nThe skill Holy Sword actually needed to be charged with Storing Power, or at least this is the case at Long Hao Chen’s current cultivation level; he needed to prepare it for at least a few seconds to possibly use Holy Sword.

nBut this time, after he borrowed Divine Obstruction’s might to parry his opponent’s attack, he immediately used the skill Bright Vengeance, and used it to form Holy Sword. His use of this formidable secret skill showed how astonishing his background was. Holy Sword was not even among the secret skills recorded by the Knight Temple.

n“Good.” Yang Wenzhao suddenly smiled; he didn’t expect Long Hao Chen, who could temporarily only use a single sword, to take advantage of this situation to counterattack. Stretching his two arms in front, he, like Long Hao chen, emitted a holy aura from his whole body. The only difference was that his swords both started to emit a dazzling holy light.

nClearly, he was planning on using Holy Sword with his two swords to answer to Long Hao Chen’s single Holy Sword.

n“Hmpf”. Long Hao Chen snorted coldly, completely ignoring Yang Wenzhao. He lifted his head, looking at his Light Sword upraised, filled with a dazzling holy radiance. At this very moment, a peculiar red color filled his eyes.

nWith his astonishing perception, how could he not feel that Yang Wenzhao wasn’t going all-out in this battle against him? This was something Long Hao Chen couldn’t accept, even more than defeat.

n“Huh?” From the platform, the first one to see that something was wrong was the Saint Knight Head Han Qian. He suddenly stood up, and said, full of astonishment, “This child is really determined to win by all means. He is going as far as to use the skill of the seventh step, Sacrifice. Is Long Xing Yu mad? Don’t tell me he’s not afraid of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm?” Having seen Long Hao Chen’s performances of the last days, he had naturally already guessed from whom his Inheritance Ring came.

nSacrifice was a skill that could be learnt by both specialities, Guardian Knights and Retribution Knights. It was a secret skill for knights of the seventh step.

nHowever, what Han Qian didn’t know was that Long Hao Chen’s innate internal spiritual energy was at the 97th level. If it wasn’t the case, how could Long Xing Yu possibly do something that could harm his own son? He had carefully thought before putting the seals on this Retribution Ring.

nYang Wenzhao was a genuine knight of the fifth step, so it was naturally a lot easier for him to use Holy Sword. However, being the closest to Long Hao Chen, he discovered at the same time as Han Qian from the platform that something was wrong with the current Long Hao Chen.

n_What is he doing?_ Yang Wenzhao was startled, and he didn’t dare ignore this threat; he had faintly sensed the crisis that was facing him.

nAssault. Yang Wenzhao instantly broke out, with a three times faster speed than previously. Feeling that the situation was getting dangerous, he decided without the slightest hesitation to go all out! Directly using all his strength, he immediately made this decision.

nTwo swords were crossed, it was a Radiant Cross Cut.

nIn the middle of his Assault, Yang Wenzhao simultaneously waved his two swords, forming a cross with them; it was a Radiant Cross Cut. It could be considered as a combinatorial skill. Long Hao Chen had previously relied on Holy Sword to break through the defense of the knight of the fifth step, Han Yu, so one could imagine how powerful this Radiant Cross Cut that used Holy Sword as its foundation was.

nA milky white-colored Radiant Cross Cut filled with an incomparable holy aura appeared, directly aiming at Long Hao Chen. Where it passed, a fragrant odor was transmitted in the air. In terms of power, this skill was already nearing the sixth step.

nAnd at this very moment, an overwhelming golden-red-colored radiance filled with sadness, desperation, and sharpness loudly erupted from Long Hao Chen’s body.

nThis gold-red light was actually not a mixture of light and fire at all. It felt as if the current Long Hao Chen was all alone, confronting countless enemies. An isolated knight.

nFilled with his self confidence and with the purest fighting spirit going through his blood, this gold-red radiance was completely filled with madness.

nPlacing his Flame Sword horizontally, he used Divine Obstruction.

nThe sharp gold-red radiance instantly turned into a Divine Obstruction; it seemed as if a sort of gold-red mantle was entirely covering Long Hao Chen’s body.

nOne has to know that Divine Obstruction is excellent to resist physical attacks, and it is very hard for it to completely block attacks made of energy, but the current Long Hao Chen actually did it.

