At this moment, Ling Chen’s speed reached its peak as he and his two daggers seemed to merge into a terrifying sword light!
In the path of the sword, there was the saying ‘one with the sword’ that emphasized the unity of one’s sword and body as well as the sword and the heart.
At this moment, Ling Chen utilized Misty Steps and a martial skill to literally simulate this effect. The terrifying power tore the air around him.
Rrrip! Rrrip!
Ear-piercing shrieks pierced the air like a steel knife cutting an iron plate. Flames even appeared in the air.
Could Li Xinghui truly stop this terrifying?
Most of the young martial artists shivered: if they faced this move, they would lose without a doubt.
They wouldn’t have any chance to counterattack.
“The unity of sword and body. I never thought that this Ling Chen would also be a genius. I fear this move has already reached the attack power of some Peak Rank Six Martial Vein martial artists!”
“He won’t win, will he?” Shi Yulian asked.
“No, using this move, he will be defeated faster. Although this attack is powerful, it has a limit. Perhaps, it might cause a bit of trouble for Li Xinghui, but it won’t have a great effect.”
Ling Xiao shook his head.
Excitement flashed through Li Xinghui’s face.
“Ling Chen, you can be proud of forcing me to use my third martial skill!”
In front of this terrifying killing move, Li Xinghui not only didn’t shrink back but instead became more excited.
He was truly a monster.
Encountering such a monster and losing in three moves, Ling Chen was no failure.
After he spoke, Li Xinghui finally changed his posture.
He lay on the ground like a fierce tiger preparing to hunt its prey.
At that moment, his entire body screamed of bestial instincts.
His mouth no longer produced a human voice but a wild beast’s roar.
“Tiger King Strength!”
It was a martial art similar to Barbarian Bull Strength.
However, as a Rare Peak Martial Art, its grade was quite a few times higher.
Although he had only cultivated it to the small success realm, its might was quite terrifying.
When he used it, it was like a tiger king had descended to earth.
When he roared, several timid martial artists nearly lost control over their bladders.
He pounced forward like a fierce tiger.
Without a doubt, this was the strongest move that he had yet displayed in this year’s Heavenly Peak Gathering.
The fierce tiger and the sharp sword collided like thunder and fire.
According to rumor, this explosion of thunder and fire could directly kill martial artists below Peak Rank Six Martial Vein. Even martial artists at Rank Seven Martial Vein could be seriously injured.
Boom!
Gang qi radiated all around!
A fierce wind blew all around!
The fire and light interwove to create a terrifying scene.
No one could clearly see what was happening in the arena as the effects of those terrifying attacks blocked their sight.
“Too powerful!”
“Is this truly a battle between Rank Six Martial Vein martial artists?”
“The terrifying power produced by their collision has already reached the attack power of Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein.”
“Yes, it’s too terrifying. Compared to this one attack, the previous exchanges were simply too inferior.”
“Who won?”
“Li Xinghui or Ling Chen?”
The dazzling effect gradually disappeared, and the two young martial artists finally appeared once more.
Li Xinghui was still free and unrestrained.
He didn’t have an awkward appearance at all, and not even his hair or clothes were damaged in the slightest as if he had never exerted himself.
However, Ling Xiao noticed that Li Xinghui’s breathing was somewhat rapid.
In this fight, he had used a lot of his energy, but he had never used that incomplete martial soul to attack.
It seemed he wanted to set it aside for later.
Just like Ling Xiao, he was unwilling to display all his hidden trumps.
Ling Chen, however, was in a miserable state.
His broken arms were bent so that he could no longer move them. In fact, this level of injury was nothing.
For the Ling Clan, it was easy to heal such injuries.
The more important matter was the lifeless look in his eyes.
He knelt there without any of his previous pride.
He had lost!
Lost in just three moves!
Although he had used his strongest attack, he was still unable to defeat Li Xinghui or inflict the slightest damage on his opponent.
Was there such a huge gap between them?
He couldn’t believe this.
“You actually guessed it right!”
Shi Yulian looked at Ling Xiao with surprise.
“Not guessed but analyzed.”
Ling Xiao shook his head. “Ling Chen lacks one thing compared to Li Xinghui, and that makes a world of a difference.”
One should know that a 10% martial will could condense a 10% incomplete martial soul. That 10% incomplete martial soul had the possibility to become a complete martial soul.
Ling Chen hadn’t even comprehended a martial will, so how could he be Li Xinghui’s opponent?
In this world, there were more than martial arts and cultivation bases. For the Human Race, the martial soul was the crux to their strength.
“What thing?”
Shi Yulian asked.
“I don’t know. Merely, I have this feeling.”
Ling Xiao shrugged.
“You are so powerful! Why don’t you challenge Li Xinghui without feigning defeat like before!”
Shi Yulian suddenly asked with a smile.
“There’s no need to incite me. I already plan to do so. Although Heavenly Peak Gathering doesn’t prevent a person from challenging someone on their side, I would definitely be despised by the Ling Clan if I challenged Ling Chen. Now that he has been defeated by Li Xinghui, this is the best time to challenge Li Xinghui.”
Ling Xiao smiled.
“Are you truly going to challenge Li Xinghui? Be careful or you might also lose in three moves.”
Shi Yulian warned with a smile.
“Many thanks for your concern, Miss Yulian, but he is not my opponent.”
Ling Xiao smiled and jumped onto the first arena, leaving behind a stunned Shi Yulian.
“I’m sorry, Noble Son Xinghui. I didn’t like other people forcing me to challenge you, so I intentionally lost before. Do you mind if I challenge you again?”
He looked at Li Xinghui and asked.
“Of course, I don’t mind!”
Li Xinghui, in fact, also wanted to swap pointers with Ling Xiao. He felt that Ling Xiao was somewhat like him since they had the same aura.
Therefore, he suspected that Ling Xiao might also have an incomplete martial soul.
“That’s good. I will give you an hour to adjust your aura and recover to your optimal state. Otherwise, some will say that I, Ling Xiaom had an unfair advantage.”
Ling Xiao simply sat opposite Li Xinghui.
“That’s not necessary. Although you are a bit stronger than Ling Chen, I just need ten moves at most to defeat you.”
This could be counted as Li Xinghui thinking highly of Ling Xiao.
Merely, this fellow’s character was similar to Ling Chen’s. He dared to speak like this even though he didn’t know the strength of his opponent. This was truly asking for his face to be slapped.
However, Li Xinghui’s words nearly made Ling Chen vomit blood because it meant that he was inferior to Ling Xiao.
“Still, it’s better to take a rest. Otherwise, when you lose miserably later, Li Clan’s face will not look good.”
Ling Xiao wanted to learn from exchanging pointers. If Li Xinghui was not at his peak state, how would that be interesting? This was why he insisted that Li Xinghui adjust his aura.
After all, this was not a life or death duel. There was no need to take advantage of the other’s illness to take his life.
“This Ling Xiao is truly arrogant.”
“Yes, but Li Xinghui seemed to be optimistic about him. He said that he needed ten moves to defeat him.”
“Could it be that he is deliberately provoking Ling Chen?”
“Hahaha, that’s very possible. Although Ling Xiao is strong, he can’t compare with Ling Chen and Li Xinghui.”
