Chapter 192 I Have Made Sufficient Preparations, You Have No Chance Of Winning
Su Chen's expression became serious.
Zhang Zhiwei is known as the strongest sword cultivator within hundreds of miles, there must be a reason for it.
Facing such a formidable enemy, Su Chen absolutely cannot underestimate him.
In his thoughts, Zhang Zhiwei had already leaped into the air.
His long sword slashed, and the sword qi was gentle like water.
Su Chen's eyes suddenly turned light blue.
The Unbounded Spirit Eyes were activated.
However, within that gentle sword qi, Su Chen couldn't find any flaws.
Su Chen's heart trembled slightly, and he swung his Longquan Sword in an arc to defend.
The two long swords collided, producing a sound of metal clashing.
As their sword qi collided, Zhang Zhiwei was slightly surprised.
Although Su Chen only had the strength of the Triple Soul Formation Realm, his sword qi was almost as pure and sharp as his own.
Is this guy really at the Triple Soul Formation Realm?
The two figures flew through the air, fighting in a way that was difficult to distinguish. Their sword qi clashed and canceled each other out.
Su Chen also had some admiration for Zhang Zhiwei.
If it were someone else with a two-realm difference, they would definitely let their guard down.
But Zhang Zhiwei was very serious, and his entire attack had no flaws at all.
Even when Su Chen used the Unbounded Spirit Eyes, he couldn't find the slightest flaw in Zhang Zhiwei.
Moreover, Zhang Zhiwei's sword qi was gentle like water.
Su Chen's sword qi was cold and sharp.
When these two types of sword qi collided, they almost completely canceled each other out.
Su Chen's originally sharp sword qi had no room to display itself in front of Zhang Zhiwei's sword qi.
No matter how fierce Su Chen's sword qi flew out, it was still almost completely devoured by Zhang Zhiwei's sword qi.
A touch of seriousness appeared in Su Chen's eyes.
If they continued like this, Su Chen would definitely lose.
In terms of consuming spiritual energy, Su Chen's Triple Soul Formation Realm was definitely not as profound as Zhang Zhiwei's Quintuple Soul Formation Realm.
Su Chen took a step back and retracted his sword qi.
At the same time, Zhang Zhiwei also retracted his sword qi.
Both of them stood still, silent.
The people around were dumbfounded.
"How come the Triple Soul Formation Realm and the Quintuple Soul Formation Realm are still evenly matched?"
"Yeah, shouldn't it be a one-sided crushing?"
"Look at their appearance, it seems like both of them are being cautious and not daring to attack easily."
"Well, that's good. Now it's interesting."
The people around were discussing.
Many people believed that the two sides were evenly matched, equally strong!
But Tang Yuyan's eyes showed a trace of worry.
As an elite disciple of the major sect on the mountain, Tang Yuyan's insight and vision were unmatched by the others present. She had long seen that Zhang Zhiwei's sword qi happened to restrain Su Chen's sword qi.
Softness overcomes hardness.
Su Chen's sword qi was extremely sharp, while Zhang Zhiwei's sword qi was gentle like water.
In this way, Su Chen couldn't break through Zhang Zhiwei's defense.
If the competition continued like this, Su Chen would definitely lose.
A servant girl raised her head and saw the worried expression on Tang Yuyan's face.
She curiously asked, "Miss, will Su Chen lose this match?"
Tang Yuyan nodded.
"Zhang Zhiwei's sword qi happens to restrain Su Chen's sword qi. In this way, Su Chen cannot break through Zhang Zhiwei's defense. If it's purely a matter of consuming spiritual energy, Su Chen is definitely not Zhang Zhiwei's match."
As she spoke, Tang Yuyan glanced at Wang Longye.
Wang Longye was smiling smugly.
"It seems that Wang Longye has made sufficient preparations this time. The order of this competition should have been deliberately arranged by him."
The servant girl looked at Wang Longye with disdain.
"I really dislike that sword cultivator from the Sword Sect. He always seems too arrogant, making it hard for people to like him."
Tang Yuyan nodded.
"Unfortunately, in this world, the strong are respected."
After saying that, she sighed.
At this moment, Wang Longye looked at Su Chen with a mocking expression.
"If you can't win, why persist? Why waste so much spiritual energy?"
"How can someone at the third level of the Soul Formation stage defeat someone at the fifth level of the Soul Formation stage?"
Wang Longye's eyes were full of disdain.
The people around saw Wang Longye speaking and echoed.
"Yeah, why embarrass yourself here?"
"There's no suspense in this competition at all."
"If it were me, I would have given up long ago. It's better to use this time to cultivate instead of wasting it here."
For a moment, the spectators burst into laughter.
Su Chen listened to the mocking laughter, his heart calm as water.
His Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart had reached the pinnacle.
His state of mind was extremely pure.
Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Su Chen and said, "If you continue like this, you will definitely lose. Why not surrender now?"
"If you persist, when your spiritual energy is depleted, it will also have an impact on your cultivation."
"This is just a normal competition. Since your strength is not enough, come back next time."
Su Chen tightened his grip on the Dragon Fountain Sword, with sword energy swirling around it.
He smiled and said, "How can you know if you don't try?"
Zhang Zhiwei sighed and said, "I watched your competition yesterday. Challenging opponents of a higher level, I have to admit it was impressive."
"Moreover, from today's competition, I can see that your understanding of sword energy surpasses that of ordinary people."
"But the position of a disciple of the Sword Riding Sect has already been reserved by me. There is no one within a few hundred miles who is stronger than me. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and I will definitely not give it to you."
"And I have made sufficient preparations. You cannot defeat me."
Indeed, during the battle, Su Chen could feel that Zhang Zhiwei's every move was targeted at him.
Relying solely on sword moves, Zhang Zhiwei might not be able to defeat him.
But if Su Chen only defended and didn't attack, his spiritual energy would eventually be depleted.
Although this approach was somewhat unsportsmanlike, the onlookers only cared about the outcome.
Zhang Zhiwei smiled.
He released his own sword energy, and a huge sword formation appeared around Su Chen.
The sword formation enveloped Su Chen.
The sword energy within the formation was gentle like water, but it did not launch an attack on Su Chen.
Su Chen tried to use his sword energy to break through this sword formation.
However, no matter how Su Chen attacked, the sword energy could always block his attacks.
Zhang Zhiwei slowly said, "Have you ever heard of using softness to overcome hardness?"
Su Chen remained silent.
Indeed, this gentle sword energy was too restraining for him.
No matter how Su Chen used his sword energy to attack, it would be nullified.
The battle reached a stalemate.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it was extremely exciting.
The intertwining sword energy appeared particularly spectacular to those who had not yet reached the third level of the Soul Formation stage.
"It seems that Su Chen is going to lose. He can't break through Zhang Zhiwei's fifth level Soul Formation sword formation."
"I knew he couldn't win. It's just a waste of time."
"Let's get ready for the next match. I want to go watch it."
"Seriously, it's a waste of half a day. What's the point? It's just a one-sided suppression. From beginning to end, Su Chen's sword energy never broke through Zhang Zhiwei's sword energy."
Complaints could be heard from the surroundings.
Almost everyone believed that the outcome of the battle was already determined.
Based solely on the depth of spiritual energy, Su Chen couldn't possibly win.
However, at this moment, a dragon's roar erupted from within the sword formation.
Su Chen held the Dragon Fountain Sword in his hand.
The sword energy on the Dragon Fountain Sword seemed to have condensed into the spirit of a dragon.
Then, Su Chen flew up and came soaring through the air.
A massive strike directly cleaved towards the sword formation.