n_Bang–_

nThe gold-red radiance glittered even more intensely as Long Hao Chen unexpectedly took on the Radiant Cross Cut without taking a single step back. It only caused a mouthful of blood to appear in the corner of his lips.

nTaking a step forward, he appeared like an enormous lump of bright light. Charging straight towards Yang Wenzhao, the Light Sword chopped down, as a blood-colored Holy Sword filled the atmosphere.

nYang Wenzhao didn’t expect his own Radiant Cross Cut to be so easily broken. And at this very moment, he recognized the skill Long Hao Chen was using.

nSacrifice? So he could unexpectedly use Sacrifice? To dare use Sacrifice, can it be that he’s not afraid of dying from having his blood depleted?

nTo knights, the skill Sacrifice was used as a last resort; for one to sacrifice himself to protect his comrades; to sacrifice himself to deal with his enemies.

nIf he wanted to use this skill, one had to be determined enough to put his life at stake, and as a requirement, he had to completely grasp the Ten Rules of a Knight. Upon using it, one’s blood will completely fuse with his spiritual energy, forming a single entity, and completely bypassing the actual strength provided by his cultivation level. But the duration was short, and a single mistake could cause him to die from his blood being completely dried up. At least, it would greatly deplete his vitality. From Yang Wenzhao’s point of view, this was nothing more than a little competition, but Long Hao Chen went so far as to use an ability like Sacrifice for the sake of victory.

nWhy did he do so? He did it for his honor as a knight. At the moment Long Hao Chen felt that his opponent wasn’t fighting with his full strength, he became completely obstinate; his thirst for victory as well as the humiliation he felt from this act pushed him to use this ability, even though he had never really managed to comprehend it.

n“Clang–” Yang Wenzhao used Divine Obstruction as well, to block this blood-colored Holy Sword, but was knocked five steps back.

nHe could clearly feel that this blood-colored Holy Sword contained a willpower that reached an extremely frightening level. Considering the intensity of his spiritual energy, even after using Sacrifice, he was only at most at equal level with him. However, his astonishing willpower made Yang Wenzhao feel as if he was somehow inferior.

nAt this very moment, from Long Hao Chen’s chest, a white glow of light appeared, and immediately following, a similar red glow appeared on Yang Wenzhao’s body.

nKnight skill used by both specialities, Lock. Skill of the sixth step.

n“A Saint Spiritual Stove!” From the platform, Han Qian cried out in astonishment. With a single glance, he saw that Long Hao Chen’s Sacrifice aftereffects were suppressed by his Saint Spiritual Stove, as he launched the skill Lock.

nJust like Storing Power, it was an auxiliary skill, but Target Lock was an extremely practical skill that all knights who reached the level of Radiant Knight could learn. In the case that an opponent was locked on, all the attacks of the knight who used Lock would automatically target it. Even Assault, Charge and this kind of abilities aiming in straight line would have the effect of pursuing the target.

nThe sparkling golden red glitter surrounding Long Hao Chen rose in the air as he used Lock. Waving his two swords, he whirled, aiming straight towards Yang Wenzhao.

nIt was Holy Sword combined with Condemning Revolving Sword, and under the effect of Sacrifice.

nWith Long Hao Chen’s current cultivation level, his Sacrifice could only last at most 10 seconds. As a result, he didn’t waste time and directly used his most powerful attack.

nA dragon cry sounded; facing Sacrifice, how could Yang Wenzhao dare be careless? He once again used Ascending Dragon’s Strike. After all, he had noticed that Condemning Revolving Sword was at its weakest when it was just launched. As time passed, its power would just unceasingly increase.

nThe speed of this Ascending Dragon’s Strike launched by Yang Wenzhao, that just followed his Divine Obstruction, was incomparable to his previous one.

n

n_Bang_

nThe same skill as the one he used previously had an entirely different result this time. In the instant the Ascending Dragon’s Strike accompanied with a dragon cry collided against Condemning Revolving Sword, it was smashed in the ground. Furthermore, Condemning Revolving Sword chased after him immediately after he fell.

n_So powerful._ Yang Wenzhao was shocked. Facing an opponent whose cultivation level was far from equalling his, he was suppressed to an extent he would never have expected.
