Chapter 2303: Fighting Qing Shan (Two)
Even though the formation had weakened the ripples of energy, making them become next to nothing, they were still extremely terrifying to Donglin Yanxue who was only equivalent to a Deity.
Blood sprayed from Donglin Yanxue’s mouth as she immediately became sheet-white. She was heavily injured. At the same time, her soul fell under the influence of Marital Soul Force. Extremely weak slivers of Marital Soul Force had wormed into her soul, heavily damaged it.
Donglin Yanxue only felt intense pain from her head all of a sudden. In the next moment, she fell unconscious and fainted.
“Actually still alive!” With a cold face, Qing Shan had already extended his finger a second time. A powerful beam of energy was emitted once again, shooting towards Donglin Yanxue with enough power to distort space.
Jian Chen paid attention to Donglin Yanxue’s situation at all times. The moment she collapsed, he used a hand to pull her in. His eyes immediately lit up when he saw that she had fainted.
At the same time, space distorted slightly as a powerful pulse of energy surged in. Qing Shan’s second attack shot over with lightning speed.
Jian Chen did not even glance at Qing Shan’s second attack. He held Donglin Yanxue close to him with one hand and directed his back towards Qing Shan with a swirl, protecting Donglin Yanxue. At the same time, his right extended backwards.
Immediately, sharp Laws of the Sword descended, instantly gathering at the Jian Chen’s fingertip. It suddenly shot out as a resplendent streak of sword Qi.
The sword Qi only seemed to be the size of a finger, but it was extremely powerful. As it ripped through the air, it produced a shrill whistle. The space around it distorted heavily. Cracks in space seemed to appear.
Jian Chen finally had the chance to fight now that Donglin Yanxue was unconscious and the Radiant Godkings had fled!
The sharp sword Qi collided with the beam of energy that bore Martial Soul Force, erupting with a great boom. When the two different laws collided, they both shattered and surged out into the surroundings with a powerful shockwave.
Their attacks were terrifying, completely exceeding the level of Godking. The earth cracked, and space distorted. The entire region had almost collapsed.
Jian Chen used his body to shield the unconscious Donglin Yanxue. Under the circulation of Chaotic Force, he had already pushed his defences to the limit. As if his feet were rooted in the ground, he stood firmly under the impact of the shockwave. He did not move at all.
On the other side, Qing Shan hovered in the air as an invisible power permeated before him, preventing the incoming shockwave from getting anywhere near him.
At that moment, his eyes shone with dazzling light. He stared right at Jian Chen in shock, surprise, and disbelief. He could not help but cry out, “Laws of the Sword!”
Qing Shan had already discovered Jian Chen from very far away, but at the time, Jian Chen only seemed to possess a one-colored soulcore, so Qing Shan did not take him seriously.
However, now that Jian Chen, who clearly seemed like a Radiant Saint Master in Qing Shan’s eyes, had suddenly demonstrated power from the Laws of the Sword, Qing Shan finally began to take notice of him.
Qing Shan’s eyes shone brightly as he stared right at Jian Chen. The light in his eyes changed rapidly.
Jian Chen also turned around slowly and stared at Qing Shan calmly.
But very soon, he felt slightly surprised. He found Qing Shan’s gaze to be rather strange. It confused him slightly.
He did not sense any killing intent from Qing Shan’s gaze at all. Instead, he saw slivers of joy and excitement from his gaze that rapidly changed between emotions.
“Did the senses of the soul earlier come from you?” Qing Shan asked after staring at Jian Chen for a while.
“That’s right!” Jian Chen stared at Qing Shan with composure and asked, “Do you want to kill Donglin Yanxue?”
“My intentions for coming to the World of Moon and Star is to kill all five candidates and all the protectors so that the Radiant Saint Hall will go without a Chosen Saint,” Qing Shan calmed down again; he looked at Jian Chen deeply as he said seriously.
“Then you must be disappointed because you can’t kill Donglin Yanxue,” Jian Chen said calmly.
Qing Shan frowned. He glared at Jian Chen and growled, “You want to protect her? You’re not weak, but you’re not at the Primordial realm. Do you think you have the capability?”
“I do!”
“Very well! Demonstrate to me just how great your abilities are!” Qing Shan called out as his presence skyrocketed. It caused the clouds to churn as wind blew. The entire region of space twisted.
Jian Chen’s gaze gradually became piercing. He lowered his head to glance at the unconscious Donglin Yanxue in his arms. Currently, blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth. With a thought, the Laws of Space surrounded Donglin Yanxue, sending her away.
“The Laws of Space!” Qing Shan exclaimed. A strange gleam of light flashed through his gaze towards Jian Chen. He could clearly sense that Donglin Yanxue had been sent to a mountain several hundred kilometres away with the Laws of Space.
The mountain originally belonged to a pangolin that possessed the strength of an early Overgod. However, the pangolin was killed by a blade of space that suddenly appeared the moment Donglin Yanxue was sent there.
Jian Chen struck out firmly after sending Donglin Yanxue to somewhere safe. He attacked Qing Shan.
In that instance, supreme sword intent radiated from him. It seemed to gather in from all directions while Jian Chen seemed to have become an ultimate sword that stood in the world.
Afterwards, he shone with blinding light. With sword intent powerful enough to make space tremble, he stabbed towards Qing Shan.
This was the first time Jian Chen had truly fought after his soul fused with the strand of Chaotic Force!
His strike this time was utterly astonishing. As sword Qi pierced through the air, space was ripped open, forming black cracks of various sizes. The cold sword Qi immediately reduced the vegetation in the surroundings to powder and the rocks to dust. Even the ground below had fragments sliced off by sword Qi, causing it to sink.
Although Jian Chen’s comprehension of the Laws of the Sword was still at the great perfection of Sword Spirit, his battle prowess had increased by far too much.
Moreover, Jian Chen could clearly sense that ever since his soul changed, not only was he able to control Radiant Saint Force as he wished, but even his control over the Laws of the Sword had increased greatly. As a result, his affinity with the Laws of the Sword had reached an extremely high level.
Qing Shan became stern. He bellowed out, and a terrifying energy rumbled within him. All of it gathered in his right hand. Using a finger as his sword, he swung down with extremely dense Martial Soul Force.
In that instance, time seemed to slow down. Qing Shan’s finger contained the profound mysteries of ways, causing it to seemingly interfere with the flow of time, making it seem abnormally slow.
