Chapter 57 - Defeat of Gong Taiping with Sword"He just broke through the true qi realm, and dares to fight with me. He"s really courting death!"
Gong Taiping waved the sword in his hand, and rushed towards Ling Dao. As a true qi realm Ranker, Gong Taiping could also wield ten thousand kilograms of power with one hand. If Ling Dao used his full strength, he would be able to defeat Gong Taiping with a single sword strike.
However, Ling Dao didn"t do so, and only used ten thousand kilograms of strength. In this period of time, his name had spread far and wide in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Other people would definitely think that he was a genius, so it was normal for him to possess ten thousand kilograms of strength after breaking through to the true qi realm.
The two fine steel sword s collided in the air and emitted a clear sound of metal colliding. Gong Taiping frowned, but felt that it was a power that was similar to his. To be able to become the number one outer court disciple, he really did have some extraordinary qualities.
Unfortunately, pure strength was only a part of a sword cultivator"s true strength. For example, if it was a Rushing the Sky Stage sword cultivator, even if they had lost their cultivation, they would still be much more powerful than warriors at the peak of the Physical Realm. His true qi was gone, and his sword technique was still there. With a single sword strike, he would be able to kill someone. Of course, this was only Ling Dao"s current understanding, and might not necessarily be correct.
"Ripping Wind!"
Gong Taiping bellowed, the sword in his hand slashed out, as though it was able to tear the wind apart. Sky-splitting Sword Sect"s sword technique was known for its sharpness. It could break through everything, cut through everything, and even the wind itself could tear through it.His sword turned into a ray of silver light and slashed towards Ling Dao. The sword tip of the fine steel sword condensed from the True Qi. Gong Taiping was only using Zhenqi Middle Stage, so the amount of sword qi he had condensed was naturally not much.
"Gong Taiping is already able to condense sword qi, that brat is simply unable to be his opponent. You have just become a true qi realm Warrior, how much true qi does he have in his body? "These people did not know that when Ling Dao broke through to the true qi realm, ten spirit energy whirlpools appeared above his head, causing a lot of spirit energy to form in his body. Compared to the Zhenqi Middle Stage warriors, they were indeed inferior, but were only a lot more than the ordinary Early stage Zhenqi warrior s.
"Rushing Thunder Shadowless Sword!"
With the help of the True Qi in his body, Ling Dao had become even more adept at using the Rushing Thunder Shadowless Sword. Even Gong Taiping only felt a flash of lightning, and then, the fine steel sword in his hands almost fell apart."What a fast sword!"
"Even I can"t see the trajectory of his sword!""That brat"s power is so strong, he"s probably around the same as Gong Taiping!"
Their repeated exchanges had also allowed the inner disciples present to witness Ling Dao"s might. Even if someone had just broken through to the true qi realm, not everyone could deal with him. Gong Taiping was already at the Zhenqi Middle Stage, so even when fighting with Ling Dao, he did not have the upper hand."Wind Slasher!"
Gong Taiping"s sword move changed, and became even stronger than before. The moment the wind came out, it was as if the surrounding air was split in half. It was fortunate that they used fine steel sword s, otherwise, if they continued to fight like this, people would lose their swords.
"If that"s all you have, then don"t embarra.s.s yourself here!"
If Gong Taiping said something like that, others would still accept. But now, hearing Ling Dao say this, the other people"s faces immediately changed. How could a disciple who had just broken through to the true qi realm have such big words?The Innate Qi in Ling Dao"s body started to circulate crazily, then converged onto his right hand. Strands of sword aura also appeared on the tip of the fine steel sword"s sword. It had already been a year since Gong Taiping broke through to the true qi realm before he was able to condense sword aura atop the sword tip.
After someone else became a true qi realm, they would have to fumble around for a while before being able to condense sword aura at the tip of the sword. But to Ling Dao, condensing sword qi was an extremely simple matter. As long as he had the True Qi in his body, he would be able to do it.
boom rumble rumble *Everyone present could clearly hear the voice that sounded like a thunderclap. After becoming a true qi realm Ranker, the Rushing Thunder Shadowless Sword in Ling Dao"s hands also unleashed a stronger power. With just a flash of lightning, the fine steel sword fiercely slashed down.
Thunder was extremely powerful and filled with an extremely tyrannical destructive power. A fierce and overbearing sword strike ruthlessly clashed with Gong Taiping"s fine steel sword. Wind Slash could slash through the wind, but it could not slash through thunder!
"Clang!"
Gong Taiping only felt the fine steel sword tremble, and then his palm split open, blood flowing out. The fine steel sword in his hand was even sent flying away, even though he desperately tried to hold onto it, he was unable to do so.
That one slash from Ling Dao just now, however, allowed Gong Taiping to truly feel the power of thunder. If Sky-splitting Sword Sect"s Sect Master Duan Zhenghui and Vice Sect Master Zhuang Xin were here, they would definitely be shocked to the extreme. This was because Ling Dao"s sword technique already contained the power that they had been chasing after all along.
Even though it was so weak that it could be ignored, Ling Dao had after all come into contact with that power. If Duan Zhenghui and Zhuang Xin could comprehend that power, then they could take another step forward and become even stronger. Even Sky-splitting Sword Sect could become a ninth ranked power.
"If I don"t teach you a lesson, there will definitely be many people who will cause trouble for me in the future." Since that"s the case, you can stay in bed for two months! "The sword in Ling Dao"s hand turned into another streak of lightning, but before he could even react, a long wound appeared on his body, so deep that his bones could be seen. The intense pain caused Gong Taiping to scream miserably, falling onto the ground.
"You"re dead meat! It was senior brother Zhou who told me to come. You injuring me was the same as making senior brother Zhou lose face. In the inner sect, those who have offended Brother Zhou will not have a good ending! "
Gong Taiping raised his head and looked at Ling Dao, his eyes filled with deep hatred. He had come to teach Ling Dao a lesson, but instead got taught a lesson by Ling Dao. After becoming an inner court disciple for over a year, he was actually injured by a youth who had just become an inner court disciple. This matter will spread very quickly, and at that time, Ling Dao"s reputation will be greatly shaken, and his reputation will definitely spread far and wide.
"Senior Martial Brother Zhou?"
Ling Dao glanced at Gong Taiping, but frowned. When did he offend Senior Brother Zhou? Ling Dao had long forgotten about Zhou Xing. How could he remember that Zhou Xing had a big brother, Zhou Xinghe!
"That"s right, it"s Senior Brother Zhou Xinghe! You have just arrived at the inner sect, and might not know this yet, but Senior Brother Zhou is ranked third in the inner sect, and has long since become a Rushing the Sky Stage Disciple! If senior brother Zhou wants to kill you, it will be as easy as crushing an ant! "
Originally, Gong Taiping thought that if he said Zhou Xinghe"s name, Ling Dao would be afraid. Inner Sect Disciple Third Senior Brother, as well as a Rushing the Sky Stage Ranker, was naturally not someone Ling Dao could compare to. He had just stepped into the true qi realm, how could he be a match for the Rushing the Sky Stage?
"It"s not like he"s the eldest senior brother, what"s there to say?"
Ling Dao laughed, and then walked over Gong Taiping"s body. Since he was already an enemy, so what if he was a Rushing the Sky Stage cultivator?
