Chapter 1472: Chapter 1471: Astonishing Prediction

"Not bad, kid, you’re really something."

Shang Quan Yi Xin looked down at his disheveled appearance, then reached out to brush off the dust on his body, and said, "I’ve never been forced into this state by a junior before, you’re the first."

"Really? I don’t find that an honor."

Ling Chen chuckled faintly, but his demeanor caused the faces of many swordsmen from the Shangquan family to darken; this boy was truly disrespectful.

"Moreover, you’ll be the last."

After he spoke, a cold glint suddenly flashed in Shang Quan Yi Xin’s eyes, and overwhelming Sword Intent erupted from his body. At the same time, his entire presence abruptly vanished from the spot, as if completely evaporating into thin air.

"Where did he go!"

Wugong Qian Dai searched intently, yet was utterly unable to see anything, let alone the shadow of Shang Quan Yi Xin.

"Hmph, I can’t believe the Family Head has taken it this seriously, this kid is bound to lose."

A swordsman from the Shangquan family suddenly snorted coldly, a smile appearing on his face.

"He dares to blaspheme against our Shangquan family’s Single Sword Style, he ought to pay the price."

"The Family Head wants to make this kid understand the true power of our Shangquan Single Sword Style."

Several experts from the Shangquan family all revealed cold smiles, ready to witness Ling Chen’s humiliating defeat. ℴ

"First, conceal one’s presence to the extreme, then unleash the power of the sword techniques to the extreme—this is the essence of the Single Sword Style."

Fengmo Tianchuan muttered to himself.

That kid is certain to lose.

Like the others, Ling Chen’s eyes continuously swept the surroundings. However, relying solely on the naked eye, it seemed no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t detect a single trace.

"Invisibility technique?"

Ling Chen’s eyes moved slightly; even if the opponent was fast, it’s impossible to be completely traceless—unless the opponent used a ninjutsu called invisibility, entirely concealing their movements. Beichuan Ye had previously used a similar ninjutsu to avoid detection by the naked eye.

Slowly closing his eyes, Ling Chen no longer relied on his eyes to perceive the surroundings, but began to feel with his heart.

For a swordsman, the Mind’s Eye is more sensitive than sight.

Ling Chen stood motionless in place; in moments like this, the best choice is to remain unchanged. Soon, he finally sensed a sharp aura—a remarkably weak aura, almost unnoticeable. Yet, it couldn’t escape Ling Chen’s perception.

Surprisingly, when Ling Chen detected this whiff of aura, it was already very close to him, less than even ten meters away!

In such a short time, Shang Quan Yi Xin had stealthily approached this close! Without much thought, Ling Chen suddenly thrust his Thunder Sound Sword behind him!

Clang!

The crowd hadn’t yet seen a shadow, but the sudden metallic clash rang out. In the same instant, they finally saw a sword and a figure appear—it was Shang Quan Yi Xin!

Ling Chen’s sword tip struck precisely on the sword body held by Shang Quan Yi Xin, about four inches from the tip. At the moment Ling Chen hit, Shang Quan Yi Xin’s Sword Energy completely scattered, and the violent Sword Momentum vanished like smoke.

"What? He not only found the Family Head’s position but broke the Family Head’s knife technique?!"

The strongmen of the Shangquan family all looked astounded at the scene, their expressions full of disbelief.

Ling Chen not only pinpointed Shang Quan Yi Xin’s location but also discerned the single flaw in Shang Quan Yi Xin’s knife technique, accurately hitting it. Completing such a series of impossible tasks in such a short time—is this guy even human?

Ling Chen’s lips curled into a faint smile, "Family Head Shangquan, it seems your Single Sword Style is merely so-so."

"Enough nonsense!"

Shang Quan Yi Xin was still immersed in shock, but upon hearing Ling Chen’s words, his expression immediately darkened. He swiftly withdrew his Long Knife, and then, with even greater speed, swung it fiercely towards Ling Chen’s back!

Tilting his body, Ling Chen didn’t even look back and countered with a sword. The edges of sword and knife collided once more, and an astonishing ripple spread through the air.

"Secret Sword: Tenth Level Storm!"

With a loud shout, Shang Quan Yi Xin gripped the bottom and top of the knife handle, spinning it violently. The Long Knife danced wildly, forming a storm-like blue sword qi that swept towards Ling Chen!

"Extreme Void Slash Wave!"

Sword Intent erupted from Ling Chen’s brow, swinging a sword wave that seemed etched in the Void, cutting into the storm and created a huge crack.

Ling Chen’s body then shot through the crack, racing through the storm with lightning speed, clashing swords with Shang Quan Yi Xin once more!

Another shocking ripple spread, everyone couldn’t help but gulp, and in the next moment, Ling Chen and Shang Quan Yi Xin’s sword lights continuously met, exchanging over ten strikes in a blink!

"It’s evenly matched, indistinguishable?"

The swordsmen of the Shangquan family all looked incredulous, understanding that this battle was an extremely intense clash between top-notch swordsmen. It was undoubtedly brilliant, but for Shang Quan Yi Xin, it was a great disgrace because the person fighting him evenly wasn’t any Big Swordsman from Yingzhou—just a mere junior!

"This kid is growing stronger..."

A hint of fear appeared in Fengmo Rizang’s eyes; Ling Chen’s strength had undoubtedly increased significantly since the last time they fought!

"Secret Sword: Never Ending!"

After forcing Ling Chen back with a knife strike, Shang Quan Yi Xin suddenly plunged his Long Knife into the ground, causing a violent shift in the earth’s pulse. Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly retreated. Before him, a tree entirely condensed from sword qi grew, seemingly emanating endless vitality from below, aiding its growth.

From the tree, tendrils made of sword qi shot everywhere. Ling Chen sensed a strong True Intention of Wood emanating from this tree!

Still remarkably calm, Ling Chen suddenly swung a slashing sword, golden light flashing from the Thunder Sound Sword, forming a Lunar Wheel that accelerated in mid-air, slicing into the tree and chopping it down amidst many astonished glances!

In the eyes of the crowd, Ling Chen and Shang Quan Yi Xin had exchanged countless moves; over time, both of them were marked with sword wounds, blood staining them, an impactful sight.
