Chapter 827 – Sword Qi

“Yu’er, that’s enough. Start fighting.” While Wu Guangyu was being smug, Wu Lian’s voice came from behind him. Wu Guangyu was still looking at the unknowledgeable Long Chen with contempt.

Indeed, in the eyes of a true Sword Warrior, it really was a waste for a person without an Armament Soul to possess the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

Wu Lian had surely condensed her Sword Root already, thus becoming a true Sword Warrior. Since Wu Guangyu had received the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance, he would soon become one too.

“I only need two strikes to defeat you. I don’t even need to use the techniques in the Azure Lotus Manual,” Wu Guangyu said solemnly after hearing Wu Lian’s reminder.

He spoke very slowly, not taking Long Chen seriously at all. Even though Long Chen had withstood the full brunt of Suxue’s Divine Demon Nine Spins, he was still very confident. Wu Guangyu was no idiot, so this meant that he was indeed very powerful.

From the Divine clan’s side, Xiaolang offered a reminder. “Big Brother, although the technique he’ll use is not from the Azure Lotus Manual, it still is from an intermediate Emperor-tier manual, called the Nine States Sword Manual. Be careful ...”

Although Xiaolang was very worried, he only offered a short reminder as he was afraid of affecting Long Chen’s state of mind. If Long Chen really could not withstand Wu Guangyu’s attack, he would use the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire to save him.

After the conversation, the true start of the duel arrived.

Long Chen now understood that Wu Guangyu was being all nonchalant because he had a powerful backing. Long Chen sensed immense pressure from the Azure Lotus Sword in Wu Guangyu’s hand. He had a faint feeling that there were countless connections between the sword and Wu Guangyu’s palm. It was like the weapon was a live soul, and it served and relied on Wu Guangyu like a child. Tame and loyal.

The relationship between Long Chen and the Three Thousand Star Clusters was far from this level.

However, this was not enough to scare Long Chen.

So what if you have so many things? Can you still defeat me? All of you need to reach the fourth stage of Sword Path Comprehension only to achieve ten times your current power. I was already able to boost my strength by ten times when I achieved the Dragon Realm! Why would I be afraid of you?

The ten-time boost naturally came from Long Chen’s Dragon Soul Transformation!

Wu Guangyu was already making his way towards Long Chen, preparing to attack. Long Chen was covered in red dragon scales, and his essence had turned blood-red and surging through his body. His essence was ten times stronger than normal, providing him with ten times the strength!

Although Wu Guangyu had not reached the Heavenly Martial Realm or condensed his Sword Root, he had already comprehended the first stage of the Sword Path, which was Heart Comprehension. Therefore, he was able to boost his power by three times.

This was similar to the effect of the Golden Emperor Battle Armor.

However, the Golden Emperor Battle Armor was a rare treasure. As a cultivator’s cultivation level increased, it was uncertain if it would still be useful in the future. However, the boost to a Sword Warrior’s strength would be available for the cultivator’s whole life!

It was no wonder Wu Guangyu was so confident.

He probably never saw Jin Ling as a serious opponent either.

To other people, the Three Thousand Star Clusters was Long Chen’s greatest win condition. However, to Wu Guangyu, who had the Azure Lotus Sword, this advantage ceased to exist.

Everyone was on the edge of their metaphorical seats!

“Haargh!”

In contrast to Wu Guangyu’s sophisticated elegance, Long Chen was more like a wild beast that had been slumbering for many years. With a loud roar, it was born again. The shining Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear was activated, and when he waved it, it turned into a terrifying blue light that collided with the Sword Qi!”

Boom!

There was a loud explosion. The Far-Reaching Sword Qi was shattered into pieces after Long Chen hit it with his Three Thousand Star Clusters, boosted by his Seven Star Body and Dragon Soul Essence. However, the force that came with the Far-Reaching Sword Qi slammed into Long Chen’s arm!

“Ugh!”

Long Chen cried out in pain and immediately stumbled backwards. The Three Thousand Star Clusters almost flew out of his hand. Both of Long Chen’s arms went numb and there were already many cuts on his arms, some even bleeding slightly.

Long Chen stabilized himself with great difficulty.

The Azure Lotus Sword, a threefold strength boost offered by the first stage of the Sword Path Comprehension, and an elementary Emperor-tier combat technique. Even a normal Heavenly Martial Realm expert would not dare face this combination directly.

Everyone had only heard about how strong Wu Guangyu was, but after witnessing this attack, they knew that he was indeed extraordinary. No one below the Heavenly Martial Realm was a match for him.

The Demon clan was a bit worried for Long Chen. Although Long Chen’s previous performance was beyond their expectations, it seemed he was far weaker than Wu Guangyu. Wu Guangyu was not someone he could beat.

“Father, what now?” Suxue asked anxiously after she saw Long Chen get pushed back by Wu Guangyu’s first attack. Previously, she had only attacked Long Chen over a misunderstanding. No one present was more concerned about him.

Other than Xiaolang, of course.

“Don’t worry. Long Chen was able to neutralize the attack even without using any combat techniques. That’s very difficult to do,” Bai Lan said.

Although that was what he said, he was not actually confident either.

Many people on the Divine clan’s side were already smiling. They had been sweating anxiously just now, but after the exchange, they saw that Long Chen was nothing special.

The Nine States Sword Manual is the technique of kings. The next move will surely take Long Chen’s life. Even the Long-Bearded Guest would not be able to stop it, thought Feng Zhilin, nodding.

Looking at Wu Guangyu, who was like a hero in his prime, Feng Zhilin’s heart slowly melted. Wu Guangyu has already reached this level in strength ... A man like that ... After the matters in the Ancient Graveyard are over, I’ll marry him. I must not hesitate any longer. And I’ll need to treat him better in the future.

Long Chen had a rough understanding of what everyone was thinking.

This brat really is quite strong. Looks like I need to go all-out, he thought while squinting at Wu Guangyu, who was already launching his next attack.
