Chapter 428 The Battle Begins
Li Yan seemed to sense Yun Chen's gaze and slowly opened his eyes.
It was pitch black and deep, like two deep ancient wells, without any ripples, yet faintly revealed a cold evil aura tempered by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
His gaze fell on Yun Chen, without any contempt or respect, as if he was looking at a stone or a leaf, so calm that it was heart-wrenching.
"Shenlei Palace, Yunchen?" Li Yan spoke, his voice like the friction between metal and iron, with a harsh texture.
"it's me."
Yun Chen responded calmly, the spiritual power in his body quietly circulated, and the Nine Dragons Qi lay dormant in his meridians, waiting to be released.
Facing such an opponent who had fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses, he dared not be careless at all.
"I've heard of you, Nine Thunder Initiation."
Li Yan's tone remained calm: "I hope you won't let me down. My sword won't kill nameless people, but it won't spare the lives of useless people either."
These words were said in an extremely domineering manner, as if victory or defeat had already been decided, life or death had already been determined.
When the people in the audience heard this, many of them gasped. It turned out that Li Yan was just as the rumors said, ruthless and ruthless.
Yun Chen smiled, a smile that held a hint of arrogance: "Coincidentally, my fists are also good at dealing with all kinds of disobedience. As for who is useless, you'll know after a fight."
"very good."
Li Yan said no more, but slowly raised his right hand and pressed it on the hilt of the sword behind him.
The moment his fingers touched the hilt of the sword, an extremely terrifying and sharp sword intent burst out!
It was no longer the restrained edge from before, but like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, the cold murderous intent mixed with the condensed sword energy, sweeping out from him to the surroundings, and the protective light shield at the edge of the ring made a slight buzzing sound!
"Qiang——!"
A clear sword sound resounded through the sky, and the long sword behind Li Yan was suddenly unsheathed!
The sword body is long and narrow, emitting a cold light. On the sword spine, there are faint dark red lines flowing, which are the marks of evil spirit left by years of drinking blood!
There was no complicated opening move, no earth-shaking momentum. Li Yan simply took a step forward and thrust out with the sword in his hand!
This sword, fast!
As fast as lightning, as quick as a startled wild goose!
The sword flashed, as if breaking through the limitations of space, and instantly reached Yun Chen's chest!
Before the fierce sword energy reached his body, the cold and sharp power had already pierced Yun Chen's skin and caused pain!
There was an exclamation from the audience!
Many disciples with lower cultivation levels couldn't even see how Li Yan drew his sword!
However, facing this lightning-fast sword, Yun Chen's eyes suddenly lit up!
He did not choose to take it head-on, instead he activated his Phantom Steps instantly, his figure drifting backward like a ghost, while his body tilted slightly at an incredible angle!
"Hey!"
The sharp sword energy brushed past the corner of Yun Chen's clothes, cutting a long and thin hole in his clothes at the waist, but failed to hurt him at all!
"Huh?" A hint of surprise finally flashed across Li Yan's calm eyes.
His sword seemed simple, but in fact it contained many variations, blocking most of the opponent's evasion routes. He did not expect that the opponent could dodge with such a strange body movement.
The attack missed, but Li Yan did not retract his sword. He shook his wrist, and the long and narrow sword body twisted like a poisonous snake, drawing a strange arc and wiping towards Yun Chen's throat again!
The speed of the changes and the smoothness of the connections are breathtaking!
Yun Chen's eyes were focused. He could feel the unwavering will to forge ahead and destroy everything in the other party's swordsmanship.
This is definitely not an ordinary sword technique, but a real killing skill!
He stopped dodging and the pale golden Nine Dragon Qi instantly condensed on his right fist, with a faint dragon roar.
He didn't dodge or evade, but punched out fiercely, hitting the incoming sword directly!
Fight a sharp sword with bare fists?
The people in the audience were stunned!
"Looking for death!" Seeing this from the audience, Lu Beiyou's eyes flashed with satisfaction, as if he had already seen the bloody scene of Yun Chen's fist being cut off.
however--
"boom!"
When the fist and sword collided, the sound produced was not the sound of metal clashing, but a dull bang like thunder!
A visible air wave spread out from the point where the two men fought, causing the light shield of the arena to shake violently!
Yun Chen only felt an extremely sharp force with a heavy murderous aura coming along his arm, causing his blood to surge. He involuntarily took half a step back. He felt a sharp pain in his fist. Looking down, he saw that the sword energy had left a shallow white mark on the joint of his finger, and blood was faintly oozing out.
Li Yan also swayed slightly and slid back half a step. For the first time, he looked at Yun Chen with a look of genuine solemnity.
The long sword in his hand was trembling slightly. At that moment, he felt as if he was not cutting on a flesh and blood body, but hitting an indestructible piece of divine gold!
The ancient, domineering, and vital energy in the opponent's fist subtly restrained his murderous sword intent!
"What a strong body! What a strange true energy!" Li Yan felt awe in his heart.
There was silence in the audience.
Everyone was stunned by this head-on blow.
With the cultivation level of the late Jindan stage, he took on the killing sword of Li Yan, who was ranked tenth on the Taoist Alliance Genius List, and was only slightly at a disadvantage?
Even... it pushed Li Yan back half a step?
What kind of monster is this Yun Chen?
Liu Yanran and Zhao Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but their palms were still full of sweat.
Shen Nan's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Junior Brother's body and true energy are stronger than we imagined!"
On the high platform, several big men had different expressions.
Master Yu Shu let out a soft "Huh," with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Elder Lei Tong's tense expression relaxed slightly.
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Fairy Bi Bo.
The corners of Elder Ling Shuang's cold mouth seemed to move slightly.
Leng Hanyue still had no expression on her face, but her clenched hands loosened slightly.
Lu Beiyou's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. He stared at Yun Chen on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief and even stronger jealousy and murderous intent.
On the ring, Yun Chen shook his numb fist, looked at Li Yan across from him, and grinned, revealing his white teeth:
"The strength is good, but unfortunately, it's still a little short of perfection."
"Warm-up is over, now it's my turn!"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Chen took the initiative to attack!
He stepped on the Phantom Step, and his body turned into a trail of afterimages, sticking close to Li Yan like a thorn in his flesh.
Above his fists, light golden dragon-shaped energy was wrapped around, with a domineering will to tear everything apart, bombarding Li Yan's vital points like a violent storm.
