Chapter 503: Sword Doctrine vs. Sword Doctrine
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A guy without any fight loops had warded off Peng Lanâs sword attack easily!
The bystanders couldnât help but blink. When they had confirmed what theyâd seen, they took deep breaths, especially those from the Infinite Sword School who knew the strengths of the Infinite Doctrine of Sword very well. Such a thing shouldnât have happened.
The word infinite meant endless, like the sea. But if that was all, it wouldnât have been appropriate to describe that sword method.
The Infinite Doctrine of Sword was like a storm sweeping over a city, a storm compressed into a blade, gushing out towards a single point.
It could tear anything apart, no matter how hard. In a fight against a person, it would gain more effectiveness if the fight happened in the air.
However, Jiang Chenâs sword had warded off Peng Lanâs all-out sword attack.
The sword had worked so firmly in his strong hand.
Peng Lan was like a kid hitting an adultâs weapon with a board. Nothing she did could cause any harm.
On the other hand, Jiang Chenâs sickly face disappeared after his disguise had been removed. He looked energetic and in fine shape.
The grace of a young swordsman was refreshing. Many womenâs eyes lit up.
This apprentice brother is so young, Feng Wei thought to herself.
Peng Ying was embarrassed, since he had scorned Jiang Chen before. Fortunately, Feng Wei hadnât been beside him. Otherwise, he would have been too ashamed to show his face.
Compared to Jiang Chen, he was only a toad.
Of course, appearance wasnât the most important thing. What people would pay more attention to was the battle.
Peng Lanâs sword was difficult to dodge. In addition, it was fluid. The swiftness and sharpness of the sword werenât offset by its great power.
She was, after all, a genius with a golden fight loop. Her attack wasnât affected, still as fast as the wind and as powerful as fire.
The most wonderful thing was that after each strike, the sword attack wasnât really over, more like a drafting mark left by a painter.
They merged and broke out together in the end, emitting an incredibly great power, as infinite as the sky.
âThe Infinite Doctrine of Sword is amazing,â the swordsmen present all exclaimed, appreciating it and feeling envious.
However, anyone who had a really good eye knew that it was Jiang Chen who had really done well, since he had warded off all of Peng Lanâs attacks.
Those wonderful sword attacks had done nothing. Jiang Chen seemed to have seen through Peng Lanâs sword movements.
None of his movements looked special, but simply due to the fact that even The Infinite Doctrine of Sword couldnât defeat him, he had proven his strength.
Over time, the people below also realized it and kept exclaiming.
It was really difficult to match someone who had a golden fight loop.
âWho is he? He doesnât even have a fight loop.â
âWhy did he disguise himself?â
Jiang Chen piqued the crowdâs interest.
âThe Infinite Special Movement: Swords of Moon Gang up to Kill!â
Peng Lan grew anxious, since she couldnât defeat Jiang Chen easily, and she played her trump card.
Her sword movement changed once again. The light emitted by the sword was bright and clear, shrouding the whole sky.
It transformed into numerous sharp swords in a short time. There were thousands of them, all dashing towards Jiang Chen.
Called Thousands of Swords Return to the Core, such a sword attack was very famous in the history of sword doctrines. It literally meant to have thousands of swords attack enemies at the same time.
Most people could only imitate the shape rather than achieve its nature. It only looked beautiful, but actually wasnât very useful. In such a case, even ordinary sword movements worked better.
However, this sword attack of Peng Lanâs did have the essence of Thousands of Swords Return to the Core.
When the thousands of swords appeared, driven by Peng Lanâs sword, they whirled around her clockwise at a high speed, forming the blue whirlpool of a storm.
Peng Lan pointed her sword at Jiang Chen. The storm of the thousands of swords flew over. One followed another, all connecting together. They seemed like one single holy sword.
Faced with this attack, Jiang Chen exerted the force of his phoenix blood to let flames cover his body.
Before, he would have had to exert the force of phoenix blood at the very beginning to deal with an opponent like Peng Lan.
But he managed to hold it back until the crucial moment by that time, because his state had enhanced.
No matter how much state was belittled, it was fundamental.
As a Cloud Eight, Jiang Chen was still looked down, because Peng Lan was in Cloud Nine.
If she had been in Cloud Four or Cloud Five, no matter how bad Jiang Chenâs martial arts techniques were, people would just feel pity for his rival.
After Jiang Chen had exerted his move, the people down there became extremely pale.
âHeâs a member of an aristocratic family of inheritance?â
They stopped looking down on him and turned serious. There was even awe in their looks, and it seemed like they understood why Jiang Chen had disguised himself.
The Middle State was dominated by the Nine Great Forces. Aristocratic families of inheritance didnât have power there.
The reason was that all of the other states were controlled by them!
The Middle State was divided among the Nine Great Forces, but none of these big groups could compare to any aristocratic family of inheritance in control of a whole state.
Therefore, if any disciple of an aristocratic family of inheritance appeared in the Middle State, no one would dare offend them.
Peng Ying, whose only support was his sister, found it hard to accept. A guy he had looked down on had suddenly become a genius with a respectable background and excellent sword skills.
Thereâs no way he can survive, Peng Ying thought.
He wasnât the only one with this thought. The others were also wondering how Jiang Chen would survive under the attack of the thousands of swords.
The storm of the thousands of swords had moved up to Jiang Chen, ready to swallow him.
Jiang Chen didnât dodge, nor did he hide. Allowing the storm to come to him, he waved his sword at it.
âIs he crazy?â someone below shrieked. It wouldnât work if he took such a sword attack head on, especially when his state was also inferior to his rivalâs.
âHuh.â Peng Lan smiled coldly, as if she had already seen Jiang Chenâs heart being pierced through by thousands of swords.
Soon, Jiang Chen drew a black knife out with his right hand, and he did something surprisingâhe closed his eyes.
He didnât try to look with his eyes, but listened with his ears. The knife and the sword worked together perfectly, their collaboration smooth and natural.
The storm had arrived in front of him. Each sword arrived less than a second after the last, aiming to smash him.
However, under peopleâs shocked gazes, Jiang Chen managed to ward them off beyond expectation. His knife and sword were almost too fast to be seen by the naked eye. The thousands of swords couldnât manage to conquer them immediately.
People worried that Jiang Chen would be smashed to pieces by the blades that followed, but the storm couldnât stop him at all. He kept striking the blades into two. Knocked into the air, the fragments turned into light and disappeared.
âYour sword is weak,â Jiang Chen repeated.
On the other end of the storm, Peng Lan felt more pressured after seeing Jiang Chen walking over. However, after launching such an attack, she couldnât move for a moment. What this could mean, she knew better than anyone else.
What kind of monster is this guy?! Peng Lan cursed violently to herself. The Infinite Doctrine of Sword was famous for its destructive power, but Jiang Chen was like a giant rock in the waves, immovable even when exposed to wind and rain.
âSword doctrine. He mastered the sword doctrine as well. And itâs sword doctrines that restrain The Infinite Doctrine of Sword!â shouted Elder Li from the Infinite Sword School.
Eternal life to the Immortal Doctrine of Sword!
The storm of swordsâ energy was endless. It was like a magic flame that would never extinguish. On the contrary, the flame would grow stronger and stronger in a desperate fight.
The attack of The Infinite Doctrine of Sword had been all but cracked.
âWhat are your last words? Iâm listening.â
In an instant, Jiang Chen was less than 30 feet away from Peng Lan. He smiled coldly.
