Chapter 454: Duel with Xu Yan

“Young Master!”

Upon hearing this, Yao Qian was instantly shocked.

Although she knew Ji Chen’s strength was considerable, the man before her was Xu Yan, a core disciple of the Profound Celestial Pavilion, whose cultivation had reached above the Reincarnation Realm Sixth Layer.

Ji Chen himself was merely at the Reincarnation Realm Third Layer, even with some impressive cards up his sleeve and techniques, it would be difficult to close the gap with Xu Yan.

If he truly decides to take action, it would be too reckless, not a wise move.

“Oh?”

Xu Yan scoffed coldly, “It seems you have more guts than I imagined.”

During this time, neither Bai Shenghao nor others present spoke, clearly not intending to step forward and persuade against it.

What surprised Bai Shenghao was that he did not expect Ji Chen to actually accept the challenge.

Though he hadn’t interacted with Ji Chen much, he could tell Ji Chen was not a reckless person. Since the opponent dared to accept the challenge, it was enough to show that Ji Chen’s true combat strength was far stronger than he had imagined!

“But what are the stakes for this duel?” Ji Chen suddenly asked.

Xu Yan was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this and then couldn’t help but sneer, “It seems you have quite the confidence in your abilities, daring to bet against me?”

“Why not?”

Ji Chen smiled mildly, “How about this, if I win, from now on, whenever your brother and you see me, you must kneel before me, or vice versa.”

“Agreed.”

Xu Yan agreed immediately without much thought.

Because in his view, there was no way he could lose this battle.

Whether it’s the Great Dao Sword Intent or the Hongmeng Body, these so-called cards and techniques could not possibly close the gap between Xu Yan and himself.

The difference between Reincarnation Realm Third Layer and Reincarnation Realm Sixth Layer is like heaven and earth.

He was absolutely confident that he could easily overpower Ji Chen!

“Swish!”

Without any more words, Xu Yan lept into the air the next moment.

His aura gradually became fierce, surrounded by divine light, extremely dazzling, like a child of the heavenly dome descending here.

“Hope you won’t break your word after you lose with Brother Bai and others as witness today.”

A cold sneer escaped his mouth, and at the same time, the surging aura around him reached a certain peak.

“Buzz!”

Feel the space tremble, Xu Yan formed a seal technique and attacked first, releasing a dazzling divine light that transformed into an incredible sword aura, slashing down towards Ji Chen in the blink of an eye.

The entire world darkened a lot at this moment, the moonlight dimmed significantly.

Under the night, the sword aura was glaring, entwined with remarkable power of the Dao, and instantly neared Ji Chen’s head.

“So strong!”

Everyone present was involuntarily shocked, feeling the extraordinary force of Xu Yan’s sword.

Even though the opponent did not master the Sword Dao, at this moment, the might of this sword could not be underestimated.

Moreover, his cultivation was Reincarnation Realm Sixth Layer, three realms higher than Ji Chen.

With such a vast disparity, Ji Chen could not possibly defend against this sword attack with merely the Great Dao Sword Intent.

Let’s see if he has some unknown strategies.

Bai Shenghao, as the host of this gathering, actually wished to witness Ji Chen’s true strength, thus did not step in to calm the situation.

If it comes to the critical moment, he would naturally intervene, wouldn’t truly let Xu Yan kill Ji Chen here, but let’s see how long Ji Chen could endure against Xu Yan.

“Perish!”

In full view, facing Xu Yan’s sword slicing through, Ji Chen showed no signs of retreat.

He lightly shouted, using his finger as a sword, pointing forward.

The Great Dao Sword Intent was driven, and a formidable law aura emerged within the air.

The temperature of the entire venue became much intense.

Thunder light exploded, accompanied by a strand of flame, the law of fire and thunder simultaneously released by Ji Chen, merging into this sword.

“Buzz!”

The Thunderfire Sword cleaved upwards within the air, twisting the void greatly, emitting sorrowful cries, like it couldn’t withstand the existence of this sword and would collapse.

“Crack!”

In the blink of an eye, the two attacks collided.

The fierce, astonishing sword momentum instantly engulfed the venue, causing countless faces to change color.

Under the night, the two sword lights clashed and shattered simultaneously, turning into tiny sharp sword auras, like fireworks bursting, ultimately dispersing into the void.

“It’s Thunder Law!”

Someone exclaimed, a look of astonishment appearing on their face.

Like the Great Dao Sword Intent, laws in the world are countless, and the Thunder Law is absolutely one of the rare ones.

Not to mention nowadays, even in ancient historical ages, those who comprehended the Thunder Law were just a few.

No one expected that following the Great Dao Sword Intent and Hongmeng Body, Ji Chen again showcased such a rare card.

“Indeed impressive, who would’ve thought you mastered even the Thunder Law.”

Under the night, Xu Yan stood in the void, narrowing his eyes with a bit of surprise in his heart.

But that was all. After all, Ji Chen’s cultivation was merely at the Third Layer level of Reincarnation Realm; no matter how strong his cards and methods seemed, they posed no threat to him.

“Three laws, Great Dao Sword Intent…”

Bai Shenghao narrowed his eyes, continuously observing the duel between the two.

He could clearly sense that within Ji Chen’s recent sword, aside from Great Dao Sword Intent, were fused Sword Law, Thunder Law, and Fire Law.

The power of three laws combined with the Great Dao Sword Intent, this sword’s might was indeed not simple.

Not to mention the Reincarnation Realm Third Layer, even those at the Fourth or Fifth Layer might not withstand it.

“In the Lower Realm Plane, such a person could emerge!”

Apart from Bai Shenghao, everyone present couldn’t help but be astounded.

Even amidst the power-abundant Immortal Realm, those who could grasp the power of three laws undoubtedly weren’t ordinary.

Talents like this are often highly sought after by major sects.

Just like Wang Xiyuan and Bai Shenghao, two renowned young kings from Yanzhou, it’s said they also mastered the power of three laws.

From this, it’s evident, whether in talent or potential, Ji Chen’s current display trailed not far behind them.

Given enough time, the future opponent will surely become one of the rare heroes in the Yanzhou territory, commanding influence far and wide!
