As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, Luo Chen moved and chose to gain the initiative by striking first.
Swish!
Luo Chen's figure was like a swimming dragon as he shot towards Duan Lingtian, and the grade three spirit sword in his hand tore through the sky and emitted waves of ear piercing sword howls.
Swimming Dragon Sword Technique!
When Luo Chen struck out with his sword, the sword in his hand seemed to have perfectly coordinated with his body. If it was said that his body was like the body of a dragon, then the sword in his hand was the dragon claw.
The sharp dragon claw tore through the sky without the slightest mercy as it clawed towards Duan Lingtian.
When facing Luo Chen's sword strike that approached menacingly, Duan Lingtian lazily stretched his body before yawning lazily.
The surrounding crowd of Wood Peak disciples were speechless when they saw this scene.
Perhaps Luo Chen's strength was inferior to Duan Lingtian, yet it wasn't much inferior.
As far as they were concerned, Duan Lingtian was too careless, and he was probably going to suffer a loss.
After all, Duan Lingtian hadn't even withdrawn his spirit weapon now.
Whoosh!
Right at the same time that Luo Chen flashed towards Duan Lingtian with his sword, 140 ancient horned dragon silhouettes dashed out from the sky with imposing auras that shot into the sky like rainbows as they bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced towards Duan Lingtian.
Thousand Illusions!
When he saw Luo Chen and his sword were only a foot away from him, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force that he'd accumulated since long ago entered into the soul brand in the depths of his soul before directly executing his soul skill.
An illusory space appeared and enveloped an area of a few tens of meters around Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, Luo Chen just happened to be within the area enveloped by the illusory space.
Whirlwind!
When facing Luo Chen's sword strike that approached menacingly, Duan Lingtian flashed to the side.
Subsequently, the spectating crowd of Wood Peak disciples were shocked to the point their eyes stared wide open, and some even gaped in astonishment and were unable to close their mouths for a long time.
All of this was because they'd seen a scene that they were unable to forget in their entire lifetimes.
They could clearly see that when Duan Ling Tian dodged to the side, Duan Ling Tian's figure flashed to the side.
Logically speaking, Luo Chen, whose strength was far superior to theirs, seemed as if he hadn't noticed at all. He continued to stab towards Duan Lingtian with his sword.
His sharp gaze was fixed on the air in front of him, as if Duan Lingtian was still there.
"What is Luo Chen doing?"
"Is he blind? Didn't you see that Duan Lingtian had already dodged to the side? "
"If he doesn't stop now, his back will be completely exposed to Duan Lingtian!"
…
The scene before their eyes caused the crowd of Wood Peak disciples to be stunned, and they were unable to understand why Luo Chen would make such an obvious mistake.
Only the few people who knew Duan Lingtian well knew why Luo Chen acted like this.
Luo Chen did not make a mistake.
It was to the extent that in that world in Luo Chen's eyes, Duan Lingtian had not dodged at all. That was why he was able to charge forward and strike with his sword.
Whoosh!
With a raise of his hand, Duan Lingtian who dodged to the side raged with Origin Energy, and then it transformed into strands of piercingly cold strong winds that coiled around his palm and ceaselessly converged together.
In the sky above him, the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth gradually condensed into form.
First, 70 ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared, and then another 40 ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared. A total of 110 ancient horned dragon silhouettes spiraled down as if they were displaying Duan Lingtian's current strength.
Fifth level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
Third level Intermediate Wind Concept.
"It's over … Luo Chen is finished!"
When they saw Luo Chen still hadn't noticed Duan Lingtian and his momentum of charging forward didn't change from the beginning to the end as he stabbed towards the spot Duan Lingtian stood earlier, many Wood Peak disciples sighed.
Swish!
Luo Chen charged out with his sword and flashed past Duan Lingtian, causing his back to be completely exposed before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
Duan Lingtian's palm that had been accumulating force since long ago suddenly shook the sky, and it was accompanied by a wave of oppressive sounds of air exploding as it fiercely descended onto Luo Chen's back.
Bang!
An enormous bang sounded out as Luo Chen was blasted flying by Duan Lingtian's palm strike, and he was barely able to stop himself after repeatedly spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"Who is it?!"
Luo Chen hurriedly turned around, and with a single glance, he saw Duan Lingtian that stood there, and his face couldn't help but go grim.
"You … Why are you there? Aren't you … Aren't you already dead? "
Luo Chen seemed as if he'd seen a ghost as he looked at Duan Lingtian who stood before him.
Earlier, the sword in his hand had clearly pierced Duan Lingtian's chest and killed Duan Lingtian.
But right when he was feeling extremely excited from his success, he felt a vast force come from behind him, and it descended onto his body and heavily injured him as he was blasted flying.
Originally, he thought it was Huang Daniu that was unwilling to accept the fact that Duan Lingtian had been killed, so Huang Daniu launched a surprise attack against him.
But when he turned around, he instead noticed an extremely terrifying thing to his astonishment.
The Duan Lingtian that ought to have been killed by him was actually standing completely unharmed before him, and this caused him to be slightly unable to accept it.
"I'm already dead?"
Duan Lingtian sneered when facing Luo Chen who was struck with panic. "Do you think … You're capable of killing me?"
Earlier, he'd utilized his soul skill, Thousand Illusions, to confuse Luo Chen and make Luo Chen kill the 'him' that was created within the illusory space because he wanted Luo Chen to deliver himself to him.
