95: Chapter 95 A Lightning-Fast Sword Displays Its Power

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent collisions reverberated continuously.

Amidst these fierce clashes, Zhang Gongjin's Aura grew increasingly formidable the more he fought.

The terrifying force of his blood energy surged, and sensing his strength rising, he actually began to launch a counteroffensive.

He smashed forward with strike after strike of his halberd.

Quickly wiping out the sky-full of Thundering Sword Qi, Zhang Gongjin rampaged forward, thrusting his heavy halberd fiercely out.

Boom!

The terrifying force ruptured the air itself.

Thrusting out with vicious force, sensing the power of his move, a triumphant smile flashed across Zhang Gongjin's eyes.

It had been a long time since he had met an opponent as formidable as Lin Shen; after the intense fight just now, his Battle Intent had gathered to the absolute limit.

This strike exerted one hundred percent of his terrifying power and strength.

He believed that as long as Lin Shen was hit by this strike—even if it merely grazed him—he would surely be killed or severely wounded.

Right at this moment, under Zhang Gongjin's smug gaze, Lin Shen did not retreat; instead, he advanced, the jinglei flying sword in his hand turning into a streak of light that shot out fiercely.

Terrifying thunder power and Sword Qi bloomed before rapidly condensing into a single point, shooting forth alongside the jinglei flying sword.

In an instant, the speed of the jinglei flying sword spiked to the extreme, carrying terrifying thunder power wrapped in exploding Sword Qi.

Dianche Sword Technique!

This sword strike was called Dianche Sword Technique!

By the time Zhang Gongjin reacted to this terrifying strike, it was already right in front of him.

The smugness in his eyes vanished completely, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down his temple.

Just as Zhang Gongjin prepared to defend himself, the speed of this Dianche Sword Technique strike surged drastically once more.

Fast—it was too fast!

The speed of this strike reached the ultimate limit.

Zhang Gongjin had no time to react at all; under his horrified and incredulous gaze, the jinglei flying sword plunged straight into his throat.

Splotch!

Scalding blood splattered out.

In the burning sunlight, it bloomed with an incomparably brilliant and eerie luster.

The jinglei flying sword traced a perfect arc in the air before returning to Lin Shen's hand.

Lin Shen gripped the jinglei flying sword. Zhang Gongjin's eyes widened as the life in them dissipated rapidly, and his body plummeted heavily from high in the sky, crashing hard onto the ground.

Boom!

A plume of dust swept up from the ground.

Immediately following was a violent boom.

This sudden turn of events instantly drew the eyes of everyone present.

Everyone stared at Lin Shen in complete disbelief, unable to trust their own eyes.

Zhang Gongjin was dead!

As a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator whose close-combat skills were unrivaled, Zhang Gongjin had actually died like this under Lin Shen's sword.

One must know that although Zhang Gongjin's master was merely at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm, Zhang Gongjin's own strength was formidable; in terms of raw combat power, he ranked among the top three among Foundation Establishment experts under fifty years old in the entire Shangyang Sect.

Yet someone as strong as Zhang Gongjin had died like this under Lin Shen's sword, pierced through the throat in a single strike before he could even react—how terrifying was Lin Shen's strength?

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

"Lin Shen, you actually killed Senior Brother Zhang! Do you intend to fight my Shangyang Sect to the bitter end?!"

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Shangyang Sect who were with Zhang Gongjin instantly roared in rage upon seeing this scene. Their eyes fixed dead on Lin Shen, murder intent oozing from their bodies.

Zhang Gongjin possessed formidable strength, and they had formed an alliance with him with great difficulty to search this Secret Realm together. In the end, before gaining any benefits, Zhang Gongjin had been killed by Lin Shen right in front of them.

Didn't this completely sever their hopes and opportunities of obtaining great Opportunities in this Secret Realm?

With Zhang Gongjin, the strongest combat power among them, now fallen, how could they not be infuriated?

"To the bitter end? Heh..."

Hearing this, Lin Shen let out a cold chuckle.

He shot forward, flicking his fingers violently, sending strands of Thundering Sword Qi raining down like a torrential downpour toward those Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Shangyang Sect.

There were rules among the Five Great Sects.

Upon entering a Secret Realm, one fought for Opportunities with life and death left to fate, and no one could hold grudges or pursue accountability afterward.

Yet these Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Shangyang Sect dared to threaten him—they were simply tired of living.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The sky-full of Thundering Sword Qi shot forth rapidly, arriving before those Foundation Establishment Cultivators in an instant, carrying terrifying killing intent.

Blossoms of blood splattered one after another.

In just a single instant, four Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Shangyang Sect fell dead, leaving only one Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Shangyang Sect who managed to deploy a protective treasure at the critical moment, blocking the overwhelming onslaught of Sword Qi.

Lin Shen's terrifying strength had long surpassed Cultivators of the same Realm; how could these mere Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators possibly block his fatal move?

"Lin Shen, how dare you!"

Watching his companions fall one after another before him, the remaining Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Shangyang Sect widened his eyes furiously and burst into an enraged roar.

Amid his angry roar, this Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Shangyang Sect did not think of running away, because he knew fleeing was useless.

He had seen Lin Shen strike; the sword strike Lin Shen used to kill Zhang Gongjin was far too fast. If he recklessly tried to run, he would definitely be killed effortlessly by Lin Shen.

His only option now was to fight with all his might.

Utilizing the treasure granted by his sect to clash head-on with Lin Shen—only in this way might there be a slim chance of survival.

Terrifying Spiritual Qi erupted from his body as this Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator of the Shangyang Sect violently activated a talisman in his hand, which instantly transformed into a massive ice spike that plunged fiercely toward Lin Shen.

This massive ice spike was hundreds of zhang long, completely blocking off every surrounding direction, as if it were about to smash Lin Shen to pieces in the next instant.

Sensing the terrifying power of this attack, Lin Shen did not dare be careless. His body flickered swiftly, directly grabbing the Cultivator closest to him and hurling him forward violently to block the front.

Boom!

A massive explosion echoed out.

Before that unlucky Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator could even react or realize what was happening, he was blasted into powder by the huge ice spike, with not even a bone left behind.

After killing an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the massive ice spike continued to pierce toward Lin Shen, though its speed and momentum had diminished somewhat.

As it rushed forward, terrifying Thundering Sword Qi erupted from within Lin Shen's body. He swung the jinglei flying sword in his hand violently and executed a hand seal; the terrifying thunder power scattered around rapidly condensed into a single point, attaching directly onto the jinglei flying sword.

Awakening of Insects!

A strike of the Awakening of Insects Sword shot forth, the terrifying thunder power and Sword Qi shattering the air as it surged fiercely toward the massive ice spike.

In terms of speed, the Awakening of Insects Sword was far inferior to the Dianche Sword Technique, but in terms of explosive power and direct head-on confrontation, the Awakening of Insects Sword was far more suitable than the Dianche Sword Technique.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two collided high in the sky, intense explosive sound waves sweeping outward in all directions.
