Chapter 2235: Chapter 2236: Defeat
Lin Chen’s sword surged like waves, having accompanied him for many years. During that time, he became adept with it, and Wang Hao’s sword skills were equally practiced for a long period, so their execution was smooth.
His toes swiftly tapped the ground, and his movements were even more elusive.
Lin Chen saw the Spiritual Body’s sluggishness, intending to rely on his own agility to solve the Spiritual Body before him as quickly as possible.
With several whizzing sounds, Lin Chen seemed to walk on the wind, and with precise movements, the sharp longsword cut through the air from above, slashing down towards the center of the Spiritual Body’s head!
The blade descending with a cold aura, the image of ’Lin Chen’ created by the Spiritual Body seemed to lose some hair with the sweep of the sword.
But at this moment, the Spiritual Body moved; its right hand raised the sword to meet the sky, and its other hand thrust the longspear towards Lin Chen’s chest!
One attack, one defense; although not slow, it seemed somewhat rigid to Lin Chen at this moment.
As his body tilted slightly, his clothes fluttered, yet the blade remained unchanged, continuing the downward slice.
With a crisp clash, the sound of metal meeting resonated from half a inch from the Spiritual Body, as two identical swords collided, sparking, slightly singeing the Spiritual Body’s hair with a scorched taste.
Lin Chen missed the attack but simultaneously evaded the spear’s strike, then he didn’t stop, rushing forward a few more steps towards the Spiritual Body.
In his swift movement, Lin Chen’s mind shifted, instantly retrieving the Tianyan Ancient Sword from the ring.
He stepped quickly, already closing in on the Spiritual Body, then swung fiercely towards its side waist!
A cracking sound erupted from the impact.
Even without Spiritual Energy, Lin Chen’s physical strength was considerable; this strike weighed a hundred pounds. From this collision, the Spiritual Body’s figure was sent flying.
As it flew, the Spiritual Body began to dissipate rapidly in mid-air, within moments before reaching the boundary’s edge, it completely vanished, as if it never existed.
Only then did Lin Chen exhale deeply, resolving this trouble, feeling a great sense of relief.
But after this relief, Lin Chen didn’t idle; after accomplishing all this, he turned his head, looking to the side where Chen Jie and Sun Tianming were struggling in combat.
Their Spiritual Energy continuously surged with their attacks, producing bursts of dazzling light with each collision.
This situation was notably dire.
Due to such aggressive tactics, the two Spiritual Bodies before them were full of vitality. Before long, they started using the spiritual techniques of both Sun Tianming and Chen Jie.
Even advancing towards them.
Now, Sun Tianming and Chen Jie were significantly depleted of their Spiritual Energy and struggled to cope, while the Spiritual Body seemed abundant, hardly expending much energy, growing increasingly aggressive, complicating their efforts further.
"Trouble!"
Seeing this situation, Lin Chen also felt troubled, unable to aid them directly from where he was.
After pondering briefly, Lin Chen shouted to the two, "Don’t resist with Spiritual Energy, use your spiritual techniques instead."
This advice wasn’t loudly voiced, but the people present were all masters of high level cultivation, astonishingly perceptive despite being engaged in battle. Upon Lin Chen’s words, they suddenly became enlightened.
Their eyes brightened, instantly holding back their Spiritual Energy.
These individuals had learned numerous spiritual techniques, typically requiring Spiritual Energy infusion for execution, without which they had not tried only using the technique’s form.
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s advice, they began to experiment.
"Hahaha...just as expected!"
Someone laughed heartily, breaking through within moments afterward, panting heavily, his voice filled with an indescribable excitement.
"Thank you, friend." Someone clasped fists towards Lin Chen in gratitude, recognizing their limitations were due to being constrained by conventional methods.
Lin Chen nodded slightly, observing towards Sun Tianming and Chen Jie. With this guidance, Sun Tianming and Chen Jie also responded, gradually improving from their previously exhausted stance as Spiritual Energy dissipated.
"That damned thing!"
The crowd’s joy starkly contrasted with Kong Jingyi’s sinister expression from afar, glaring venomously at Lin Chen, surrounded by others equally hostile.\p>
Among them were those who had advanced earlier; some relied on brute strength, others used clever tactics.
Still, this was vital; crucially, all came for the grand competition, keen to advance their ranking.\p>
Currently, they had opportunities; should anyone fail to notice anomalies among the Spiritual Body’s momentum growing, they’d perish here sooner or later.\p>
Thus, they had many competitors.\p>
But now, the situation pivoted upon Lin Chen’s words, reversing the tide that those who arrived earlier had hesitated to offer any reminders. With Lin Chen’s call, all hopes dissipated, turning into illusions.\p>
How could this not anger them?\p>
Of everyone present, only one exception existed: the figure cloaked in black robes, who after observing Lin Chen’s duel, never looked back again, projecting an air of arrogance.\p>
...
Lin Chen remained oblivious; he had become an eyesore to those earlier individuals, now waiting for Chen Jie and Sun Tianming’s ordeal to complete.
After an extended period, Chen Jie and Sun Tianming finally overcame those Spiritual Bodies, wiping sweat from their foreheads, exhaling deeply.\p>
"Without your warning, we’d likely have been done in by that thing."\p>
Sun Tianming panted heavily while staring at where the Spiritual Body disintegrated, experiencing residual fear, recognizing how Lin Chen’s timely warning prevented him from being crushed by the intensifying attack.\p>
"Let’s go, who knows what’s ahead, be cautious."\p>
Lin Chen waved nonchalantly, speaking these words before proceeding with them, through their respective paths, advancing side by side.\p>
Aside from a few whose strength was already depleted, killed by the Spiritual Body, most had reached the bottom of the stairs.\p>
These individuals, either gazing ahead, or glancing at Lin Chen with smiles, while others glaring at him angrily...