Everything that happened after that was within his control.
After he heavily injured Luo Chen, he withdrew his soul skill, Thousand Illusions, and exposed his true self before Luo Chen.
Luo Chen naturally seemed as if he'd seen a ghost when he saw Chen Xi was still alive.
After all, Luo Chen had already killed the 'him' that was created within the illusory space, and Luo Chen was utterly unaware of the existence of the illusory space.
"Impossible … How could this be possible?! How could such a thing have occurred … Impossible, impossible!! "
Luo Chen's gaze was dumbstruck as he ceaselessly shook his head, and he was slightly hysterical.
"There's another breath of time!"
Right at this moment, Yang Ling's voice sounded out.
The gazes of the surrounding crowd of Wood Peak disciples lit up as they stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian and Luo Chen, and all of them wanted to know if Luo Chen would be able to persist for another breath of time.
If he could, then he would be able to survive.
If he couldn't, then he would die here.
Flee!
When Yang Ling's voice entered into Luo Chen's ears, it was like a talisman that hastened his death, causing him to not dare divert his attention and think of anything else, and only the thought of leaving Duan Lingtian remained.
So long as he was able to endure through this final breath of time, then he would be able to survive.
As for anything else, he couldn't be bothered to think about it, nor did he dare think about it.
At this moment, there was only a single thought remaining in his mind, survive!
But would he be able to survive?
Right when Luo Chen's figure flashed with the intention of fleeing, and he was about to make a move.
Whoosh!
A swift violet colored figure appeared by his side like a ghost, and it terrified him to the point his soul almost left his body.
"No!!"
As he looked at Duan Lingtian who was almost within reach, Luo Chen's face went grim, and at the same time that he shouted out explosively, the grade three spirit sword in his hand shook before stabbing towards Duan Lingtian.
Swish!
A slight sword howl had just resounded out when it stopped abruptly in the blink of an eye, and it only appeared briefly.
In the next moment, all the spectators clearly saw it.
A fine mark of the sword had suddenly appeared on Luo Chen's throat.
After a short moment, the mark of the sword bloomed, and strands of dazzling and resplendent fresh blood gushed out freely and dyed Luo Chen's entire body red.
Subsequently, Luo Chen's gaze went slack as his hand that stabbed towards Duan Lingtian stopped halfway, and then it flashed forward with a slightly reduced speed.
Luo Chen's corpse that had lost all signs of life in the blink of an eye flashed out along with him.
Luo Chen's corpse fell down, and it fell onto a cliff at the side of the Wood Peak in a short moment before transforming into a pile of mush.
Silence.
The scene was deathly silent.
The group of Wood Peak disciples withdrew their gazes and shot tacitly at the nearby violet clothed young man, and their gazes were filled with astonishment.
Suddenly, a one meter long blade had appeared in the violet clothed young man's hand.
The brief sword howl from before was precisely the sound emitted when the one meter long blade in his hand flashed out.
Sword Drawing Arts!
It was the sword skill Duan Lingtian used to slit Luo Chen's throat after he arrived by Luo Chen's side like a shadow.
The sword skill wasn't high grade, yet it emphasized extremely on speed.
With Duan Lingtian's current strength, when he executed the Sword Drawing Arts, his speed was swift to an astonishing extent.
At the very least, amongst the people present, only Yang Ling and Ke Zheng were able to see it clearly.
Even if it was Huang Daniu who was similarly a fifth level Void Interpretation Stage martial artist like Duan Lingtian, he was similarly unable to capture the flash of the sword light.
Whoosh!
With a raise of his hand, the grade three spirit sword in Duan Lingtian's hand was put away into his Spatial Ring.
At the same time, the almost 160 ancient horned dragon silhouettes in the sky dispersed along with this, and they vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Duan Lingtian's sword strike earlier was so swift!"
"Yeah. From the beginning until the end, we only heard the brief sword howl … When we reacted to it, Luo Chen was already dead. "
"But this was also because Luo Chen was already injured. Otherwise, he might not have been caught up by Duan Lingtian."
"I still don't understand the injuries on Luo Chen's body … After Duan Lingtian dodged, why did he still charge forward with all his might and expose his back to Duan Lingtian?"
"The strangest thing was that after he was heavily injured by Duan Lingtian, he actually said Duan Lingtian was already dead when he turned around to look at Duan Lingtian?"
"His desire to excel was probably aroused to the point of hallucinating. In this way, everything makes sense … It was because of hallucinations that he exposed his back to Duan Lingtian. "
…
The crowd of Wood Peak disciples discussed animatedly, and the content of their discussion was none other than the scene of the battle between Duan Lingtian and Luo Chen earlier.
"Haha … Duan Lingtian, amazing!"
When Duan Lingtian withdrew his sword, Huang Daniu laughed loudly and gave him a thumbs up. "That Luo Chen is an idiot as well … He actually dared to choose a freak like you."
"If he didn't choose me, could it be that he would choose you?"
Duan Lingtian rolled his eyes at Huang Daniu. "If a fellow like you made a move, you'd probably be able to kill him in a single move … I at least allowed him to live for two breaths of time."
Nearby, Yang Ling and Ke Zheng glanced at each other and sighed.
They were naturally not sighing because of Luo Chen's death, but because He Gang crippled his own cultivation.
He Gang, an elder of the Wood Peak, an existence at the sixth level of the Void Transformation Stage.
