The Brilliant Fighting Master

1389 Slaughter Sword

Duan Yun’s blood-red eyes were more distinct on such a black night, and they seemed like pieces of rubies. If one observed his eyes carefully, one would realize that they resembled a cat’s eyes.

The Slaughter Sword Doctrine wasn’t like the Eternal Sword Doctrine. It was passed down from a single person to another, and it wasn’t used to form a faction such as the Sword Realm. It also meant that the care received by Duan Yun surpassed greatly what the Sword Realm’s disciples had received.

Jiang Chen nodded at Miss Bai, before he faced Duan Yun and transmitted his voice to him. He said, “Ghost-slaughter, being-slaughter, or god-slaughter? Which stage have you reached?”

“What?” Duan Yun was startled, and disbelief appeared on his face.

Since the inheritance was passed down from a single person to another, outsiders shouldn’t know anything about the Slaughter Sword Doctrine, and this was why Duan Yun was surprised to hear Jiang Chen talk about it in detail.

“You are courting death!”

Just after this, Duan Yun revealed a murderous look. He didn’t care how Jiang Chen had managed to learn about this, and he would just have to kill him to prevent him from divulging it.

“If you haven’t reached the god-slaughter stage, I have to advise you to not make a move,” Jiang Chen spoke once again.

“What will happen if I make a move?” Duan Yun spoke out of displeasure.

“You will lose.”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha!” Duan Yun held his belly and laughed heartily, as if he had just heard a joke.

Odd expressions appeared on the faces of Sleeping Young Master and the others. They didn’t understand Jiang Chen’s power. But they knew clearly how powerful Duan Yun was.

Duan Yun was among the most powerful people in the third-rank group, and, as long as his realm level reached the late stage, he would get to advance into the second-rank group.

As for Jiang Chen, he was just in the primary stage of the Martial Emperor Realm. The only known achievement about him was that he had defeated Yuan Xiaotian, who was a person that had only recently reached the third-rank group.

“Jiang Chen, once he unsheathes his sword, blood must be shed,” Miss Bai said.

“I know. You don’t need to worry about me,” Jiang Chen thanked her for her kind intentions.

Miss Bai still wanted to speak further. But Sleeping Young Master quickly strode forward and said, “Miss Bai, this is his own affair, and he didn’t even ask us to meddle in it. Moreover, Duan Yun is quite cruel.”

There were only around ten yards between Sleeping Young Master and Jiang Chen, and that why it would seem to outsiders that they belonged to the same group. This was also why Sleeping Young Master felt quite uneasy.

“You should leave,” Miss Bai understood Sleeping Young Master’s thoughts. Her calm tone expressed her firm resolution.

“Miss Bai, why are you treating me like this?” Sleeping Young Master was confused. He was acquainted with Miss Bai, and, even though they didn’t have a close relationship, they were still on good terms.

But Jiang Chen’s position had surpassed him greatly in the past few days.

What no one knew was that Miss Bai felt ashamed of herself. If she hadn’t asked for the name of Jiang Chen’s Sword Soul, none of this would have happened.

Miss Bai didn’t explain anything, and her sharp gaze penetrated the void. She stared at Duan Yun.

“I have to say this now. If Jiang Chen suffers any mishaps, I will surely kill you,” Miss Bai left these words behind, before she nodded at Jiang Chen and moved back by two steps.

Since Jiang Chen was determined to deal with everything by himself, she wouldn’t obstruct him.

Jiang Chen chuckled bitterly. He was aware that Miss Bai didn’t have any feelings for him. But it was easy for others to misunderstand her words.

It was especially the case since other people didn’t know that she was a member of the Monster Clan, and they assumed that she stated such words because she was worried about her lover.

“You really have good luck with women,” Duan Yun spoke in mockery.

“Will you really fight?” Jiang Chen said, while he exchanged the Red Cloud Sword for the Heavenly Fault Sword.

“Do you think that I’m afraid of you?” Duan Yun took Jiang Chen’s words for provocation, and, as he shouted loudly, boundless Sword Energy spread out of him.

A blood-red fog started rising, while a Boundless Sword Soul with five special traits appeared.

If one had only observed the sword soul’s outward appearance, it would seem that it wasn’t any worse than Jiang Chen’s Boundless Sword Soul. It had a distinct blood-red color, and even its radiance and tip had such a color.

