"So strong!"
All around, the onlookers couldn't help but be shocked, feeling the extraordinary nature of Sword Wushuang's strike.
"Even with just the most basic Sword Drawing Technique, the power has reached such a remarkable level, truly worthy of Ghost Sword!"
As the crowd discussed, Sword Wushuang's sword light moved extremely fast, dragging the momentum of the entire world, and in the blink of an eye, it was above Ji Chen's head.
"Buzz!"
Ji Chen snorted coldly, not moving a step, instead using his finger as a substitute for a sword, pointing forward with a flick.
The finger's light shot out, transforming into a terrifying sword light during its movement, enveloped with the aura of Sword Law, and in an instant, collided fiercely with Sword Wushuang's Sword Drawing Technique.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
A series of crisp breaking sounds reached the ears, white light emerged, engulfing all directions, with numerous small sword lights collapsing into the void, and eventually dissipated without a trace.
"You are overly confident. The most basic Sword Drawing Technique has no effect on me," Ji Chen said lightly.
"Sword Law, huh..."
Sword Wushuang narrowed his eyes, seemingly having anticipated this result, with no surprise on his face.
After all, in his view, the power of his strike was just that, and if Ji Chen couldn't withstand it, only then would he really be surprised.
However, what he hadn't expected was that Ji Chen, facing his attack, didn't use Great Dao Sword Intent, but wielded Sword Law instead.
This outcome was clearly different from what he had anticipated.
After all, today he made his move to see how mysterious the so-called Great Dao Sword Intent could be.
"Buzz!"
Without speaking, after pondering for two breaths, Sword Wushuang made his move again.
This time, he displayed a sword technique at Earth Tier Level, with much greater power than the previous strike.
He merely wished to force Ji Chen to wield Great Dao Sword Intent, and wouldn't let his attack reach a level that Ji Chen couldn't handle, intending to use Ji Chen as a sparring partner to feel the aura of Great Dao Sword Intent.
"Crack!"
However, he still underestimated Ji Chen's strength.
Facing this striking sword, Ji Chen still didn't use Great Dao Sword Intent, instead bringing his five fingers together into a palm, pressing forward.
This was an Inquiry Immortal Seal, an Earth Tier Middle Level Martial Technique, now wielded by Ji Chen, with uncommon power because he quietly infused it with a trace of the power from the Heavenly Scripture, enhancing it.
Sword Wushuang's attack was again neutralized, posing no threat to Ji Chen.
The opponent was indeed a strong Void Realm Seventh Layer cultivator, with cultivation far surpassing Ji Chen's.
Facing Sword Wushuang's attack, Ji Chen naturally wouldn't underestimate him, needing to use some trump cards each time to withstand them.
Yet, he had many trump cards, with the Heavenly Scripture and Sword Law being just two of them, and today, Ji Chen was quite eager to see to what extent Sword Wushuang could pressure him.
"Hmm?"
The second sword was easily parried by Ji Chen, causing Sword Wushuang's brows to slightly furrow.
Because he also saw that Ji Chen's palm harnessed an Earth Tier Middle Level Martial Technique, similar to the sword skill level he had just used.
But the opponent hadn't infused it with Power of Law, and in Sword Wushuang's view, with Ji Chen's Celestial Essence Realm Ninth Layer cultivation, simply using Earth Tier Martial Techniques, there was no way he could contend with Sword Wushuang's second strike.
What exactly happened?
He was puzzled.
Because earlier, Ji Chen quietly executed the Heavenly Scripture, just in an instant, apart from him, no one else noticed the aura of the Emperor Scripture.
And precisely because of this, Sword Wushuang was confused.
"It seems you have quite a few secrets hidden," he snorted coldly, fixing his gaze compellingly on Ji Chen.
"No need to test with these low-level sword techniques, whatever means you have, just use them outright," Ji Chen spoke nonchalantly.
"Senior Brother Wushuang, this person is indeed arrogant. Whatever happens today, we cannot let him walk away unscathed," Li Nan and Fang Yuan chimed in.
Seeing Sword Wushuang's successive strikes being effortlessly neutralized by Ji Chen, left them gritting their teeth.
After all, the quicker Ji Chen is defeated, the better their grievances can be quelled.
"Buzz..."
And just as their words fell, Sword Wushuang's body emitted an even more fearsome and sharp aura.
It was as if his entire temperament changed at this moment, his face cold to the extreme.
"This strike of mine, in the same realm, cannot be managed by ordinary beings. If you don't use Great Dao Sword Intent, you'll likely be dead or seriously injured."
His voice, icily cool, came out, and then, his long sword suddenly slashed down.
A dark light glimmered, carrying a chillingly sharp aura, it seemed to cut through the void, moving extremely fast, ghostly and wicked, in moments it was above Ji Chen's head.
"Hmm?"
The power of this strike truly was not to be underestimated, causing Ji Chen to furrow his brows involuntarily.
"Extinguish!"
Immediately, he called out lightly, no longer holding back, directly employing the Floating Cloud Sword Technique.
"Buzz!"
The space trembled, with Ji Chen using his finger as a sword, pointing it forward, a holy sword light rising into the sky, clashing instantly with Sword Wushuang's attack.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
The sounds of explosions erupting, accompanied by a series of crisp breaking noises, entered the ears of those surrounding.
That tremendous sword momentum pressured the entire scene, leading many there to momentarily hold their breath.
When the light receded, looking around, both sides of the exchange stood still in place, this time the confrontation was balanced, neither gaining the upper hand.
"That is..."
"Celestial Rank High Level Martial Technique, the Floating Cloud Sword Technique?!"
Soon, someone exclaimed, their face showing a different color.
"Indeed it is the Floating Cloud Sword Technique, I've seen Sword Peak's 'Lin Ruoxue' Senior Sister perform it, identical to what Ji Chen is employing now."
"How is this possible... This sword technique was created by a former Master of Sword Peak, extremely exquisite, and over the years many disciples have tried to comprehend it but ultimately were in vain. Apart from a few people like Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue, no one else in Celestial Emperor's Mansion has managed to successfully cultivate it."
"This Ji Chen... only joined Celestial Emperor's Mansion a few days ago? And it was only yesterday he went to the Cultivation Technique Hall to choose a martial technique, means he actually trained and mastered the Floating Cloud Sword Technique in just one night?"
"Inconceivable..."
All around, everyone was discussing, unable to refrain from being surprised.
Including Sword Wushuang himself, even now, his brows are tightly knitted together.
Evidently, Ji Chen's strike also far exceeded his expectations.
After all, he had twice borrowed the Floating Cloud Sword Technique but ultimately couldn't cultivate it successfully, yet Ji Chen managed in just one night to accomplish what he hadn't!
