Chapter 543: Chapter 543
In order to deal with Lin Chen, Bai Ling actually brought out the Slaying Immortal Sword.
From the audience stand, bursts of exclamations erupted, as the disciples of the Kunlun Sect were very familiar with the Slaying Immortal Sword—it was the Kunlun's sect-defining ultimate technique.
Now that Bai Ling had displayed the sect's ultimate technique, it was clear that he had murderous intentions towards Lin Chen.
A ferocious expression was plastered across Bai Ling's face as he held the illusionary ice sword in his hand, with the cold chill emanating from the blade.
"Lin Chen, now I will let you know the true might of our Kunlun martial arts' Slaying Immortal Sword!"
As soon as the words fell, Bai Ling let out a fierce shout and drew a mysterious arc with the ice sword in the air. In the next instant, accompanied by the sound of the sword's cry, a cold streak of Sword Qi slashed across the sky, carrying terrifying Spiritual Power fluctuations as it fiercely thrust towards Lin Chen.
Wherever the ice sword passed, cracks appeared on the ground of the dueling arena, which then rapidly spread outwards.
Looking at this shocking destructive power, the audience was in an uproar. The Slaying Immortal Sword was so powerful—how would Lin Chen respond?
Against such a formidable onslaught, the most rational approach would be to evade its cutting edge, but to everyone's surprise, Lin Chen not only did not dodge, but his body rushed out swiftly instead.
Seeing Lin Chen charging towards the sword light, the audience gasped, "Is this guy insane? He's actually going head-to-head with Bai Ling's Slaying Immortal Sword."
Lin Chen's body rushed towards the Slaying Immortal Sword as fast as lightning.
Many people closed their eyes, thinking this guy was courting death.
However, just as the Slaying Immortal Sword was about to pierce Lin Chen, he suddenly vanished into thin air.
"This, how is this possible!" Everyone was stunned by this scene.
And in the next instant, Lin Chen had already appeared right in front of Bai Ling!
"Damn! How did he get through my Slaying Immortal Sword's attack?" Bai Ling exclaimed in surprise.
A wave of shock also went through the audience, as this guy had actually dodged the attack of the Slaying Immortal Sword!
"How is this possible, the Slaying Immortal Sword's attack had sealed off all his escape routes.
"He must have used a spatial ability just now!"
A white-haired elder spoke in a grave tone.
"Spatial attribute? That's right, Lin Chen also possesses a spatial attribute."
Bai Ling was greatly alarmed and quickly retreated.
But at that moment, the Purple Flame Golden Fire in Lin Chen's palm had already fiercely smashed into him.
"Idiot, your Purple Flame Golden Fire may be strong, but it can't harm me," Bai Ling snorted coldly, retreating as an ice shield congealed in front of him.
A mass of Purple Flame Golden Fire heavily bombarded the ice shield.
However, Lin Chen's attack did not inflict any damage on Bai Ling's ice shield.
Seeing this, many people shook their heads. Bai Ling's Xuan Ice and Lin Chen's Purple Flame Golden Fire were mutually restraining, and due to the difference in their levels, it was certain that it wouldn't harm Bai Ling.
"Idiot, the Purple Flame Golden Fire was just a smokescreen. The real attack is still to come.
From within the flames, a figure holding the Thunder Sword flashing with lightning suddenly charged out.
At this moment, the Purple Flame Golden Fire on Lin Chen's body had already disappeared, and his entire body was wrapped in a faint layer of electricity.
"How is this possible, isn't Lin Chen a fire attribute?"
"No, that's the Spiritual Power of the metal attribute on him!"
"Could it be that he possesses dual attributes!"
When people realized that Lin Chen actually had metal attribute Spiritual Power, they were all stunned.
Dual attributes are extremely impressive in the world of abilities, considered to be a genius among geniuses.
Everyone had not expected that Lin Chen not only possessed the fire attribute but also had a powerful metal attribute.
While people were still in shock, Lin Chen's Thunder Sword had already heavily struck Bai Ling.
The ice shield suddenly shattered, and under the force of the thunder, Bai Ling was rigidly frozen in place.
After the Thunder Sword cleaved through the ice shield, it did not pause for a moment and continued to heavily hack towards Bai Ling.
At this moment, Bai Ling's face turned ashen. He had never expected that Lin Chen not only had a fire attribute but also possessed a potent lightning attribute.
