C479 The Sight of It Was Appalling
"Elder Yang is looking for me to spar?" Upon seeing the elder walk out, a look of disbelief flashed across Ling Tianyu's face.
Earlier, when Sima Lie was dealing with Zhang Fan, he had already displayed his strength and triggered the sword intent all over his body. He did not expect this Elder Yang to have some guts and actually dare to challenge him directly.
"Hmph, rumours say that City Lord Ling is the king of the swords, but all of us have heard rumours and cannot be trusted. So, I want to personally experience it today to see if the rumors are true or not."
Elder Yang slowly walked forward with an exceptionally calm expression. From the looks of it, he seemed to be in charge of Ling Tianyu.
"Alright, since Elder Yang wants to see my strength, how can you not show it?" Ling Tianyu slowly walked towards the arena as well.
However, the surrounding people's voices of admonishment rang out.
"Senior, I think it's best for you to find that woman. If you were to compete with City Lord Ling, you will lose miserably."
"That's right. City Lord Ling is only one step away from becoming a Sword Saint. You won't be able to enter his three sword gleams."
Their words were like needles, causing Elder Yang's face to darken. If he couldn't even get a single three foot sword light from an initial Manifestation stage martial artist, then he would have lived his entire life in vain.
On the other side of the city, the eight generals were calm. They were well aware of Ling Tianyu's prowess, and they knew that if this old man were to fight against their master, he would simply be seeking death.
Fu Qing and Fu Ling were all smiling, waiting to see how Elder Yang would make a fool of himself.
"Old Yang, we support you!" The other elders of the ancient families cheered him on.
When the two of them stood in the middle of the dueling ring, the surroundings of the dueling ring immediately quieted down. They wanted to see Ling Tianyu's true strength, as well as his exceptional grace.
"Make the first move, just in case others say that I'm bullying the young." Elder Yang flung his sleeves as he placed his hands behind his back, looking extremely arrogant.
"You want me to make a move? "Are you sure?" Ling Tianyu couldn't help but be taken aback. This old man was truly adorable. He actually held himself back for the sake of face.
"Senior, it would be better if you made the first move. If you let the Lord make the first move, you won't be able to show off!" At this time, Yue Ming laughed, her voice resounded throughout the entire venue.
"That's right, the Mayor's strength is extraordinary. If you want him to make the first move, you won't even have the strength to resist!" Li Xun, Zhang Fan, and the others also echoed and the scene immediately became lively.
Elder Yang remained unmoved, but he was inwardly surprised. No one was worried about Ling Tianyu in the Ten Directions City. Could it be that this kid was really that strong?
However, he still said, "City Lord Ling, this old bone of mine can still withstand the torment. Make your move."
"Alright, since that's the case, senior should be careful!"
As soon as Ling Tianyu finished speaking, he immediately made his finger into a sword and executed the Manifestation Sword Art.
The three feet long sword light transformed into countless sword beams. Dozens of fierce beasts suddenly appeared on the martial arena. They roared again and again with great momentum.
"They are all ancient beasts!"
"This is City Lord Ling's Sword Qi Transformation. It's extremely powerful. This move actually has an aura that is not weaker than the sacred art."
The moment Ling Tianyu's sword move was released, it attracted everyone's attention. Especially the elders from the ancient families, they were secretly amazed.
To be able to unleash such power without using the sword, this young man was about to become a Sword Saint.
However, martial skills were still incomparable to divine abilities. Elder Yang took out an axe and with one blow, all of the beasts were destroyed.
"City Lord Ling, please use your innate technique. You don't need to use martial skills to fawn on me." Elder Yang held a black axe in his hand as he spoke with a dark expression.
"Senior's cultivation is profound, how could this junior possibly lie to you?" Ling Tianyu smiled faintly. He then took out the Devouring Spirit Sword and said, "Ever since I have stepped into the Dao, I have practiced this Manifestation Sword Art. If you can break through this move of mine today, it will be considered my loss."
It was unfortunate that a Wanxiang Adept could work with great effort. With their sword intent interlinked, they could naturally evolve into thousands of swords.
