Chapter 616: Chapter 636: If You Don’t Leave Something Behind, You Can’t Go _1

"Clang!"

"Clang, clang, clang!"

A series of continuous impact sounds rang out as Liu Qiang’s flying sword fluttered up and down, trying various angles in an attempt to break through the San Sheng Sword held by Lin Chen.

The San Sheng Sword was like a dragon with a cold glint at every point. Every cold glint could precisely strike the flying sword. Each strike was like hitting a venomous snake with a stick, causing it to lose strength instantly and only able to flip back to gather energy for the next attack.

During Lin Chen’s last battle against Zhou Wuyuan, Lin Chen directly broke his opponent’s flying sword with simple and brutal slashes. Today, with an absolute advantage in strength against Liu Qiang, Lin Chen wasn’t in a hurry and causally countered. In doing so, he discovered a new insight.

Flying swords indeed have an advantage in attacking with longer range and flexible manipulation, but they also have an obvious downside. The amount of spiritual energy a flying sword can carry is limited, and while it is faster and more flexible, its force cannot be compared to a sword held in hand.

Lin Chen’s sword could accurately strike Liu Qiang’s flying sword each time, successfully hindering it from breaking through the long sword in his hand. On one hand, it was due to the disparity in strength between them. On the other hand, it was because Liu Qiang’s flying sword wasn’t fast enough and couldn’t compete with the force exerted by the sword.

The power of a flying sword lies in one word.

Fast!

So fast that you can’t defend against it, and it pierces through your body, bringing you victory.

Liu Qiang’s flying sword was fast, but it was only just fast, and it hadn’t broken through Lin Chen’s defenses. So no matter how long the two fought, as long as Lin Chen didn’t lose focus, the flying sword couldn’t breach more than three feet of his body.

Lin Chen felt that attacking with flying swords was cool, but this method of holding a long sword and defending up close was just as reassuring.

He wondered if there were any sword techniques for this?

If there were, he would like to learn them.

Winning against others is good, but not being defeated and not dying is the most important.

After fighting for a while, Lin Chen’s sword became more and more smooth and elegant. He decided not to waste more time. With one sword strike on the flying sword, he suddenly swept across it with a horizontal slash during the moment the flying sword was paused mid-air.

"Clang!"

Liu Qiang’s flying sword instantly flew sideways and shot into a nearby rock wall, while Liu Qiang’s face suddenly turned pale, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Liu Qiang reached out to retrieve the flying sword but realized that it wouldn’t easily come loose from the rock wall. He awkwardly jumped onto the rock wall, smashed it with one punch, and finally recovered his flying sword.

Seeing this, Lin Chen felt that the flying sword was indeed powerful, but it seemed to have many drawbacks as well.

If he could control multiple flying swords, that might be even more powerful.

Controlling multiple flying swords should be difficult for an average cultivator.

Lin Chen was just starting on the path of cultivation and had many ideas during combat.

Lin Chen’s gaze shifted to Fatty Xiang Qiu’s face: "It seems like he’s done. How about you? Do you want to come and try?"

Xiang Qiu’s eyes showed fear, and he put on a fake smile: "My strength is similar to his. I don’t need to try. Junior brother, we just wanted to find an excuse to have a friendly match with you. Don’t take it to heart."

Backing down?

Lin Chen gave a slight smile: "That’s right. I’m new here and don’t know anything about this place. As senior brothers, you should be warm-hearted and offer some help to newcomers like me. Show me some appreciation, huh?"

Liu Qiang and Xiang Qiu suddenly widened their eyes. They looked at each other subconsciously and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

Was this guy blackmailing them?

He was a newcomer; how dare he?

Liu Qiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Kid, don’t think you’ve won and everything is settled. We’re with Brother Guli! The reason we wanted to exchange cave mansions with you is for his sake. Once Brother Guli takes action, you’ll be finished."

Lin Chen casually asked: "What’s his strength? Golden Core, Nascent Soul?"

Liu Qiang’s face stiffened, and then he cursed: "Do you think Golden Core and Nascent Soul are that easy to achieve? If they were, would we still live in these mountains and not join the Four Great Sects?"

Lin Chen immediately felt reassured. It seemed that the cultivators living in Flying Waterfall Mountain weren’t very powerful, and the powerful ones had already joined the Four Great Sects.

Lin Chen said indifferently: "If you don’t show me some appreciation, it just means you don’t welcome the newcomer and even bully me. If I rise up in resistance and beat you two, breaking a few bones and have you recover for several months, it should be normal, right?"

Liu Qiang and Xiang Qiu’s faces changed again.

This kid was blatantly threatening them!

"You dare! This is Fei Pu Peak, not the outside world. If you dare to hit us, Elder Brother Gu will deal with you later!"

Lin Chen held the San Sheng Sword and walked towards the two, saying indifferently: "Whatever happens tomorrow can be dealt with tomorrow. If you don’t leave something behind today, you won’t be leaving!"
