“It seems from the title’s name that it is almost on a par with the Junior Sword Venerable Wang Teng’s title.”
“Each of those titles is more amazing than the other. I’m really looking forward to what will happen at the end.”
As the crowd discussed this matter, more people appeared in the sky. This battle wasn’t limited to just one of the Human and Spirit Clans and the sword was the weapon most used by people, which was why the number of contestants was just as crowded as the previous fight over the Future Spirit Emperor’s title.
Jiang Chen and Wu Ziming and the others were just a little group among all those people, and many people who had outstanding attainments in Sword Doctrines appeared among the contestants. One of them was the masked man, who was only defeated by the joint attack of the Ice Spirit Clan’s saint and another masked man. His Sword Doctrine’s power wasn’t probably any weaker than Song Hao’s.
“You can’t use any external power today, and I will settle both our new and old feuds here.”
“Today, if you depend upon an external power to run amok in front of the Elixir Emperor’s disciple, I will pay you back for everything you have done.”
“I will surely get the Ancient Sword.”
Huo Zhengyu, Wu Ziming, and Song Hao spoke one after the other, and they all harbored deadly killing intent toward Jiang Chen.
“Sirs, you should fight among yourselves and don’t meddle in our fight,” Wu Ziming suddenly looked at the other people and spoke. Most people didn’t have any objection to this, and it was especially the case for the Spirits. They all obeyed him, which was why Jiang Chen’s region of the battlefield turned into an isolated patch.
“Miss Tian Ling, please step aside,” Huo Zhengyu said.
“We don’t want to harm you,” Wu Ziming said.
Fear didn’t appear on Tian Ling’s pretty face, and she said with a smile, “I’m not here to take revenge like you. I’m a true swordswoman.”
Tian Ling had many dazzling halos around her, and she was a breathtaking beauty. She had fair, alluring skin, which seemed like water would flow out of it if someone pinched it.
People ended up overlooking her personal power because of her beauty and achievements, and they all forgot that she was the owner of the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, which was popular in all Three Middle Realms.
“It seems like you have all forgotten that the Civil and Martial Arts Institute’s first divine piece of art was made by me.”
Tian Ling, who seemed like a delicate and frail woman, wore a sharp look now, and her eyes shone brightly. A magical treasure grade sword appeared in her hand. Sword energy surged out of it and blew at her long hair.
“Take it!” Jiang Chen could set his mind at ease because he knew that Tian Ling wouldn’t suffer any issues. He unsheathed the Heavenly Fault Sword and handed it over to Ji Yinyi. Ji Yinyi came from a small Desolate Land, and the sword in her hands was just a low-grade magical treasure and wasn’t enough for such a large-scale battle.
“What will you do then?” Ji Yinyi didn’t want to accept the sword, and she was still as obstinate as she was when he first met her.
“Just take it,” Jiang Chen spoke gravely in a tone that would brook no questions from her.
“You!” Ji Yinyi raised her brows and wasn’t willing to back down. However, when she met his gaze, she was taken aback, and just accepted the Heavenly Fault Sword.
The Heavenly Fault Sword was an Ancient Sword, which was why when Song Hao witnessed Jiang Chen offering it to a woman, he was so infuriated that his face became ashen.
“Start!”
It was at this moment that the battle over the Future Sword Venerable’s title started, and everyone started fighting.
On the edge of the stage, Jiang Chen, Ji Yinyi, Tian Ling, Huo Zhengyu, Wu Ziming, and Song Hao were facing each other. They hadn’t started fighting yet because Wu Ziming was arguing with the others about who would fight Jiang Chen.
“This is a battle over the Future Sword Venerable’s title, and it’s me who should deal with him,” Song Hao said.
“This isn’t related to the sword. My Fire Spirit Clan have an irreconcilable enmity with him,” Huo Zhengyu wasn’t willing to concede, and he also wanted to fight Jiang Chen.
“If we talk about feuds, I also need to personally kill Jiang Chen to get rid of my Heart Demon,” Wu Ziming said.
Those three people all refused to concede and ended up deadlocked.
“It seems you have all made a mistake. This isn’t the Spirits’ domain, and it isn’t up to you to decide who you will fight.” It was at this moment that Tian Ling’s ice-cold voice echoed out. Her body floated, as she charged forward with her sword.
