Chapter 2354 - 2353: Battle Against Jianyu Wuji
Chapter 2354: Chapter 2353: Battle Against Jianyu Wuji
At the moment, Jianyu Wuji did not take the ’Light Messenger’ before him seriously.
He was merely apprehensive about whether any other Heavenly Realm Martial Artists were hiding in the dark, behind him.
At this time, he casually swung a sword towards Lin Dong.
Previously, he had used this very sword to sever the arm of the ’Envoy of Darkness’.
In his view, the Light Messenger’s strength was similar to the Envoy of Darkness, thus this sword should naturally be able to sever his arm as well.
However...
This sword was easily dodged by Lin Dong.
"Swish~~"
Lin Dong utilized a speed seven times the speed of sound to dodge the sword.
Seeing this, Jianyu Wuji praised, "It seems you are indeed stronger than the Envoy of Darkness, especially in terms of speed."
"This is not surprising, since you, the Light Messenger, possess the bloodline talent from the Bright Clan. The bloodline talent of the Bright Clan is precisely known for its speed."
Lin Dong did not reply, but instead returned a sword strike.
"Whoosh~~~"
In that sword strike, Lin Dong did not use Sword Intent, but emulated the ’Sword of Light’ technique previously used by the ’Light Messenger’.
A Sword Qi like a streak of light aimed at the center position of the Jianyu Family.
The target was not Jianyu Wuji.
Because he knew, that casually swung sword could not break Jianyu Wuji’s defense.
Better to set the target elsewhere.
Jianyu Wuji saw this and quickly raised a Sword Qi protective shield, enveloping the entire Jianyu Family.
"Boom!"
Lin Dong’s sword struck the protective shield.
If not for his protective shield, Jianyu Family facing Lin Dong’s sword would suffer great impact.
Jianyu Wuji immediately instructed the God of Thunderous Wrath, "Thunderous Wrath, quickly activate the family’s defensive array."
Fights between Heavenly Realm Martial Artists are not a joke; even a casual overflow of Sword Qi can level a mountain.
Inside the Jianyu Family, there are many important buildings; if destroyed, it would be a major loss for them.
Jianyu Wuji certainly does not allow such a situation to occur.
"Light Messenger, do you dare to battle with me at an altitude of ten thousand meters?" Jianyu Wuji asked loudly.
Lin Dong laughingly said, "Why wouldn’t I dare!"
On ground, it’s indeed difficult to fully unleash one’s abilities; battling at an altitude allows for full exhibition of strength.
Moreover, Lin Dong does not wish to expose his true identity.
"Go!"
With a mighty call, Jianyu Wuji’s body shot upward like a rocket, towards the sky.
His body friction with air generated flames, and the flames streaked through the sky like a reversed flying meteor.
Lin Dong followed closely, also at seven times the speed of sound, towards the sky.
In a blink, the two were at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
Clouds were beneath their feet, no longer seeing the people and buildings on the ground.
The two hovered high in the sky, facing each other in confrontation.
"Light Messenger, let the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists behind you come out quickly, stop letting them hide,"
"Is it the Emissary of Wisdom? The Emissary of Darkness? Or the Emissary of Gold, or have they all come together?" Jianyu Wuji spoke.
After speaking, he released his breath to sense the surroundings.
To see if there were other Heavenly Realm Martial Artists’ breaths around.
However, after sensing for a while, he felt nothing.
"I can’t sense any other Heavenly Realm Martial Artists around, suggesting this person’s strength might be stronger than mine."
"Among the Four Great Shrines, only the Emissary of Gold’s strength is slightly stronger than mine. Could it be he has come?"
Jianyu Wuji thought with some apprehension.
And right at that moment, Lin Dong spoke, "Jianyu Wuji, I said, to deal with someone like you, why need anyone else from the Nine-Headed Society? I alone am enough to slaughter you!"
Hearing these words, despite having a good mental state, Jianyu Wuji couldn’t help but feel slightly angry.
"Okay, still unwilling to come out at this point? Then I’ll first slay you, this arrogant Light Messenger."
"Let’s see how long your Nine-Headed Society’s Emissary of Gold can stay hidden."
Having said that, he spoke no further, directly drawing the sword from behind.
"Thunderclap Sword, unsheathe!!"
The treasure sword he carried, named ’Thunderclap Sword’, was of no low quality, actually reaching the level of a second-order Spirit Sword.
Jianyu Wuji too was an expert in swordsmanship.
Moreover, he also cultivated Sword Intent.
At this moment, with the ’Thunderclap Sword’ in hand, he said, "Back in the day, with this Thunderclap Sword, I fought hundreds of rounds with your Nine-Headed Society’s Emissary of Gold."
"We were evenly matched; if it weren’t for the arrival of the Emissary of Wisdom, I wouldn’t have necessarily lost to him."
"Today, I will use this Thunderclap Sword to first slay you, Light Messenger, then battle your Emissary of Gold."
He always felt that the Light Messenger dared to be so arrogant because there was reliance behind.
That the Golden Divine Envoy would surely be hiding in the dark.
Yet little did he know, the person before him was neither the Light Messenger nor did he have the Golden Divine Envoy behind; only himself alone.
"First Layer of Thunder Sword Intent!"
"Whoosh~~"
The Thunder Sword Intent transformed into Sword Qi imbued with a Thunder Attribute, slashing towards Lin Dong.
In Jianyu Wuji’s eyes, as a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist using Thunder Sword Intent, even just the first layer, he could easily slaughter the First Heaven’s ’Light Messenger’.
The Sword Intent like thunderstorm, altering trajectories, moved to kill.
Had Lin Dong truly been the Light Messenger, relying on his strength indeed couldn’t dodge the sword.
Nor defend against this sword!
But he wasn’t the ’Light Messenger’, he was Lin Dong.
At this moment, Lin Dong also suddenly unsheathed his sword.
"Swish!"
Lin Dong too slashed a sword, and this sword too was Thunder Sword Intent.
"Boom!!"
The two Thunder Sword Intents clashed together, exploding in the sky, transforming into a tremendous thunder.
This tremendous thunder echoed, nearly audible across half of Yinghua Country.
"What’s going on? It’s a clear sky today, why did it suddenly thunder?"
"Doesn’t look like weather for rain, why the lightning?"
"And this thunder is too loud, ears are about to rupture."
"..."
Yet raising their gazes skyward, they couldn’t make sense of anything.
With mortal eyes, naturally they couldn’t see Lin Dong and Ken’iki Kaede high in the sky.
The distance was too great, even the size of an airplane remained unseen to the mortal eye, let alone two people.
Furthermore, too many clouds obstructed the view!
The public below was stunned by the thunder.
High up, Jianyu Wuji was likewise taken aback.
"How do you know Thunder Sword Intent?"
Lin Dong calmly replied with a smile, "Why? Is Thunder Sword Intent yours alone? Only you can know it? Should I not know Thunder Sword Intent?"
With these words, Jianyu Wuji’s face turned even grimmer.
"Seems I underestimated you before. The Outer World says your strength and the Envoy of Darkness are about the same; now it’s clear, that’s not true."
"Everyone underestimated you; you’re much stronger than that Envoy of Darkness!"
"But, this ends here! Today, I’ve thoroughly set my mind on killing."
