Chapter 2305: Evenly Matched

Afterwards, Jian Chen used his body as a sword, becoming clad in blinding light as he stabbed out.

At the same time, he used the Laws of Strength and the Laws of s.p.a.ce simultaneously. He used the three laws together in battle. He was protected by the dazzling light from the Laws of the Sword outside while his body was strengthened by the Laws of Strength, making him terrifyingly tough. He used the Laws of s.p.a.ce to push his speed to the limits so that his strike was utterly shocking in the end.

It was no longer the Primordial realm. The power within his strike was enough to kill experts of the Primordial realm.

“Hahaha, nice!” Qing Shan showed no fear as he faced Jian Chen’s astonis.h.i.+ng attack. As he laughed aloud, his presence suddenly skyrocketed. He also struck out with his full strength, using a secret technique to deal a shocking attack that caused s.p.a.ce to collapse.

They fought with great intensity. Every time they clashed, a deafening boom would ring out. Frightening, violent storms of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings, causing s.p.a.ce to crack time and time again.

They fought their way up into the sky before fighting their way deep underground. They fought as they retreated, moving tens of thousand kilometres away.

Along the way, all vegetation was reduced to powder while mountain range after mountain range collapsed and vanished. They had been shattered by the powerful shockwaves, reduced to thick dust that filled the skies.

Fire-red lava spewed out from below the ground with great heat,dyeing the entire region red.

As Jian Chen and Qing Shan’s attacks would miss from time to time and land on the earth, they had formed tunnels thousands of kilometres long, penetrating into the depths of the ground and disturbing the lava there.

Both Jian Chen and Qing Shan were quite injured now that the battle had reached such a point. Their clothes were soaked in blood.

Qing Shan was surrounded by a milky-white light. This was Radiant Saint Force. His wounds healed at a visible rate under its influence, recovering as he fought.

Even though Jian Chen did not use Radiant Saint Force to heal, the great regenerative capacity of the Chaotic Body was perfectly unleashed. As a result, his wounds healed at a rate no slower than Qing Shan’s.

As the two of them fought, the three groups led by Gongzheng Xin, Xin Bin, and An Da, along with the protectors who had abandoned Donglin Yanxue and Jian Chen, all halted in their tracks. They looked towards the sky, staring in Jian Chen and Qing Shan’s direction from afar. The light in their eyes flickered.

“What’s happening? Why have all of you stopped?” Gongzheng Xin barked at the protectors around him. There was undisguised panic and fear on his face.

This was fear towards Qing Shan!

“Young master Xin, there are experts fighting in the distance. The shockwaves from their battle are extremely terrifying, so terrifying that they’ve caused the world to change. Even from ten thousand kilometres away, we can sense it clearly,” a protector said from beside Gongzheng Xin, still badly shaken.

“One of them should be Qing Shan of the Martial Soul Lineage. Who’s the other person?”

“It doesn’t matter who he is. We can be certain that he’s much more powerful than elder He Tian. The disturbance from his battle against Qing Shan is even greater than elder He Tian’s…”

“Has the sacred hall received the news and sent an expert?”

The other protectors said. The light in their eyes flickered with uncertainty as they looked at one another. Afterwards, one of them suggested, “Since Qing Shan has been stopped, there’s no need for us to fear anymore. Let’s go and see which expert is fighting Qing Shan.”

Afterwards, some of the protectors immediately flew towards where Jian Chen and Qing Shan fought. The others remained behind to protect Gongzheng Xin.

After they made the same decision, An Da’s group also did something similar. Only Xin Bin’s group, under the candidate’s insistence, did not have any protectors go over to check. They continued to flee.

The protectors who had abandoned Donglin Yanxue were no exception either. They all turned around and approached the battle.

“The shockwaves are so intense. Qing Shan must have encountered an opponent even more powerful than elder He Tian…”

“The sacred hall must have learnt about the situation in the World of Moon and Star and sent an expert to deal with Qing Shan. Qing Shan is struggling to deal with his problems now. Let’s hurry back and see if we can find the opportunity to kill Qing Shan…”

“Killing Qing Shan of the Martial Soul lineage would be a deed of great merit…”

The protectors all stopped running for their lives with various thoughts. They started to approach Qing Shan by following the shockwaves.