Duan Yun’s black hair fluttered in the wind, while his blood-red eyes became sharp.

“Receive my sword strike.”

The Doctrine Sword in Duan Yun’s hand was made according to the norm. It had a long and narrow bright red blade that seemed quite sharp.

When the Sword Soul appeared, the sword’s blade started shining, and it seemed like it was burning with flames, while it emitted a devilish light.

It was at this moment that Jiang Chen summoned his Boundless Sword Soul. Its appearance was the complete opposite of Duan Yun’s sword soul, and it seemed like a fine piece of art. It was semi-transparent and had a light blue halo circling it. It seemed as if it had come out of a fine painting!

A vigorous Sword Spirit’s power surged out and extinguished the murderous aura sweeping him.

It was at this moment that a cry emanated from the sword in Duan Yun’s hand, and it started shivering slightly.

“Well?” Duan Yun was surprised. “I didn’t expect that you would make the Slaughter Sword become so excited. Let me see how your Sword Doctrine is.”

“The Dawn’s White Sun!”

As Duan Yun’s voice echoed, he thrust his sword.

The Slaughter Sword shone brightly, and its radiance seemed like raging flames. It streaked across the black night sky and illuminated the land.

“Move back!”

Upon detecting such a sword strike’s might, Sleeping Young Master didn’t hesitate any longer, and he quickly moved back along with his companions.

Miss Bai had only retreated slightly, and when she saw Sleeping Young Master’s response, she could only shake her head. She had already discerned that Sleeping Young Master’s composed and careless look was just an act put on by him. He was doing it to stand out and attract people’s attention.

What was scary about it was that Sleeping Young Master had gotten so engrossed in his act that he had managed to deceive even himself.

If other people exposed him, he would just laugh it away and state that lies were marvelous.

Miss Bai quickly paid attention once again to the battle.

Duan Yun used one of his famous moves. It wasn’t the strongest of the moves he had learned. But it wasn’t weak. Moreover, he even used it well on this day, and he released the move’s whole might.

Miss Bai was quite worried about Jiang Chen, and she wondered whether he could block such a move.

“Magnificent and Splendid Wind!” Jiang Chen’s body leaned forward, while a sharp whistling sound echoed, as the sword tore apart the sky.

The two Boundless Sword Souls quickly started confronting each other, while many luminous arcs appeared around them and collided intensely in the air.

It was a gorgeous sight, and it was as if there were 1,000 swordsmen fighting here at the same time.

The boundless power of the Sword Spirits erupted, while Sword Energy that seemed able to destroy everything ran amok in this land.

The spectators moved back repeatedly because they were afraid of being affected and harmed.

When the spectators regained their balance, they stood firmly. They looked over at the battlefield and witnessed that Jiang Chen and Duan Yun were fighting evenly.

“Sword Domain!”

“Break apart! Great wind, rise!”

“Humph, your Sword Domain can’t trap me.”

These two people had started an intense confrontation since the beginning, while their Sword Domains appeared one after the other and were both broken in a short time.

The spectators were attracted by such a spectacular confrontation, and, as they thought about their former expectations, they were all dumbfounded.

“He…he unexpectedly can fight against Duan Yun?” Sleeping Young Master couldn’t believe this, and his careless and frivolous look disappeared completely.

Even if Jiang Chen had managed to defeat Yuan Xiaotian, it didn’t mean anything to him, and he still had a feeling of superiority. This was also why he was displeased by Miss Bai’s attitude toward Jiang Chen.

However, Sleeping Young Master now knew that Jiang Chen’s power was shocking. He was obviously just at the primary stage of the Martial Emperor Realm, yet he still fought intensely against Duan Yun, who was at the intermediate stage. This went against the third-rank group’s principles.

“He isn’t just fighting against him, he’s taking the upper hand,” Miss Bai stated words that stunned everyone. Her pretty eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

“Refreshing, it’s refreshing! A swordsman like you is unexpectedly among the younger generation,” Duan Yun laughed heartily. “It’s a pity that you will still be defeated on this day.”

After Duan Yun spoke, tremendous power emanated from his body, and he seemed like an erupting volcano.

“It should be like this!”

Upon witnessing this, the spectators heaved a sigh of relief. This matter would be strange and irrational only if Jiang Chen managed to defeat Duan Yun.
