Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Gain the Upper Hand

Lin Chen, the person he challenged, was naturally Yu Chuan.

Although this person does not share the Ouyang surname, he is a disciple of Ding Xingzheng, hence he belongs to the Ouyang Family.

Lin Chen had been targeted by Ouyang Jin and the Ouyang Family several times, and his heart had long harbored much anger. Today was the perfect opportunity to settle scores.

"Haha, I was just fretting about not having an opportunity to trouble you, and here you are, delivering yourself to my doorstep."

Upon seeing Lin Chen actually challenging him, Yu Chuan’s lips curved into an evil cold smile, thinking that although under the pressure of Qin Batian he couldn’t kill Lin Chen, crippling him was still an option.

Moreover, it was Lin Chen who initiated the challenge, which gave Qin Batian no reason to fault the Ouyang Family.

For Yu Chuan, his heart had been feeling stifled for too long, but due to the Qin Family’s protection over Lin Chen, he had never had a chance to strike.

Now, with Lin Chen daring to initiate the challenge, he was eager to see if Lin Chen was as formidable as the rumors suggested, even capable of slaying Peak Nirvana Realm Experts.

Was it merely rumor, or was there truth to it? Everything would be known after this fierce battle.

At this moment, Lin Chen and Yu Chuan both soared into the Martial Arts Arena.

After both of them entered the arena, Lu Zizai from afar pointed his finger, and an invisible Sword Qi barrier appeared around the arena.

The battle between disciples like Lin Chen and Yu Chuan, with its immensely powerful energy, definitely necessitated the Elders ensuring the safety of other disciples.

"Lin Chen, I heard that during the battle at Endless Sky, you slew Xue Yuanqing and others have mythologized you, and even many Nirvana Realm experts have fallen by your hand."

After arriving on the Duel Platform, Yu Chuan looked at Lin Chen and did not immediately attack, but instead, disdainfully mocked him.

In his view, the other disciples regarded Lin Chen as a myth, yet Yu Chuan didn’t believe in Lin Chen’s strength at all.

Those disciples spread such rumors solely because Lin Chen had the backing of the Qin Family, just to ingratiate themselves with the Qin Family.

Thus, Yu Chuan intended to utterly defeat Lin Chen today, and then those rumors would collapse on their own. Yu Chuan was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Lin Chen would have then.

Thinking this, Yu Chuan couldn’t help but get somewhat excited, gripping the black Giant Sword at his waist that trembled slightly.

The Great Que Sword, being Yu Chuan’s strongest magic treasure and a Heavenly Level Mid Grade treasure, even when Yu Chuan’s cultivation was only at Half-Step Nirvana Realm, he had defeated many Nirvana Realm experts with this sword and his swordsmanship.

Now, with Yu Chuan’s cultivation breaking through to the First Layer of the Nirvana Realm, his strength had certainly increased. He didn’t give any consideration to Lin Chen whose cultivation was merely at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

To think of gaining victory in a challenge against a Nirvana Realm expert with merely First Level Cultivation of the Heavenly Human Realm, Yu Chuan had never even heard of such a feat.

Moreover, Yu Chuan was no ordinary Nirvana Realm First Layer expert.

"Haha, whether it’s a rumor or not, why don’t you try and find out?"

"What, are you scared?"

"Using the phrase you often use, if you’re scared, just kneel down and knock your head on the ground three times, and I might consider letting you off."

Lin Chen looked at Yu Chuan and let out a faint cold smile.

Hearing this, Yu Chuan’s lips twitched, his face full of disdain.

"Hmph, do you think I’m one of those fools? Do you really think I believe you possess that kind of strength?"

"It’s nothing but alarmist talk, rumors that escalated as they were passed on, today I will expose your true face in front of everyone, and then let’s see what kind of face you will have."

Yu Chuan coldly laughed.

"Is that so?"

"It seems you are a man who talks too much, yet it remains to be seen what your abilities amount to."

"Perhaps, you are just someone only capable of engaging in a war of words."

Lin Chen spoke as he looked at Yu Chuan.

As soon as his words fell, Yu Chuan was indeed provoked, tightening his grip on the massive black Great Que Sword, gathering energy, and fiercely slashing down at Lin Chen.

An incomparable black Sword Qi, vast and broad, shot directly towards Lin Chen.

As the Sword Qi passed, space seemed to be torn open with a gaping void.

Seeing this, Lin Chen’s expression slightly changed, becoming solemn.

Yu Chuan being ranked fifth among the Ten Great True Disciples, his strength was naturally not to be underestimated.

The sword strike in front of him was enough to slay any ordinary Nirvana Realm First Layer expert.

However, in Lin Chen’s eyes, this Sword Qi didn’t seem so powerful.

Lin Chen, during his time in the Descension Ruins, had comprehended eight types of Dao Intents, and now, the Wind Intent was no longer so fearsome to him.

He could see through the essence of the power within the Giant Sword, which was merely a combination of Wind Intent and Gravity Intent.

Although Lin Chen had not mastered Gravity Intent, he had mastered the Earth Intent and Gold Intent from the Five Elements, which bore similarities to Gravity Intent. Combined with Lin Chen’s powerful physique, this sword strike did not pose a threat to him.

"With just this level of power, you are not enough to defeat me."

"Come on, show your real skills."

Lin Chen spoke indifferently, and then swung his hand, a tremendously strong gust of wind erupted from him, spreading outwards, instantly covering a hundred zhang radius, forming an invisible hurricane barrier.

Yu Chuan’s Giant Sword Qi crashed into Lin Chen’s hurricane barrier, but could not break it.

Three breaths later, Yu Chuan’s Sword Qi gradually dissipated under the impact of the hurricane barrier.

Faced with Yu Chuan’s attack, Lin Chen did not summon a weapon, but effortlessly dissolved the strike with his bare hands.

This scene caused Yu Chuan to furrow his brows, and the surrounding spectators were shockingly watching Lin Chen.

"Is this... the Power of Taoist Charm?"

"The Rhyme of the Wind’s Path?"

"No wonder he’s so confident, the Rhyme of the Wind’s Path is difficult to comprehend as it can both attack and defend, I couldn’t have imagined he had mastered it."

"Yu Chuan has also mastered the Rhyme of the Wind’s Path, I wonder whose power is superior."

"Didn’t you see Yu Chuan’s Sword Qi being dissolved? And Lin Chen didn’t even use a weapon."

"It seems the sagas of the battle at Endless Sky are true after all, Brother Lin Chen’s strength is indeed formidable!"

"Hey, didn’t he join our sect later than us, making him our junior brother?"

The crowd watching below were filled with astonishment after witnessing the battle between Lin Chen
