"Hmm? He actually blocked my full-force strike!" Peerless Sword was slightly shocked; even when facing Sima Xiaoyao and Liu Mengru, he didn't feel this much pressure. Yet someone could face him head-on and remain unharmed.

Still, he didn't place Ling Chen on the same level as himself, unbeknownst to him, Ling Chen aside from cultivation, essentially had no disadvantages. All of Peerless Sword's advantages meant little to Ling Chen; this Sword that Defines the World, may seem formidable in Sima Xiaoyao's eyes, but to Ling Chen, it's not much, lacking in excitement.

After blocking Peerless Sword's techniques forcefully, Ling Chen's eyes moved, the pyramid around him suddenly dismantled, and streaks of Golden Sword Qi flew out, where they passed, Peerless Sword's illusions shattered, swept away.

Peerless Sword's expression slightly changed, his palm slapped onto the sword's hilt, the treasure sword in his hand suddenly split into dozens, sweeping outward and completely destroying the Golden Sword Qi shot by Ling Chen.

"Thunder Cut!"

Seizing the initiative, Ling Chen hesitated not, slashing towards Peerless Sword; the thunder sword qi tore through the sky with a destructive aura, slicing down.

Peerless Sword perceived the extraordinariness of this move, countered with Wind and Thunder Traceless.

Bam!

Lightning exploded, two streams of sword qi burst apart, both Ling Chen and Peerless Sword retreated several dozen steps, the edges of their garments fluttering.

Ling Chen pursued closely, the Red Sky Sword in his hand transformed into a spiral, chasing Peerless Sword at a lightning speed.

"Who would have thought Ling Yu could gain the upper hand!"

Gui Tianchou, Xing Youfa, and others felt somewhat incredulous; Ling Chen's opponent now was none other than Peerless Sword standing atop the pyramid of the younger generation.

In this situation, Ling Chen could still seize advantage from Peerless Sword's hands.

Other spectators, especially those from the Ling Family, had their blood boiling; the power exploded by Ling Chen far exceeded their imagination, not only fighting Peerless Sword to a draw but gradually grasping the initiative.

"Hum, my royal brother's power far surpasses this level, be ready to open your dog eyes wide!"

Li Tailong wore a cold smile.

"Heh, this Ling Yu thinks a slight advantage means he can truly defeat Peerless Sword, really naive and laughable."

Perhaps seeing the Ling Family's excited expressions, Li Yifeng's face suddenly showed a mocking intent.

"Heavenly Dragon Instant Kill Sword!"

Finally, Peerless Sword executed his killer move, using it at full force, transformed into a straight line, the sword qi like a little dragon instantly slashed out.

Regaining the situation, Peerless Sword held his breath, concentrated, sweeping out a sword diagonally, sword qi fused into a line slicing through the gap towards Ling Chen, if this sword hit, even a Half-Saint Powerhouse couldn't survive, previously Liu Mengru's transformation was broken by this sword, putting her at a disadvantage.

"Golden Sword, Condense!"

Ling Chen calmly, with both hands gripping his sword, in a weighty swift posture, slashed out a sword, all the Golden Sword Qi infused into the Red Sky Sword, completely dyeing it golden, then fiercely burst forth.

The Red Sky Sword Qi, enhanced by the Golden Sword Qi, blurred the vision with speed, colliding with the dragon-shaped sword qi fused into a line, only a crack was heard, the dragon-shaped sword qi severed into two, one part grazing past Ling Chen, but the other part still hit Ling Chen.

And the golden sword qi, transforming into beams, struck Peerless Sword's Protective True Qi.

Both emitted a muffled groan, retreating over ten steps, their blood and energy fluctuating.

"Nice, really nice, this is the first time I've met a swordsman who can equally match me. Unfortunately, my strength isn't something you can imagine, today you will surely lose, there's only one first."

Peerless Sword stayed composed, his aura unleashed in all directions, yet his gaze turned incomparably sharp; anyone who looked at him felt as if countless swords pierced their eyes.

"You're right, there's only one in first place, but this is also my point."

Ling Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze combining into a beam, extremely penetrating, his clothes flapping without wind, his long hair fluttering like ribbons.

"Heh, quite presumptuous, speak again when you can withstand my sword techniques!"

Peerless Sword never placed anyone in his eyes, even with Ling Chen's strength before him, he still didn't regard Ling Chen, throughout this battle he held absolute confidence.

Hence Ling Chen speaking to him this way seemed somewhat arrogant in Peerless Sword's view, as though the other was already his equal.

The sword inserted into its sheath, Peerless Sword leaned his body slightly forward, right hand resting on the sword hilt, swiftly gathering momentum without releasing.

"Show your skills as you wish, why bother speaking much!"

The Red Sky Sword pointed diagonally downward, the tip spewing red sword light, hissing, Ling Chen's posture unchanged, gaze leveled at Peerless Sword.

"As you wish!"

A sharp sword-like gleam flashed in Peerless Sword's eyes, then his surrounding sword momentum fully withdrew into his body, but only for an instant, his sword momentum was released once more.

Roar!

At the moment his sword momentum was unleashed, simultaneous dragon shadows appeared, roaring ground-shaking cries sweeping across the platform.

Within this kind of aura's wrap, Peerless Sword seemed transformed into a Dragon Clan descendant, in his sword momentum there was supreme overbearing style, a dominant aura, like a Nine-Five Supreme commanding the world.

Yet what surprised people was not merely Peerless Sword's surge in momentum, but with such a surge, Peerless Sword's cultivation unexpectedly broke through two stages from the Ninefold Realm of Sky Apex, reaching Intermediate semi-saint level!

"True Dragon Emperor War Technique!"

Liu Mengru and Sima Xiaoyao almost simultaneously changed expressions.

The so-called True Dragon Emperor War Technique is an unparalleled war technique within the Imperial Clan, the condition for learning this technique is extremely harsh, requiring the practitioner's bloodline to be the Imperial Clan's Supreme Bloodline!

In the current younger generation of Imperial Clan, only Peerless Sword met the conditions.

"The outcome is decided."

Li Yifeng's mouth showed a cold smile, a look indicating victory was determined.

At this conference, the use of elixirs is banned, as are certain negative forbidden techniques, but there's no ban on war techniques that briefly enhance cultivation!

According to him, among the Nine Great Families, only their Imperial Clan possesses such divine reversal techniques; the other Eight major families do not and cannot possess them.

"Who would have thought Peerless Sword still held such a trump card!"

Ling Lie and Ling Zhen's expressions drastically changed, then couldn't help but sigh. Up till now, Ling Chen fighting to this point is already very commendable; in the current situation, it's truly helpless, Peerless Sword still keeping such a powerful ace, who's his match among the younger generation?

Even if Ling Chen were extraorindary, exerting full potential, it would only match the normal state of Peerless Sword before; yet now Peerless Sword's cultivation surged to Intermediate semi-saint, how to fight?
