CHAPTER 606: CHAPTER 606: SHARPNESS INTENT REALM

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kuang’s face turned ashen.

The defeat of his own disciple in such an overwhelming manner, combined with the irrefutable mockery, naturally did not make for a good look.

"Waste!"

Zhang Kuang glared fiercely at Qin Hu.

Qin Hu could only retreat to one side with a wry smile on his face.

How could he have known that Ling Chen was so formidable?

At the third level of the Palace Mansion Realm, he not only mastered a mid-grade King Spirit Technique, but his Spiritual Power was also incredibly strong!

He truly was no match for him!

Although he did not wield the Holy Body Secret Technique, wasn’t it the same for Ling Chen?

Therefore, it was simply impossible for him to defeat Ling Chen!

"Pei Yijian, you’re up!"

Zhang Kuang called out to a Cultivator on the right rear.

"Senior Brother Zhang, this isn’t quite right, is it?"

Pei Yijian, however, demurred.

He was at the early sixth level of the Palace Mansion Realm and also an inner disciple of the Star Pavilion.

Although Ling Chen was a Purple Robe disciple of the Burning Flame Sect with equal status, it still felt like bullying the weak!

He was older than Ling Chen.

Even though Ling Chen’s cultivation wasn’t weak, in his eyes, it wasn’t nearly enough to threaten him!

"Stop the nonsense, get up there now!"

Zhang Kuang roared angrily.

Seeing Zhang Kuang lose his temper, Pei Yijian hurriedly nodded and then leaped out.

"What the heck, is this a gang-up?"

"This Star Pavilion, they have no shame at all, do they?"

"A sixth-level Palace Mansion Realm fighting a third-level Palace Mansion Realm? Can they really bring themselves to do it?"

"Alas, this battle, regardless of the outcome, Star Pavilion will lose all face!"

...

Many Cultivators were filled with indignant righteousness.

It was just too much bullying.

To actually send a sixth-level Cultivator to fight!

Seeing this, Chu Xiao smiled faintly and said, "It’s fine. Let Pei Yijian fight!"

Defeating a fourth-level Palace Mansion Realm was nothing.

This was far from Ling Chen’s peak.

Only by defeating Pei Yijian would Ling Chen truly shake the Star Pavilion!

"What?!"

Hearing Chu Xiao’s words, almost everyone was stupefied.

If it weren’t for the robe on Chu Xiao, they would think Chu Xiao was definitely from the Star Pavilion!

Who would do such a thing to their own junior brother?

"Did you hear? Pei Yijian, just go ahead and make your move! This Ling Chen, he is a true genius; maybe, you are no match for him either? Don’t you love sparring with people?"

Zhang Kuang said coldly.

Ling Chen also looked at Chu Xiao with a hint of confusion in his heart.

What the heck was Chu Xiao doing, it was obviously intentional to mess with him!

Could it be he wanted him to fall at the hands of the Star Pavilion Cultivators?

But even if he died at the hands of Cultivators of the Star Pavilion, what good would that do him?

Ye Fentian coveted his Emperor’s Inheritance!

Would Ye Fentian benefit from his death?

But when the arrow is on the bow, one must shoot.

If he did not accept the challenge, he would likely give Ye Fentian even more excuses to deal with him.

In the Blue-clothed Disciple assessment, he displayed strength enough to defeat someone at the early sixth level of the Palace Mansion Realm.

So, this battle was unavoidable!

"Young Master Ling, be careful!"

Pei Yijian, knowing that the battle had to take place, could only remind Ling Chen.

"Okay."

Ling Chen nodded.

In the standoff between the two men, there was less of the tension and hostility of a drawn sword or a drawn bow.

It felt more like a sparring session between brothers.

This scene left the audience filled with puzzlement.

The Burning Flame Sect and the Star Pavilion were not on good terms at all!

How could there be such a friendly atmosphere?

Pei Yijian’s expression became solemn.

A sense of battle intent started to rise from his body.

His right hand slowly clenched, and a silver Longsword appeared.

"Mid-grade King Spiritual Weapon!"

Feeling the aura of the silver Longsword, many Cultivators watching grew stern.

"Young Master Ling, don’t blame me, I’m used to giving my all when I make a move!"

Pei Yijian transmitted his message.

"Understood."

Ling Chen responded via transmission.

Although Pei Yijian’s cultivation was slightly weaker than Su Hong’s, what was different was that Pei Yijian had been at the sixth level for a long time.

