Chapter 1400 - 1399: Advancing at Full Throttle

Chapter 1400: Chapter 1399: Advancing at Full Throttle

Ling Chen downed a pot of strong liquor, his face quickly flushed as red as a monkey’s bottom, burning hot.

At the same time, Ling Chen’s gaze became slightly dazed, as the effects of the alcohol began to take hold.

The next moment, the dwarf elder again thrust his Bamboo Sword forward, a sword swaying unsteadily, yet at the same time immensely powerful.

However, at this very moment, Ling Chen, in a slightly bewildered state, saw the trajectory of the opponent’s sword quite clearly. The corner of Ling Chen’s mouth lifted into a curve, and he too, like the dwarf elder, staggered and wobbled as he wielded his sword.

Clang!

The paths of the two swords were completely different, yet they collided in the end, the two swords meeting with sparks flying.

The dwarf elder’s swordsmanship seemed to extract strength from the liquor, the more he drank, the stronger his sword techniques became. Ling Chen was no different; his Green Lotus Sword Song was derived from Taibai Sword Immortal, whose realm of blending poetry, liquor, and sword was unrivaled in the world.

The more he drank, the more the power of the Green Lotus Sword Song rose.

"First Style, Ascending Green Lotus!"

"Second Style, Blue Lotus Capture!"

"Third Style, Green Silk Evening Snow!"

Ling Chen unleashed his sword techniques one by one, from afar it looked like Ling Chen and the dwarf elder were two drunkards fighting without any order, yet any expert swordsman could see this was not a brawl between drunkards, but a duel between two top-notch swordsmen with superior swordsmanship!

Finally, when Ling Chen executed the seventh move of his swordsmanship, a sword struck away the bamboo sword from the dwarf elder’s hand, then at astonishing speed pierced the center of the dwarf elder’s brow.

The dwarf elder’s body stiffened and then collapsed, shattering into countless pieces that disappeared entirely.

Boom!

After vanquishing the dwarf elder’s body, Ling Chen also sat on the ground exhausted.

Although drinking can enhance swordsmanship, drinking too much leads to drunkenness. There’s a saying about the way of drinking: fullness brings deficiency. Though Ling Chen learned the Sword Immortal’s swordsmanship, his tolerance for liquor was far less than the latter’s.

After defeating the dwarf elder, the wind and snow ahead suddenly converged, forming an eye within the storm and snowstorm, unveiling the entrance to the Fourteenth level.

But this time, Ling Chen did not rashly enter. Instead, after recovering for a while and adjusting to his peak condition, he stood up and walked towards the wind-eye, his figure disappearing within.

"Why is there no movement yet?"

On the outside, after a dreary wait of two hours, everyone furrowed their brows repeatedly. Whether Ling Chen broke through to the next level or got defeated and transmitted out, there ought to be a result, yet Ling Chen remained motionless at the Thirteenth level. It truly left them puzzled.

What on earth is Ling Chen doing inside?

They found it hard to imagine why Ling Chen could stay so long in the Thirteenth level. If the Thirteenth level had a guardian stronger than the Dragon People, Ling Chen should have come out now.

Buzz!

At this moment, on the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword, light flashed fiercely, even the ground trembled.

"There’s movement!"

The audience, getting somewhat bored from waiting, brightened their eyes one after another.

"Finally about to emerge." Source Yoshihiro gazed at the area in front of the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword, where the light gate of Sword Prison appeared.

However, the light gate did not appear; instead, Ling Chen’s name jumped from the Thirteenth level to the Fourteenth level on the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword.

"What, he broke through to the Fourteenth level?!"

Source Yoshihiro seemed to have seen a ghost, his mouth gaping wide as if struck by lightning.

A stir rippled through the crowd; the Thirteenth level had already shattered the Sword Prison record for the younger generation, yet unexpectedly, Ling Chen was not satisfied and went on to the Fourteenth level!

"It’s terrifying!"

Jue Mingxiang’s face revealed a hint of shock, the Fourteenth level, those who could break through to this level were the top swordsmen of the previous generation on Yingzhou. That Ling Chen could break through to the Fourteenth level was simply unimaginable.

This was a height they dared not even dream of.

"This is the style of Sword King Ling Chen." Snow Princess trembled slightly, no wonder even Beichuan Ye was willing to submit, this person was truly frightening.

"Fourteenth level!"

Liusheng Bushou’s heart trembled; although he anticipated Ling Chen would surpass Beichuan Ye’s record, he did not expect Ling Chen could directly break through to the Fourteenth level, matching the top swordsmen of the previous generation.

After all, the top swordsmen of the previous generation had their swordsmanship honed through countless trials; their techniques were beyond comparison with the younger generation, both in form and realm. Yet Ling Chen as a member of the younger generation had broken through to this extent, suggesting his swordsmanship already transcended the younger generation’s level, enough to rival the older top swordsmen!

Feeling a chill in his heart, Liusheng Bushou took a deep breath. Thankfully, Ling Chen had no intention to kill him earlier, otherwise, he could not have possibly made it off Fish-dragon island.

Red Leaf’s beautiful eyes flashed with shock as well; Ling Chen’s feat was extremely rare in the history of Yingzhou’s young generation. In her memory, only Master Gongben broke through to the Fourteenth level when he was a young swordsman, but that was Master Gongben!

Throughout Yingzhou, there was only this one peerless swordsman.

And yet Ling Chen’s current achievement could rival Master Gongben, something utterly unbelievable to anyone.

Too shocking!

Outside Sword Prison, everyone without exception was in a state of shock, unable to calm down for a long time.

And at this moment, Ling Chen had entered the Fourteenth level space of Sword Prison.

In his view was a quiet bamboo forest, and Ling Chen walked forward not far on a shaded path; he saw a calm lake shimmering with light.

After scanning the surroundings, Ling Chen’s gaze settled on the lakeside not far away, where sat an angler elder wearing a straw cloak.

The angler elder’s body sat there, motionless, not even aware of the bird perched on his head, defecating on his Dou Li.

Yet the angler elder seemed utterly oblivious to it, continuing to fish there, as if entering a state of forgetting both self and environment, entirely isolated from the outside world.

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly; after encountering the dwarf elder in the previous level, he dared not underestimate this angler elder, instead heightened his vigilance to the extreme, taking steps towards the angler elder.

Just as Ling Chen moved to within about ten meters of the angler elder, the latter suddenly opened his eyes.

At the moment he opened his eyes, Ling Chen abruptly accelerated, taking the initiative to strike, a sword like an aurora thrust towards the angler elder’s back!
