Ling Tian Sword God
Chapter 960 - 959: One Step Ahead
Although the previous battle between Liu Mengru and Li Tailong was a high-level duel and a pinnacle confrontation of the first tier, there was a noticeable gap in their strengths, impacting the spectacle of the match.
But now, Ling Yuxuan and Gui Tianchou face off, both are exceptionally talented top-tier prodigies with comparable power, evenly matched.
This is absolutely a top ten-level battle, only staged earlier.
The two almost simultaneously stepped onto the stage, releasing distinctly different auras, dividing the arena and each occupying half.
Ling Yuxuan's eyes were like swords, his Sword Momentum contained arrogance, dominance, and lawlessness, surging like a tide, while Gui Tianchou's aura was more dark and eerie. No matter how Ling Yuxuan's Sword Momentum attacked, how unstoppable it seemed, it couldn't suppress Gui Tianchou's aura, but was instead corroded by it.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
In the middle of the two, violent True Qi Energy intertwined, sparking fierce currents.
"It's truly a battle between two dragons, surely a fierce fight!"
A spectator warrior sighed.
However, on Ling Family's side, Ling Lie and Ling Zhen's faces couldn't relax. Originally, they thought there was a nine out of ten chance that Ling Family could produce two in the top ten this time, but they didn't expect a change so soon. Gui Tianchou's strength was not inferior to Ling Yuxuan's, and it's hard to say who would win this battle.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two almost attacked simultaneously.
Ling Yuxuan's figure flickered, the Void Instant Flash Step unfolding, with one flash appearing at Gui Tianchou's side, slashing out with his sword.
His sword was a Holy Tier Treasure Sword, entirely azure, incredibly sharp.
Unperturbed, Gui Tianchou suddenly retreated, like a ghost shadow, avoiding Ling Yuxuan's sharp edge, then halted abruptly ten meters behind him, and the fist he had kept behind him suddenly struck out fiercely, the majestic Fist Strength transforming into a Demon Wolf, rampaging wildly and crashing out.
Sword Light and Fist Strength crushed each other, the resulting shockwaves like a giant cauldron, blasting the two away.
"Sky-breaking Sword Technique, Splitting Heaven Style!"
Ling Yuxuan's survival instincts were strong, after roughly estimating Gui Tianchou's strength, he abruptly slashed out with his sword, directly using the third technique of Sky-breaking Sword Technique.
Sword Light pierced the air, leaving a black streak, the endpoint of the black streak extending towards Gui Tianchou's chest.
"Heavenly Wolf Destruction!"
Facing this majestic sword, Gui Tianchou formed a fist with his right hand, blasting upwards fiercely, a wolf head opening its mouth wide, biting down on the Sword Light, forcibly neutralizing Ling Yuxuan's sword technique.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The two had just landed, then immediately lunged at each other, the switch between stillness and movement so swift.
"Sky-breaking Sword Technique, Heaven Descending Technique!"
"Heaven Dominating Technique!"
"Heaven Weeping Technique!"
"Seven Kills Ghost King Fist!"
"Greedy Wolf Fist!"
"Sky Demon Solar Eclipse Fist!"
The two each applied absolute techniques, fighting so evenly matched, the entire arena filled with their sword qi and fist strength.
"Heaven Merging Technique!"
Ling Yuxuan finally unleashed the seventh technique of Sky-breaking Sword Technique, his aura seemingly merging with the great momentum of the entire arena, a sword strike caused the Void to tremble, transforming into countless stars in the sky, each star a sword qi, completely enveloping Gui Tianchou's body.
"Impressive, but useless against me."
Gui Tianchou formed seals with his hands, stomped his feet, and seven or eight black shadows erupted from his body, each shadow having formidable strength, rapidly punching the stars in the sky, exploding them one by one.
The arena shook violently, the surface dotted with craters, totally scarred.
"It's hard to tell the winner!"
The crowd watched, hearts thumping, these two's battle was indeed of high level, and their matched strength led to an extremely intense battle.
"Sky-breaking Sword Technique, Heaven Sealing Technique!"
Seeing the collapsing stars, Ling Yuxuan immediately flew towards Gui Tianchou, halting abruptly in mid-air, then his Holy Grade Treasure Sword spun rapidly, a terrifying sword qi vortex subsequently expanded, causing celestial changes, altering wind and cloud.
After a series of sword techniques, Ling Yuxuan finally unleashed the eighth technique of Sky-breaking Sword Technique, currently the most powerful technique he mastered.
Facing the monstrous sword qi vortex unleashed by Ling Yuxuan, Gui Tianchou's expression was extremely grave, he formed seals with his hands, and a strong True Qi erupted from behind him, coalescing into a stunning black ghostly shadow. This ghostly shadow was formed by numerous black shadows gathering together, towering and imposing.
"Greedy Wolf Destroying World Fist!"
The instant the black ghost shadow coalesced, it struck out with a fist, faintly, a giant wolf head emerged at the ghostly shadow's fist point, attempting to swallow the sun and moon, colliding with the monstrous sword qi vortex.
Bang!
The two incredible offensives collided, terrifying air energy shot in all directions, Ling Yuxuan's figure and Gui Tianchou's figure were devoured almost simultaneously.
Splatter splatter!
Splatter! Splatter!
Not only Ling Yuxuan, Gui Tianchou also spat blood.
Mutual destruction!
"How is this possible?"
Ling Yuxuan discovered, like his opponent, he was immobile, forced to endure the backlash of the shockwave, injuring his internal organs.
The collision of the two great killing moves, the shockwave was too strong, Gui Tianchou couldn't withstand, Ling Yuxuan couldn't withstand either.
But suddenly, a smile appeared on Gui Tianchou's face, he laughed and said to Ling Yuxuan, "You lost."
The shockwave just now, his black ghostly shadow blocked most of it for him, only a small portion of sword qi breached the defense, injuring Gui Tianchou's viscera, but Ling Yuxuan took a greater impact.
Splatter!
As Gui Tianchou expected, Ling Yuxuan immediately spat another mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper, his breath weak.
The referee glanced at Ling Yuxuan, able to sense that Ling Yuxuan was indeed severely injured, and immediately declared: "This round, Gui Tianchou wins!"
"Gui Tianchou won! Unexpected, until the last moment one couldn't predict who would win or lose."
"Even in defeat, Ling Yuxuan fought honorably, not lacking in strength, only lacking in luck!"
"Indeed, Gui Tianchou surely was also injured, but unfortunately, the Sky-breaking Sword Art has more offense than defense, it's still the Gui Family's absolute technique that proved superior!" ππ£ππ²π°πππ§π π§ππ.πππΊ
"Not necessarily, if Ling Yuxuan could cultivate the Sky-breaking Sword Art to the ninth technique, Gui Tianchou would surely be defeated!"
The crowd was abuzz, some were regretful about Ling Yuxuan's defeat, while others thought it was due to strength, with many opinions and constant discussion.
"Alas, still lost!"
Ling Lie sighed heavily, the previously joyful mood instantly returned to its original state, wiped out completely, Ling Yuxuan's defeat dashed the hope of having two Ling Family geniuses in the top ten, and the situation might become worse because theoretically, Ling Yuxuan's strength is superior to Ling Chen. This time, there was a good chance to enter the top five, but now, if they want a higher rank, they can only place their hope on Ling Chen.
This hope is too slim.
