Chapter 973

Ancient Race members possessed Original Methods, while average Human Clan Star Venerables didn’t possess the Four Qis’ offensive techniques like Jiang Chen . This wasn’t a strange matter because they were people who had reached the Ninth Constellation Palace but still hadn’t learned a Doctrine Method suitable for their Four Qi . However, just the Constellation Palace alone provided them with enough power and let them possess outstanding strength .

However, Star Venerables who possessed a Doctrine Method could instantly kill them as long as they were still at the same Realm Level . Since it was only a few people who had a Doctrine Method, they wouldn’t easily pass it to others .

It was only the Four Qis’ cultivation methods that had spread .

“Indiscernible Movement Technique!” The saint didn’t waste her breath and just used her Constellation Palaces’ power . At such a moment, she seemed like an elegant ice fairy, who was above all mortals . As the saint’s sword’s aura rose in intensity, Jiang Chen discovered that he couldn’t follow her with his eyes .

This wasn’t a matter achieved through great speed as the Holy Wings King had done; it was due to her Doctrine Method . This was a type of movement technique that would let her body be untouchable by all kinds of techniques . It was similar to the penetrative sword strike able to break all myriad techniques .

The untouchable body was the greatest state pursued by most people good at movement techniques . At such a stage, regardless of how ferocious were the enemies’ attacks, they could still walk around among them with ease .

Jiang Chen would have been able to use his penetrative sword strike able to break all techniques to defend against it, but his opponent possessed a Doctrine Embryo, which was why he wouldn’t be able to break her technique because he wasn’t powerful enough . The state of the battle changed, and he could now just suffer a beating because he couldn’t touch the saintess .

“Did you witness it clearly? This is the disparity between you and our saint . ” The young woman let out a breath . She had really assumed a moment ago that the battle would end up as a draw . However, she noticed that the people next to her weren’t as pleased as she was, and, after she gave it some thought, she realized the reason behind it . Even if the saint won, she still couldn’t brag about such a fight because Jiang Chen hadn’t even lit a single Constellation Palace .

Their saint was already at the Sixth Constellation Palace, and winning such a battle wasn’t a praiseworthy matter . Moreover, the fact that Jiang Chen could persist until now was stunning .

“It’s still not enough to defeat me . ” Jiang Chen still wouldn’t admit defeat, and he just took a deep breath . His body transformed, and he seemed then like a Buddhist Deity, yet he also seemed like a Thunder God .

When the saint attacked him with her sword move, she discovered that she was unexpectedly unable to penetrate his defenses .

“What great defensive power!” The All Beginnings Holy Land members were startled by such a sight .

Jiang Chen wasn’t able to break his opponent’s Doctrine Method, but he was still skilled enough to persist . Every sword move of Yao Xinyue was fiercer than the last . But, she was still just shaken when she attacked him .

Jiang Chen raised his right hand and held many lightning chains and controlled easily the berserk lightning . The lightning was quickly turned by him into a long spear, and, as he waved it around, a terrifying Alien Flame started spreading in the region .

The ten-mile-radius around him became a dangerous land, which one couldn’t step into . After just a short while, it spread to the 100-mile-radius around him . Such a region was moving along with him, and the untouchable saint started avoiding him .

“Indiscernible Sword Move!” While the crowd was shocked by Jiang Chen’s performance, the saint didn’t give up, and she used the same sword move as before . But this time, she used her Doctrine Method along with it, and even the lightning and fire couldn’t block it .

Her sword seemed like a bright moon rising among raging flames, and it quickly reached Jiang Chen and penetrated his chest .

“Well?”

Many people were scared by such a sight, as was also the case for the saint . Such a sword strike shouldn’t have been able to injure him this easily, unless Jiang Chen let it reach him on purpose . As a matter of fact, Jiang Chen had really done it on purpose, and he curled his mouth and revealed a complacent smile .

“Awful!”

