It has to be said.
It's no wonder that Xuanyuan Che became the number one among the younger generation of the Xuanyuan Clan and the fourth-ranked sword cultivator on the Cangxuan Ranking.
Xuanyuan Che and frank character, speaking his mind directly, is a standard by which a sword cultivator can achieve something.
This is also the main reason why Ye Qiubai was willing to fight Xuanyuan Che.
But.
The inner court students of the Cangxuan Academy who witnessed this scene had a different perspective.
The scenes they had just witnessed had blasted their minds into a pulp, like a series of thunderous roars.
The conversation between Xuanyuan Che and Ye Qiubai has left them somewhat bewildered.
Perhaps there was just too much information...
After they had processed the conversation, a look of horror slowly appeared in their eyes.
Does Ye Qiubai have a grudge against the Xuanyuan Clan?
So, does the Xuanyuan Clan intend to deal with Ye Qiubai? Even going so far as to send high-ranking combatants to kill a junior?
They knew very well that an High Antiquity Aristocratic Clan like the Xuanyuan Clan, a top-tier power, would never stoop so low as to send its elders to deal with a junior.
But... it seems the Xuanyuan Clan intends to do this for Ye Qiubai.
Not only that, Xuanyuan Che's words now implied that he cherished Ye Qiubai's talent.
He didn't even favor his own clan, the Xuanyuan Clan, believing that the Xuanyuan Clan would definitely suffer a loss against Ye Qiubai.
If someone else had said these words, they might have just laughed dismissively and called it wishful thinking.
But this is Xuanyuan Che!
Before they could think further, both Xuanyuan Che and Ye Qiubai began to unleash their full power without reservation.
The power of the Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation and the Sword Dao Rules began to clash fiercely, yet they remained evenly matched.
Obviously.
Xuanyuan Che's Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation Demigod Realm combined with the Sword Dao Law is in a state of equilibrium with Ye Qiubai's Second-Level Lightning Tribulation Demigod Realm combined with the Power of Rules of Sword Dao.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but laugh loudly, "As expected of the Sword Dao Rules, they can actually compensate for so many cultivation levels. No wonder Junru suffered such a miserable defeat at your hands."
Ye Qiubai shrugged noncommittally, "Among the younger generation, your Sword Dao is the strongest I've ever seen."
Of course, this excludes Ye Qiubai himself.
"If someone else said that, I'd consider it flattery, but I believe it when you say it." Xuanyuan Che nodded seriously. "The flattery is over, let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Che his three-foot-long sword and slashed at Ye Qiubai without holding back!
The moment Xuanyuan Che unleashed his sword strike, the surging, violent aura surrounding him seemed to vanish in an instant.
It didn't disappear; rather, it was completely gathered around Xuanyuan Che and onto the longsword in his hand, without leaking out in the slightest!
Only Ye Qiubai, who was targeted by Xuanyuan Che, understood just how terrifying that sword strike was.
Even though he had grasped the Sword Dao Rules, he still had to be extremely careful under the opponent's sword strike.
Thinking about this...
Without almost any hesitation, Ye Qiubai flicked the Cloud Azure Sword in his hand, and the Sword Domain instantly unfolded!
The surrounding sword cultivators and Yao Zhun were also enveloped in the mist.
They were all shocked to feel their Sword Dao being completely suppressed.
Looking up at Ye Qiubai at the very center, Ye Qiubai seemed to be the sole sovereign of Sword Dao in this world!
As Xuanyuan Che rapidly approached, he felt the Sword Domain's body tremble violently.
"Although I knew from intelligence that you had a method to suppress sword cultivators and made preparations in advance, the actual feeling is still different..."
Xuanyuan Che murmured, but still forced his Sword Intent to circulate within his body with the cultivation of the Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation, maintaining his original speed as he approached Ye Qiubai, and slashed out with his long sword!
To outsiders, this sword strike appeared ordinary and unremarkable, nothing special, just a common slash.
