Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 284: The Fall

Chapter 284: Chapter 284: The Fall

Feeling the majestic Spiritual Power on Ling Chen becoming even more powerful, the watching cultivators were also filled with disbelief.

The Ling Chen who once single-handedly defeated five contestants from the Tianluo Academy, was he actually still hiding his strength?

"So what if you were hiding your strength? You absolutely won’t be able to catch my next attack!"

Jiang Wusheng gritted his teeth as he said.

There was still a great disparity between the initial stage of the fifth level of the Primordial Pill Realm and the latter stage of the second level.

And yet, a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique could only make up the gap of two levels of Spiritual Power.

He still has the upper hand!

Now that he knew Ling Chen’s true strength, he naturally would not be careless next time.

It was only a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, and not only Ling Chen could cultivate it successfully.

He could too!

"Shattering Moon!"

Ling Chen let out a low shout.

Spiritual Power surged into the black longsword in his hand, triggering a wave of black Sword Qi, slashing towards Jiang Wusheng’s black Sword Qi.

"Boom!"

The two Sword Qis collided fiercely in mid-air, creating a thunderous roar that even seemed to shake the very sky.

These two attacks had reached the level of a mid-stage Primordial Pill Realm cultivator!

It was by far the most powerful attack in the Eight Palaces Martial Contest!

"Break!"

The corner of Jiang Wusheng’s mouth curled up, uttering a single word.

Ling Chen’s attack was completely within his expectations.

Once the word fell, the two Sword Qis in the sky indeed changed.

The two Sword Qis had been consumed to their limit, and the winner was about to be decided.

"How does that medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique matter? It’s still..."

He had not finished his sentence when his gaze suddenly sharpened, and his smile froze on his face.

"How is this possible?!"

Jiang Wusheng’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.

Because he saw that Ling Chen’s Sword Qi had actually shattered his Sword Qi and continued slashing towards him...

He was clearly supposed to have the advantage!

But now was not the time to think.

He moved swiftly, sidestepping three zhang to the left to dodge the oncoming Sword Qi.

Due to the previous consumption of the two Sword Qis, the speed of Ling Chen’s attack had greatly decreased, allowing him to easily avoid it.

"This..."

At this moment, the entire area fell into a dead silence.

Everyone’s eyes were wide open, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked towards Ling Chen.

In their first exchange, had Ling Chen actually gained a slight upper hand?

This was an attack from Jiang Wusheng!

"Spiritual Technique True Intent!"

Chi Shen uttered these four words from the Observation Platform.

Only with the Spiritual Technique True Intent, on top of the medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, was it possible to bridge the gap of more than two levels of Spiritual Power!

It was almost inconceivable that this Ling Chen, being only at the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm, had not only mastered a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique but also comprehended the Spiritual Technique True Intent of a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique?

"Darn it, how can this guy be so monstrous?"

Qin Shi looked at Ling Chen, his eyes filled with shock.

Lin Fuyao, Shen Xiao, Xu Lin, Su Su, and all the other geniuses were wearing faces of disbelief.

The difficulty of cultivating a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique was immense, something they knew all too well.

Yet among them, not a single one had comprehended the Spiritual Technique True Intent of a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!

Not to mention medium-grade, even the lower-grade Heavenly Spirit Techniques were rarely comprehended by anyone.

Because to understand the True Intent of a Spirit Art, one needs to devote an excessive amount of time.

It’s much less cost-effective than cultivating a stronger Spirit Art.

"This is the Spiritual Technique True Intent?"

At this moment, Jiang Wusheng also came to the realization, his eyes fixed on Ling Chen.

"Indeed!"

Ling Chen nodded slightly.

Now that he had displayed it, he had no intention of continuing to hide.

"I respectfully acknowledge my inferiority in Spirit Art talent!"

Jiang Wusheng spoke coldly, "However, what we are comparing now is strength, not Spirit Art talent!"

