The Saint who was guarding Divine Platform City was Saint Ling Ding of the Law Enforcement Palace, Luo Lingding.
Saint Ling Ding stood on the top floor of the Formation Tower right in the centre of Divine Platform City, wearing a dao robe, his entire body radiating white holy light, with a pair of hands behind his back as he stared at Zhang Ruochen and Snake Two who were not far away from the battle stage.
Behind him, there were also the three Half-Saints of the Law Enforcement Palace: the Empty Yu Half-Saint, Empty Spirit Half-Saint, and Empty Clear Half-Saint.
“The people of the Demon Sect are really too arrogant, and they dare to be so unbridled in the territory of the Two Elemental Sect.”The slightly chubby Empyrean Half-Saint gave an angry cold snort.
The Empyrean Half-Saint, however, was a little worried, saying, “Snake Two is an ancient relic species, the Sacred Heart White Snake, with the bloodline of an ancient divine beast flowing within her body, and furthermore, she has extremely high attainments above both the Dao of the Sword and Spiritual Power.”
“Not long ago, news came through that on the way to the Two Elemental Sect, Snake Two fought with a first-ranked Half-Saint of the imperial court once, and fought hundreds of moves against each other without losing.”
The Empyrean Half-Saint added, “Lin Yue will be representing the Two Yi Sect and participating in the Sword Discussion Conference, if anything happens to him, how can we explain to the Sword Saint and Patriarch?”
Saint Ling Ding nodded and said, “Lin Yue’s cultivation level is only the seventh change of the Fish Dragon, while Snake Two is about to cross over into the Half-Saint realm. There should still be some gap between him and Snake Two. Empyrean, you go and stop them, and by the way, warn the people of the Demon Sect that if anyone dares to continue to act recklessly, they will be killed on sight.”
“Understood.”
Empyrean Spirit stood up and was about to rush over in the direction of the battle platform.
“Wait.”
In the distance, a pleasant woman’s voice rang out, appearing extraordinarily vast, and reached the ears of Saint Ling Ding and the three Half-Saints.
Immediately after, a white light, flying from afar, appeared on the top floor of the formation tower and coalesced into the body of the Sacred Book Talented Lady.
“Greetings to Lord Talented Lady.”
The three Half-Saints stood in a row and bowed at the same time, bowing to the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, looking very respectful.
Saint Ling Ding, however, frowned and said, “What does Lord Talented Lady mean?”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady was wearing a white Confucian dress, a woman dressed as a man, appearing graceful and smiling like a spring breeze, “Elder Ling Ding, senior Ling Ding, senior Ling Ding has no other meaning, merely that she has quite a lot of confidence in Lin Yue and feels that he is able to fight with Serpent Two.”
Hearing the Sacred Book Talented Lady call herself a junior, immediately Sage Ling Ding’s brows slightly stretched and his mood became much happier. After all, in terms of cultivation, identity, and status, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden was above the Ling Ding Sage, and to be able to call him a senior was already the greatest respect for him.
Ling Ding Half-Saint said, ”Lin Yue’s strength is indeed very powerful, but his cultivation is ultimately only the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation, so I’m still quite worried that he will have an accident. Lord Talented Lady should understand how important Lin Yue is to the Two Element Sect.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady gave a shallow smile, glanced towards Lin Yue on the battle stage, and said, “If Lin Yue is able to defeat Snake Two with his cultivation of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation, wouldn’t his future achievements be even more immeasurable?”
For the Sacred Book Talented Maiden to be able to think so highly of Lin Yue was of course a great joy for the Two Element Sect.
Saint Ling Ding’s heart stirred, and it suddenly occurred to him that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden had personally rushed here to watch the battle, and from this, it could be seen how much importance she attached to Lin Yue.
“Could it be that the …… Sacred Book Talented Lady is preparing to select Lin Yue to become one of the Sect Sons, and his battle with Snake Two is the final test for him?”Sage Ling Ding’s heart secretly thought.
