Chapter 727
The Saint guarding Shentai City was Saint Lingding from the Law Enforcement Palace . His real name was Luo Lingding .
Saint Lingding stood on the balcony of the Array Tower, in the center of Shentai City . Dressed in a Taoist robe, he emanated a holy white light . His hands were behind his back and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen and Snake Two on top of the Coliseum .
Behind him were three other Half-Saints from the Law Enforcement Palace: Kongyu, Kongling and Kongche .
"The Demonic Sect is too impudent . How dare they be so presumptuous on the Yin and Yang Sect's territory . " The slightly stout Half-saint Kongyu snorted angrily .
Half-saint Kongling looked quite worried . "Snake Two is an archaean survivor, a White Snake with a Saint Heart . The blood of a Mythical Beast courses through her body . She's very strong in both her Tao of the sword and Spiritual Power .
"We heard that Snake Two fought a first-level Half-Saint from the imperial court on her way here . They exchanged several hundred moves and she wasn't defeated . "
Half-saint Kongling continued, "Lin Yue is going to represent the Yin and Yang Sect in the upcoming Sword Technique Conference . If something untoward happens to him, how are we going to answer to the sword saint or our Master?"
Saint Lingding nodded . "Lin Yue's cultivation is still at the Seventh Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm . But Snake Two is almost a Half-Saint . He has a long way to go before he can match her . Kongling, stop their fight and tell the people from the Demonic Sect we'll kill them if they try anything rash . "
"Yes, Sir . "
Kongling stood up and was about to go over to the Coliseum .
"Hold on a minute . "
A sweet female voice rang out in the distance . It crept expansively into the ears of Saint Lingding and the other three Half-Saints .
A beam of white light hovered in the sky from afar, stopping just above the Array Tower . It condensed into the Saint Lady's form .
"Our respects to Your Excellency the Saint Lady . "
Standing in a row, the three Half-Saints bowed together and paid their respects to the Saint Lady, looking most reverent .
Saint Lingding wrinkled his brows and asked, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
The Saint Lady was in a white Confucian scholar costume, dressed like a man . She looked dashing . She was smiling sunnily . "Saint Lingding, I'm sorry but this is what I meant: I'm quite confident in Lin Yue's abilities . He can certainly rival Snake Two . "
The Saint Lady spoke to him as a junior . Saint Lingding uncreased his brows, feeling quite satisfied . After all, her cultivation and status were above his . To address him as her senior was showing him the greatest respect .
Half-Saint Lingding said, "Lin Yue is certainly very powerful . But his cultivation is only at the Seventh Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm . I'm worried he will meet with mishap . Your Excellency must be quite aware of his importance to our Sect . "
The Saint Lady smiled faintly and glanced at Lin Yue . "If Lin Yue can defeat Snake Two while still at the Seventh Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm, his potential must be immense!"
The fact that the Saint Lady predicted a bright future for Lin Yue was good news for the Yin and Yang Sect .
Saint Lingding's heart skipped a beat . He suddenly realized how highly the Saint Lady thought of Lin Yue, coming in person to watch him fight .
"Is the Saint Lady . . . choosing Lin Yue as an Heir to Kunlun's Field? Is this showdown with Snake Two his final test?" Saint Lingding wondered to himself .
An Heir of Kunlun's Field implied much for the Sect . It meant that the Yin and Yang Sect would stand in the Field without harassment for the next 1,000 years .
"Lin Yue, bring credit to our Sect! Even if you can't beat Snake Two, you must not lose . " Saint Lingding inhaled a deep breath and his eyes turned solemn .
He had to make Saint Lady value Lin Yue even more no matter what .
Snake Two and Zhang Ruochen faced each other in the Coliseum . Although they had not started fighting, they were already pitting their Sword Qi domains against each other .
Their Sword Qis were streaking out, clashing and dissipating at the same time . Minute distortions could be felt in the air .
"You're only an archaean survivor, yet you've mastered all ten realms of Sword One to the Completion . You are indeed a remarkable White Snake with a Saint Heart," Zhang Ruochen said .
Although they had yet to fight, Zhang Ruochen could feel her powerful Tao of the sword . She had definitely mastered all ten levels of Sword One to the Completion . She might have even mastered several levels of Sword Two .
In the last 1,000 years, only a few dozen people had mastered all ten levels of Sword One while still in the Fish-Dragon realm . They had all become sword heroes .
A sword hero in the Fish-Dragon Realm could easily be called a genius in the Tao of the sword .
Snake Two flashed her gleaming white teeth . "That being the case, let's pit our Tao of the sword and see who is better . "
As she said the first word, she was still standing in the distance .
As she uttered the last word, she had already appeared behind Zhang Ruochen . Raising her serpent-shaped Holy Sword noiselessly, she aimed a slash at his throat .
Snake Two was as quick as a first-level Half-Saint .
Had her opponent been a Saintly Being at the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm, she could have chopped his head off before he even noticed anything .
Zhang Ruochen stood where he was without flinching . He raised his sword and stabbed toward her chest .
It was a well calculated move!
