Qing Deng condensed this sword glow in his hand, which finally transformed into a complete three foot long sword!
Although there was no cold light flickering, sword qi was ebbing and flowing at the tip of the sword. As Qing Deng casually swept it, a shattering sound echoed in the air, and when it grazed the bluestone slabs on the ground, it left deep marks on the smooth stone surface.
Everyone around watched with rapt attention, and even the ten great guild masters showed expressions of surprise.
“Senior Qing Deng reached the pinnacle of the sword path hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, he has probably long reached a realm we cannot even look up to,” many people exclaimed in awe.
If mere sword qi could leave deep marks on the stone slabs, the power of the sword in his hand was probably beyond imagination.
The key point was that the sword in his hand was entirely formed from sword qi!
“Senior Qing Deng is right. This is the orthodox Xuanmen sorcery!”
“How can it be compared to the unorthodox ways of that Luo Wuji?”
“Senior Qing Deng is truly worthy of the title of a generation’s sword immortal!” many people praised in succession.
Qing Deng then spoke to Luo Chen with an arrogant air.
“Come. Today, I will let you see how pathetic your superpower is beneath my sword intent!”
Qing Deng naturally knew that Luo Chen could use superpowers.
But in his eyes, that little bit of superpower was simply child’s play.
After all, his sword path techniques were unparalleled in the world!
However, Luo Chen shook his head.
“Sword immortal?” Luo Chen sneered.
“I am unorthodox?”
“With your level, to be honest, if we are only talking about the sword path, I can defeat you without even using my superpower!”
As soon as these words left Luo Chen’s mouth, the surroundings suddenly fell completely silent.
“Nonsense!” one of the nine guild masters shook his head and sneered.
“This Luo Wuji knows nothing, yet he dares to be so boastful!”
The other guild masters, including Lu Heshan, looked at the person who spoke. To be honest, they did not quite understand either.
“To condense sword qi into a long sword, one must comprehend sword intent!”
“This is the supreme ultimate technique of the Kunlun Sword Palace. Senior Qing Deng can already transform sword qi into a long sword, so he naturally comprehended sword intent long ago!” that person explained slowly.
“And with sword intent, one has truly stepped onto the path of sword cultivation!”
“As the saying goes, experts look at the method, while laymen just watch the spectacle. That Luo Wuji does not even understand this, and probably does not even know what sword intent is. Does this not prove Senior Qing Deng’s words?”
“Unorthodox ways!”
“Luo Wuji, you are truly on the verge of death and still dare to be so boastful!” Elder Jin shouted coldly from the side.
He had judged countless duels, so he was naturally well informed!
“I cannot be bothered to waste my breath on your unorthodox ways!” Qing Deng said arrogantly.
He had indeed comprehended sword intent, making him a true sword cultivator, and his sword path had already reached a divine level!
“I said, to defeat you, I really do not need my superpower.”
“Sword path?” Luo Chen sneered.
He then used his superpower and casually grabbed. Instantly, a branch on a distant large tree was snapped mid air by Luo Chen’s superpower and shot directly into his hand.
Luo Chen then directly withdrew his superpower!
“Does he really dare to withdraw his superpower?”
“And he wants to fight Qing Deng with a tree branch?”
Many people were instantly stunned upon seeing this scene.
Arrogant! This was truly arrogance without limits!
How terrifying were Qing Deng’s sword path attainments?
He had even slain a thousand year old white snake spirit!
Now, not only had Luo Wuji withdrawn his superpower, but he also wanted to use a tree branch to fight against the other’s most skilled sword path?
Let alone withdrawing his superpower and holding a tree branch. Even Zhang Zhichu, sitting in the pavilion, probably would not dare to take up a sword and duel Qing Deng!
“This is truly too arrogant. Even if my master, the old heavenly master, were here in person, he would not dare to do this, right?” Even Lu Heshan felt Luo Chen was being too arrogant.
“Hahaha, good, very good!” Seeing this scene from Luo Chen, Qing Deng did not get angry but laughed instead!
He said Luo Chen was unorthodox, and as a result, Luo Chen took a tree branch to humiliate him!
But he could humiliate Luo Chen because he had the strength to do so!
However, the price for Luo Chen to humiliate him would be death!
“Ignorant child, today I will definitely skin you, pull your tendons, crush your bones, and scatter your ashes!” Qing Deng’s expression turned extremely gloomy.
He raised his hand, and a beam of sword qi shot out like a streak of light.
This sword qi was immensely powerful, even producing a sound of tearing through the air!
However, Luo Chen stood in place, did not even glance at the sword qi, pivoted on his feet, and turned his body at a strange angle to dodge the sword qi.
Subsequently, his entire body leapt up, with the tree branch held behind his back, and he pounced towards Qing Deng.
“This Luo Wuji’s martial arts attainments have indeed reached the pinnacle,” many people sighed.
Because the move Luo Chen just used to dodge the sword qi belonged to the realm of martial arts mastery.
To be fair, there were truly very few people present who could have dodged that strike just now!
“But this is the cultivation world. No matter how formidable his martial arts attainments are, it is impossible for him to defeat Senior Qing Deng with a tree branch!”
And just at the moment Luo Chen pounced towards Qing Deng, a trace of mockery appeared at the corner of Qing Deng’s mouth as he spoke.
“Unorthodox ways are just unorthodox ways. When making a move, it is always at close range.”
“Fine, I will grant your wish!”
As Qing Deng spoke, he suddenly released his five fingers. The long sword formed by sword qi hummed in his hand, spinning continuously.
As Luo Chen closed in, he thrust forward with lightning speed.
At the same time, the crowd let out a gasp of shock!
Because the sword qi that Luo Chen had just dodged actually curved back and appeared behind him.
Attacked from the front and back!
Obviously, it was already too late to dodge!
“This is sorcery. How could you possibly understand it?” Qing Deng smiled coldly.
However, just as Qing Deng finished speaking, the tree branch held behind Luo Chen’s back lifted slightly.
It tapped directly onto the sword qi behind him. That sword qi seemed to instantly stick to the tree branch, changed direction with a pull from Luo Chen, and then collided with the long sword thrusting from the front by Qing Deng!
“Bang!” A fierce sound of tearing through the air exploded!
Qing Deng’s own sword qi and his sword intent long sword collided with each other.
“How is this possible?”
“That sword qi, let alone a tree branch, would instantly shatter even a precious sword upon contact!”
Others did not know, but Qing Deng’s pupils constricted.
“No, this is sword intent?” Qing Deng roared!
Because only sword intent could achieve this!
Otherwise, that tree branch would have been shattered long ago.
However, just as Qing Deng revealed a look of horror and wanted to pull away.
It was already too late, because he could only see a sneer at the corner of Luo Chen’s mouth, and then that tree branch traced a graceful and strange arc in the air!
Subsequently, that tree branch tapped onto Qing Deng’s shoulder with lightning speed!
“Bang!”
Qing Deng’s entire body was shot directly backwards, and a bloody hole appeared on his shoulder!
“Bang!”
Qing Deng crashed heavily onto the edge of the square!
One exchange!
One could even say one move.
Qing Deng had actually been defeated!
