Chapter 540: Chapter 146: Unmatched by Any Opponent

"Courting death!"

The Upper Concealment thought someone standing in front of him must be a disciple of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect coming to seek death.

On the passenger ship, only the Jade Flute Fairy posed a threat to them, and now she was entangled by Celestial Concealment.

The rest were of no concern!

This Upper Concealment’s face was expressionless, his knife stance unchanged, stabbing towards the belly of this person.

The newcomer was bare-handed, reaching out to grab.

Judging by the intention, it seemed he wanted to seize the weapon bare-handed!

"Truly wishful thinking!"

The Upper Concealment sneered inwardly, jolted his dantian, his inner qi surged, and a fierce burst of sword qi erupted from the blade, sweeping towards the newcomer’s palm!

Sword Qi, Dao Qi, were the effects produced by Third Grade Martial Artists who opened their meridians, emitted inner qi, and attached it to weapons.

Whether sword qi or dao qi, it was not solid; simply in sharpness, naturally sparser than real weapons.

However, breaking through a martial artist’s flesh was effortless.

Moreover, with sword qi and dao qi, the attack range expanded, adding many variations to sword techniques, creating unguarded moments.

The Upper Concealment paid no heed to the newcomer’s grabbing palm; just a burst of dao qi was enough to cripple this person’s palm!

At this moment, an eerie golden sheen appeared on the newcomer’s palm.

"Hmm?"

A glimmer of astonishment flashed in the Upper Concealment’s eyes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sword qi collided with the newcomer’s palm, producing the sound of metallic clashing.

As if the hand was not flesh but forged from steel!

"Is this person wearing gloves?"

A thought darted through the Upper Concealment’s mind.

Yet he hadn’t sensed any gloves just now; how did they suddenly appear?

Before he could comprehend, the newcomer’s golden hand was already clutching his wrist.

Even then, he remained unfazed, erupting inner qi, hoping to withdraw the hand and retrieve the knife.

However, the inner qi released seemed to hit a solid wall.

Crunch!

A crisp sound!

Severe pain radiated from the wrist.

The Upper Concealment’s eyes were wide with anger, yet he fiercely endured the pain, not uttering a sound.

But he did not anticipate the newcomer’s strength was so formidable; the hand was like an iron clamp, and the inner qi from four meridian passages couldn’t break free.

In a blink, his Hidden Saber fell into the newcomer’s hand.

At this moment, another Upper Concealment, ghost-like, emerged from the side for a pursuit!

As this person rushed forward, he had no chance to strike before a stunning blade light appeared before him!

He had never seen such a quick blade.

The blade light flashed and disappeared.

Even the finest skills of the Moon Night Race from Celestial Cauldron Continent couldn’t match the speed of this blade.

He couldn’t even see how the opponent struck.

Warm liquid surged from his throat, soaking his chest.

The next moment, he lost consciousness.

The newcomer grasped the wrist of the other Upper Concealment and shook violently.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A sound of bones echoed from the Upper Concealment’s body, several joints dislocated, and he became limp.

The newcomer lifted his leg and kicked the person in the chest, directly shattering his heart!

The entire clash, although seemingly slow in retelling, actually occurred in an instant.

The Upper Concealment attacked, the newcomer blocked in front of Jian Qiuchi, reached for the saber, and backhanded a slash to cut the throat of the pursuing Upper Concealment!

Then swiftly kicked the first Upper Concealment to death.

"It’s him?"

Only then did Jian Qiuchi see clearly the tall figure blocking in front of her.

Her heart was both astonished and delighted, filled with mixed emotions.

She truly felt like she had traversed Ghost Gate.

Roaming the Jianghu for years, she had faced several dangers before, with life hanging by a thread.

But such desperation and helplessness hadn’t been experienced for many years.

"Is Sect Leader okay?"

Chen Tang glanced back.

"I’m...I’m fine."

Jian Qiuchi looked at Chen Tang, about to thank him, when she suddenly noticed demonic figures quickly approaching around Chen Tang!

Other hermits had discovered the situation here and already surrounded for a kill!

"Watch out!"

Jian Qiuchi’s expression changed, hurriedly reminding him.

Chen Tang seemed not to hear, casually tossed the Hidden Saber in his hand, tapped his toe, picked up the Falling Long Sword from Jian Qiuchi, and said, "Apologies, borrowing Sect Leader’s sword."

Jian Qiuchi was anxious enough to stomp her foot.

At this moment? Use it if you need to, why say anything, who’s blaming you.

In that fleeting moment, seven hermits surrounded!

Chen Tang didn’t even look, his wrist lightly shook, the sword blade trembled slightly, emitting a clear and resonant sword hum!

Buzz!

This ’Return Sword’ in Chen Tang’s hand suddenly blossomed into countless sword shadows, reaching extreme speed.

The sharp sword tip, a chill shining brightly, like a rainstorm of swords pouring down!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

A burst of blood appeared!

The seven approaching hermits were instantly engulfed in a mist of blood, pierced through numerous bloody holes, dead on the spot!

"Rapid Rain Sword?"

Jian Qiuchi’s eyes widened, instinctively cried out.

The Ba Mountain Swordsmanship is divided into four parts: Rain Listening Sword, Torrential Rain Sword, Rapid Rain Sword, Fine Rain Sword.

Among them, the Rapid Rain Sword emphasizes sharp and fast sword techniques as the core essence.

When cultivated to great success, the sword tip can transform into numerous cold lights, forming a storm-like momentum, bursting with extremely fierce offensives.

If cultivated to Third Grade, with opened meridian passages, combined with sword qi, then it’s an overwhelming downpour of sword rain, vastly majestic and overwhelmingly fierce!

This person actually knows Rapid Rain Sword?

Moreover, able to cultivate Rapid Rain Sword to this extent?

Even among the disciples of Ba Mountain Sword Sect, few reach this level.

This person has horizontally trained the body, without cultivating inner qi, and did not form a torrential rain’s momentum.

Yet, even so, just with the ultimate quickness of the sword, had already formed a considerable scale of sword rain, terrifying in lethality.

One sword slayed seven hermits!

"Sect Leader, be careful."

After resolving the crisis on Jian Qiuchi’s side, Chen Tang cautioned briefly and dashed elsewhere.

He grasped the ’Return Sword’, charging and slashing amidst enemies, leaving chaos wherever he went.

Despite numerous hermits, none dared confront him!

Whether Rapid Rain Sword, Torrential Rain Sword, Fine Rain Sword, in his hand were equally effortless.

If a Ba Mountain Sword Sect disciple faced danger, Chen Tang appeared promptly.

Before long, over a hundred hermits had already died by half!

Not even wounded, those facing Chen Tang were all dead!

Guo Heng, Luo Qi, Lin Ling’Er, and other disciples of Ba Mountain Sword Sect, watched as Chen Tang wielded the Sect Leader’s sword, using their well-known ’Ba Mountain Swordsmanship,’ rampaging aboard the passenger ship.

Like slicing through vegetables and melons, one man and one sword, amidst hermits, he killed several times round, undefeated!

The disciples watched with mouths agape, utterly stunned.

"This person’s methods are indeed terrifying."

"Turns out our sect’s swordsmanship has such power."

"No wonder Brother Chen said his skills were all killing techniques, he was not wrong, look, not a single hermit on the ship survived being stabbed..."

"Senior Brother Luo, lucky you didn’t spar with him, spared your life!"
