Ling Tian Sword God

"This is the most essential move of the Seven Stars Ultimate Killing Sword Technique, Fight Turning Star Shift!"

Peerless Sword’s pupils suddenly reflected a flash of astonishment. The Seven Stars Ultimate Killing Sword Technique is renowned throughout the Sword Casting Villa, and this move, Fight Turning Star Shift, is incredibly powerful.

Even a Saint’s killing move can be reflected back. It’s truly using one’s own method to return it back upon them.

With this move, Ling Chen is bound to be defeated.

Peerless Sword seemed to have already foreseen the outcome.

"Damn!"

Marquis Guiming’s heart secretly cried out in distress. He didn’t expect that the Star Sword Marquis had actually mastered this move, Fight Turning Star Shift, likely just recently; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unaware.

Ling Chen’s onslaught was too fierce, now countered by the Star Sword Marquis’s method, he might very well lose.

Could it be that from now on, he’ll really have to call Star Sword Marquis his big brother?

At this moment, in the center of that area, facing the backlash of this move, Ling Chen’s expression remained indifferent until that star was just an arm’s length away. Only then did he raise his head, his eyes shining with brilliance.

"Hmph! Let’s see how you defend!"

Star Sword Marquis’s eyes emitted a cold light. Fight Turning Star Shift was his biggest trump card, initially intended to be used when vying for the king’s throne, yet Ling Chen had forced it out prematurely.

This brat is indeed formidable, but unfortunately, he is still superior. If it were any other Divine Marquises, they might have already been defeated by Ling Chen!

However, just before this powerful star was about to hit Ling Chen, it suddenly halted, mysteriously stopping right in front of Ling Chen as if frozen.

"What?"

Star Sword Marquis’s pupils contracted. This violent star unexpectedly was no longer under his control, just stopping right there before Ling Chen!

At this moment, Ling Chen’s lips curved slightly, "Is my sword qi that easily controlled by others?"

To use one’s method and return it back might be a significant disadvantage to others, but Ling Chen’s Sword Controlling Technique had already reached the Third level. To counter him with the sword qi he released was an impossible feat.

"What, Fight Turning Star Shift was broken?"

Peerless Sword’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

As the voice fell, without allowing Star Sword Marquis time to react, Ling Chen’s eyes brightened, his head tilted abruptly, and the star brushed past the side of his face!

As the star vanished in a flash, a cold star lit up; Ling Chen had struck.

Pffft!

A strand of flying blood scattered, a sword mark appeared on Star Sword Marquis’s cheek.

At the crucial moment, he forcibly shifted his body, avoiding the sure-kill sword, but his Sword Momentum was completely shattered by Ling Chen’s opportunity, leaving him no choice but to retreat repeatedly under the overwhelming force.

"Break!"

Star Sword Marquis’s mouth trickled with blood, his whole body’s True Qi surged. The long sword in Star Sword Marquis’s hand exploded with intense yet not blinding moonlight, sweeping out a vast expanse of moonlight, enveloping the entire Third-peak Area in thick luminescence for a moment.

Moonlight Slash!

"Return to the Ruins!"

Star Sword Marquis’s Moonlight Slash was a bright pale yellow, whereas Ling Chen’s Return to the Ruins was an unfathomable red. These two different colors clashed, each occupying half of the landscape.

Boom!

The airwaves exploded, both men flew back.

The difference was, Star Sword Marquis spat out a mouthful of blood. The forced shifting of his body had damaged his internal organs, combined with the shattering of his Sword Momentum by Ling Chen, exacerbated the damage. Then, challenging Ling Chen caused him to be unable to suppress the wounds finally, and the injuries broke out completely.

"Damn, taste my Seven Stars Absolute Kill!"

Star Sword Marquis knew he couldn’t defeat Ling Chen, at this moment, only by fighting with all his might did he have a chance to win!

Star Sword Marquis’s figure darted forward, his speed beyond words, like a beam of light traversing the universe star sea, striking toward Jingben. Even more terrifying is that as this sword was about to be unleashed, Star Sword Marquis became one with the Treasure Sword, and his outer body erupted with a peculiar sword pressure. This sword pressure wasn’t Star Sword Marquis’s unique strength but the absolute killing force contained within the Seven Stars Absolute Kill, forming a force field.

Star Sword Marquis was confident that this sword would absolutely kill Ling Chen.

His sword, though flawed, was incredibly powerful, and a small flaw was nothing. Within this brief time, Ling Chen may not be able to see it!

"It’s dangerous!"

Marquis Guiming’s hair bristled, he didn’t blink.

This sword alone proved that Star Sword Marquis was indeed stronger!

"This sword is terrifying."

Peerless Sword, also a swordsman, felt his heart almost stop, the power of this sword shocked him. He felt that even three of himself couldn’t withstand this sword; there was no challenge.

However, Wei Wuxian, a distance away at the Divine Marquises’ seat, gazed at this scene, a reflective expression colouring his face, deep in thought.

Ling Chen’s eyes concentrated on a rapidly enlarging sword light; Star Sword Marquis’s absolute killing sword was before him in no time. Yet Ling Chen’s face suddenly revealed a cold smile, "To use a sword technique you haven’t fully mastered against an enemy, I must admire your courage."

"How is that possible, did he spot the flaw in this sword?!"

Hearing these words, Star Sword Marquis’s heart skipped a beat, refusing to believe that within this fleeting moment, Ling Chen spotted the issue; did he really have eyes that pierced through lies?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Ling Chen moved, the Thunder Sound Sword in his hand had already pierced out, flashing through the void, striking the force field with unparalleled speed!

Pffft!

The force field was ripped apart like cloth, Ling Chen’s sword qi infiltrated within, exploding inside out—Star Sword Marquis’s absolute killing sword qi hadn’t even touched the hem of Ling Chen’s robe and had already lost its power, showing signs of collapse.

"Of course, you saw the flaw, indeed it’s you."

Wei Wuxian’s eyes lit with sharp intent. He had also noticed the vast flaws in Star Sword Marquis’s sword earlier. Yet spotting them and finding the position of the flaw in a short moment, then swiftly acting to dismantle it were two different concepts.

In the blink of an eye, the absolute killing sword qi collapsed entirely, and at the instant of passing by, Ling Chen’s Thunder Sound Sword was thrust out, piercing Star Sword Marquis’s chest. Due to Star Sword Marquis’s inertia, the Thunder Sound Sword penetrated through his body, and where the sword light passed, blood spewed skyward like a fountain.

Boom!

Star Sword Marquis fell to the ground, skidding away, his breath deteriorating to the extreme.

All eyes were focused on the severely wounded and defeated Star Sword Marquis; the entire top of the Third Peak fell into a deathly silence.
