Chapter 551- Illusory Sword Technique
Coincidences like these happened all the time.
Long Chen looked at Jian Chen, the oldest of the trio. He had to shoulder the most responsibility here. However, his expression changed when he saw the Void Sword Saint. “Ling’er, Long Chen, this is the last time I’m begging you. I can buy you some time to escape. If I don’t, all three of us will die here today.”
Long Chen and Lan Ling’er looked at each other and nodded. Long Chen replied, “Then let us die together. If we can’t face off against a strong foe together, we are not comrades.”
Jian Chen didn’t know what to do with the two of them being stubborn. He was wary of the Void Sword Saint and didn’t have time to chase both of them away.
“Sister Lan, can you hold off the Flower Martial King? Me, Third Brother, and Xiaolang will surround the Void Sword Saint. We might have a chance... “ Long Chen whispered to her.
“Xiaolang?” Both Jian Chen and Lan Ling’er were confused. Xiaolang was only at the Category Nine Heaven-tier. Could he be as strong as Long Chen?
Long Chen chuckled mysteriously. “He’s a Sun Devouring Wolf, and he’s quite a special one. Have you seen a demonic beast that could increase its tier?”
Xiaolang had indeed consumed the solar fire and increased his strength, much to the surprise of the others.
Long Chen and Xiaolang nodded before the latter entered the Primordial Realm. Xiaolang’s only lethal attack against the Void Sword Saint was the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. He would only have one chance to pop out of the Primordial Realm and give the Void Sword Saint a surprise.
Jian Chen could only consent to the plan after seeing how prepared Long Chen was. “Fine, just this once. Let’s do this.”
It wasn’t easy for him to make that decision, because he didn’t want Long Chen and Lan Ling’er to die.
They came up with the best solution in the shortest amount of time.
Just then, the obscene sounds from the Flower Martial King became louder. She raised both of her arms and hung them around the neck of the Void Sword Saint. She kept grinding her plump buttocks against the man’s body like a water snake.
“That’s enough, my darling. I will make sure to make love to you for three days and three nights after this is over,” the Void Sword Saint whispered to her.
“Three days and three nights? That’s so mean! You know I can’t handle how strong you are! Can’t you take pity on me?” the Flower Martial King replied in a shy voice.
“Have you ever heard of oxen that were worked to death, but no fields were ever tilled until they were destroyed? Especially a field like you ...” The Void Sword Saint smiled obscenely when he took his hands out of the Flower Martial King’s clothes and sniffed it. “What a lovely scent.”
“Disgusting. What a pervert. Both of them need to die.” Lan Ling’er almost puked.
Lan Ling’er’s words made the Void Sword Saint focus on her.
“Oh? Is that the legendary Ever-Changing Demon Girl? You are the girl of every man’s dream. If I get my hands on you, I could make you change your face every day and not have to find new women all the time.” The Void Sword Saint stared at her longingly.
“Scram. You want to play with women when you’re that old? You should just get a coffin so that you can bury yourself. Don’t go around scaring others with your face. No wonder my Third Brother hates you. If I had a master like you, I would slap ... No, I would cut off a piece of your flesh every day!” Lan Ling’er never stopped scolding him.
The Void Sword Saint’s face became more and more vicious.
“It seems that I have to fight for real today. My darling, I will leave her to you. Don’t harm a single strand of her hair, or I will let you ‘starve’ for half a month. You will only be able to relieve yourself when I allow it. I will go ahead and deal with that wretched disciple of mine.”
His sharp gaze fell on Jian Chen.
However, he had ignored Long Chen.
The Flower Martial King wanted to remind him that Long Chen was hard to deal with too, but then she thought she could just focus on Lan Ling’er while Long Chen would be dealt with by the Void Sword Saint.
Jian Chen shouted, “Don’t you dare call me that! I no longer have anything to do with you! We are sworn enemies!”
“You no longer have anything to do with me? Then don’t use the Illusory Sword Technique on me.” The Void Sword Saint chuckled and leaped down from the top of the wall. He stood thirty meters away from Jian Chen, and the Flower King followed him down.
Everyone on the wall repositioned to watch the battle.
