Chapter 2398: Chapter 2399: Sword Technique

The force moved with extreme speed, and in an unguarded moment, the two streams of Spiritual Energy surged towards Lin Chen’s elbow!

During the dash, Lin Chen could feel the astonishing aura emanating from these two streams of Spiritual Energy.

They were like two roaring dragons, unwilling to be confined in Lin Chen’s meridians, exuding a threatening aura, just to burst out from Lin Chen’s arm!

This time, Lin Chen had learned from his previous experiences, along with Wang Hao’s earlier advice, and just now, while not present, he contemplated the Sword Intent left behind by Wang Hao. This led Lin Chen to not panic, but rather to anticipate.

His slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, emitting a sharp light. He slightly lowered his head, and the third eye on his forehead also opened. Upon opening, a bright beam of light seemed to fall into Lin Chen’s dark pupils.

The clothes on his body seemed to become transparent, his gaze penetrating the skin, and he could see the two streams of Spiritual Energy wandering on Lin Chen’s arm. In their movement, they seemed to turn into two flood dragons about to crash into the chaotic Spiritual Energy.

Lin Chen dared not slacken at this moment. His mind sank, and as it sank, the Spiritual Energy barrier at his elbow began to stop those colliding streams of Spiritual Energy like a quagmire.

A piercing sound echoed within Lin Chen’s body; it was as if the terrifying force had pierced the barrier at his elbow, causing Lin Chen to feel a pang of pain.

The two forces, like a giant cone, continuously stirred the chaotic Spiritual Energy at Lin Chen’s elbow. This sharpness made Lin Chen take a deep breath, for as the barrier broke, Lin Chen felt a piercing pain from his elbow.

Lin Chen frowned. Although he had followed Wang Hao’s previous instructions, the surge of Spiritual Energy was too swift and was clearly not easily manageable.

Lin Chen found himself in such a situation; though he was desperately concentrating his consciousness to gather the chaotic Spiritual Energy to enwrap the existing ones, in reality, Lin Chen still found it extremely troublesome.

The giant cone-like Spiritual Energy swiftly broke through, making it difficult for Lin Chen to maintain his composure due to the intense pain.

Lin Chen frowned and quickly withdrew some of the original two streams of Spiritual Energy. Continuing in the current situation could lead to unimaginable consequences.

However, even though Lin Chen knew the situation was not good, the impacting Spiritual Energy was not easily retractable. Although Lin Chen focused all his mental energy on withdrawing this Spiritual Energy, clearly, his current level of control was not enough to retract it all at once like Wang Hao.

Especially since these two streams of Spiritual Energy had already passed Lin Chen’s elbow, like water released from a gate, it was not easy to retrieve.

Within a few breaths, Lin Chen’s face was covered with sweat, and beneath these beads of sweat, there was some slight pain.

He gritted his teeth and endured it stubbornly. It was not like the situation in the scripture library, where Bai Ning could still assist, but now Lin Chen was alone, without any help, posing a great test for him.

However, Lin Chen did not become frustrated; after all, learning sword skills was ultimately a personal matter, and getting hurt in this matter was quite common.

Lin Chen took it very lightly.

Despite suffering, Lin Chen managed to withdraw some of the original Spiritual Energy, and with the obstruction from the remaining Spiritual Energy, Lin Chen’s injuries were not as severe as before.

The two streams of Spiritual Energy surged into Lin Chen’s fingers, and he only felt an extraordinarily powerful force flowing out from his fingertips.

In an instant, a brilliant light appeared, making the ink-black night resemble daylight.

He took a deep breath, which was due to the pain, as the Spiritual Energy surged out, a few crimson drops trickled from Lin Chen’s fingers. In the silver glow occasionally visible in the night, this crimson blood appeared extremely poignant.

Lin Chen glanced at his fingers and then shifted his gaze to the distance.

The Spiritual Energy that surged out from Lin Chen’s fingers rapidly advanced in the distance. Since Lin Chen had no target, this wave of Spiritual Energy sped like a meteor.

With the opening of the third eye on Lin Chen’s forehead, he could clearly see that within that stream of Spiritual Energy, it appeared unified but actually contained two streams, entwining within the beam, expanding in power.

"If fully unleashed, I wonder how powerful it would be."

Lin Chen murmured.

Watching the wave of Spiritual Energy vanish into the void, Lin Chen felt hopeful. For a cultivator, powerful strength is always captivating, and Lin Chen was no exception.

Yet, seeing the blood continuously dripping from his fingertips and the meridians barely healed, suffering more damage, Lin Chen sighed slightly—this is not something to rush.

He had not yet mastered this skill, forcing it could break his body before hurting the enemy.

Lin Chen rubbed his right hand, which felt fatigued, then sat cross-legged on a towering ancient tree, closing his eyes and letting his consciousness dive to heal his internal injuries.

The body is the foundation of everything.

Lin Chen certainly understood this; no matter how much he yearned for strength, he had to consider the current reality.

Within Lin Chen’s Dantian, four Spirit Pills dimmed, leaving only two with substantial energy.

This was the cost of the sword skill Lin Chen had just used.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Lin Chen not only retracted most of the Spiritual Energy but also completely isolated the Spiritual Energy from the sword skill from his Dantian.

Otherwise, if executed in full, the consequences would have been dire.

In that brief moment, the momentum brought about was so astonishing that if more Spiritual Energy were injected, wouldn’t Lin Chen’s arm have shattered?

In his consciousness, Lin Chen also felt a bit fortunate.
