Chapter 1366: Chapter 284: Sword Flying to Immortality (Three Updates, Ten Thousand Words, Subscribe!)_2

Although he feared no one from Sword Monarch Palace, relying solely on himself, he naturally couldn’t annihilate such a colossal entity, he needed Qingyun Palace’s help.

"I will battle Chen Jue to the death, he is bound to die, but after his death, Sword Monarch Palace will not stop there, when that time comes, we can make our move directly and catch them off guard," Gu Chen spoke, revealing his plan.

"I need to discuss this matter with the three palace masters," Ren Fei said with a solemn expression, and left the place.

However, it wasn’t long before he returned, his expression somewhat dazed, because Master Qin and the others had agreed very promptly.

Ren Fei looked at Gu Chen, recalling the words that Master Qin, Master Mu, and Master Gong had just told him.

"Ren, Young Master Gu’s talent and strength are ineffable, his future is boundless, and he is the successor of Azure Cloud Sky. Whatever he wants to do, don’t hesitate, just fully support him."

Clearly, Master Qin and the others were looking far ahead, having placed all their bets on Gu Chen.

"What did the three palace masters say?" Gu Chen asked.

Ren Fei, somewhat absent-mindedly, said, "The three palace masters said that we should fully cooperate with you, whatever you say, we will do."

As he spoke, he took out an ancient-looking command token and handed it to Gu Chen.

"This is the Qingyun Command, Qingyun Palace has a rule. Whoever holds this command is as if seeing the palace master. This is what Master Qin and the others asked me to give to you, Brother Gu," Ren Fei said gravely.

At this moment, he also cast all his doubts aside.

"Good!"

Seeing this, Gu Chen, although somewhat surprised, didn’t make a fuss and directly took the Qingyun Command. He instructed Ren Fei to summon all the elders of Qingyun Palace, including those who were in seclusion.

...

The matter of Chen Jue from Sword Monarch Palace issuing a challenge to Gu Chen quickly spread throughout the entire core of the holy realm.

After all, over the long years, the reputation of Sword Monarch Palace was still very solid, and Chen Jue, as the true disciple of the highest Sword King from many eras ago, was naturally extraordinary.

Especially since many had witnessed Chen Jue’s strength during the trip to the ancient Phoenix nest and knew of his power.

The Golden Raven Clan, White Tiger Clan, and the Kirin Clan, as well as the heirs of the strongest forces in the upper realms like Great Red Sky Palace, Lingxu Ancient Cave, were currently gathered together, discussing this matter.

They had also traveled together to the ancient Phoenix nest and had each reaped their gains, although they also faced setbacks.

"I think Gu Chen might not be a match for Chen Jue, he’s too strong!" a prodigy from the White Tiger Clan spoke up, a wound on his chest faintly aching.

Back at the ancient Phoenix nest, he had faced Chen Jue in combat. Both being great powers at the Feather Transformation level, his opponent had defeated him with just one move.

"I favor Gu Chen," two geniuses from the Golden Raven Clan and the Kirin Clan said at this time.

Meanwhile, as countless people discussed this matter, Qingyun Palace officially announced that Gu Chen had accepted the challenge, with the battle set for three days later.

Quickly, Sword Monarch Palace, on behalf of Chen Jue, also decisively accepted the challenge.

Immediately, many people from the holy realm headed to the venue in advance, preparing to witness this battle.

Before long, the three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yunlan City, crowded with people today, was the designated battleground where Gu Chen and Chen Jue had agreed to duel.

In the most central part of this city, there was a massive fighting stage, emitting a steel-like hue, forged from an extremely sturdy black metal material.

Even titanic figures would struggle to damage this place in a fierce battle.

At this moment, on the stage, stood a man with a fierce aura, of average height, carrying an ancient sword on his back, his face extremely stern as he awaited someone’s arrival.

This man was Chen Jue, the strongest prodigy of Sword Monarch Palace!

A moment passed, and he suddenly turned his head as if sensing something, looking into the distance.

There, a figure in dark clothes appeared, his black hair cascading down, his body robust, stature upright, eyes deep and radiant with divine light – who else could it be but Gu Chen?

Behind him followed Long Yi and Ren Fei.

When Gu Chen appeared, all of Yunlan City immediately focused their attention. Everyone watched the two men intently, knowing that a great battle was about to unfold.

Gu Chen moved quickly, one moment at the horizon, the next, he had stepped forward and arrived close to Chen Jue.

