Chapter 235 - Great War on Zhong TaicangAs a Sect Master of the Heavy Sword Sect, with a cultivation at the middle stage of the Origin Stage and fifty percent of the origin power, Zhong Taicang"s strength could not be underestimated. Furthermore, he cultivated a complete version of the Darksteel Sword Art, which was naturally different from those elders. Regardless of realm or sword technique, he was much stronger than the elders that Ling Dao had killed.
Just a casual swing of the sword caused Ling Dao"s expression to turn serious. As expected, Middle stage Source Realm martial artist s could not be compared to air defence Warriors. A ninth rank force was more powerful than a tenth rank force. The most important reason was that a ninth rank force had Origin Stage Warrior s.
One must know, Zhong Taicang"s sword strike, without even using his origin power, was already this terrifying. If he was allowed to block the sword, then there would only be one outcome, and that would be him being killed by the black iron sword.The Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple s present were all so scared that their faces turned white. Even if they were to join forces, they definitely wouldn"t be able to block this sword. Before, they had even thought of joining hands to block Zhong Taicang, but now, it seemed that it was all just a joke.
"Is this the Origin Stage Warrior? Isn"t it too strong? "
"Not to mention us Rushing Sky Realm disciple s, even if the sect master and vice sect master were to come, it would still be of no use, right?"
Vice Sect Master Xie Yongan"s brows were already starting to deeply wrinkle. With Zhong Taicang in the middle stage of the Origin Stage, if he wanted to kill them, it would definitely not be a difficult task. He definitely would not believe that Ling Dao could stop Zhong Taicang.
After truly witnessing Zhong Taicang"s strength, Xie Yongan finally understood how terrifying the Origin Stage Warrior was. Even if it was ten of him, he would definitely not be able to stop Zhong Taicang. The difference in strength between them was like heaven and earth. In the face of such a huge gap, numbers were useless.
"Rushing Thunder Shadowless Sword!"Ling Dao proudly stood in the center of the arena, still maintaining his incomparable calmness. In the eyes of others, this extremely terrifying sword strike was nothing. Right now, only the Origin Stage Warrior was able to be his opponent, so what was there to be afraid of about a middle stage Origin Stage?
It was true that Ling Dao did not dare to be careless when fighting Zhong Taicang, but he did not take out the Carefree Sword or the broken Human Emperor Sword. He was just planning to use the Heavenly Thunder Sword to fight with Zhong Taicang. Even though he did not have any confidence in winning, he believed that Zhong Taicang would not be able to kill him.
boom rumble rumble *Above Ling Dao"s head, a sea of thunder appeared. Lightning surged and thunder rumbled. The Heavenly Thunder Sword"s speed was unbelievably fast, in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived beside Zhong Taicang. The Darksteel Sword Art relied on its power, using its absolute power to sweep through everything, using the simplest of moves, to break through all the exquisite sword techniques.
This was not his first time fighting with a person from the Heavy Sword Sect, so when he fought with Zhong Taicang, he naturally would not use any exquisite sword techniques. Right now he was using the Rushing Thunder Shadowless Sword because of his absolute speed. Zhong Taicang used a large black iron sword, so his speed naturally couldn"t be compared to Yun Che"s.
As a Middle stage Source Realm martial artist, Zhong Taicang"s power was naturally not limited to just ten young dragons. If they were merely in terms of pure strength, the current Ling Dao was simply unable to match up to him. But after being combined with Ling Dao"s speed, the Heavenly Thunder Sword also erupted with extremely strong power.Ling Dao had cultivated in Sky Cracking Sword Art before, so his sword techniques had a sense of sharpness to them. The Heavenly Thunder Sword was like an supreme divine sword that could not be broken, even Zhong Taicang could feel the sharpness of the Heavenly Thunder Sword, and it gave him a headache.
"Ah!"
The Heavenly Thunder Sword and the black iron sword slashed each other, sparks flying everywhere and the sky changing color. Zhong Taicang was stronger, his speed was faster, his strength and speed, they had each gained an advantage in this aspect. As for the two swords, they continued to clash against each other, causing the air around them to tremble.
In Zhong Taicang"s hands, the Darksteel Sword Art was indeed much more powerful than those elders. The heavy sword had no edge, and it was a work of art. Every time Zhong Taicang brandished the sword, it looked extremely ordinary, as though he was a child training with the sword. However, every sword strike of his was extremely powerful, so much so that even Ling Dao had to be careful.
A heavy sword with no edge, a great skill but no skill. The sword techniques of the elders were simply unable to explain these words. Zhong Taicang"s sword, on the other hand, possessed such charm. As the Patriarch of the Heavy Sword Sect, Zhong Taicang"s Darksteel Sword Art was naturally not bad. In the entire Heavy Sword Sect, his Darksteel Sword Art could rank in the top three.
If Zhong Taicang"s opponent was only an ordinary sword cultivator, then his Darksteel Sword Art would definitely be able to completely suppress his opponent. But Ling Dao"s sword arts were even more exquisite, his control over the battle especially, had far surpa.s.sed Zhong Taicang"s.
Those Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple, including Xie Yongan, were already dazzled by what they saw. They could not see the collision of the Heavenly Thunder Sword at all, and could only see the scene of sparks flying everywhere. Ling Dao and Zhong Taicang"s fight had long since reached its climax.
"Just how monstrous is this kid to be able to fight on equal footing with me?"
