CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 272: THE TRUE STRENGTH OF THE SWORD GOD

With his head full of black hair fluttering in the wind, Luo Chen’s figure appeared exceptionally resolute. He tightly gripped the Divine Fire Sword, the legendary Divine Weapon in his hands seemed alive, leaping with his will. Without pause, he leapt past the girl in black and turned to unleash an angry sword strike that split the heavens!

This sword seemed to gather all the power between heaven and earth, the cyan light scattered, carrying a majestic wind pressure and endless dominance, cutting down towards the girl in black. The gale howled all around, sand and stones flew, the entire forest seemed to plunge into a chaotic world instantly. Sword Qi crisscrossed, seemingly tearing everything apart.

Facing this earth-shattering strike, the girl in black remained icy and composed, without a hint of fear. Watching as the sword strike came towards her, she calmly altered her sword posture, the short sword in her hand directly blocking the incoming sword strike. At this moment, her gaze was steadfast and freezing, as if no attack could shake her resolve.

Luo Chen’s expression changed slightly, not believing the adversary oblivious to the power of the heavens-splitting strike. In fact, from her icy eyes, he couldn’t discern any emotional fluctuation. This birthed a doubt in his heart; could this girl in black truly withstand his sword?

However, the heavens-splitting sword strike had already been unleashed, like an arrow no longer capable of being retrieved. Cyan light intertwined with blue light accompanied by swirling wind, clashing fiercely in the air. At this moment, the whole world seemed to freeze, only the two Sword Qi in the air dueling each other.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening noise, dust billowed, countless dead branches and leaves were startled into the air. The ground suddenly bore alarming sword scars, as if torn apart by Sword Qi. Yet as the dust settled, the girl in black remained unharmed, a few meters away, the crystal blue short sword still perfectly held in her hand.

Luo Chen was stunned. His sword-holding hand trembled as he stared in disbelief at the girl before him. The Divine Fire Sword, imbued with all his power, couldn’t harm the opponent in the least? Who exactly was this girl in black? His heart was filled with shock and doubt.

The girl in black gazed coldly at him, her expression even more frigid. A freezing aura emanated from her body, seemingly dispelling all enthusiasm and warmth. The swirling dust was dispersed by her icy aura and froze into ice crystals, falling to the ground. This scene left Luo Chen even more incredulous and shocked.

The girl in black moved, transforming into a shadow rushing towards Luo Chen. Her speed was so swift it almost left no time to react. Luo Chen took a deep breath, concentrating to respond. He knew this battle was a severe test of his strength and will. But he was also confident that if he gave his all, he could definitely defeat this formidable opponent!

Suddenly, Luo Chen felt as if struck by lightning, his entire body quivering. His eyes widened, facing a terrifying blue sword light coming at him instantly! That light was sharp and cold, carrying intense killing intent, seeming to slice him in half.

He fled awkwardly to the left, but the sword light still grazed his waist. Threads tore and flew up, his clothes sliced by the sword light, then frozen stiff mid-air by the icy force. Luo Chen’s heart tightened, realizing he faced an extremely powerful opponent.

The girl in black let out a low hum, granting Luo Chen no respite. Her sword swings continued relentlessly, sword lights infused with powerful chill charging like gales. Luo Chen was aghast, finding himself entirely passive, only able to dodge.

"Damn it, what’s with this woman? Her soul energy boundless?" he muttered angrily as he evaded sword lights. Yet the adversary showed no fatigue, instead seeming to grow stronger with each battle.

The girl in black, like throwing stones heedlessly, launched nonstop external attacks. Luo Chen, exhausted from fleeing, felt like a mouse teased by a cat, unable to defend himself. He felt frustrated and angry, yet also a stubborn unwillingness to give up rose within him.

Suddenly, the girl in black drew back a sword, leaping forward. Her hands rotated the sword, unleashing a cylindrical blade light! The blade light hovered a few inches above the ground, freezing everything it touched. Luo Chen, just landing, hadn’t the time to turn when a shocking killing intent struck from behind!

"Damn it! You inconsiderate witch! You think I’m just a sickly cat?" Luo Chen gritted his teeth, resolution and courage welling in his heart. He decided to stop running and face this formidable opponent boldly.

Ignoring consequences, he turned and leapt into the air! At the same time, the Divine Fire Sword suddenly left his hand, shooting towards the unguarded face of the girl in black! This sword carried all his anger and determination, seemingly returning all humiliation to the girl in black.

However, the sword light from the girl in black still swept past his legs. Pain surged throughout Luo Chen, and in mid-air, a brilliant blood flower burst forth. Quickly, it was frozen by ice crystals, sizzling to the ground. Luo Chen heavily fell to the ground but endured the pain, gazing at the girl in black about to be pierced by the Divine Fire Sword.

Despite severe injuries, Luo Chen’s eyes shone with determination. He knew he might not win this battle, but he certainly wouldn’t give up easily. With actions, he would show the girl in black: even in dire situations, he had the courage and strength to resist!

A trace of surprise flickered in the girl’s eyes, evidently not expecting Luo Chen’s determined counterattack. Her figure flashed, deftly evading the Divine Fire Sword’s attack, landing steadily on the ground.