But as the long sword slowly grew larger in his pupils, Ye Qiubai sensed that he was surrounded by sword lights, and no matter which direction he moved, he would be eroded by the sword lights!
The position was completely blocked, forcing Ye Qiubai to meet Xuanyuan Che Yuanche's sword head-on...
However, Ye Qiubai hadn't originally intended to avoid it.
Presumably, Xuanyuan Che didn't hold back with that sword strike...
Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai's expression became slightly solemn. He took a deep breath, and Intent of Unending Life began to gather on the Cloud Azure Sword.
At that moment, the Cloud Azure Sword erupted with a sharp sword cry! It trembled violently with a constant buzzing sound!
That's not all.
The Ashen Fire began to climb the Cloud Azure Sword in circles, like vines!
Sensing the aura that was full of vitality yet accompanied by a sharp and endless sense of destruction, the surrounding students couldn't help but retreat.
Yao Zhun had long since distanced himself from them, and watching Ye Qiubai from behind, he gritted his teeth and said, "How could such a sword cultivator possibly appear in a barbarian land?"
Previously, Ye Qiubai said that the Cangxuan Sword Technique was not very good, and I thought Ye Qiubai was just boasting.
But seeing the Swordsmanship Ye Qiubai is about to unleash...
Yao Zhun couldn't help but swallow hard.
Compared to this Swordsmanship, the Cangxuan Sword Technique is indeed not even worthy of carrying shoes... A sword cultivator capable of unleashing such Swordsmanship is certainly qualified to say such a thing.
"The sixth sword of the Primordial Sword Scripture..." Ye Qiubai slightly raised the Cloud Azure Sword in his hand and murmured, " Ashen Fire, Three Origins Transforming into Purity Sword!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Facing Xuanyuan Che, Ye Qiubai unleashed a slash!
However, it was clearly only one sword strike.
However, three slashes came hurtling towards Xuanyuan Che, one from the left, one from the right, and one from the front!
Wherever the three swords passed, the space was torn apart, and black flames burned continuously on the cuts, seemingly never to be extinguished.
Xuanyuan Che's expression was solemn.
These three sword strikes were undoubtedly genuine slashes.
He understood that if he didn't stop all three attacks, he would be seriously injured...
However, to stop them would mean giving up the attack on Ye Qiubai.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Che's gaze gradually hardened.
In a narrow encounter, the brave will prevail!
Giving up the attack at this point would mean retreating, which is not in line with Xuanyuan Che's character.
The two men's faces were getting closer and closer, and they could both see a sinister, Battle Intent smile on each other's lips.
Under the tense gaze of everyone.
Ye Qiubai's Three Origins Transforming into Purity Sword pierced through Xuanyuan Che's body.
Xuanyuan Che's full-force sword strike pierced through Ye Qiubai's body.
The two seemed to have switched places, standing where they had been before.
However, neither of them moved.
This scene lasted for a full five breaths.
Suddenly, three blood lines burst open on Xuanyuan Che's chest, and blood gushed out!
Xuanyuan Che also fell straight down.
At the same time.
Ye Qiubai also had a gruesome wound burst open on his left chest, and he collapsed, his life force waning.
Both sides suffer heavy losses!
But... they all harbored a thought they dared not admit.
That means Ye Qiubai is stronger than Xuanyuan Che...
It should be noted that Ye Qiubai has only Second-Level Lightning Tribulation, while Xuanyuan Che has already passed the Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation!
What if we put the two of them at the same level?
What would be the result?
I'm afraid only one person will fall today...
===========
P. S.: I made another boast and didn't finish it... I thought I could catch up in a few days, sorry guys.
This is the second chapter from yesterday (I only had time to write one chapter because I was rushing to catch a flight, sorry). I still owe 17 chapters in total, so I'll add interest and give you three more as punishment for not finishing. In total, I'll have to make up for 20 chapters.
However, I'll have to wait until I get back in a few days. I'm currently participating in writers' association activities and can only manage to update at least two chapters per day. I'll make up for it when I get back.