Boom!

Ten million kilometres away, Jian Chen and Qing Shan clashed once more before being knocked away by the great force.

When Qing Shan stabilised himself, a black sword suddenly appeared with a flip of his hand. It gave off the might of a G.o.d artifact. He called out, “Soul-severing sword, low quality G.o.d artifact! Even the elder who just died to my hands was not enough for me to use this sword, but you are! I hope you don’t disappoint me.” With that, Qing Shan swung the sword and shot out an ink-black streak of sword Qi, directing it towards Jian Chen.

After taking out the G.o.d artifact, Qing Shan’s battle prowess was elevated to a new level. The sword Qi ripped a pitch-black gash in s.p.a.ce that was several metres long.

Jian Chen was stern. In that moment, he no longer held back either. With a flip of his hand, the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways suddenly appeared. As he channeled his Chaotic Force into the weapon, the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways immediately shone with resplendent starlight, conjuring illusionary stars.

Every star conjured made the power in the sword rise. A total of six illusionary stars appeared from the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways one after another.

Jian Chen also swung out. Immediately, starlight seemed to twinkle as it collided with the Soul-severing sword loudly.

The clash between the two G.o.d artifacts unleashed a might that was even more shocking. The terrifying powers collided, causing s.p.a.ce to erupt with a thunderous boom. s.p.a.ce collapsed where the G.o.d artifacts clashed, forming a metre wide black hole.

Along with the shockwave, a great force erupted, pus.h.i.+ng both Jian Chen and Qing Shan into constant retreat.

Qing Shan was slightly pale and some blood ran down from the corner of his mouth. However, he stared at Jian Chen with s.h.i.+ning eyes as he laughed out loud, “The Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways! It really is you!”

Meanwhile, Jian Chen was emotionless and cold. He knew Qing Shan had already realised his true ident.i.ty. However, he was not surprised. He was already ready to expose his ident.i.ty after he made up his mind to protect Dongin Yanxue.

The Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways in Jian Chen’s hand suddenly jolted, and it shone with blinding starlight. He glared at Qing Shan. Just when he was about to continue the battle, he suddenly frowned. He glanced around and saw what was going on extremely far away; it was like his gaze could pierce through s.p.a.ce.

He had already sensed the approach of many Radiant G.o.dkings with lightning speed from all directions. Even though they were several million kilometres away, it would not take them long to arrive with their speeds as Radiant G.o.dkings.

As a matter of fact, the senses of their souls could easily reach over. However, the s.p.a.ce around them was filled with extremely violent storms of energy, preventing the Radiant G.o.dkings from nearing this place with the senses of their souls.

Jian Chen gave up on his plan of continuing his fight with Qing Shan since these people were approaching. He stowed the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways away and said coldly, “Qing Shan, I’ll continue my fight with you some other time.” With that, the power of the Laws of s.p.a.ce immediately pulsed from his location. In the next moment, he vanished. He had left.

Jian Chen used the Laws of s.p.a.ce to teleport a thousand kilometres away. Afterwards, with a few flashes, he moved ten thousand kilometres away as quickly as he could. He picked up the still unconscious Donglin Yanxue from the mountain he had placed her in before flying off into the distance.

Qing Shan gripped the Soul-severing sword as he hovered in the air. He did not stop Jian Chen from leaving. His eyes shone extremely brightly as he looked at Jian Chen with a strange light. His lips curled into a smile as he said, “I actually encountered the eighth wielder of Martial Soul Force here. However, his battle prowess is great enough to astonish me. That’s quite surprising. It’s just a pity that he has no idea how to use Martial Soul Force.”

Qing Shan stowed his sword away as he said that. He looked at the Radiant G.o.dkings who approached this place rapidly and his gaze immediately became cold, “These people seem to make him worry. But fair enough, there shouldn’t be anyone in the Radiant Saint Hall who knows his true ident.i.ty, or he wouldn’t be able to survive until now. Since that’s the case, let me erase his worries completely.”
