Mu Qitian attacked first because he wanted to take control of the battle, and kill Jiang Chen in the seventh move without a hitch.
Jiang Chenâs face became gloomy, but his gaze was still firm and resolute.
Mu Qitian was on the same level as Young Master Blood Moon. He was at the early stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm. His martial techniques were ordinary, mediocre, and he didnât have a Half Spiritâs body, or a special inherited bloodline.
He needed just to face the Celestial Venerable Realmâs power.
The Lightning Sword of the day before appeared in his hands, but it didnât have any lightning now, and it seemed mediocre and ordinary.
âTrash! Even a sword gotten by you turned into just trash,â Mu Qitian cursed him, while a sword appeared in his hand. It was a seventh grade magical weapon, and its grade wasnât really low.
As he used a sword move, the sword shone in a bright light, which seemed like it would break through the firmament, and it possessed an unstoppable momentum. It was all because he possessed the Celestial Venerable Realm power.
Jiang Chen raised his hands, and lightning arcs appeared on the Lightning Sword again, but it wasnât flickering chaotically this time, and it had a stable rhythm. This matter demonstrated well that he already took complete control over this sword.
When he raised the sword, the lightning arcs turned as thick as an arm, and took a white luster.
It was Heavenly Lightning!
This sword was, in fact, capable of controlling Heavenly Lightning, but its flaw was that it would exhaust its power greatly, and it might even affect its wielder, thus, he wouldnât be capable of displaying its whole might.
However, everything changed after Jiang Chen got hold of it. He turned into the Lightning Swordâs energy source, and provided boundless and inexhaustible energy.
People werenât really surprised by this, as they all thought back about the great phenomenon, which appeared yesterday.
Jiang Chen waved the sword, and thrust it. It was both fast and powerful, and he didnât need to especially exert his power on it, as just the Lightning Swordâs own might alone was capable of destroying everything.
Mu Qitian charged at him with his sword, and when his sword collided against the Lightning Sword, purple lightning wandered into his whole body.
However, Mu Qitian still wore a straight face, and pain didnât appear on him. It was because there was a layer of protective energy barrier above his skin, as well as a battle suit.
Since Jiang Chen was allowed to use the Lightning Sword, he also could fight him while wearing a battle suit.
âThe first move!â
The battleâs outcome and the fightersâ fate wasnât decided in a single move, and many people, who lost their money now, were quite annoyed.
âYou are a Celestial Venerable, yet do you plan to fight against a Spiritual Venerable for a whole day?â Someone in the city shouted angrily.
Mu Qitian felt quite uncomfortable when such words reached his ears. If it was up to him, he would also just use his ultimate technique, and take Jiang Chenâs life.
He had now another plan for the next move. Even if he mustnât take Jiang Chenâs life for now, he still must let him pay for it.
âA Severed Heavenly Sword Contends Against Heaven!â A Celestial Venerableâs superiority was displayed in this sword move.
Even though there wasnât any disparity in their sword techniques, Jiang Chen still couldnât guard against it, and the sword streaked across his whole body.
âSnort, snort.â Mu Qitian was quite pleased with himself. If nothing unexpected occurred, Young Master Feng should have already turned into a bloody man now, but he would still not die, and he could still put on a fight against him.
However, when he had a look at him, Mu Qitianâs expression changed drastically.
Young Master Feng didnât suffer any harms. He was just at the middle stage of Spiritual Venerable Realm, yet he was left safe and sound after his attack, and even though some cuts were left on his clothes by the sword attack, there wasnât any blood seeping out of them.
âDonât you know that I just changed into a new set of clothes today?â Jiang Chen was quite furious.
âDrop dead!â
âSevered Heavenly Sword!â Mu Qitian thrust his sword again. Its momentum was becoming sharper as time passed.
A sword domain with myriad sword phantom images appeared. They were constantly fluctuating, and it was hard to tell whether they were true or fake.
People, who still didnât reach the Celestial Venerable Realm, might even assume now that he had outstanding Sword Doctrine, while in fact, all Celestial Venerables possessed such power, and his power was even ordinary and mediocre.
However, it still couldnât really be considered mediocre for a Spiritual Venerable.
