Chapter 91: Chapter 91: The Nine Elders
"What a terrifying sword strike!"
"As expected of the senior disciple, with such a sword strike, no one below the sixth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm can block it!"
The sword momentum instantly enveloped the entire scene, causing the disciples of the Sword King Sect to involuntarily change their expressions.
At the same time, a sneer appeared on their faces as they looked at Ji Chen, "This guy is destined to die today!"
"Daring to intrude upon our Sword King Sect, it’s simply seeking death!"
Amidst the sneers of the crowd, Yu Jing’s sword light seemed to tear through the void, reaching above Ji Chen’s head in the blink of an eye.
Yet Ji Chen stood quietly in place, without any intention of retreating.
"Why isn’t he moving?"
"Haha, maybe he’s scared stiff."
A disciple of the Sword King Sect mocked again.
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, as Yu Jing’s sword light completely approached the top of his head, Ji Chen finally moved.
He thrust his large hand forward, gently pinching two fingers together, unexpectedly catching the sword light that was forcefully slashing down.
The scene immediately froze the expressions on the faces of those Sword King Sect disciples.
"The power is indeed decent, but unfortunately, it’s insignificant to me."
Ji Chen smirked disdainfully, then exerted force with his fingers, directly shattering the sword light.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of breaking entered everyone’s ears.
Not only the disciples of the Sword King Sect, but even Yu Jing’s face changed drastically.
This sword strike, he held nothing back, and the technique he used was a high-level Profound Tier Martial Technique, one of the top three martial techniques of the Sword King Sect.
In Yu Jing’s view, not to mention Ji Chen in front of him, even a master of the seventh or eighth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm might not be able to withstand it head-on.
But now, his full-force sword strike not only posed no threat to Ji Chen, but was also easily resolved by the opponent.
If not witnessed personally, Yu Jing would never have believed it to be true.
"Try taking my sword strike."
And just as he was stunned, Ji Chen’s indifferent voice reached his ears.
"Buzz..."
The sword momentum howled, causing the space to tremble.
In the next moment, a purple sword light appeared out of thin air, as if tearing through the heavens, slashing down from the endless sky.
"Not good!"
Yu Jing’s expression changed dramatically, feeling the terrifying nature of Ji Chen’s sword strike, completely beyond what he could withstand.
He barely had time to think, immediately releasing all the spiritual power within him, forming a heavy energy barrier around him to block Ji Chen’s sword strike.
"Crack!"
However, Yu Jing underestimated the power of Ji Chen’s sword strike.
Almost instantly upon contact, the protective spiritual power barrier around him collapsed.
"Bang!"
At the same time, a powerful force sent him flying.
Yu Jing coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his body heavily crashing onto the ground in the distance.
Although his life was not in danger, under Ji Chen’s sword strike, Yu Jing was severely injured, losing the ability to fight.
"Second in the Ten Great Geniuses?"
Ji Chen stood calmly, looking at the severely injured Yu Jing who couldn’t get up, a sneer appeared on his face, "Weaker than I imagined."
"How is this possible..."
All around, the disciples of the Sword King Sect were dumbfounded, watching the events unfold before them in disbelief.
What in the world happened?
Even senior disciple Yu Jing, now was heavily injured by Ji Chen with one sword strike?
He was one of the Ten Great Geniuses, only second to Liu Qingcheng, the second young master in the Profound Domain, yet he was defeated by Ji Chen.
And he lost so thoroughly, with no ability to fight back at all.
Since when did Ji Chen’s strength grow to this extent?
Why, with such cultivation, has he never been ranked among the Ten Great Geniuses, and more importantly, no one in the Profound Domain ever knew his true strength!
"Sword King Sect, all you rear are these fools? How dare you claim to be a top-tier power in the Profound Domain?"
Ji Chen stood outside the mountain gate of the Sword King Sect, facing everyone alone.
Hearing his words, the faces of all the disciples of the Sword King Sect turned unsightly.
But by now, no one dared stand up to retort.
After all, even Yu Jing lost, heavily injured by Ji Chen’s single sword strike, if they dared to step forward, their end might be even worse than Yu Jing’s.
"Young man, don’t be too arrogant. You do have some strength, but not enough to look down on my Sword King Sect like this."
At this moment, a cold snort echoed from within the Sword King Sect.
Then, flashes of light appeared, and nine figures emerged one after another.
Among them was Hong Cheng. These nine people were indeed elders of the Sword King Sect, powerful individuals with cultivation at the Returning Ruins Realm level.
All nine stood with hands behind their back, releasing their auras, the combined momentum of nine Returning Ruins Realm powerhouses caused the void to darken slightly.
Under this oppressive aura, all the Sword King Sect disciples present involuntarily changed their expressions, as if a mountain was weighing down on the Sword King Sect, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"Finally appeared?" Ji Chen met the gaze of the nine, calm and composed.
"We just don’t want people to criticize, saying our Sword King Sect bullies the weak. Otherwise, how could you act recklessly here today?"
Hong Cheng snorted coldly, stepping forward first, as he spoke, the aura of a Returning Ruins Realm powerhouse on him became even more terrifying, continuously pressuring Ji Chen.
Ji Chen sneered disdainfully, quietly using the Supreme Scripture, facing this oppression, he remained unaffected.
"Truly underestimated you, didn’t expect you to remain so calm in front of us." Hong Cheng squinted his eyes.
"Stop wasting words with him, just capture him."
At the same time, another elder stepped up, his name was Wan Quan, known as the Venerable Wan, renowned in the Profound Domain for many years, now his cultivation had reached the second layer of the Returning Ruins Realm.
"Boy, do you know what kind of fate awaits you once you fall into the hands of my Sword King Sect?"
Wan Quan’s face carried a sneer, speaking while his aura grew even stronger.
"Noisy!"
Ji Chen sneered, not engaging in futile words, he used his finger as a sword, without hesitation pointing towards the sky.
Phantom Sword Technique was unleashed again, a purple sword light shot up into the sky, tearing through the air, slashing towards Wan Quan with force.
"Is it a Profound Tier Martial Technique..."
Wan Quan coldly snorted, he had to admit, Ji Chen’s sword was indeed extraordinary, but to him, it was negligible.
"Crack!"
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Wan Quan’s large hand reached out, then pinched in the air, directly shattering Ji Chen’s sword light.
He stood with hands behind his back again, looking down at Ji Chen, "You’re merely at the Spirit Transformation Realm, what waves can you make in front of me?"
