Chapter 2625 - 2624: This Is the Difference!
Chapter 2625: Chapter 2624: This Is the Difference!
"So what good ideas do you have?" Aidan asked.
Lin Dong didn’t speak, but took a deep breath, and the Inner Qi surged within him. On the Yangxin Sword, a dazzling light bloomed instantly, carrying the unique holiness and sharpness of Light Sword Intent.
Seeing this, Aidan understood.
"You plan to use the Light Sword Intent you just recently grasped? Ha, I thought you had some clever trick."
"Earlier, I also used the Sword of Light to attack that headless battle corpse, but it was completely ineffective. It’s immune to the Sword of Light."
However, Lin Dong didn’t say much.
He moved like an arrow leaving the bowstring, rushing straight towards the headless corpse.
"Bright Slash!" Lin Dong shouted lowly, swinging his long sword, and a brilliant sword light cut through the sky, aiming directly at the heart of the headless corpse.
Where the sword light passed, the space seemed to be purified; the pure power from the Light Sword Intent made the death aura around the headless corpse retreat.
"Boom!" The sword light collided with the headless corpse’s power, exploding with a deafening roar.
The headless corpse trembled violently, and at its chest, a large hole appeared.
That was a light hole pierced through by Lin Dong’s sword!
Seeing this, Aidan’s face changed, exclaiming: "Impossible, how could the Bright Slash be so strong?"
Earlier, he also used the Light Path to attack the headless battle corpse, yet received no reaction at all.
But now Lin Dong’s attack could pierce a hole in the chest of the battle corpse.
Why is this?
Someone at Aidan’s level naturally couldn’t see the uniqueness of Lin Dong’s sword.
Though it was also a Bright Slash, Lin Dong’s Bright Slash incorporated Mental Power.
The ’Sword Move’ belonging to Light Sword Intent contained Lin Dong’s terrifying Mental Power.
That sword not only contained Light Power but also Mental Power that could erase ’will.’
When Lin Dong struck, the Mental Power first erased the battle intention at the chest of the corpse. Without the battle intention, the flesh at its chest became a weakness.
Lin Dong’s Sword of Light could naturally pierce the chest of the headless battle corpse.
At this time, Yun Che said to the Holy Light Lord, "Holy Light Lord, your clan’s younger generation is lacking. I didn’t expect him to defeat the headless battle corpse, but he couldn’t even perceive the essence of Lin Dong’s move."
"It seems his understanding of the Light Path is shallow. He doesn’t even know that other paths can be integrated into the Light Path."
The Holy Light Lord’s face was extremely ugly.
The truth often stings the heart.
The current truth is that their Bright Clan’s youngest Heavenly Realm martial artist is indeed entirely unmatched before Lin Dong.
Comparing the two is like comparing the difference between cloud and mud!
He’s supposed to be the clan’s most promising, youngest, and most excellent Heavenly Realm martial artist. Yet, the gap with others is so great.
The clan even pinned its future on him, hoping he could lead the clan further.
Is this something you can only hope for?
"Shoo-shoo-shoo~~~"
At the moment, Lin Dong stood tall, his long sword bathing in a gentle Holy Light, each swing accompanied by a dazzling glow.
Every time he struck with Bright Slash, the seemingly indestructible body of the headless battle corpse would shed dark fragments, as if the light was gradually eroding the domain of darkness.
Not far away, Aidan tightly gripped the sword hilt also shining with light, his eyes full of unwillingness and doubt.
As a standout of the younger generation from the Bright Clan, he had been immersed in studying the Light Path from a young age, believing that his understanding of Light Power had reached the acme.
Witnessing Lin Dong’s feats, an indescribable urge surged in him, longing to prove himself.
"Hmph, it’s nothing more than some petty trick; a true Bright Slash is beyond his reach?"
Aidan thought to himself, then took a deep breath, his whole body glowing brightly, preparing to unleash his most proud Bright Slash.
However, when his sword light cut through the night sky and slashed towards the headless battle corpse, the anticipated sweeping devastation did not occur.
On the contrary, the headless battle corpse seemed to sense provocation; surrounded by dark Qi, it unexpectedly rebounded Aidan’s Bright Slash entirely.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Aidan felt an irresistible force surge from the sword tip, instantly spreading throughout his body.
His face turned pale, his frame staggered, and eventually he couldn’t support himself, falling to one knee, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, eyes full of disbelief.
"How... how is this possible!? Using the same Bright Slash, why can’t I injure that headless battle corpse a single bit? But he can beat that headless battle corpse, leaving it riddled with holes?"
Aidan’s voice trembled, the pride and confidence within him crumbling at this moment.
Another person outside the Bright Clan using Bright Slash can suppress that headless battle corpse.
But I, using Bright Slash, not only failed to achieve this, I was instead injured by the rebound.
This blow shattered his Tao Heart!
The Holy Light Lord, the Secondary Ancestor of the Bright Clan, quietly stood aside, witnessing all this.
His gaze was complex, with both shock at Lin Dong’s strength and talent and deep disappointment towards Aidan.
As a descendant of the Bright Clan, Aidan’s performance was indeed worrying; he clearly had yet to grasp the true essence of the Light Path.
"Aidan, did you see? Lin Dong’s Bright Slash is not just a display of Light Power, but also integrates Mental Power. Each of his slashes begins by erasing a portion of the battle intention on the corpse. Only by losing battle intention does the body become susceptible to the Bright Slash."
"His Bright Slash, each sword strike, embodies purification and expulsion of the corpse’s ’will’ — a perfect blend of mind and power."
"And you, overly pursue the surface brilliance, seemingly more dazzling than Lin Dong’s sword yet neglect the source of inner power."
The Holy Light Lord’s voice was low and powerful, every word like a heavy hammer pounding on Aidan’s heart.
Aidan stood dumbfounded, muttering: "So that’s how it is."
At this moment, he deeply realized the gap between himself and Lin Dong.
Just then, Lin Dong moved once more, his long sword converging the last trace of Light Power, transforming into a radiant stream of light, piercing straight at the final remaining flesh of the headless battle corpse.
With a rumbling sound, the once unparalleled battle corpse finally, under this pure Light Power, turned to nothingness, leaving only a clear space.
The headless battle corpse was completely vanquished by Lin Dong!
As the headless body dissipated, warm and pure energy spread, nourishing the ancient battlefield.
"Lin Dong, you’ve done very well. It seems appointing you as the team leader was a wise decision," Yun Che’s Secondary Ancestor nodded with approval.
Lin Dong’s performance left the Six Great Second Ancestors speechless.
He’s truly a born leader!
