Chapter 113: Half-Step Sword Intent vs. Great Momentum

  On the stage, two people stood fifty steps apart.

  Perhaps sensing Ye Chen's unyielding attitude, Tie Feng did not adopt a passive strategy this time. He took the initiative for the first time, his right leg slightly raised, and a vast momentum instantly merged into his body. Suddenly, the air flow in the square became abnormal, and a violent gust of wind swept across.

  Across from him, Ye Chen wore a moon-white robe, the hem fluttering in the wild wind, like a small boat on a stormy sea. But when he drew out half of his Cloud Concealing Sword, the wild wind on the square seemed to be cut in two: on Iron Peak's side, the winds howled and clouds billowed, while Ye Chen's side was calm and waveless.

  Two people are insignificant compared to the vast martial arts arena, like floating dust. However, now the spacious martial arts arena seems unable to accommodate two people, as if it will collapse at any time.

  "Tiě Fēng shī xiōng is going to launch that one leg again, I wonder how Yè Chén shī xiōng will block it?"

  "Ye Chen Shixiong's sword energy is unstoppable, I'm afraid one sword can cut off Iron Peak Shixiong's attack."

  "I bet Brother Iron Peak will win, a thousand taels of gold, dare you bet or not?"

  "I'm not afraid of anything, I bet two thousand taels of gold with Ye Chendi, brother."

  "Add me too."

  "And I..."

  In the audience, some outer sect disciples turned their differing opinions into a massive gamble with real knives and guns. For them, it was a way to show off their insight and earn some silver, so why not? As for losing, they hadn't thought that far.

  Looking at the scene on stage, Pei Shaqing said calmly: "This leg is very powerful. When fighting against it, it's like fighting against the entire sky and earth, endless and boundless."

  "Is it that serious?" Cai Jian Qiuruo Tong and Pei Shaoqing's relationship seemed very close, exclaimed in surprise.

  "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have lost so thoroughly, without even a chance to resist. Only Mong Chong can break through this overwhelming momentum!"

  Qiu Ruo Tong thought Ye Chen should be fine too, but didn't say it out loud, anyway just watch and you'll know.

  "One leg moves and the wind and clouds change!"

  A thunderous roar erupted, Iron Peak's body slightly arched back, one leg kicked out, transforming the grand momentum of heaven and earth into his own use, heavily colliding with Ye Chen's half.

  Wow!

  Ye Chen's previously calm atmosphere was broken, and the fierce airflow came with an even more terrifying momentum, blowing many inner disciples off balance, their hearts filled with shock.

  "Cut!"

  Whoosh!

  In the void, a purely bright sword aura flashed by, and the momentum was like a deflated balloon, collapsing without a fight.

  "Tiě Fēng Shī Xiōng's momentum has been cut off, Yè Chén Shī Xiōng is indeed formidable." The inner disciples who supported Yè Chén lit up with excitement.

  "It seems that after all, the half-step sword intent is still one step ahead."

  "Yexun Shixiong is indeed a divine being, with one sword he can sever the fate of a person and change the course of events."

  On the noble seat, Qingyun Sword Guest Shen Lang said solemnly: "This child actually has the ability to cut off the void's great momentum. He is probably not far from understanding the true sword intent."

  Tie Feng's silly expression disappeared, and he stared at Ye Chen with an extremely serious look. He was the first person to give him endless pressure since he grasped the overall situation. The so-called overall situation in front of him was actually so vulnerable, it seemed that only a hard attack would work.

  "The winds and clouds change!"

  Tie Feng's entire body shot up, the momentum of heaven and earth all merged into his leg strength, one leg after another attacking Ye Chen, his movements light and agile, his legs heavy as a mountain.

  The air around him surged with energy, and the countless leg strikes landed, transforming into a scene of mountains crumbling and earth shattering. Ye Chen stood amidst it all, his expression as calm as an ancient well, but his hands didn't hesitate. The Cloud Concealing Sword sliced through the air in rapid succession, unleashing dozens of sword strikes in the blink of an eye. Each strike sent out a three-meter-long massive sword energy that was sharp and formless, seemingly intent on tearing apart the space before him.