"Soul Seizing Slash!"

Jiang Wusheng shouted coldly, immediately launching another attack.

This Soul Seizing Slash was a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!

Once again, a black Sword Qi burst forth from the sword, carrying a tremendously sharp force, slashing towards Ling Chen anew.

With Ling Chen’s talent in Spirit Art, once he grows up, I’m afraid even I would be no match for him.

To eliminate such an enemy in the cradle is the best choice!

Although Tianluo Academy extended an olive branch to Ling Chen, if Ling Chen dies, the academy certainly won’t act against me for a dead person.

Besides, am I not a young master from one of the Eight Great Families?

Even Tianluo Academy would have to give some face to my Jiang Family!

They would absolutely not trouble me over a dead person!

"Stop!"

Ye Fan roared angrily.

In the momentary lapse just now, to my surprise, Jiang Wusheng actually unleashed a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique.

This strike is something Ling Chen absolutely won’t be able to catch!

Ling Chen’s talent in Divine Soul is so astonishing; his death here would be a huge loss for the Great Xia Dynasty.

But I’m too far away from Ling Chen to offer assistance in time.

Am I to simply watch helplessly as a genius with a brilliant Divine Soul talent falls here?

As he shouted out, Chi Shen, who was beside him, moved and charged straight towards Ling Chen.

"Bang!"

Chi Shen, holding a longsword, slashed through the Defensive Spirit Array and continued rushing toward Ling Chen.

"Be careful!"

Mo Han also roared angrily.

He definitely did not wish for Ling Chen to die here.

Xu Qing, Li Xuan, and other Palace Masters all showed worried expressions.

Only Zhao Tianwu wore a look of schadenfreude.

Ling Chen had insulted him and let him be slapped by Chi Shen in front of a crowd, a humiliating disgrace!

Now, seeing Ling Chen about to die at Jiang Wusheng’s hands, felt incredibly satisfying to him.

"Don’t!"

Ling Wu’s face was tear-streaked as she shouted in utter grief.

"Die for me!"

Jiang Wusheng sneered sinisterly.

This fellow who offended him was about to receive his deserved punishment.

And that was death!

A mere bumpkin dares to offend someone like me from a noble family; utterly ignorant of life and death!

Black Sword Qi swiftly slashed toward Ling Chen.

However, it seemed that Ling Chen still had no intention of making a move.

As if he had been frightened to the point of stupor, he stood motionless in midair.

"Whoosh!"

A Sword Qi flew from a distance, cutting towards the black Sword Qi.

It was Chi Shen’s attack.

Hoping to resolve this strike for Ling Chen.

However, the distance was too far.

His Sword Qi hadn’t even traveled that far, certainly not before the black Sword Qi would have already landed on Ling Chen.

"Ling Chen, don’t zone out, use your Divine Soul Telekinesis and Spiritual Power together, quickly!"

Chi Shen almost roared out.

At this moment, all eyes converged on Ling Chen.

"Hehe."

Ling Chen cracked a smile.

The glow of Spiritual Power on his body grew even stronger.

Especially the light on his legs, which intensified significantly.

Seeing that Ling Chen could still smile at this time, Jiang Wusheng was somewhat confused.

"Have you given up to despair?"

Jiang Wusheng quickly figured it out.

This appearance of Ling Chen, not planning to resist, obviously indicated he had given up to despair.

Yes!

Even if Ling Chen wanted to resist this attack, how could he?

His mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique attack can only be defended if Ling Chen could unleash a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, otherwise, he certainly cannot withstand it!

"This is the price for offending this young master!"

Jiang Wusheng looked at Ling Chen somewhat sorrowfully, "May you be more discerning in your next life! Some people are not to be trifled with!"

At this moment, his black Sword Qi finally landed on Ling Chen.

"No!"

Dozens of roars sounded.

Ye Fan, Chi Shen, Mo Han, and others showed faces of despair.

Has this brilliant young man truly fallen here?
