Chapter 394: Duan Ling Tian's Speed
"Wind Force!" The Snow Moon Sect's Liu Yue stared blankly at Duan Ling Tian and was slightly out of her wits.
Earlier, when Long Yun said she was inferior to Duan Ling Tian, she was still unconvinced and felt that it was impossible for a fourth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist to compare to her...
But now, the Wind Force that Duan Ling Tian utilized was like a fierce slap on her face.
"How could it be possible for a fourth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist to comprehend genuine Force?" Liu Yue felt her mind was slightly befuddled and she ceaselessly shook her head as she was unwilling to believe that all this was true.
"Hmph! So what if he's comprehended Wind Force? He's only a fourth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist, and his speed isn't much swifter than a sixth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist... Moreover, the strength of this Wind Force can't be amplified by spirit weapons." In next to no time, Liu Yue who'd realized this point shuddered and returned to her senses, and the gaze she shot at Duan Ling Tian contained slight unwillingness.
On the even ground at the center of the Martial Competition Courtyard.
"Elementary Wind Force? Interesting." A wisp of a smile appeared on Long Yun's face, and Origin Energy flickered and raged on the grade six spirit saber in his hand...
In the sky, 1,100 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form and were accumulating strength while waiting to be deployed.
The eyes of Saber Young Master closely fixed themselves upon Duan Ling Tian, as if he'd targeted his prey.
Ready to make a move at any moment.
Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian still had a carefree expression, then his hand trembled and a narrow sword appeared within his hand, and it was precisely the grade six spirit sword Zhang Shou Yong have given him.
Along with the Origin Energy skyrocketing atop the grade six spirit sword, 800 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form above Duan Ling Tian.
This was Duan Ling Tian's strongest strength he was able to display after the strength in his entire body was amplified by the grade six spirit sword!
When Duan Ling Tian saw Saber Young Master move as if he'd transformed into a gust of wind that blew over, and the grade six spirit saber that was enveloped in Origin Energy had transformed into a saber light that whistled over with a speed that was swift to the limit, Duan Ling Tian moved as well.
Like they were reflections of each other, moving at the same time!
Origin Energy rose explosively on Duan Ling Tian's legs, and the strange aura suffused out once again.
Instantly, Duan Ling Tian dangerously dodged Saber Young Master's saber strike that assaulted right at him.
The sword in Saber Young Master's hand flashed over like a falling meteor, and a dazzling saber light condensed from Origin Energy whistled out. After Duan Ling Tian had dodged, its momentum didn't reduce and continued to flash towards an enormous rock that was at a side of the Martial Competition Courtyard.
Instantly.
Hiss!
The sword light flashed into the enormous rock as if it was cutting through tofu.
In the next moment, the enormous rock shook then broke into two with a bang and rolled off.
After Duan Ling Tian dodged the saber strike of Long Yun that contained the strength of 1,100 ancient mammoths, he abruptly turned around then shot straight towards Long Yun.
Om!
Traces of a strange aura jumped about within the Origin Energy on Duan Ling Tian's spirit sword.
Wind Force!
Instantly, another 200 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared beside the existing 800 plus ancient mammoth silhouettes...
Sword Drawing Arts!
His sword slashed out like a bolt of lightning, and it went straight towards Saber Young Master like a shadow.
This slash contained the strength of over 1,000 ancient mammoths!
Less than 1,100.
After all, Duan Ling Tian's Wind Force wasn't capable of being amplified by spirit weapons.
The grade six spirit sword was only able to amplify Duan Ling Tian's basic strength, or in other words that strength of 611 ancient mammoths...
However, Duan Ling Tian's slash was much swifter that the grade six spirit saber in Saber Young Master's hand.
This was a slash that contained Elementary Wind Force after all.
Wind had always been indicative of speed.
Coupled with the speed of the Sword Drawing Arts, there was probably no one under the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage that could attack faster than Duan Ling Tian.
Swift movement technique and swift attacking was Duan Ling Tian's current advantage.
Swoosh!
Saber Young Master's saber strike hit nothing and his face sank, then he stepped using a profound movement technique to directly flash towards the distance, not daring to stay a moment.
The instant that he moved, Duan Ling Tian hadn't swung out his sword.
Swoosh!
The sword strike that was quick to the limit in Duan Ling Tian's hand carried along a swift Wind Force as it flashed out, and the airflow within the sky trembled and emitted light sword howls as the sword stab straight towards Saber Young Master.
Amongst the people present, only the higher-ups of the five great sects were able to see through Duan Ling Tian's sword strike.
Not one of the disciples of the five great sects were able to clearly see the trajectory of Duan Ling Tian's sword strike...
It was too swift!
Although they stared in concentration to look at the scene before them, the spectating disciples from the five great sects were utterly unable to catch sight of the grade six spirit sword that flashed out in Duan Ling Tian's hand.
Swish!
A clear sound suddenly sounded out.
Although Saber Young Master had dodged Duan Ling Tian's extremely swift sword strike in the nick of time, his long tuft of hair was still cut off by Duan Ling Tian's sword, and they fluttered in the air before drifting to the ground.
"What a swift sword strike!" The Mountain Split Sect's Leader's eyes lit up and he said with extreme surprise.
"Duan Ling Tian, take this!" In the scene, after Saber Young Master dodged past Duan Ling Tian's swift sword strike as if he had foresight, his legs shook before stomping on the ground to turn around.
Swoosh!
Like a fierce tiger dashing down a mountain, he pounced towards Duan Ling Tian.
A strange aura had appeared within the raging Origin Energy atop the grade six spirit sword in his hand.