A Boundary Son had extraordinary significance to the Two Eyes Sect, enough to allow the Two Eyes Sect to stand in the Kunlun Realm for the next thousand years, with no one daring to offend.
“Lin Yue, you must be competitive, even if you can’t defeat Snake Two, you can’t lose to her.”Saint Ling Ding took a deep breath and his eyes became very grave.
No matter what, it was necessary to make the Sacred Book Talented Lady pay more attention to Lin Yue.
……
…………
On the battle stage, Snake Two and Zhang Ruochen stood opposite each other, although, they had not yet exchanged blows, the two Sword Qi Domains had already clashed together.
A sword qi, in the collision, kept breaking, causing the air to undergo subtle distortions.
“A Swift Ancient Remnant Species, can also be in the Fish Dragon Realm, cultivating Sword One to the tenth level of great perfection, worthy of being a Sacred Heart White Snake.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Although, there hadn’t been a real fight yet, Zhang Ruochen was able to sense that Snake Two’s Sword Dao cultivation was not low, at least it was also the tenth layer of Great Perfection of Sword One, and it was even possible that it could cultivate Sword Two to a certain realm as well.
One must know that in the last thousand years, there were only dozens of people, in the Fish Dragon Realm, who had cultivated Sword One to the tenth level of great perfection and become Sword Heroes.
It could be said that any Fish Dragon Realm Sword Magnate was a rather remarkable Sword Dao wizard.
Snake Two revealed a row of snow-white shell teeth and laughed, “Since that’s the case, let’s see whose sword dao, is more superior.”
When she uttered the first word, she was still standing at a distance.
However, when she uttered the last word, she had already appeared behind Zhang Ruochen, and wordlessly lifted her snake-shaped Holy Sword, cutting towards Zhang Ruochen’s neck.
The speed displayed by Snake Two could already be compared to a first rank Half Saint.
If Snake Two’s opponent was a Saint Body of the Fish Dragon’s Ninth Transformation, he might have already had his head cut off by her sword before he could react.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t dodge, he just stood in place and backhanded a sword thrust out, striking at Snake Two’s chest.
This was a move to die together!
If Snake Two’s sword cut Zhang Ruochen’s neck. Zhang Ruochen’s sword would also be able to pierce through her body.
“Swish!”
Snake Two was naturally unwilling to die with Zhang Ruochen, her brows slightly furrowed and she immediately dodged to the right while striking Zhang Ruochen’s waist and abdomen with another quick sword strike, dragging out a long sword blade.
Zhang Ruochen’s speed, too, was extremely fast, almost on par with Snake Two.
He swung his sword in an upward thrust, the tip of the sword striking at Snake Two’s neck, once again knocking Snake Two back.
“Swish swish!”
On the battle stage, Zhang Ruochen and Snake Two exchanged blows rapidly, and in just three breaths of time, the two of them had already exchanged hundreds of moves against each other. However, from the beginning to the end, the swords of the two men never collided together, as if they were rehearsing their moves in isolation.
In fact, every time Snake Two’s executed a killing move, it was broken by Zhang Ruochen one step ahead, forcing her to change her moves.
Only a very few of the cultivators below the battle stage could see the two of them clearly. Other cultivators, including some of the top powerhouses of the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation, could only see the two silhouettes and could not see their moves at all.
The same Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation, but their strengths were worlds apart.
The Chief Mouse’s palm, rubbing his chin, stared tightly at the two people on the battle stage and said, ”Lin Yue’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword are much higher than Snake Two. Snake Two will most likely lose if he competes with him in swordplay.”
Ouyang Huan said, “Snake Two should also realise this, so I guess next, she won’t compete with Lin Yue in sword arts, but will use her profound cultivation to suppress him.”
Snake Two had already half stepped into the realm of Half Saint, naturally, it was not comparable to Lin Yue of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation.
Ouyang Huan’s eyes, were quite grave, if, Snake Er had to rely on his strong cultivation to suppress Lin Yue of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation.
