Chapter 1218 - 1217: Victory or Defeat?
"Snow-Sky Formation—Slaughter!"
King of Snowy Night flicked his palm, and the snowflakes in midair suddenly swept violently, as if condensing into countless snow blades, shooting toward Ling Chen like raindrops!
The snow filling the sky all turned into blade-like Sword Light. Ling Chen moved as well, and moving together with him were the hundred-plus Flying Swords behind him, as if they were one with Ling Chen, blasting out toward the front.
Puff, puff, puff!
The Flying Swords and the Snowflake Sword Qi twisted together in midair, the sounds of slaughter continuously ringing out; that storm-like blade qi was shredded apart one after another!
Ling Chen was unstoppable, already closing to within less than ten meters in front of King of Snowy Night. The hundred-plus Flying Swords were about to shroud King of Snowy Night’s body!
At that instant, the treasure sword in King of Snowy Night’s hand suddenly stabbed into the ground before him. An incomparably frigid aura swept out, freezing the surrounding ground and space!
The hundred-plus Flying Swords running at high speed were forcibly frozen in midair, and at this moment, King of Snowy Night suddenly swung up the Snow Night Blade, cleaving a killing strike through the air straight at Ling Chen himself.
Whoosh!
The blade light turned into an Ice Bird and streaked out. Wherever it passed, its path froze abruptly, becoming incomparably smooth and slick.
In such a situation, Ling Chen’s pupils slightly contracted. He then lightning-fast drew the Red Sky Sword from his waist, and unleashed a savage slash—Blazing Thunder Cut!
Crack!
The explosive Sword Light split the Ice Bird cleanly in two, yet a terrifying cold seeped into the Red Sky Sword in Ling Chen’s hand. That horrifying chill froze the Red Sky Sword, and seemed about to climb along it, freezing Ling Chen’s entire arm!
However, just as the dreadful cold was sweeping across the entire Red Sky Sword, all of a sudden a blazing fluctuation erupted from within the sword body. The frost that had just covered the Red Sky Sword and Ling Chen’s arm melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Right then, the hundred-plus Flying Swords that had been frozen also broke free from their shackles one after another, and then, at a shocking speed, blasted down from midair!
King of Snowy Night’s pupils narrowed slightly, and he gripped his blade and leapt up, not only not retreating, but instead charging straight toward those hundred-plus Flying Swords!
His blade swept with a slash in midair, and a snow-white arc of blade light like a silk ribbon cleaved out horizontally. The foremost seven or eight Flying Swords were smashed to powder on the spot, exploding into shards of ice!
"What a vicious blade light!"
The many young prodigies were all utterly shocked. Ling Chen’s Flying Swords were not ordinary sword qi; Flying Swords unleashed through the Sword Controlling Technique were ten times, a hundred times tougher than normal sword qi. Yet even so, these Flying Swords were still so vulnerable before King of Snowy Night.
"Even Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords can’t suppress King of Snowy Night?"
Not far away, Free and Unrestrained Marquis’ gaze was grave. He had originally thought that by relying on his Saint Sword Intent and the Realm of Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords, Ling Chen might gain some advantage over King of Snowy Night. He had not expected that Ling Chen still wouldn’t be able to gain the slightest benefit.
Facing King of Snowy Night’s ferocious counterattack, the Gold light in Ling Chen’s pupils flared to the extreme. His body suddenly darted out, his aura merging as one with the Flying Swords all around him.
As if having received the aura of their master Ling Chen, those Flying Swords suddenly became even more sharp and fierce, then, at a shocking speed, pierced toward King of Snowy Night!
King of Snowy Night suddenly stomped, his blade light sweeping. A snow-white blade qi turned into an ice wall in front of him, blocking off the Void ahead.
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
The Flying Swords bombarded King of Snowy Night’s ice wall and were all intercepted, leaving one hollow after another, yet failing to completely pierce through the wall.
However, under such a fierce bombardment, the ice wall finally still completely collapsed. Ling Chen drove dozens of Flying Swords and slashed across the sky, one sword suddenly thrusting straight at King of Snowy Night.
Green Lotus Sword Song, Sixth Form—Sword Riding the Wind!
Moreover, this move, combined now with Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords, had reached an unprecedented level of power!
In King of Snowy Night’s eyes, the Sword Light rapidly magnified, yet he remained standing where he was, his expression still without much ripple. The urgent sound of "hua la la" spread out as all the drifting snow around King of Snowy Night swept in at an astonishing speed, finally condensing entirely onto his blade!
His white hair whipped wildly in the wind. King of Snowy Night seemed to have become a god of ice and snow, wielding the power of storm and frost, controlling the blade momentum of this summit of Spirit Mountain.
"Night of Snow, Sorrow of Darkness, Defy the Heavens, Cleave the Firmament!"
With a sudden furious shout, the Snow Night Blade in King of Snowy Night’s hand slashed out with a Reverse Slash. At the instant the blade was drawn, even the surrounding space was affected, as if day briefly turned into night, becoming dim and lightless.
This slash was unprecedented in its might.
"King of Snowy Night has been forced to reveal his trump card."
On the eastern throne, King of Taisu’s eyes lit slightly, his expression growing solemn. This slash was King of Snowy Night’s strongest slash; he had not expected Ling Chen to force it out.
"With his trump card unleashed, King of Snowy Night is sure to win."
Holy Heart Queen said faintly. Among the four of them, King of Snowy Night’s offensive power was the greatest. Now that he was using a killing move to decide victory or defeat with Ling Chen, the result was basically already clear.
This was not only King of Snowy Night’s strongest slash, but the strongest slash of the entire younger generation.
Bang!
Under the crowd’s stunned gazes, Ling Chen’s Sword Light and King of Snowy Night’s blade light collided head-on. Ling Chen’s Sword Light was like a keen edge, while the Flying Swords around him spun at high speed, turning into a spiral that drilled out ferociously, as if to bore a massive hole through the very Void.
From afar, King of Snowy Night’s blade light looked like a snowy moon. Wherever it passed, the Void fell entirely into Darkness, the ground coated in a thick layer of frost, with no Light or warmth remaining.
The ground cracked open, the entire main peak of Spirit Mountain shook violently. Sword qi and blade light shot in all directions, striking the surrounding ground and leaving densely packed pits.
The whole younger generation hurriedly circulated their power to block the flying blade force and sword qi. Even the four thrones on all sides were affected, swaying and nearly collapsing in midair.
Within their field of vision, after the intense shockwave, two figures emerged. Ling Chen’s figure had already appeared behind King of Snowy Night, while King of Snowy Night was still standing unmoved where he had been.
Puff!
Ling Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood full of ice shards. He jammed the Red Sky Sword into the ground to support himself, his face turning extremely pale.
"Ling Chen lost?"
Seeing Ling Chen in this state, everyone’s expressions changed. This battle—had Ling Chen still lost after all?
"To fight King of Snowy Night to this extent is already not bad."
King of Taisu shook his head. Being able to force out King of Snowy Night’s trump card was already quite an incredible feat for someone of the younger generation.
"Mm. There’s no shame in losing."
Holy Heart Queen nodded. Ling Chen’s performance was no worse than Wei Wuxian’s. After all, his opponent was King of Snowy Night. Compared to King of Golden Buddha, King of Snowy Night’s strength was undoubtedly superior. If King of Golden Buddha could be likened to the strongest shield of the younger generation, then King of Snowy Night was the strongest sword, and much more troublesome to face.
Yet just as Holy Heart Queen’s voice fell, within everyone’s line of sight, King of Snowy Night suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood, then broke into violent coughing. The pallor of his face was, if anything, even worse than Ling Chen’s!