At the same time, another 70 plus ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared beside the existing 1,100 ancient mammoth silhouettes.
Saber Force Seed!
Om! Om! Om! Om! Om!
...
The grade six spirit saber in Saber Young Master's hand was swift to the limit, numerous sword lights condensed into form from the raging Origin Energy atop it, and in the end, they converged together to form a demonic lotus.
This demonic lotus was condensed from 99 saber lights.
He hadn't even come close to Duan Ling Tian when the demonic lotus had already whistled out, enveloping Duan Ling Tian within it...
Minor Demonic Lotus Saber Technique!
The Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Guarding saber technique, Demonic Lotus Saber Technique's basic section.
It was a saber martial skill at the same level as the Minor Seven Star Sword Technique.
"Hmm?" When faced with the saber martial skill that Saber Young Master executed now, Duan Ling Tian's expression became serious.
He could clearly feel that the speed of the grade six spirit saber in Long Yun's hand was even swifter, and wasn't the slightest bit inferior to his speed when he utilized the Sword Drawing Arts.
Not only that, Duan Ling Tian's acute Spiritual Force had noticed danger at the first possible moment.
Whirlwind!
Duan Ling Tian didn't dare hesitate and exploded out with the full strength in his entire body, his legs stomped on the ground as Wind Force suffused out, and he flashed towards the distance.
He wished to dodge past the demonic lotus that was formed from the saber lights that Saber Young Master executed...
This demonic lotus was extremely dangerous.
But although Duan Ling Tian had temporarily dodged the demonic lotus, it seemed as if it had grown eyes as it tirelessly followed close behind him like a shadow.
Now only that, Duan Ling Tian also noticed that the speed of this demonic lotus grew faster by the moment.
"This can't go on! It wouldn't be long before it would be able to chase up to me with its gradually increasing speed." Duan Ling Tian never expected that Saber Young Master still had such a formidable trump card. This saber martial skill was truly strange and was actually like cancer as it followed him.
"The Demonic Lotus Saber Technique isn't so easy to avoid." In the distant pergola, the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Leader saw this scene and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
At the same time, he looked at the Seven Star Sword Sect's Leader, Linghu Jin Hong. "Sect Leader Linghu, your Seven Star Sword Sect's Duan Ling Tian being able to comprehend Wind Force with a cultivation at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage is shocking... But he's only a fourth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist after all. I'm afraid he's going to lose at the hands of my foster son today."
"Sect Leader Long, the match isn't over yet..." Linghu Jin Hong has a calm expression without any fluctuation in mood as he said indifferently.
"What? Sect Leader Linghu, you wouldn't be thinking that Duan Ling Tian has the ability to defeat my Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Minor Demonic Lotus Saber Technique, right?" The Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Leader snorted without agreeing nor disagreeing, then his gaze once again descended onto the battle.
With just a glance, the complacent smile that had just appeared on his face completely froze.
He saw the speed that Duan Ling Tian dashed with now had increased slightly, and created a fair distance between himself and that demonic lotus.
"How could this be possible?!" The Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Leader noticed that when Duan Ling Tian suddenly increased his speed, the 811 ancient mammoth silhouettes actually didn't change in the slightest.
Instantly, he had an expression of disbelief.
How could it be possible that the strength of Duan Ling Tian didn't change!?
His speed has obviously increased an entire level within a short amount of time...
How could the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Leader know that besides his strength and Wind Force, Duan Ling Tian was still able to utilize the mysterious Quake Energy?
Presently, Duan Ling Tian utilized the Quake Energy at its limits on his legs, and it was comparable to another strength of 100 ancient mammoths powering the movement technique he'd utilized.
Whirlwind!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian didn't hold back any longer and used all his abilities, and he seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind as he left the area the demonic lotus enveloped.
"Looks like I still have to utilize Quake Energy if I want to defeat Saber Young Master!" At the same time that Duan Ling Tian increased the distance between him and the demonic lotus, he thought in his heart and his gaze shot at Saber Young master.
Whirlwind!
Instantly, Origin Energy raged on his legs as streams of air shot out, then Wind Force and Quake Energy utilized right after, and his entire body seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot straight towards Saber Young Master.
Saber Young Master's face went grim when he saw this scene.
He didn't dare dally and hurriedly withdrew the grade six spirit saber that was fused within the demonic lotus.
At the same time that the grade six spirit saber was removed, the demonic lotus dissipated.
Sword Drawing Arts!
Duan Ling Tian arrived nearby Saber Young Master in the blink of an eyes, and the grade six spirit sword in his hand followed right beside him, seeming to have transformed into a venomous serpent that fiercely bit towards Saber Young Master.
Swoosh!
This time, Saber Young Master once again dodged as if he had foresight, repeating what he'd done earlier.
"How could this Duan Ling Tian's speed possibly be so swift!?" At the same time that he dodged, Saber Young Master's expression was extremely unsightly.
Duan Ling Tian's speed seemed to have instantly increased a level.
The strangest of it all was the ancient mammoth silhouettes above Duan Ling Tian actually didn't change in the slightest.
In other words, Duan Ling Tian didn't increase his strength.
But since he didn't increase his strength, then why was his speed able to suddenly increase so much?
Saber Young Master naturally wouldn't know the profundity of Duan Ling Tian's Quake Energy.
Duan Ling Tian's Quake Energy at its limit had a scope of effect of the strength of 100 ancient mammoths...
If he were to use Quake Energy on his legs and utilize a movement technique, it was comparable to the strength of 100 ancient mammoths powering the movement technique, moreover, it wouldn't draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to develop ancient mammoth silhouettes.
