Chapter 363: Counted...
Translator: Nal Venom
This sword attack was completely beyond Justice's expectations! However, to move unhindered everywhere for the past ten years, how could Justice lose herself from panicking so easily? He simply closed his eyes and froze on the spot, forcefully stopping his flight in midair! His body was stiff and stiff, but he actually managed to hold himself in the exact same place!
Ling Tian's attack was still in place, however, this pause resulted in a displacement on his originally strongest and most tyrannical attack! The optimal point of his attack had disappeared, leaving behind a weaker version. The strike that initially caused difficulties for Justice thus diminished its effect!
At this point, Justice suddenly let out a shout similar to lightning as she unsheathed the long sword from nowhere. His bold and powerful internal energy gushed out profusely, producing the sound of ‘weng weng’ vibration heard from his sword. He displayed a shocking scene, where Ling Tian seemed to be surrounded by swords from top to bottom, as if heaven and earth had connected with his sword with this attack!
Justice was undoubtedly the number one legend expert, even with such a loss, he was still able to change the scenario forcefully! However, while Ling Tian's sword was displaced due to his actions, he also could not use his full strength in such a situation!
“Ting ting ting..” The clashing sounds of clustered metal resounded continuously, as if a bowl of beads were poured onto a jade plate, or rain splashing onto the leaves of a tree!
It was a pity that the swordplay of both sides had not reached its peak! If they clashed at their peak strength, then how majestic was this scene really?
With a few slashing sounds, two streams of blood rose without being asked into the sky. One of them from Ling Tian, who was thrown backwards, tipped over and drew a circle of blood as it sprayed from its wound!
Being in the air, Justice had no borrowing power to speak of, but with the advantage of cultivating his peak level, he managed to change the outcome of the battle. However, in the end, he was still an ordinary human, and with a combination of all the different unfavorable circumstances, he was also repulsed and forced down with a torn shoulder! While his internal energy was above Ling Tian, he had spent an entire day chasing after Ling Tian, falling for Ling Tian's scheme and being poisoned. The consumption is naturally amazing! And with the surprise ambush from Ling Tian, as well as the godly sword Ling Tian was holding, it was no wonder he was injured!
In this past decade, this was the first time Justice had been injured in an exchange! If this matter were to spread, Ling Tian's name would shake the entire world of boxers!
As the saying goes, ‘The name of a person is like a shadow that a tree’ casts. Ling Tian definitely hoped that he could clear Justice cleanly in a single strike, so his fame would spread widely. But he is also aware that Justice's title is not something that just pops up, and has already made preparations in advance. As it descended, he wrapped himself around a huge tree, and kicked out viciously with both feet, launching himself into the sky once more!
Behind him, the tree that the two men were about to embrace suddenly fell down! Falling with a pressure similar to the fall of a mountain, the tree headed straight for the head of Justice!
Before Justice arrived before, Ling Tian had come and used his sword to hack through over two-thirds of the trees, so with the application of strength, it produced a shocking result!
Justice had not even managed to touch the ground and could already see the shadow of the tree looming over it! He involuntarily inhaled a breath of cold air, and unconcerned with his injuries, immediately increased the speed at which he descended, followed by stomping hard and flying backwards, avoiding that life-threatening danger!
The tree hit the ground hard, as if the entire mountain peak had collapsed! The uppermost tree branches even came into contact with the retreating Justice calf, causing him to frown. Even though it did not injure him in any way, this was still too embarrassing!
Justice turned her body, and looked around her, only to find out that Ling Tian had disappeared! Unable to kill him in a single blow, his fame would spread far and wide from now on!
Standing on the slope, Justice raised her sword and got another shock. This sword had been forged by fine steel hundreds of times and had accompanied him for over a decade without any flaws. However, under the pressure of Ling Tian's Man and Sword as One, its tip was broken and jagged, as if it had turned into a saw, not a sword!
A deep contemplative look passed through Justice's current face, before she suddenly smiled faintly.
This figure, who had been viewed as an extraordinary person similar to a demon or demon for a long time, was actually unable to defeat a young man in a single blow, instead injuring himself. Furthermore, his beloved sword for ten years had actually been broken, and the worst part was that he was even harmed in their exchange!
Justice did not fall in anger and blindly ran forward like before, instead sitting still on the tree, head bowed as it recalled everything that had happened the day before in its mind. From the moment he met Ling Tian in the Ling Residence, his every move, every expression, and every sentence was remembered, as well as his own answers and reactions!
