Chapter 856: 856
The conclusion of this battle was too fast, so fast that many were left unprepared . Imagine hoping to see a brilliant battle, but the battle was already finished even before one could pay attention, leaving no aftertaste .
“What happened? Marquis Short Sword was too careless, right? Whatever the result, he should have been able to exchange a few moves, shouldn’t he?”
Although Ye Chen’s attack was fast, few people believed the result was due to Marquis Short Sword’s carelessness . Otherwise, how was it possible that he was unable to resist even a single strike with his identity as one of the ten great sword artists of Sky Sword Continent?
On the other hand, Marquis Short Sword was on the verge tears . What carelessness? He was truly incapable of enduring a single sword strike . Although Ye Chen’s strike was not too quick, its trajectory was unfathomable . He could not read it at all!
“F*ck! it’s finally over . Although it was a bit unsightly, others won’t fare better either . I’m waiting for these people to make a joke of themselves . ” This was how people were . If they fell, they wished others to fall with them .
“Such a fast sword!”
Although others were unable to see through Ye Chen’s strike, it didn’t mean Marquis Star Sword couldn’t . Amongst all, he was the only person who could see how frightening Ye Chen’s sword strike was .
“Interesting! Finally a sword artist I can get seriously fight with…” A faint smile appeared on his face .
On the Sky Sword Continent, apart from Marquis Star Sword and Marquis Sword Realm was another peerlessly talented sword artist— Marquis Sword Snow . He looked around twenty years old, more or less the same age as Ye Chen and Dugu Jue . His appearance was delicate, looking more like a boy-next-door . As soon as he appeared, everybody’s faces amongst Sky Sword Continent’s experts, including Marquis Star Sword, turned serious . They had no idea how powerful he had become . This was especially because his cultivation base seemed to have sharply increased inside the Life-and-Death Secret Realm .
Marquis Sword Snow’s opponent was Lu Shaoyou, who was also a sword artist .
Standing about a hundred meters from Marquis Sword Snow, Lu Shaoyou didn’t dare be neglectful in the slightest . Although the former’s body was not exuding any sword aura, as a sword artist, Lu Shaoyou could indistinctly feel that Marquis Sword Snow’s strength was immeasurable and extremely frightening, like a deep water body whose depths could not be measured .
It was completely quiet between the two of them; neither of them made the first move . More than a minute passed by, making many spectators impatient .
Clang!
At that moment, Lu Shaoyou unsheathed his sword in a swift motion, and fierce gales appeared in the void . These gales were condensed from sword Qi and were exceptionally sharp .
Marquis Sword Snow faintly smiled, and snowflakes filled the sky all of a sudden .
“Beautiful!” Jihai Ruo couldn’t help but sigh .
The snowflakes became increasingly bigger before a stunning gust of blood splashed around, dyeing the expanse of snowflakes red and making the scene look like a colorful ink painting .
Lu Shaoyou had lost .
From the start to end, he never managed to see when Marquis Sword Snow unsheathed his sword .
“Snow profound and water profound both are actually eighty percent perfected . ” Ye Chen took a deep breath . Marquis Sword Snow’s strength was beyond his expectations .
Snow profound could actually be considered a part of water profound, but it had some Houtian transformations, making it different . The integration of these profounds made Marquis Sword Snow’s sword arts light and soft . This integration was distinct; for example, the integration of wind profound and water profound, metal profound and earth profound had a lot of variations, whereas the integration of water and snow profound seemed much more unified .
“Seems like another sword artist worth being a true opponent has appeared . ” Marquis Star Sword’s brows relaxed and a faint smile appeared on his face again .
“Haha, it’s my turn . ”
“I’ll beat you in three moves!” Chu Zhongtian sized up Wang Taiyi .
“Dream on!” Wang Taiyi’s face contorted .
“First move!”
Without any special move, Chu Zhongtian fought with pure power and the dark red rapier in his hand emitted a blinding, sun-like blazing radiance .
Bang!
Wang Taiyi was forced back four steps by the strike while the clothes on his chest were burnt black .
