Chapter 1466: 1466

Jiang Chen went into the Sword House after noon . It had been almost the dusk, which meant he had been there for nearly two hours .

The “Eighteen” on the stone wall finally became “Twenty” under numerous expectant gazes .

However, it did not stop there . The number soon changed to twenty-one, twenty-two…

It finally stopped at twenty-five .

The place was so quiet that even if a needle fell on the ground, it would be heard . People’s chests were heaving up and down . It was an exciting scene .

The sky-reaching energy pillar scattered and disappeared after reaching the peak . It was taken back into the Sword House .

The Sword House was giving off a weaker light at the moment . The stone door was being pushed .

When people had realized this was over, the stone door was open slowly with an extremely loud noise .

Jiang Chen appeared in everyone’s sight again .

The consecutive big battles made him look a little bit messy and tired, but his energy still made people hold their breaths involuntarily .

Compared to when he had gone into the Stone House, Jiang Chen had experienced a qualitative change .

“His swordsmanship must have improved a lot!”

Duanmu Rong, First Chair of the Hundred Swords Peak, was very sure about that .

At this moment, the emotion she had had the previous day was gone entirely .

She suddenly felt the potential of Ling Long Celestial Palace was great, only because it had Jiang Chen as its vice leader .

“So many people . ”

Jiang Chen walked out of the Sword House . He did not expect to see so many people there .

Jiang Chen smiled at those awestruck and admiring gazes .

Especially when he saw that Liu Neng was looking at him with genuine admiration, he knew he did not have to say anything .

“Vice leader, could you show us the ultimate-level martial arts technique?”

At this moment, Meng Kong roared, coming forward .

Jiang Chen was struck dumb . He could see this man was different from the other disciples .

His energy alone made him stand out from the crowd . Let alone his appearance .

“Are you one of the current ten elite disciples?” asked Jiang Chen .

“Exactly . My name is Meng Kong . ”

Meng Kong had a complicated feeling . He was reluctant to accept the fact, and he could not believe what had happened .

How Jiang Chen spoke to him made him feel awkward, because they were actually about the same age .

Others had no idea how Meng Kong was feeling, but they were also curious about the ultimate-level sword method and were looking forward to appreciating it .

“All right . ”

Jiang Chen did not let these people down . He said, “But ultimate-level sword methods are not for show-off . ”

People vaguely read something from his words, but they were not sure .

“Elder Duanmu, can we exchange a blow?”

Jiang Chen suddenly threw Duanmu Rong, standing next to him, a sharp look .

Duanmu Rong was the First Chair of the Hundred Swords Peak as well as the elder of Ling Long Celestial Palace . The way Jiang Chen called her was totally okay .

“Me?”

Duanmu Rong was shocked . She had imagined Jiang Chen would have asked Meng Kong or other elite disciples to exchange blows with him .

“It looks…I’m looked down . ”

Duanmu Rong shook her head . She was a Martial Arts Saint . Although she did not have the Sword King title, she was one of the best .

Jiang Chen just would not win in a fight with her .

However, to show people an ultimate-level sword method, it was better indeed to exchange blows with a Martial Arts Saint .

“If the vice leader asks, of course, I have to say yes . ”

Duanmu Rong did not decline . She took a step forward . Her sword created a breeze . And she had been in the air instantly .

“Her sword steps are fantastic . ”

Jiang Chen thought .

Sword step was a physical movement uniquely owned by swordsmen . It kept swordsmen in the lead in battles .

Jiang Chen jumped into the air as well .

“It’s starting for real!”

The disciples of the celestial palace were surprised that Jiang Chen had challenged Duanmu Rong .

They were also surprised that Duanmu Rong had agreed .

However, they did not think Jiang Chen could defeat Duanmu Rong .

They were only wondering whether the ultimate-level sword method Jiang Chen had mastered could affect Duanmu Rong .

