CHAPTER 593: CHAPTER 593: THE DARK HORSE

Qin Lantian’s right hand clenched slightly as a lower-ranked King Spiritual Weapon black longsword materialized.

"Let me witness your strength!"

With the blade of the longsword directly facing Ling Chen, Qin Lantian spoke coldly.

"Purple Cloud True Martial Slash!"

Qin Lantian shouted explosively as the Spiritual Power inside his body crazily surged into the black longsword, unleashing a dazzling purple light.

The surrounding nature’s spiritual energy madly converged towards the longsword.

Then, a two-hundred-zhang long streak of purple Sword Energy appeared.

"This is a mid-tier King Spirit Technique!"

Someone exclaimed in shock.

Although Qin Lantian’s Spiritual Power was inferior to Ling Chen’s, if he had an advantage in his Spirit Art, he might not be unworthy of a battle!

"A mid-tier King Spirit Technique?"

Gazing at the immense Sword Energy slashing furiously across the heavens and earth, Ling Chen smirked slightly as a black longsword appeared in his right hand.

Nine streams of Green Lotus Sword Qi burst forth from the Sword Qi River in his Dantian, passing through the black longsword and swiftly splitting into countless fine streaks of Sword Qi.

Afterward, the numerous Sword Qi merged together, and a green lotus slowly blossomed open.

"Green Lotus Blossoms!"

With a gesture from Ling Chen’s sword, the green lotus began to spin frantically, then transformed into a streak of green light, flying toward the heart of the immense Sword Energy.

"Boom!"

The Sword Energy and the green lotus collided in an instant, shaking the very space.

Following the thunderous sound, waves of frenzied energy spread rampantly from the point of contact.

Like energy storms!

After a brief standstill, the green lotus revealed its towering presence, annihilating the Sword Energy completely, and then continued flying towards Qin Lantian.

Seeing the rapidly approaching green lotus, Qin Lantian’s face turned pale as he hastily retreated.

As he retreated explosively, he slashed out several streaks of Sword Energy.

At the same time, Spiritual Power within him surged like crazy, forming layer upon layer of Spiritual Power Defense in front of him.

The green lotus, unstoppable as it was, shattered the intercepting Sword Energy and broke through Qin Lantian’s dozens of layers of Spiritual Power Defense, eventually slamming into the lower-ranked King Spiritual Weapon he held in front of him.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. The longsword collided with his chest, and then, his figure was sent flying hundreds of zhang away.

"Spurt!"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out as Qin Lantian, with a look of shock, fixed his gaze on Ling Chen.

"Too powerful! That was also a mid-tier King Spirit Technique!"

"At the third layer of the Palace Mansion Realm, and he has already successfully cultivated a mid-tier King Spirit Technique. Ling Chen’s comprehension is too high, isn’t it?"

"My god, is Ling Chen defying the heavens?"

...

All the cultivators exclaimed one after another.

Their eyes were full of shock.

Even some disciples at the fifth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm wore solemn expressions.

With that attack, Ling Chen had already reached a level where he could fight them on equal footing!

"Do you have any other tricks? Use them all!"

With a smile on his face, Ling Chen looked towards the distant Qin Lantian.

"Good! Watch carefully!"

Qin Lantian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and a vicious look flashed across his eyes.

"Ice and Fire Mysterious Sky Explosion!"

Qin Lantian roared, no longer hesitating, he displayed his Holy Body Secret Technique right away.

He possessed the same Ice and Fire Saint Body as Ling Wu.

This Ice and Fire Mysterious Sky Explosion was a technique where the two opposing energies of ice and fire were stimulated through a special method.

Its power was even above that of the mid-tier King Spirit Technique!

He knew that Ling Chen also had not yet used the Holy Body Secret Technique.

But even if he couldn’t advance, he had to force out Ling Chen’s Holy Body Secret Technique!

It was not only about his own dignity but also about the honor of their veteran blue-clothed disciples!

A light sphere, intermingling blue and red, shot out following the direction of the blade of Qin Lantian’s longsword, speeding towards Ling Chen.

Everyone looking at this blue and red light sphere revealed a shocked expression in their eyes.

The power of this attack was evidently above that of the previous Sword Energy.

In order for Ling Chen to cope, he likely needed to use a Holy Body Secret Technique, right?

Under the intense scrutiny of the crowd, Ling Chen’s lips curled up, a smirk taking shape.

"Green Lotus Blossoms!"

Ling Chen once again executed the second technique of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

A green lotus emerged once more.

"How is he using a mid-grade King Spirit Technique again?"

"How could that possibly withstand Qin Lantian’s Holy Body Secret Technique?"

"Is this kid too arrogant?"

...

The crowd was abuzz with comments.

Clearly, such an attack was no match for the Ice and Fire Mysterious Sky Explosion!

However, what the crowd failed to notice was the faint blood-red color flowing on the green lotus.

The red was so pale it was almost indiscernible.

Facing his opponent’s Holy Body Secret Technique, Ling Chen certainly didn’t dare to be reckless and used the power of his Green Lotus Bloodline.

Of course, he only slightly tainted the nine Green Lotus Sword Qi streams with a hint of blood.

He did not fully unleash the might of the Green Lotus Bloodline.

In the eyes of the crowd, the green lotus and the blue-red orb finally collided harshly.

"Boom!"

Another sound akin to heavenly thunder exploded in the space, trembling the hearts and minds of all.

Then, a terrifying energy storm began to ravage the surroundings.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was locked onto the clash.

They wanted to see who would come out on top!

Quickly, there was a change at the site of the clash.

The brightness of the green lotus grew stronger, suppressing the blue-red orb down.

"Explode!"

Qin Lantian uttered a low shout.

As his voice fell, the blue-red orb immediately exploded.

An appalling energy charged towards the green lotus.

The green lotus quivered fiercely, revealing the blood-red color that blocked all the incoming energy.

Afterward, it transformed into a beam of light, falling towards Qin Lantian!

"What?!"

Almost everyone was dumbfounded.

Ling Chen’s execution of the mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique actually overpowered Qin Lantian’s Holy Body Secret Technique?

Wasn’t that a bit too terrifying?

"Good tactics!"

Elder Xue’s eyes narrowed.

Although most of the disciples had not sensed the change in Ling Chen’s green lotus, he could perceive it clearly.

The power of Ling Chen’s second green lotus was definitely far superior to the first one.

"This guy is truly worthy of being an exception admission!"

The ten Stewards also couldn’t help but praise.

They too had sensed Ling Chen’s tactics!

At this moment, the green lotus appeared in front of Qin Lantian.

Even though Qin Lantian used all his techniques and struggled with all his might to intercept the green lotus,

such a tactic, how could it be easily intercepted by him?

"Swoosh!"

Qin Lantian’s figure was blasted backwards, flying nearly a thousand zhang and teetering unsteadily!

"Are these all your skills?"

Ling Chen looked towards Qin Lantian.

Easily overpowering the opponent with his Spiritual Power, Qin Lantian was no match for him.

The reason why he gave Qin Lantian two chances was mainly to prove to everyone that he, Ling Chen, did not enter through any backdoor, but possessed true strength!

Feeling the disdain in Ling Chen’s words, Qin Lantian had no ground for argument.

In the Burning Flame Sect, strength reigned supreme!

"Ling Chen wins!"

At this time, the Steward overseeing the battle declared.

Qin Lantian was now gravely injured and no longer had the strength to fight.