Jiang Chen thrust his sword at a high-speed, which rivaled lightningâs speed, yet he still couldnât block the outer partyâs sword attack.
âEven with such a mediocre ability, he can still draw a divine piece of art?â Fang Wentian spoke disdainfully.
âThatâs not right!â
âHeâs now using lightning power, thus, his Sword Doctrineâs power and lore martial techniques are restricted.â
âWhy doesnât he change it into something else?â
âIf he lost the lightning power, even the previous sword strike will be enough to take his life, and he would surely die.â
âHowever, he will still die even like this.â
âWho knew? That guy is a madman.â
Lightningâs might was great, but Jiang Chen didnât know anything about Lightning Loreâs martial techniques, as he didnât study them.
As a matter of fact, many martial artists wouldnât learn it, as controlling lightning power was already extremely difficult, so how could they even try learning its lore? At the very least, Venerables were incapable of achieving it.
When Mu Qitianâs fourth sword move struck Jiang Chen, his sword was sent flying away, while his chest suffered the swordâs tip brunt.
Many people covered their mouths from fright, however, the swordâs tip didnât penetrate his chest, fortunately, and even blood didnât seep out of it.
âWere you practicing a tortoise shellâs technique yesterday?â Mu Qitian spoke in displeasure.
He was now assessing Jiang Chenâs lightning power inwardly. He still had three moves left, and if he attacked his throat with his last ultimate move, he could then take his life.
âI wonât continue playing with you,â Jiang Chen uttered words, which surprised everyone, before he put away the Lightning Sword.
âHow arrogant!â
Regardless of why did he take such actions, since he gave up on using his weapon to confront his opponent, he left a good opportunity for Mu Qitian.
âIdiot!â
Jiang Chen took the initiative, and attacked him. He didnât fear at all his sword, and lightning was flickering on his body now.
When they got close to each other, Jiang Chenâs thrust his fist at his opponent. His fist collided against the swordâs sharp end. He bent the sword with his attack, and he almost broke it.
His tremendous power sent Mu Qitian flying away, while Jiang Chen still floated in the sky calmly.
âTeleportation technique!â
Afterward, a more shocking scene unfolded before them, Jiang Chen disappeared completely, as he teleported beside Mu Qitian, who was still flying back.
âToday, I will let you experience how powerful is the Nine Clouds Divine Lightning.â
When his words just echoed, his fist struck Mu Qitianâs face, and sent him flying away far away.
Jiang Chenâs fist didnât really reach his face, as it was obstructed by the outer partyâs protective energy barrier.
âThis isnât a protective energy barrier, but a Protective Dipper Energy.â
This was another of Celestial Venerableâs superiority. They could ignore all attack below the Celestial Venerable Realm.
This Protective Dipper Energy possessed astonishing defensive power, and it wasnât just firm, it was also tough.
When Jiang Chen was just feeling helpless, the people in the city were all dumbstruck.
Jiang Chen attacked suddenly, intensely and strongly. He baffled all people.
âExternal power, did he use any external power?â Fang Wentian suddenly thought of something, and he asked the Great Venerable behind him.
âNo, itâs his own power.â
âWhat?â
The Great Venerableâs words shocked them. How was it possible for this to be his own power?
However, it wasnât just a single Great Venerable, which uttered such words, and all Great Venerables in the city were of the same opinion.
âHe wasnât capable of using his lightning power with the sword because that sword wasnât suitable for lightning.â
âMoreover, he cultivated his lightning like how one would cultivate and practice a martial technique.â
âThe teleportation from a moment ago was achieved by him through imbuing all of his bodyâs cells with lightning, thus, his speed would become then unparalleled among all Celestial Venerables.â
The Great Venerables dispelled their doubts, but they were still puzzled about a matter. It was just... How did he achieve it?â
How did a Spiritual Venerable manage to achieve this matter?â
âItâs because heâs using a Holy Skill.â
Such words shocked all the people in Treasure City.
So it turned out that Young Master Feng wasnât a lunatic, he just possessed Holy Pulses which even Spirit Clanâs members didnât possess.
Moreover, it wasnât limited to just this, he even managed to find a priceless Holy Skill, and practice it successfully.
âIs this really true?â
