Chapter 1200: Chapter 1199: Mind’s Eye
"Ling Chen is truly remarkable; regardless of how the situation changes, he always maintains a calm demeanor and sees through everything."
Sima Xiaoyao expressed his admiration, Ling Chen’s incredible insight is impressive. Without Ling Chen’s reminder, he might have become impulsive and rushed forward, only to face failure.
"It’s wise to listen to him."
Liu Mengru also breathed a sigh of relief; her cousin has never disappointed anyone.
Whoosh!
Just then, a figure dashed to the center of the arena like a speeding meteor, descending from the sky like a Divine Sword, piercing fiercely into the ground.
As the light dissipated, a young swordsman appeared in view, dressed in a python robe, exuding an overbearing style.
"The Crown Prince, Peerless Sword!"
Many people’s expressions turned solemn.
Peerless Sword, who ranked second on the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall early on, became world-famous among the younger generation. Since joining Sword Casting Villa, his reputation has only increased, although his defeat to Ling Chen at the Heavenly Sword Conference caused a dip. Yet, at this Nine Streams Conference, Peerless Sword returned overbearing, determined to reclaim his honor and aspire to high ranks.
In the Renjie Region, Peerless Sword defeated a Heavenly Pride Level young genius with a single sword strike. Now, making his overbearing move again, people couldn’t help but anticipate the outcome.
Peerless Sword’s opponent is none other than Leng Qianshang.
"Demon Movement 3000!"
Leng Qianshang was well aware that Peerless Sword is no ordinary opponent. Since his defeat to Ling Chen, he dared not underestimate the younger generation. Thus, he launched a kill move, without the slightest hesitation.
Behind him, the shadow of a demon formed, this punch like a black meteor striking fiercely toward Peerless Sword.
"Heavenly Dragon Instant Kill Sword!"
Peerless Sword suddenly drew his sword from its sheath. Standing before him was no mediocre opponent, but a top-tier young expert from Lingyue Island!
As he swung his sword, a dragon’s roar resounded, and the sword light flashed across the void, colliding with the black meteor!
Pfft!
However, at the moment the Sword Light and Fist Strength met, it pierced through the black meteor. The sword tip, like a cold star, was already aiming at Leng Qianshang’s face.
With his pupils suddenly contracting, Leng Qianshang floated back; while retreating, he crossed his fists before his chest to block the approaching cold star.
The next moment, he punched forward again, both fists delivering a series of black meteors, shooting out violently, turning the area ahead into a Purgatory.
"Azure Dragon Nine Styles!"
Peerless Sword’s sword qi reached its peak, his hair dancing wildly. The Sword Momentum merged with True Qi, forming into an Azure Dragon shape around him.
With a fierce shout, he charged forward like a swimming dragon, quick as lightning, heading straight for Leng Qianshang.
The dragon swerved agilely, its body twisting rapidly, evading the black meteors perfectly.
In Leng Qianshang’s constricted gaze, Peerless Sword suddenly appeared in front of him, and the dragon-shaped sword qi smashed onto Leng Qianshang’s body.
Pfft!
His chest a bloody mess, Leng Qianshang was flung backward, blood scattering across the sky.
"Has the once-lethal move become a mere standard technique?"
Ling Chen’s gaze tightened.
Heavenly Dragon Instant Kill Sword was once Peerless Sword’s trump card, yet now it was casually executed. It seemed the opponent had new cards up his sleeve.
Peerless Sword, indeed worthy of being second on the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall, was far superior to ordinary geniuses, his progress remarkably swift.
"Peerless Sword has also joined the ranks of Heavenly Prides."
Watching Peerless Sword defeat Leng Qianshang and take a seat among the Heavenly Prides, Liu Mengru’s beautiful eyes glimmered for a moment, before she moved and appeared in the arena.
Seeing Liu Mengru step out, Ling Chen’s eyes lit slightly. His cousin was no ordinary person either. In terms of talent, she was not far off from Peerless Sword, though perhaps not as diligent in cultivation.
Since losing to Peerless Sword at the last Heavenly Sword Conference, Liu Mengru had been spurred. At this Nine Streams Conference, she also sought to prove herself, no less than Peerless Sword.
Liu Mengru’s opponent was a young talent from Desolate Fire City, known as Transparent Heart Deng Tong, whose eyes were rumored to see through any martial arts flaw, even illusions, leaving nothing hidden before him.
"Why would Liu Mengru choose Deng Tong as her opponent? Deng Tong likely restrains her somewhat."
Sima Xiaoyao was surprised.
"Since my cousin chose so, there must be her reason."
Ling Chen wasn’t too worried. Liu Mengru was extremely smart, and her choice was likely well-considered, not made blindly.
"Liu Mengru, choosing me as your opponent is not wise."
Deng Tong clearly recognized Liu Mengru. He raised his eyebrows but didn’t regard her seriously, speaking nonchalantly.
"Not necessarily."
Liu Mengru’s lips curved into a smile, but the next moment was replaced by a sharp intent.
She swiftly raised her hands, forming seals, countless stars seemed to emerge in an instant from a black hole, the heavens and earth clear. Each star radiated brilliant light, reflecting together to form a complex Curse Seal.
With a sudden release of her hands, the Seal, carrying a hint of destiny, enveloped Deng Tong.
"Hmph, before me, you’re full of flaws!"
Deng Tong’s eyes flashed with a dark light, like two whirlpools rolling within. In his gaze, Liu Mengru’s body was adorned with gray spots, flaws apparent to him.
With a "zoom," Deng Tong suddenly dashed forward, his Grey Spear aiming for Liu Mengru’s largest flaw.
"Indeed, Deng Tong has technique."
Seeing this, Ling Chen was surprised. Such martial arts to see others’ flaws likely requires extraordinary talent to master. Even if Deng Tong’s strength wasn’t great, he could often defeat stronger opponents because he knew their weak points.
