Chapter 2044: Chapter 2044: Pure Luck!
The moment the sharpness was revealed, everyone present felt a soul-crushing sensation, as if a needle had fiercely pierced their hearts!
Those who had already stepped back retreated further; they had no desire to be caught in harm’s way while spectating!
The trajectory of this sword was extremely eerie, difficult for anyone to capture.
Usually, there are traces to follow between any two points, some connection to be found in between.
However, Wu Che’s sword seemed to traverse from one point to another abruptly and unexpectedly!
"Impressive!"
Even Hong Yan couldn’t help but praise when he saw this sword technique.
After all, he was the Sect Master of the Lingwu Sect, and earning his praise was a rare achievement!
"Elder Hai, I think Wu Che’s ’Heavenly Teasing Sword’ is almost catching up to yours!"
One elder remarked with a smile.
"I say, give it a few more years, and he’ll surpass you!"
Another elder chimed in agreement.
The other elders all nodded in approval.
When a sect disciple performs such a remarkable feat, the elders naturally feel gratified.
This, however, caused the elders to now look at Su Chen with a hint of sympathy.
They were indeed quite curious about this young man named Su Chen, who had stirred such ripples within the sect in just a few days.
It was rumored that this young man had even slain Zhang Tao and Zhou Wu!
However, they were skeptical of these claims.
After all, those two had reached the fifth or sixth turn of the Pure Origin Realm, while that young man was merely stepping onto the Great Supreme Realm.
A world of difference!
Besides, these were mere conjectures, without eyewitnesses.
But even if true, it didn’t matter.
Because, compared to Zhang Tao and Zhou Wu, Wu Che was on another level entirely!
The two elders most concerned about Su Chen were those who had seen him during the complex assessments, as he had made a profound impression on them that day!
At this moment, the woman beside Hong Yan remained quiet, though her beautiful eyes occasionally flashed with anticipation.
Su Chen, too, appreciated the sword technique.
Indeed, there had to be a reason for this guy’s well-known reputation and his many followers in the Lingwu Sect.
However, for Su Chen, it was merely that!
Even the eerily unpredictable sword route was nothing extraordinary to Su Chen.
Because he possessed strong spiritual power!
This allowed him to easily capture the trajectory of that sword!
At the same time, Su Chen made his move!
"Thousand Hand Seal!"
He shouted, striking out with his palm, and instantly a palm print manifested!
This was no simple strike; the power of the Thousand Hand Seal was unleashed to its fullest, along with the fully boiling power of his Third Rank bloodline!
Moreover, eighty million strands of Star Energy were infused within it.
Recently, he had found that the speed at which he cultivated Star Energy was increasing, gathering eighty million strands in just a day or two, so he used it without hesitation now.
"Could it be Stellar Power?!"
Nonetheless, what he didn’t realize was that the tranquil woman beside Hong Yan, upon seeing the faint blue energy in the palm print, was filled with disbelief!
At this moment, she hesitated.
If this young man truly found himself on the brink of life and death, should she lend a hand?
Then, the palm print, as if equipped with radar, surged towards the sword!
Upon seeing the direction of the palm print, Wu Che’s expression drastically changed!
How could this guy capture the trajectory of my sword?!
Impossible!
A fluke!
It must be a fluke!
But even if it was a fluke, he had guessed correctly!
However, Wu Che’s face soon regained a confident look!
Even if he guessed correctly, so what?
Could he possibly fend off this sword?!
At this point, some elders were filled with astonishment, seeing that the trajectory of the sword had been discerned and noting that Su Chen’s first step was successful!
This truly surprised them, although they couldn’t decide if it was unintentional!
Nevertheless, the elders remained skeptical, as it was merely the first step!
The crucial aspect was the power of this palm print!
In this regard, they were truly not optimistic!
They as much, least of all others!
Gu Yunyan was anxious to the utmost, wanting desperately to help but unable to do so!
For she couldn’t capture the trajectory of Wu Che’s sword!
"Boom, boom, boom~~~"
At the next moment, a fierce clash erupted, the residual energy waves akin to rampaging demons, divine mountains overturning, collapsing the void with a roar!
Yet, what dropped everyone’s jaws was the scene that unfolded!
What was clearly visible was!
The immense power carried by the sword completely disintegrated upon impact, like a pierced water bag, spilling out entirely.
Within a fraction of a breath, a figure staggered back, step by struggling step, retreating a full fifty steps before stopping.
It was Wu Che!
Meanwhile, Su Chen still stood there, as immovable as a pine, not having budged a single step!
Everyone was stunned!
Who would have thought that in this duel, the new disciple of the Outer Sect would gain the upper hand!
"Pfft!"
Just stabilizing his footing, Wu Che couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood, splattering conspicuously on the ground!
Looking again at his chest, his clothes were in tatters, full of grievous wounds, bleeding continuously!
The elders each looked at one another, expectation in their eyes for an explanation from someone else!
Yet, all they saw, just like their own, was confusion!
No one could comprehend what had occurred?!
This was Wu Che after all!
Although Hong Yan had more confidence in Su Chen than these elders, he hadn’t foreseen such an outcome!
The only one who remained relatively composed was the woman beside Hong Yan, as if this result was only natural!
Gu Yunyan was also utterly agape, her beautiful eyes filled with nothing but shock!
She knew Su Chen was strong, but never imagined he was this powerful!
Too monstrous!
Yet she was relieved that Su Chen was fine!
She finally understood why, even when she was so worried before, this guy remained unconcerned!
She felt deceived, but in retrospect, he never really misled her!
From start to finish, she had worried all on her own!
At this moment, Wu Che’s eyes seemed to blaze with fire!
For Wu Che, this was an unprecedented humiliation!
He was truly enraged!
Never had he felt such anger, he seemed about to explode entirely!
Although everyone was astounded by Su Chen’s performance, Su Chen himself felt dissatisfied that he hadn’t resolved it in a single move!
Fortunately, others didn’t know his thoughts, or they might have been driven mad!
After all, this was Wu Che, not just anyone!