Their three opponents couldn’t discern which one she would attack with her sword until the last moment.
“Heavenly Sword Dawn!” Tian Ling’s sword shone brightly as she fused with her sword and thrust it at Wu Ziming.
“Sword Doctrine’s Master Level!” Jiang Chen and Song Hao were both startled. They didn’t expect that a woman like Tian Ling could get such great attainments in the Sword Doctrine.
“Divine Wind!” Wu Ziming reacted quickly and used his famous spirit skill and turned into an untraceable swift wind. However, he didn’t expect at all that at such a moment Tian Ling’s sword would shine bright and rays would shoot from it in all directions.
As a scream echoed, blood appeared among the swift wind Wu Ziming had turned into, and his true body quickly after appeared at a distant place. His whole face was filled with disbelief.
“You shouldn’t have to use the same spirit skill before me again. I’m the owner of the Civil and Martial Arts Institute.” A faint voice echoed, as Tian Ling charged forward and attacked once again.
Her words let people realize why there were still people who hadn’t started fighting until now. It was because they didn’t want to expose their true power too early and before the appearance of the title they wanted.
“Universe Sword Doctrine!”
All of a sudden, Song Hao made a move with his sword. It was the same unique move he had used once in Heaven Divine City. The sword on his back cried loudly and soared into the sky, before it flew down quickly.
“Jiang Chen! You don’t have any external power now. Let’s see how you will deal with this,” Song Hao shouted loudly.
When Song Hao had used this move last time, Jiang Chen had directly deflected the sword and sent it flying away, and Song Hao was still angry about that and couldn’t accept it.
Using external power to deal with people of the same generation was a shameful matter. However, on that day, it wasn’t Song Hao alone who was in the city, and there were still a group of talented youths like Huo Zhengyu. If Jiang Chen didn’t use external power at that time, he would have been beaten by them viciously, hence why no one criticized him for his actions.
On this day, Song Hao wanted to let everyone witness the power of the Human Clan’s younger generation’s greatest swordsman. His Universe Sword’s falling speed was becoming quicker and quicker, and it seemed like the sword tip was ignited and a large fire appeared on it.
Jiang Chen was standing below it, and he just raised his chin slightly and still didn’t try to dodge it.
“Reincarnation Punch!” Jiang Chen didn’t even use his sword and just thrust his fist at it. However, he didn’t really take an opponent such as Song Hao lightly, and while he thrust his fist, he still used his lightning technique and didn’t hold anything back.
Before the Universe Sword had collided with Jiang Chen’s fist, the light emanating from his fist reached it. A rumbling sound echoed when the Universe Sword came in contact with the light emanating from the fist. It swayed slightly and started revolving around.
It seemed like Jiang Chen didn’t even need to take a breather for even a moment. He just put his hand on his Red Cloud Sword, use a teleportation technique, and attacked Song Hao. When he appeared after the teleportation, he had already started using the Fire Sword Realm. His Sword Doctrine’s power had already reached master level, and once it was used along with his second-level Fire Lore, it would release a dreadful might.
Song Hao didn’t have his sword now, but he still didn’t panic. He just extended his hand and grabbed the scabbard on his back. He started using it as a sword. Since Song Hao was esteemed by even Huo Zhengyu, who had reached the sixth level of the Fire Lore, he surely wouldn’t end up defeated this easily.
“Your Sword Doctrine’s power doesn’t have any exceptional qualities. It’s really an insult to all Sword Doctrines,” Song Hao mocked his opponent, while he used the scabbard as a sword to face his enemy. The raging flames couldn’t approach his body, and they were all swept away by his boundless sword energy. Song Hao looked at his precious sword, which wasn’t far from him. It was still revolving crazily, and he couldn’t control it.
“It’s fortunate that his Sword Doctrine’s power is so mediocre.” Song Hao just set his mind at ease and waited for Huo Zhengyu to come back to kill their enemy.
However, fear started gradually appearing on Song Hao’s face because he discovered a terrifying matter. Jiang Chen’s sword aura wasn’t weakening at all. Instead, it was rising up continuously, and the Red Cloud Sword’s radiance emitted a scalding temperature, which could evaporate even a whole ocean. All the people on the battlefield started dripping with sweat.