“Hahaha... interesting, very interesting!” Justice suddenly laughed in excitement. “Ling Tian, you are really interesting!” He suddenly did not think that it was a complaint for him to fall into this condition! If not for his current skill level and cultivation, it was likely that this place would be this graveyard! The arrangements, schemes, and martial arts Ling Tian displayed really shocked him!
Only now did Justice learn that as she walked into the Ling Residence, everything that happened was under Ling Tian's control! It was a coincidence that Ye QingChen was present, and while Ling Tian did not ask Ye QingChen to conspire with him, his plan had made full use of Ye QingChen's presence to make Justice fall into his palm!
Ling Tian took advantage as Ye QingChen and Justice were talking to cut the conversation, drawing attention to himself. Since Ye QingChen was on the scene, with the character of Justice, he would definitely face Ye QingChen and not kill Ling Tian in front of him! He wanted to first let Ye QingChen finish speaking, but Ling Tian had cut in and continued the conversation on his own.
Through this, Ling Tian managed to eliminate the killing intent that Justice originally had for him into a three-way conversation. In front of an old friend, if his friend also smiles and talks to you, you can't just ignore him, right? Once he answered Ling Tian, he had already fallen into Ling Tian's trap, and in this condition, he would not take action in the Ling Residence.
Right after this, Ling Tian immediately took out a quality wine, and while Ling Tian only invited Ye QingChen to drink, without any intention to make Justice, he did not, being in the same sect as Ye QingChen and also with the mission in hand, how could it be? Justice left the area? He could also be said to have the right to drink wine!
And there was Ling Tian's second trap! As Ye QingChen raised her cup, Ling Tian took the opportunity to ask herself to speak to Ling Chen. Ye QingChen was unlikely to stop him, and thus could only turn to Justice! Justice even suspected that Ling Tian's words to Ling Chen were all designed with him listening in her mind, because if the contents were truly private, then Ling Tian could use a sound transmission instead. Using a whisper in his ear, isn't that the same as trying to deceive yourself into believing that an expert won't be able to eavesdrop?
The following were the words provoking Ling Tian, showing confidence and arrogance to him. But all of this was actually pronounced with his identity as of the Beyond Heavens in mind! By arousing Justice's arrogance through reverse psychology, Ling Tian made him accept a half-year bet with her!
As soon as the bet was set, and when Justice himself was feeling pleased with himself, Ling Tian suddenly attacked him, catching him unprepared! To throw his face in front of his old friend, this would definitely incur his anger, and thus he actually fell into Ling Tian's trap.
The following schemes were all designed to further provoke his anger, making him constantly fall into ambushes and drain his strength! Justice could predict that every single path she went through, Ling Tian had gone through it once, but with all of the complicated schemes she used, it was only with her eyes, he made sure that Justice himself would spend enough time there for him to walk the same route several times. This way, Ling Tian obtained the necessary time to proceed with the plan, and made this entire valley a death trap!
As for the poisonous needle behind his back, it was the pinnacle of a killing tool! Justice knew that if not for her quick reaction, the needle would have pierced her eyes, and at that moment, whether or not she was the undisputed number one expert, he's as good as the fish on the cutting board! Thinking of this, Justice could not help but shiver.
Just like that, under Ling Tian's plan, he had lost over half of his internal energy reserves. However, Ling Tian still pretended to be on the losing side, playing a small trick here and there as Ling Tian led him to the killing scene that Ling Tian had prepared all day long. Once again, Ling Tian made use of the region to launch a surprise attack, which if not for his movement technique, he would have received a serious blow! This did not end there, because surprisingly, Ling Tian actually gave a countermeasure, whether he succeeded or not! The clean slices of more than half of the tree trunks already tell the story of Justice. It spoke volumes about Ling Tian's meticulousness and attention to detail! Ling Tian did not even give up any possibility!
With so many layers of schemes in place, Ling Tian finally achieved a result that would shock the entire — boxer community to be able to exchange blows with the owner of the Martial Order Medallion, Justice, on balanced terms! To the extent that, if Justice was just a little lacking, she would be wiped out!
Justice laughed bitterly. He realized that he had made the wrong choice from the start. From the moment the bet was made, he had always assumed that Ling Tian would run away from him. However, it was actually the opposite, that Ling Tian was actually planning his death while on the run! He used all sorts of methods, despicable or not, just to kill him!
What a proud man who does not know how vast the heavens and the earth are!
What a smart and dangerous Ling Tian!
Even a lion would use its full strength to catch a rabbit. Has his life flowed too smoothly the past few years?!
