Chapter 1375: Chapter 1374: Liusheng Bushou’s Strength

"Divine Thunder Quick Blade Slash!"

Suffering a great loss right from the start, a cold glint flashed in LiuSheng Bushou’s eyes. He spun his blade, following its momentum, transforming into a streak of blade light that struck towards Ling Chen. Even while still in mid-air, he had already unleashed twelve slashes, with the purple blade light enveloping Ling Chen’s entire body.

In response, Ling Chen swung his sword just once.

With all his might, Ling Chen’s swing held immense power. The ground before him was scarred with a deep sword mark, and everywhere it passed, LiuSheng Bushou’s blade light was forcibly shattered.

However, LiuSheng Bushou, being one of the top three of the younger generation in Yingzhou, remained unfazed in the face of adversity. His Ogre Slayer’s speed only increased, as speed was his advantage, which he was now exploiting to the fullest.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

The dense flashes of blades and shadows of swords intertwined in relentless clashes. Blade light dispersed, sword shadows vanished, and within a very short time, the two had exchanged over twenty moves.

However, at this moment, LiuSheng Bushou frowned. As the battle progressed, he discovered that Ling Chen could keep up with his speed. If he executed one slash, Ling Chen could respond with one. If he unleashed ten, Ling Chen could do the same, seemingly with greater ease.

"Damn it, no wonder Beichuan Ye failed. Is this Ling Chen’s true strength?"

LiuSheng Bushou’s expression turned grim, and his gaze became unprecedentedly focused. With an earth-shaking shout, his aura surged, and his eyes flashed with dazzling white light. He lifted his Long Knife fiercely over his head. His blade tip, blade body, and person almost aligned as one, seemingly merging into a singularity. His vital energy had never been so condensed, reaching an unprecedented level, as if all his strength was converging into a single point.

"This is..."

Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes suddenly contracted. This sword technique was one of the Liu Sheng Family’s most powerful. She had once seen it from her father LiuSheng Qianbingwei, and didn’t expect LiuSheng Bushou to have learned it too.

"Tachi-ryū: Void Slash!"

Before she could say more, the Ogre Slayer in LiuSheng Bushou’s hand was lifted high, and the blade qi surged into the sky, reaching several dozen meters high. The white blade qi was earth-shattering, and LiuSheng Bushou seemed to rise a notch higher in the air. Many people from afar saw this scene and were extremely amazed.

But now LiuSheng Bushou only had eyes for Ling Chen. He stepped forward with a earth-shattering step.

Then, the dozens of zhang-long blade aura slashed down, as if to cleave the entire Fish-dragon Island in two.

This terrifying blade aura changed the complexions of Longyuan True Immortal and the surrounding Ghost Warriors. All that remained was to see how Ling Chen could defend against it.

In their line of sight, Ling Chen spread his feet apart, his body leaning slightly forward. The Thunder Sound Sword in his hand was horizontally positioned in front of him, with his left fingers pressing on the other side of the sword blade, assuming a simple blocking posture.

"You think you can block my sword techniques with that? In your dreams!"

LiuSheng Bushou sneered, thinking Ling Chen would unleash some powerful killer move to counter his. Yet, it was like this – using this approach was like playing with fire.

Clang!

Under the intense gaze of everyone, LiuSheng Bushou’s mighty slash struck fiercely against Ling Chen’s sword, causing an explosive sound, as the blade light engulfed Ling Chen’s body.

At that moment, everyone’s hearts were completely tensed. LiuSheng Bushou’s strike was overwhelmingly strong, and Ling Chen seemingly didn’t counter with equal forceful techniques. Could he withstand it?

Soon, the dust enveloping Ling Chen slowly dispersed, revealing his figure.

At this moment, a deep semicircular mark stretched from around Ling Chen to behind him, extending far beyond the visible horizon.

However, everyone’s gaze soon fixed on Ling Chen, and suddenly contracted.

Ling Chen remained the same as before, holding his sword in his right hand and pressing the sword’s edge with his left. However, on the Thunder Sound Sword in his hand, it was densely covered with radiant thunder, with overwhelming sword qi swirling around it, protecting Ling Chen from most of the damage.

"Is he completely unharmed?"

Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes narrowed sharply, seeing Ling Chen had no injuries at all except for some slight wear on his clothes. He had directly withstood LiuSheng Bushou’s Void Slash!

"How is this possible?"

An expression of disbelief appeared on LiuSheng Bushou’s face. He couldn’t believe the move he painstakingly prepared had no effect at all!

At this moment, Ling Chen’s lips curled into a faint smile, and his eyes flashed with a sudden brilliance. He retracted his left hand, looked at LiuSheng Bushou, and said, "Next, it’s your turn to try my sword techniques."

With that, Ling Chen’s eyes burst with brilliance, the thunder on the Thunder Sound Sword surged wildly. The violent lightning rapidly gathered at the sword tip, forming a Black Thunderball like a black sun, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction.

"Thunder Swallow!"

As the Treasure Sword swung, the Thunderball abruptly detached, then shot directly at LiuSheng Bushou in front of him!

As the Thunderball passed, the ground was again plowed into a semicircular path. Everything was pulverized into nothingness, and in the blink of an eye, it was at LiuSheng Bushou’s face!

LiuSheng Bushou’s expression changed, his Ogre Slayer already retracted, the surrounding Sword Momentum swiftly retracted around him, protecting him, and he mimicked Ling Chen’s earlier blocking posture. However, under LiuSheng Bushou’s instigation, the Ogre Slayer’s blade expanded more than five times, as if unleashing the power within a Ghost God, transforming into a Hellish Blade, emitting an overwhelmingly strong aura.

Boom!

The Black Thunderball, in an imposing manner, slammed into LiuSheng Bushou’s Ogre Slayer, and at once, the lightning exploded, spreading out in all directions.

Chh chh chh chh!

Yet, the moment the Thunderball struck LiuSheng Bushou, his body bounced backward like a cannonball, unable to stop retreating, seemingly flying over a kilometer away before stabilizing and halting.

While both defended with swords, the circumstances for LiuSheng Bushou and Ling Chen were vastly different. At this moment, LiuSheng Bushou was marked with countless sword scars, looking exceptionally miserable. Blood continuously dripped from his tiger’s mouth, and wisps of black smoke rose from his arms, clearly having exhausted his inner strength to block Ling Chen’s sword.

Gasp!

Witnessing this scene, whether it was Hong Ye, Longyuan True Immortal, or the Ghost Warriors of the Liu Sheng Family, they all drew in a sharp breath. Similar offense, similar defense, yet one remained unscathed, calm and collected, while the other exerted all efforts, ending up scarred. The difference in skill was evident.
