Chapter 203: Ling Chuxi Broke Through!
Each of them held on to their own swords. However, a trace of blood trickled down from a corner of Ling Chuxi’s lips. The difference between Battle Qi Level 7 and Level 8 was so vast that even when she found the weakness in her opponent’s strike, it was still difficult to withstand the huge force of its blow.
‘Will I lose? Could it be that even all of her efforts would be unable to compensate for the difference of Battle Qi levels between the two of us?’ Ling Chuxi’s hand was trembling slightly. The move earlier on had used up all of the Battle Qi within her body. Her meridians were emptied out.
“Just admit defeat. You are unable to withstand my next strike,” said Chu Jianyi. He remained calm, but an understanding and sympathetic look could be seen in the midst of his expressionless gaze that resembled the waters of a thousand-year-old lake. She was actually able to find the weakness in his strike. This was something that no one, at least those of whom were at the same level as he, had managed to achieve.
If the two of them possessed the same level of Battle Qi, who would emerge victorious? Chu Jianyi could not help but wonder. However, he immediately threw out this thought. ‘I, Chu Jianyi, will never lose!’
Chu Jianyi raised his No Edge Sword once more and caused a huge wave of suppression to rush towards Ling Chuxi. Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in Ling Chuxi’s heart. The wind flowing around her became so clear that it was as if the rhythm of the wind was being imprinted onto her mind. Within her empty meridians, a tinge of warmth began to flow quietly, slowly turning into threads of pure and incomparable Battle Qi, which then converged into a stream before gushing forth in a torrent.
‘Breakthrough! To actually breakthrough at such a moment!’ thought Ling Chuxi to herself in shock. These were the signs of a breakthrough. Under such huge suppression and pressure, she had actually managed to touch the fringes of a breakthrough.
Thundercloud Battle Qi—with its astounding might of thunder, was the kind of qi that burst through the clouds. It was the type of qi held in high regard in this world. There was absolutely no other kind of Battle Qi that could compare against this supreme variant. Such a suppressive situation was the best opportunity for the Thundercloud Battle Qi to breakthrough.
Faced with such an enormous suppressive energy, the crowd around the ring once again stepped backwards. Even with their cultivation, they were unable to withstand such suppression usually. However, under this kind of suppression, Ling Chuxi’s Battle Qi was rushing through her meridians like a torrent. Instead of crumbling under the weight of the suppression, on the contrary, Ling Chuxi became stronger and it gave her a sense of boundless and infinite strength.
‘Really now?’ An odd smile appeared on Ling Chuxi’s face. Just a little bit more and she would be able to breakthrough. With just a little more suppression, her Thundercloud Battle Qi would be able to breakthrough.
“All right then, take this attack.” Chu Jianyi looked at Ling Chuxi in admiration and nodded, totally unaware of the earth-shattering changes happening within her.
Finally, Chu Jianyi used his strongest move. Under the silent sword stance, the area surrounding the whole fighting ring also became deathly silent. Everyone’s mind went blank as they felt only a deep sense of terror.
If it were anyone else in the ring, they would have been so terrified that they would have thrown down their swords and admitted defeat long ago under the duress of the boundless suppression caused by this strike. However, at this moment, Ling Chuxi gave a smile of delight.
A clear and crisp sound that was akin to a dragon cry awoke everyone from their states of blankness, but they immediately fell into another state, the kind containing chaos caused by shock.
The Luo Chen Sword emitted a white light that pierced through the sky and with a sharp sound, the Luo Chen Sword once again clashed against the No Edge Sword. Chu Jianyi’s calm rock-steady expression ebbed slightly to reveal a hint of shock. Then, a huge force of power surged over towards him and it made Chu Jianyi’s foot sway to one side. He took a step back, then another a step back, and yet another once more. Finally, he flew out of the fighting ring and fell heavily to the ground.
In the fighting ring, Ling Chuxi stood tall and proud as a mighty Battle Qi emanated from her body.
“Level 8… Battle Qi Level 8!” Indeed, Ling Chuxi had actually broken through to Battle Qi Level 8 in this battle!