“Second move!” Chu Zhontian charged over like an out-of-control horse .
“Die!”
Wang Taiyi extended his hand out and operated his Zhen Yuan to the limits, his five fingers issuing five water-dragon-like gales . The gales interweaved, coiling around Chu Zhongtian .
“Break! Break!”
A red light flickered from amidst and Wang Taiyi’s assault was instantly destroyed . Next, Chu Zhontian rolled over him like a ferocious ancient beast .
“Third move!” Raising his rapier high in the air, Chu Zhongtian forcefully slashed down .
Puff!
Spurting out a mouthful of blood, a greater part of Wang Taiyi’s chest caved in, his internal organs thoroughly crushed .
“This guy is too violent!”
True Spirit Continent’s experts shook their heads, feeling sorry for Wang Taiyi .
Tantai Mingyue’s opponent was Yue Lingshuang . Both had ‘moon’ in their names, and their conduct was also soft, gentle, and ethereal like moonlight, without a trace of disharmony . But Tantai Mingyue was, after all, a monstrous grade genius of True Spirit Continent . Despite all her efforts, Yue Lingshuang couldn’t succeed in any of her attacks and was ultimately defeated . Anyhow, she was thoroughly convinced and accepting of her loss .
Young Elephant’s Lord arrival on the stage immediately heated the atmosphere . His opponent was none other than Qin Tianxiong, who had arrived together with Ye Chen .
Nevertheless, there was no suspense . Young Elephant Lord punched out, shattering the space and almost instantly turning Qin Tianxiong into blood mist .
Following him, Young Undying Demon Lord and Lu Tiandu also swept through their opponents . It seemed that they didn’t reveal even half of their strength . After all, making them use even half of their strength was a remarkable achievement .
As a result, the first round didn’t even take a hour .
Although it was merely the first round, it was not difficult to see who was powerful and who was concealing deeper than the others . Many had already become background characters, whether they were willing or not .
Second Round!
Third Round!
…
After six rounds, everybody had a rough idea of their opponents .
Blood Sky Continent had Young Elephant Lord, Young Undying Demon Lord, and Lashan Mei .
Sword Sky Continent had Marquis Star Sword, Marquis Sword Snow, and Marquis Sword Realm .
True Spirit Continent, on the other hand, seemed almost perverse . Half of its experts seemed powerful: Lu Tiandu, Ye Chen, Xu Jing, Dugu Jue, Chu Zhongtian, Tantai Mingyue, as well as Yan Fengfeng .
As for marine experts, Princess Godhshark and Jiang Tian looked outstanding .
Round seventh, fifth battle…
Ye Chen against Wang Taiyi .
“Long time no see!” Ye Chen faintly smiled at Wang Taiyi .
“Damn it!”
Wang Taiyi’s face was ashen . From the previous six rounds, he was convinced that he was not Ye Chen’s opponent at all . In this duration, Ye Chen had actually matured to such a state, which made him extremely unresigned and sullen .
The battle soon ended and Ye Chen turned around before entering his small chamber . Meanwhile, Wang Taiyi’s forehead had a blood stain on it .
“Seems like I underestimated him in the end . ” Yue Lingshuang didn’t expect this time’s Life and Death Secret Realm’s events to develop in such a manner . Peerless geniuses were popping one after another like weeds after rain . She had originally predicted that it would be hard for Ye Chen to enter the Substitute List . However, going by the current situation, Ye Chen was already a candidate to contend for the top five spots . She could only admit that her thinking back then was too old-fashioned . This time’s Life-and-Death Secret Realm was nothing like the previous ones .
In the eighth round, Marquis Sword Formation defeated Jing Tian from a small opening the latter had revealed . Subsequently, Yan Fenfeng was defeated by the Young Undying Demon Lord . His undying body was indeed a bit too powerful .
Ninth round…
Chu Zhontian faced the Young Undying Demon Lord .
Roar!