The methods might not be weaker than Su Hong’s.

Because normally, sixth-layer Palace Mansion Realm cultivators have mastered Sword Intent!

This is a realm that transcends Sword Energy.

Its power is even more terrifying.

Then, Ling Chen sheathed his longsword and similarly switched to a middle-grade King Spiritual Weapon.

"It seems that you are highly valued in the Burning Flame Sect!"

Pei Yijian’s eyes narrowed.

Middle-grade King Spiritual Weapons are generally not bestowed upon cultivators in the third layer of the Palace Mansion Realm.

"Be careful!"

Pei Yijian’s body shook, and terrifying Spiritual Power swept out, instantly suppressing Ling Chen’s aura of Spiritual Power.

He is at the early stage of the sixth-layer Palace Mansion Realm!

In terms of Spiritual Power, Ling Chen is naturally inferior.

Even with the Golden Palace’s boost, he could at most make up for the difference of two layers of Spiritual Power.

And yet, there is more than a two-layer discrepancy in their cultivation levels.

"Undying Star Hand Seal!"

Pei Yijian slashed out, activating nine streaks of Sword Qi, followed by the emergence of an enormous Hand Seal.

The Undying Star Hand Seal can be executed with either Sword Qi or Sword Energy!

The same King Spirit Technique, in the hands of Pei Yijian, was far more terrifying, at least two levels stronger than what Qin Hu had previously used!

"How terrifying!"

Everyone watched the sky-covering enormous Hand Seal with shock and awe in their eyes.

"Green Lotus Blossoms!"

Ling Chen’s face was also solemn.

Once again, he employed the second move of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

Another delicately beautiful green lotus bloomed.

This time, he did not dare to be careless and directly invoked a trace of Green Lotus Bloodline Power.

The green lotus had a faint trace of blood color that flickered in and out.

"Boom!"

The enormous Hand Seal and the green lotus collided in the sky with a thunderous impact.

A series of sounds erupted in the sky.

Like the thunder before a torrential rainstorm.

Moments later, the green lotus and the enormous Hand Seal annihilated each other completely.

"What?!"

Pei Yijian’s expression changed slightly.

Even though he had the advantage in Spiritual Power, he didn’t manage to gain the upper hand.

However, he did not sense the presence of Sword Intent in Ling Chen’s attack.

This meant that Ling Chen still had other trump cards.

"Can it be?"

The observing cultivators were also extremely shocked.

Pei Yijian, a sixth-layer Palace Mansion Realm cultivator wielding a middle-grade King Spirit Technique, was unable to best Ling Chen?

"What kind of methods did this boy use?"

Zhang Kuang’s face was filled with disbelief.

He truly couldn’t understand how Ling Chen did it.

"How can this be?"

Even Chu Xiao, who knew of Ling Chen’s astonishing strength, could not comprehend it.

A look of incredulity spread across his face.

"Young Master Ling, you truly are worthy of being a Purple Robe disciple of the Burning Flame Sect!"

Pei Yijian praised.

"But I also have a trump card!"

Pei Yijian’s eyes brimmed with a fighting spirit as he unleashed the Undying Star Hand Seal again!

This time, he directly added the Sword Intent he had comprehended—the Sharpness Intent Realm!

With the boost from Sword Intent, the power of the Undying Star Hand Seal increased yet again.

"This child is definitely doomed!"

Zhang Kuang sneered coldly.

He didn’t believe Ling Chen had any more tricks up his sleeve!

Sensing the unique intent within the enormous Hand Seal, Ling Chen slightly smiled as another green lotus unfolded.

This time, the blood glow on the green lotus was even more intense.

"Boom!"

The enormous Hand Seal and the green lotus collided once again.

Both attacks were entwined in a battle of strength.

Soon, the green lotus showed signs of collapse and was shattered by the enormous Hand Seal.

The Hand Seal continued to press down toward Ling Chen.

"Undying Star Body!"

Ling Chen immediately activated the third layer of the Undying Star Body.

Facing such an attack, he couldn’t afford to be the slightest bit careless.

At the same time, he slashed out nine Green Lotus Sword Qi to weaken the power of the enormous Hand Seal.

With the prior consumption by the green lotus, the power of the Hand Seal was significantly reduced.

Further diminished by the Green Lotus Sword Qi and layers of Spiritual Power Defense, its power dropped once more.

Finally, it all blasted onto the longsword before Ling Chen.
