The inheritance of sword doctrine Yang Jing had was the Divine Retribution. The Divine Retribution Sword Doctrine sounded cold and emotionless. However, how should we interpret the name Divine Retribution? Does it mean one should stay cruel deliberately? Apparently not.
Thanks to Wu Ming’s instructions, something suddenly dawned on Jiang Chen. He suddenly felt enlightened.
But Yang Jing did not think so much. He would not give his rival any chance. He dashed over. The sword in his hand was a half Doctrine Artifact! His swordsmanship was unpredictable and powerful.
His style of fighting was completely different from Ji Hai’s. Only swordsmen would have such a style. Yang Jing even looked less annoying when he was so concentrated and serious.
“What a cruel sword attack.” Jiang Chen’s feelings were complicated. This sword attack had blocked all of his chances to survive. He had to confront it with both of his swords, in spite of the danger. That was the only option he had.
Many people were shocked. They thought Jiang Chen was too impulsive. This was not a close combat like which he had been involved with Ji Hai. In a fight between swordsmen, one sword attack was enough to decide life or death.
“He has to do it.” Some strongmen understood that Jiang Chen had made a smart move. Once he dodged, he would be completely passive.
Yang Jing, with one sword, was not at a disadvantage at all facing Jiang Chen, with two swords. Instead, he seemed overwhelming.
“You don’t take me seriously. You think you are great because you gave me a beating with external force?” Yang Jing smiled sarcastically. As a result, he lost the fierceness of swordsmen to some extent, but the momentum of his sword became more insidious.
Soon, Jiang Chen had many sword wounds on his body. Fortunately, these wounds, deep or shallow, recovered very quickly.
“Huh, let me see for how long you, a four-star, can persist.”
Yang Jing, as a swordsman, could not achieve that. He could not do close combat like Ji Hai either. For things that he could not achieve, he certainly did not believe Jiang Chen could. He thought Jiang Chen was just wasting time, because the latter had the illusion to become the strongest person in both attack and defense.
“You wasted your time on that. That’s why your sword method is so weak.”
“Divine Retribution!” Yang Jing went on attacking. He exerted his special movement. This sword movement instantly showed the cruelty of the Divine Retribution Sword Doctrine. Countless blades flew toward Jiang Chen like shining lights, leaving no time for him to react.
Jiang Chen was stuck. Those blades could pierce through his heart soon. When people felt worried for him, he gave off abundant golden lights. Brandishing both of his swords, he managed to save himself from this attack of Yang Jing’s. Even if the power of this sword attack of Yang Jing’s had achieved 70 or 80 percent, he still would not be able to crack Jiang Chen’s golden body.
His defense is incredible. People could not help but think. The gap of swordsmanship did not matter at all. His golden body was even more powerful than Ji Hai’s Wizard Lord body.
Speaking of Ji Hai, he had finished regulating his breath. He turned on 100 percent of the boundary of Wizard blood instantly. The broken Wizard Lord body showed up again, but this time its size was only normal. It looked like a semi-transparent armor that Ji Hai was wearing.
“Go to hell!” He shouted, intending to avenge himself. He jumped on Jiang Chen madly.
“Five Thunders Authentic Method!” Jiang Chen, with the Invincible Golden Body, was not scared of him at all. The force of Holy Thunder was stored in the five internal organs. The Alien Flame was burning in the entire Constellation Sea. The two bumped against each other in the air. It was a heavy bump, which could be compared to an exchange of blows between iron weapons.
The energy given off scared Yang Jing. He hurried to raise his sword to protect himself from it.
“D*mn it! Why don’t you lose?!” He had thought Jiang Chen would be defeated by this attack, but to his surprise, Jiang Chen took it well.
“I have a divine body. Who the h*ll are you?!” Jiang Chen cursed, releasing the Alien Flame in his body. Ji Hai was pushed back. At the same time, Yang Jing seized the chance to attack. He dashed over holding his sword.
