Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Anger
"Young Master Qin, you flatter me! Let us continue this unfinished battle!"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Qin Wufa nodded his head.
"Azure Sky Mysterious Curtain!"
A cold shout burst forth from Qin Wufa’s mouth.
With a flourish of his longsword, seventy-two ice blue Sword Qis soared into the sky.
"It’s a mid-tier Emperor Spirit Technique!"
All the emperors exclaimed in surprise.
The Azure Sky Mysterious Curtain, one of Qingyun Sword Sect’s safeguarded Spirit Arts.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was drawn towards the ice blue Sword Qis in the sky.
The ice blue Sword Qis quickly split and intertwined with each other, swiftly forming a blue curtain!
"Go!"
With the curtain formed, Qin Wufa drew with his longsword, and the blue curtain descended upon Ling Chen with crushing force.
Facing the immense blue curtain, Ling Chen felt as though the blue sky itself was collapsing, his heart extremely oppressed.
"What a bizarre Spirit Art!"
Ling Chen was startled in his heart.
However, he immediately recovered.
"Through the Shadows Demon Sword!"
Ling Chen let out a thunderous shout, as seventy-two Sword Qis whistled out and converged into a gigantic three-zhang-long and three-feet-wide demon sword.
At this moment, the mid-tier Emperor Spirit Technique, Through the Shadows Demon Sword, was finally unleashed!
"My god, is this also a mid-tier Emperor Spirit Technique?"
Many onlookers, faced with the ferocious aura of the massive demon sword, showed frightened expressions.
"Boom!"
The blue sky curtain collided with the three-zhang demon sword.
The demon sword, radiating an unmatched sharpness, sought to pierce through the curtain.
Meanwhile, the blue sky curtain enveloped the demon sword.
Both sides were furiously locked in combat.
In the end, they both dissipated into nothingness.
"It seems, I cannot hold back if I am to win!"
A cold light flashed in Qin Wufa’s eyes.
Being the top prodigy of the Central Region,
One could imagine his pride.
He had thought that with Sword Intent and Spirit Art, he could defeat Ling Chen.
Unexpectedly, Ling Chen’s mastery of Sword Intent and Spirit Art was not inferior to his.
Now, only by tapping into the Spiritual Power of the late sixth stage of the World Realm could he defeat Ling Chen.
Using the advantage of Spiritual Power that one’s cultivation level brought to defeat Ling Chen made him feel victory would be dishonorable!
However, for the sake of himself, the Qingyun Sword Sect, and even the face of Central Region cultivators, he had no choice but to do so!
"Young Master Ling, you truly have remarkable strength! However, from now on, I will give it my all!"
Qin Wufa said with a cold tone.
Ling Chen’s strength also put him under pressure.
He had no choice but to exert his full power.
"Young Master Qin, please make your move!"
Ling Chen responded with an indifferent smile.
"Alright!"
Qin Wufa nodded slightly, then his gaze suddenly sharpened.
"Azure Sky Mysterious Curtain!"
Qin Wufa shouted loudly, once again executing this mid-tier Emperor Spirit Technique.
However, this time he used the Spiritual Power of the late sixth stage of the World Realm!
This iteration of the blue sky curtain was even more terrifying in power, giving people a heavier sense of oppression.
"Well met!"
Ling Chen laughed loudly as the fusion of Spiritual Power within him surged crazily toward the Red Long Sword in his hand.
"Shoo, shoo, shoo..."
Once again, Sword Qis soared into the sky.
"Through the Shadows Demon Sword!"
With a thought from Ling Chen, the Spiritual Power once again converged into a demon sword.
"Boom!"
The Spiritual Power demon sword once again collided with the blue sky curtain.
Waves of energy rampaged throughout the sky.
The void was directly torn into rifts, with much of the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth being sucked into these voids.
This time, the Spiritual Power demon sword actually gained a slight advantage, penetrating the blue sky curtain and continuing its attack towards Qin Wufa.
"What, how is this possible?!"
Qin Wufa’s face was filled with disbelief.
