"Boom!"
The two stood there, their invisible auras fully unleashed.
Without any movement or further words, after a simple introduction, they moved to an open space!
The wind and clouds shifted, their imposing presence overwhelming. The two were like peerless divine swords, their sword qi soaring into the heavens.
"I am Ye Yang, the disgraced Young Sect Master of the Ye Family."
Ye Yang hid nothing. His reputation as trash was already widely known. The world only knew one side of him, not the other, because his body already housed a different soul.
Hummm.
Just as the two finished their introductions and were about to make a move, an invisible, immense force converged upon them, forming a sturdy formation.
"Alright, I have used my cultivation and skills to set up a formation. Anyone below the Martial Emperor realm can go all out. You can spar freely, but remember one thing: stop when you reach a stalemate. Do not kill in a fit of rage."
The Abbot of White Cloud was also very expectant. One was his grand-disciple, and the other was the descendant of his old friend. Who was stronger would be immediately apparent. And he had a more important matter to confirm!
"Forgive me, Big Brother Ye!" Qin Tian said without hesitation. He had reservations earlier.
If he went all out, he feared he might damage the surrounding flora. Now that his Grand-Master had intervened, he had no such worries.
From the day he joined White Cloud Temple, he had never seen his Grand-Master so happy, nor had he ever seen him make a move. Witnessing it today was truly eye-opening for him.
He had gritted his teeth and persevered through countless nights when he wanted to give up. Now, sparring with young Heaven's Chosen of his generation was the opportunity he had longed for.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned all his attention, and an ancient long blade appeared in his hand.
"Seven Forms of Heaven's Rupture, First Form: Startled Swan Slash!"
He slashed backward at Ye Yang, transforming into an afterimage. The air itself screamed with a sonic boom, as if it were burning.
The attack was powerful and heavy, possessing the supreme might to cleave mountains and stones. This simple strike was impossible to look at directly, let alone resist.
"Well done, grand-disciple. I never expected you to have comprehended the Seven Forms of Heaven's Rupture to such a degree, wielding your blade with such freedom, achieving Man and Blade as One. Congratulations."
The Abbot of White Cloud remained detached from worldly affairs, transcendent as if outside the mortal realm. Yet, various powers had to show him respect and give him some face.
"This is exhilarating! I've never encountered a situation like this, where I can unleash my full strength. Since this is a good opportunity, I won't hold back. Take this!"
Ye Yang initially thought his opponent was just all show. Only when they truly clashed did he realize this was a practice session to prepare him.
"Mountain Shattering Fist, All Laws Return to One!"
Gathering his strength, he clenched his fist tightly, accumulating power before pushing it towards the opponent's unblockable blade.
"Big Brother Ye, you're courting death!"
Seeing Ye Yang without a weapon, directly swinging his fist to meet his killing blow, was astonishing!
"Good lad, your physical body is indeed powerful. Although you are only at the Martial Master realm, your physical strength rivals that of a Martial Saint!"
The Abbot of White Cloud stroked his beard, watching the duel between the two Heaven's Chosen with a smile, showing his satisfaction.
Boom!
A miracle occurred at that moment. The instant the two clashed, Ye Yang's bare fist met the opponent's ancient long blade, emitting a crisp sound.
Hummm!
One staggered back more than ten steps before stabilizing, while the other remained motionless. With only a slight tremor in his shoulder, he had neutralized the immediate danger.
"Big Brother Ye, I am incredibly impressed. I never expected you to possess such strength; I underestimated you."
Young Qin Tian, along with his elder brother Qin Hao, were twins and unique existences within both White Cloud Temple and Azure Cloud Sword Sect. Sometimes, they could enter a state of enlightenment. Whether that would happen this time was something to anticipate.
"Big Brother Ye, if you don't even have a proper weapon, isn't it unfair for me to fight you like this? Hurry and pick one."
Qin Tian was unstoppable, preparing to press his advantage and make the young man before him kneel and surrender.
However, when they truly began to fight, he realized how naive all his thoughts were.
"Very well. Great skill lies in simplicity. Concealing the sword within the edge. Since that is the case, I will use this to fight you."
The powerful surge of energy had spread outwards. Although it was confined within a certain area, a nearby large tree had its branches shattered by the shockwaves from their collision!
"Big Brother Ye, are you looking down on me? Trying to fight me with just a tree branch, what is the meaning of this?"
Qin Tian dared not relax in the slightest, for he understood that once on the arena, there could only be a decisive battle to the end.
"Enough. True masters can turn anything into a peerless divine weapon. A mere tree branch is sufficient. If I weren't considering your feelings, I could have done it with just my fists.
Ye Yang deliberately chose a tree branch. It looked very sturdy, but in reality, it could bear the power of his Great Path without any issue.
"Again!"
One wave had not subsided before another rose. The two collided once more.
"Haha, exhilarating..."
Their bodies moved like startled swans. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged several more rounds, still evenly matched, neither gaining an advantage.
"Again!"
Within the designated area, they were omnipotent, capable of traversing heaven and earth. One moment they were there, the next they appeared elsewhere, making them impossible to fathom.
"Indeed, my elder brother was right. They look ostentatious and foolish, but in reality, they are wise fools, true masters."
As time passed, the gap between the two completely revealed itself at this moment.
A tree branch, in Ye Yang's hands, performed with an effect comparable to a divine weapon.
Each time, he was able to dissolve danger into nothingness, thereby exploiting the opponent's weaknesses to launch a fatal counterattack.
Several times, Qin Tian had nearly fallen into a dangerous situation.
"No, this can't go on. I need to think of a way."
The long blade in his hand vibrated non-stop, emitting a clear, ringing sound.
The blade moved like a dragon, its aura astonishing.
He had thought he could resolve this trouble, but now it seemed that was just his wishful thinking.
"Good, good, good. It seems I can't achieve victory quickly without using my true strength. Since that's the case, I'll let you try my secret killing move, Dual Blades Mastery!"
The two collided once more, each retreating a hundred meters before stopping.
One person with a tree branch, the other with a blade, they faced each other across the void, standing tall in the air.
"Oh, are you finally getting serious? I'm quite looking forward to seeing what kind of strength you possess."
"Big Brother Ye, I didn't mean to do this, but you've forced my hand. Since that's the case, let me personally verify whether you are a genius or an idiot?"
One had just finished warming up, while the other was getting into the groove and preparing to unleash his trump card. What kind of sparks would fly when these two collided again? We shall see.