“Shame on you!” Ye Xue had been very calm, but she could not keep her cool anymore when seeing this. Jiang Chen had just been exhausted. This attack of Yang Jing’s could take away his life.
However, it was Jiang Chen who had asked to challenge these two. It was no one’s fault. When the blade was about to pierce into Jiang Chen’s crucial parts, he disappeared from where he had been like a jumping electric arc.
“This is…”
Yang Jian’s sword got nothing. It happened while he was approaching Jiang Chen. He did not even capture any trace of the latter. That was really incredible. The tip of his sword had been so close to Jiang Chen’s body, but it seemed to be as far as the horizon.
“This is…this is the physical movement of Holy Thunder!”
Down below, Ai Liang saw through Jiang Chen’s movement. He turned pale. It turned out Jiang Chen was not only an inheritor of thunder methods, but his thunder method was even better than those of the Thunder God Sect!
“Kill him! You must kill him!” He had told Jiang Chen to stay alive, but, currently, closing his fists tightly, he was expecting Yang Jing and Ji Hai to kill the latter. Those two’s killing intents were not any weaker than his. They had been collaborating perfectly at the moment. They did not insist on fighting alone for reasons of dignity. Instead, they chose to sandwich Jiang Chen.
One was potent, and the other was swift. Under their joint attack, Jiang Chen was still able to fight with ease untiringly. It seemed that his thunders could last forever. However, he could not keep doing this forever. People were worried about Jiang Chen, since he had been consuming such a great amount of energy for almost an hour.
“Is he breaking through?”
Ye Xue noticed Jiang Chen’s facial expression. She knew he had comprehended something new. He was staring at Yang Jing’s sword.
“I see. This is how to differentiate a sword doctrine. This is what the lore of a sword doctrine is about. A name is just a name. It’s not what differentiates a sword doctrine!” Jiang Chen realized this during the real fight. Lu Ping finished practicing the last movement in the Sword Pavilion. Then he ran up to the Sword Painting. By then everyone else had left the Sword Pavilion to watch the fight, so there was no one around him. Those who had been expecting to see Lu Ping’s failure also went out due to their irresistible curiosity.
It was good for Jiang Chen. He could take advantage of the situation at the moment. Practicing bodies needed to merge with each other to benefit from the improvement of one another, so that their improvements could add up. However, it only referred to the force of state, which was essential. The comprehension of sword realm was the same, because the three Jiang Chens shared the same soul, the same mind, and the same brain.
Jiang Chen helped Lu Ping realize a breakthrough through his real fight. If Lu Ping could master the sword doctrine force of transcendency level, Jiang Chen would also realize a breakthrough in the fight.
He put his hands onto the Sword Painting, full of expectations. He said to himself, just a little bit, just a little bit will be enough!
Sword spirit was the last phase of the basic sword realm. Further on it would be the area of sword doctrine. But, in fact, from the beginner level to the transcendency level of sword doctrine, they were all just an extension of the phase of sword spirit. Sword spirits would endow different sword doctrines with their respective meanings.
“Yang Jing’s Divine Retribution Sword Doctrine contains the sword spirit of kill and the sword spirit of destroy. That’s how Divine Retribution is interpreted.”
“What’s the sword spirit of the Immortal Doctrine of Sword?” Putting his hands on the Sword Painting, Jiang Chen was so immersed that he totally forgot about himself.
Outside in the air, Jiang Chen was facing Yang Jing and Ji Hai effortlessly with A Short Distance Away and Yet Poles Apart. He could even exchange blows with them instead of just dodging.
Yang Jing and Ji Hai were both very angry, but they could do nothing to him.
“His Constellation Sea will be exhausted soon.” Yang Jing and Ji Hai comforted themselves.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen stopped exerting his physical movements. Standing in the air, he pointed his swords at Yang Jing and Ji Hai respectively.
“Come on, my sword touchstones!”