He hadn’t employed Spiritual Power, yet he managed an even match with Ling Chen.
To his astonishment, going all out had actually put him at a disadvantage!
"This..."
The crowd was utterly astounded!
Their first genius of the central domain was actually at a disadvantage against Ling Chen of the Eastern Domain?
There was a dead silence between heaven and earth, with all eyes wide open, staring intently at the figure from the Eastern Domain.
Qin Wufa was the first to recover, holding an Emperor Spiritual Weapon, charging towards the Spiritual Power Demon Sword.
With several sword strikes, he shattered the Spiritual Power Demon Sword.
"Ah!"
Ling Chen couldn’t help but sigh.
His previous attack had employed the Power of Fusion.
However, as his cultivation level advanced, the Power of Fusion seemed somewhat weaker.
The power of Spiritual Power had barely increased by one level.
There was no helping it, his Divine Soul level was ultimately too low.
It was only comparable to the later stage of the King Realm!
To achieve nearly a single level increase was already reaching the limit.
When could he advance to the Emperor Realm? Only then could his Power of Fusion unleash the true might of the World Realm level!
Hearing Ling Chen’s sigh, the cultivators spectating were even more shocked, their eyeballs almost popping out.
Such power, and Ling Chen seemed unsatisfied?
Indeed, a genius of the prodigy level!
Their pursuits were not on the same level as his.
Ling Chen being able to battle Qin Wufa to a standstill had already surpassed the level of an exceptional individual in the eyes of the spectators, reaching the level of a prodigy!
"Did you employ a Holy Body Secret Technique?"
Qin Wufa stared fixedly at Ling Chen.
If the Holy Body Secret Technique hadn’t been used, how could Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power have suddenly increased so much?
The gap between the two men’s techniques lay in the Spiritual Power.
The degree to which Ling Chen condensed his Spiritual Power was even above his, which led to the unbelievable scene before!
Other than the Holy Body Secret Technique, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.
Yet, there was no substantial change in the aura of Spiritual Power on Ling Chen’s body.
Therefore, he couldn’t be sure and so asked him directly.
"Sort of!"
Ling Chen nodded.
His Night Moon Saint Body didn’t have a secret technique for a short-term boost in Spiritual Power.
So, the Power of Fusion roughly qualified as one.
"Huff!"
Qin Wufa let out a light breath.
No wonder!
So Ling Chen had used a Holy Body Secret Technique!
And he had yet to employ his.
"Boom!"
Without any hesitation, Qin Wufa instantly activated his Holy Body Secret Technique, his Spiritual Power soaring to another level, reaching the powerful stage of the late seventh layer of the World Realm.
Of course, the Holy Body Secret Technique could only enhance Spiritual Power, not the World Power.
He cannot lose this battle!
"So he really used a Holy Body Secret Technique, huh!"
"He is too irresponsible! Resorting to such petty tricks!"
"I am ashamed to be associated with him!"
...
The cultivators from the central domain were indignant.
However, they had forgotten that a bout between experts was inherently extremely dangerous.
Ling Chen being able to execute the Holy Body Secret Technique without anyone noticing was a tactic in itself.
When they fought others, they wouldn’t disclose all their techniques to their opponents right from the start.
"Young Master Ling, face my strongest strike!"
Qin Wufa snorted coldly.
Ling Chen had covertly activated a Sacred Body technique, and if it weren’t for having a considerable advantage in cultivation, this strike would have heavily injured him.
Hence, he was dissatisfied with Ling Chen.
You see, he had always considered Ling Chen a true opponent and had reminded Ling Chen multiple times before.
Yet Ling Chen had silently used such a technique.
It truly angered him!
"Azure Sky Mysterious Curtain!"
Qin Wufa bellowed inwardly, Spiritual Power pouring into his Longsword, casting an intermediate-level Emperor Spirit Technique again, manifesting a terrifying blue celestial curtain that pressed down on Ling Chen.
With his Spiritual Power increased by one level, this attack was even more terrifying!
In a high-level confrontation, victory hangs by a thread.
His Spiritual Power having greatly surged, he was basically assured of victory!
