Supreme Sword God-Chapter 517 - 516: First Trial of the Soldier Character Secret, Infinite Power!
As Zhang Fu’s words fell.
Instantly, someone rushed towards the passage into the sword pool.
The others, unwilling to fall behind, charged in at the first moment.
Ye Chen’s figure flickered, with sword light appearing beneath his feet, he dashed into the sword pool first at the fastest speed. Without any hesitation, a giant spiritual power hammer suddenly appeared and smashed backward fiercely.
"Boom!"
Just a fraction slower than Ye Chen, Qi Changfeng had just entered the sword pool when he was hit by Ye Chen’s spiritual power hammer.
Although Qi Changfeng hurriedly blocked most of the hammer’s force, he was still a bit dazed and confused!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Seven top-grade Spiritual Swords, howling out from Ye Chen’s storage ring, unleashed the Seven-Star Sword Array, instantly charging towards Qi Changfeng.
In a panic, Qi Changfeng drew his sword to defend, the clanging sounds ringing continuously as his form kept retreating!
In Ye Chen’s eyes, a brilliant light flashed, and the Celestial Mark Sword slashed out fiercely.
In the glorious sword light, a Cyan Dragon Illusion appeared, suddenly landing on Qi Changfeng.
Even though Qi Changfeng had already swung out a flash of sword light, he was completely stunned by Ye Chen’s sudden attack... that flash of sword light still couldn’t block Ye Chen’s offensive.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion sounded.
Qi Changfeng’s body, like a kite with a broken string, flew backward.
Inside the sword pool.
The Seven-Star Sword Array whooshed back into Ye Chen’s storage ring.
In a swift movement, the Celestial Mark Sword was sheathed.
He looked at Qi Changfeng, who had been slashed away, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Idiot!
Fool!
I know you want to deal with me, do you think I’d let you come in and cause trouble?
Qi Changfeng was furious beyond words.
"Ye Chen, we’re not done!" Qi Changfeng roared angrily, making a move as if to rush back into the sword pool.
Beside him.
The Second Pavilion Master of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, Zhang Fu, waved his hand, moving Qi Changfeng’s body to the side.
"You already entered the sword pool just now. I said, once you’re out, you can’t enter again!"
Qi Changfeng was dumbfounded.
His mission to retrieve the sword hadn’t even started, and it was already over?!
Zhang Fu said no more, for despite Qi Changfeng being the adopted son of Qi Shengjing, he didn’t warrant further explanation.
The necessary words had been spoken.
If Qi Changfeng remained unaware of benefits, there were other ways to handle it.
Zhang Fu looked at Ye Chen inside the sword pool with admiration in his eyes.
Good lad, that move was superb!
Perfectly using the rules set by the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, in a moment, with that explosive move, he directly resolved the biggest obstacle to retrieving the sword this time.
"That spiritual power hammer just now... was the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer!" Zhang Fu thought to himself, "Did he show it deliberately for me? Is he worried that using such a move, I might punish him too? So he used the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer as a gesture?"
Thinking.
Zhang Fu revealed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, an interesting lad!
"Haha, Brother Ye, you didn’t give any warning before taking action, that was close! I almost got knocked away by Qi Changfeng, but luckily I dodged quickly!"
Mu Baoming laughed and said.
He didn’t practice swordsmanship, had no interest in swords, and was purely there to join in the fun.
Originally thinking of helping Ye Chen deal with Qi Changfeng, now it was settled, Qi Changfeng could only stand outside, watching eagerly, unable to do anything.
Like Mu Baoming, Tang Jue, who ran in to join the fun, also flew to Ye Chen’s side and said, "Young Master Ye, great tactics!"
Qi Changfeng, the trump card the Qi Family had prepared to restrain Ye Chen, only said a few words outside, and what followed had nothing to do with him!
The people who entered the sword pool afterward, one by one, their eyes flashing.
All admired Ye Chen’s decisiveness.
Originally, they all thought Ye Chen would suffer heavily from Qi Changfeng’s targeting, yet Ye Chen immediately knocked Qi Changfeng out of the game.
