A Chaotic World

Chapter 333: Defeating Chengban

Lu Tianzi's own sword light devoured the numerous beams of sword light coming its way as it headed straight towards Chengban.

The attendees of the wedding banquet fell into a deep silence, many of them furrowing their brows as they cast glances of confusion towards Lu Tianzi.

Wasn't he a user of the Law of Water?

While there were many people who were able to comprehend multiple world laws, that usually came after decades or centuries of experience.

However, Chengban's opponent appeared pretty young, perhaps even younger than Chengban himself.

Or was the youthful appearance just an act?

After all, it was not too difficult for martial artists to retain their youthful looks after breaking through to the Origin Core realm.

Only those at the level of elders managed to break things down further, seeing through the essence behind Lu Tianzi's sword strike.

To them, it was obvious that Lu Tianzi was still not used to utilising his comprehensions into the Law of Swords. However, it could be seen that he was pursuing a level of comprehension that was far higher than that of Chengban, combining both the sword's piercing power and absolute control over the weapon.

If comprehensions into the Law of Swords was divided into layers of different difficulty, what Lu Tianzi was doing would be akin to skipping past the elementary layer to jump straight to the second layer.

Even if he only managed to comprehend a wisp of its essence, it would still be sufficient to deal with someone who had a much deeper comprehension into a lower level of the world law.

The only question was... how did he manage to touch upon a higher level of the world law without any comprehensions into the lower levels?

Lu Tianzi's crude way of utilising the Law of Swords served as an indicator that their guesses were correct Lu Tianzi had only managed to comprehend the Law of Swords through this battle with Chengban!

Since that was the case, there were only two possibilities for this to happen.

Lu Tianzi was either extremely lucky, or he was extremely talented.

If it was the former, then so be it.

But if it was the latter, then they had to seriously reconsider how they treat this seemingly random martial artist.

Perhaps they could even lead the situation towards recruiting him as a sect member!

Chengban's eyes also widened in disbelief when he saw Lu Tianzi's sword light overpowering his Ten Thousand Swords Possession.

However, that alone was not enough to fluster him.

As Lu Tianzi's sword light approached him, Chengban slashed out with the Cloud Splitter to block it head on.

Bang-!

Lu Tianzi's sword light might have been able to crush the numerous sword light from Chengban, but the same could not be said when it was faced with the Cloud Splitter itself.

Against the might of the Cloud Splitter, It only lasted for a few brief moments before finally dissipating into thin air.

Yet despite having blocked Lu Tianzi's attack with relative ease, Chengban's expression was still incredibly ugly.

Just like his teacher Elder Yinghe, Chengban had also detected traces of comprehensions into the Law of Sword in Lu Tianzi's earlier sword strike.

Had that bastard been holding back all along?

The prideful Chengban felt his face turn red from embarrassment.

At this moment, he could not help but feel that his opponent had been toying with him up till now, trying to make a mockery of him in front of all the guests present.

How could he ever take this lying down?

"You are courting death!" Chengban roared in anger.

This time, Chengban no longer only used the Ten Thousand Swords Possession to attack. Instead, he charged towards Lu Tianzi, driving his origin core to the limit as he slashed out domineeringly with the Cloud Splitter.

He no longer wanted to drag things out, putting all of his strength behind this one strike in a bid to end things once and for all!

Sensing a deep killing intent coming from Chengban, Lu Tianzi narrowed his eyes in focus.

No matter what, Chengban was still a core disciple of a powerful influence in the Divine Storm Sect.

There was a high chance that Chengban would possess some sort of life-saving trump card that was capable of completely turning the fight around in a single move.

Even so, Lu Tianzi did not cower.

Just like how Chengban had slashed out with the Cloud Splitter, Lu Tianzi similarly struck with his Moon Culler.

He was still trying to refine his utilisation of the Law of Swords, and what better opportunity to do so than in a battle against Chengban who was an accomplished sword user?

The stronger Chengban's attack was, the more he could learn from it!

As the two swords were about to collide, numerous sword light burst out from the Cloud Splitter once more, heading straight towards Lu Tianzi.

"Watch out!" Bocheng warned anxiously through voice conveyance.

Even Nanlan Qianxue could not help but clench her fists nervously when she witnessed this scene.

The distance between the two of them was simply too short right now, and the blockade of weapons from earlier was not going to make it in time to block the beams of sword light!

Would Lu Tianzi be able to defend himself at this distance?

No one believed so.

"This is more like it," Elder Yinghe nodded in approval, and the other elders of the Divine Storm Sect similarly let out a breath of relief.

