One Move Blast

Dongfang Bai?

Ye Xiwen quickly grabbed an Inner Disciple beside him and asked, "What's going on? Why is it so noisy over there!"

"Senior Brother Ye, you're back, that's great!" The Inner Disciple was clearly older than Ye Xiwen, but no one found it strange. In this world, strength was paramount, and those who achieved mastery came first.

"It's those guys from the Zhang Family. Today, the Zhang Family sent an Elder to discuss the Core Disciple Competition with our sect. As a result, a disciple from the Zhang Family named Zhang Yunfei, who was the champion of the Zhang Family's Grand Competition, came and immediately challenged the top five disciples of our Sect Internal Competition. He defeated the last three Senior Brothers, but he was too despicable. When he couldn't defeat Senior Brother Dongfang, he actually ambushed him!"

Ye Xiwen frowned. Was the Zhang Family deliberately trying to provoke them? The Zhang Family was different from the Yi Yuan Sect. The Yi Yuan Sect was inclusive, but the Zhang Family was a family-based system. The Family Grand Competition was similar in nature and value to the Yi Yuan Sect's Sect Internal Competition. It was also held every three years, and the champion of each session was eager to compete with the champion of the Yi Yuan Sect.

However, the timing was rather interesting. They chose to come and provoke them when the core disciples were all present. This was blatant disrespect!

This was a contest between the younger generation of core disciples. It wasn't that no one could deal with Zhang Yunfei like a defeated dog, but they couldn't make a move. If they did, it would appear as if the Yi Yuan Sect was showing weakness. Even if they defeated Zhang Yunfei, it would be meaningless. The Yi Yuan Sect and the Zhang Family had been in a covert struggle for many years. They were long past the point of resorting to any means necessary to win. Now, it was about maintaining dignity and competing at the same level.

Of course, this was all predicated on Zhang Yunfei being able to suppress all the talents of the Yi Yuan Sect this time. If he couldn't, then he would naturally become a complete joke.

Countless thoughts raced through Ye Xiwen's mind. He slowed down his pace on his way back and went to the plaza. He parted the crowd and saw Dongfang Bai in the center of the field, holding a long sword in one hand, while blood continuously flowed from the other. His expression was not good.

On the other side was another young man with a smug expression, holding a sharp sword. He was actually a master at the Houtian Eighth Stage Middle Stage.

No wonder he was so confident. To achieve such cultivation at such a young age was indeed a reason for his arrogance.

"Despicable! If you hadn't shot Senior Brother Dongfang with a poison needle first, how could this have happened!"

"Shameless! Are all people from the Zhang Family like this?"

"Hahaha, when fighting for life and death, do you expect your opponent not to use hidden weapons?" Zhang Yunfei said with a disdainful expression. "This only shows that he was too careless. How could someone like that have survived until now!"

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

Zhang Yunfei's words immediately aroused the indignation of countless Yi Yuan Sect disciples.

"Does your Yi Yuan Sect have no one stronger? I heard that a champion emerged this time, but I don't see anyone. Could it be that he's scared and doesn't dare to come out? Hahaha!" Zhang Yunfei said with a arrogant laugh.

"Whoosh!" A sky-shattering blade energy descended from the sky, slashing towards Zhang Yunfei.

Zhang Yunfei was greatly alarmed. He stomped his foot, and his body narrowly avoided the sky-shattering blade energy. He immediately roared, "Who is it that dares to ambush me!"

"It's me!" Ye Xiwen responded and walked out from the crowd.

"It's Senior Brother Ye Xiwen!"

"It's Senior Brother Ye, it's great that he's back, Zhang Yunfei definitely won't be able to be so arrogant!"

"You dare to ambush me?" Zhang Yunfei said, shocked and enraged. That saber strike just now was terrifying. If he had been a moment careless, he would have been cut in half.

"Do you expect your opponent not to strike first during a fight!" Ye Xiwen said with a cold, disdainful smile.

The surrounding Yi Yuan Sect disciples burst into laughter. It was obvious that Ye Xiwen was using Zhang Yunfei's own words against him. Weren't you just showing off a moment ago?

Now you've been embarrassed by your own words.

Zhang Yunfei's face turned red with anger, and he shouted, "Who are you!"

"Ye Xiwen!" Ye Xiwen said indifferently.

"You are Ye Xiwen!" Zhang Yunfei said, looking at Ye Xiwen with an ugly expression. But he opened his mouth, wanting to curse, but he didn't know how. Should he call him a scoundrel?

But wasn't it he who had injured Dongfang Bai with a hidden weapon just now? This time, it was truly like a mute eating a bitter herb – he had unspeakable suffering.

"Good, good, good! I heard you are the champion of this Sect Internal Competition. Do you dare to come onto the stage and fight me!" Zhang Yunfei said angrily.

"Alright, as long as you can take one move from me, I'll turn around and leave!" Ye Xiwen said. With a stomp of his foot, his body moved like a flying swallow, and the long saber in his hand instantly unleashed a flying rainbow, killing directly towards Zhang Yunfei.

This saber strike was plain and unadorned. Ye Xiwen didn't even use any saber techniques. It was a pure chop. To others, it might have been an ordinary move, but to Ye Xiwen, it was already perfected. Among his series of Martial Skills, saber techniques were his main focus, and basic saber techniques were the most important. Although it couldn't be said that he could turn decay into magic and rely on basic saber techniques to conquer the world, it could be said that he had reached the point of perfection. After all, basic saber techniques were the foundation of all saber techniques. Any saber technique was built upon this foundation. It was like building a tall building; a solid foundation was essential.

Martial arts manuals were like blueprints for building floors. Even with blueprints, if the foundation was unstable, even blueprints for a hundred-story building would be useless because they couldn't be built. And once built, they would collapse instantly.

Therefore, no matter when, Ye Xiwen never forgot to train his fundamentals.

This saber strike was a manifestation of Ye Xiwen's cultivation achievements during this period.

Brilliant saber energy sliced through the air, and terrifying saber energy instantly struck before Zhang Yunfei.

Zhang Yunfei quickly swung out a long sword energy.

"Boom!" With a loud explosion, the sword energy and saber energy collided in the air, emitting a terrifying roar. However, Ye Xiwen's saber energy did not dissipate. Instead, it broke through Zhang Yunfei's sword energy like a hot knife through butter and fiercely struck Zhang Yunfei's treasured sword.

"Bang!" The saber energy hit the long sword, and the immense force directly caused Zhang Yunfei to spit out a mouthful of blood. His body, like a kite with a broken string, was sent flying backward fiercely, soaring high into the air, and then crashing heavily onto the ground.

Silence!

Complete silence!

All the disciples watching were stunned. The previously arrogant and overbearing Zhang Yunfei couldn't even block one move from Ye Xiwen.
