Chapter Forty-Four: The Stellar Sword Technique

  Sorry for the late update. I'll update tomorrow afternoon and try to do three chapters. Hope you guys keep voting, aiming to break 300 today. Thanks in advance!

  Struggling to suppress his anger, Ye Ba Tian glared at Ye Chen with a fierce gaze and shouted at the crowd: "During the martial arts competition, all of you be quiet!"

  At the words, the entire school grounds fell silent, with no one daring to confront Ye Batian who was in a state of fury. Not to mention that his opponent was a high-ranking inner sect elder of the Purple Sun Sect, he himself was also a late-stage Wudang martial artist, and in the Ye family as well as Luocheng, he was a number one figure. It could be said that if Ye Batian stomped his foot, Luocheng would tremble three times.

  Ye Tianhao let out a sigh of relief and said to the servant beside him, "Bring over another VIP seat."

  "Yes."

  Several servants left with their heads down.

  Lin Chengzhu's face was slightly awkward, and he smiled bitterly at Ye Tianhao: "Master Ye, I didn't expect your son to be hiding so deeply, it really surprised me."

  "The dust has just returned for a few days, and I don't know much about his strength." Ye Tianhao's heart was filled with pride, as if he had eaten honey. In the True Spirit Continent, apart from personal strength being the most important, having a good junior is something that everyone dreams of, especially for large families or sects. After all, if the younger generation has low talent and can't keep up, the family will eventually decline. But if there are constantly talented juniors, the entire family will prosper forever, and may even lead the family to greater heights."

  Yeh Tian Hao had previously abandoned this idea, but now it has been rekindled and is burning brighter than ever, giving him a hundredfold boost in spirit.

  Ye Ba Tian said in a gloomy tone: "At such a young age, you already have such deep schemes, it's going to be great when you grow up, Ye Tian Hao, your son is well-taught."

  Ye Tianhao sneered: "Win or lose is a common occurrence for warriors, can't just let your son win, my son must lose!"

  "To win by doing such a despicable thing, forgive me for speaking bluntly, it's hard to become a great talent in the future."

  "Then let's wait and see!"

  The two men's opposition to each other was not a recent development, as they had been at odds with each other since childhood, constantly fighting and trying to outdo one another. Later, Ye Tianhao succeeded his father as the head of the Ye family, while Ye Bazhong rose through the ranks in the Ziyang Sect, and their struggle gradually subsided, no longer as intense as it had been before.

  On the judge's bench, the three elders were in a daze for half a day, until one of the elders patted him and he came to his senses. He shouted loudly: "Ye Chen wins! The next match is Ye Hai versus Ye Xuan."

  With a plop, the three elders sighed and said: "He's really an outstanding junior, Ye Tianhao has given birth to a good son."

  "It's not possible, with the cultivation of the 10th layer of Qi Refining Realm to defeat Ye Tang in the early stages of Condensing Reality Realm. This is even more difficult than a normal cross-level challenge, I really don't know how he did it?" The Second Elder gazed intensely at Ye Chen below, as if trying to see through him from inside out.

  The elderly man sitting in the middle reminded the two: "It's okay to say it in front of me, but never mention it to Ye Batian."

  "We certainly know this."

  "The game has started, I wonder if there will be any surprises next?"

  In the middle of the schoolyard, Ye Hai and Ye Xuan struggled to calm the shock in their hearts. After a moment, they both raised their eyes at the same time, staring tightly at each other.

  "Within a hundred moves, you will surely lose." Ye Xuan's palm rested on the hilt of his sword as he said calmly.

  Ye Hai burst out laughing, "I didn't think I could last over a hundred moves in your hands, not bad, but I want to last over three hundred moves, how about it?"

  "Then give it a try!"

  Clang!

  The sword left its scabbard, Ye Xun's foot tapped the ground, and in the process of sweeping horizontally, the long sword in his hand burst out with a few starlights, enveloping Ye Hai's entire body.

  "Good swordsmanship, but not enough to watch." Ye Haohan's heroic spirit was overwhelming, the knife behind his back automatically came out of its scabbard and fell into his hand. Upon closer inspection, the surface of this knife was densely covered with blood lines, as if it had been soaked in human blood when it was forged. Just one glance made people's scalps numb.

