A bright light flashed in Jian Lingxiao's eyes. He stared at Chen Zong in astonishment. He found it hard to believe.
Like him, Chen Zong had obtained one of the quotas and entered the Cultivation Competition with Xu Mubai and himself to compete for the 108 quotas in the Xuan Yuan Treasure Scroll World.
However, Jian Lingxiao had always thought that Chen Zong relied on luck.
Therefore, he somewhat looked down on Chen Zong. After all, luck was only temporary. Ability was the key to success.
Moreover, Chen Zong was a Rogue Cultivator, while Jian Lingxiao was the Chief Disciple of Goldensword Villa. Their identities were even more different.
Jian Lingxiao had thought that he could kill Chen Zong with one strike, but he did not expect that he would not gain the upper hand.
Only then did Jian Lingxiao take Chen Zong seriously. Perhaps, the reason why Chen Zong was able to enter the finals like him was not purely due to luck, but also due to his strength.
Golden Radiance Nine Swords!
Jian Lingxiao did not hold back anymore. He immediately performed his most powerful sword technique. With one strike, the golden sword light streaked across the sky and reached Chen Zong in an instant.
Chen Zong was shocked and immediately performed the Blood Dripping Swordsmanship.
The Blood Dripping Swordsmanship was an Upper Sacred Grade, while the Golden Radiance Nine Swords was a Superior Sacred Grade. Even though it was incomplete, it was still very powerful.
Moreover, Jian Lingxiao had extraordinary talent in Sword Principle. He had practiced the Golden Radiance Nine Swords for many years and had already reached the Initial Realm. Its power was very terrifying.
The Half-Step Sword Essence that he had comprehended was called Golden Radiance Sword Essence. It was perfectly compatible with the Golden Radiance Nine Swords and greatly enhanced its power.
With each strike, the golden sword light pierced through the sky, leaving sword marks in the air. It was so sharp that Chen Zong felt like he had been pierced through and riddled with holes.
Chen Zong was shocked. With a dignified expression, he performed the Blood Dripping Swordsmanship to the extreme.
The difference in the level of Martial Arts Techniques brought about a difference in power.
The power of the Golden Radiance Nine Swords at the Small Success Realm was close to or even comparable to the Blood Drop Swordsmanship at the Great Success Realm. In this regard, Chen Zong did not have an advantage.
However, as they fought, Chen Zong found that his Incomplete Sword Intent seemed to be stronger than his opponent's Sword Intent.
Jian Lingxiao was also very surprised at this point.
"Demon-Destroying Golden Light!"
With a swing of the sword, the golden sword light splashed out like a stream of light pouring down from the sky. With great power, it was as if it could drive away all evils. It made Chen Zong's heart tremble and he felt that his mind was swaying.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's mind was firm and steady, so he was hardly shaken.
Misty Rain Morning Clouds!
He unleashed his self-created ultimate move.
This move had become Chen Zong's second strongest move. As for his strongest move, it was the third move of the Blood Drop Swordsmanship, Endless Blood Sea.
The terrible Sword Qi surged and rushed in all directions, as if it could tear everything apart. It left a series of shocking sword scars, which quickly spread out in all directions.
Under the Sword Qi, whether it was grass, trees, or stones, everything was smashed into powder.
The more they fought, the more surprised Jian Lingxiao was. "This guy didn't enter the final by luck? He is really strong."
Chen Zong was also a little surprised. Jian Lingxiao's strength was really terrible. If he hadn't broken through to 90% of the Incomplete Sword Intent, he would have been no match for him. Even now, he could barely hold on. It was almost impossible for him to defeat Jian Lingxiao.
Golden Radiance Nine Rotations!
After being shocked, Jian Lingxiao finally looked at Chen Zong seriously. He believed that Chen Zong was qualified to make him use all his strength, so he immediately used his ultimate move.
Chen Zong had seen the power of this move with his own eyes. It was very terrible.
The golden sword light was very dazzling. In an instant, it burst out like a golden sun, shining with unparalleled light.
First Revolution!
The golden light became more dazzling, and its aura became more terrifying. It had a feeling of extreme overbearingness. Its sharpness was extremely shocking, as if it could shatter everything between heaven and earth.
Second Revolution!
The aura surged again, making Chen Zong feel like he was being pierced and shattered. It was very uncomfortable, and his face was extremely solemn.
"I can't let him complete the Third Revolution!" Chen Zong thought. Although he didn't know where the limit of Jian Lingxiao's sword was, he had seen Jian Lingxiao kill the peerless genius with one sword. He put himself in Jian Lingxiao's shoes and thought that he couldn't resist it at all.
Then, he could only interrupt Jian Lingxiao in advance.
Celestial Crystal Tyrant Body!
Endless Blood Sea!
In an instant, the small success Celestial Crystal Tyrant Body was displayed, and Jian Lingxiao's strength increased by several times. Endless Blood Sea went all out. When Jian Lingxiao's sword struck out, the blood light surged like a raging tide, as if it could shatter everything.
Third Revolution!
At the same time, the Third Revolution was formed, which was beyond Chen Zong's expectation.
In an instant, Chen Zong felt like he was about to be torn apart and smashed into pieces.
Block it!
He had to block this sword, because the consequence of not being able to block it was death.
Once he was killed, all the points he had obtained would be lost.
Block it!
Block it!
Block it!
