Dragon Blood Saint Emperor
Chapter 211 - 212: A Ruthless Character
Ye Wushuang’s combat power not only made the crowd’s hearts tremble, but it also left Liuu Yifei utterly stunned.
The gap between them wasn’t small; it was a full four minor realms. An ordinary person would have been annihilated by a single strike of his Overlord Sword Slash. But Ye Wushuang had withstood it.
’Just what kind of abilities does this monster possess?’
’Once he’s dead, I’ll have to investigate him properly!’
Liuu Yifei swung his Ancient Sword, his movements fluid and graceful, and lethal Sword Qi spread out in all directions.
The Overlord Sword Slash was the main Combat Skill of Liuu Yifei’s Sword Dao. It perfectly matched his style, creating a complementary, continuous, and devastatingly sharp attack. Its Slaughter Sword Qi carried the Power of Destruction.
Ye Wushuang wielded the Dragon Blood Battle Saber, his slashes a chaotic mess of crisscrossing strikes.
"Hahaha, Ye Wushuang’s attacks are too weak! He’s been completely suppressed by Senior Brother Liuu."
Seeing the two clashing in the sky, the Celestial Sword Sect disciples burst into laughter. How could they fail to see who had the upper hand?
It wasn’t just them; the crowd of Loose Cultivators saw it too. Ye Wushuang’s attacks were a chaotic mess, as if he didn’t know any techniques at all and was just hacking about randomly. They figured it wouldn’t be long before he ran out of steam.
"What kind of Saber Technique is that?"
Just as everyone came to this conclusion, Xiang Tianxiao’s eyes lit up.
The gray-robed youth beside him asked in confusion, "Brother Xiang, what is it? Is something wrong?"
"His Saber Technique may look chaotic, but there’s a pattern to it. Every single one of his strikes is aimed directly at Liuu Yifei’s vital points. What a strange Saber Technique. This is definitely a Killing Saber Technique," Xiang Tianxiao explained.
’A Killing Saber Technique?’
Upon hearing Xiang Tianxiao’s explanation, the crowd focused their gazes once more. They discovered that, indeed, Ye Wushuang’s "Chaotic Cutting" was repeatedly interrupting Liuu Yifei’s Sword Techniques.
Upon noticing this detail, the smiles on the faces of the Celestial Sword Sect disciples vanished. Their mouths twitched as they continued to stare intently at the fight.
The eyes of the Loose Cultivators lit up as well, and they wondered, ’Could this be one of Ye Wushuang’s powerful killing moves?’
If Ye Wushuang knew what everyone was thinking, he probably would have laughed.
He had previously comprehended the Invincible Saber Intent, but without a suitable Saber Technique to complement it, he couldn’t unleash its full power.
While fighting Liuu Yifei, he had a spur-of-the-moment idea to integrate his Invincible Saber Intent with the Eight Kills of Battle, a skill he had never used before.
He used the killing moves of the Eight Kills of Battle as a supplement and the Invincible Saber Intent as the core, fusing the two to make do for the time being.
He never expected this simple idea to have such astonishing power!
In a way, he had Liuu Yifei to thank for this!
So, to properly "repay" Liuu Yifei, Ye Wushuang put his full strength into every single slash.
Wielding the Dragon Blood Battle Saber, Ye Wushuang grew bolder with every exchange, unleashing his Invincible Saber Qi as he slashed forward.
Liuu Yifei blocked with his Ancient Sword. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! The collisions were incessant. Saber Intent and Sword Qi constantly clashed and exploded, and a terrifying energy poured down like a river from the Nine Heavens. The mountains on both sides of the gorge began to collapse, huge boulders sheared off by the Sword Qi and flashes of the saber, making it seem as though the heavens themselves were falling.
The crowd grew even more stunned. They couldn’t imagine how a body at the mere True Essence Fourth Layer could contain such terrifying Power of Destruction.
CLANG!
CLANG!
Ye Wushuang unleashed his full power. His strikes were heavy and powerful, and as the Dragon Blood Battle Saber clashed with the Ancient Sword, notches began to appear on its blade.
’The Dragon Blood Battle Saber’s quality is dropping again. It looks like I’ll need to upgrade its grade.’
Ye Wushuang sensed this as well. He sighed inwardly and surged forward to clash with Liuu Yifei again.
Little did he know, it wasn’t that the Dragon Blood Battle Saber’s quality was dropping, but that his own power was simply too ferocious.
The Dragon Blood Battle Saber was already a Half-Step Spirit-Connected Treasure, and it had been specially forged by the Craftsman Emperor, making it incredibly durable. However, Ye Wushuang’s attacks were simply too overbearing, and he was hacking the blade blunt.
If one were to look closely, they would see that the Ancient Sword in Liuu Yifei’s hand was ringing, on the verge of being shattered from the blows.
Moreover, Liuu Yifei’s own hand was trembling violently; he was on the verge of losing his grip on the Ancient Sword.
’How can this monster be so powerful? If we keep fighting up close, I’ll be the one to lose out.’ Liuu Yifei’s expression turned grim. He couldn’t let this drag on. Ye Wushuang had to die.