“As long as she wants, Miss First Chair can just crack his ultimate-level sword method with brutal force . ”

“If she does that, it means she can’t handle the ultimate-level sword method . It’s unethical for a swordsman . ”

“Miss First Chair almost won the Sword King title . Her swordsmanship is brilliant . And she is a Martial Arts Saint, too . The odds are against the vice leader . ”

“That being said, we’ll see how great an ultimate-level sword method is more clearly . ”

Jiang Chen and Duanmu Rong flew to a high altitude while people were expecting the fight .

Tactical formations protected all of the nine peaks, so they would not be affected easily .

However, tactical formations would consume energies to offset the influences . They would like to inflict as few damages or energy consumptions as possible .

“Mr . Vice Leader, please start your show . ”

Duanmu Rong said with a smile . She looked very relaxed .

She could be so confident because there was a considerable gap between their states . If they were both Martial Arts Saints, Jiang Chen’s performance in the Stone House might have made her more serious .

However, Jiang Chen was only a Martial Emperor in the late stage .

No matter how much he had improved in the Sword House, it did not concern his state .

“Elder Duanmu, watch out . ”

Jiang Chen said . He certainly knew this woman was not taking the fight with him seriously .

There was no need to talk anymore . Holding the sword in front of his chest and accumulating forces rapidly, he emitted tremendous sword energy .

“This sword energy?”

Duanmu Rong, as well as the others at the Hundred Swords Peak, sensed that gloomy and freezing sword energy .

The air seemed to be moister .

Hanging loose, Jiang Chen’s long hair was fluttering . He looked serious . The Heavenly Fault Sword kept chiming .

The sword energy around him was like a fog . A great number of ice crystals appeared .

“What?!”

Duanmu Rong lost her cool when she saw this .

So did the other swordsmen there .

The sword energy’s crystallization meant the swordsman had achieved an unparalleled level .

Zhang Tian’s sword energy was once crystallized as well .

“If he becomes Martial Arts Saint, he will be qualified to compete for Sword King! No! Even Sword Emperor!”

Duanmu Rong thought .

Before the appearance of Sovereign Souls, the highest state-level people could achieve was Martial Arts Saint .

For those who had achieved this highest level, they were classified by strength using a system of martial doctrine .

Most of them were swordsmen . They were classified into Sword King and Sword Emperor .

Zhang Tian was called the Sword King of Breeze . It was an amazing achievement for his age .

However, Duanmu Rong, who had been following Zhang Tian’s development closely during these years, had a complicated feeling gazing at the young man in front of her .

“The Frozen Yi Water!”

Jiang Chen threw his sword over decisively as soon as the sword energy achieved the critical point .

The sword momentum was unpredictable and infinitely mysterious . The aqua blue sword soul flew out at high speed .

Duanmu Rong was shocked . In a trance, she had no idea whether she should retreat or dodge .

It was like when average people were facing a tsunami . The only possible reaction is a fright out of instinct . They simply froze there and could not take any actions .

This sword attack was powerful and mysterious .

The disciples of the celestial palace were so petrified that they even forgot to shut their open mouths .

“Across All Directions!”

At the last minute, Duanmu Rong reacted in the most awkward way ever .

She could see through this attack of Jiang Chen’s, but she did not care . Relying on the state force of Martial Arts Saint, she launched a unique attack, intending to crack the mystery by brutal force . She truly believed this would work .

Indeed, as soon as Duanmu Rong launched this attack, even the color of the sky changed . Jiang Chen’s sword momentum was greatly affected .

“Water Retrogrades!”

To her surprise, Jiang Chen had anticipated that . His blade suddenly transformed, and the law of the universe transformed as well .

Duanmu Rong’s sword attack was reversed by his sword momentum . It turned around to attack herself!

“How is it possible?!”

Opening her eyes widely, Duanmu Rong switched on her protecting jar involuntarily .

This was the moment to decide the result of this blow exchange