His belief was strong and unparalleled. He had to block it. He had to block it.
Unknowingly, Chen Zong managed to fend off this sword attack with great effort under his strong conviction. However, he sensed an extremely terrifying power surging toward him. It was as if it wanted to penetrate through his body, spirit, and soul.
Fortunately, he managed to block it in the end.
Taking advantage of the momentum to retreat, Chen Zong felt as if his arm had lost all feeling.
Retreat!
Retreat!
Retreat!
Even if he used the Celestial Crystal Tyrant Body, he could only barely block Jian Lingxiao's sword.
However, Jian Lingxiao didn't immediately pursue him, as if it was a burden to display this sword.
"Let's go!" Without hesitation, Chen Zong immediately displayed the Flowing Light Flying Shadow and quickly left.
At present, his strength was not enough to defeat Jian Lingxiao. He could only barely contend with him.
In that case, it was better to retreat first.
Jian Lingxiao didn't pursue him. Instead, he stared at Chen Zong's retreating figure and immediately adjusted his breath.
The two battles had consumed a lot of energy. If he didn't recover in time, he would be in danger of being killed if he encountered other peerless geniuses.
…
"My sword doesn't need so many changes and revolutions."
"One sword!"
"Only one sword, with the strongest power. There's no need for so many changes."
"Where the heart desires, the sword will go. One sword to kill the enemy, and there's no turning back."
After Chen Zong fled far away, he pondered.
Jian Lingxiao's strength was very strong, even stronger than his. Of course, it was mainly because of the Nine Golden Lights Sword. If it weren't for this sword, Jian Lingxiao's strength wouldn't be stronger than his.
A tyrannical unique skill was enough to reverse the outcome of the battle and reverse life and death.
The most important thing right now was to create a unique skill with extremely strong offensive power. It was very necessary and also the most important thing. Chen Zong increasingly realized this.
After all, the geniuses who entered the Xuan Yuan Treasure Scroll this time weren't weaker than Jian Lingxiao. There were many of them, and some of them were even stronger than Jian Lingxiao.
Like Xu Mubai!
Like Zhao Xingkong!
Like Blazing Phoenix King!
Like Yang Quan!
Like Hei Yan Ze!
Like Ye Chen Dao!
These were all things he knew. There would only be more that he didn't know.
If he encountered these geniuses, he would be no match for them. Sometimes, it wouldn't be easy for him to escape. He could only be killed, lose half of his points, and drop his ranking.
Therefore, strength was very important.
Now, the way to improve his strength was either to break through the Half-Step Sword Intent to 100%, which would significantly increase his strength, or to create a unique skill with tyrannical offensive power.
Of course, borrowing the power of Asura's doppelganger was also a way.
However, it wasn't his own strength after all. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Chen Zong didn't want to borrow it.
On the other hand, Chen Zong also had a feeling that in the Xuan Yuan Treasure Scroll, the power of a Saint Realm expert would be suppressed to the extreme. He was afraid that the power of Asura's doppelganger wouldn't be of much help to him and might even be exposed.
In the final analysis, his own strength was the most important. Everything else was ultimately external forces that couldn't be put to good use.
Chen Zong stopped and kept recalling Jian Lingxiao's Golden Light Sword Technique in his mind. Every sword move was so sharp and tyrannical, especially the last Golden Light Nine Revolutions. Although it was only the Third Revolution, its power was terrifying.
That sword had pointed out the direction for Chen Zong's self-created attack. However, Chen Zong did not need to go through nine transformations, nor did he need to go through three transformations. As long as he poured all his strength into that one sword strike, he would be able to kill his enemy in one strike.
One sword move to kill!
The light in his eyes flickered incessantly as more and more spiritual lights appeared. Gradually, the ultimate move became clearer and clearer, but it still lacked something.
Fight!
He continued to look for strong opponents to fight, using the external pressure to stimulate himself and also to hone himself.
Fight, fight, fight!
Kill, kill, kill!
Over the next few days, the number of geniuses that died under Chen Zong's sword increased by another six. However, Chen Zong was also nearly killed once more. That time, he had no choice but to borrow the power of the Asura doppelganger to escape.
However, Chen Zong also found that the power of Asura's doppelganger was indeed more restricted here. It consumed more energy and could only last for a shorter time.
After several life-or-death battles, Chen Zong's points reached more than 300. His ranking also improved a lot, reaching the 300th place. However, there was still a big gap to enter the top 108.
Similarly, the effect of the sharpening under the life-or-death crisis became more and more obvious.
Countless inspirations filled his mind like lightning and sword light, as if ten thousand swords were flying at the same time.
"This sword move should be the sword of extreme speed and strength. It should be the ultimate combination of speed and strength. It should be the sharpness that abandons all ostentatiousness."
"This sword move should be unsheathed when I feel like it, piercing through everything in the world."
"This sword move should come from the heart and end with the sword."
"The extreme of the heart and the extreme of the sword …"
The inspirations became clearer. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, an unparalleled cold light shot out from his heart and soul, piercing through the sky.
Immediately, Chen Zong used his finger as a sword and stabbed straight out. The sword light was extremely fast, piercing through the sky like a ray of light. There was a cold light at the tip of his finger. It was so sharp that it pierced through everything in the world. It was indestructible and unstoppable.
The sword moved as if it had pierced through time and space. It seemed to have shrunk the distance of the world.
