What Did You Say? Who Was Holding Whom Off?!
214
This Yellowbeard's sword, though exquisitely crafted...
Every move, every technique.
They can all reach a near-perfect state.
But!
He's not strong enough.
Ye Zhe could clearly make that judgment.
The man with the Yellowbeard had no Qi.
He's using Qi and Blood!
Advanced Martial Artist?
Wrong!
They hadn't even reached the level of Advanced Martial Artists.
He's merely an Intermediate Martial Artist who's close to being Advanced Martial Artist!
Between Transcendent and ordinary Martial Artists lies an insurmountable chasm!
This moment.
A light shone in Ye Zhe's eyes.
Today.
I, Ye Zhe, am determined to be this hero!
I want to do it in front of everyone, in front of all the important people.
Defeat this Summer Yellowbeard fair and square!
Right now, the three Principals of Heavenly Desolation, Earth Origin University, and Human Mystery University must be watching my performance!
Thinking about this...
Ye Zhe's internal Qi surged wildly.
His sword seemed to be whistling.
A violent burst of cyan blade energy erupted.
At this moment, Ye Zhe had no skills whatsoever.
It only used power that was absolutely domineering.
One force can overcome ten techniques!
No matter how fierce your swordsmanship or how perfect your Divine Abilities!
But you are not Transcendent.
No one can defeat me unless they Transcendent!
Buzz--
A burst of sword energy erupted.
Extremely fast.
It was incredibly heavy!
Seeing this, Jiang Fu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't break my equipment!"
He roared.
At the same time.
Suddenly, streaks of starlight shone beneath my feet.
In that instant, Jiang Fu's figure moved like a shooting star.
She dodged Ye Zhe's blade aura with remarkable ease.
And in the very next instant...
Shi Jiu extended two fingers and gently pinched.
Bang!
The extremely powerful sword energy vanished instantly.
Ye Zhe's pupils contracted slightly.
Jiang Fu had already arrived in front of Ye Zhe.
Don't get distracted.
Swish--
As they were talking.
The Heaven Sword Slays the Dragons, was swung.
The Sword Qi, shaped like a dragon, slashed down towards Ye Zhe's head.
Ye Zhe sneered.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, he took a slight step back, raised his War Blade, and charged forward.
Then...
Swish!
That Yellow-Rank Low Grade War Blade.
Like tofu, it was sliced open by the Heaven Sword Slays the Dragon.
"What kind of sword is that?!"
Ye Zhe's eyes widened instantly.
Jiang Fu remained silent.
He thrust out thirteen times in succession with his longsword.
Each sword strike traced a perfect yet distinct trajectory in the void.
Thirteen sword shadows, like thirteen shooting stars.
It has a dragon-shaped tail flame.
This effectively blocked all of Ye Zhe's escape routes.
"What exquisite Divine Ability... But no matter how powerful Divine Ability, you're still only Intermediate Martial Artist!"
Boom--
Ye Zhe dropped the War Blade in his hand.
This moment.
A powerful burst of Qi suddenly erupted from his body.
"Open it!!"
Boom--
A cyan dragon shadow also erupted from Ye Zhe's body.
He neither dodged nor avoided.
He threw a punch.
Heavenly Desolation Dragon Transformation Fist!
The signature technique of Tianhuang Martial Arts University.
It's hailed as the number one body-refining Cultivation Techniques in the Xia Country!
In that instant.
Jiang Fu felt as if there was a wall... no, a mountain.
It crashed heavily into itself.
Transcendent oppression, Transcendent terror.
This was on full display at that moment.
At this moment, Jiang Fu finally understood what 'Transcendent' meant!
On that day, Qi Shenghui unleashed the Heavenly Desolation Dragon Transformation Fist.
Compared to Ye Zhe's punch, it was like a mudfish in a stinking ditch.
They're completely incomparable!
"In this battle, our Attack Power Multiply by Ten!"
"Armor Break Multiply by Ten!"
"Damage Multiply by Ten!"
"Multiply Explosive Power by Ten!"
"Critical Hits Multiply by Ten!"
"Critical Multiply Damage by Ten!"
