Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Complete Victory, Subdued

"I could never be defeated by a scoundrel like you."

Li Ziyue glared at Lin Chen, practically gnashing her teeth as she spoke.

Then, she bit her lip, producing a drop of fresh blood. With her tongue, she gently licked the blood into her mouth and swallowed it.

Buzz buzz—

Suddenly, after ingesting the blood, a powerful aura erupted from her.

Facing the Seven Flames Sword Qi before her, she clenched her sharp sword and fiercely swung it several times around her, colliding with Lin Chen’s Sword Array.

Immediately after, her figure turned into a streak of light and forcefully burst out from the Seven Killings Sword Array.

Puchi—

Although she broke through the Sword Array, Li Ziyue paid a hefty price, and a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spurted out.

What she had used just now was a Secret Technique that allowed her to burst forth with strength several times her own in an instant.

However, it was evident that this Secret Technique could only be maintained for a few breaths, and there seemed to be a backlash.

Seeing Li Ziyue so desperate, Lin Chen couldn’t help but shake his head.

With a wave of his hand, the Seven Kills Flame Sword Formation instantly dissipated.

Lin Chen had no intention of using the Seven Killings Sword Array against Li Ziyue anymore, especially since even when he had cast it, he had not unleashed its true power.

When Lin Chen deployed the Seven Kills Sword Array, he didn’t employ any magic treasures; he merely used the sharp sword in his hand to slash out Seven Flames Sword Qi, with only Fire Attribute Power infused within.

If Lin Chen incorporated all Eight Types of True Intent Power into it, Li Ziyue would have no chance of escaping from the Sword Array, even if she used a Secret Technique.

In fact, Lin Chen could take Li Ziyue’s life with the Sword Array in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen had no intention of killing Li Ziyue. After all, both the Dark Fragrance Hermitage and Li Ziyue had no deep grudge against Lin Chen, and the Dark Fragrance Hermitage had always had a good relationship with the Formation Sect.

Lin Chen was puzzled why Li Ziyue called him a "scoundrel."

He had never met her before, nor had he ever done anything to her.

Could it be some rumor she had heard?

Lin Chen’s expression darkened slightly, his mind filled with doubts. Was his reputation on the Mysterious Heaven Continent really that bad?

"Lin Chen, as I said, it’s impossible for you to trap me to death with this Sword Array."

"Do you dare to fight me fairly?"

Li Ziyue’s gaze fell upon Lin Chen. As a woman, she was brimming with a warrior’s spirit.

Little did Lin Chen know that as the sacred girl of Dark Fragrance Hermitage, the top among the younger generation, Li Ziyue has always been high-spirited and proud.

Since Lin Chen had made a name for himself in the Eastern Domain, many sects had started to compare their Heavenly Prides to Lin Chen.

Despite never having actually crossed blades, the rumors suggested that those Heavenly Prides were not even close to Lin Chen’s level, after all, Lin Chen had slain the ancestor of Red Soul Hall while only in the Heavenly Human Realm.

Except for the Bodhi Hall, the other major powers had established friendly relationships with the Formation Sect. Even some of the weaker sects selected sacred girls or goddesses within their ranks to send to the Formation Sect, hoping to establish alliances through marriage.

Of course, these were only preliminary plans, and the various powers had not yet actually implemented them since they did not yet know the true extent of Lin Chen’s capabilities.

However, not long ago, after Lin Chen emerged from the Divine Flame Secret Realm, he had proven his formidable strength.

Not to mention anything else, just the Demon Wolf on his shoulder alone was enough to incite fear and shock among all powers.

After all, the Demon Wolf’s strength was comparable to that of ancestors from various Super Powers.

Therefore, there was the possibility that Dark Fragrance Hermitage might arrange for Li Ziyue or her sister, Li Tianyue, to be wed to Lin Chen, establishing a relationship.

Naturally, this was something Li Ziyue would never agree to, hence her resentment towards Lin Chen.

"Fine, I’ll indulge you, and let you understand that there are mountains beyond mountains, and heavens beyond heavens."

"Next, don’t blame this young master for ruthlessly crushing you."

Lin Chen said indifferently.

Immediately, his sharp sword in hand vibrated, igniting his fighting spirit.

Whoosh whoosh—

Lin Chen moved as quickly as lightning, pressing quickly towards Li Ziyue.

Seeing this, Li Ziyue’s expression turned solemn, as she felt an immensely powerful Sword Intent emanating from Lin Chen’s sword.

Without reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship, it would not be possible to possess such a potent Sword Intent.

Unwilling to show weakness, Li Ziyue gripped her sharp sword and began to perform Sword technique.

Clang clang clang—

Their battle commenced; strokes met with strokes, and the fierce ripples of Sword Qi surged across the Duel Platform like ripples on water.

On the Duel Platform, the Sword Qi scattered, covering a range of several miles with the two of them as the center.

The spectators in the surrounding stands were shocked as they watched this intense battle. If not for the Duel Platform at the center of the stands being sufficiently large, they would not dare to continue watching.

After all, once touched by that powerful Sword Qi, their lives could very well be endangered.

Boom—

Rumble—

Even though the Duel Platform was made of hard stone and had a Defensive Array, the ground was still scarred by the traces of Sword Qi, and a large pit had been smashed into the platform.

After the dust had settled, Li Ziyue slowly climbed out of the pit, limping silently towards the steps of the Duel Platform.

Her figure seemed somewhat lonely, yet she also appeared to be very accepting of her defeat.

Li Ziyue had practiced the sword for twenty years, known as the Heavenly Pride of the sword path in the Eastern Domain, but now she had been defeated by Lin Chen, and furthermore, it was Lin Chen’s Swordsmanship that had bested her.

After this battle, Li Ziyue truly admited defeat and acknowledged Lin Chen’s strength.

"Well done, Young Master Lin Chen, it should be done like this."

"Yeah, this woman deserved a lesson, and now she is finally subdued."

"Tsks, Young Master Lin Chen really isn’t one for sparing the fairer sex, although Li Ziyue was indeed too arrogant towards us earlier, perhaps the blow was a bit too harsh."

"Know nothing! How can a man make a lasting impression if he isn’t a bit ruthless? Do you believe that after this, Li Ziyue may possibly fall for Lin Chen?"

"That’s possible? But she is the Goddess in the hearts of countless Sword Cultivators!"

Around the stands, many Martial Artists excitedly chattered away as if they were the ones who had defeated Li Ziyue.

On the stands, Yan Ruyu was tightly clutching the hem of her dress, feeling somewhat emotional.

Now she thought of how Lin Chen had defeated her with a single punch, and it seemed rather merciful in comparison.

Had she really lost to Lin Chen, she would indeed feel embarrassed, as girls always care about their reputation.

At this moment, Lin Chen returned to his spot, and just as he sat down, he felt a movement from the Communication Jade Slip on his person.
