When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 481 - 363: Sword and Leaf

Ye Changfeng and the Kylin were locked in an intense battle.

The giant Kylin’s swatting tail whipped through the air, each blow causing the earth to tremble and space itself to seem twisted. However, Ye Changfeng’s swordsmanship was also incredibly powerful. He floated through the air like a celestial Sword Immortal, with each and every sword strike full of immense might.

"Roar!"

The great Kylin, realizing its tail was on par with Ye Changfeng’s sword and gaining no advantage, immediately withdrew its tail. Following that, it let out another roaring howl, creating a vortex in the air that centered on it and whipped up a whirlwind.

Within this great vortex, countless green shadows flickered in and out of sight. When Ye Changfeng’s towering sword light struck, those green shadows revealed themselves as leaves. These leaves were small, but each one shimmered with an exceedingly concentrated life force, enveloping Ye Changfeng’s sword light.

The sword light was sharp and powerful, and those green leaves seemed inconsequential in front of its cutting edge, as if they could be shredded in an instant. Yet, with each strike, each leaf moved as if it had a mind of its own, cleverly drifting through the air, always evading the sword’s edge just right.

Vibrant life force radiated from each leaf, softening the hard like yielding overcomes strength, diminishing the sword’s momentum. A single leaf took away a thread of Sword Qi, and as millions of leaves fluttered continuously, they carried away millions of threads of Sword Qi, astonishingly neutralizing Ye Changfeng’s fierce attack!

"Amazing! Impressive!"

Xiang Beifei exclaimed like a bystander taking in the spectacle!

It turned out this Kylin wasn’t only skilled in tail attacks, but also possessed such a clever ability. It was indeed a rare way to neutralize an attack.

"Roar, roar!"

The Kylin roared proudly at Ye Changfeng, showing no concern for his swordsmanship.

Ye Changfeng had noticed this but didn’t panic. He shifted his swordplay again, the originally forceful and dominant strikes unexpectedly changing their approach.

He slashed out with his sword once more, but this time the blade was soft, the Sword Qi in the air seemingly so fragile it could break at a touch, so weak it gave the illusion that even a Qi-Controlling period fighter could resist it!

However, when this soft sword strike met the similarly soft leaves, those leaves seemed unable to escape the grasp of the Sword Qi. Instead, they became entangled with it, as if melting into one.

The two became indistinguishable, with the leaves even treating the Sword Qi as one of their own. But soon, the Kylin sensed something amiss, as at that moment, the soft Sword Qi had unobtrusively penetrated the leaves!

Buzz!

Bursts of Sword Qi surged out from all the leaves, slicing each thin leaf along the veins into two!

Whoosh!

The Sword Qi within the leaves coalesced, striking the Kylin. Caught off guard, the Kylin was flipped over by Ye Changfeng’s Sword Qi!

"666!"

While others fought, he narrated - full of praise!

Xiang Beifei laid idle like a salted fish, constantly marvelling at the side!

Ye Changfeng’s sword was not only robust but also embodied fluid ingenuity.

The Kylin utilized leaves, using softness to overcome hardness. In response, Ye Changfeng immediately altered his sword intent, using softness to overcome softness!

This is what made Heavenly Sword Nine Traces so formidable; its swordplay did not solely rely on overwhelming force but in its agility and versatility, bending and stretching with ease!

Ye Changfeng’s strength was inseparable from his Heavenly Sword Nine Traces, the sword technique almost reaching perfection.

Nevertheless, the Kylin quickly stabilized itself. The strike that hit its body had only sent it flying, causing no real pain or damage. It squinted its eyes, realizing its complacency, and began to take the formidable swordsman before it seriously.

It was not one to admit defeat so easily; having strenuously broken free from the Spirit Gathering Book’s seal, how could it possibly lose to a human whose origin it knew not?

Hum!

A blazing light shone from its horn, bathing the leaves in radiant light, each leaf once again brimming with vigorous life. At that moment, Ye Changfeng launched another sword strike, unpredictable and ferocious, yet seemingly frail and powerless, utterly inscrutable.