Chu Zhongtian didn’t dare be neglectful in the slightest and instantly pushed his strength to limits . Young Undying Demon Lord was ranked fifth last time and was a prime candidate for the top three this time . Apart from Marquis Star Sword, Lu Tiandu, and Young Elephant Lord, people believed that nobody had the qualifications to be his opponent . Of course, they had also included Marquis Sword Snow to some extent among the challengers . After all, the latter’s sword arts were indeed magnificent . To this moment, almost nobody had managed to resist a single sword from him .
Although Ye Chen’s sword arts were also powerful, killing everybody in one strike too, not many believed that he was as powerful as Marquis Sword Snow . Thus, they would naturally not consider him an opponent for the Young Elephant Lord .
“Break!”
Fire and earth Astral Yuan erupted as Chu Zhongtian’s body leapt forth and he slashed his rapier at Young Undying Demon Lord .
Deng!
Young Undying Demon Lord smiled and swatted at the rapier, the immense force making Chu Zhongtian’s body fly back .
“Chaotic Demonic Fist!” Young Undying Demon Lord charged over, his fist art looking incomparably firm and ferocious .
Peng Peng Peng!
The two focused on offense, completely disregarding defense . As far as they were concerned, defense was superfluous . If one had the spare energy to focus on defense, one’d rather focus it on the opponent’s body .
“Too perverse! Is this still considered human?”
“Worthy of being the Young Undying Demon Lord, an expert who exchanged more than a hundred moves with the Young Elephant Lord last time . ”
“This Chu Zhongtian is also quite powerful, actually being able to exchange so many moves with the Young Undying Demon Lord . ”
Seeing such an explosive battle, everybody’s eyes opened wide, afraid to miss the slightest of details .
“This is the Undying Body!”
However, Chu Zhongtian was unable to resist in the end as he had a fleshy body . Although it was Astral Spirit Body, it had its limits . It couldn’t beat the Young Undying Demon Lord’s body which wouldn’t be destroyed no matter how many times it was struck .
Slowly, blood traces began to appear at Chu Zhongtian’s corner of his mouth . The blood flowed turned increasingly pronounced, wriggling down his face like snakes .
“You can be proud of being able to exchange so many moves with me . ” The Young Undying Demon Lord roared with laughter as his punches turned increasingly ferocious and brutal . Swatting off Chu Zhongtian’s right arm, he punched at his chest .
Kacha!
The ribs inside Chu Zhongtian’s chest shattered into many pieces, one of which pierced his heart .
It was Young Undying Demon Lord’s victory!
“This guy!” Although he’d won, his whole body was soaked in sweat . His opponent’s cultivation base was merely at the second layer while was at the peak of the third layer, which gave him a huge advantage from the start . However, this battle was challenging still . He’d never met such a tenacious person aside from the Young Elephant Lord .
The highlight of the tenth round was the match between the Young Undying Lord and Ye Chen .
Up till this moment, Young Undying Demon Lord was the one to encounter the geniuses of True Spirit Continent . Aside from defeating several geniuses who revealed prominent strengths, hje had defeated two shining geniuses: Yan Fengfeng and Chu Zhongtian . And now, it was Ye Chen’s turn .
“This is really setting the stage for him!” Young Elephant Lord smiled . He didn’t believe that Ye Chen had the qualifications to be Young Undying Demon Lord’s opponent .
“I hope his spirit won’t break before the Undying Demon Lord, or else it would be too boring . ” Marquis Star Sword shook his head . He also didn’t think Ye Chen had much of a chance . After all, this was no longer related to one’s battle strength . Even if one’s strength was higher, one wouldn’t be able to prevail unless his battle strength was considerably higher .
Although Young Undying Demon Lord was ranked fifth in the previous rankings, many under him were not weaker than him at all, but were still defeated in the end . Apart from a few people from the True Spirit Continent, nobody was looking favorably on Ye Chen .
‘An existence capable of killing a peak level evil spirit himself, how can he not be able to beat the Young Undying Demon Lord . You all are in for a surprise!’ Qin Tianxiong sneered .
