Chapter 35

"Let's see how your sword can defeat me!"

Since he had already shown his sharpness, Ling Dao was determined to be sharp to the end. Even when facing Teng Shaofeng, he was confrontational and did not back down at all. His attitude and tone made Teng Shaofeng pause.

Having been the senior disciple for so long, Teng Shaofeng naturally had a bit of a high-and-mighty air. Especially when facing new disciples like Ling Dao, he looked down on them from the bottom of his heart. Among all the outer disciples, only one person was worth his attention, and that was Xia Xinruo, who had defeated him.

"You, who don't know the vastness of the sky and the earth, do you think defeating Lu Hong means you can fight me? What a joke! Now, let me show you what sword techniques are all about!"

Teng Shaofeng's words made Ling Dao involuntarily smile. In front of a sword genius like him, Teng Shaofeng dared to boast so much. Ling Dao's smile made Teng Shaofeng furious, and he immediately drew his fine steel sword.

"Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky!"

If the Nine Cuts to Split the Sky were just a relatively common sword technique among the outer disciples, then the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky were an extremely advanced sword technique. Among tens of thousands of outer disciples, only a few had mastered the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky.

The fine steel sword moved like a dragon or a snake, vigorous and lively. His sword technique carried a sharp and piercing aura, as if it could crush and cut through everything. His sword technique already had the flavor of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect; otherwise, how could he have been the senior disciple for so long?

"Truly worthy of being the second senior disciple, not only has he mastered the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky, but he also possesses such power. If I were to face him, I would probably be defeated in an instant!"

"That kid is probably no better. Does he really think that defeating the fifth senior disciple makes him invincible? When the second senior disciple dominated the outer disciples, he was probably still nowhere to be found!"

There were no shortage of outer disciples who admired Teng Shaofeng, and they naturally held him in high regard. Ling Dao, an unknown nobody, suddenly became famous among the outer disciples, which naturally made these outer disciples extremely jealous. Why weren't they as capable?

"Since you are so confident, I will defeat you with the same sword technique!"

Ling Dao had not practiced the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky, but for a sword technique of this level, he only needed to take a glance to be able to perform it. The Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky did not even qualify as a low-grade sword technique in Ling Dao's eyes. Moreover, he had already mastered the physical chapter of the Sky Splitting Sword Technique, from which the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky were derived.

"What? He also knows the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky?"

In the next moment, Ling Dao answered their doubts with his sword. Whatever move Teng Shaofeng performed, Ling Dao followed suit. Even though it was his first time performing the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky, he was not inferior to Teng Shaofeng at all.

It should be noted that since the start of the outer disciples' competition, Ling Dao had been suppressing his strength. Even now, facing Teng Shaofeng, he was still doing so. If he were to reveal his full strength, he would probably crush Teng Shaofeng outright.

If the elder in charge of the scripture hall were present, he would be even more shocked. Because Ling Dao had never practiced the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky, yet he performed it flawlessly. This learning ability was truly terrifying.

"Impossible! I have practiced the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky for so long. How can a new disciple like you reach such a level?"

The unyielding Teng Shaofeng once again performed the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky. His advantage was the fine steel sword in his hand, while Ling Dao only had an iron sword. He could clearly see that Ling Dao's iron sword already had several notches.

"Nothing is impossible!"

In Ling Dao's pupils, there was a man and a sword, practicing the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky. Earlier, when he performed the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky, he was merely imitating Teng Shaofeng. Now, his performance of the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky already had his own understanding.

With his sword talent and the experience from his previous life, the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky he now performed were naturally more powerful than Teng Shaofeng's. Each of his sword strikes was stronger than Teng Shaofeng's, and when he completed the Thirteen Cuts to Split the Sky, Teng Shaofeng had already retreated thirteen steps.

The outer disciples who were originally cheering for Teng Shaofeng were now all stunned. Even a fool could see that Ling Dao had been suppressing Teng Shaofeng the whole time, which was completely unscientific. Wasn't the second senior disciple the strongest?

"This is your fault! Die!"

For the first time, Teng Shaofeng was so embarrassed in public that he was truly angry. He let out a long cry, revealing his full strength. With one hand, he possessed the strength of eight thousand pounds, far surpassing the average physical realm. This was his proudest point, of course, if he knew Ling Dao's full strength, he would probably be shocked speechless.

Teng Shaofeng's sword strike was clearly different from before. The air in the arena seemed to be split in two by his sword. His feet stomped the ground, and dust swirled around him like a tornado.

The power of this sword strike was immense. With the strength Ling Dao was currently displaying, if he were to clash with this sword strike, he would definitely be sent flying along with his sword. Ling Dao had not yet planned to reveal his full strength, even against Teng Shaofeng.

"Shadowless!"

Ling Dao whispered, and then his sword turned into a bolt of lightning, thrusting out at the fastest speed. Teng Shaofeng only saw a blur before him, and then a sharp sword tip appeared in front of him. If Ling Dao had taken one more step, it would have been Teng Shaofeng's end.

"You have lost!"

This sword strike was so fast that not only did Teng Shaofeng not see it, but even the other outer disciples did not see it. Xie Ling'er, standing below the stage, had a strange light in her beautiful eyes.

"How could the second senior disciple lose? It must be fake!"

"Teng Shaofeng lost to that kid?"

"A useless person, I really don't understand how he could be the senior disciple for so long!"

The outer disciples and elders could not accept this result. They had seen Teng Shaofeng display his might and thought he would defeat Ling Dao with one sword strike, but it turned out to be this result. Their words made Teng Shaofeng's face turn green and white, and finally, his face became extremely distorted!

"I lost? If you die, would I still be considered defeated?"

With Teng Shaofeng's temperament, he could not bear such a public defeat. He gritted his teeth and decided to kill, immediately summoning his strongest power and thrusting a sword at Ling Dao's chest!

Killing Ling Dao on the spot, even if he were punished afterward, he did not care. It was just killing an outer disciple; with his master's influence in the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, he could be protected!