Standing outside, watching the scene inside the sword pool, Qi Changfeng’s face was ashen.
He thought of teaching Ye Chen a lesson first to collect a bit of interest... as a result, he utterly humiliated himself!
Becoming the adopted son of the Qi Family, and for the first time representing the Qi Family in front of others, it resulted in this...
"Ye Chen... you can only use such despicable tricks to calculate against me, just wait, at the Qingyun Banquet, I’ll trample you underfoot, so you’ll never be able to lift your head again!"
Qi Changfeng roared in anger.
Ye Chen didn’t even spare the fellow a glance and turned around to look for the Jinghong Sword.
A fallen loser, what are you shouting for!
Would I fear you at the Qingyun Banquet?
Once I find the Jinghong Sword, merge it, elevate the Celestial Mark Sword, let my Lifebound Sword nourish me, break through to a higher level, I’d chop you dead!
As for using the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer just now, it indeed was deliberate for Zhang Fu to see.
Anyway, with my ties to the Mu Mansion, being skilled at a few Chaotic Cloak hammers is no issue.
Not hoping Zhang Fu would open the backdoor, but at least not messing with myself would be fine.
Qi Changfeng was still cursing.
Zhang Fu frowned and looked over.
The adopted son of the Qi Family is a disgrace!
The ability is there, but acts like a hooligan!
The Qi Family...
Zhang Fu silently shook his head, this once-prestigious family of Celestial Cyan City really is done for.
"Get out!"
Zhang Fu roared, a wave of powerful force wrapped around the cursing Qi Changfeng and threw him out.
Outside.
An old man from the Qi Family saw Zhang Fu thrown out with a bang and his face changed dramatically.
Likewise, waiting outside, Qi Mo from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion received a voice transmission from Zhang Fu.
Qi Mo was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh.
Ye Chen... what a move!
Then, Qi Mo roughly recounted the situation to everyone.
All looked at each other in amazement.
Mu Yi and Su Yun exchanged a glance.
Both of them clearly breathed a sigh of relief. Earlier, they had been worried that Ye Chen would be targeted by Qi Changfeng, but it turned out their worries were unfounded!
The elder from the Qi family also felt disgraced and promptly took Qi Changfeng away!
......
Inside the sword pool.
Everyone was busy with their own tasks.
There were simply too many swords here.
Moreover, the Sword Qi within the sword pool had been intermingling for years, making it impossible to simply determine the grade of any given sword.
Ye Chen was doing quite well. Though he couldn’t fully utilize the power of the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, he could still easily distinguish the levels of Spirit Sword, Spiritual Sword, and Dao Sword at a glance.
However, locating the Jinghong Sword was extremely difficult.
After all, all the swords here were sheathed and affected by the sword pool’s array, making the aura emitted from the sheath uniform for every sword.
Only by unsheathing the sword could one accurately sense the strength of the aura.
And for others, unsheathing a sword wasn’t an easy task!
Spiritual Artifacts already possessed considerable spirituality, so trying to unsheathe a sword without the Sword Spirit’s approval meant resistance from the Sword Spirit.
Aside from Ye Chen, everyone else who entered the sword pool had a Unity Realm cultivation level. Forcefully unsheathing a Spirit Sword or Spiritual Sword was feasible for them, but with so many swords here, they would soon tire after doing it repeatedly.
And even if they were lucky enough to find a Dao Sword, unsheathing it was still quite challenging... But they weren’t interested in ordinary Dao Swords, so even if they managed to unsheathe one that wasn’t particularly good, they had no choice but to sigh and put it back.
Half an hour passed.
A few individuals already obtained top-grade Dao Swords and began to subdue the Sword Spirits.
If they couldn’t subdue the Sword Spirit, the Celestial Soldier Pavilion wouldn’t allow them to take the sword out.
Thus, taking a good sword out of the sword pool at the Celestial Soldier Pavilion wasn’t an easy task.
Ye Chen had already unsheathed swords over a hundred times.
He unsheathed them effortlessly each time.
After unsheathing a sword, he would immediately sheath it back.
Others believed Ye Chen was extremely unlucky.
