Chapter 1453 - 1451: Hurry Up and Strike
"Once you start fighting, there’s no stopping, can’t help it!"
Hearing this, the people of the Wild Crane Stream felt as if their lungs would explode from rage.
Lintian Lingkong was trembling with anger.
"You... You’re simply too bullying!" Lintian Lingkong pointed at Yang Chen, cursing.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "I don’t like bullying others, but if someone bullies me, I have to return the favor!"
"Do you really think there’s no one in Beihai Country!" Lintian Lingkong shouted angrily.
Yang Chen shook his head, "No! On the contrary, I think there are quite a few people in Beihai Country, whether they are willing to step up, it’s hard to say."
"Clang!"
Lintian Lingkong drew his sword, the blade quivering slightly, emitting a series of humming sounds.
"Good blade!" Yang Chen squinted slightly.
Indeed, in the hands of these people from Beihai Country, there were quite a few good blades! Yang Chen sighed inwardly.
Beihai Country is a nation willing to delve into skills. Since they themselves are from Beihai Country, they don’t have much cultural heritage, always learning external cultures. The forging techniques, learned from Flame Country, have become very advanced through continuous research. Just look at the weapons in their hands, you can tell.
Yang Chen felt the aura of Lintian Lingkong change entirely, and he became serious.
Since this is a challenge, it requires facing it seriously.
Yang Chen looked at Lintian Lingkong, feeling that Lintian Lingkong was no longer an old man, but a sword, an unsheathed sword, extremely sharp!
"We of the Wild Crane Stream never fear foreign enemies!" Lintian Lingkong placed the sword before him, his eyes like those of a wild crane staring at prey.
Yang Chen said solemnly, "Yang Chen, please instruct me!"
"Lintian Lingkong, Sect Leader of Wild Crane Stream, today! To slay foreign enemies!" Lintian Lingkong shouted loudly, his katana sweeping through a flash of cold light past Yang Chen.
Originally, this blade was aimed at Yang Chen’s throat; if it had hit, with the sharpness of this sword, Yang Chen would probably be split into two pieces.
But to outsiders, it seemed that Lintian Lingkong swung a little too early, swung too close, missing Yang Chen.
But actually, both knew that Yang Chen had retreated a step swiftly, outsiders couldn’t notice it at all.
Yang Chen looked at Lintian Lingkong, sneering inwardly, shaking his head secretly.
He originally thought this elderly man was a true and pure martial artist, didn’t expect, he overestimated him.
When Lintian Lingkong acted, he didn’t ask for Yang Chen’s opinion, nor did he mention Yang Chen had no weapon, just directly attacked, giving Yang Chen no chance.
His aim was to execute with one strike, disregarding the challenge agreement.
Given this, Yang Chen was no longer concerned in his heart.
Clang!
Yang Chen suddenly reached out, blocking Lintian Lingkong’s sword.
Seeing this scene, everyone was taken aback.
Because it appeared as if Yang Chen had directly reached out to block that sword!
But upon close inspection, they saw that Yang Chen’s hand held a dagger!
A very short tactical dagger!
He dared to take such a short weapon to fight against Lintian Lingkong!
To know, Lintian Lingkong’s weapon was a long sword!
"Damn it!" Lintian Lingkong’s pupils constricted, staring at the dagger in Yang Chen’s hand, feeling immense pressure!
Others might not feel Yang Chen’s terror, but Lintian Lingkong was keenly aware, he could truly felt pressure from Yang Chen!
He had never encountered a character so formidable, even when he learned from his master, he had not felt such pressure!
Yang Chen stared at Lintian Lingkong, coldly smiled, "Indeed, it’s Beihai Country! After all, a small place, unable to learn everything, only able to take oblique paths! It seems impressive, but... inevitably deviates, hard to achieve positive outcomes!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Lintian Lingkong exploded in rage, wielding his katana, attacking Yang Chen like lightning.
Yang Chen dodged while blocking the katana with his dagger, saying, "Isn’t that so?"
"Bastard! Shut up!" Lintian Lingkong attacked furiously, every strike with all his might, sparks flying as they collided with the dagger, "Our Wild Crane Stream has been passed down for hundreds of years, how could you understand! This is a unique skill created by our ancestors!"
"Really?" Yang Chen smiled slightly, switching from defense to offense, "Then see how this move of mine fares!"
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
Yang Chen’s speed was extremely fast, to the point where it was difficult to see clearly.
Lintian Lingkong widened his eyes, exerting all his strength, using his crisis awareness, barely blocking Yang Chen’s dagger.
Even so, Lintian Lingkong could still feel waves of tremendous force transmitted from the blade, giving him an urge to let go, his hand aching!
Puff!
Ultimately, Lintian Lingkong was no match, a blade slicing across his wrist, blood spurting into the air!
Clatter!
The sword fell to the ground.
Lintian Lingkong clutched his wrist, retreated a few steps, full of fear.
Because he could clearly see, that last strike by Yang Chen could have cut across his throat, but turned towards his wrist.
Yang Chen spared his life!
"Attack now!" Lintian Lingkong shouted.
Whoosh!
Instantly, several men in samurai attire dashed out, drawing swords aimed at Yang Chen.
They were the reinforcements Lintian Lingkong had called.
However, before these men attacked.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Yang Chen swiftly dodged to the side.
Bang!
Dust rose from the ground, the floor shattered into pieces, creating a small round pit!
Someone was sniping him!
Upon landing, the dagger in Yang Chen’s hand was released like a bullet.
Puff!
A dagger pierced the sniper’s forehead on the rooftop, blood splattering.
Crash!
The sniper’s body rolled off the roof.
Thud!
Landed on the ground.
Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply!
Too terrifying!
Yang Chen not only dodged the sniper attack!
But also managed to instantly counter-kill!
It’s simply... too terrifying!
Those recruited by Lintian Lingkong pondered retreat.
They felt, even they might not be Yang Chen’s match!
Lintian Lingkong reacted quickly, shouting, "He has no weapon now! Attack fast!"
At this moment, he no longer cared about who fired the shot.
He only wanted to kill Yang Chen quickly now!
The other men heard Lintian Lingkong’s words and, without hesitation, rushed toward Yang Chen.
Then, Yang Chen’s figure flickered, already picking up Lintian Lingkong’s sword from the ground.
Clang!
Yang Chen swung the sword fiercely.
A sharp sound, piercing through the heavens and earth, exploded in everyone’s ears.
Those men also abruptly stopped in their tracks.
Yang Chen slowly retracted the sword.
Clatter!
Clang, clang, clatter!
It was the sound of metal falling to the ground.
Following the sound, everyone found that the swords in those men’s hands were cut in half, and the remaining sword halves lay on the ground!
Squelch...
Blood gushed forth.
It was a fountain of red.
Their eyes lost sparkle, with the spurt of blood, they fell straight to the ground.
One slash, life ends!
