Chapter 47: The Two Sides Are Evenly Matched

  Boom!

  A deafening rumble shook the air, stirring up powerful gusts of wind. In an instant, sand and rocks flew about, filling the entire courtyard.

  His figure fluttered like a spirit cat, emitting an inexplicable aura of ferocity all over his body. Every punch he threw stirred up a fierce gust of wind, and his violent momentum charged forward like a stormy rain, pressing down on Zhang Chulang.

  "Awesome!"

  Under such a dense storm of punches, Zhang Chulang was like a leaf floating in the sky, seemingly swaying in the wind and rain, but himself was not damaged at all.

  At every dawn, under the truly lethal impact of the fist peak, it will dodge and flash between electric sparks, with a purple robe fluttering, extremely agile.

  As a cultivator of the Refining True Realm, he was a newly promoted elite genius in his sect and would naturally receive special training from the Xuan Yun Sect. He was given a mid-grade Xuan Stage "Rainfall Sword Technique".

  This sword technique is a masterpiece that combines attack and body method as one, cultivating to the extreme can make the sword transform into countless, like facing a sudden rain that cannot be avoided, it's extremely fierce.

  But at this time, Zhang Chulang was only using his hands to block and parry, the long sword at his waist had not been drawn, and he dodged with quick steps, it was clear that he had not used his full strength.

  But even so, he still felt a pressure that was only present when facing an existence of the same level, making him extremely cautious.

  "Hmmph!"

  Li Chen's eyes were cold and stern, his hands moved swiftly without any hesitation, unleashing a flurry of violent punches and tiger roars.

  The lion pounces on the rabbit with all its might, but Zhang Chulang, proud of his genius identity, is unwilling to use his full strength at once. Li Chen doesn't have such an idea.

  Originally intended to directly kill this newly promoted genius of the sect, but after a stormy attack, his mood finally calmed down, and the killing intent on his body also converged a lot.

  After all, it's youthful vigor, although mature beyond one's years, but ultimately lacking in experience and prone to impulsiveness.

  Upon careful consideration, even if I were to kill Zhang Chuyun today and gain a temporary sense of satisfaction, with his current level of cultivation and strength, no matter how talented he is, he hasn't reached the point where Xuan Yun Sect would truly value him, allowing him to recklessly slaughter elite disciples.

  "Rain falls, cold stars!"

  Zhang Chulang, as a cultivator of the Refining Truth Realm, had senses that were in no way inferior to those of Li Chen. He immediately detected the change in aura around him.

  Thinking that he would attack with all his might, his inner strength was insufficient, and he had no follow-up power. Seizing the opportunity, without seeing how he moved, the precious sword at his waist rang out crisply, transforming into a streak of silver rainbow.

  In an instant, the three-foot-long sword in his wrist shook and transformed into dozens of star points, wrapped in a fierce killing intent, covering Li Chen.

  "Storm Break!"

  A strong gust of wind hit his face, and Li Chen's fists suddenly crossed each other. The cyan-gray aura flashed, and a stream of air suddenly appeared in front of his chest, pushing forward fiercely.

  Ding Dong!

  Under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, that air mass abruptly blocked Zhang Chulang's sword, which was a full-strength sword technique containing the true energy of a cultivator in the Refining Truth Realm.

  Wow!

  A strong gust of air rises, dust flies everywhere, two figures fly out and retreat continuously without stopping.

  "Death to the villain!"

  Although shocked by Li Chen's ferocity, Yang Songmo and Chen Mingluo had already targeted the opportunity and simultaneously rushed up.

  A long sword and a short spear, in the rolling smoke and dust, flashed with a hidden cold light, stabbing towards Li Chen who had not yet stood firm on the ground.

  No one had expected the two to launch a sneak attack at this time. By the time Pang Wenshan wanted to stop them, it was already too late. Chu Ziyan's pretty face changed slightly, her body moved slightly, but she immediately stopped in her tracks and turned her head away.

  Hmph!

