Chapter 278: Chapter 278: The Cruelty Begins to Show

Ling Chen glanced at Zhang Yun in the sky, then turned to Chen Yichen and said, "Senior Brother Chen, could you check if Zhang Yun’s right index finger is missing? I severed it! I suspect he is taking revenge because of it. But he is no match for me, and it’s very likely he’ll vent his anger on you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yichen looked over and indeed noticed that Zhang Yun’s right index finger was missing.

He looked at Ling Chen somewhat astonished, not expecting such enmity between them.

"No worries! I’ll just show some strength in the fight, and then immediately admit defeat," Chen Yichen smiled.

He was the leader of the group, how could he retreat without fighting?

At this moment, Zhang Yun in the sky glanced over and sneered, "What’s the matter? If you’re scared to fight, then get lost, don’t waste my time!"

Hearing this, Chen Yichen became furious.

He almost charged towards Zhang Yun.

Seeing Chen Yichen so determined, Ling Chen quickly grabbed him and handed him a black longsword, saying, "Just in case."

This black longsword was a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon.

Chen Yichen was momentarily stunned, then reacted with immense joy.

His cultivation was also at the early second level of the Primordial Pill Realm, however, equipped with the Golden Spirit Body which was not as strong as Zhang Yun’s Super Spiritual Body – the Thunder Spirit Body.

However, with this mid-grade Spiritual Weapon, he could definitely defeat his opponent.

How could he not be overjoyed?

As for the promise of admitting defeat, it was already swept out of his mind by the sudden surge of excitement.

"Arrogant brat, die!"

With a roar, Chen Yichen appeared opposite Zhang Yun.

"You’re the one who’s going to die!"

Zhang Yun robustly retorted.

He naturally saw Ling Chen hand over the mid-grade Spiritual Weapon to Chen Yichen.

His eyes slightly narrowed, a plan forming in his mind.

Before the contest even began, the tension between the two was palpable.

Such an atmosphere naturally excited the countless watching cultivators.

"Begin!"

As Xiao Yun’s voice fell, both men’s bodies radiated as they released their Spiritual Power.

"Heavenly Heart Sword Technique!"

"Eight Desolate Slash!"

Almost simultaneously, two shouts echoed.

In that moment, they both launched their attacks.

Both were straightforward, launching full-powered strikes without any probing!

Two Sword Qi swiftly formed, each slashing towards their opponent.

One wielded the late third-level Primordial Pill Realm Spiritual Power, the other early third level.

Although Chen Yichen was slightly inferior in terms of Spiritual Power, with the mid-grade Spiritual Weapon in his hand, he believed this strike was enough to teach Zhang Yun a lesson!

"Boom!"

The two Sword Qi collided, creating an earth-shattering noise and sending waves of energy rippling around them.

"Just as I thought!"

A triumphant smile appeared on Chen Yichen’s face.

The sword energies acted just as he expected, not stalling but his Sword Qi gaining the upper hand, shattering his opponent’s and continuing towards Zhang Yun.

"How is this possible?!"

At that moment, Zhang Yun let out an incredulous roar.

Spiritual Power surged from within his body, hastily setting up three layers of Spiritual Power Defense.

Despite the consumption of his lower-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique Sword Qi, the force of Chen Yichen’s attack was not something simple Spiritual Power could compare to!

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Three muffled sounds were heard, and the three layers of Spiritual Power Defense were immediately breached.

The Sword Qi, carrying tremendous force, poured down on Zhang Yun’s longsword before him.

"Bang!"

Zhang Yun’s body was sent flying backwards, stopping only after traveling more than fifty meters.

"Pfft!"

Just landing, Zhang Yun spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.

Seeing this, a more triumphant expression spread across Chen Yichen’s face.

The spectators witnessed Chen Yichen’s blow injuring Zhang Yun, their faces filled with surprise.

When Ling Chen gave Chen Yichen a medium-grade Spiritual Weapon, everyone saw it.

Could it be that Zhang Yun didn’t know?

Why would he still dare to clash head-on with Chen Yichen?

"You should just admit defeat!"

Chen Yichen laughed out loud, his figure charged forward for thirty feet, and then another Sword Qi of Heavenly Heart Sword Technique slashed towards Zhang Yun.

He hadn’t expected that his first battle would be won so easily!

Zhang Yun, who was not injured, was no match for him, let alone now with serious injuries?

He felt as if victory was waving at him!

"How dare you!"

Zhang Yun roared in anger, his mouth corner spilling out blood due to the excitement.

However, facing Chen Yichen’s attack, he could not care about his injuries and hurriedly infused his Spiritual Power into the Spiritual Weapon in his hand.

"Eight Desolate Slash!"

He bellowed, similarly releasing a slash of Sword Qi.

"Such minor skill, stop embarrassing yourself!"

Chen Yichen stood with his hands behind his back, sneering.

He believed this strike would be enough to make his opponent concede.

"Boom!"

The two Sword Qis collided again, creating a deafening loud noise.

This time, his Sword Qi was instantly crushed, unlike before.

"How is this possible?!"

Chen Yichen’s smile froze, his face filled with disbelief.

However, while he was stunned, Zhang Yun’s Sword Qi was already thundering towards him.

By the time he reacted, he could only manage to form a layer of Spiritual Power Defense in front of him, not even having time to position the medium-grade Spiritual Weapon in front.

"Bang!"

Zhang Yun’s Sword Qi fiercely struck Chen Yichen.

However, his front’s Spiritual Power Defense couldn’t withstand such a formidable Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi sliced through as if through nobody’s business, directly hitting Chen Yichen’s flesh.

"Sss!"

The sound of Sword Qi penetrating the body was heard, and Chen Yichen was directly bisected at the waist.

"No!"

Chen Yichen looked down, horrified to find the lower half of his body falling towards the ground below.

And then, his consciousness gradually blurred.

His upper body also fell downward.

"You think you’re worthy to tell me to admit defeat?"

Zhang Yun licked his lips, his eyes revealing a fierce glint.

At that moment, absolute silence pervaded the scene.

Everyone’s gaze converged on Zhang Yun.

Nobody expected that a prodigy from the Eight Great Academies would actually fall...

"Sword, come forth!"

Different from everyone else’s shock, Zhang Yun felt a great sense of achievement.

He moved swiftly to the front of Chen Yichen’s upper half of the corpse, quickly snatching the latter’s storage ring.

Then, his right hand emitted a suction force, catching the medium-grade Spiritual Weapon that was falling towards the river below.

Finally, with full satisfaction, he soared up into the sky, shooting a defiant look at Ling Chen , his right hand flaunting Chen Yichen’s storage ring and Ling Chen’s medium-grade Spiritual Weapon!

Ling Chen cut off his finger, so he killed a man from True Martial Academy.

Ling Chen stole his storage ring and medium-grade Spiritual Weapon; now he had stolen Ling Chen’s medium-grade Spiritual Weapon.

This was Zhang Yun’s retaliation!

"Thump thump!"

At this time, Chen Yichen’s halved corpse finally fell into the river below, causing two large splashes.

The sound of the splashes finally snapped the bewildered spectators out of their daze.

"How did he do that?"

Many people were utterly confused.

They couldn’t understand how Chen Yichen, who was previously at an advantage, was suddenly slain by Zhang Yun with a single strike.
