Chapter 217: Half-Step Sword Intention and Blade Strength

Many powerful people in the True Dao Realm also looked at each other, and each could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

Logically speaking, Xue Lingyun is very strong, much stronger than Hong Qi, and should not be Lin Chen's opponent. And even if Xue Lingyun is really not Lin Chen's opponent, she will only know after trying.

As a result, Xue Lingyun immediately admitted defeat.

The referee on the ring looked at Xue Lingyun in astonishment. Before he announced the start of the ring match, Xue Lingyun had already admitted defeat.

However, the referee's reaction was also very quick, and he immediately said loudly: "Lin Chensheng!"

Another win!

Many disciples in the square also started talking and sighed, looking depressed. They originally wanted to see Lin Chen and Xue Lingyun have a fierce battle, but Xue Lingyun forced Lin Chen to use all his strength, but in the end, he didn't even get a fight.

Among the crowd, Fu Shijian, Shi Gang, and Wu Rong looked solemn.

"Which move was Lin Chen's move that Xue Lingyun mentioned?" Wu Rong thought to himself.

"Thirty percent strength? Lin Chen, it seems that you still have some cards to play." Shi Gang gave Lin Chen a deep look.

"Haha, I don't know if Lin Chen's move will allow me to use my full strength." Fu Shijian smiled faintly. In the inner sect, Fu Shijian feels like a master is lonely. Until now in the inner sect competition, what he has shown is only part of his strength.

The move Xue Lingyun said was exactly half a step of sword intent!

Under the envious gazes of many disciples, Lin Chen slowly walked down from the ring.

"My opponent will be Wu Rong in the next arena match." Lin Chen thought to himself, "It's a pity that I haven't mastered the third form of the Sword Art of Subduing Demons. Otherwise, even if Wu Rong understands the power of the sword, I can rely on Subduing Demons." The sword technique can also defeat it."

The power of the sword is huge, but Lin Chen has a very strong understanding. The Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique is a low-level Xuan-level martial skill. In Lin Chen's hands, it can exert the power of a Xuan-level mid-level martial skill.

If Lin Chen completely mastered the third form of the Sword Subduing Demon Technique, Lin Chen would be sure to defeat Wu Rong without using even half a step of sword intent when faced with Wu Rong who had mastered the power of a sword.

Amid the anticipation of many disciples, an hour passed in the blink of an eye. In the last arena match, Lin Chen played against Xue Lingyun. Xue Lingyun took the initiative to admit defeat and failed to see Lin Chen's true strength, which made many disciples feel regretful. But soon, these disciples set their sights on the next arena match.

The next arena match is between Lin Chen and Wu Rong!

"Wu Rong has great sword skills, I'm afraid Lin Chen is no match for him."

"Lin Chen defeated Hong Qi, but that doesn't mean he can defeat Wu Rong. What's more, in the battle between Wu Rong and Hong Qi, Wu Rong easily knocked Hong Qi off the ring with just three sword strikes."

"Lin Chen is at a loss in this battle."

…

At the VIP table, many power leaders also focused their attention on the arena match between Lin Chen and Wu Rong.

After all, Wu Rong has the power of a sword, and a genius who has mastered the power of a sword has great potential. Naturally, many leaders of forces will pay special attention to Wu Rong.

As for Lin Chen, they have relatively little to pay attention to. Although Lin Chen's comprehension ability is also very strong, compared with Wu Rong, it is obviously much worse. Unless Lin Chen can understand the power of the sword!

Lin Chen's glory was obscured by the genius who understood the power of the sword.

However, many sect power leaders did not know that Lin Chen had already understood the power of the sword as early as when he was still in the outer sect.

Now two years have passed, Lin Chen has understood the sword power to the extreme, reaching the realm of half-step sword power!

…

Inner Gate Square, the first arena.

Lin Chen was wearing a green shirt and holding a true spirit sword, standing on the left side of the ring.

Wu Rong, on the other hand, hugged the sword with both hands and looked at Lin Chen with a cold expression.

"You must also know that I have understood the power of the sword."

Wu Rong suddenly spoke with an extremely cold expression, "So, Lin Chen, even if you use the Demon Sword Technique, it won't do anything to me. At most, it will offset some of the power of my sword, and you won't be able to defeat me at all."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

The Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique is a low-level martial art at the Xuan level. Lin Chen has only mastered the first two techniques. Although it is already very powerful, there is really no way to defeat Wu Rong who has understood the power of the sword.

"One move determines the outcome?" Lin Chen said silently.

Hearing this, Wu Rong laughed, "I know you have a trump card, and you only used 30% of your strength to defeat Xue Lingyun."

"But I'm not Xue Lingyun, so you'd better use all your strength to deal with me." After a pause, Wu Rong continued.

Obviously, Wu Rong was very sure of his sword power. He didn't think he would lose to Lin Chen's strongest blow.

After hearing Wu Rong's words, Lin Chen smiled faintly, "It's not that I don't want to use all my strength, I'm worried that your life will be threatened if I strike with all my strength."

This is the truth.

Half a step of sword intention is already on the edge of sword intention. How powerful is sword intention? As for the half-step sword intention, although it is not as powerful as the sword intention, it is still extremely impressive.

If Lin Chen exerted half a step of sword intent with all his strength, Wu Rong, who had only grasped a hint of sword strength, would not be able to resist it at all, and would even die!

Wu Rong's face darkened when he heard this. He glanced at Lin Chen coldly and said coldly: "Lin Chen, you are really arrogant!"

"Take my knife first!"