  "Blood Blade Eight Methods!"

  A crimson glow of knives danced together, enveloping Ye Hai within, and from time to time one or two rays of light would break away and fly towards Ye Xuan.

  Ding ding ding ding ding...

  Ye Xuan was not Ye Tang, she had already solidified her true energy and taken a big step forward, reaching the peak of the early stage of the Condensing True Realm. Her true energy was thick and long-lasting, continuous and uninterrupted. No matter how tight Ye Hai's defense was or how fierce his attack was, he couldn't stop her from advancing.

  The sword light penetrated into the knife light, and Ye Hai's clothes on his shoulder suddenly burst open.

  "Good fellow." Ye Hai furrowed his brow, and in the instant he jumped back, a knife slashed out diagonally.

  Wow!

  A flash of detached sword light cut through the air and shot towards Ye Xuan.

  Ye Xuan sneered, his left hand covered with a layer of glassy color, and he chopped the knife light into pieces with one palm. At the same time, his right hand shook the long sword, and the starlight was dazzling, making Ye Hai's eyes blurred.

  One step, two steps, three steps...... ten steps.

  Ye Hai retreated ten paces before releasing his strength, and for a moment he was shocked. The opponent's strength was higher than his estimate. If it weren't for the fact that his master had taught him one or two killer moves, he wouldn't be her match. Even so, his chances of winning didn't exceed 60%.

  There was no way out, Ye Hai took a deep breath, and his robes puffed up all over his body.

  "Duan Shan He!"

  One sword swung out, and the air rippled like water waves, with a heavy breath that seemed to suppress Ye Xuan's advance like a mountain.

  The VIP seat has been replaced, and Ye Tianhao's eyes lit up as he sat down. "It's the famous Duan Yue guest's signature move, the Duan Yue knife technique. No, it should be a simplified version of the Duan Yue knife technique. I wonder what method Ye Xuan will use to counter it."

  Lin Chengzhu nodded, "The Duan Yue knife technique of the Duan Yue guest is also rare in the major sects. With one knife, even a small mountain can be split open, and it's worthy of being called mighty and unmatched."

  Facing the sudden outbreak of Ye Hai, Ye Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but his long sword had switched to his left hand, and his right hand's middle and index fingers were raised, wiping against the sword.

  "You're already quite impressive if you can force me to use this move."

  Whoosh!

  As Ye Xuan's fingers slid across the sword, a sharp starlight suddenly shot out, heavily smashing onto Ye Hai's knife light, immediately followed by a second, third...

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  It was as if a firework had gone off, and Ye Hai's figure could no longer be seen. No one knew what had happened.

  The next moment, 'smoke flower' was blown open, Ye Hai jumped out from it and laughed: "It's already the 108th move."

  Ye Xuan said coldly, "No matter what Duan Yue taught you, it's not enough to be my opponent." Just now she had displayed the low-level sword technique of Di Ji, Point Star Sword Intent, of course only the first half. The second half could only be practiced by core disciples who received special attention. She was able to catch attention because her talent was high enough, and in Fei Cui Valley, she was considered a top-notch genius. Otherwise, even as an inner sect disciple, it would be impossible for her to practice this technique.

  "Talk is cheap, take one move from me and sever the sun and moon!" Ye Hai roared loudly, his blood-colored long knife bursting out with an overwhelming momentum that obscured the sky and covered the sun.

  Ye Xuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, her fingers moving at twice the speed, countless starlights transformed into sharp blades shooting out, swift as lightning.

  Ye Hai's cultivation was after all inferior to Ye Xuan's, and the knife technique he practiced wasn't necessarily better than Ye Xuan's. After holding on for a moment, his knife momentum paused, his true energy somewhat scattered, and he was struck by a ray of starlight in the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he flew backward, defeated.

  Off the court, Ye Chen was somewhat surprised. Ye Xuan's strength was indeed immeasurable and still had some power left over. No wonder he looked so proud, after all, he had an ace up his sleeve.