"I thought you’d be too scared to even show up," Chen Jue said, his face expressionless.

"You think too highly of yourself," Gu Chen responded, his demeanor light and breezy.

"A nobody dares to kill an elder of my Sword Monarch Palace. Today, I’ll let you know what it means when a Sword Repairer is enraged, how blood splatters within five steps!" Chen Jue was very decisive, wasting no words, and as soon as he saw Gu Chen, he attacked immediately.

With a clang, the sword light was dazzling, blinding onlookers whose eyes reflexively shut at the moment the swords were drawn behind him.

It could be said that as soon as Chen Jue made his move, it was a lethal strike. Holding a congenital spiritual treasure, the sword light was splendid, flashing in all directions, and he aimed a forceful chop straight at Gu Chen’s head.

"Huh?!"

But the next moment, Chen Jue felt the emptiness where his sword landed, realizing that Gu Chen had dodged!

Boom!

A fierce Gang Wind assaulted him from behind, sending a chill through Chen Jue’s heart, recognizing that Gu Chen was indeed a formidable opponent. He collected his thoughts, his sword light dancing, forming a sword net to envelop himself.

Seeing this, Gu Chen stopped his punch, not choosing to advance any further, but instead flicked his fingers, sending forth a sword light.

"You think you can compete with me in swordsmanship?!" Chen Jue sneered. Raising his hand, he utilized a sword technique, and in an instant, a torrential sword Qi surged like great rivers, continuing without end, completely enveloping the area.

Such a strike made the numerous spectators watching feel a chill envelop their bodies!

Even with the protection of a formation, one could imagine how powerful Chen Jue’s sword was.

But Gu Chen was fearless; his expression unchanged, neither sad nor joyful, his ten fingers plucked at the air as if playing an invisible piano. From his fingertips, one after another sword light shot out, each one extremely sharp, capable of slicing through heaven and earth.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

Chen Jue parried with his sword, sparks flying between them, seemingly capable of burning through the void.

At first, it was manageable; Chen Jue was able to defend easily, his expression unchanged. But as time passed, after more than a period of incense burning, Gu Chen’s fingers were still emitting sword lights, the angles becoming increasingly tricky, and he began to struggle defensively, finding it more exhausting and difficult.

"Is Chen Jue being suppressed?!"

This scene, witnessed by the keen-eyed in the audience, sent a chill through their hearts as they recognized the true situation.

Among the crowd, several Great Powers from the Sword Monarch Palace frowned, feeling that this trend was ominous for Chen Jue.

At this moment, Chen Jue was also secretly alarmed; each of Gu Chen’s sword lights was powerful and pure, not at all like those from someone in the Unified Realm.

If he didn’t know better, Chen Jue might have thought he was battling a senior of advanced Transcendence Realm!

"How can his power be more refined than mine?!" A chill ran through Chen Jue’s heart.

"I can’t keep this up." Subsequently, he frowned. A sword light pierced through his defenses, tearing through his body, blood seeping out.

"Break for me!"

Chen Jue burst forth, surging sword Qi emanating from him, seemingly capable of cloaking the heavens. He directed the congenital treasure in his hand, gathering this sword Qi into a massive and incredibly sharp sword wheel, as if it could slit stars!

"Go!"

With a shout, Chen Jue sent the sword wheel spinning forward. The frigid sword light on it was piercing cold, cutting through the skies, aimed directly at piercing Gu Chen.

"Slash!"

Facing this powerful divine technique from Chen Jue, Gu Chen pointed his fingers like a sword, and through the void, aimed at Chen Jue, gently slicing.

Swoosh!

A radiant sword light unexpectedly burst forth, as if coming from beyond the heavens, its speed exceedingly fast, like lightning slashing through the air, appearing as a rainbow crossing the sky!

In that moment, everyone present was stunned, because that streak of sword light was too magnificent and perfect, mesmerizing everyone, revealing not a single flaw.

Despite being a deadly sword strike, for some reason, it evoked an unparalleled sense of wonder in everyone present, as if it were the most perfect masterpiece from the heavens!

"A Sword to Fly to the Immortals... A Sword to Fly to the Immortals!" Suddenly, a Sword Repairer in the crowd, exceedingly agitated, muttered repeatedly.

Plop!

The next moment, a tragic streak of blood burst forth. The ultimate true transmission of the Sword Monarch Palace, the demon Chen Jue, who had been hidden for endless years, had his chest pierced by that sword light that seemed to make even immortals flee, spilling a great deal of blood!
