Chapter 1320 - 1319: The Battle Begins

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1319: The Battle Begins

"You think too highly of yourself, thinking I can’t do anything to you."

Ling Chen raised an eyebrow, and his Thunder Sound Sword suddenly moved. At the same time, his aura surged abruptly, like a volcanic eruption, elevating his power to an entirely new level!

Clang!

The Sword Light of the Thunder Sound Sword fiercely slashed onto Gu Lei’s Heavy Sword, a deafening sound echoing through, astonishingly sending both Gu Lei and his sword flying backward!

His grip on the sword was unsteady, almost losing it from his hands. A look of extreme shock appeared on Gu Lei’s face. Could it be that Ling Chen hadn’t been using his full strength all along?

However, before the shock in his eyes could fully dissipate, Ling Chen struck him with another sword, directly breaking through his Protective True Qi. That fierce Sword Light cut into his body, sending him flying and spitting blood.

Steadying himself as he landed on the ground, Ling Chen looked at Gu Lei calmly and said, "Though the outcome is decided, you’ve done quite well. At least you forced out eighty percent of my strength."

Hearing these words, Gu Lei almost spat out blood again. He had already used his final trump card, and that only forced out eighty percent of Ling Chen’s strength?

"Is it true, did Ling Chen only use eighty percent of his strength to defeat the Wild Sword King, Gu Lei?"

Numerous young talents looked at each other with incredulous expressions on their faces.

Actually, what Ling Chen said was not entirely true. As they say, truth mixed with falsehood. The Youth Kings’ battle had only just begun, so how could he possibly expose his full strength?

"Interesting."

On a mountaintop, a curve appeared on Wei Wuxian’s lips. It seemed that waiting until now to battle Ling Chen was undoubtedly a wise decision.

Although it looked like Ling Chen had made considerable progress, he certainly had not been standing still for the past six months.

He was the Sword Devil of this generation and could not possibly lose to Ling Chen.

"Impossible!"

On another peak, the Blood Robe Marquis wore a look of disbelief. He was not unfamiliar with Ling Chen’s strength, and reaching such a level with only eighty percent of his power seemed impossible.

"Impossible? I think he intentionally understated it."

The one speaking was the Free and Unrestrained Marquis. He shook his head with a smile. Others might not be aware of Ling Chen’s background, but as his senior brother, he knew very well about the incident where three Supreme Experts hoisted Ling Chen, so besides Ling Chen himself, no one else likely knew the true extent of his strength.

"Understated it? That’s just monstrous."

The Blood Robe Marquis chuckled bitterly. If what the Free and Unrestrained Marquis said was true, it was simply too monstrous.

After Ling Chen’s battle with Gu Lei, other skirmishes began sporadically as well, but these were below the Youth King level; the Youth Kings had yet to officially commence their sparring.

With two days remaining before the true day of duels, the battles between Youth Kings would not officially start. As for Ling Chen’s fight with Gu Lei earlier, that was a spontaneous challenge and wouldn’t count towards the formal duels.

Ling Chen and Ling Yin found a quiet place to sit. Having defeated Gu Lei, he should deter any further challengers. Now, no one should dare to challenge him again.

Two days passed swiftly in the lively atmosphere.

June 15th, morning.

Including Xuannv, the remaining Youth Kings also arrived.

Upon reaching the summit of Mount Kunlun, Xuannv couldn’t help but glance at Ling Chen’s location. Her gaze seemed rather complicated at that brief glance.

When she was in the depths of Qinling, she hadn’t offered Ling Chen any help, leaving her with a lingering sense of guilt towards him. Seeing Ling Chen now, she suddenly didn’t know how to face him.

On the summit of Mount Kunlun, shadows of people flickered. Not only the current generation of Youth Kings had arrived, but those from the previous generation and all Youth Kings born in nearly the last twenty years had gathered at this summit.

Everyone’s aura was powerful and unparalleled, each like a bright pearl shining with astonishing brilliance.

"The King of Ten Thousand Laws has arrived."

"That’s the Qing Jue King."

"Golden Mace King."

With the appearance of each Youth King, the entire Kunlun Mountain Summit rapidly surged into excitement. Some of these figures hadn’t appeared in their sights for a long time, yet now they all showed up, causing a sensation.

"So many Youth Kings."

Ling Chen’s eyes also couldn’t help but brighten. The gathering of so many Youth Kings here was unprecedented in a hundred years.

What started as a small duel among the Six Kings, a self-initiated sparring among them, had developed into such a grand spectacle.

Amidst this noisy uproar, the King of Taisu stepped out, his figure shifting to appear above the Snow Mountain Lake.

Upon seeing the King of Taisu in midair, the noise at the summit of Mount Kunlun quickly subsided.

"Seeing that most are here, the Kunlun Mountain duel can now commence."

After scanning the crowd, the King of Taisu’s voice echoed throughout the entire summit of Mount Kunlun.

As the King of Taisu’s voice fell, a hubbub erupted among the people. The duel between the six great Youth Kings was finally set to officially begin!

After saying this, the King of Taisu’s gaze shifted to Ling Chen’s side and onto Ling Chen, then his voice spread, "Heavenly Eye King, our last battle was unresolved; today, let us decisively determine the outcome!"

His last battle with Ling Yin ended in a draw, a result he was quite dissatisfied with. Today, being the day of duels, was the moment to continue their unfinished battle from the Jiuliu Conference and decide the victor.

"Brother Ling Chen, I’m going up first."

Ling Yin glanced at Ling Chen beside her. After he nodded in encouragement, she leaped up, landing in midair above the Snow Mountain Lake to face the King of Taisu.

"Heavenly Eye King, King of Taisu."

The eyes of many young talents lit up. The King of Taisu was, without a doubt, the top genius of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao, consecutively reigning as a Youth King for several generations, while the Heavenly Eye King was a newly crowned King and also the youngest Youth King in history, with strength not inferior to the King of Taisu.

This level of confrontation was incomparable to the earlier warm-up battles.

"I’ve been waiting for this moment for six months."

With a gesture of his hands, a Chaotic Portal gradually formed behind the King of Taisu, releasing an extremely profound and majestic aura.

"Perhaps it still won’t be the outcome you desire."

Ling Yin’s small face remained calm. Though her progress over the past six months following Ling Chen through training might not match his, her strength had greatly advanced compared to half a year ago. Especially the three Soul Ghostly Fruits given to her by Ling Chen played a significant role. Now that her Bewildering Heavenly Eye had reached a new level, she had no reason to fear the King of Taisu.