Ye Changfeng’s swordsmanship had reached an enigmatic realm; his Sword Qi moved with his will, a mere thought could manifest a thousand forms of Sword Qi!

When his sword came slashing down, the Sword Qi would become immensely hot at times and bitterly cold at others. His sword was crafted specifically for countering an opponent’s attacks. As soon as the opponent changed their attack method, he would immediately redirect his Sword Qi to another orientation.

However, in the eyes of the Kylin, large as copper bells, there appeared a faint glimmer. The Sword Qi and leaves tangled once more, with the leaves seeming to twist rapidly, suddenly radiating a fierce killing intent!

This sudden surge of killing intent even transformed into sword gleams in mid-air, and upon closer inspection, each sword gleam was identical to Ye Changfeng’s sword movements!

It was actually mimicking Ye Changfeng’s sword techniques with leaves!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ye Changfeng’s Sword Qi collided with the Kylin’s leaves yet again. When Ye Changfeng’s Sword Qi turned sharp, the leaves became sharp as well. When Ye Changfeng’s Sword Qi attempted to change its momentum to attack in a weaker fashion, the leaves instantly became even more feeble!

They always matched Ye Changfeng’s Sword Qi, never allowing themselves to be suppressed by him!

This transformation finally caused Ye Changfeng to frown, since during the entanglement of their Sword Qis, neither could gain the upper hand over the other.

Ye Changfeng immediately retracted his sword and pointed it straight at the heavens. Invoking Heavenly Sword Nine Traces, his Sword Qi stirred among the clouds, thunderous roars echoing through the sky!

Heavenly Sword Nine Traces’ sixth move, Mysterious Azure Falling Thunder!

Boom!

Blue lightning, mixed with majestic heavenly might, fell from the sky, guided by the sword light. The pure and explosive blue lightning, righteous and upright, seemed capable of destroying all evil between heaven and earth!

This powerful lightning was something many desolate beasts greatly feared, and it was also the divine power most capable of restraining those trees!

As the lightning fell, even the Kylin did not take it lightly. It roared towards the lightning in the sky, its leaves gathering around it to meet the attack!

And at that moment, the lightning merged with the fierce sword gleams, striking those leaves!

But suddenly the leaves underwent a change!

In the crisscrossing veins of a leaf, it was as if a tree had appeared within it! And on this tree sprouted numerous tinier leaves, yet the small leaves were covered with even tinier trees, identical in appearance to the larger tree!

When the lightning struck the leaves, it was immediately absorbed by the large tree that had grown from them, but it wasn’t directly destroyed; instead, it was absorbed again by the leaves within the large tree—lightning striking the leaves within the leaves, and then the leaves within those leaves...

Through layer upon layer, all the lightning was devoured in an instant!

"What kind of ability is this?"

Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but marvel at this move by the Kylin; a single leaf conjuring a whole tree?

From one leaf comes a Bodhi tree? And within that a leaf of the Bodhi is again a Bodhi tree?

But that leaf was clearly not from a Bodhi tree. Not even Xiang Beifei could tell what kind of tree it actually was; he didn’t know what kind of leaves these were.

However, before long, a gleam of light shone in Xiang Beifei’s eyes, for he discovered a very peculiar phenomenon—if one observed closely, the Kylin’s leaves could only split into three layers: a leaf, the tree within the leaf, and the leaves of the tree within the leaf.

It was like three nested worlds!

The Kylin was using these three tree worlds to dissipate the power of the lightning!

And what was destroyed by the lightning was merely the leaves of the third-tiered tree world; the second and the first layer were unscathed!

"This ability has something to it."

Xiang Beifei grew increasingly curious about the Kylin, pondering over this devouring method and extrapolating the process by using Learn by Analogy.

The more he deduced, the more he realized the power of this ability!

(I just noticed that QiDian is having a burst release event, and I’m pondering whether I should set a flag for a burst release. I wonder if I could reach 1000 monthly tickets—it seems so difficult, as I, a salted fish, have never exceeded 1000 monthly tickets any month... Should I participate or not?)