Then other people noticed something and became worried and anxious . The lightning power on Jiang Chen’s body rose in intensity as they expected . If the saint could be described as a bright moon, then the current Jiang Chen was like a scorching sun . The sun’s radiance overshadowed the moonlight and engulfed the saint .

She was sent flying in front of the crowd’s worried gazes .

Jiang Chen had finally managed to vent his anger, and he felt refreshed all over after he went through this fight . Such an opponent was rarely found, and he really hoped that she would grow stronger quickly because if she couldn’t do it, his power would quickly surpass her .

Yao Xinyue stood firmly, while wearing a complex expression on her face . Jiang Chen had managed to break her Doctrine Method . He was obviously a person who possessed an outrageous defensive power .

Several questions couldn’t help but emerge in her mind and they were: What was this guy? Where did he come from?

“I was defeated!” After a long while, Yao Xinyue spoke .

“It’s a draw . ” Jiang Chen stroked the injury on his chest . Blood was still flowing from it . “It’s a draw because you have hesitated a moment ago . ”

Those words were true because Jiang Chen had allowed his opponent to penetrate his body . If he hadn’t repelled her in time, then once the sword started wreaking havoc on his body, he wouldn’t be just defeated, he would have died .

With the level of the saint’s sword techniques, she could have let her peerless sword strike’s might erupt the instant she struck him successfully . However, she didn’t want to kill him, and that was why she hesitated for less than a second . But such a short time was enough for Jiang Chen to release his terrifying power .

“Since you dared to let me stab you, it’s obvious that even if I allowed my power to erupt, you were confident that you would end up with just severe injuries . At that time, you also wouldn’t be able to control its power, and I would also be heavily injured,” the saint said .

“It’s really refreshing to talk with smart people . ” As Jiang Chen spoke, he cast a glance at the young woman . The young woman was infuriated, but she found herself at a loss for words .

“I’m still occupied with something else . If you have time next time, let’s compete once again,” Jiang Chen said .

“Don’t you want us to compensate you for the ship?”

“Didn’t you also lose your ship?” Jiang Chen chuckled . He didn’t really care about the ship and just wanted to give vent to his anger . Since he had already given vent to it, he didn’t need to care about it any longer .

He’s really a strange person, the All Beginnings Holy Land members thought inwardly .

Since he’s this young, he will obviously manage to light many Constellation Palaces, and once he learns a Doctrine Method, won’t he be…

“There are always people more talented than oneself in this vast world,” an All Beginnings Holy Land disciple muttered .

“Why are you speaking for an outsider and praising him,” the young woman spoke in displeasure . “Even if he can light a Doctrine Palace, he won’t necessarily manage to get a Doctrine Method, and there will still be a great disparity between him and our senior sister . ”

Since she was this prejudiced, the other people didn’t bother with arguing with her . They were all clearly aware that it would be easy for such an outstanding person to get a Doctrine Method .

… . .

It was unknown how news about this battle spread, but it still gave rise to a great commotion in the Three Middle Realms . However, since they didn’t get comprehensive info about this matter, they only knew that the All Beginnings Holy Land’s saintess had run into a powerful opponent in the Great Desolate Land, and when they ended up locked in a battle, she admitted defeat . But in the end, it was still considered a draw .

It was a pity that people didn’t manage to learn more about the course of the battle . If they had managed to learn more, the dual swords would have able let them recall a certain person . However, they still knew that the guy represented the Three Middle Realms and fought for their honor . Even though they didn’t know who it was, and they could only make guesses about him .

Jiang Chen didn’t get in contact with anyone and just collected Desolate Spirits in silence . The Three Middle Realms were vast and boundless, and if he didn’t expose himself on purpose, no one would learn of his presence .

Moreover, a lot of people already assumed that he had died .

“A Doctrine Method…” Jiang Chen muttered . As he thought back to the saint’s untouchable body’s graceful bearing, he couldn’t help but aspire to get one .

In the martial path, it was the martial techniques first before the Doctrine Method . One must first learn martial arts, before the Great Doctrine . As for what was after it, it was fusing martial and Doctrine’s techniques, and aspiring to the apex .
