"Slash!"
Li Chen's wrist trembled violently as he swung his sword, and the Seven Star Longyuan in his hand transformed into a long rainbow that pierced through the heavens and earth, striking toward Jian Wuheng.
Jian Wuheng saw that Li Chen took a sword from him forcibly and remained unscathed, causing a wave of shock in his heart.
Seeing the Longyuan Sword Rainbow slash over, he suddenly turned his body sideways, gathering a tornado around him, with sword shadows swirling, forming an indestructible defensive barrier.
"Insight!"
Li Chen's pupils slightly contracted, emitting a brilliant light as he scanned Jian Wuheng's Sword Gang Hurricane, searching for its weaknesses.
Soon, he noticed a few spots flickering unsteadily. Evidently, some parts were not very stable.
Perceiving these, a smug smile appeared at the corner of Li Chen's mouth. The Seven Star Longyuan in his hand transformed into a Divine Dragon, dozens of feet long, coiling around the Gang wind in reverse.
"Break for me!"
Li Chen pointed with his finger, shooting out a brilliant light, enveloping those spots.
"Roar!"
The Dragon Soul obeyed Li Chen's command and immediately roared toward the sky, launching a fierce assault on the spots.
"Boom!"
After a brief stalemate, Jian Wuheng's Gang Wind Defense finally buckled under the pressure, shattering with a crash under the continuous impact of the Dragon Soul.
Just as the Dragon Soul was about to pierce through Jian Wuheng's body, a blue-red sword rainbow suddenly struck across the heavens and earth, forcibly blocking the Dragon Soul.
Seeing this sword rainbow, everyone's expression changed immediately.
Ling Yunlong exclaimed in surprise: "The Dragon Slayer Sword?"
Immediately, the eyes of these leaders subconsciously turned to Jian Chen.
Compared to his earlier smugness, Jian Chen now felt somewhat embarrassed.
He coughed lightly twice and said awkwardly: "Ahem, perhaps you all are not aware that before we came, the elders of our Heavenly Sword Mountain unanimously decided that Wuheng should succeed as the next Sect Leader. This Dragon Slayer Sword is of no use to me, so I handed it over to Wuheng to slay demons and uphold justice in the Human World!"
Hearing Jian Chen's "righteous" explanation, the expressions of the leaders remained complex and unfixed.
The Dragon Slayer Sword is one of the thirty-three Divine Weapons in the Cultivation Realm, ranked seventh. It is the Magic Sword of the founder of Heavenly Sword Mountain, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor.
Back then, this Heavenly Sword Ancestor once wielded this sword to slay a Jiao Long in the Barbaric lands, earning the name Dragon Slayer Sword.
Ever since, this Dragon Slayer Sword has been the Sect Leader Token passed down in Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Who would have thought that Jian Wuheng would bring such a Divine Weapon to the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition? The intentions of Heavenly Sword Mountain are now obvious.
"Hehe, it seems your Heavenly Sword Mountain is determined to win the championship in this Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition!"
Master of Azure Water Palace chuckled coldly, full of ridicule in her words.
Although there is no explicit rule in the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition prohibiting the use of top-level Divine Weapons, it has been an unwritten rule for thousands of years.
Otherwise, each Heavenly Extreme Sect and Super Family would lend their most powerful Magical Treasures to their Heavenly Pride disciples.
This is not because doing so would be unfair to ordinary sects and Loose Cultivators. After all, in this emotionless Immortal Path, where the strong prey on the weak, there is no talk of fairness—only strength is the hard truth.
The real reason why these top leaders reached this unwritten agreement is the fear that the overwhelming power of these Divine Weapons, once a disciple loses control and fails to hold back, could easily lead to the death of an opponent or even backlash, harming others and oneself.
But now, Jian Wuheng suddenly unleashing their Heavenly Sword Sect's Mountain Suppressing Divine Weapon, the Dragon Slayer Sword, clearly broke the rules.
However, since these rules are not explicitly written, and since Jian Wuheng is confronting a Loose Cultivator, Li Chen, and not their own disciples,
these leaders see no need to risk breaking rapport with Heavenly Sword Mountain by expressing their protest.
