Chapter 1299: Level-6 Opponent
When he saw his opponent’s body slowly forming, Lin Huang began to observe him .

He was well built and wore a grey robe, looking somewhat like the ancient Chinese people back on Earth . The material of his clothes looked average, so he did not seem wealthy . However, the sword hanging from his waist looked quite valuable indeed .
It was a broad-bladed sword with a hilt that looked like it was made of pure gold carved into beautiful patterns . The sheath was golden-red, and it looked like it was made of high-quality wood as well . There were several dozen pieces of flawless jade stones, each as large as a thumb, dotting the hilt .
“What a fine gold-engraved sword . ”
The sword he was holding qualified as an expert-grade god relic .
Similarly, the sword that appeared in Lin Huang’s hand was of equal quality .
The broad-bladed sword was suitable for slashing, so the opponent should be especially good at slashing . The Sword Dao he emanated had a sharpness to it that proved it . His physical stature implied that he had strength as well, so he would not be bad at close-range fighting…
With just one glance, Lin Huang had a rough idea of what his opponent was like .
While Lin Huang was considering him, the well-built man opposite him was watching him as well .
“Your sword is very strong, but strength doesn’t decide the victor . We’ll only know after we battle . ”
They were both level-6 Sword Dao fighters, so the well-built man could clearly sense that Lin Huang was almost at the complete stage .
It was true that he was not as strong in terms of purely their Sword Dao, but there was no fear at all in his expression . Instead, his will to fight seemed even stronger now .
Lin Huang highly approved of the well-built man’s words .
If there was not a decisive difference in power between the two sides in this battle, it would actually be quite difficult to determine the eventual winner . It was not impossible for the weak to triumph over the strong, not at all .
Seeing the opponent’s rising will to fight, Lin Huang did not underestimate him in the slightest .

He could not use anything other than Sword Dao in this sword mark space, and he was facing a Sword Dao level-6 powerhouse, just like himself . He did not have any absolute advantages here . If he was not careful, he could really lose .
After the five-second preparation phase was over, the two bodies standing ten meters away shot out like lightning at almost exactly the same time . The blood-red sword and golden blade clashed together in an instant .
The instant the gold and red Divine Powers clashed, there was a burst of light that exploded into the sky .
It looked like a golden-red sun that rose in the void .
The clash of Divine Power created an energy that rippled in all directions like waves . Wherever they went, everything the waves touched was reduced to dust .
It was a clash in mid-air, but a deep and enormous crater several dozen kilometers in diameter appeared in the ground, as though a meteor had crashed there .
The high heat generated by the energy clash even pushed the ground to its boiling point . The crater was dark red inside, and all the sand had melted into a crystal that resembled charcoal . The heat contained within could be evidently felt from miles away .
In the air, the clash between swords lasted for only an instant .
A grey figure was sent flying back, crashing into the distant ground in a streak of golden light .
Lin Huang was still stronger overall . After all, he had a terrifying body that was almost as strong as a Tyrant’s . In a frontal clash, even the well-built man who was good at close-range combat did not find himself at an advantage .
After a moment, the well-built man crawled out of the crater and spat out two mouthfuls of sand . He shook his right hand, which had nearly shattered, and raised his head to give Lin Huang a smile as he said, “And I thought that I was one of the physically strongest amongst sword cultivators, so a frontal close-range attack would give me an advantage . But it turns out your body is actually monstrously strong . ”
Lin Huang grinned . “You’re no match for me in close-range combat, so why don’t you show me your strongest specialty?”
After all, back when Lin Huang obtained the Tyrant Monster Card, he had also received its Robust skill . By now, the Tyrant’s Robust skill had been enhanced countless times, and Lin Huang’s skill had also been enhanced more times than he could count .
If he put aside the Tyrant’s physical multiplier via its other skills and divine ability, Lin Huang was actually the same level as the Tyrant .

