"How is that possible?"
The crowd erupted in chaos.
They stared in disbelief at the figure above the tower. If Ye Qingchen was still at the Night Heaven Tower, then the one who was thrown down must be...
"Ye Qingchen!"
As they pondered this.
An angry roar came from the deep pit, and simultaneously, a fierce gale swept through, scattering the dust to reveal the figure of Xie Xiaofeng.
Xie Xiaofengâs eyes were like ice.
Originally.
He planned to kill Ye Qingchen today to uphold the dignity of the Xingyue Alliance with his blood. But he never imagined that he would be publicly thrown out by Ye Qingchen.
How could he endure this?
"Itâs not over yet!"
Boom!
Xie Xiaofeng stepped forward, his right hand swiftly forming a sword technique.
"Rise!"
"Clang!"
A crisp sword sound echoed.
In that instant, everyone only saw a radiant white rainbow flash, like the sun at noon, blinding to the naked eye. Boundless violent sword qi swept forth, stirring a whirlwind around them.
Night Heaven Sword!
The sword that guards Divine Sword Manor, forged by the first Manor Master. This sword is three feet seven inches long, crafted in the image of an Ancient Godâs Sword. The sword was heavy and seamless, only usable by the direct descendants of Divine Sword Manor!
The sword had been stained with the blood of seventy-two of the strongest Celestial Saints, both righteous and evil, both divine and demonic. Because of this sword, the Celestial God Sect allowed the existence of Divine Sword Manor.
Now.
To deal with Ye Qingchen, Xie Xiaofeng had summoned the Night Heaven Sword!
"Boom!"
As the sword emerged.
The crowd around was captivated by the sword qi, retreating several steps.
The Village Chief of Mad Saber Stronghold gripped the Yanling Saber tightly, his battle intent ebbing like a tide:
"As cultivators, though weâre unafraid to fight, to know weâre outmatched and still act recklessly isnât bravery, itâs foolishness!"
The members of the other seven great forces also looked serious.
Xie Xiaofengâs strike meant there was no turning back, fighting to the death.
"Ha!"
In the midst of astonishment.
Xie Xiaofeng swung his sword effortlessly, moving with the sword, becoming a dragon soaring through the clouds, bringing brilliant sword light upward to the Night Heaven Tower.
To observers, it looked like a rainbow spanning the sun, a star river overturned.
In a moment.
The entire night sky was as bright as day.
"Hmph!"
Ye Qingchen snorted coldly, raising his hand for a grip.
That grip seemed to catch the wind.
The entire void shuddered, the surrounding air trembled, the gale reversed, swiftly forming a blue sword blade, crashing down with a mighty force against Xie Xiaofengâs sword light!
"Boom!"
The loud roar echoed, sword qi exploded, and the world quaked.
A brilliant sword light extended from the clash between the two swords, spreading in all directions. Then the ensuing shock revealed the sharpness, sweeping across hundreds of feet.
Aside from the strongest Celestial Saints, almost no one could remain standing.
"Such power!"
The crowd was shocked.
"Who will win?"
More people widened their eyes, staring at the sky intently.
They saw Ye Qingchenâs lifted hand intercept Xie Xiaofengâs skyward momentum. His overwhelming sword failed to score, his figure repelled several feet, while Ye Qingchen stood firm!
"Hmph!"
After a failed strike, Xie Xiaofengâs figure shook, transforming into a streak of motion, appearing behind Ye Qingchen unexpectedly. The Night Heaven Sword brought forth a menacing sword light, swiftly slicing across.
The sword light almost condensed into a thread, cutting through the void, a sign of the sword qiâs concentration!
As he drew his sword.
The next moment, Xie Xiaofeng suddenly vanished, reappearing at Ye Qingchenâs left side. His right hand flipped, the Night Heaven Sword struck down, resembling a massive column of light crashing from afar.
Before this sword landed, Xie Xiaofeng stepped forward, appearing in front of Ye Qingchen, thrusting directly, his entire being fiercely diving like a dragon.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
In an instant.
In everyoneâs eyes, Xie Xiaofeng seemed to possess external manifestations, transforming into countless figures scattered across the sky. Simultaneously, they attacked. Each strike was Divine Sword Manorâs secret technique, unrivaled in the Western domain.
Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the sky-covering attacks descended in unison, surrounding Ye Qingchen fiercely!
"Bring it on!"
Facing the overwhelming assaults, Ye Qingchen showed no fear, instead laughed heartily.
Crash!
They saw his long hair flutter, his robe billowing, battle intent surging like tides.
Facing the storming attacks, Ye Qingchen stepped forward, raised his hand and formed a sword light, creating a brilliant sword wheel that enveloped a hundred-foot radius in an instant.
Those sky-covering attacks, sweeping like mighty torrents, seemed ready to drown everything. But crashing against the sword wheel, it was as if hitting a reef, shattering instantly!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The exploding sword qi, at this time, poured forth relentlessly, sweeping towards the surroundings.
"Run quickly!"
"Is this a duel between two people? Clearly, theyâre Immortals!"
"Caught in their battle, even the strongest Celestial Saint would cough blood and perish!"
Many observing martial artists had to retreat repeatedly.
Several were so frightened they screamed, retreating to the streetâs end, eventually losing sight of Ye Qingchen and Xie Xiaofengâs figures. They only saw the radiant sword lights Xie Xiaofeng had transformed into, like serpents circumscribing the Night Heaven Tower.
No matter how frightening Xie Xiaofengâs attacks were, Ye Qingchen easily obstructed them.
"Thatâs too powerful, isnât it?"
Lin Pojun was so surprised that his mouth hung open.
The day at Medicine King Pavilion, he witnessed Ye Qingchen obliterate the Sword Slave with a finger, knowing his terrifying strength. Yet he never grasped the extent of Ye Qingchenâs power.
Now, with their battle sweeping through Celestial Sword City, he realized what the name âMr. Yeâ truly meant.
"Xie Xiaofeng, is this your only trick?" Ye Qingchenâs voice echoed from the light and shadow, "Is this all Divine Sword Manor has? If so, Iâm greatly disappointed!"
"Hmph!"
Hearing Ye Qingchen, Xie Xiaofengâs eyes filled with anger. "Ye Qingchen, youâre too arrogant. Do you think Iâve shown all my techniques? Prepare to be defeated!"
In the void, voices seemed to come from every direction, every figure speaking.
They saw.
Xie Xiaofengâs right hand circle.
Instantly, the various figures seemed to return, merging back into his original form. Concurrently, the sky-covering attacks fused into an unmatched point of sword light.
At the same time.
This sword, in this moment, like rain falling from the heavens, descended directly, aimed at Ye Qingchen!
