Dominating Sword Immortal - Chapter 669

Chapter 669

“Peak fourth step slaughter sword intent!”

Ye Chen was rather stunned . Peak fourth step Slaughter Sword intent was more or less peak fifth step ordinary sword intent . Although it couldn’t compare to Destruction Sword Intent of the same level, when focused entirely on flesh and vitality, it was actually better than the Destruction Sword Intent .

Almost at the same time, Ye Chen’s forehead swelled slightly, and a strand of boundless Slaughter Sword Intent gushed out . Under its impact, the Elders Hall suddenly darkened as if numerous black holes had suddenly popped out, not allowing even the light to escape .

Puff!

As the two sword intent’s made contact, sounds of muffled explosions and cracks rang out in the void while the space warped slightly . Thereupon, under everybody’s watchful eyes, the chair beside second elder blasted into splinters . With a pale white face and lost expression, the second elder retreated three steps .

“Second elder!”

“Are you alright, second elder?”

Everybody’s face paled with fright .

“I’m fine!”

After two breaths, second elder stabilized himself, looking at Ye Chen with lingering fear . “This is destruction sword intent, a peak attributed sword intent!”

The second elder had bountiful knowledge and experience, and could the attribute of the sword intent at a glance .

Ye Chen knew that the former was testing him . Thus, he had used the same level of Destruction Sword Intent . Moreover, he immediately restrained it upon releasing, meaning only to defend . However, even so, since the essence of Destruction Sword Intent was higher, the Slaughter Sword Intent couldn’t contend with the Destruction Sword Intent .

“You let me win . ” Pulling back his Destruction Sword Intent, Ye Chen spoke calmly .

“Good! Seems like I, Liu Wusheng, have kicked an iron wall this time . Worthy of being the continent’s first Sword Master in centuries . Seems like even I, Silver Sword, am not worthy enough to be in your eyes . ” The second elder heartily laughed with a face full of admiration and amazement .

Ye Chen smiled faintly without replying . The former’s strength was somewhat lacking compared to Master Sky Sword . Thus, if he showed modesty, it would seem too fake, and if he admitted directly, it could easily lead the former to harbor some resentment . Therefore, not speaking was the best option .

“I was worried a little before, but it seems now that my worries were unfounded . You alone are equal to more than a few Sea of Soul realm experts . As for holding you down, I’m afraid it will take dozens of Sea of Soul realm experts and hundreds of Astral Reaching experts to do that . ”

The second elder’s evaluation of Ye Chen was extremely high . He could tell that Ye Chen had stayed his hand just now . As for how strong the latter’s sword intent was, he couldn’t see its depths . However, he knew it was certainly not low . His intuition was telling him that the latter’s sword intent might have exceeded the fourth step and reached the fifth step . But, his reason didn’t let him believe . It simply didn’t seem possible, because the difficulty of raising the Destruction Sword Intent was too high . Even if it weren’t as hard as raising an ordinary sword intent to sixth step, it was not far off .

One equaled to ten—this was a figure of speech, implying one fighting against many by employing guerrilla warfare tactics .

If the second elder were to find out Ye Chen’s true strength, one would have to fear for his chin falling to the ground . Without the Defensive Sword Art, even if Ye Chen had raised his Destruction Sword Intent to the fifth step, he could at most contend against a few dozen enemies, and he still would have to rely on guerrilla tactics . After all, his speed couldn’t let him escape dozens of combined attacks, and neither would his defense be able to keep up . Regardless of how high his offensive power was, it would only help his killing efficiency .

However, with the Defensive Sword Art, Ye Chen could fight from several hundred li away, picking off enemies one by one . In theory, he would be able to kill until his Zhen Yuan or Soul Power dried up . Of course, opponents were no idiots . Once they couldn’t locate the source, they would immediately band together and combine their defenses together . In that case, the sword art might not be as effective . After all, the combined defenses of a dozen experts couldn’t be breached by one person .

For the time being, Ye Chen decided not to reveal the Defensive Sword Art . A good steel should be used on the knife’s edge . He would kill enough first time to break even, as his own strength was more than enough for it . One on one, even Sky Sword Master wouldn’t be able to take a few moves from him . As long as a half-step King didn’t appear, he would be unrivaled .

“Haha…Second elder, it seems like you approve of Ye Chen . ” The speaker was the blunt thirteenth elder who hadn’t spoken until now .

The second elder didn’t take offense and nodded, “Of course, I accept! How can I not? Seeing is believing . Everyone here can see Ye Chen’s strength, so I have no choice but to accept . ”

“Alright! Everybody take your seats! Grand Elder is about to arrive . ” Observing the scene, third elder inwardly nodded and said . Hearing these words, everybody sat down one after another . Ye Chen took the seat beside eighteenth elder as well .

Soon afterward, the grand elder arrived . He didn’t have the second elder’s sharp edge, or the third elder’s majestic countenance . He seemed like a normal old man . However, as soon as he entered, the hall immediately quieted down .

Great Elder stood before the table and swept his gaze . As his gaze passed across Ye Chen, he faintly nodded with a gentle expression .

“Since everybody is here, let’s begin!” Saying that, Great Elder took his seat .

Third Elder waited as the former took his seat, then said to Ye Chen, “I’m gratified that you decide to come . But first and foremost, I’ll remind you again that this time’s sect war is extremely dangerous . It will not be as simple as you think . I personally am against you participating . ”

“That’s right! Your presence is not indispensable . A single individual’s strength can’t have a critical effect in a sect war . Even though you’re powerful, you won’t be able to affect the general situation . We might have to bear the responsibility of your downfall for the sake of preserving a few troops . ”

If the palace was not in such a perilous situation—their four enemies firmly and steadily gaining advantage–there was not a single elder in the association willing to have Ye Chen come over, not even the eighteenth elder . Therefore, they were in quite an awkward situation . On one hand, they were hoping to use Ye Chen’s absolute battle power to gradually recover, or at least ease the tension . However, on the other hand, they didn’t wish to send him into danger .

Ye Chen felt a trace of warmth . Whether these elders had taken a fancy to him due to his talent or they had some other line of thinking, it was enough that they truly cared and didn’t wish for him to take risks . This was the third power Ye Chen approved of after Ye family and Sky Cloud Sect .

Sweeping his gaze, Ye Chen took all their faces into his eyes and spoke,” I, Ye Chen, have walked through dangers through my entire life . Regardless of how dangerous a sect war is, it doesn’t make a difference to me . Moreover, I don’t dare claim that I can seize victory, but I can keep myself alive . I believe that after this time’s sect war, my strength will keep on increasing . However, if I sit back and do nothing when the palace is facing danger, my mental state will face obstruction . ”

Ye Chen’s sword dao was just and straightforward . If he received other’s favor, he naturally had to repay it . Most importantly, he never deliberately avoided danger . Only if the danger was far beyond his ability would he try to mull over the most effective solution .

Moreover, in reality, as long as the Dragon King didn’t reappear, Dragon Celestial Palace would be put in an increasing danger . Perhaps it wasn’t the case at present, but it would happen sooner or later .

But, once the Dragon King came out of seclusion, everything would be solved naturally .