There was also the fact that Lin Huang had the Divine Power and Seraphic Speed talents, so he was exceptionally strong and fast as well . It was only natural that he was terrifying at close-range combat .
Before the level-6 stage, the sword mark space considered the fairness of the battles and suppressed Lin Huang’s combat level and physical attributes completely . All of his passive buff-type skills were forbidden, so his body, strength, and speed were actually maintained at the same level as his opponents’ .
After the level-6 stage was unlocked, however, his opponents’ combat level had been adjusted to rank-9 virtual god-level, so all of his own boosting abilities were activated as well . The chains that had been binding Lin Huang were finally undone .
Now, only the active skills aside from Sword Dao techniques were forbidden . Lin Huang’s attributes, like his physicality, strength, and speed, were all completely unleashed now . The only things that remained unavailable to him were skills such as his Seraphic Speed space flickering and his Superhuman Strength explosion .
Putting aside his Telekinesis and summoning powers, he was almost at full strength now .
The well-built man was only testing the waters earlier, and now he knew that he did not stand a chance in close-range combat . Hence, he decisively chose to give up on close-range combat .
“In that case, I’ll get serious now . My biggest specialty is slashing, so it doesn’t matter how strong your body is . As long as you aren’t as immovable as god rule powerhouses, there’s a chance I’ll cleave you in half . ”
“Bring it on . I wanna see just how strong your slashes can be!”
Lin Huang gripped the long sword in his hand and grew ever more serious .
The well-built man swung his sword, and a crescent-shaped golden light sprayed out of the blade, slashing toward Lin Huang .
That sword gleam was unbelievably fast, reaching Lin Huang in almost an instant .
“That’s so fast!”
Lin Huang’s pupils dilated somewhat . With just one slash, his opponent proved that he could walk the talk .
However, Lin Huang was not slow to react either . He held his sword and leaped up, swinging it once as well and slashing forth a blood-colored sword gleam .

Just as the golden crescent was about to slash Lin Huang’s body, the blood-red sword gleam surged forth .
The golden and red crescents crashed into each other .
After a loud crash, the two crescents fell apart at almost the same time .
Lin Huang’s body was sent flying several dozen meters as well .
As soon as he moved, however, almost a hundred golden crescents came raining down toward him violently .
Some of these slashes were fast while others were slow . Some came straight at him while others curved and flew at Lin Huang from different angles, surrounding him completely .
“You’re not too bad!”
Lin Huang was quite pleasantly surprised, his eyes shining even brighter when he saw what his opponent could do .
He swung his long blade again and again, and suddenly it looked like his sword had split into countless shadows, flying toward the golden slashes .
Each shadow easily destroyed one of the slashing sword gleams .
When he saw what Lin Huang was doing, the well-built man was not surprised in the slightest . He held the battle sword with both his hands, staring unblinkingly at the direction Lin Huang was in .
The moment Lin Huang destroyed the final sword gleam, his body instantly disappeared from the spot .
In the air, there was a gigantic golden sword gleam that slowly approached Lin Huang’s direction like the coastal line .
Lin Huang could clearly feel that this move had locked onto him . No matter how he tried to dodge, that sword gleam would come right at him and slash him in half at the waist .
The opponent had clearly used his strongest move .
Since he could not evade it, Lin Huang could not be bothered to try .
His wrist twisted abruptly and he bent his arm, holding his sword . When the horizontal sword gleam arrived before him, he finally thrust his sword forth .
The blood-colored sword tip gathered a little red light from the sky and crashed into the golden string .
The next instant, the tidal wave of golden strings simply snapped and fell apart .
At the same time, at the exact spot Lin Huang had pierced with the tip of his sword, a grey figure was forced out and sent flying with the force of that stab .
“Your slash is very powerful . You’ve almost completely merged with your blade to unleash the ultimate slash, but the largest flaw of this slash is your own body . I just need to attack you, and your slash will amount to nothing . ”
Lin Huang watched as his opponent crashed into the ground . Instead of giving chase, he simply looked in the direction of the well-built man’s fall from way up high .
“Your slash is most advantageous as a mid-close-range attack, and not for fighting at close range . Otherwise, your slash would not be worth it . Don’t try to pit your weakness against my strength . You’ll only lose horribly like that . ”
