Chapter 212 - 153: I Gave You a Chance, but You’re Useless

Chapter 212: Chapter 153: I Gave You a Chance, but You’re Useless

But she quickly composed herself.

’It’s fine, it’s fine...’

’Ling Shuangzi still hasn’t drawn his Black Dragon Treasure Sword.’

’He’s been cultivating that Sword Qi for a full nine years.’

’Observing the mountains and rivers by day, the stars by night.’

’The myriad phenomena of the heavens, all contained within a single sword...’

’He still has a killing move he hasn’t used!’

"Heh."

Chu Shanhe let out a soft laugh, watching everything with a dismissive air.

’Very good!’

’This is the kind of power a True Essence Sixth Layer cultivator should have!’

’Momentum building? Killing moves? In the face of absolute power, they’re all bullshit.’

...

Ling Shuangzi coughed up blood, nearly knocked senseless by that single punch. Not only had the clothes on his upper body been blown to shreds, but his sternum had been shattered as well. The slightest movement sent waves of excruciating pain through him.

His heart seethed with fury, his face a mask of disbelief.

’I was actually sent flying?’

Shock, rage, humiliation, madness, fear... A storm of emotions raged within him.

’If that hadn’t been a fist, but a sword, wouldn’t I be dead already?’

’What kind of joke is this?!’

Almost without thinking, Ling Shuangzi flipped to his feet. His eyes turned pitch-black, cold and terrifying, as one hand shot to the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to draw it.

But then something even more terrifying happened!

The very instant his hand reached for the hilt, another hand, wreathed in terrifying flames, moved with impossible speed to beat him to it, clamping down on the sword’s hilt.

A formidable, terrifying figure appeared before him in a flash, as if teleporting.

BOOM! An intense wave of heat blasted toward him, shocking his body into stillness.

A pair of eyes filled with mockery.

A terrifying aura, blazing like a molten behemoth...

Everything assaulted Ling Shuangzi’s mind, making his pupils shrink in disbelief.

’How could this be?’

’Fast!’

’Too fast!’

’So fast I couldn’t even react!’

’My opponent had already appeared in front of me, and his large hand was already holding down my Black Dragon Treasure Sword...’

’He didn’t even try for a sneak attack. This was complete and utter contempt.’

For the first time, terror filled Ling Shuangzi’s heart.

’Facing Chen Xuan, I don’t even have the right to draw my sword?’

"Tell me, are you useless or what? I give you a chance, and you can’t even take it. It was bad enough you couldn’t block my punch, but now I’m letting you draw your sword, and you can’t even do that."

Chen Xuan stared intently at Ling Shuangzi with his cold, black eyes and said flatly, "Besides, what’s so great about this piece of junk that’s worth drawing!"

KRA-KRA-KRAK!

BOOM!

His five fingers suddenly tightened with terrifying force, flames surging.

It was as if a colossal beast had suddenly awakened. Primordial Barbaric Energy flooded his body, and he actually squeezed the Black Dragon Treasure Sword so hard that it emitted a KRA-KRA-KRAK sound, its surface rapidly turning red-hot and starting to crack.

The array patterns inlaid on it rapidly disintegrated and crumbled, and even the ground beneath was scorched red and began to melt from the terrifying heat.

Utter terror now consumed Ling Shuangzi’s heart.

’This... What kind of horrifying power is this!’

’He can crush my Black Dragon Treasure Sword with his bare hands!’

’How the fuck is that possible?!’

The surrounding crowd stared wide-eyed, expressions of shock on their faces.

At first, they hadn’t understood why Ling Shuangzi didn’t draw his sword.

But only now did they realize that Chen Xuan had already pinned Ling Shuangzi’s Black Dragon Treasure Sword in place. They could even see clearly how, under Chen Xuan’s grip, the entire Black Dragon Treasure Sword was rapidly cracking, glowing red, and spewing countless sparks.

"How is that possible?"

"The Black Dragon Treasure Sword... The Black Dragon Treasure Sword is cracking!"

"Senior Brother Ling Shuangzi’s Black Dragon Treasure Sword is being crushed!"

"This is impossible!"

The crowd was horrified.

Han Jiangxue abruptly shot a glare at Chu Shanhe, her phoenix eyes narrowed in a mixture of shock and rage. The aura around her roiled uncontrollably.

"What are you looking at?"

Chu Shanhe’s tone was light. "Didn’t we agree? Win or lose, no holding grudges. Or can you not afford to lose?"

"You dare to set me up?"

Han Jiangxue said, enraged.

"Set me up with what? It was a fair match, one you agreed to yourself. And you say I set you up? Are you still dreaming?"

Chu Shanhe’s expression was placid, showing he had no intention of humoring her.

"You!"

Han Jiangxue was so angry her body trembled, leaving her speechless.

KRAK!

Finally, with a loud CRACK, the Black Dragon Treasure Sword in Ling Shuangzi’s grasp was brutally crushed to pieces by Chen Xuan’s boundless and terrifying strength. Fragments imbued with chaotic, violent power shot out in all directions as a formidable, terrifying aura erupted like a fiery tornado.

And from beginning to end, Ling Shuangzi had been powerless to resist.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to resist, but that his spirit had been completely overwhelmed by Chen Xuan. He didn’t dare to resist, nor could he.

Chen Xuan firmly suppressed him with his overwhelmingly superior Cultivation.

Combined with his Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2) and Primordial Barbaric Energy, his aura reached its peak, manifesting in Ling Shuangzi’s mind as a terrifying fire demon. This threw Ling Shuangzi’s thoughts, True Essence, and aura into chaos, allowing Chen Xuan to lead him by the nose from start to finish.

This was the utter domination of a higher dimension over a lower one.

As Chen Xuan crushed the Black Dragon Treasure Sword with his bare hands, Ling Shuangzi spat out a mouthful of crimson blood on the spot. With a miserable groan, his body was once again sent flying backward.

Like a cannonball, he crashed heavily into the distance with a BOOM.

He had painstakingly nurtured his Sword Qi for nine years. He had thought that the day it was unsheathed, it would illuminate the world, shake the heavens and the earth, and force countless people to submit. But he had never, ever imagined...

...that his Sword Qi would never even have the chance to be unsheathed.

Chen Xuan had crushed his entire treasured sword to pieces right then and there.
