s defeat surprised Ling Chen, but given the opponent she faced was a young expert from the Divine Female Sect, her loss could only be blamed on bad luck.

However, with Zhou Qingqing and Lin Wan successively defeating their opponents and winning an Outstanding seat, Ling Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the younger generation, top-level geniuses like Liu Mengru and Sima Xiaoyao also performed excellently, securing their places among the Thirty-six Heroes.

As for Peerless Sword, there’s no need to mention that. By directly demonstrating a powerful Sword Way, no one present dared to challenge him.

”Why hasn’t this guy acted yet?”

In the Ling Family’s area, Ling Qianji coldly stared at Ling Chen, feeling somewhat impatient internally. He had waited so long without making a move, just so that when Ling Chen acted, he could also act, and in public, humiliate Ling Chen heavily.

Yet, with the number of seats dwindling, Ling Chen didn’t seem anxious at all.

”Did he give up and decide not to compete?” Ling Qianji’s gaze grew increasingly somber.

Just then, Ling Chen suddenly moved. With one swift motion, he appeared in the center of the arena. Upon witnessing such a scene, Ling Qianji’s pupils contracted sharply. Fearing someone else might snatch the opportunity, he impatiently rushed out, ”Ling Chen, I will be your opponent!”