"Continue until the battle ends!"
Jiang Fu silently recited in her heart.
Immediately.
He neither dodged nor avoided.
One Sword, Starfall!
The force of the fist slashed heavily towards the dragon shape.
Boom--
The air exploded.
It emitted a deafening explosion.
Ye Zhe stood still, unmoved.
Jiang Fu...
An invisible "miss" flashed across my head.
Remaining completely still.
Ye Zhe stared in disbelief at the Yellowbeard in front of him, "You're actually alright!?"
That punch.
Ye Zhe has already used all his strength.
But!
That Yellowbeard clearly hadn't even reached the Advanced Martial Artist.
Surprisingly, it remained completely unmoved.
Even!
Even his Yellowbeard didn't budge!
Jiang Fu twitched the corner of her mouth.
He then unleashed another sword strike.
This sword strike, once again, Multiply by Ten in every aspect!
Divine Ability of the Heaven-Tier Upper Grade.
Heaven-Tier Upper Grade Weapons!
As a result,
His attack power instantly increased several levels.
Ye Zhe's expression changed drastically.
He flipped his hand.
Another War Blade appeared in his hand.
Yellow-Tier Upper Grade!
"What's going on! Why has his attack power suddenly increased so much?!"
Ten times!
No, it's more than ten times!
Ye Zhe was shocked.
But what terrified him even more was...
The Yellowbeard in front of me grew stronger with each battle!
Although he used the same sword technique and the same Divine Ability from beginning to end.
His Divine Abilities had reached a perfect level.
The technique of each sword strike, and the trajectory it traces in the void.
They've all reached textbook level.
However, the changes between Divine Ability powers become increasingly smooth over time.
There are even several more perfect variations.
Targeting your own changes!
It's like...
They are constantly accumulating combat experience.
... etc!
Combat experience?!
Ye Zhe suddenly realized.
This Yellowbeard is clearly using himself as a whetstone.
Gain combat experience!
Thinking about this...
Ye Zhe felt a surge of frustration and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
But at this very moment...
He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.
On this sea, many Warships Disguised as Yachts have appeared out of nowhere!
"They're here!"
Ye Zhe's eyes lit up. "I've successfully stalled those two bearded men..."
Ye Zhe's thoughts hadn't yet settled.
Then, Redbeard shouted excitedly from the other side, "Little... Yellowbeard! You did it! You successfully held off Ye Zhe and waited for his reinforcements to arrive!"
Ye Zhe's heart skipped a beat. "What did you say!? Who's holding whom back!?"
And at this time...
Redbeard suddenly stepped forward.
She held a long, Purple-Gold Long Spear in her hand.
It slammed down on Ye Zhe's head.
"Etc!"
Ye Zhe screamed in terror, "What are you doing!"
"A man's word is his bond! You said you'd let me have a fair one-on-one fight with this Yellowbeard..."
Then.
He then heard the Redbeard say in a disdainful tone, "I'm not a man."
Ye Zhe: "..."
Bang!!
The Purple-Gold Long Spear struck Ye Zhe on the back of the head.
Then.
This is the Student Union Guild President of Tianhuang Martial Arts University.
She just fainted.
"How's it going?"
As early as the very first moment Jiang Fu and Ye Zhe clashed.
Shi Jiu activated the power of the Concealment Pendant.
The ship's surveillance equipment was Block.
She didn't want Jiang Fu's skills to be exposed to certain people.
Jiang Fu smiled, "Tenfold Experience Accumulation... that's about right!"
Shi Jiu chuckled, "That's good, that's good... By the way, how about we capture a few more boatloads of people?"
While they were talking.
The two put on Invisibility Talisman.
They quietly hid nearby.
Catching them one by one would be too time-consuming.
It would be better to use entrapment tactics and let them come to us.
Fishing Sequence never goes home empty-handed!
Jiang Fu glanced at her phone. "Mifune, please!"
"Chairman Xia... um, Alliance Leader Xia said that three of the ships belong to teachers from Tianhuang Martial Arts University..."
"Adding to the seventy Transcendent and seventy Island Guardians we captured earlier, that should be enough!"
