Chapter 269
Jiang Chen wasn’t very sure about it.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t confident about defeating Gao Tiange, but he wasn’t sure he could control himself and not kill Gao Tiange while defeating him.
He hadn’t yet completely mastered the first movement of the Sword Method of Ksana. Under such tricky conditions, it would be extremely difficult for him to defeat his rival without killing him.
No one had ever been killed in the competition of the Sacred Institute. Such fights usually ended when one of the two was defeated.
Even Gao Tiange only had the will to fight, not the will to kill.
It would be against his beliefs to exert a killing movement in order to win a fight. It wouldn’t do him any good, either.
Most importantly, even if he won that way, it wouldn’t be a victory he was proud of.
“Huh!” Gao Tiange didn’t say anything, instead launching another sword attack.
Jiang Chen picked up the Redcloud Sword again. It was still hot, but he could deal with the heat.
He threw the sword out. The wind and the fire met.
Gao Tiange had managed to achieve the radiance of the sword with fire. The constant strong winds kept blowing the fire in other directions.
“Hum, you won’t get anywhere in fifteen minutes thanks to this movement.”
Gao Tiange had never thought he could lose the fight; he was only worried about a tie, but the enhancement of the creation of wind had also affected Jiang Chen’s swordsmanship. Gao Tiange’s swordsmanship was worse than his. In Jiang Chen’s eyes, his sword movement had as little to do with technique as the moment before when he had been breathing fire with his sword.
“The Sword Method of Ksana: The First Movement!”
Most importantly, he had mastered the first movement more. At that moment, he was confident that he wouldn’t endanger Gao Tiange’s life with his attack.
Gao Tiange, who was trying his best, had been about to beat Jiang Chen up, when he suddenly found Jiang Chen had disappeared. In an instant, the energy of his sword became boundless. It reached every corner of the space.
If people could watch it in slow motion, they would find most of the spectators hadn’t realized what had happened, and only the powerful ones had sensed anything unusual.
“Stop…”
Fang Yi was shocked, extremely nervous.
At the same time, a few shadows appeared.
When all of this was happening, Jiang Chen had already launched his sword attacks.
Twenty sword attacks had been completed in a single instant. The flames were extinguished. The hot Redcloud Sword had been put at Gao Tiange’s throat.
Gao Tiange had the blood of the phoenix, so the heat wasn’t a problem for him, but he didn’t dare move under the Redcloud Sword, which had been burnt by the fire but hadn’t lost any of its sharpness.
“Don’t worry. This isn’t a killing movement.”
Jiang Chen glanced at the people around.
Along with Gao Tiange and him, some elders of the Sacred Institute were also on the platform. They had thought Jiang Chen had exerted a killing movement, so they had come to Gao Tiange’s rescue.
Although Gao Tiange was fine, they couldn’t calm down, because they had been too slow. If Jiang Chen hadn’t pulled his sword back himself, he could have killed Gao Tiange in their presence.
“What a sword attack!” people exclaimed.
“Gao Tiange, defeated,” Shi Wengong said.
This announcement woke many people up.
It was interesting that it was supposed to be a tie, but Gao Tiange had refused to accept the outcome. Unexpectedly, he had lost it so soon.
“I don’t buy it!” Gao Tiange shouted.
It was easy to tell that this was Jiang Chen’s only chance to defeat him. If he had done something to stop Jiang Chen from launching this attack, Jiang Chen would have lost.
But, it would be ridiculous to count on so many variables in a fight.
“If you don’t buy it, blame yourself. You didn’t try your best at the beginning, which gave Jiang Chen the opportunity to break through. You never used your unique movement, and you failed to launch an attack before his. You relied too much on your flames!” Shi Wengong scolded him seriously.