  Li Chen, who was retreating, was also shocked. He exerted force at his waist and twisted it hard to dodge the long knife's slash, but that short spear had struck him right in the waist.

  To everyone's astonishment, Chen Mingluo stabbed Li Chen's waist with a spear, but not a single drop of blood seeped out, as if he had only pierced his clothes.

  "Get out!"

  He shouted loudly and violently, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light. With one hand, he seized Chen Mingluo, who was stunned and motionless, and with a swift kick of his left foot...

  Boom!

  A loud thud, Chen Ming Luo flew out like a rolling gourd, several feet away, and in mid-air, he let out a "wa" sound as he spat out a mouthful of old blood.

  Yang Sengmo, who originally wanted to make a comeback and kill Li Chen with one sword, had just turned the blade and hadn't even swung it out when he was swept across the neck by Li Chen's horizontally placed right arm, flying out like a broken kite, following in Chen Mingluo's footsteps.

  Everyone rushed forward to check on their injuries. Although they didn't approve of what they had done, after all, they were fellow clansmen and couldn't just stand by and watch them perish.

  "Looking for death!"

  Witnessing two people being beaten to death under his own eyes, Zhang Chulang's face turned gloomy and he rushed out again, with the treasured sword in hand raised high.

  With a burst of energy, a few inches long sharp blade shot out, and the sword aura was born. It was a Ling-class treasure sword.

  At the moment of its flash, the sword energy suddenly increased by several inches, with a faint blue hue, making it even more sharp.

  As a cultivator in the Refining Realm, Chu Long's aura had already revealed his elemental attribute. Judging by its color, it wasn't hard to guess that he was a water-attribute warrior.

  "I'm afraid you won't make it!"

  Although he couldn't kill his opponent, Li Chen wouldn't choose to passively take the beating. With a flick of his sleeves, he suddenly charged forward.

  This time returning to the sect, although it was at Li Mingyun's behest, Li Chen had already thought of many excuses.

  To avoid being framed by others, one must show strong power to overwhelm these so-called geniuses. Only in this way can one gain the attention of the sect and not be triggered by trivial matters.

  This Chu Long is the first stepping stone for him to declare his existence to the Xuan Yun Sect. Even if he doesn't kill him now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

  Looking again at his fists, a complete cyan glove appeared on top of them. With a clang, it came into contact with Zhang Chuyang's sword tip, yet not even a scratch was left.

  On its left hand, although there are only two fingers on the glove, it's not hard to see that this is a damaged spirit-stage gauntlet.

  His figure flashed, and at his waist in the dawn, the broken clothes revealed a few golden threads, which was actually a piece of inner armor.

  Judging from how it blocked Chen Mingluo's full-force thrust earlier, this armor must also be a Spirit-level treasure; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to withstand the attack without suffering any damage.

  Everyone who heard the sound of envy in their hearts, and even Zhang Chuyang's eyes couldn't help but shoot out a greedy intention.

  As a cultivator in the Refining Realm, he was one of the top geniuses in his sect. If not for obtaining a jar of Monkey Wine a year ago and exhausting all his resources to exchange for an opportunity to break through to the Refining Realm.

  This Rainfall Sword on my body was bestowed by our sect.

  And Li Chen himself actually possessed two great spiritual stage treasures, how could he not be envious.

  If it were to be made known to the public, Li Chen's body not only had two major spiritual stage treasures, but also a cold spirit dagger and a storage bag, who knows what they would think?

  A greedy thought arose in his heart, and the evil thoughts that already existed suddenly expanded several times. The power of Zhang Chulang's swordsmanship actually increased by several times under the blessing of this greed.

  In an instant, the originally only dozens of starlight silver awns suddenly increased by seventeen or eighteen.

  A Refining Realm initial peak, a newly promoted sect elite genius, an eternal and unparalleled demon, a freak with a complete ten-layered Small Heavenly Cycle. At this time, the two of them have powers that can be said to be evenly matched!
