Chapter 1474 - 1473: Black Thunderball

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1473: Black Thunderball

In the past, Ling Chen relied on the power of the Human Emperor to use this sword, repelling Dao Yi True Immortal and saving Xuannv, but other than that, Ling Chen had almost never used this sword.

Because the backlash force of the Soul Destroying Sword was too strong, the previous Ling Chen, if he used the Soul Destroying Sword, might not even hurt a hair on his enemy before being backlashed by the Soul Destroying Sword, putting himself in danger first, outweighing the benefits.

Therefore, Ling Chen had always kept this Soul Destroying Sword hidden away, and had almost never used this sword.

But now, things were different.

Ling Chen’s strength was no longer what it was at the Sky Apex Realm, and his Sword Intent had already reached the Saint-class Intermediate Stage. Now, even if the Soul Destroying Sword were to backlash, Ling Chen’s current capabilities were enough to endure such backlash!

"Hmm?"

At the moment Ling Chen drew the Soul Destroying Sword, Shang Quan Yi Xin’s pupils slightly contracted. He could similarly sense the unusualness of Ling Chen’s Soul Destroying Sword, that wave of destruction—even from such a distance—gave him a faint sense of danger!

What kind of sword was this?

Demon Sword? Demonic Knife?

With a sense of ominous premonition, Shang Quan Yi Xin’s body also tensed up. The more it was at such times, the less he could afford to be careless and reveal any flaws.

Feeling the waves of destruction emanating from the Soul Destroying Sword, Ling Chen also felt extremely grave. Even now, he had to exert all his strength to suppress this Soul Destroying Sword. This shocked Ling Chen enormously; how did the Great Qin Sword Saint control such a Demon Sword? One careless mistake, and this Soul Destroying Sword would backlash on its user. Such a sword would probably make the majority of Swordsmen in the world keep their distance, let alone making it their personal sword.

Only someone like the Sword Saint would have the power to control this Soul Destroying Sword at will.

Given Ling Chen’s current ability, he could probably only wield one strike with it, especially since he had already been battling Shang Quan Yi Xin for so long; his condition was not good. Without a doubt, this strike would decide the outcome of the fight.

Either he would lose, or Shang Quan Yi Xin would lose!

With this thought, a shine appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes. Then, he suddenly soared into action, seemingly achieving Unity of Human and Sword, moving swiftly towards Shang Quan Yi Xin. At the same time, Ling Chen pushed the power of this Soul Destroying Sword to its maximum, an exceptionally grand and violent lightning wave rapidly concentrated at the sword tip, seemingly forming a thunderball!

As the thunderball formed, the black patterns on the Soul Destroying Sword also suddenly seeped into the thunderball, transforming it into a deep, black color at a speed visible to the naked eye!

After the color transformation was complete, an extremely violent wave of destruction suddenly spread out!

"Thunder Swallow: One Flash!"

Suddenly, Ling Chen shouted furiously. As the Soul Destroying Sword in his hand swung out sharply, the black thunderball at the tip of the sword abruptly flew out, shooting towards Shang Quan Yi Xin with a straight trajectory!

The speed of the thunderball was extremely fast, as if it ignored the space distance. To many, it seemed like just a flash in the air, and that black thunderball appeared right in front of Shang Quan Yi Xin, charging fiercely towards him!

"Open for me!"

Lightning quickly spread in his eyes. Shang Quan Yi Xin, after all, was a battle-experienced Big Swordsman. As that black thunderball shot towards him, he did not panic; a cold glint flashed through, and he tightly gripped the long knife he had long prepared, the knife light like a rainbow, then violently hacked forward!

He intended to use his unmatched knife light to directly split the thunderball into two!

Sssss!

Amidst shocked gazes, when the knife light and thunderball touched, there was not the expected loud explosive sound; instead, they intertwined together. Under Shang Quan Yi Xin’s knife light, the black thunderball started to explode inch by inch, impacting onto his knife light, releasing dazzling sparks.

Shang Quan Yi Xin’s knife light cut into the black thunderball, but only about one-third deep, and could not penetrate further. At this moment, the black thunderball fully exploded, like a black hole, swallowing Shang Quan Yi Xin and his knife entirely.

Black thunderlight swiftly engulfed the entire airspace, unleashing an astonishing destructive storm.

At that instant, Ling Chen’s brow furrowed, the Soul Destroying Sword slipping uncontrollably from his grasp, landing several meters away, piercing into the ground, its radiance rapidly dimming. Ling Chen’s right hand, which had been holding the Soul Destroying Sword, was charred black, as if it had been eroded, losing all vitality, with sinister black patterns flickering on it, emanating waves of destructive aura.

The backlash force of the Soul Destroying Sword was terrifying.

"What’s happening? Why did Ling Chen senior’s sword suddenly slip from his hand?"

Wugong Qian Dai also noticed the anomaly on Ling Chen’s side and her face turned slightly pale.

"This sword is too terrifying!"

Wugong Shou He gazed at the Soul Destroying Sword not far from Ling Chen, clearly understanding what was going on. His eyes showed a hint of fright, not expecting the powerful Ling Chen to be backlashed by this sword. It was imaginable how powerful this black sword was.

Even the Demonic Blade Muramasa, only existing in the legends of Yingzhou, might not be more formidable?

"This could be disastrous. Ling Chen has been backlashed by his own sword and severely injured; his wounds might not heal quickly. If Shang Quan Yi Xin were to counterattack, the situation would be dangerous."

Wugong Shou He felt anxious in his heart.

"This foolish boy was backlashed by his own sword. If Shang Quan Yi Xin counterattacks now, he will definitely win the duel."

Fengmo Tianchuan’s face showed a smile, thinking that this boy had trapped himself, surely determining the outcome.

Yet the next moment, the smile on his face stiffened.

Because in his line of sight, after the black thunderlight dissipated, Shang Quan Yi Xin’s figure appeared, but his body bore charred marks everywhere, indicating that he had suffered serious injuries under the impact of the black thunderball.

A feeling of unease arose in his heart, and Fengmo Tianchuan quickly shouted towards Shang Quan Yi Xin: "Shang Quan brother, what are you doing being stunned there? That kid is already a spent force, attack him now, and he will surely be defeated!"

It seemed Fengmo Tianchuan’s words reached Shang Quan Yi Xin, and his body moved. The latter’s right hand holding the knife slowly rose, appearing ready to continue attacking.

"That’s the way!"

Fengmo Tianchuan’s eyes lit up. Given Shang Quan Yi Xin’s profound cultivation, how could he be easily severely injured? It seemed he was overthinking.

Splurt!

Just when such a thought arose in his mind, Shang Quan Yi Xin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string.

"What?"

Fengmo Tianchuan was struck like by lightning, too shocked to utter a single word.
