Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1310: Chapter 1309: Wild Spirit Slash

”Great Wilderness Hundred Battle Body!”

Facing the sweeping fiery onslaught, Gu Lei lowered his center of gravity, suddenly thrusting the black heavy sword in his hand into the ground ahead. Then he abruptly formed a seal with his hands, and a strong black airflow surged around him. The surface of his body seemed to petrify, dark and deep, protecting his flesh from the impact of the flames.

Enveloped in the black airflow, Gu Lei seemed like a war god of the wildlands, without a flaw in his entire body, impenetrable, exuding an extremely formidable wave.

”Not only is this man’s swordsmanship superb, I didn’t expect his body to be so strong as well?”

The expressions of the Lingyue Island disciples grew increasingly grave.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang...

The area of flames looked as calm as a still pond, but once it came into contact with Gu Lei, its destructive power immediately revealed itself. Gu Lei’s Great Wilderness Hundred Battle Body only held up for a brief moment before the black airflow on the surface shattered.

Puh!

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and Gu Lei, clutching the heavy sword, was sent flying back, his face pale beyond compare.

After knocking Gu Lei back with a single sword stroke, Ling Chen swung his sword again, aiming straight for Gu Lei’s vital areas.

Gu Lei was shocked; if this sword from Ling Chen hit his vitals again, he feared he wouldn’t even have the chance to unleash his killer move and would be defeated by Ling Chen!

”There’s no other choice!”

Gu Lei’s eyes darkened. Originally, he planned to find Ling Chen’s flaw before unleashing his killer move to defeat him in one strike, but it seemed this idea wasn’t going to work. He had to use his killer move ahead of time!

Taking advantage of his previous backward momentum, Gu Lei’s body accelerated in retreat. Upon reaching a certain distance, he viciously stabbed the black heavy sword into the ground, releasing a peculiar wave from the sword that penetrated the ground beneath. This strange wave enveloped and spread through the entire area for several kilometers.

Within a few kilometers range, a desolate wave spread out, and the crowd only felt the desolation coming towards them. In their vision, strange scenes appeared; trees and flowers withered, as if drained of life, devoid of life force.

Along with this withering scene, the black heavy sword in front of Gu Lei also emitted an astonishing sharpness, seemingly nourished by all the life breath within those several kilometers, making this sword strike unprecedentedly powerful!

”Is there really such bizarre martial arts in the world?”

The faces of Zhou Yi, Leng Qianshang, and others all revealed an astonished expression. To absorb the life breath of all living beings around and convert it for one’s use to enhance the power of one’s own moves was a tactic never seen before.

”Is this the hidden killer move?”

A hint of understanding appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes. From the moment they exchanged blows, he sensed that Gu Lei had reserved tactics. He also knew that the opponent was looking for an opportunity to unleash a killer move, but Ling Chen wasn’t worried. He did not immediately break Gu Lei’s killer move with a thunderous method, because he also wanted to test the power of his new sword technique.

Now he wanted to test the power of his Sky-splitting Wave against Gu Lei’s move.

”Wild Spirit Slash!”

After brewing for dozens of breaths, a cold gleam suddenly shot from Gu Lei’s eyes, and the sharpness released from the heavy sword reached a breaking point, just then swiftly swung out towards Ling Chen.

This sword was ferochiously aggressive to the extreme, like a wild horse unbridled, fiercely galloping with an incredibly swift speed, almost without a trace.

”The heavy sword can actually be this fast!”

An exclamation arose from the crowd watching the battle.

They had never seen someone wield a heavy sword with such speed, defying logic. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed what they witnessed.

”Fall for me!”

Gu Lei’s face was filled with excitement. Although this move was powerful, it carried risks, as it had a flaw requiring some preparation time. He couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t be interrupted by Ling Chen during this time, so he was constantly on high alert in case Ling Chen approached. If it came to it, he would have to unleash an incomplete sword technique, which would significantly reduce its power.

But whether due to negligence or arrogance, Ling Chen did not seize the chance to desperately interrupt his move. So now he executed a complete sword technique, which instantly filled him with great confidence!

This sword would surely defeat Ling Chen!

Clang!

The Thunder Sound Sword swung out, Ling Chen’s right hand moving as if parting the clouds, a terrifying killing intent surged from his brow, infused into the Thunder Sound Sword in his hand, a sword strike seemingly slow yet swift, the sword wind formless, shapeless, invisible, and extremely gentle.

Sky-splitting Wave!

”So fast, can’t see the trajectory at all!”

The crowd watching the battle roared inside.

Swoosh!

The two crossed paths.

Ling Chen stood on a plaza pillar, back facing Gu Lei.

Gu Lei stood on a towering tree, also with his back to Ling Chen.

”Who won?”

Zhou Yi furrowed his brows, staring intently at Ling Chen and Gu Lei, trying to discern any signs, but saw nothing.

Xia Yunxin’s brows were slightly furrowed.

Leng Qianshang, Zhou Qingqing, and other Lingyue Island disciples were holding their breath, cold sweat dripping from their backs. Ling Chen was their last line of defense, representing the entire generation of Lingyue Island disciples, their pride. If Ling Chen were to lose to Gu Lei, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to them.

Whoosh!

A gust of fierce wind swept away the deathly stillness.

”What a powerful sword technique, such a terrifying killing intent, actually made me feel the danger of death, but unfortunately, it didn’t hit me.”

A hint of lingering fear flashed across Gu Lei’s face. The moment they exchanged blows, he was filled with fear. Ling Chen’s sword was like a breeze, transforming the killing intent into a gentle wind, hidden in the void, formless and shapeless, making it impossible to know where it would land. He himself was bewildered at dodging this strike.

”Oh no, Senior Brother Ling Chen’s sword technique seems to have missed!”

A hint of paleness appeared on Zhou Qingqing’s pretty face, and the surrounding Lingyue Island disciples’ faces became extremely grim.

Psst!

The clothes in front of Ling Chen split open, revealing a sword mark on his chest, with threads of fresh blood seeping out, staining his white robe red.

”Oh no, Ling Chen is injured!”

The faces of Zhou Yi and other Lingyue Island disciples turned extremely ugly. The situation was deteriorating: Ling Chen’s sword technique had failed to hit Gu Lei, while he himself was struck by Gu Lei’s killer move, seemingly deciding the outcome between them.