They thought Ye Chen couldn’t even encounter a single Dao Sword, given how easily he unsheathed swords each time.
Outside, the Second Pavilion Master of Celestial Soldier Pavilion, Zhang Fu, was utterly shocked.
Because...
Every sword Ye Chen had unsheathed was a Dao Sword!
Even an expert at the Dharma Realm entering the sword pool would be dumbfounded, yet Ye Chen managed to do this... It was definitely not luck; rather, Ye Chen could roughly judge the grade of swords within the sword pool!
The distribution of swords within the sword pool was a confidential matter of Celestial Soldier Pavilion, known only to the Grand Pavilion Master and Zhang Fu, the Second Pavilion Master!
The Grand Pavilion Master hadn’t left seclusion for many years, and Zhang Fu hadn’t mentioned these matters to anyone, so Ye Chen couldn’t possibly have known the secrets of the sword pool in advance!
Taking a step back...
Even if Ye Chen had known in advance... The fact that he could easily unsheathe Dao Swords a hundred times consecutively was already remarkable!
"This kid has unsheathed so many Dao Swords, could it be... he possesses the ability to make all Dao Sword Spirits submit immediately?"
"If he truly has such a Sword Mastery technique, then the Jinghong Sword... may indeed be meant for him..."
"It’s too soon to make conclusions. The Jinghong Sword has no Sword Spirit, only an extreme aura. He may control Sword Spirits, but might not withstand the aura of the Jinghong Sword."
Zhang Fu’s thoughts kept racing!
At this moment, Ye Chen also felt rather gloomy!
Having searched for so long without success, his luck seemed really poor. Given the situation, he had to make a big move!
Initially, he refrained from using powerful moves to avoid causing too much commotion, but now, with half the time already elapsed, he couldn’t afford any further delays!
With a thought.
Ye Chen’s power began vibrating at a uniquely special frequency.
His mouth emitted a remarkably tiny sound.
"Bing!"
The power of the Soldier Character Secret instantly spread out from Ye Chen’s body, radiating in all directions.
"Clang clang!"
Swords throughout the entire sword pool began vibrating fiercely!
Intense auras pierced through the sheaths.
The aura within the sword pool suddenly became incredibly terrifying!
Every individual inside had expressions of fear and trepidation.
Even Zhang Fu outside was momentarily dumbfounded.
The changes occurring in the sword pool exceeded Zhang Fu’s understanding!
However, this change appeared very suddenly and concluded just as quickly; within a blink, everything was back to normal!
Everyone was filled with confusion!
What just happened?
Zhang Fu’s gaze, tinged with suspicion, fell upon Ye Chen.
"This kid seems frightened too... It seems it’s not him..." Zhang Fu noticed Ye Chen also appeared to be in shock, causing him to put aside his suspicions.
"Such strength!" Although Ye Chen appeared scared, the excitement within him was beyond words.
Just comprehending a small portion of the Soldier Character Secret had such a massive impact; fully comprehending it would allow him to command thousands of swords at once...
Just imagining it was exhilarating!
While excited, Ye Chen also recognized the greater risks...
The people from the Original Celestial Eight Great Families have been practicing this Secret Technique since childhood; if they find him, wouldn’t it spell disaster?
Suppressing these thoughts, Ye Chen continued searching for swords.
He already knew where the Jinghong Sword was.
But going directly to unsheathe it would be too conspicuous, openly revealing that he was behind the commotion earlier.
After roughly two more increments of time.
Ye Chen walked towards a sword.
The sword’s hilt was ordinary, and its sheath was quite plain too.
But merely standing beside it, Ye Chen already sensed the distinctive difference of this sword.
The aura within the sheath... was vast and majestic like the ocean!
This sword was the Jinghong he sought!
Ye Chen took a deep breath and slowly reached for the hilt.
Outside the sword pool.
Zhang Fu, the Second Pavilion Master of Celestial Soldier Pavilion, held his breath at this moment, staring fixedly at Ye Chen.
The Jinghong Sword... had been found!
Could Ye Chen... truly master this sword?
Zhang Fu’s heart was filled with anticipation!