No matter what was the cause of this conflict, none of them wanted to see one of their core disciples suffer a defeat at a celebratory event like this that was graced by so many esteemed guests present.

But right at this moment, numerous beams of sword light suddenly appeared before Lu Tianzi, firing straight towards Chengban as well!

"What?!"

"This is...!"

The attendees of the wedding were shocked as they instantly recognised these beams of sword light that Lu Tianzi had just summoned.

They were identical to the beams sword light from Chengban's Ten Thousand Swords Possession!

***

After Lu Tianzi advanced to the Origin Core realm, his mastery over the Limitless Mirror Eye had improved drastically as well.

Under the effect of the Limitless Mirror Eye, he had been able to see through the trajectories of every single beam of sword light from Chengban, allowing him to defend against them without much trouble.

At the same time, the spatial powers of his Limitless Mirror Eye had also improved by a notch.

Previously, he was only able to instantly move items or projectiles through a temporary separate space, summoned into existence for just a few moments.

But after gaining access to energy of a higher quality in the form of Origin Force, Lu Tianzi was now able to maintain the existence of this separate space for a far longer period before running out of energy.

Using his Limitless Mirror Eye, Lu Tianzi had been storing beams of sword light in his separate space since the start of the fight.

That was the reason why those beams of sword light that had gone past his defence seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

And now they had reappeared once more, just that their direction had been reversed after going through Lu Tianzi's separate space!

Bang-! Bang-! Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!

Two waves of sword light, one from Lu Tianzi and one from Chengban, collided fiercely in mid-air, neutralising each other out completely.

In the midst of these collisions, the Cloud Splitter and Moon Culler smashed against each other.

Bang-!

The collision this time was unlike any of those before.

Even with Elder Yinghe's layer of protection, the collision of the two swords gave birth to a storm of energy that caused the red banners hung on the ceiling to flutter wildly. Even the tables below were slightly rattled, the teacups and plate trembling from the vibrations in the air.

The two swords were stopped in place, neither of them able to move forward an inch.

"Screw you!" Chengban roared in rage.

He had gone all out on this attack, incorporating all of his strength and utilising his Law of Swords.

Yet he was only able to come out even with his opponent?

With a country bumpkin who was three Origin Cycles below him?

No!

He refused to accept this!

There was no way this could be happening to him!

"Watch out!" Elder Yinghe's call for caution snapped Chengban out of his daze.

He looked up in horror as a sabre slashing down towards him.

That's right.

Chengban might be a sword user, but Lu Tianzi was a dual sword and sabre user!

Lu Tianzi might have only used his sword in the earlier clash, but there was absolutely no rule stopping him from using both his weapons in the fight!

Chengban felt his blood run cold.

He had noticed the attack too late, and there were no longer any ways for him to defend himself in time.

All he could do was gather his Origin Force where the sabre was about to strike, trying to mitigate as much of the damage as possible.

If he was lucky, he could get away with just a grievous injury.

Otherwise...

"Stay your hand!" Elder Yinghe shouted anxiously when she realised the situation that Chengban was in.

With a wave of her hand, an immense pressure swept over Lu Tianzi.

Against this immense pressure, Lu Tianzi was left utterly helpless.

Not to mention continue with his attack, he could not even remain flying. As if that was not enough, he felt as though every single one of his internal organs was being squeezed right now, all of them just a single step away from bursting.

Pu-!

He spat out a mouthful of blood before falling from the air.

It was not until he was just about to hit the ground that this pressure was lifted, allowing him to hurriedly gather himself and land safely on the floor.

Even so, he had already suffered light internal injuries in that few moments, and his body hurt just from standing.

Aside from the pain, Lu Tianzi's entire body was trembling in fear as well.

He might have experienced a battle at the Overlord realm when he was living through Lord Er's memories, but this was the first time that he had experienced it with his own body.

As expected, there was absolutely no way for the current him to even resist.

So this was the strength of an Overlord realm martial artist!

Apart from his heavy breaths, the entire main hall was dead silent.

Chengban was still frozen in place, seemingly unable to accept the fact that he just narrowed escaped death.

Elder Yinghe was gritting her teeth, humiliated by the fact that she was forced to act against a junior in front of all the esteemed guests present.

As for everyone else, with the exception of Nanlan Qianxue, not a single one of them could believe the outcome of the fight.

While there had been surprises along the way, all of them had thought that Chengban's victory was just a matter of time.

But now, all of them had been proven wrong.

With a disadvantage of three full Origin Cycles, this martial artist whom everyone had thought to be overestimating himself had overthrown all expectations.

He actually defeated Chengban, a core disciple of the Divine Storm Sect!
