People stared at Mu Qingyun in shock. This sword strike shook the heavens and earth, changing the color of heaven and earth. The experts present were all terrified; none of them had ever seen such a terrifying sword strike in their lives.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the void trembled. The arena vanished, and Mu Qingyun appeared beside Long Chen. At this moment, Mu Qingyun's face was somewhat pale. People were shocked to find that Mu Qingyun's fluctuations had become extremely weak.
In other words, Mu Qingyun's sword just now had actually exhausted all his power.
You have to know, this goes against cultivation norms. Usually, a person's strength must be split into multiple rounds before it can be gradually depleted.
If the output force exceeds 30% of the body's total at once, the body will endure a tremendous backlash. At best, the meridians will split; in severe cases, the body will explode instantly.
It's like a person holding a large hammer to strike stones—the more force you use, the greater the recoil. That's why craftsmen use hammers, and the handles are all made of cork to counteract part of the recoil.
Usually, a cultivator can use half their power in a single strike, and only soft weapons can do this, without injuring the master.
But soft weapons are too hard to control; one wrong move and you could die at your own hands.
But even with soft weapons, half the power is the limit. These disciples had never heard of anyone unleashing all their power in a single strike.
For a moment, people stared at Mu Qingyun in shock; they could hardly believe their eyes.
Mu Qingyun walked up to Long Chen. Although his face was pale, his eyes were full of excitement: "
Third Brother, I did it."
Long Chen smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "That's right. Unfortunately, your control is still insufficient. Your communication with the sword still has certain flaws, so you can't achieve synchronized resonance."
If your spiritual fluctuations could match the longsword, the power of the strike wouldn't leak out, and the arena wouldn't collapse. Instead, the formation would be split in two by a single sword. As
soon as Long Chen spoke, everyone present was stunned. Mu Qingyun's terrifying sword strike actually had some flaws in Long Chen's eyes.
"Sister Qingyun is so powerful, doesn't that mean she could break into the top ten of the Earth Ranking?" Zhong Ling supported Mu Qingyun, her little face full of excitement.
Long Chen chuckled and shook his head, saying, "This move is basically useless. On a real battlefield, it's useless."
Where are you going to find idiots like Gu Zhen to cooperate with you? In a life-or-death battle, who would quietly let you charge up?
So, aside from being useful against Gu Zhen, this move is completely useless against others.
Gu Zhen, that idiot, deliberately used curses to humiliate you. You shut down your six senses, but he didn't know.
Your body resonates with the sword, and he thinks you're trembling with anger, ultimately dying from his own foolishness. After
Long Chen finished speaking, everyone present suddenly understood. Not only had Gu Zhen been deceived, but they themselves had too. Like Gu Zhen, they thought Mu Qingyun's trembling was from anger.
"People are foolish because they don't know how to respect others. So don't bully others, because some people, once they make a move, won't even give you a chance to kneel and beg for mercy."
As Long Chen spoke, his eyes fell on the gloomy Longyan Sect. His capable subordinate had actually been slain by Mu Qingyun with a single sword strike.
But Mu Qingyun's sword strike was truly terrifying and terrifying. If that sword had come at him, he wasn't sure if he could withstand it.
Long Chen suddenly looked at Chu Kuang in the crowd, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said calmly, "
Chu Kuang, you're cunning enough to know how to use idiots. Even idiots in the academy are willing to be used by you, while you hide in the shadows, reaping the benefits. Can't you show your tricks openly?" If you use underhanded tricks behind your back, it's unsatisfactory and looks down upon. "
You are judging a gentleman with a petty heart. Your grudge with Rongtian Valley is well known. Your reckless slander seems to be a bit of a petty person." Chu Yang smiled faintly, speaking dismissively.
"I always looked down on you, and now I look down on you even more. Even after doing it, you don't dare admit it. Does your Chu family not even have any backbone?" After Long Chen finished speaking, he ignored Chu Yang and directly said to the Longyan Sect:
"You're very lucky. My original goal was to kill everyone in Rongtian Valley, but it seems heaven is helping you, and I didn't succeed."
Since I can't wipe you out completely, I can only settle for killing Gu Zhen—at least to teach a lesson.
I know there are still many idiotics in the academy. If you want to keep playing with me, Long Sanye, I'm always ready to accompany you.
However, Master Long only likes to play big games; small squabbles are boring. If you find the cultivation path too dull and want to reincarnate early, you're welcome to keep provoking him.
Master Long San, together with all members of the Xiaoyao Alliance and Luo Sect, dedicates twelve hours a day to serve you wholeheartedly. After
saying this, Long Chen turned and left with Luo Bing, Mu Qingyun, and the others. Long Chen's arrogant and domineering words echoed in the air, lingering for a long time.
"Long Chen, isn't there still a battle between us? Is this what you call escaping? "Longyan Sect saw Long Chen about to leave and shouted angrily.
Today, the deputy valley master of Melting Sky Valley was slain by a man named Mu Qingyun, who had no fame at all. Melting Sky Valley was like a harsh slap in the face. If it just let it go, the hearts of the people in Melting Heaven Valley would surely collapse.
Now, to restore their reputation, Longyan Sect must defeat Long Chen. So, Long Chen wanted to leave, and Longyan Sect stepped forward.
"Are you an idiot? Or is he out of his mind? Third Master already said you're not qualified to fight him. Unless Gu Zhen can withstand three moves, then the second fight will begin.
If you're not convinced, go to the underworld, drag Gu Zhen back, and let him fight again? Long Chen said nothing, and Li Cai responded disdainfully.
Long Chen had indeed said this before. In fact, Long Chen had already planned it out. No matter how powerful Gu Zhen was, he could not escape the fate of being destroyed with a single sword. He used himself as bait, just to lure Gu Zhen out and kill him.
But to kill Longyan Sect, in front of so many people, trying to kill the third-ranked Longyan Sect in three moves would definitely expose his trump card. Long Chen wasn't that foolish.
"Long Chen, are you scared? I can skip that three-move agreement and have a fair fight. "Longyan Sect shouted loudly.
For a moment, everyone looked at Long Chen, their eyes full of anticipation. They said Long Chen's combat power was terrifying, but after entering the inner courtyard, he seemed never to truly display his power.
Even Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen. Last time, Long Chen had schemed to kill that Explosive Flame Demon Crocodile, which was a complete trick and didn't show his true strength. Even she was curious about Long Chen's true power.
Because there were only two people inside the academy's inner gate, she couldn't figure it out. Now that Long Chen had joined the group, she wanted to see just how strong Long Chen really was.
"If you think I'm scared, then just pretend I'm scared. You can keep provoking me.
And I also look forward to a bloody battle with your Melting Sky Valley guilds. Without looking back, Long Chen left with his men. However, his words sent chills down everyone's spine, and the disciples of Melting Heaven Valley were even more terrified, unable to hide the fear in their eyes.