Wu Rong shouted low, and the sword he hugged on his chest suddenly moved. A shadow of the sword flashed in the air. At an extremely fast speed, he slashed down at Lin Chen from mid-air, as if he wanted to kill Lin Chen. Like splitting in half.

Not long ago, Lin Chen went to watch the battle between Wu Rong and Zhang Gudao, and had a deep understanding of Wu Rong's sword.

When fighting Zhang Gudao, Wu Rong did not use the power of his sword, but only won by speed, but his sword was indeed fast, and ordinary Tiangang Realm peak warriors could not see the speed of his sword.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, and without any hesitation, the True Spirit Sword in his hand suddenly stabbed forward diagonally...

Sword Art of Subduing Demons - Subduing Demons!

"Roar!!"

A huge python that was hundreds of meters long and thicker than a bucket suddenly appeared on the ring. Almost at the moment when the giant python appeared, it rushed forward, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Wu Rong fiercely.

Bang!

The next moment, Lin Chen's True Spirit Sword collided with Wu Rong's sword.

Wu Rong's sword speed was indeed fast, but Lin Chen's sword speed was also extremely fast. In terms of speed alone, the attacks of the two were actually equal. But even so, many disciples could not see the fight between the two.

Swish swish swish...

On the ring, sword shadows and knife intentions flickered continuously. In just a blink of an eye, the two of them had fought against each other for more than ten times. Immediately, a lot of dull metal collision sounds were heard.

"Swish." Wu Rong's expression was cold. After fighting with Lin Chen for another move, his body suddenly retreated violently, pulling away from Lin Chen.

Just from the fight just now, the two were evenly matched.

However, if you look closely, Wu Rong's hands holding the knife are trembling slightly at this moment, and there are some very small gaps on his big knife.

"What a powerful sword! What a great force!" Wu Rong's face was solemn.

Just now, Wu Rong fought with Lin Chen at speed. In terms of speed alone, Wu Rong was not inferior to Lin Chen at all. However, every time he collided with Lin Chen's True Spirit Sword, Wu Rong could feel a huge force from the True Spirit Sword to his body. If it was one or two times, it would be fine, but just now they fought for more than ten times in a row, and Wu Rong couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

The big knife in his hand was even hit by Lin Chen's True Spirit Sword and had many gaps.

After all, the True Spirit Sword is a half-step true weapon, and it can be upgraded to a half-step true weapon. In terms of hardness alone, it is much stronger than Wu Rong's broadsword. In such a fight, Wu Rong's broadsword did not break into two pieces directly, which is already very good.

In summary, this short fight seems to be evenly matched between the two, but in fact...

Lin Chen has the upper hand!

"Hmph."

Wu Rong knew it in his heart. He hummed and said in a deep voice: "Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to practice swordsmanship to such a level! But... get ready to accept my next move!"

Wu Rong knew in his heart that if he and Lin Chen continued to fight like this, he might lose in the end. After all, Lin Chen practiced the body training method, and the True Spirit Sword was much stronger than his broadsword.

Not intending to waste any more time, Wu Rong said a word, and the broadsword in his hand began to slowly rise, and strands of sword energy began to steadily flow out of his body, all gathered on the broadsword in his hand.

Whoosh whoosh...

A large amount of sword energy surrounded the broadsword.

Seeing this scene, a sect leader nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Wu Rong attacked with the sword force, Lin Chen is afraid to lose."

"Haha, it's good that Lin Chen can get the upper hand in the attack just now, but the sword force is so powerful, how can Lin Chen block it." The elder of Lanshanmen smiled and nodded.

In the eyes of everyone, the sword force on the big knife in Wu Rong's hand finally reached Wu Rong's limit.

At this moment, the sword force in Wu Rong's body has all surged out, and this attack is his strongest attack!

"Lin Chen, in Tianji Sect, only Fu Shijian can block my move. You, can't block it!" Wu Rong said coldly.

So far, there are several people who have fought with Wu Rong in the ring, but only Fu Shijian can block his sword force attack.

However, Wu Rong has not fought with Shi Gang and Xue Lingyun in the ring. But even so, Wu Rong is still confident that Shi Gang and Xue Lingyun can't block his move.

Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Wu Rong's words.

Seeing this, Wu Rong's face darkened and he looked at Lin Chen without saying a word.

"The power of the sword is indeed strong, but you have only comprehended 30% of it now." Lin Chen shook his head and said seriously, "The power is not enough."

The implication is that Wu Rong's strength is not strong enough to be abnormal.

"Then give it a try." Wu Rong shouted.

As he said that, Wu Rong's big sword with 30% of the sword power in his hand began to slowly chop towards Lin Chen.

Swish, swish, swish...

A large amount of sword power was running around, and some of the sword power hit the ground of the ring, which even shook the entire ring.

Lin Chen was not afraid at all.

He also slowly raised the True Spirit Sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Wu Rong.

At the same time...

A huge momentum that was so terrifying that it made people shudder suddenly erupted on the True Spirit Sword!

"Sword Qi" that looked like a small sword suddenly appeared on the True Spirit Sword, and then quickly spread out, covering most of the arena.

For a moment, the area within a few hundred meters to the right of the arena was filled with "Sword Qi" that exuded a terrifying momentum!

Boom!

Many True Dao Realm masters on the rostrum and VIP seats suddenly stood up from their seats, staring at Lin Chen with wide eyes.

The elder of the Blue Mountain Gate only felt a buzzing sound in his head, his face was sometimes shocked, sometimes gloomy, and his expression was extremely wonderful.
