The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1601 Is this the Heavenly Sword?

"Zhu Yuncheng of Xuelong Manor, please enlighten me!"

Chen Pingzhi ultimately failed to secure first place. Although he initiated the challenge, the other prodigies from various sects voiced their opposition, leaving him with no other option.

Draw lots!

Those with the strength of a Celestial Immortal or above who wish to challenge Lin Chen will draw lots to determine who will be the first to fight him.

Zhu Yuncheng was the lucky one that everyone envied.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and cupped his hands in greeting: "Please!"

Zhu Yuncheng's body shone with golden light, his aura overwhelming. He raised his right hand and reached out to grab Lin Chen from the void.

The sky was filled with clouds and the vast spiritual energy of immortals gathered together, forming a giant, golden hand that reached down towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn't dodge. His opponent was only at the early stage of Earth Immortal, so why would he need to dodge?

The giant hand descended, reaching out to grab Lin Chen.

Lin Chen casually took out the Demon Emperor Blade and swung it vertically.

A sharp sword aura slashed straight down at the colossal hand that blotted out the sky.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the sword energy, like a thin thread, instantly landed on the giant hand and then cut deeply into it.

A burst of golden light erupted, and the giant hand was cleaved in two by this sword energy!
This strike was like a sharp pair of scissors, directly cutting the sky in two.

Zhu Yuncheng's expression changed slightly. This attack was naturally not his full strength, but merely a probing strike. However, Lin Chen's counter was far too casual!
He held a knife in his hand, and with a casual slash, it broke open.
Zhu Yuncheng summoned his natal flying sword. As he cast the spell, the flying sword shone with golden light, and within the golden light, lightning flashed.

Thunder Flying Sword!

Break it for me!
The Thunder Flying Sword, accompanied by the sounds of countless thunderbolts, pierced towards Lin Chen, its golden light trailing a golden thread, as if it were about to tear the heavens and earth apart.

Lin Chen remained calm, and only when the Thunder Flying Sword was in front of him did he casually slash out with the Demon Emperor Blade in his hand.

The seemingly casual strike landed precisely on the most vulnerable spot of the Thunder Flying Sword, instantly deflecting the immensely powerful sword and sending it flying diagonally away.

Zhu Yuncheng gritted his teeth, connected his mind to the flying sword, and drove the flying sword to cut through the sky. In an instant, it turned around and stabbed at Lin Chen again.

The power of this sword strike was enough to shatter towering mountains into dust, to tear the earth apart and form deep canyons, and to be as thunderous as lightning, crushing hundreds of miles of forest. But in front of Lin Chen, it seemed to be just an ordinary flying sword strike.

Nothing special!

He casually swung the Demon Emperor Blade in his hand again, and the Demon Emperor Blade, like a swimming fish, accurately struck the flying sword and knocked it away.

The Demon Emperor Blade's knockback technique isn't a direct, head-on strike that sends the flying sword flying. Instead, it attacks the sword's weak points, causing it to deflect and thus knock it away. This is a technique similar to the Tai Chi principle of using minimal force to deflect a greater force, achieving the goal of knocking the target away with minimal impact.

Skillful application!

Zhu Yuncheng became anxious.

Damn, it went off course again!
How did this guy do it? How did he accurately find the weak point of the flying sword at the exact moment of the violent collision and energy explosion, and knock the flying sword away?

This scene also shocked all the cultivators watching.

"Lin Chen's move was pretty impressive!"

"There's a move like that in Heavenly Sword? I don't think I've ever heard of it."

"Such a powerful attack, yet it can't land at all. It's like throwing a full-force punch that hits nothing at all. How can he win like that? Wouldn't Lin Chen be invincible?"

"Lin Chen's defense is so ingenious. Most importantly, look how casual his two attacks were, as if they were just done offhand. This shows that he has extremely strong confidence. I'm afraid Zhu Yuncheng can't win."

"Not necessarily. Lin Chen only demonstrated his exquisite defensive abilities. To win, defense alone is not enough."

"Are you stupid? How could you say the Heavenly Sword has no offensive power?"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Zhu Yuncheng's flying sword suddenly accelerated, the sound of wind and thunder becoming increasingly clear. The flying sword was so fast that it seemed like a bolt of lightning, flying through the air and striking Lin Chen from time to time. However, Lin Chen seemed to be an insulator, as the lightning would always strangely veer off course and fly in another direction when it struck him.

Zhu Yuncheng's face had darkened; he couldn't hold back any longer.

He prided himself on being a genius with astonishing combat power, but now, facing Lin Chen, who was at the same level, he felt helpless and powerless.

Lin Chen stood there motionless, unable to do anything to his opponent.

How big is the gap in strength?

Lin Chen casually defended against Zhu Yuncheng's flying sword. Looking at Zhu Yuncheng's dark face, he smiled nonchalantly. After knocking the flying sword away again, his spiritual energy surged out and instantly gathered on the Demon Emperor Blade.

At the same time, a terrifying sword intent instantly rose from Lin Chen's body, spreading out and covering thousands of meters.

Most of the onlookers were cultivators below the level of immortals. They instantly felt short of breath and their bodies turned ice-cold, as if they had fallen into a thicket of swords. They were terrified and retreated, keeping their distance.

Even cultivators with strength above the level of immortals were shocked when they felt that chilling and sharp sword intent.

Such pure and domineering sword intent!

Is this the Heavenly Sword?

Before the sword was even drawn, the world was already completely filled with pure sword intent. If it felt so terrifying from such a distance, how must Zhu Yuncheng, Lin Chen's target, feel?