  Hehe, hehe, hehe...

  Sword energy rose into the sky, swift and decisive kicks broke through with sharp aura, unstoppable.

  Tiě Fēng's face changed suddenly, the true energy in his body surged violently, and his leg strength increased. Wave after wave of powerful energy collided with the surface of the platform, causing it to crack and shatter, the stone pillars collapsed, and smoke and dust filled the air.

  Many people changed their support to Ye Chen along the way, because Ye Chen's one sword was too brilliant, easily breaking Iron Peak's momentum. At this time, seeing Iron Peak's mighty power, they couldn't help but worry about Ye Chen, whose sword energy was stronger, but ultimately limited in range, and how could he counter the endless momentum?

  "Explode!"

  At the critical moment, Ye Chen no longer held back, and Yun Yin Jian swung out in a seemingly slow but actually fast motion. At the moment when the sword tip reached its peak, Half-Step Sword Intent burst forth.

  Clang clang clang clang......

  In an instant, the swords at the waists of the disciples near the inner gate were drawn out of their scabbards and merged into Ye Chen's sword momentum, carrying a sharp aura that could cut off a mountain peak, charging towards Tie Feng in mid-air.

  Bam!

  Like the sound of a mountain peak cracking, Iron Peak's leg stance was broken, and he spat out fresh blood as he flew backward.

  "What a terrifying sword aura, it's taken all of our swords away."

  "In the future, if any swordsmen encounter Ye Chen Shixiong, they will likely suffer a loss. The sword intent infused with half-step sword meaning is too powerful, and the treasured sword cannot be controlled."

  "Recently, a talented young woman named Ji Xueyan emerged from the Emerald Valley. Our Liuyun Sect also has Ye Chen Shixiong, but unfortunately, no one has appeared who can be mentioned in the same breath as Master Feicui."

  Standing on the ruins of the platform, Ye Chen swung his Cloud Concealing Sword to the side, and dozens of treasured swords seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, shooting down with a whooshing sound, neatly inserted into the empty space in front of the inner disciples, forming a row.

  "This is mine."

  "Mine too."

  The inner disciples of Jianmen rushed up and pulled out their own swords one after another.

  Tie Feng landed on the ground, nodding his head in admiration: "That last sword move was brilliant, I didn't expect that Half-Step Sword Intent would be so powerful."

  Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Your leg technique is also very formidable. If you were a bit stronger, I wouldn't be able to handle you either."

  "Haha, the trend is too vague and elusive, I also accidentally realized it, there's no possibility of a breakthrough in one or two years, can only strive for progress in technique, but you have to be careful with Mong Chong, his knife momentum is too strong, half-step sword intent seems to be unable to withstand him."

  "That's right." Ye Chen nodded, in the face of absolute strength, fancy skills were useless. Currently, his half-step Sword Intention was somewhat flashy but not practical, not comparable to a true Sword Intention.

  Tie Feng lost one, and the only ones who maintained their undefeated record were Xue Ying's Mo Chen and Ye Chen. In everyone's eyes, the others no longer had a chance to contend for first place, and the champion could only emerge from these two people.

  After the ninth round, there are six games left in the tenth round.

  The next six games were extremely intense, and some hopeful inner door disciples who were not afraid of the top ten inner door disciples of the previous session, one after another, took out their ultimate moves, fighting hard to compete.

  Unfortunately, the gap in combat power is too large, and even if we fight desperately, it's useless.

  The tenth round is over.

  Meng Chong and Ye Chen are tied for first place with a perfect record, 20 points; Li Yunping is third with 19 points after losing one game; Tie Shanzi Yi Qing and Tie Feng each lost one game, 18 points, tied for fourth; Kuang Ren Xiao Ye lost one game and drew one game, 17 points, ranked sixth; followed by Tao Hua Shou Zhou Ruo, Pei Shaoqing, Gui Jian Li Kuang, Cai Jian Qiu Ruo Tong.

  The three who fell off the list were Feng Ping flying in the wind, Dong Haohua with two guns, and Song Fei with iron legs. Their scores did not exceed fifteen.
