Chapter 828: Nineteen States of Sword Light
Long Chen had neutralized the Far-Reaching Sword Light. Wu Guangyu’s next sword technique was surely going to be stronger.
Boom!
The air exploded, and Wu Guangyu shot at Long Chen!
“Careful!” reminded the Demon clan.
Long Chen did not let his guard down. Wu Guangyu seemed to have taken the offensive position in this battle, but that did not mean that Long Chen would lose. That was the opposite. Taking an offensive position gave one a high possibility of giving away their true capabilities. Long Chen did not have many attacks that could hurt Wu Guangyu, so he could only wait until a flaw appeared in the latter’s movement and then use his opponent’s oversight to win.
That was why he had to be the calmest person present!
Wu Guangyu may have looked calm and arrogant, and he had taken the lead at the very beginning. However, he was not as calm as everyone else. His emotions were surging, just like the power in his body!
Based on my comprehension of the Sword Path combined with the Azure Lotus Sword, I should have been able to finish Long Chen using the first move of the Nine States Sword Manual. Yet he blocked it. I need to kill him with the next move. This brat was able to catch up to me in just four months; he must not be left alive!
Wu Guangyu was slightly more anxious than Long Chen in his heart.
Under his control, sword Qi surged!Sword Qi shone brightly and surged up towards the sky!
Wu Guangyu charged ahead at top speed, gathering strength for an even stronger attack. He moved so fast that he was like the shadow of a sword. There was a long whoosh as the Azure Lotus Sword moved, turning into multiple illusions of the sword. In the end, power exploded from them!
A clear voice echoed in the air!
“Nine States Sword Manual—Far-Reaching Sword Qi, Nineteen States of Sword Light!”
A ray of sword light brighter than before erupted from the sword!
Far-Reaching Sword Qi, Nineteen States of Sword Light!
It was cool! It was magnificent! It was grand!
The previous move was called Far-Reaching Sword Qi, and this one was called Nineteen States of Sword Light!
Long Chen only saw a flash, and the shining sword light was already in front of his eyes. Unlike the previous move, the sword Qi was extremely bright. It brought with it an even more terrifying destructive force!
Long Chen was very calm.
Wu Guangyu only recently obtained the Azure Lotus Sword. As for me, I have not even discovered the combat techniques hidden in the Three Thousand Star Clusters yet. Even if he has discovered the techniques in his sword, it’s impossible for him to have mastered them already …
After that thought, Long Chen made his decision on how to face Wu Guangyu’s Nineteen States of Sword Light. Everyone was anxious and thought he would yield, so they were surprised when Long Chen reached out with his palm!
“Is he going to use that seal attack? The one with double seals?”
Many people had seen him use two Emperor Seals at once in an attack. Although that was impressive, it was not enough when Wu Guangyu had three times his original power, the Azure Lotus Sword, and the Nineteen States of Sword Light!
“Long Chen will die today …” remarked the people from the Divine Wind Faction and the Five Elements Alliance.
Long Chen had not admitted defeat yet, and Wu Guangyu had already finished launching the Nineteen States of Sword Light attack. If Long Chen yielded now, it would be difficult for the Long-Bearded Guest to save him without paying a price for it.
“The young man of the Divine clan is very strong now. If he reaches the Third Heavenly Martial Stage, he will rule over the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory and become the strongest among the billions of humans. Not only is Wu Lian powerful herself, the son she taught is also extraordinary …”
Although the Five Elements Alliance wasn’t happy to see this, they had no choice but to admit that Wu Guangyu was strong. If Wu Guangyu one day reached the Third Heavenly Martial Stage, he could even unite the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory.
It was a great achievement at such a young age. More importantly, he had also comprehended the Sword Path and received the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance. Wu Guangyu was clearly going to be a legendary figure. A prodigy like that was hard to come by!
Nineteen States of Sword Light!
The bright, shining light made everyone feel dizzy!
But Long Chen remained calm. Although the sword light was already shining on his face, his expression did not change!
Whoosh!
On his right palm, one by one, the Emperor Seals lit up. It started from the Golden Emperor Seal, then the Azure Emperor Seal, and finally the Red Emperor Seal. When all three Emperor Seals lit up, the three seal attacks—one golden, one azure, and one red—competed to outshine the others as they gathered on his arm.
The golden glint of metal, the life force of trees, and the fiery blaze of a flame appeared on his palm. The three-seal combination was many times stronger than the two-seal combination!
This was the first time Long Chen had used the triple-seal combination after cultivating the Azure Emperor Rising Heaven Seal.
“Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal!
“Azure Emperor Rising Heaven Seal!
“Red Emperor Burning Heaven Seal!”
Facing Wu Guangyu’s Nineteen States of Sword Light, the three Emperor Seals exploded when Long Chen pushed his palm forward. The three gigantic seals spun and shot out of his palm. Very quickly, they collided with the shining sword light!
A look of despair arose in Feng Zhilin’s face.
She remembered how her Thousand Seals were defeated by Long Chen’s double Emperor Seal combination in the Seven Star Tomb. At the time, she had not expected such a simple attack to defeat her technique. The same thing was happening to Wu Guangyu. No one thought that the triple Emperor Seal could defeat his Nineteen States of Sword Light, but she had a bad feeling!
Wu Guangyu’s attack shot forward at full power. It was not something that three consecutive elementary Emperor-tier attacks could stop. However, they did not know that Long Chen was not releasing three identical attacks consecutively, but combining three different Emperor Seals!
When faced with the destructive force of the Nineteen States of Sword Light, the Emperor Seals suddenly exploded like a bomb. For a brief moment, the energy from the explosion swallowed the shining sword Qi and turned into streaks of energy currents that flew at Wu Guangyu!
Boom!
The sword Qi trembled but did not disperse. However, the three Emperor Seals’ explosion had spread far and wide, causing the surrounding space to tremble. The crowd was startled by this. He was only at the Earthly Martial Realm, yet his attack was this powerful. Both of them were extraordinary!
The powerful sword Qi then shattered in the face of Long Chen’s attack, and the crowd’s expressions turned into shock. Wu Guangyu’s expression changed too. He initially thought that it was enough to kill Long Chen. Who could have guessed that Long Chen would turn the tables and display this much power?
“Nine States Sword Manual, Far-Reaching Sword Qi!”
Wu Guangyu was starting to panic now. When his second attack shattered, he swung the Azure Lotus Sword once more. Another blade of sword Qi flew out and slammed into Long Chen’s three Emperor Seals. In such a critical moment, Wu Guangyu had to protect himself!
The three Emperor Seals broke Wu Guangyu’s sword Qi once again, but most of their momentum had been dispersed. Therefore, only a small portion of its force hit Wu Guangyu, throwing him back into the air. Blood sprayed from his mouth. The sophisticated gentleman’s clothing was now tattered, and he was covered in small wounds, his hair was messy, and his internal organs were even injured!
The crowd erupted when they saw Wu Guangyu struggle to his feet. The Five Elements Alliance was absolutely stunned. They all thought Long Chen would lose, but he had managed to turn the tides and hurt his opponent instead. Wu Guangyu’s injury was much more severe than Long Chen’s injury.
“Bastard!” The Divine and Wind clans had icy expressions. When they saw Wu Guangyu injured, they wanted to rush forward to help him, but Wu Lian stopped them. She huffed coldly and said, “Why are you all panicking? It’s only a small injury. It’s not fatal, and he has not failed. Yet you all want to go intervene. Do you want to embarrass the Divine clan?”
She was right. Wu Guangyu had not lost yet.
He stood up. Although he was looking disheveled, there was blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he was even swaying a little, the Azure Lotus Sword was still in his grip.
It was well-known that Wu Lian loved her son very much. Her son was basically her life. Yet she had stopped them from helping Wu Guangyu and she herself did not help him at all. Although she looked calm, there was thick killing intent in her eyes.
Long Chen sensed a glare that resembled a venomous snake.
“You haven’t lost yet?” Long Chen had to admit that Wu Guangyu was indeed a difficult opponent. He had already used his strongest move, but it hadn’t dealt enough damage. The combination of three Emperor Seals was supposed to kill Wu Guangyu, but he had underestimated his enemy.
Xiaolang noticed the problem too, so he asked hurriedly when he saw that Wu Guangyu had not been defeated yet, “Big Brother, do you want me to help?”
“No. Stay there for now. I’ll need to evaluate the situation before taking you away.” Long Chen was not willing to start conflict with the Divine clan at a moment like this. He had heard Bai Lan talk about how strong Wu Lian was, so he knew that he could not kill Wu Guangyu in broad daylight. He had to kill Wu Guangyu without anyone seeing him. That was how he would take his revenge.
“I must admit that you have shocked me …” Wu Guangyu quickly stood on his feet again. Although he was covered in blood, his expression had not changed. He moved his arms, and after he could move normally again, he stared at Long Chen and said arrogantly, “You, Long Chen, are the first person to force me to do this …”
