Chapter 275: Strength, Beyond Expectations

On the other side, Gu Miaoyan, far away from Li Tai’a, was also shaken by the soaring sword intent.

“Look at you, only in the Celestial Immortal Realm and already comprehending such a formidable sword intent. Aren’t you embarrassed, Immortal King?” Gu Miaoyan’s voice came through.

Li Tai’a looked speechless, “Just basking in the sun far away is fine, but now you’re mocking me with that tone?”

Gu Miaoyan raised an eyebrow, “Is this mockery? It’s the truth.”

After speaking, Gu Miaoyan soared into the air toward the isolated island where Chen Ansheng was.

Li Tai’a sighed to himself, “It seems I’m really not this woman’s type; her mind is all on Chen, never mind, there are plenty of beauties everywhere, can’t I just retreat?”

Li Tai’a, the dignified Immortal King and a man of great experience, surely wouldn’t let a woman create a rift between him and a genius like Chen Ansheng.

That was his future support!

On the island, Chen Ansheng withdrew his sword intent and calmly gazed at the emerald lake before him.

“Hahaha, congratulations, Chen! You’ve comprehended this unrivaled sword intent.”

Li Tai’a cheerfully approached to congratulate him.

“A casually picked sword technique doesn’t qualify as unrivaled,” Chen Ansheng chuckled.

Li Tai’a silently cursed, “Damn it, are you truly being humble, or just putting on a show?”

This sword intent was of higher quality than his own, and he claimed it was casual? Clearly just showing off!

“This sword intent, paired with your unexpectedly reemerged sword technique, will surely be unmatched. Even against someone in the mid-Celestial Immortal stage, you won’t be at a disadvantage. What are you being humble about, kid?” Li Tai’a laughed.

Beside them, Gu Miaoyan coldly said, “Nonsense. By your reasoning, the Celestial Immortal Realm is child’s play? Chen Ansheng is just at the initial stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm. Even if he comprehended powerful sword intent, it wouldn’t be enough to fight someone in the mid-Celestial Immortal stage!”

The gap in realms was hard to bridge.

Moreover, the higher the foundational realm, the more pronounced the gap.

When Chen Ansheng was in the Profound Immortal realm, he could barely match a late Profound Immortal by relying on dual cultivation of law and martial arts along with some unexpected tactics.

Reaching the Celestial Immortal realm, crossing realms to fight became at least ten times harder!

Thus, Gu Miaoyan didn’t believe Li Tai’a’s words at all, thinking he was just flattering Chen Ansheng.

Li Tai’a believed he was serious, so he said with a straight face, “Goddess Gu, you are now at the mid-Celestial Immortal realm, why not spar with Chen to see who’s superior?”

“No way, no way, I’m no match for General Gu. Besides, General Gu is injured. Don’t put yourself at risk,” Chen Ansheng waved his hand.

Gu Miaoyan smiled lightly, “Looks like you care about me. But don’t worry, I’ll only use 30% of my strength to test your sword intent.”

“Really going to do it?” Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow, and a battle intent ignited in his eyes!

Gu Miaoyan had been the best below the Immortal King, and even though her realm had fallen, she was still far from a typical mid-Celestial Immortal!

If he could last ten moves against her, it would be enough to handle an ordinary mid-Celestial Immortal! As for the early Celestial Immortal? He could definitely defeat them instantly.

“Come!”

Gu Miaoyan also wanted to see just how strong Chen Ansheng’s newly comprehended sword intent really was.

“Watch out, General Gu!”

Chen Ansheng wasted no time, his sword intent surged.

The sound of a sword resonated, shaking the very earth, as the entire Storm Spirit Abyss transformed into a realm of swords.

“Good, this sword intent is indeed higher in quality than some worthless Immortal Kings’ sword intents!”

Gu Miaoyan couldn’t help but mock Li Tai’a at that moment as she gathered her celestial power in her palm, preparing to shatter Chen Ansheng’s violent sword intent with one blow.

Boom!

With one palm strike, the rolling celestial power trembled the space.

Whoosh!

Chen Ansheng condensed a sword intent and charged forward.

“Boom!”

The forces collided, erupting into a thunderous roar.

The violent energy recoiled, causing Gu Miaoyan to be pushed back over a hundred feet!

While Chen Ansheng remained utterly still.

“What!”

Gu Miaoyan’s eyes widened, her heart racing.

She had actually fallen short in that counterattack!

The strength of that sword intent was far beyond her expectations!

Chen Ansheng himself did not anticipate that his unleashed sword intent would possess such power!

“Truly worthy of the ancient sword techniques. Its might is indeed extraordinary, haha!”

Chen Ansheng felt a thrill of excitement within.

“Looks like I’ll need to use 80% of my strength to win against you!”

At that moment, Gu Miaoyan’s battle intent was also stoked, claiming she would use 80% of her strength, but in reality, she was preparing to unleash her full power to defeat Chen Ansheng.

Whoosh…

Celestial power surged, and a storm brewed.

Gu Miaoyan transformed into a beam of celestial brilliance, charging towards Chen Ansheng.

“Come on!”

The overwhelming pressure caused Chen Ansheng to stagger back a few steps.

Then, he fully unleashed his celestial power, summoning the amplitude sword sheath.

Draw sword!

Clang!

With the enhancement of the amplitude technique, the power of the sword intent surged dramatically.

“Take this!”

Chen Ansheng thrust out that sword intent, colliding with Gu Miaoyan’s protective celestial power.

Bang!

The protective celestial power instantly exploded, and the sword intent surged straight toward Gu Miaoyan’s head.

“Drink!”

Sensing the danger, Gu Miaoyan unleashed her full power, slapping toward that sword intent.

The sword intent withstood Gu Miaoyan’s attack for about three breaths before it shattered with a loud bang.

“Good opportunity!”

As the sword intent broke, Gu Miaoyan unleashed dozens of palms, aiming to completely crush Chen Ansheng.

Beside them, Li Tai’a shook his head, “The gap is not small, Goddess Gu, admit defeat.”

These words made Gu Miaoyan feel greatly displeased, almost wanting to curse him out.

But the next moment, she seemed to remember something, her pupils constricted, and fear surged!

“No, his sword intent can be reconstituted!”

By the time she realized, it was too late.

Around her celestial body, a terrifying sword intent spread; just a slight movement would guarantee her being pierced into mincemeat by that sword intent.

She had lost.

Gu Miaoyan didn’t even think of struggling and directly withdrew her celestial power.

“Truly impressive, I concede.”

“General Gu, I accept your defeat.”

Chen Ansheng withdrew the sword intent, and Gu Miaoyan fell from the air.

This battle ended too quickly, lasting only about ten breaths.

“You lost fairly. Chen, you didn’t even use any spells. If it were a real fight, the first strike would have cut you down,” Li Tai’a said.

“Does this lord not know? Do you have to point that out? Get lost!” Gu Miaoyan rolled her eyes.

But in her heart, she also admitted that Li Tai’a was completely correct.

In a real fight to the death, both parties would be aiming for a kill strike; there wouldn’t be room to struggle.

Realizing his battle power, Chen Ansheng felt elated.

Ten years ago, he viewed Gu Miaoyan as an unapproachable existence. He never expected that a decade later, she would be defeated by him!

This feeling…was exhilarating!

“If that’s the case, I can consider my strength as unmatched in the mid-Celestial Immortal stage!”

In the future, if he combined it with his Merging Elements Demonic Art, killing a mid-Celestial Immortal would yield two or three hundred years of cultivation energy; wouldn’t that mean breaking through as easily as drinking water?

The realm of the Immortal King was within reach!