Suddenly, many leaders at the scene look at Li Chen, the Loose Cultivator, with sympathy and regret in their eyes.
With the Dragon Slayer Sword out, his defeat is inevitable.
And from the current situation, once he is defeated, neither Jian Wuheng nor Heavenly Sword Mountain will let the tiger return to the mountain.
Seeing the Dragon Slayer Sword, Li Chen's expression also became slightly solemn.
However, his expression was only somewhat solemn.
A Divine Weapon of good quality cannot stop him.
"Li Chen, the sword in my hand is named Dragon Slayer, the Mountain Suppressing Divine Weapon of our Heavenly Sword Mountain. To fall under such a Divine Weapon is enough for you to take pride in!"
Before the icy-cold voice fell, Jian Wuheng swung the Dragon Slayer Sword forcefully. The brilliance surged, and vaguely it seemed two blue and red Jiao Longs entwined and danced with each other.
When these blue and red Jiao Longs passed through the clouds, they suddenly merged into one. The blue and red light exploded, causing the entire sky to appear bizarre and distorted.
"Heavenly Sword Nine Forms, the second sword, Breaking Army Slash!"
This sword can break a thousand armies!
Without speaking, Li Chen brushed the blade with his palm, using Essence Blood to nourish the Dragon Soul.
"Roar!"
Nourished by Li Chen's Essence Blood, the Dragon Soul raised its head fiercely, roaring toward the sky.
Suddenly, a fiery red Divine Dragon soared into the sky. In mid-air, it collided violently with Jian Wuheng's blue and red Sword Light.
"Clang!"
After this clash, both Li Chen and Jian Wuheng's figures exploded backward simultaneously.
Seeing this scene, no matter the Sect Leaders or the observing disciples, all felt a wave of shock in their hearts.
None of them could have expected that Li Chen could withstand two of Jian Wuheng's sword strikes without losing; it was simply inconceivable.
"It seems this Li Chen indeed has some means. Sect Leader Jian Chen, what do you think?"
Master of Azure Water Palace asked Jian Chen with a half-smile.
Jian Chen's old face couldn't hold its dignity and looked grim and frightening.
Jian Wuheng resorting to unveiling the Mountain Suppressing Divine Weapon, the Dragon Slayer Sword, yet still unable to take down a Loose Cultivator, was an immense disgrace for Heavenly Sword Mountain.
If they cannot quickly defeat Li Chen, the prestige of the entire Heavenly Sword Mountain will likely suffer greatly as a result. By then, trying to replace Penglai Pavilion and become the overlord of the entire Cultivation Realm will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Jian Chen was anxious, and Jian Wuheng was even more eager.
At this moment, he was more eager than anyone present to defeat Li Chen, using the opponent's blood to make a name for himself.
But who knew, this Loose Cultivator, Li Chen, was like an indestructible cockroach, leaving him utterly at a loss for what to do.
Moreover, Jian Wuheng keenly noticed that the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand seemed somewhat intimidated by the Divine Weapon in Li Chen's hand.
Such a reaction would only occur with a rank suppression.
Could it be that the Divine Weapon in Li Chen's hand is a level higher than his own Dragon Slayer Sword?
No, that's impossible.
This Dragon Slayer Sword is the Lifebound Magical Treasure of the Heavenly Sword Ancestor, the Mountain Suppressing Divine Weapon of Heavenly Sword Mountain. How could it be weaker than a Magic Sword held by a rural Loose Cultivator?
Thinking of this, Jian Wuheng, whose thoughts were in turmoil, shouted into the air and raised the Dragon Slayer Sword fiercely.
Suddenly, a great brilliance shone around him, like an eagle soaring into the sky straight to the firmament, shaking the void and making souls tremble.
This time, Jian Wuheng didn't proceed in an orderly manner to wield the Heavenly Sword Nine Forms' third sword. Instead, he directly used the more terrifying last three swords.
The seventh sword: Earth Splitting Slash!
With this slash, the entire mountain cracked in an instant, as if struck by a sudden magnitude 8.0 earthquake.
Deep and unfathomable chasms opened on the ground, meandering toward Li Chen...
