Chapter 1404 - 1403: Sword Scabbard Versus the Enemy

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1403: Sword Scabbard Versus the Enemy

Indeed, relying solely on self-study is not effective. Only by fighting against someone who has mastered the Two Sword Technique and experiencing it firsthand can one quickly break through difficulties and master it.

But with just this little experience, it’s still far from fully mastering it.

"Gongben Yeliang, the Two Sword Technique of your Gongben Family seems to be a bit overrated."

Ling Chen patted the dust off his clothes and mocked.

"What did you say?"

A flash of cold light passed through Gongben Yeliang’s eyes. He had a strong sense of family honor, and Ling Chen’s disparagement of the Gongben Family’s Two Sword Technique was something he could not tolerate!

A dragon has a reverse scale; touching it means death!

Ling Chen was asking for death!

With rage rising, Gongben Yeliang crossed his twin swords, and the aura around him surged crazily, like a beast gone mad. He wildly infused his True Qi into the twin swords, locking onto Ling Chen from afar.

It was the same move as before, Sky Spirit Flash, but in Gongben Yeliang’s explosive state, its power increased by at least three points, releasing a vast Sword Intent that swept through the mid-air like a storm.

"Ling Chen should unsheath his sword this time, right?"

Snow Princess looked up at Gongben Yeliang in the air with some surprise. Even she felt a shiver in the face of such might. If Ling Chen doesn’t unsheath his sword, does he still intend to block such a terrifying sword technique with just the scabbard?

"Without unsheathing, he will surely lose."

Source Yoshihiro shook his head, appearing to have already predicted the outcome.

However, in their view, Ling Chen remained motionless, showing no inclination to unsheath his sword. Instead, he repeated the same action, planning once again to use the scabbard to meet Gongben Yeliang’s move!

"This guy would rather lose to Gongben Yeliang than draw his sword?"

Jue Mingxiang watched with some anxiety. She was hoping to see an exciting duel between Ling Chen and Gongben Yeliang. If Ling Chen was defeated like this, it would be too lackluster.

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Gongben Yeliang’s twin knives swung out, creating an extremely sharp red and blue Cross Sword Aura, fiercely slashing towards Ling Chen.

Bang!

The crowd seemed to see only the knife light flashing out, and the next moment it landed on Ling Chen, engulfing him once more.

After unleashing such a shocking strike, Gongben Yeliang panted heavily. Using such a powerful blade technique consumed him significantly, but he was fully satisfied with the power of this strike. He believed that even if Ling Chen could barely block it, he would surely suffer severe injuries!

The dust gradually dispersed, and within it, Ling Chen’s figure slowly emerged. His body was covered in fine knife scars, some of which had cut to the bone, clearly indicating that he wasn’t unharmed in the collision but suffered considerable injuries.

"Daring to belittle the Gongben Family’s Two Sword Technique, Ling Chen, what do you have to say now?"

Seeing Ling Chen’s heavily injured appearance, a smug smile appeared on Gongben Yeliang’s face. Ling Chen’s wildly arrogant expression was still vivid in his mind. Now, let’s see how Ling Chen can still smile!

"I still stand by my words: the so-called Two Sword Technique is just so-so."

Ling Chen replied with a faint smile.

"Stubborn fool!"

Gongben Yeliang’s expression turned furious, and he suddenly flashed forward, swinging his twin blades fiercely like spirals, directly toward Ling Chen’s vital points!

Now that Ling Chen was heavily injured, yet he dared to speak arrogantly. He truly didn’t know what he was getting into!

As Gongben Yeliang charged forward, Ling Chen had already firmly grasped the hilt of the Thunder Sound Sword and the Red Sky Sword. Crossing the two sword scabbards together, he assumed a striking posture. When Gongben Yeliang closed within about twenty meters, Ling Chen abruptly crossed and slashed out with the scabbards.

"Dual Sword Stream, Thunder Cut!"

With Ling Chen’s fierce shout, a violent Thunder Sword Light shot out, the combined power of two Thunder Cuts, seemingly splitting the entire sky into four parts. At the center of the four voids was Gongben Yeliang’s body.

Initially, Gongben Yeliang did not pay much attention, but when the Cross Sword Aura approached, he sensed a strong sense of danger. However, it was already too late to dodge.

Bang!

The reverse-crossing Sword Aura collided with Gongben Yeliang’s blade light, unleashing fearsome power as if a compressed force suddenly exploded with ferocity.

"No!"

Gongben Yeliang watched as the blade light in front of him shattered, along with his Protective True Qi, sliced apart by Ling Chen’s Cross Sword Aura, tearing his chest open, reducing his clothes to tatters.

Everyone saw blood rain splattering in mid-air, as Gongben Yeliang was hurled backward by the Cross Sword Aura, flying high like a large bird. But upon reaching a thousand feet, his body plummeted to the ground like a stone, crashing heavily down, twitching a few times before falling still.

Sss!

Witnessing Gongben Yeliang’s miserable state, Source Yoshihiro and the others gasped. They thought Gongben Yeliang could defeat Ling Chen without drawing his sword; they didn’t expect Gongben Yeliang to suffer such a crushing defeat without any suspense.

Ling Chen only used the scabbard!

He didn’t even draw his sword, yet he defeated Gongben Yeliang. It was simply hard to accept.

The gap between them was so enormous!

Moreover, Ling Chen used a swordsmanship technique that seemed to be Dual Sword Stream.

Defeating Gongben Yeliang, who mastered the Two Sword Technique, with Dual Sword Stream, this was outright ironic.

"This person has far surpassed the younger generation, no one can compete with him, not even Beichuan Ye."

Jue Mingxiang’s bright eyes were intensely serious, sighing with some dismay. Ling Chen was too powerful, to the point that she felt a little awed. Among the younger generation, no one could give her such a feeling, this dominance—Beichuan Ye did not even come close.

This era has birthed such a monster, both a blessing and a sorrow for their generation.

"It’s a pity that Gongben Yeliang’s Two Sword Technique isn’t strong, and he hasn’t fully grasped its essence either."

Watching Gongben Yeliang lying on the ground like a dead dog, Ling Chen shook his head, feeling a bit regretful. His intent was merely to gain insight into the blade technique from Gongben Yeliang. The result yielded some improvement, but not as much as hoped. To make Dual Sword Stream stronger, perhaps he would need to face stronger members of the Gongben Family or battle Master Gongben’s manifestation in the Sword Prison to achieve greater breakthroughs.
