Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 342: Why Use a Sword to Defeat You?

Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Why Use a Sword to Defeat You?

"Good!"

With a thumb of his right hand, Li Xuanbing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with a cold murderous intent.

He hadn’t expected that a moment of carelessness would have almost caused him serious injury.

"You are not worthy of defeating me!"

Li Xuanbing said coldly.

A flash of light from his right hand, and a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon Longsword replaced the previous low-grade one!

"Come again!"

Li Xuanbing roared, as the Ice Blue Spiritual Power was injected into the longsword again, releasing an even more dazzling ice-blue glow.

"Ice Condensing Sword!"

With a shout, a terrifying Ice Blue Sword Qi burst forth from the sword, slashing towards Ling Chen.

He had been using a low-grade Spiritual Weapon just before.

But this time, he wielded a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon.

The power instantly elevated by a level!

He did not believe, Ling Chen, who had used a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, could withstand this attack?

"Be careful!"

Su Yao couldn’t help but shout a warning.

Ling Chen’s previous attack had caused Li Xuanbing significant injury.

But if such an attack landed on Ling Chen, it would certainly not be so simple.

After all, Ling Chen’s cultivation was too low.

Such defense, in a high-level Primordial Pill Realm cultivator’s battle, was somewhat weak.

However, Ling Chen seemed to ignore it all, a faint smile blossoming at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, even Qin Shi and Ling Wu showed no signs of worry on their faces.

Because they knew, Ling Chen still had unplayed cards up his sleeve!

"Extinguish the Stars!"

A pitch-black Sword Qi slashed out again from Ling Chen’s longsword.

Su Yao’s expression froze, then an incredulous look rippled like water waves in his suddenly widened eyes.

"Spiritual Technique True Intent..."

Su Yao exclaimed.

His voice filled with shock.

Being a late-stage fifth-layer Primordial Pill Realm and a superstar talent who entered the Star Rankings, he could naturally sense the power of this black Sword Qi.

The power of this attack definitely surpassed the scope of high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique.

Only those who had grasped the Spiritual Technique True Intent could achieve this!

"Boom!"

The two Sword Qis collided abruptly in mid-air.

An earth-shattering noise exploded between heaven and earth!

It was as if thunder exploded beside the ear!

Waves of air surged outwards!

"What, how is this possible?"

Li Xuanbing’s face filled with disbelief.

In his view, his Ice Blue Sword Qi was gradually being devoured by the pitch-black Sword Qi, then dissipating.

And yet, the black Sword Qi still carried a terrifying force as it blasted towards him.

"No!"

Li Xuanbing roared.

He then shot out five streams of Spiritual Power, forming a Spiritual Power Defense.

However, the pitch-black Sword Qi destroyed these defenses as if they were nothing, and then slashed towards Li Xuanbing’s chest.

"Ding!"

The pitch-black Sword Qi struck the brilliantly glowing mid-grade Spiritual Weapon.

A tremendous force burst forth, the Spiritual Weapon fiercely smashing towards Li Xuanbing’s chest!

"Bang!"

A dull sound was heard, the longsword flew out of Li Xuanbing’s hand, and his body was sent flying backwards.

"Puh!"

As he flew backward, Li Xuanbing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which sprayed out in a graceful arc of blood.

Dozens of feet away, Li Xuanbing stood suspended in midair, his eyes fixed on Ling Chen, filled with horror.

He never imagined that he would lose.

And to lose so miserably!

This young man from the Primordial Pill Realm, had not only mastered a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique but also grasped its Spiritual Technique True Intent!

"I lost."

Li Xuanbing spoke bitterly.

His face no longer carried that commanding air.

He flicked his fingers, sending a storage ring flying towards Ling Chen.

"It’s yours now!"

"Then, Li Xuanbing flew to the peak of the northern town without looking back.

There was no face left for him to stay here any longer.

Watching Li Xuanbing’s disappearing figure, Ling Chen gave a slight smile.

Then, he put away the storage ring.

His gaze shifted toward Su Yao and the others.

A full ten breaths passed before Su Yao and the other senior students gradually recovered from their shock.

"Does anyone else want to snatch our storage ring?"

Ling Chen grinned.

As he spoke, several top-quality Returning Essence Pills entered his mouth.

Ling Chen quickly refined the Returning Essence Pills to restore his Spiritual Power.

Although the power of the top-quality Heavenly Spirit Technique was immense, the consumption of Spiritual Power was astronomical.

If he hadn’t advanced to the second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, he probably wouldn’t have been able to use this top-grade offensive Heavenly Spirit Technique a few times.

Now, his body’s Spiritual Power was depleted by more than half.

"I’ll go!"

Another young man flew out.

His name was Luo Qingfeng, with a cultivation at the mid-phase of the fifth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, his strength only second to Su Yao.

Their aim was to dampen the spirit of the new students.

Could they afford to flee back to the Academic Palace in such a pathetic state just because of Li Xuanbing’s defeat?

If so, they would become the laughingstock of the Academic Palace!

Moreover, he could see that although Ling Chen’s attacks were astounding, the Spiritual Power was too little to sustain more than a few uses.

Defeating Ling Chen would be simple.

All he needed to do was to slightly avoid Ling Chen’s top-quality Heavenly Spirit Technique attacks.

Once Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power was exhausted, wouldn’t this junior be at his mercy?

How could Ling Chen possibly think of breaking the traditions of the Academic Palace? Luo Qingfeng wouldn’t allow him to get his way.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded lightly.

He had already sensed this person’s cultivation level.

Only slightly higher than Li Xuanbing.

However, that slight advantage was enough for him to receive his attacks.

"How should I address Senior?"

Ling Chen asked with a smile.

As he spoke, he already had a plan in mind.

He could certainly release his True cultivation and then overpower this person.

But he didn’t want to.

Using a technique once was enough.

Using it repeatedly is boring!

"Luo Qingfeng!"

The young man replied with a smile.

"Then, Senior Luo, please?"

Ling Chen extended his right hand in an inviting gesture.

"Ling junior, be careful!"

Luo Qingfeng smiled faintly.

His right hand directly revealed a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon Long Sword.

With the precedent set by Li Xuanbing, he naturally didn’t dare to be careless.

"Senior, fight freely!"

Ling Chen smiled slightly.

Before he finished speaking, the mid-grade Spiritual Weapon in Ling Chen’s hand disappeared.

"Hmm?"

Luo Qingfeng’s eyes focused.

Ling Chen didn’t plan to use even a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon, could it be he had a top-grade Spiritual Weapon?

His gaze locked tightly on Ling Chen’s right hand.

At this moment, Su Yao and the others also suddenly widened their eyes.

Clearly, their thoughts were the same as Luo Qingfeng’s!

"Could Young Master Ling have a top-grade Spiritual Weapon?"

Qin Shi, Su Su, and Xu Lin’s eyes burned with eagerness.

However, everyone waited for a while, yet no weapon appeared in Ling Chen’s hand.

"Ling junior, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Qingfeng asked.

He thought Ling Chen was going to use a top-grade Spiritual Weapon, but he found that Ling Chen seemed to be aiming to fight him empty-handed!

"Senior Luo, sorry, I feel I don’t need a sword to defeat you."

Ling Chen said lightly.

Upon these words, silence enveloped the space!"
