Chapter 1376 - 1375: Ancient Sword Stream

Chapter 1376: Chapter 1375: Ancient Sword Stream

Liusheng Bushou was completely defeated.

"There’s no chance now."

Hong Ye shook her head. She had thought that Liusheng Bushou had a sliver of a chance because Ling Chen was severely injured. Under such circumstances, Liusheng Bushou might have a chance, or perhaps he could take advantage of a gap, but now it seemed that Liusheng Bushou basically had no chance at all.

"Liusheng Bushou, your strength is far inferior to that of Beichuan Ye."

Ling Chen held the Thunder Sound Sword, pointing it diagonally at the ground. He looked at Liusheng Bushou and said calmly, "You can leave; I won’t kill you."

"What a joke."

Liusheng Bushou’s expression turned sullen, his forehead veins bulged in anger, and at the same time, he tightened his grip on the Ogre Slayer. "Don’t be so arrogant. Is my strength something you can judge?"

"Take this blow from me, and I will concede to you!"

With that, Liusheng Bushou bent down like a hawk locking onto its prey, the purple lightning on his back extending outward, forming a pair of thunder sword wings.

Liusheng Bushou’s aura was completely retracted, seeming even weaker than before, but anyone with keen eyesight could tell this was the calm before the storm.

"Ancient Sword Stream · Undying Bird!"

With a loud shout, Liusheng Bushou dashed to within ten meters of Ling Chen. At that moment, he suddenly slashed with the Ogre Slayer in his hand. As the blade light shot out, the two thunder sword wings behind him also suddenly flew out, traveling alongside the blade light. As the blade light moved forward, it rapidly twisted and deformed, eventually turning into the shape of an Undying Bird, fiercely charging at Ling Chen!

At the moment when Liusheng Bushou charged, Ling Chen moved as well, dashing towards Liusheng Bushou. In a brief moment, Ling Chen swung out three consecutive sword strikes, each strike like a lunar wheel, cutting fiercely.

Bang!

On one side was the thunderous Undying Bird; on the other, three lunar wheel-like sword qi. Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, they collided fiercely.

As the two attacks crashed together, the Void trembled, and the entire Fish Dragon Sect creaked, seemingly unable to withstand the blow from both competitors.

Crack!

Under this violent clash, Liusheng Bushou’s Undying Bird blade arc suddenly shattered. Ling Chen’s three swords had all struck at the junction of the thunder sword wings and the blade light, the weak point. That overbearing sharpness immediately tore the Undying Bird apart.

"Liusheng Bushou’s blade move has been broken!"

In Hong Ye’s eyes flashed a trace of surprise, yet it wasn’t unexpected. However, she felt that Liusheng Bushou’s deadly move shouldn’t have been so easily dismantled with such little power.

Just as the Undying Bird blade light was being dismantled, Liusheng Bushou suddenly abandoned the blade qi, melding with the blade itself. He merged with the shattered Undying Bird blade light, condensing into a bright silver blade arc, striking towards Ling Chen.

"What?"

Hong Ye was greatly shocked.

This was the true essence of Liusheng Bushou’s strike.

At this moment, Liusheng Bushou gathered all his power into this single point, like an ancient assassin, sacrificing himself for righteousness. It was his life’s strongest cut, drawn under Ling Chen’s pressure where he pushed the limits of his blade way. With inflated self-confidence, Liusheng Bushou believed that if Beichuan Ye were here, he could defeat him with one strike.

"Such a powerful man-blade unity."

Longyuan True Immortal’s face changed as he recognized Liusheng Bushou’s realm of blade way, where man follows blade, becoming one with it. The opponent had combined this advanced realm with his ancient blade techniques to exert his full strength.

It was like someone who originally had only one hundred percent power, but his force increased to one hundred and fifty percent.

Yet Ling Chen’s eyes showed no change in expression. Only when the Undying Bird, which Liusheng Bushou had transformed into, crashed down did Ling Chen raise the Thunder Sound Sword in his hand. The Thunder Sound Sword issued a fierce vibrating sound, evoking the appearance of a Thunder Snake, and then terrifying Slaughter Sword Intent burst from his brow center, directly slicing downward with one sword!

Clang!

As the light of the Undying Bird blade struck Ling Chen, the light of sword and blade filled everyone’s view.

Ripple waves appeared before Hong Ye’s eyes. Through the dazzling light, she caught sight of the confrontation. She saw that where Liusheng Bushou’s blade edge met, Ling Chen’s sword struck it precisely, and under Ling Chen’s forceful blow, the Ogre Slayer in Liusheng Bushou’s hands bent, its bearing capacity about to exceed its limit.

Boom!

Ling Chen’s sword pressed firmly against Liusheng Bushou’s Ogre Slayer, cutting into the latter’s body. Almost instantly, Liusheng Bushou spat blood, his chest caving with a large hole, his body shot backwards forcefully.

The victory had been decided!

Seeing Liusheng Bushou, now completely losing combat capability, everyone understood that the outcome was now clear.

Witnessing this, Hong Ye was greatly shaken. Indeed, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. Even an injured Ling Chen isn’t someone Liusheng Bushou could shake.

"Young Master!"

The Ghost Warriors looked shocked one by one. To them, Liusheng Bushou had never lost to his peers of the younger generation. Unexpectedly, today he suffered such a crushing defeat at Ling Chen’s hands.

They hurriedly rushed forward, lifting Liusheng Bushou up. The latter, having taken a sword strike from Ling Chen, continuously spewed blood, clearly suffering a grave wound, his internal organs severely affected and shattered.

"Daring to go against our Liusheng Family, Ling Chen, unless you hide forever, wait for our Liusheng Family’s retribution!"

Liusheng Bushou’s expression was grim, but he stood firm despite the defeat. Ling Chen might have reached Yingzhou, but he was not in the Nine Provinces Land. For Liusheng Bushou’s defeat doesn’t equate to the entire Liusheng Family’s defeat. Ling Chen had obstructed the Liusheng Family’s actions to conquer the nearby seas and was bold enough to capture Hong Ye, creating deep enmity with the Liusheng Family.

"You probably misunderstand."

Ling Chen’s eyes shifted slightly, then he looked at the nearby Hong Ye and said flatly, "Hong Ye followed me willingly as my servant. I didn’t force her. If she wishes to leave with you, she can do so now."

"Hong Ye, is what he said true?"

Liusheng Bushou’s pupils narrowed as he too looked at Hong Ye.

Upon hearing this, Hong Ye’s pretty face slightly sank. She couldn’t help silently cursing Ling Chen for being cunning. If she returned with Liusheng Bushou now, even if she got back to the Liu Sheng Family safely, she’d be marked with disgrace, and everyone would consider it a family shame. The future she faced could be painfully uncertain.

Even if she wanted to escape the servant status and Ling Chen’s control, it definitely wouldn’t be now.