Watching the Thunder Sword grow larger in his eyes, Bai Ling's face turned the color of ash.
"Ghost Spirit System, save me!" Bai Ling cried out in his heart.
The rapid increase in Bai Ling's strength was due to his possession of the Ghost Spirit System.
By sacrificing human hearts to the ghost spirits, he could then exchange them for corresponding rewards.
Although it was similar to Lin Chen's Popularity System, Lin Chen traded with popularity, while Bai Ling traded with human hearts.
"Tsk, tsk, don't worry, he can't kill you," the Ghost Spirit System said with a sinister laugh.
With the ghost spirit's assurance, Bai Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You think you want your system to save you? I won't give you that chance, Bai Ling."
Just as Bai Ling's heart had settled, Lin Chen's icy voice rang in his ears.
Almost in that instant, Lin Chen had activated the Time Law.
Three seconds were enough for an expert like Lin Chen to kill a person.
Lightning surged, and Lin Chen's Thunder Sword deeply pierced Bai Ling's chest.
When Bai Ling awoke, he found that Lin Chen's Thunder Sword was already in his chest.
Actually, the Popularity System had already detected the attributes of Bai Ling's Ghost Spirit System. As soon as Lin Chen knew that Bai Ling's system exchanged rewards for human hearts, he harbored the intent to kill him.
Bai Ling was at the Dan Yuan realm; considering that level of power, how many human hearts must he have used?
While with the Dragon Group, Lin Chen had heard about many wanderers and children going missing across China, their hearts all hollowed out. Now, it seemed likely that Bai Ling was behind those deeds.
"Ghost Spirit System, save me." As he felt his life slipping away, Bai Ling begged the Ghost Spirit System for help.
"You fool, even with my assistance you got yourself killed. You have no more value to me, wait—there's one last use for you, your heart, offer it as a sacrifice to me!"
Accompanied by a scream, Bai Ling's heart turned into a pool of blood and merged into the Ghost Spirit System.
"What rotten luck, now I need to find a new host," the Ghost Spirit System said helplessly, shaking its head as it escaped Bai Ling's body.
Just as it turned into a black streak trying to shoot into the sky, suddenly a net of light ensnared it.
The Ghost Spirit System was terrified.
"Young man, let me go, and I will serve you, make you strong, bring you wealth!"
Lin Chen's eyes flashed coldly: "I don't want your trash system, and I won't let you harm others!"
Within the net of light, golden light exploded, and the Ghost Spirit System instantly turned into nothingness.
As the Ghost Spirit System was annihilated by Lin Chen, Bai Ling's body also collapsed to the ground with a boom.
"He's dead, Bai Ling is actually dead!" Everyone's face wore an expression of disbelief.
When Bai Ling unleashed the Slaying Immortal Sword, everyone thought Lin Chen would be the one to die, and nearly no one expected Bai Ling would be the one to fall in the end.
In the spectator stands, Zhao Xiaowen finally let out a sigh of relief, her eyes brimming with hot tears.
"That's great, Brother Chen has won!" Tang Bao'er also cried tears of joy.
Zhao Xiaohua, Zhang Yu and others also wore looks of surprise on their faces.
In the stands, the spectating martial artists of extraordinary ability, Tian Jiao, were all shocked, their faces full of astonishment.
"Heavens, Lin Chen actually defeated Bai Ling!"
At this moment, Xiao Jian's face was filled with shock, staring dumbfounded at the corpse on the stage.
Having lost to Lin Chen a few days ago, Xiao Jian had remained unconvinced, but this time he was thoroughly convinced.
Lin Chen's defeat of Bai Ling represented the triumph of a dark horse, instantly setting the entire martial arts field abuzz and stirring the passion of countless youths.
"Lin Chen, you're too awesome."
"Lin Chen, you're the idol of us poor martial artists."
The entire arena was shouting Lin Chen's name. Everyone knew that the descendants of the eight great forces had always monopolized the position of seeded players, unshakable by anyone.
But this time, Lin Chen, a small farmer, had broken this seemingly iron rule, overcoming all obstacles, and with determination and perseverance, he had finally reached the pinnacle.
On the main stage, the real person in charge listened to the surrounding shouts, but his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a faint coldness appeared on his lips: "Lin Chen, it's not certain yet who the winner is!"