This was the main point Wan Qing told him about when the ten thousand swords returned to the sect.
Now, this Elder Yang had sought him out for a competition, giving him a chance to hone his skills and see if he could comprehend and return to the sect with ten thousand swords.
"Alright, you're the one who said that!" Hearing this, Elder Yang was overjoyed. Divine abilities versus martial arts, this was a 100% victory, ah.
The rest of them were extremely displeased as they listened to what he had said. They shouted, "City Lord Ling, you are throwing your weight around. What benefits did this old man Yang give you?"
Of course, their words were just to vent. With Ling Tianyu's wealth and strength, what benefits did he have to offer?
"Heh, since you all think so, you can challenge me later!" Ling Tianyu gave a faint smile. He activated the Manifestation Sword Art once again. Sword Qi swirled in the air as they swept towards Elder Yang.
When the battle began, everyone shut their mouths and watched.
This move of Ling Tianyu's was triggered by the Devouring Spirit Sword, making him significantly stronger than before. Even so, Elder Yang was still able to withstand it.
He waved his axe, and a powerful axe shadow appeared to destroy the Sword Qi.
However, Ling Tianyu's movement technique was extremely swift, and it was as though there was an endless flow of zhenqi flowing through his body. With just a sword and a sword, Elder Yang was only able to fend off the attacks.
Very quickly, the two of them had already fought for hundreds of rounds.
"What is City Lord Ling doing? Don't tell me he doesn't know how to use divine powers? " Some people began discussing from below.
"How could that be? On the World God Mountain, Mayor Ling obtained a high-grade divine ability."
"Then why does he continue to use martial skills?"
Everyone was puzzled. The people from the City Lord's Mansion were also confused. The only one who knew the inside story was Wan Qing.
She stared fixedly at Ling Tianyu and knew that he was tempering his sword intent in order to comprehend the sword art and the sacred art of the Myriad Swords Return to the sect.
Very soon, two hours passed. The competition was still as it was before. Ling Tianyu was still only using the Manifestation Sword Art, while Elder Yang only had the strength to resist.
It wouldn't be a problem if the time was short, but Elder Yang was growing impatient after such a long period of time.
"City Lord Ling, this is the only move that you can use to fight. Don't blame this old man for taking action."
Damn, after so long, this old man was still a little afraid of the strength of Ten Directions City, so he didn't use his full strength.
Upon hearing those words, Ling Tianyu suddenly stopped. A glint flashed across his eyes, and as though two sharp swords, he shot forward, causing Elder Yang's heart to tremble.
"Alright, come on. If you can block this move, then I will lose!"
Ling Tianyu grinned as he pulled back the Soul Devouring Sword. Suddenly, countless sword images appeared, abruptly condensing into swords that were exactly the same as the Soul Devouring Sword and emitting a cold light.
The sword intent that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, made everyone shudder.
Soon after, they heard Ling Tianyu yell, "Ten Thousand Swords, return!"
Boom …
Thousands of sword shadows shot towards Elder Yang like meteors catching up to the moon.
"Damn. What martial skill is this? Could it be a sword skill or technique?"
When everyone saw this, they all let out cries of surprise. So the reason why Ling Tianyu had been training his sword intent in order to comprehend this sacred art was indeed a genius.
A smile appeared on Wan Qing's face. Ling Tianyu's talent was indeed unparalleled. It was so strong that it could go against the heavens.
Although the Myriad Swords Return to Sect was not fully mastered, it was still quite a formidable ability.1
Elder Yang did not dare to resist the sword art. He quickly turned around and ran. However, his speed could not be compared to the ten thousand swords. In just a moment, the ten thousand swords had caught up to him.
"Senior, sorry for offending you!"
Ling Tianyu was very satisfied with the return of the ten thousand swords. He took out a pill and threw it into Elder Yang's mouth as an apology.
Even though Elder Yang was unhappy with the other party's strength, he couldn't do anything about it. Besides, who told him to choose the persimmon from the old granny?
Who would have thought that this soft persimmon was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and was even stronger than the others?
