Wait to Be Astonished

This battle ended far too quickly—so quickly that many people were not prepared for it. It was like wanting to watch an incomparably thrilling fight, only to find that the battle had already ended the moment you came to your senses, leaving not even a lingering aftertaste to savor.

"What was that? Shortsword Marquis was far too careless! He should at least have held on for a few more moves, right?"

Although Ye Chen's sword-drawing speed had been fast, some still believed that Shortsword Marquis had been careless. Otherwise, as one of the Ten Swords of Sky Sword Continent, it was impossible for him not to withstand even a single sword strike.

Shortsword Marquis was practically on the verge of tears. Careless my ass! He truly could not take even one sword strike. Ye Chen's sword had not only been fast, but its trajectory had been utterly nonexistent. He simply could not exert his strength.

"Damn it, it's finally over. It might have looked ugly, but the others may not fare any better. I'll wait to see them make fools of themselves." People were like this. If they could not make it themselves, they hoped to see others fail as well. That was the logic of smashing a broken pot after it had already cracked.

"What a fast sword!"

Others might not have seen the mystery behind it, but that did not mean Star Sword Marquis could not. Among everyone present, only he understood best just how terrifying Ye Chen's sword strike had been.

"Interesting. I've finally found a swordsman worthy of making me fight seriously."

A smile appeared on Star Sword Marquis's face.

Besides Star Sword Marquis and Sword Array Marquis, the two supremely powerful swordsmen of Sky Sword Continent, there was another stunningly gifted genius swordsman—Snow Sword Marquis.
