Chapter 686 - Qualified or Not
“Whether I’m qualified or not, you will know soon,” Ling Chuxi scoffed arrogantly, and suddenly raised her sword and lunged towards Chu Fengyun.
Chu Fengyun sneered and with a light flash of his body, he aimed a slap at Ling Chuxi. Chu Fengyun used all his power in that move, determined to strike Ling Chuxi dead with a single attack and not give her any opening.
At that moment, Ling Chuxi’s body suddenly moved, her hair fluttering behind her. With that seemingly simple side step, she had actually managed to dodge Chu Fengyun’s killing blow.
Before he could recover from his astonishment, he felt a chill in his chest and immediately moved back. There was a rustling sound, and he realized that his robe had a long tear right in front of his chest, clearly from Ling Chuxi’s sword. If he had been just a bit slower, her sword would have surely pierced his heart.
Chu Fengyun was stunned. With Ling Chuxi’s cultivation, how could she have such speed? How could she have dodged his ultimate killing blow?
Before he could recover from his shock, Ling Chuxi swung her sword. The movement seemed ordinary, but if one looked closely, there was a unique rhythm to it.
“Core of Martial Path!” Chu Fengyun gasped as he extended his palms quickly, forcing Ling Chuxi to retreat.
He remembered, many years ago, that he had gone on a journey. Under the guidance of an otherworldly expert, he had managed to cultivate powerful skills, and eventually became the guardian of Ding Lin Country.
It was from that otherworldly expert that he had felt the same special rhythm. According to the words of the expert, it was called the Core of Martial Path.
It was a legend that sounded like a myth, but how could the Core of Martial Path in the realm of True Essence appear in her?
As his mind struggled to process the fact, Ling Chuxi’s sword once again passed between his palms with full force, piercing at the vital part of his heart.
“It is the Core of Martial Path!” Chu Fengyun no longer had any doubts.
Meanwhile, Mo Kongyuan looked delighted. So this was the Core of Martial Path! Who would have thought that the trip to Little Silver Ancient Mountain would actually give Ling Chuxi enlightenment about the Core of Martial Path? She had really gained a blessing from a disaster. Mo Kongyuan’s regrets about not using Breaking Heavens completely disappeared.
Seeing Ling Chuxi’s sword coming towards him yet again, Chu Fengyun could only continuously send out slaps, using the strong True Qi he had cultivated bitterly in his lifetime to block Ling Chuxi’s attacks
Ling Chuxi was also a little helpless. Although she possessed the Core of Martial Path, the strength of her True Qi was still lacking compared to Chu Fengyun. In such a short period of time, she could not use her attacks to break the defense that he had set up with his strong True Qi.
As tyrannical True Qi and the sharp light from a sword flashed on Cloud Watching Peak, the two people fell into a deadlock.
The more Chu Fengyun fought, the more anxious he became. From the way things were going, once Mo Kongyuan recovered and joined Ling Chuxi, victory would no longer be his. Thinking about this, Chu Fengyun suddenly let out an odd cry.
“Be careful, he is controlling a monster beast!” Mo Kongyuan immediately reminded Ling Chuxi. The Blood Contract could not provide a mental connection between Chu Fengyun and the monster beast, but there was surely a special method to control the monster beast that damaged the user’s body. Therefore, Chu Fengyun would not dare to simply control the monster beast.
Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu were initially very happy when they saw Ling Chuxi return, but now they were extremely worried. A monster beast’s terrifying cultivation was one they had experienced, and even Mo Kongyuan had taken a huge loss from this one earlier. Now, Ling Chuxi was about to face such a powerful monster beast, what were they to do?