In the beginning, Zhong Taicang did not even put Ling Dao in his eyes, as he admitted that his talent was far inferior to Ling Dao"s. But with his current strength, he was far, far stronger than Ling Dao, so even if he wanted to kill Ling Dao, he should not have any difficulties doing so.
But when he truly made a move, Zhong Taicang knew that he was wrong, and extremely wrong as well. Ling Dao"s realm was indeed lower than his, and her strength was also weaker than his, but her sword techniques were much stronger than his. He thought that he had more combat experience than Ling Dao, but when they truly started fighting, he realized his own inadequacies.Ling Dao seemed to be born for battle, he had unparalleled potential in battle. Every time Zhong Taicang unleashed his sword, Ling Dao seemed to have sensed something and was able to block first. If that was the case, it would not be an easy task for Zhong Taicang to kill Ling Dao.
Actually, Ling Dao did not have any special physique. Rather, he had experienced too many battles. Zhong Taicang thought that he had more battle experience than Ling Dao, but he did not know that Ling Dao had experienced much, much more battles than him. With just a start, Ling Dao was able to determine the sword strike he was about to execute.
"Looks like I can only use my source energy. Otherwise, if I can"t even kill a 16 year old youth, wouldn"t it be a joke if word of this got out?"
Until now, Zhong Taicang still had not used his origin power yet, so he thought that dealing with Ling Dao would be a simple matter. However, there was nothing he could do now. If he did not use his own energy, he was not confident that he could kill Ling Dao."Everyone has underestimated you. You are already so powerful at such a young age, if you were my Heavy Sword Sect Disciple, how great would that be!"
Zhong Taicang let out a long sigh. Their Heavy Sword Sect had produced many geniuses, but unfortunately, no one could compare to Ling Dao. He"s only sixteen, but he"s already at the Middle Stage of Air Defense. And it"s not just that, his battle strength is extremely tyrannical, and he can even fight against Origin Stage Warrior.
Even the elders of the Heavy Sword Sect s who had stayed in the air defence for so many years were unable to battle against the Origin Stage Warrior. There was simply too much of a difference between air defence and Origin Stage, but with Ling Dao"s level of cultivation, he was already able to fight against Middle stage Source Realm martial artist.
If he had not personally experienced it, he definitely would not have believed that Ling Dao was able to defeat the Origin Stage Warrior. Ling Dao was too young, and his realm was so low as well, so much that there should be a huge gap between his and the Origin Stage.
"If I don"t kill you today, you will definitely become a huge threat to my Heavy Sword Sect in the future!"
If it was said that Zhong Taicang gave others a feeling, it would be that he was tyrannically overbearing and overweeningly arrogant. Then, right now, Zhong Taicang gave off the feeling that he was extremely calm, as if he was a huge boulder that could stand tall for a thousand years, as if he was a completely different person.
"Kill!"
Following Zhong Taicang"s loud roar, the ground within a radius of one kilometer started to shake intensely. The black iron sword in his hand, was like a small mountain, smashing towards Ling Dao. He had already used his source energy, and his strength had increased by a huge amount. He was much stronger than before by more than a level.
In Ling Dao"s surroundings, large swords suddenly appeared one after another. These large swords were not formed from zhenqi but from the soil on the ground. Each large sword was emitting an extremely powerful aura. Even a huge sword had rushed out from beneath Ling Dao"s feet. If Ling Dao had not retreated quickly, he would have been ripped into two by the gigantic sword.
Just as Ling Dao was about to land, a huge sword also rushed out. Fortunately, Ling Dao had used the Eight Steps of Star Chasing and avoided this calamity with an inconceivable speed. But right after that, another large sword appeared on the ground. It was clear that all of this was Zhong Taicang"s doing.
"Is it the The Source of Earth?"
Ling Dao was very knowledgeable, he only used the power source, and Ling Dao was able to see the power source that Zhong Taicang had. The Source of Earth, as one of the five elements, was considered to be quite powerful, even among all the elements."Hmm? Brat, you have good eyes! "
Zhong Taicang raised his brows. He did not expect that Ling Dao would actually know about the The Source of Earth as well. In his heart, Ling Dao was just a tenth ranked power disciple. He probably wouldn"t know about this sort of thing. A tenth rank power did not even have a Origin Stage Warrior, how could Ling Dao recognize the source of the energy?
Although he was confused, not only did Zhong Taicang not stop, he even unleashed an even stronger attack. A large sword was erected on the ground, following which Zhong Taicang waved both of his arms, and all the large swords rushed towards Ling Dao. It was as if ten thousand arrows had shot out at the same time. Every single sword appeared extremely thick and heavy.
"It"s over, it"s over. The Vice Sect Leader won"t be able to hold it off this time!""Is this the power of the Origin Stage Warrior? For a martial artist with source energy to have such a great power with just a single move? "
All of the Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple were stunned. Those large swords that had come out from the ground naturally made them extremely curious. However, what frightened them the most was that every single large sword was able to slay them. If Ling Dao died, he only needed to use this move to take all of their lives.
"I want to see how you will withstand my sword attack!"
The Darksteel Sword Art that contained The Source of Earth s was obviously not something that could be compared to before. Zhong Taicang sneered. It was simply impossible for a air defence pract.i.tioner to block the Origin Stage Warrior who had used his origin energy.
"Isn"t it just source energy? It"s not like I don"t have any! "
What Ling Dao had said was simply the biggest joke in the world. How could a mere Middle Stage of Air Defense pract.i.tioner possess the power of origin? Did he really think that he would be so easily deceived if he became old and muddled?
