You Two Should Come at Me Together

"Is that so? I can't beat you? Haha, what a joke. I think the arrogant one is you!" Yan laughed wildly and clenched his fist.

"Chu Ye, take my punch!!"

Flames surged up over Yan's fist, and it seemed to be covered in a layer of hard skin as well. He charged forward at high speed and threw a punch.

Chu Ye raised the Sword of Gods and Demons, his body moving with the sword.

Seeing that Chu Ye dared to clash head-on with him, Yan was extremely disdainful. "Heh. A Beast Spirit is strengthened by Martial Soul Possession. In the early stages, its strength surpasses a Weapon Spirit's, not to mention there's a one-ring gap between us."

"You dare face me head-on? You overestimate yourself!"

"If we're fighting, then fight. You really do talk too much crap!" Chu Ye said speechlessly.

The two of them were like parallel lines about to intersect, rushing toward each other at high speed. Chu Ye showed not the slightest fear and struck out with his sword.

Bang!

Chu Ye's sword and Yan's fist collided head-on, accompanied by two surges of Soul Power as they clashed fiercely against each other.

"How is that possible? I actually don't have the upper hand at all!" Yan was shocked inwardly, but he did not lose his composure. A left hook came swinging in.

Chu Ye quickly backflipped and pulled away.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

But right after that, Yan used the traits of his own Martial Soul to condense several rocks and smash them over.

Chu Ye swung the Sword of Gods and Demons, cutting apart the rocks before him one by one.

Using that opening, Yan charged at Chu Ye once more, and the two began a fierce close-quarters battle.

Bang! Bang!

Every sword strike, every move, and every form Chu Ye used was extremely crisp and clean, without the slightest wasted motion. The Sword of Gods and Demons seemed nimble and free in his hands, blocking and attacking.

This was one of the great benefits of mastering Sword Intent: he could use a sword with far greater ease.

"This guy's combat skills seem even stronger now." Yu Hu, watching from the side, was deeply shocked. If he fought the current Chu Ye, he probably would be no match for him at all.

On the platform, the two fought fiercely for a while.

A sharp aura suddenly surged from Chu Ye's body. After that, the speed of his sword suddenly became several times faster, leaving Yan unable to react for a moment.

Pfft!

"Ahhhhh!!"

Chu Ye's sword stabbed into Yan's abdomen, and the accompanying Soul Power impact directly sent Yan flying.

"Yan!!"

Xie Yue hurriedly caught Yan, preventing him from falling to the ground.

Yan lay in Xie Yue's arms, staring in disbelief at the abdomen that had been stabbed. Blood slowly flowed out, leaving his expression dazed. "He actually broke through my defense..."

"When did he become this strong?"

A Beast Spirit could strengthen the body. The Flame Lord Martial Soul's traits were flame and hard rock, so it could allow Soul Power to form and cover the skin with a kind of rock defense. On top of that, Soul Power could also be used to protect the body, reducing damage once more.

Among those of the same level, almost no one could break Yan's defense, yet Chu Ye had easily stabbed into his body.

"I told you that you couldn't beat me alone, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've suffered for it, haven't you? Got slapped in the face, didn't you?"

"Damn it! Again!" Yan shoved Xie Yue away and still wanted to fight, having already lost his calm.

Chu Ye shook his head. "You two should come at me together."

These so-called geniuses with higher levels than him always started off looking arrogant and conceited. Once they discovered reality was vastly different from what they imagined, they could not accept it and lost their composure.

That, in turn, made them even weaker. At a time like this, Chu Ye could actually defeat Yan very easily.

But he did not want to defeat Yan and Xie Yue in this way. He wanted to face them openly and honorably in a one-versus-two and knock them both down!

"God-Demon Sword Intent!"

At that moment, an extremely sharp aura radiated from Chu Ye's body. He slowly raised the Sword of Gods and Demons, his presence pressing down on them.

"That's... Sword Intent!"

"This kid has actually mastered Basic Sword Intent at such a young age. Could it be..." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked toward Qian Daoliu, who was also watching the battle. He seemed to have already guessed something.

Chu Ye's display of Sword Intent also greatly shocked the other elders. Although they did not practice the sword, they could still see it.

"Something's wrong!"

Xie Yue grabbed Yan and said with great wariness, "Yan, stop acting on impulse. Chu Ye is different from three months ago. We have to attack together, or we might really lose!"

"Tch." Yan was very unconvinced, but after seeing Chu Ye's current aura, he had already compromised inwardly.

"Go!"

Xie Yue and Yan finally attacked together.

"First Spirit Ability, Crescent Slash!"

Whoosh!

Clang! Clang, clang, clang!

Xie Yue's figure was extremely fast, slashing at Chu Ye repeatedly from every angle.

Chu Ye focused his attention to the extreme and blocked Xie Yue's attacks one by one with his sword. Although he blocked them all, he did not realize Yan was coming from behind.

Chu Ye instinctively turned and swung his sword, but Yan's goal was to knock away Chu Ye's Sword of Gods and Demons.

Bang!

Clang!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Sword of Gods and Demons successfully slipped from Chu Ye's hand, punched into the sky, where it spun rapidly in midair.

"His sword is out of his hand! Xie Yue, now!"

This was an excellent opportunity for the two of them. All the onlookers held their breath and watched nervously, because this chance might be the first moment Chu Ye fell into a disadvantage.

But even so, there was still not the slightest panic on Chu Ye's face. He remained exceptionally calm.

"Heh."

The corners of his mouth lifted in an almost imperceptible smile. Then he sprang up from where he stood and kicked toward Yan. Borrowing the force of that kick against Yan's body, he leaped up and closed in on the Sword of Gods and Demons in the air.

Xie Yue also leaped high, intending to slash with both blades.

But at that moment, Chu Ye had already grabbed the hilt of the Sword of Gods and Demons again. With a loud shout, he slashed down from the sky!

Bang!!!

"Ahhh..."

Xie Yue was struck down from midair by Chu Ye's sword and crashed to the ground.

"So strong..." Many disciples were already staring in a daze. Even the Soul Elder-level disciples felt deeply shaken at this moment.

"Damn it!"

With Yan's help, Xie Yue quickly stood up. The two immediately chose to pull back, thinking as they retreated.

"Yan! We have to cooperate!" Xie Yue was someone who fought with his head. Right now, he regretted it deeply. He had not trained two-person combat with Yan, nor had he thought through strategies for fighting as a pair.

However, he quickly came up with a plan.

In just a few short sentences, Yan understood the plan Xie Yue had devised.

"Second Spirit Ability, Moon Wheel Flying Blade!!"

Xie Yue moved first. His Martial Soul connected together, forming a round moon wheel. The moon wheel flew toward Chu Ye, carrying a locking and tracking effect. No matter how Chu Ye dodged, the moon wheel would fly toward him.

Chu Ye dodged quickly, and the moon wheel kept following close behind him, but his gaze flicked toward Yan from time to time.

Chu Ye sensed that Yan was waiting for an opportunity. He was preparing to use a spirit ability.

"Heh. So that's it."

Chu Ye saw through Xie Yue's plan. He went along with it, stopped in his tracks, and no longer dodged. Instead, he swung his sword with all his might at the Moon Blade.

Zzzzzzt!

The Moon Blade kept spinning, grinding against the Sword of Gods and Demons with a rasping sound.

"Now! Yan! Do it!"
