Chapter 1209 - 1208: The Terrifying Skyeye Marquis
Star Sword Marquis, seriously injured and defeated!
If they hadn’t seen the current tragic state of Star Sword Marquis with their own eyes, they would never believe that Star Sword Marquis would be defeated by Ling Chen, and that it would be a crushing defeat, utterly devastated.
"Senior Brother Star Sword Marquis actually lost!"
Peerless Sword sat weakly on the ground. The strength of Star Sword Marquis was much greater than his, and was the person he admired most at the Sword Casting Villa. He never thought that someone as powerful as Star Sword Marquis would lose to Ling Chen.
He had previously wanted to challenge Ling Chen, but now it has undoubtedly become a joke.
Among the younger generation, both Wei Wuxian and Ling Chen have surpassed him. Before, his goal was merely to surpass Ling Chen and reclaim the glory that once belonged to him, but now, ahead of him, there is another one—Wei Wuxian.
On the high platform.
"Star Sword Marquis is already a top swordsman of the younger generation. His swordsmanship has reached an exceptional level even if we consider the past two hundred years. Yet, he ultimately lost to Ling Chen."
The White Robed Swordsman’s eyes showed a complex expression. He felt some sympathy for Star Sword Marquis because a genius swordsman like him would undoubtedly be the leader, dominating the scene if placed in his generation. But now, he has been kicked out of the Divine Marquis seat, which is exceptionally bleak.
And now, two genius swordsmen have suddenly surpassed Star Sword Marquis.
"It’s not that Star Sword Marquis’s strength isn’t up to par, but his opponent was too strong. If it were any other Divine Marquis, excluding the top three Xuannv, Skyeye Marquis, and Free and Unrestrained Marquis, the outcome would likely be the same."
Dominator Gun Saint nodded solemnly.
If the strength of the Twelve Divine Marquises were divided into three tiers, then Xuannv is the first tier, Skyeye Marquis and Free and Unrestrained Marquis are the second tier, and the others are all in the third tier.
"This generation of newcomers is too terrifying. I now look forward to seeing how far they can go."
The White Robed Swordsman’s eyes showed a tint of anticipation.
"Do you mean... this isn’t their end?"
An elder judge was taken aback, "Could they possibly continue to rise?"
Further up lies the peak of Spirit Mountain... Where currently only five people reside, four Kings... along with a Xuannv.
These five individuals are almost the strongest among the younger generation.
Though Ling Chen and Wei Wuxian performed well, how could they contend with those five?
"I don’t think they will stop here. Just wait and see."
The White Robed Swordsman spoke slowly.
"This kid poses too great a threat."
After Ling Chen defeated Star Sword Marquis, the mood of Marquis Guiming became extremely complex. On the one hand, Star Sword Marquis was defeated, and he was happy about not having to worry about becoming subservient to him. However, Ling Chen’s overwhelming strength was not a good thing for all of Desolate Fire City.
"But you won’t get to be complacent for long."
Marquis Guiming’s eyes suddenly flickered with an icy light. Though he couldn’t deal with Ling Chen, others surely could. Needless to say, Yuwen Lin’s master, their Desolate Fire City’s Third Elder Saint Qian Yan, certainly wouldn’t let Ling Chen off the hook. He had long been eyeing Ling Chen and would seize any opportunity to eliminate him, avenging his beloved disciple.
This Nine Streams Conference will be Ling Chen’s last glory!
After defeating Star Sword Marquis, Ling Chen suddenly moved and flew onto the Divine Marquis seat, taking a seat.
"Cousin, you’re amazing!"
Liu Mengru extended her thumb towards Ling Chen from afar. She hadn’t expected Ling Chen’s strength to have reached this level. Star Sword Marquis’s swordsmanship was already considered highly refined and masterful, yet it couldn’t shake Ling Chen, ultimately losing under Ling Chen’s sword.
"None of these people should be underestimated..."
Mad Blade Marquis felt it the most. Earlier, his fight with Peerless Sword was a narrow victory, with even a trace of luck involved.
Later, Wei Wuxian and Ling Chen both defeated Marquis Guiming and Star Sword Marquis, respectively; each of the three battles was a tough and gritty fight.
The successive victories of Wei Wuxian and Ling Chen also gave other young generations who arrived at the Third Peak tremendous confidence, and in an instant, several youths stepped forward to challenge, including a powerful Heavenly Pride vying for the Divine Marquis position.
But ultimately, the result was without a doubt a complete defeat.
This outcome also sobered many up, with a bitter smile in their hearts. Those two victories earlier didn’t prove anything other than the fact that those two were monstrous.
At this moment, the Rakshasa Woman stood not far away, her gaze shifting among the remaining nine Divine Marquises before finally resting on a slightly slender black-robed figure.
Having locked onto her target, Rakshasa Woman appeared in the center of the arena, her long whip pointed at the slender figure, "Rakshasa Woman of the Divine Female Sect challenges Your Excellency!"
She chose this opponent for the reason that compared to other genius rivals of the Divine Marquis Level, this person’s aura was the weakest, evidently not as strong in cultivation as the others.
The other Divine Marquises appeared one by one, but clearly weren’t easy to deal with. The softest target must be chosen.
The black-robed figure said nothing and lightly tapped her foot, soaring from her seat to fall in front of Rakshasa Woman.
"This woman, of all people, why did she pick her?"
A blood-robed man shook his head; this person was named Blood Robe Marquis, a renowned youthful genius.
"Skyeye Marquis has always been a mystery, and it’s a good chance to see her strength."
Free and Unrestrained Marquis said indifferently, his eyes glinting slightly.
Ling Chen’s gaze fell upon the black-robed figure, whose face was concealed by a mask, leaving her true appearance unknown. After scrutinizing the figure, he frowned. The figure’s silhouette was evidently female, but that wasn’t what intrigued him; rather, he found it eerily familiar.
Could Skyeye Marquis be someone he had seen before?
Just as Ling Chen was caught in contemplation, the center of the arena saw Rakshasa Woman fiercely strike, her fiery red whip like a Fire Python, shooting towards Skyeye Marquis!
As Rakshasa Woman made her move, Skyeye Marquis slightly raised her head. Her eyes seemed two deep vortices, akin to black holes in the cosmic starry sky. At this moment, all who locked eyes with Skyeye Marquis were drawn into the vortex, entering a strange void.
Ling Chen felt as though his body was trapped in a spatial vortex, billions of miles passing by in an instant. Following that, a massive rift appeared in the void before his eyes, deep within the rift an enormous eye gazed upon him, its terrifying pressure cascading like a waterfall.
This colossal eye truly was like the Eye of the Nine Heavens, disdainful of all life!
Pffft!
Ling Chen barely countered the pressure from this celestial eye before noticing that at the center of the arena, Rakshasa Woman had coughed up blood, half-kneeling on the ground, her face pale with terror as she looked at the black-robed woman before her.
Rakshasa Woman, instantly defeated!
The crowd was stoked into a frenzied uproar.
