Chapter 866: Sword Domain Against Sword Domain
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
âThese two finally meet!â Marquis Sword Star also tossed out the gloominess from earlier and focused his attention on Ye Chen and Marquis Sword Snow.
Even if these two didnât use their Sword Domains, they only lacked a bit compared to him, and that was just due to the cultivation base discrepancy. He was already at the peak of the third layer, while these two were only in the second layer. If their cultivation bases were at third layer, he might not be able to win at all. Moreover, he felt that he would be more than likely lose against Marquis Sword Snow as the latterâs Freezing Sword Point was too powerful.
However, once the two used Sword Domain, their strength would increase by ten folds against a sword artist. Any sword artist under Life-and-Death Realm stood no chance against these two. The suppression of Sword Domain was too strong against sword artists. Sword Rule could easily warp the trajectory of their opponentâs sword whilst giving a boost to their own attacks.
âOn the surface, the chances of Marquis Sword Snow seem a bit higher.â Marquis Sword Star said inwardly.
At the center of the chamber, Ye Chen and Marquis Sword Snow stood a hundred meters away from each other.
âIf neither of us had Sword Domain, you wouldnât be my opponent unless you still have a hidden ace.â Marquis Sword Snow said indifferently.
âIs that so?â Ye Chen offered no opinion.
It was just as Marquis Sword Snow said. Without Sword Domain, the strength he had revealed indeed felt a bit shorter than the otherâs. Marquis Sword Snowâs Freezing Sword Point was a powerful ace, whereas heâd shown no such move. Thus, his strength naturally seemed a bit weaker.
Ye Chen had no doubt that he would win once he revealed the Bewitching Mirror Shattering. Marquis Sword Starâs fifth strike was a sure kill move, but his Bewitching Mirror Shattering was also a sure kill move, and was even stronger. It was powerful to the point that it could obliterate a peak level evil spirit.
However, he didnât wish to reveal that move. This was his ace left to deal with Life-and-Death Kings. Admittedly, he had no confidence doing so at the moment, but once his cultivation reached the third layer, he had the confidence to contend against ordinary Kings with the Sky Scorpio Sword in hand and not die. Thus, he couldnât reveal this move yet.
He could not alert the Kings of Blood Sky Continent. For example, Beast King of Young Wolf Lord and Young Tiger Lord would more than likely not let him be. After all, upon missing this once-in-ten-year opportunity of entering the Life-and-Death Secret Realm, the cultivation bases of the former two would certainly lack a lot compared to their peers as there were no life-and-death stones in the world outside.
âBoth our Sword Domains are alike, and Sword Rule is more or less the same as well. If you donât mind, why donât we start normally?â Marquis Sword Snow suggested.
âAlright!â Ye Chen nodded without hesitation.
âWhat is Ye Chen doing? Marquis Sword Snowâs strength is obvious. How is going to win without Sword Domain?â
Hearing Ye Chenâs words, the young experts of True Spirit Continent felt anxious inwardly.
âFighting without Sword Domain?â
The young experts of Blood Sky Continent and Sky Sword Continent shook their heads. They didnât think that Ye Chen had a chance against Marquis Sword Snow without the Sword Domain. In terms of sword arts, Marquis Sword Star was the only person who could suppress Marquis Sword Snow.
âBe careful!â
Marquis Sword Snow took the initiative to attack, and sky-covering snowflakes gushed at Ye Chen. These snowflakes were condensed from sword Qi, and each of them contained a frightening power of compression. They could easily penetrate through Protective Zhen Yuan once they exploded.
Buzz!
On the other side, Ye Chen raised the vibrating Evil Shattering Sword and drew a sword curtain around him.
Crackle!
The snowflakes were repelled off amidst muffled explosions. Although Ye Chenâs Vibration Sword Art was inferior to Lashan Meiâs Demonic Blade Art, the degree of sword Qi compression in the snowflakes was not even a tenth that of Freezing Sword Point. Thus, they were naturally no threat to him.
The snowfall turned more intense and snowflakes became increasingly larger as Marquis Sword Snow shot toward Ye Chen and raised his snow-white longsword. Snowflake-shaped sword Qi filled the chamber, giving off an ice-cold beauty. Ye Chenâs sword arts were nowhere as gorgeous as Marquis Sword Snow, but his sword was much faster; it was fast to the limits of his hands.
Clang Clang Clank Clank!
The two fought on the ground, in the air, on the walls, and everywhere in between. For a while, there was nothing except snowflakes and sword Qi inside the chamber, completely surrounding the two figures.
âWaning Moon!â
With his feet on the wall as if standing on even ground, Ye Chen slashed out a flickering black waning moon.
Marquis Sword Snowâs face had gravened a lot as he realized that he was actually inferior to Ye Chen in terms of skill. In a battle, the two parties could not use their aces at all times and had to exchange normal moves. The more he fought, the more he felt that Ye Chenâs foundation was incredibly sturdy. The latter was able to transform seemingly insignificant details into rare opportunities.
At that moment, Marquis Sword Snowâs body suddenly spun along with the snow-white longsword.
Clang!
Relying on his rotary sword technique, Marquis Sword Snow was able to block Ye Chenâs Waning Moon. However, the immense power also made him fall off the wall and land stumbling on the ground.
Whiz Whiz Whiz!
Countless cold light flashes swarmed Marquis Sword Snow, and behind the flashes, Ye Chenâs figure lay in wait for his moment like a viper.
