Chapter 1503: Chapter 1502: Sword Prison Spirit

Sword Prison, the eighteenth layer.

When Ling Chen stepped out from the Wind Eye, what greeted his eyes was a vast, boundless expanse of land.

This region was incredibly vast, desolate, ancient, and exuded a faint wild aura.

On the deep-colored ground, there were densely packed giant swords inserted, which from a distance, looked like a forest.

So many giant swords gathered together, releasing an astonishing aura, one that could be felt even from afar, capturing the heart with a chilling Sword Light.

This place was akin to an Asura sword arena.

The eighteenth layer of the Sword Prison, undoubtedly, was an untouched forbidden domain.

Ling Chen glanced around and couldn’t help but feel emotional, for the land before him was an entirely unknown territory.

"The last layer, who will be the Gatekeeper?"

Walking into the Giant Sword Forest, Ling Chen felt a surge of emotion. Thunder Hidden, Master Gongben, God of Ninjas... these peak figures of Yingzhou appeared one after another, each being the pinnacle in this land.

After them, who would guard this final layer of the Sword Prison?

With a tense mind, Ling Chen walked step by step deeper into the forest, and as he ventured further, the chilling Sword Light surrounding him grew increasingly intense.

Crash!

Suddenly, the giant swords ahead began to tremble for no reason, and in the center of the forest, multicolored Sword Lights started to wriggle and then converged at a single focal point.

Ling Chen’s pupils slightly contracted, and in his vision, at this focal point, as the Sword Light fused and deformed, there seemed to be a blurry silhouette gradually coalescing!

"What is this?"

Ling Chen looked with astonishment at the silhouette condensed from Sword Light, only to find that at the moment this figure formed, multicolored lights released from every direction like meteors, streaking across the sky, then pouring into the silhouette!

With so much Sword Light infused, the figure quickly grew and solidified, yet even so, its face remained unseen, as it had no face, resembling more a ghost.

"Sword Prison Spirit?"

Four words flashed in Ling Chen’s mind — this name he gave because the silhouette before him had absorbed the power of almost the entire Giant Sword Forest. It was no longer the mental projection of some big figure but a spirit formed from the accumulated power of the entire eighteenth layer!

Whoosh!

At the moment these words crossed Ling Chen’s mind, the silhouette in midair suddenly made a swift move; its speed was astonishing, and as the body darted forward, a sharp Long Sword condensed in its hand, striking fiercely towards Ling Chen!

This sword was extraordinarily fierce, leaving a deeply marked imprint in the sky. Even from quite a distance, Ling Chen felt an unstoppable, terrifying aura emanating from it!

"Single Sword Style!"

From this sword, Ling Chen sensed an intention almost identical to that of One-Blade Ghost’s earlier encounter — it was the swordsmanship of that ghostly figure, a single fatal strike, swift and without trace!

Without hesitation, Ling Chen counter-gripped the Thunder Sound Sword and launched a Reverse Slash forward.

Clang!

The clash of two swords resounded like an ear-splitting metallic explosion, Ling Chen felt a sharp sound wave penetrating his ears, instantly depriving him of hearing. The Thunder Sound Sword was bent to its extreme, seemingly about to snap — after reaching its limit, Ling Chen’s body was catapulted into the air, flying back hundreds of meters.

And in the moment Ling Chen was struck back, the Sword Prison Spirit moved again, this time altering its technique, as it drew another Treasure Sword from its abdomen, unveiling Twin Swords. The Sword Prison Spirit employed the Two Sword Technique, crossing its swords in a scissor-like formation, unleashing a Sword Light fiercely towards Ling Chen!

"What?"

Ling Chen recognized this as Master Gongben’s Two Sword Technique, never expecting the Sword Prison Spirit to wield Two Sword Technique, mirroring Gongben’s almost identically, like a second Master Gongben.

No time to ponder, Ling Chen too used his Twin Swords, voluminous thunder light flashed through the sword’s body, then unleashed a crossing Sword Light, colliding with the Sword Prison Spirit’s crossing Sword Light.

"Double Swallow Slash!"

After Ling Chen resisted the crossing Sword Light, the Sword Prison Spirit’s twin swords simultaneously launched an attack, two Sword Light resembling swallows shot forth, carving an impressive arc in the air.

This was the Ju Ancestor’s technique!

Ling Chen’s eyes brightened, as if understanding something, his demeanor turned grave, "Could it be that this Sword Prison Spirit knows all the Gatekeeper’s moves?"

First, the Single Sword Style of One-Blade Ghost, then the Two Sword Technique of Master Gongben, now the Sword Prison Spirit executed Ju Ancestor’s killer move!

It seemed this Sword Prison Spirit truly knew the moves of all Gatekeepers!

But even after realizing the situation, despite the surprise, Ling Chen was not overly worried, as he had witnessed all these moves — regardless of how the spirit switched or merged them, Ling Chen felt no fear.

Yet, in the next moment, Ling Chen realized he’d underestimated it.

In his sight, the Sword Prison Spirit ceased attacking, suddenly its body started to squirm like a mass of flowing sand, and in Ling Chen’s astonished gaze, a twisted hand emerged forcefully from the spirit’s back, followed by more hands bursting out, until it possessed a total of eight hands, like a giant spider.

Each hand grasped a sword — Long Sword, short sword, Tachi, Small Tachi, Wo Knife — every sword was familiar to Ling Chen, clearly each was meant for executing the previous Gatekeepers’ varied techniques.

Faced with this sight, Ling Chen was utterly shocked.

"Is this a joke?"

Ling Chen couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, if this Sword Prison Spirit was just one person with two hands, it would still be a fair fight, but now it had eight hands — how was he supposed to fight this?