It was going to start soon.
With the two of them fighting, Long Chen was the only one being ignored.
“Bitch, come over here. Let me pummel you.” Lan Ling’er was disgusted by the Flower Martial King and started cursing at her.
The Flower Martial King was outraged. She saw that Lan Ling’er had chosen her battlefield and immediately chased after her. Only Long Chen, Jian Chen, and the Void Sword Saint were left.
Long Chen and Jian Chen stood together as they observed their foe warily.
An enemy at the Second Earthly Martial Stage was not to be trifled with. Even though Jian Chen was close to advancing into the Second Earthly Martial Stage, he was weaker than the Void Sword Saint. Long Chen was even worse off since he was not even at the Three Martial Realms yet. He only had strong and bizarre techniques.
Jian Chen said nothing as he unsheathed his pure-white Cloud Sword.
“That’s the Cloud Sword that I requested from the Martial Overlord as a gift to you when you entered the Three Martial Realms.” The Void Sword Saint was pissed. He had never thought the gift he had given his disciple would be pointed at him one day.
Jian Chen took out another sword and gave it to Long Chen. “This is the advanced Heaven-tier Desolate Cleaving Sword. I used it when I was at the Heavenly Passage Realm. It should be better than yours. Use it for now. You don’t use swords to begin with and will go back to learning fist arts when you reach the Three Martial Realms, so a good sword would be wasted on you.”
He was right. Long Chen had only used a sword for the sake of the Demon Emperor Sword Technique and later on for the Heaven Sword Array. His understanding of sword arts was extremely low compared to those born as Armament Warriors.
Long Chen took it.
In front of him was the Void Sword Saint, Jian Chen’s previous master. His understanding of the sword was naturally very deep. The Void Sword Saint reached into his Universe Pouch and took out a jade-green sword, similar to Jian Chen’s Cloud Sword.
“That is the Jade Sword, an elementary King-tier Divine Arms. It’s of the same series as the Cloud Sword,” Jian Chen whispered to Long Chen.
Three men, three swords.
“This is your last chance to beg for forgiveness from the Martial Overlord. Do you yield?”
“Of course, if you kill yourself in front of me.” Jian Chen chuckled.
The Void Sword Saint relented. He knew that it would be impossible to convince Jian Chen. He slowly raised his Jade Sword. “It seems that we will settle everything here today.”
“You’re so old yet so talkative.” Jian Chen smiled.
No one would admit that they were old, much less the Void Sword Saint. He was angered by Jian Chen’s words and his eyes slowly grew bloodshot. Of course, they did not look as bad as Jian Chen’s eyes.
“I was the one who taught you the Illusory Sword Technique. Do you think you can defeat me with it?” The Void Sword Saint chuckled.
Jian Chen said nothing and slowly raised his sword too. With a whoosh, he disappeared. The Void Sword Saint disappeared with blinding speed too. The two of them started fighting furiously!
So fast! Did they forget about me? Long Chen held up the Desolate Cleaving Sword and slowly inched towards where they were fighting.
Sword.
The sword arts of those at the Earthly Martial Realm followed the same concept as those who used fists. The two of them were fighting as if their legs were stuck to the ground. Every single sword movement was chained to the soft pulse of the earth. Even though their movements were simple, they were profound and carried destructive powers beyond what one would imagine. The Void Sword Saint accidentally tapped the ground once with his sword, causing the ground to shake violently.
It was clear that Jian Chen was being suppressed from the very start. The Void Sword Saint was stronger in all aspects.
“Illusory World, Killing Words.”
“Illusory World, Killing Words.”
The sound of screeching metal could be heard as the Cloud Sword and the Jade Sword crashed into each other. Since the clash didn’t result in a shockwave, Long Chen was certain that their attacks were contained within the blades.
Jian Chen was repelled by the attack. He stood in front of Long Chen, and the latter could see that Jian Chen was visibly paler. He had used a lot of energy to fight the Void Sword Saint.
The Void Sword Saint also retreated.
“Third Brother, could you use your sword to stop him from moving for a single breath?” Long Chen whispered.
“Of course.”
“Then trust me. We will move together.” Long Chen prepared himself.
