Chapter 1396 - 1395: Ju Ancestor

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1395: Ju Ancestor

Sword Prison, Level Eleven.

This level of the Sword Prison is completely different compared to Level Ten.

The space of Level Eleven is a fog space, filled with thick mist everywhere, blocking the view ahead, making it impossible to see one’s fingers when stretched out.

Here, the sensing range is compressed to a ten-meter area around, beyond that is a muddled region, where no aura can be sensed at all.

Ling Chen heightened his concentration twelvefold and stepped slowly deeper into the fog space.

Suddenly, the mist tore open, and out from it shot a dazzling Sword Light.

Ling Chen’s pupils contracted as he swiftly shifted his body to narrowly avoid the Sword Light.

Ling Chen saw the source of the Sword Light, surprisingly, it was a sharp Treasure Sword that skimmed past his side before disappearing into the mist behind him.

Yet, just at that moment, Ling Chen abruptly sensed a chilling coldness from behind. Without a hint of hesitation, he immediately turned around, and just then, a figure appeared in the mist behind him. The figure silently drew a sword to strike, swift as lightning.

This strike, just drawn from the sword scabbard, exerted utmost power, directly aiming to pierce Ling Chen’s Dantian!

Clang!

The Thunder Sound Sword in Ling Chen’s hand blocked the critical spot, successfully deflecting the Sword Light thrusting from the mist, creating a piercing sound that echoed as Ling Chen’s body was pushed back, retreating into the mist.

At that moment, Ling Chen finally saw the appearance of the swordsman before him. The opponent wore oversized blue and white attire, appearing very frail, but perhaps precisely because of that, his speed was extraordinary, reaching an inconceivable rate just when drawing the sword.

"Wufa."

The words suddenly flashed in Ling Chen’s mind, surprising him. The Sword Drawing Technique employed by this swordsman must be the renowned Wufa style of Yingzhou, demanding perfection in every motion when drawing the sword, completely eliminating useless movements to deliver a lethal strike to the enemy.

The person before him must be the Ju Ancestor, just like the Gatekeeper of the Tenth Level of Sword Prison, also an exceptionally outstanding Swordsman.

With high spirits, Ling Chen bolstered his vigilance, raised his sword, and charged forward.

Meanwhile, also in the Eleventh Level Sword Prison, a heroic woman dressed in purple, her right arm exposed, was engaged with the Gatekeeper of Level Eleven.

"Ancestor!"

Ju Mingxiang gazed at the silhouette in the mist, her expression exceedingly excited. She was determined to reach Level Eleven this time to see her Ju Family’s Swordsman ancestor, who had been her idol since childhood. This admiration was akin to Gongben Yeliang’s for Master Gongben.

However, the swordsman in the mist remained expressionless, merely brewing for a moment before unleashing a fiercely penetrating sword, seemingly bridging a ten-meter distance instantaneously, appearing as if right before her.

But at the moment the swordsman in the mist struck, Ju Mingxiang also wielded a sword. This move, in concept and sophistication, closely matched her opponent’s, evidently making them identical sword techniques.

Clang!

The two swords hit each other simultaneously, sparks flew, and the two figures were shaken back, with the surrounding mist opportunistically enveloping them both.

Pop!

In another realm within the Eleventh Level Sword Prison, the mist suddenly parted, revealing a different face, a young man gripping Twin Swords—Gongben Yeliang.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

Though wielding Twin Swords, his striking speed was unhampered, quickly exchanging over a dozen blows with the mist-hidden swordsman, embroiled in furious battle.

A mighty strike was blocked by the Twin Swords, causing the mist-hidden swordsman to leap high, his Long Sword turning into a storm, descending from above.

"Secret Sword · Heavenly Wind!"

In the heat of battle, the Gatekeeper of Level Eleven unleashed a killer move, intensifying the power released by the Sword Light!

Gongben Yeliang’s pupils contracted; facing this once-renowned Ancient Swordsman, he dared not neglect, his True Qi surging violently within, channeling into his arms, causing his entire being to spiral and clash with the Secret Sword descending from the sky!

Outside, everyone held their breath, eyes fixed on the name etched on the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword, breathless.

At this moment, only four people remain in the Sword Prison.

Gongben Yeliang, Ju Mingxiang, Liusheng Bushou, and Ling Chen.

All four stalled at Level Eleven, and half an hour had passed.

Clearing Level Eleven isn’t easy, as it stands, from the entire youth generation, only Beichuan Ye has succeeded.

Bzzz!

At this moment, a doorway of light appeared before the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword, and from it emerged a retreating figure with three severe sword marks on his chest—it was Liusheng Bushou.

"Too powerful to resist."

Liusheng Bushou chuckled bitterly; the Tenth Level Gatekeeper was already strong, but at Level Eleven, the Gatekeeper’s power soared, fundamentally beyond their reach.

Beneath the opponent’s killer move, even employing his best Ancient Sword maneuvers was crushed head-on, leading to ultimate defeat.

Soon after, another figure appeared from the entrance, a woman dressed in purple.

"Ju Mingxiang also failed."

Source Yoshihiro and Snow Princess slightly narrowed their eyes; now, only two remain.

"The ancestor’s swordsmanship truly achieved perfection beyond mere mortals."

Though Ju Mingxiang failed, her excitement was not dampened, for she witnessed the person she longed to see and fought for a long time with her ancestor—the fulfillment achieved, winning or losing was trivial.

Her swordsmanship, advanced considerably from this battle, was fulfillment enough.

"Those two haven’t come out yet?"

Glancing at the people behind her, Ju Mingxiang wore a puzzled expression, aware of her ancestor’s swordsmanship prowess—could these two possibly break through Level Eleven?

At this moment, within the Level Eleven Sword Prison space.

The battle has reached its decisive stage, pushing Gongben Yeliang to his ultimate limit.

"Swallow Six Consecutive Cuts!"

The mist-hidden swordsman slashed six times continuously, the six strikes connecting midair like a giant swallow, fiercely enveloping Gongben Yeliang.

Gazing at the descending Swallow Sword Qi, Gongben Yeliang’s expression turned gravely stern. Though on the verge of exhaustion, in such desperate straits, his Vital Energy suddenly erupted, with sword qi jetting from his Twin Swords. Then he leaped, unleashing a Reverse Slash with his red and blue glowing swords!

Crack!

The sound of shattering sword qi echoed as Gongben Yeliang landed behind the Gatekeeper, splitting the Swallow Sword Qi in two, along with the Gatekeeper’s body, which was severed into four parts and dispersed.

Bzzz!

The Thousand Zhang Giant Sword vibrated sharply, lifting Gongben Yeliang’s name to the region of Level Twelve.
