CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 511: BATTLE AGAINST YE NANTIAN_1

"Great Thousand Sword Array!"

As Ye Nantian bellowed, the blue sword qi became even more solid, and its overwhelming Sword Momentum made the faces of many nearby powerhouses change.

"Half-step Heavenly Extreme Realm!"

An old Grand Master Level Powerhouse looked surprised. He didn’t expect Ye Nantian’s Cultivation to have reached such a level. This Cultivation clearly indicated that he was halfway into the Sky Apex Realm!

SHOOSH! SHOOSH!

The sharp Sword Formation covered an area tens of meters around him, looking turbulent and overwhelmingly strong.

Ye Nantian sneered, slowly raised his palm, and pointed towards Ling Chen from a distance. The sword qi also slowly rotated, aiming its edge directly at Ling Chen.

Feeling the powerful momentum erupting from Ye Nantian, Ling Chen’s palms also slowly formed several seals, and then he declared with a solemn voice, "Ancient Saint King Battle Technique, First Layer!"

As his voice fell, the True Qi within Ling Chen’s body suddenly surged. With it, his momentum rose abruptly, and in an instant, he reached the Grand Master Sixth Layer Realm!

A secret technique to temporarily boost his strength? Observing Ling Chen’s suddenly escalating momentum, Ye Nantian looked slightly surprised, then smirked sinisterly. As the light in his palm flickered, the surrounding sword qi increased in number.

"I will show you with facts that in front of a Half-step Heavenly Extreme Realm expert, all pretenses will crumble into Annihilation!"

"Today, no matter what tricks you have, you will not escape death!"

His stern shout echoed. Ye Nantian’s fingers in his sleeve moved slightly. He then sneered coldly and flipped his sleeve. Suddenly, the Sword Formation, accompanied by a sharp and terrifyingly fierce wind, bombarded Ling Chen like a storm.

Ling Chen’s pupils contracted slightly. His body suddenly disappeared from its spot. Then, at some point, the Treasure Sword in his hand was replaced by the Thunder Shadow Sword, which he swung out as fast as lightning.

Unlike the Red Sky Sword, the Thunder Shadow Sword is faster and consumes less True Qi. The Red Sky Sword, after all, is a Saint-level Treasure Sword. Even if it is old and has only two to three points of its peak power remaining, a Holy Sword is still a Holy Sword. Its True Qi consumption is significantly higher than the Thunder Shadow Sword’s, no matter what.

The Thunder Shadow Sword vibrated, and dense sword qi burst out. Ling Chen’s sword speed was astonishingly fast, quickly shattering the blue sword qi formed by the Sword Formation.

"Your speed is indeed acceptable, but this power is far from enough!" Looking at the Sword Light that was rapidly magnifying in his eyes, Ye Nantian sneered coldly, gripped his Long Sword tightly, and then made a ruthless swing at Ling Chen across the air!

"Divine Gate Killing Sword!"

Ye Nantian fought back forcefully. His Treasure Sword clashed with Ling Chen’s Thunder Shadow Sword. The backlash from the impact made the sword body vibrate continuously. If Ling Chen’s strength had not also been considerable, perhaps this hit alone would have forced the Thunder Shadow Sword from his hand!

Even so, Ling Chen was still blown back several tens of meters. Relying on the resistance of the Thunder Shadow Sword plunged into the ground, he finally steadied his figure.

"I said it before, this time, I will make you, the traitor, completely vanish from the Martial World. I am a man of my word!"

With a single sword strike pushing Ling Chen back, Ye Nantian’s momentum doubled. He swung his sword, its light leaving six afterimages. The six afterimages spread out, blocking all of Ling Chen’s escape routes.

Facing such a ferocious sword attack, Ling Chen also took a deep breath, but his figure showed no signs of retreat. He changed his Sword Techniques, perfectly integrating his Sword Intent, and then a loud shout suddenly echoed in the venue.

"Fish and Dragon Hundred Transformations, Divine Turtle Transformation!"

Ling Chen crossed his hands and assumed a defensive posture. The sword qi converged into a giant turtle beast, protecting an area of ten meters around him.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Continuous collision sounds echoed. The giant turtle image cracked under the relentless, cannon-like bombardment, spider web-like fissures spreading across its surface.

However, all six sword shadows were blocked. Only when the last sword shadow was deflected did the turtle image completely shatter.

He actually blocked it?

Ye Nantian raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised. But then he sneered coldly. Without any pause, he swung another sword, aiming to kill Ling Chen while he had the advantage.

Reversing his grip on the Thunder Shadow Sword, Ling Chen slashed it out horizontally, once again using the Fish and Dragon Hundred Transformations. However, this time, the sword qi coalesced into an eagle that soared towards Ye Nantian.

This move again!

Seeing the sword qi eagle rushing towards him, Ye Nantian sneered coldly, "Do you think the same move will work on me twice?"

In his view, Ling Chen’s sword attack was merely a superficial variation of the same move, hardly worth his concern.

"The same move can still make you uncomfortable!" Ling Chen also sneered back, thrusting forward with unwavering resolve.

Hmph, ridiculous!

A cold light flashed in Ye Nantian’s eyes. In a head-on confrontation, Ling Chen daring to clash with him directly was undoubtedly seeking death.

DANG!

The two Sword Lights collided, sparks flying. Instantly, Ling Chen’s body was propelled backward. However, Ye Nantian remained right in front of him, his Jinghong Sword relentlessly pressing down on Ling Chen’s Thunder Shadow Sword. Sparks flew as both figures shot back together.

"Whether it’s a joke or not, that’s still hard to say!"

Suddenly, while Ling Chen’s right hand parried Ye Nantian’s attack, his left hand drew the Red Sky Sword from its sword scabbard. Then, under numerous shocked gazes, he wielded both swords, demonstrating his ability to focus on two tasks at once. His right hand blocked, while his left hand swung his sword, abruptly slashing towards Ye Nantian’s abdomen.

Facing Ling Chen’s sudden sword attack, Ye Nantian was also taken aback. His robe suddenly billowed, and his chest first contracted then abruptly puffed out. A majestic force, like a heavenly covering blanket, surged forth, and Ling Chen, being closest, bore the brunt of it!

Ling Chen continuously stepped back for a good while before finally dispelling the force. At this time, a suffocating sensation emanated from his chest.

Looking coldly at the rapidly retreating Ling Chen, Ye Nantian slowly lowered his head to inspect the torn robe on his chest. The fabric was rent open, revealing his chest. At this moment, a conspicuous sword mark was visible, and trickles of fresh blood were already oozing from the wound.

"Heh, good. Very good," looking at the sword mark, Ye Nantian’s face turned completely cold. "After all these years, you are the first junior to leave a sword mark on me." An overbearing murderous aura gradually spread from his body.

"Since you were able to reach this point, then today, this Sect Master will let you witness the true methods of a Half-step Heavenly Extreme Realm expert!"