BOOM!
After a violent clash, Liuu Yifei used the momentum, pushing off his toes to explosively retreat several dozen feet.
At the same time, he stepped twice on the empty air, ascending even higher.
"Overlord Sword Slash—Sword Dominator of All Directions!"
He held the Ancient Sword aloft. Sword Intent and True Essence flooded into the blade as Sword Qi and Sword Intent crisscrossed outwards. Sword Light radiated from Liuu Yifei’s position.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG...
With eight consecutive tremors, eight Heaven-Reaching Sword Shadows erupted from the Sword Body. As if sentient, they shot toward Ye Wushuang from all directions, intent on killing him.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The very air seemed to shatter from being pierced, and the mountains on both sides of the gorge crumbled even more violently.
Horror filled Xiang Tianxiao’s eyes. The attack was terrifying. As a cultivator at the True Essence Eighth Layer himself, he knew exactly how frightening such destructive power was.
Of course, for some unknown reason, a trace of anticipation also bloomed in Xiang Tianxiao’s heart. ’What trick will Ye Wushuang use to get out of this crisis?’
Gazing at the eight sealed-off directions, Ye Wushuang knew that Liuu Yifei was determined to kill him. Even using Shadow Kill wouldn’t be enough to escape this.
Ye Wushuang’s gaze, fixed on Liuu Yifei, was as cold as ice.
Faced with "Sword Dominator of All Directions," Ye Wushuang could only block the attack from one direction.
The moment he broke through in one direction, the Heaven-Reaching Sword Shadows from the other seven would surely land on him. The consequences would be unimaginable.
But in this situation, he had no choice but to charge.
KILL!
Steeling his heart, Ye Wushuang let out a fierce roar and charged toward Liuu Yifei, his Dragon Blood Battle Saber swinging horizontally to slash at the Heaven-Reaching Sword Shadow before him.
Just as he expected, the seven Heaven-Reaching Sword Shadows from behind all shot toward him, aiming for the kill.
What made the onlookers’ eyes twitch was that Ye Wushuang didn’t stop. He let the shadows bear down on him as his blood-red saber light shattered the sword shadow in front, tearing open an escape route.
Instantly, Ye Wushuang became a streak of light, rushing toward Liuu Yifei and bringing his saber down in a desperate, life-or-death slash.
Seeing the reckless Ye Wushuang, Liuu Yifei’s eyelid twitched. He shouted coldly, "Ye Wushuang, take one more step, and you will surely die!"
"Whether I die or not, you won’t be around to see it!"
The power of eighty-one Qi Vortexes infused the Dragon Blood Battle Saber. With another slash, a blood-red canopy of light descended upon Liuu Yifei.
At the same time, he activated his Treasure Body to its absolute limit. This was his only way of dealing with the seven Heaven-Reaching Sword Shadows behind him. If he didn’t have his Treasure Body, he would never have been so reckless.
As the Treasure Body activated, brilliant golden light pierced through his clothes and burst forth, making him shine like a golden sun, dazzling all who saw him!
BANG!
BANG!
The sword shadows struck Ye Wushuang’s Treasure Body one after another. Its brilliant light flared, constantly resisting the impacts.
But these Sword Dao attacks were too terrifying; the Treasure Body almost failed to block them. Instantly, Ye Wushuang’s body trembled, and he coughed up streams of blood.
The onlookers below felt their hearts seize. Their mouths hung open, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. Who else could take a terrifying attack from a True Essence Eighth Layer head-on with just their body?
A madman. An absolute madman!
At the same time, Ye Wushuang’s saber had drawn near Liuu Yifei’s body. An overwhelming, bone-chilling killing intent washed over Liuu Yifei, making him feel as if he’d been plunged into an ice cellar—a cold that chilled him to the soul.
’How did this monster dare to take that head-on?’
Liuu Yifei was horrified and completely lost his composure. He never imagined Ye Wushuang would be so vicious. Before he could even make a move, the blood-red canopy was already bearing down on him, forcing him to swing his sword to defend himself.
CRACK!
But the moment the Ancient Sword touched the blood-red canopy, it instantly shattered.
BANG!
Liuu Yifei was sent flying like a cannonball, his body scraping against the gorge wall and shattering the rock on impact.
He didn’t stop until he was several miles away. His body was nearly cleaved in two, and he was a wretched sight, dripping blood continuously.
"Ye Wushuang, next time I’ll be sure to kill you!"
Liuu Yifei coughed up a mouthful of blood. He dragged his broken body to its feet and, in a state of terror, stumbled into the Land of Yin Spirit.
On the other side, Xiang Tianxiao waved a hand. Several streaks of light shot out and collided with the remaining Heaven-Reaching Sword Shadows, causing them to dissolve into nothing.
Ye Wushuang had been struck by three of the sword shadows, but his Treasure Body was so formidable that he hadn’t sustained any serious injuries.
"There won’t be a next time!"
Without pausing, Ye Wushuang shot through the air and into the Land of Yin Spirit, chasing after Liuu Yifei. If he didn’t kill Liuu Yifei now, all the injuries he’d just taken would have been for nothing.