âSnow Dance Covering Sky!â
The magnitude of snowflakes as well as Marquis Sword Snowâs sword light erupted forth. As a result, densely packed snowflakes, under the effect of an invisible sword Qi, condensed together like a river.
Clatter!
Sword Qi explosions sounded incessantly, and the two figures turned faintly visible amidst dismembered snowflakes.
âBreak!â
Pushing his Vibration Sword Arts to the peak, Ye Chen swept the Evil Shattering Sword through the dismembered snowflakes, tearing a slender sword scar open in the space which slashed at Marquis Sword Snow. The latter couldnât help but admit that he had been careless. He was unexpectedly exploited for an opening and was continuously being suppressed henceforth. Even after using his large scale attacks, there was no progress.
âToo frightening!â
Everybody finally realized Ye Chenâs strength. His strength was low-profile, hiding both a mountain as well as river. Only after battling him would one really experience the astonishing talent of sword arts he possessed. Without the Freezing Sword Point, Marquis Sword Snow was actually being suppressed without a chance to fight back.
Clang Clank!
Huge sparks flew about, melting a large number of snowflakes. Meanwhile, Marquis Sword Snow slid off the ice surface so fast that only his afterimages were left behind.
âUsing ice to pull distance?â
Ye Chen raised his brows but didnât go for the chase. If he were to mindlessly chase, he would only be forced at the receiving end.
Marquis Sword Snow peered from the distance.
âYouâre strong, but you will lose regardless if you donât have a powerful sword art.â Adjusting his breath, Marquis Sword Snow spoke slowly.
âSword moves are to kill, and if they canât, it doesnât matter regardless of how strong they are.â Ye Chen calmly stood in place.
âIn that case, let me see how youâll deal with my Freezing Sword Point!â
Marquis Sword Snow had already adjusted his breath to the optimal state. His figure flickered and shot forth like flickering shadows moving through. His feet were not touching the ground, making him seem like he was gliding across.
âHe is about to use Freezing Sword Point. I canât think how Ye Chen will defend.â
âI reckon he canât unless he uses the Sword Domain.â
The acquaintances amongst the spectators chatted with soul transmissions, feeling increasingly excited.
When the distance between the two was less than ten meters, Marquis Sword Snow waved his sword, causing all the snow floating in the surroundings to condense together in that small area. The snow-white longsword thrust forth, condensing a glass-bead-like white-colored energy sphere.
The space was pierced, freezing at the edges.
âToo fastâŠimpossible to dodge!â
A distance of ten meters was nothing for a top-notch sword artist and could be directly disregarded. Nobody could dodge at such a close distance, because that would imply that movement arts could be faster than sword speed, which was not possible.
At that moment, Ye Chen similarly thrust out the vibrating Evil Shattering Sword, and his speed was much faster than Marquis Sword Snowâs.
âFacing my Freezing Sword Point with vibrational sword arts?â
Marquis Sword Snow had no idea what Ye Chen was thinking. Freezing Sword Point was much more powerful than even Lashan Meiâs Annihilation Chop, while Ye Chenâs vibrational sword arts were even inferior to Lashan Meiâs second blade strike, Demonic Chop.
Clang!
The moment Ye Chen thrust out, his left hand reached out toward the Blood Erosion Sword on his waist and pulled it out, thrusting it forth with the same Vibration Sword Art.
Two Swords!
Dividing the mind!
Ye Chen was the only person who could divide his attention in the midst of an intense battle and still preserve his peak battle strength without a single flow.
âTwo Swords!â Chu Zhongtianâs eyes brightened.
Ye Chen had revealed his dual swords at the southern sectorâs tea gathering. He had always been puzzled about how Ye Chen could be at top of his game even while using two swords.
Peng!
Evil Shattering Sword met with Marquis Sword Snowâs sword. The vibrational power and compression power assaulted each other, counteracting each other while setting off bursts of violent atmospheric explosions.â At the same time, Blood Erosion Sword was heading straight for Marquis Sword Snowâs forehead, just a bit away.
Nobody expected to see such a change, or the fact that Ye Chen would break Marquis Sword Snowâs Freezing Sword Point using two swords. Even though the latterâs Freezing Sword Point still had more than half of its power left and could land on Ye Chenâs body, Ye Chenâs other sword could also pierce Marquis Sword Snowâs head. Overall, Ye Chen actually had a slight advantage.
The weakened Freezing Sword Point was a bit deviated from its path after its bout with the Evil Shattering Sword. It was originally going straight at Ye Chenâs throat, but was now targeting his chest. If Ye Chenâs defenses were powerful, he might be able to survive this strike, but if Marquis Sword Snow was pierced by Ye Chenâs sword, he would die for sure.
âSword Domain!â
âSword Domain!â
The two immediately used the Sword Domain, and two Sword Rules spread out.
Rip!
The Freezing Sword Point pierced air, having suffered an enormous deviation. The storm of sword Qi emanating from it also deviated from its course under the influence of the Sword Rule, not even touching Ye Chen.
Sword Domain could not only influence a swordâs trajectory, but also any other attack issued by a sword. It was as mystical as it was tyrannical.
Marquis Sword Snow missed, but Ye Chen naturally missed as well. Both had simultaneously released their Sword Domains, affecting each other and making sure that neither of them could hurt the other.
