Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1182: Chapter 1181: Spear Technique Breakthrough

Seeing this scene, all the young talents of Witch Gate became solemn because they knew that Qin Yiren wasn’t holding back in the slightest!

If it were a regular Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm expert, their body would likely have been cut into three pieces by now!

Yet, in front of Qin Yiren, Ling Chen showed no trace of panic on his face. In fact, he didn’t even unsheathe his sword. He simply turned his body sideways, lifted the sword scabbard forward, and blocked it in front of him with his left hand.

Clang!

The pair of green short blades slashed against the Red Sky Sword’s scabbard, bursting forth with a dazzling display of sparks. However, Ling Chen stood steadfastly like a rock, showing no signs of wavering under Qin Yiren’s fierce assault.

"Huh? Quite capable?"

Qin Yiren was secretly shocked but immediately changed her tactics, accelerating her speed to the extreme, her whole person seemed to transform into a whirlwind. The pair of poison blades struck at Ling Chen at a high frequency, elusive and unpredictable.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

Despite Qin Yiren’s rapid attack speed, Ling Chen’s every block could deftly follow her rhythm. Ling Chen’s sword scabbard could always parry Qin Yiren’s poison blades, ensuring he wouldn’t be harmed.

"How is this possible?"

Qin Yiren couldn’t believe her eyes. With her junior semi-saint strength, she couldn’t do anything against Ling Chen, a mere Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm fellow. He played cat-and-mouse with her, completely neutralizing her attacks without even drawing his sword.

Qin Yiren was provoked into a true fire, realizing that in Ling Chen’s eyes, her attacks had never posed any threat.

"Damn, Snake Strike!"

Suddenly shouting sharply, Qin Yiren’s pair of green poison blades merged together. It was as if two poisonous snakes came to life on the blades, and then blended into one, launching a serpent-shaped blade light towards Ling Chen.

"Not a bad move, but not the best timing to execute it. Otherwise, even an outstanding level opponent would pose a considerable threat."

While retreating, Ling Chen spoke, and as the words left his mouth, the Red Sky Sword suddenly unsheathed, and with a sudden slash amidst stunned gazes, he cleaved the serpent-shaped blade light into two.

With the attack dismantled, a sharp sword tip pointed at Qin Yiren’s throat.

"How could this be..."

Qin Yiren remained in place, her charming face showing incredulous disbelief, clearly suffering a major blow to her confidence.

"Don’t feel too discouraged because my power was slightly out of control, and the strength I exhibited might exceed even the level of the outstanding tier."

Ling Chen withdrew the Red Sky Sword, his expression unchanged, and continued, "Moreover, Qin Yiren’s strength is indeed some way from the outstanding tier. However, if she can refine her martial arts control, this gap can be bridged."

"He speaks so lightly; could he truly possess strength beyond the outstanding level?"

Chen Qingzhi’s gaze was filled with uncertainty.

At this moment, Ling Chen suddenly looked at him and said, "Chen Qingzhi, you come and try as well."

"Me?"

Chen Qingzhi felt a headache. Although Qin Yiren’s strength wasn’t much less than his, he had just seen how Qin Yiren appeared like a naive child before Ling Chen. Was it possible he could defeat Ling Chen?

But Ling Chen had called him out by name, and in front of so many Witch Gate young talents, he couldn’t just back down.

"In this Nine-Stream Conference, you are the disciple most likely to earn the outstanding title. Use all your strength to attack me; let me see if you truly have this level."

Ling Chen said nonchalantly.

Listening to Ling Chen, Chen Qingzhi’s face darkened slightly. Ling Chen’s tone didn’t sit well with him. Even though he felt inferior to Ling Chen, the gap shouldn’t be large. But Ling Chen’s tone made it seem like he was being taught by a teacher, which he found displeasing.

Unless Ling Chen genuinely possessed power above the heavenly pride tier, only then would he have the qualifications to instruct him.

Turning his palm, Chen Qingzhi took out a dark gray long spear, a fierce black dragon coiling around its shaft, emitting a powerful sinister aura.

"Be careful!"

His eyes flashed with a fierce intent, Chen Qingzhi’s Black Dragon Spear suddenly shot out, leaving a pitch-black trace in the air, as fast as lightning.

Ping!

As the Black Dragon Spear’s shining spear was about to hit Ling Chen, the sword in Ling Chen’s hand seemingly had eyes, automatically blocking the front of the spear light, using the side of the sword to fend off the spear light.

"Black Dragon Breaks the River!"

Seizing the advantage, Chen Qingzhi’s spear spun frantically like a spiral, churning and carrying the momentum of breaking through everything, rushing towards Ling Chen.

Ling Chen’s eyes lit up slightly, his Red Sky Sword also spinning at high speed, forming another spiral, and meeting Chen Qingzhi’s challenge.

"To think he can match Chen Qingzhi’s spear speed!"

Qin Yiren was extremely surprised. Chen Qingzhi’s greatest advantage is his spear technique’s speed, unrivalled in Witch Gate, comparable to a Saint. Ling Chen, with his calm demeanor, completely blocked Chen Qingzhi’s assault.

"Damn it!"

Chen Qingzhi’s face turned red. Only now did he realize Ling Chen’s terrifying nature. This guy was like an impenetrable wall, leaving no openings.

But this only fueled his fighting spirit. His eyes were fixated on Ling Chen’s sword qi spiral, and suddenly, Chen Qingzhi’s spear trembled, accelerating once more.

"Hmm?"

Ling Chen showed a hint of surprise on his face, while in front of him, the sword qi spiral was smashed open by Chen Qingzhi.

The spear light, unyielding and unstoppable, turned instantly towards Ling Chen’s chest.

"Not good!"

Qin Yiren and the other Witch Gate young talents’ expressions changed, fearing Chen Qingzhi might have killed Ling Chen with that strike.

However, in their view, as the Black Dragon spear light touched Ling Chen’s protective True Qi, a tremendously powerful wave burst forth from Ling Chen’s body, shattering Chen Qingzhi’s spear light and sending both Chen Qingzhi and his spear flying.