Then, if Lin Yue cultivated to the Fish Dragon 9th Transformation, how powerful would he have to be?
As expected, Snake Two no longer simply competed with Zhang Ruochen with her sword, she mobilised her entire body’s Saint Qi, completely. An ancient sacred power only possessed by the ancient relic species surged out from her body.
“Wow!”
That ancient sacred power condensed into a phallic form, manifesting into a bucket-thick white snake that coiled in the centre of the battle stage, creating a massive pressure.
The original Dharma phase exerted by the Ancient Legacy Seed was surprisingly a bit more powerful than even the Dharma phase of a Sacred Body.
Zhang Ruochen only felt as if there were ten mountains, pressing down on his shoulders, instantly suppressing his strength and speed, and even, even the Saint Qi in his body, was operating rather unsmoothly.
Snake Two let out a petulant laugh and said, “I admit that your sword dao cultivation is indeed formidable, it’s just a pity that your cultivation is still a bit short.”
“Is that so?”Zhang Ruochen said unwillingly.
“Wow!”
She laughed, and the serpentine Saint Sword in her hand surged with a very bright light as all 884 inscriptions surfaced, causing the thirty-foot-long battle platform to completely turn into a huge white ball of light. A powerful Saint Weapon might erupted out, sweeping towards Zhang Ruochen as if it was capable of destroying everything in the world.
Even Ao Xin Yan’s Dragon Marked Aqua Sword only had six hundred and fifty inscriptions. From this, it could be seen how high the grade of Snake Er’s Serpentine Saint Sword was, and its power was naturally quite terrifying.
“Damn! Snake Two actually has such a powerful Saint Sword in her grasp, moreover, her cultivation is still so powerful, I’m afraid Lin Yue is going to lose.”
Ao Xin Yan pursed her lips tightly, even if she was standing below the battle stage, she could still feel the powerful might emanating from the holy sword. If Lin Yue was really the leader of the group, then, no matter how powerful an enemy he faced, he would definitely not lose.
“The Swift Remnant Seed can actually cast a Phantasm, it’s simply more powerful than even the Sacred Body, I don’t know if Lin Yue can block it or not?”
“Neither the battle weapon nor the cultivation is superior, how else can we fight?”
……
As long as he executed the Spatial Domain, Zhang Ruochen could be unaffected by the Dharma Phase.
However, now that all the Saint Masters of the major powers were temporarily residing in Divine Terrace City, there must be quite a few of them watching this battle from the shadows. Exhibiting a spatial domain would definitely be detected by them.
“If I can cultivate a Four Spirit Treasure Body, I will be able to mobilise the power of the five elements and cast a crippled Five Elemental Dharma Phase. Even if it’s just a crippled Five Elements Dharma Phase, it’s still more powerful than Snake Two’s original Dharma Phase, and it’s enough to counter-suppress her.”
Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation level had already reached the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation, and he had a great chance of successfully cultivating the Four Spirit Treasure Body before the Sword Discourse Conference.
As long as he succeeded in cultivating the Four Spirit Treasure Body, his strength would, once again, increase by a large step.
Of course, even if he had yet to successfully cultivate the Four Spirit Treasure Body, Zhang Ruochen was not completely incapable of counterattacking.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised his Saint Qi and injected it into the Meteor Invisibility Clothes, stimulating the power of this Saint Clothes, and immediately, the pressure on his body lightened.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruochen also activated the inscription in the Dragon Marked Aqua Sword and took the initiative to attack towards Snake Two, erupting with a speed that not only didn’t slow down, but became a few points faster compared to earlier.
“How is it possible?”
In Snake Two’s eyes, an unbelievable expression appeared, it was really hard to believe that under the suppression of her original Dharma Phase, Lin Yue was still able to move freely.
“Sword One.”
Zhang Ruochen’s body, almost fused with the sword, transformed into a shuttle of light, breaking Snake Two’s Origin Dharma Phase continuously with a destructive momentum, stabbing it all the way to the position of Snake Two’s brow.
