C932 The Green Lotus Sword Scripture Gu Li Was Defeated!
C932 The Green Lotus Sword Scripture Gu Li Was Defeated!
An explosive sound was heard from the Earth Vein Arena. Gu Lee's fists carried a force that could destroy everything as they smashed towards Ji Chen's face!
If this strike really hit him. . . Even with the protection of the Earth Vein Arena, Ji Chen would still be seriously injured and unable to participate in the next ranking battle!
Everyone turned their eyes to Ji Chen, wanting to see how this young genius from the Sword Sect was going to receive Gu Lee's shocking attack!
Sensing the gazes of Luo Chen and the others, Ji Chen only smiled. Looking at the rapidly approaching fist, Ji Chen's eyes focused. Green Wood Sword Intent gushed out and covered the long sword in his hand.
The long sword that was condensed from earth vein energy circulated with a brilliant light. It was very eye-catching. What attracted people's attention even more was the slowly blooming Three Leaves Green Lotus behind Ji Chen!
"Humph! Pretending to be mysterious!"
Gu Lee let out a stern shout and pressed both of his fists down. A strong wind from his fists swept across the Earth Vein Arena, causing the defensive light barrier around the Earth Vein Arena to tremble a few times.
When the geniuses in the audience saw this scene, they didn't know what to say anymore.
It wasn't as if they had never seen the defensive light screen being shaken before. But that was only possible when the attack directly landed on the defensive light curtain!
Apart from that, only the aftermath of Luo Chen and Xiao Wending's attack had caused the defensive light curtain to tremble a few times!
Now, Gu Lee had actually managed to shake the defensive light curtain with his fist wind. This was enough to show how powerful Gu Lee's attack was. It was enough to make people speechless!
Seeing Gu Lee's attack, Zhang Juechen and Wang Xi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Ji Chen.
Although they weren't very familiar with Ji Chen, they could be considered as acquaintances who nodded their heads. On the contrary, it was Ancient Power of Marquis Mang Huang who didn't have any relationship with them.
Therefore, they would naturally side with Ji Chen.
In comparison, Luo Chen and Lee Mingyi were much calmer.
With their eyesight, they could easily tell that Ji Chen still had a backup plan. If they fought back, they might be able to defeat Gu Lee who had used the Falling Star Strike.
"Clang!"
Just as Gu Lee's fists were about to land on Ji Chen's body, a crisp sword chime sounded out. It sounded like a dragon's roar as it exploded on the arena.
A dazzling sword light soared into the sky. Ji Chen swung his sword and met Gu Lee's fists. Following Ji Chen's movement, the phantom of the green lotus behind him bloomed rapidly and turned into countless lotus flowers, quickly coiling around Gu Lee.
The Green Lotus Sword Skill - Dead Life!
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen let out a slight sigh and looked at Gu Lee with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Gu Lee's Falling Star Strike was already amazing. Amongst the 32 geniuses participating in this ranking battle, only a handful of them were able to withstand Gu Lee's attack.
Unfortunately, Gu Lee was fighting Ji Chen, who came from the Sword Sect and possessed a huge amount of resources!
He had already recognized the sword technique used by Ji Chen. The sword technique was called the 'Green Lotus Sword Scripture', and it was only a High Grade of Earth Rank Sword Skills. If it was placed in the vast ancient records of the Sword Sect, this High Grade of Earth Rank Sword Skills would be unnoticeable.
After all, the Sword Sect was built on swords. There were as many Heaven Rank Sword Skill as the stars in the sky in the sect. A mere High Grade of Earth Rank Sword Skills was not enough to attract people's attention.
However, Luo Chen knew very well that if the Green Lotus Sword Scripture was combined with the Green Wood Sword Intent in the Five Elemental Sword Intent, the power it could unleash would far exceed that of an ordinary Heaven Rank Sword Skill!
More importantly, the Green Lotus Sword Scripture's killing move was a combination of life and death with the Green Wood Sword Intent. It was completely able to produce an endless stream of attacks, perfectly countering a pure explosive attack like the Falling Star Strike!
Therefore, although the Falling Star Strike was much more powerful than the Green Lotus Sword Scripture's killing move, unless Gu Lee could defeat Ji Chen with a single strike. If not, he had no chance of winning at all!
However, it was obvious that even if Gu Lee used the Falling Star Strike, he still wouldn't be able to eliminate Ji Chen with a single strike. Therefore, his defeat was already a foregone conclusion!
"That brat from the Cultivation Barbarian Clan has lost. " Lee Mingyi shook his head and said faintly when he saw Ji Chen using the Green Lotus Sword Scripture's killing move.
Gu Lee's attack wasn't enough to defeat Ji Chen's attack. Under such circumstances, Gu Lee had no chance of winning against Ji Chen's attack.
The result was just as Luo Chen and Lee Mingyi had expected. Gu Lee's fists collided with Ji Chen's long sword. Although Ji Chen's body shook violently a few times, he didn't interrupt Ji Chen's attack.
On the contrary, because of the Falling Star Strike, Gu Lee was caught by Ji Chen's countless lotus flowers in the awkward situation where he had yet to regain his strength. In the end, he was held by Ji Chen's long sword on his neck and was defeated miserably.
"Thank you for letting me win. " After defeating Gu Lee, Ji Chen cupped his hands at Gu Lee, then jumped down from the Earth Vein Arena and returned to the Stone Table.
Although Gu Lee was somewhat unwilling to be defeated by Ji Chen, he didn't say much. Ji Chen had defeated him in a direct battle, and he was convinced of his defeat.
After seeing Ji Chen leave the Earth Vein Arena, Gu Lee leapt down from the Earth Vein Arena and returned to the Stone Table where he was.
After the two of them left, another two silhouettes lit up on the Earth Vein Arena. One was a genius of the Floating Cloud Empire and the other was a genius of the outside world.
Luo Chen and the others didn't pay much attention to the battle between these two. Instead, they turned their attention to Ji Chen who had just come down from the Earth Vein Arena.
"Senior disciple Ji is really good at hiding!" Luo Chen looked at Ji Chen and said with some emotion, "If Senior Brother Ji revealed the Green Wood Sword Intent and Green Lotus Sword Scripture during the opening battle, I'm afraid I might not be a match for Senior Brother Ji. "
The meaning behind his words was naturally that the current Ji Chen was no match for him, and Luo Chen did have the confidence and qualifications to say such words.
One should know that when he fought Ji Chen, his cultivation base was only at the fifth grade Martial Sovereign, and he had yet to undergo the marrow cleansing process. Compared to his current strength, it was undoubtedly like comparing a firefly to the bright moon!
Therefore, even though he had witnessed Ji Chen's astonishing strength, Luo Chen was not worried that he would be defeated by Ji Chen!
"The Saint is too kind. " Ji Chen smiled bitterly and said to Luo Chen, "Although I had a trump card at that time, I'm afraid the Saint also had a trump card, right?
At that time, I didn't have the confidence to defeat the Saint Son, so I hid the Green Wood Sword Intent and didn't expose it. As for now, I think it's impossible for me to be a match for the Saint!"
Ji Chen knew very well how exaggerated Luo Chen's strength had increased these past few days. It could be said that Luo Chen's gains during these few days in Hidden Dragon Ancient City could be compared to other martial artists' years or even decades of hard work!
