Ling Tian Sword God

"Ling Chen himself won’t make a move, and instead sends trash like you to fight?"

Seeing Zhou Yi jump out, the corner of Gu Lei’s mouth also lifted into a mocking smile.

"Looking down on me?"

Zhou Yi let out a cold laugh. "Right now I’ll make you, you barbarian, pay the price!"

With that, with a swoosh, Zhou Yi suddenly left behind a fading afterimage where he had stood. A sinister chill flashed across his eyes, then he abruptly stepped forward; violent True Qi surged out of his body like crashing waves.

"Water Wave Boxing!"

Zhou Yi held nothing back. His fist blasted out, and violent water attribute True Qi madly gathered upon it. That surging power was enough to shatter mountains.

Boom!

The raging fist wind carrying terrifying force exploded forth, fast as thunderbolts. In the span of a breath it was already before Ling Chen’s chest, the shrill sound of tearing wind piercing through the platform.

"Pa!"

The fiercely blasted fist wind suddenly froze in the next instant. Zhou Yi’s pupils tightened. He saw that Gu Lei’s Heavy Sword was calmly blocking right in front of his fist. That power sufficient to bore through mountains slammed into the broad blade of the Heavy Sword, yet was forcibly dissolved.

"This level of strength, and you dare show it off?"

Gu Lei bared his teeth in a grin at Zhou Yi, his smile turning abruptly icy. Then his palm twisted to the side, and a peerlessly sharp edge wriggled along the Heavy Sword before finally hacking toward Zhou Yi with an incomparably ferocious momentum!

"Water Elemental Shield!"

Zhou Yi’s expression changed drastically as his body swept back at high speed. At the same time, his hands formed seals, blue True Qi rapidly gathering before him, condensing into a round Water Shield.

"It’s useless!"

A cutting light suddenly flashed in Gu Lei’s eyes. He shouted, and the Heavy Sword in his hand, like a furious dragon, chopped viciously down upon Zhou Yi’s Water Elemental Shield.

Crack!

With just a single strike, the Water Elemental Shield before Zhou Yi was cleaved apart. In the next moment, the incomparably heavy blade of the Heavy Sword slammed ruthlessly onto his body.

With the sound of bones fracturing ringing out, Zhou Yi’s entire body was sent flying backward, blood dyeing his robes red as he spat blood wildly.

Just one sword strike, and Zhou Yi suffered a crushing defeat!

"Impossible!"

The faces of the many Lingyue Island disciples all showed disbelief. With Zhou Yi’s strength, he couldn’t even block a single sword from Gu Lei.

"Haha, Lingyue Island disciples really are all wine sacks and rice bags, hardly a useful one among you."

A sneer suddenly surfaced on Gu Lei’s face as his gaze swept over the crowd, regarding the Lingyue Island disciples as if they were nothing.

"You’re getting pleased far too early!"

At this moment Zhou Yi also climbed back up from the ground, his eyes gloomy as he stared at Gu Lei, voice cold.

Being knocked flying by a single sword earlier, Zhou Yi believed it was entirely because he had underestimated his opponent. Otherwise, with his Saint Path First Territory strength, there was no way he would be knocked flying by this Gu Lei with one sword and end up in such a sorry state.

"Boom!"

As his cold voice fell, Zhou Yi stomped forward. His Saint Path First Territory strength was fully unveiled, majestic True Qi surging out of his body one wave after another.

"Water Dragon and Wild Beast Fist!"

Zhou Yi’s face was faintly savage, his hand seals changing like lightning. Majestic True Qi traversed beneath his skin, and his original skin gradually turned azure-blue. Vaguely, large coarse Dragon Scales surfaced upon it, making him look like the ocean incarnate.

"Senior Brother Zhou Yi has finally used his ultimate move. Once the Water Dragon and Wild Beast Fist is unleashed, this Gu Lei will definitely lose!"

"Senior Brother Ling Chen is still in seclusion cultivating; we’re counting entirely on Senior Brother Zhou Yi now! He must properly teach this barbarian a lesson, let him understand the consequences of belittling My Lingyue Island’s disciples."

All the Lingyue Island disciples glared angrily at Gu Lei. If not for their lacking strength, they would have already rushed up to give Gu Lei a fierce beating.

Rumble!

As Zhou Yi’s punch blasted out, a colossal Water Dragon suddenly shot forth, letting out a heaven-shaking dragon roar as it swept toward Gu Lei with ferocious might!

Humph!

Gu Lei suddenly let out a cold snort, saying not another word. A chill glinted in his eyes as the Heavy Sword in his hand swung out, hacking directly toward that colossal Water Dragon.

Bang!

The Heavy Sword slammed hard into the surging Water Dragon, seeming to form a stalemate. Two overwhelming forces intertwined madly. Yet in the next instant, a vicious light flashed in Gu Lei’s eyes. A strange gray Energy seemed to writhe along his arm, then the Heavy Sword blazed with radiance and, under countless astonished gazes, forcibly cleaved that colossal Water Dragon into two!

"What?"

Zhou Yi’s pupils contracted, his expression filled with disbelief. How could his killing move be so vulnerable?

Before he had time to react, the Heavy Sword chopped down brutally upon Zhou Yi’s chest, nearly cleaving his body in half. Just that one blow left Zhou Yi’s aura completely withered, half dead. If Gu Lei had pressed his hand a bit more ruthlessly, Zhou Yi’s life would likely have been forfeit.

"Haha, vermin, do you now understand how formidable I am?"

Gu Lei burst into loud laughter.

"This bastard!"

The Lingyue Island disciples all burned with anger yet dared not speak. Just then, from midair not far away, a string of piercing wind sounds suddenly rang out. Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see three figures rapidly approaching within their line of sight before descending onto the plaza.

It was none other than Ling Chen and Xia Yunxin.

"Senior Brother Ling Chen is here!"

With the arrival of the two, joy surfaced on the faces of the Lingyue Island disciples on the plaza, followed by collective sighs of relief spreading swiftly across the platform.

Their gazes were like those of people seeing a savior. Their pillar of support had finally arrived.

"You’re the King of Ten Thousand Swords Ling Dust?"

When Gu Lei saw Ling Chen, a hint of gravity surfaced in his eyes. Though his attitude had been extremely arrogant earlier, that had only been toward those Lingyue Island disciples. Now that the true main figure, Ling Chen, had appeared, he naturally didn’t dare to be the least bit careless.

"I am. Your Excellency, who might you be?"

Ling Chen looked at those faces filled with joy and the savior-like gazes, feeling somewhat helpless. As he landed, his gaze swept across the field and settled on the sturdy figure of Gu Lei.

"I am the Wild Sword King, Gu Lei."

Gu Lei directly reported his title, his gaze locked straight on Ling Chen.

"Wild Sword King?"

Ling Chen frowned slightly. In his memory, he seemed never to have heard of such a figure.

"On our North Wilderness lands, my Swordsmanship is the strongest, so I call myself the Wild Sword King," Gu Lei said.

"So it’s self-proclaimed."

One Lingyue Island disciple let out a snort of laughter. Ling Chen’s Ten Thousand Swords King title was conferred at the Nine-Stream Grand Assembly, known to the world. As for this so-called Wild Sword King, a self-styled title, its weight couldn’t compare to Ling Chen’s at all.

However, Ling Chen’s view differed from the others. From Gu Lei’s body, he could sense a rather extraordinary fluctuation. This was a Swordsman’s intuition, unrelated to Cultivation realm.
