Ye Chen had activated his sword intent, so he wasn't affected by the pressure released from the Multiple Mountain Martial School's power. He responded calmly, "I don't know him!"
"Nonsense! Our Multiple Mountain Martial School's top-ranked disciple, Hong Qianjun is a young Hidden Dragon Ranked martial artist, how could you not know him? Did you sneakily attack him and kill him? "
"Head Elder, no need to say more, let's take him back to the Multiple Mountain Martial School."
"Indeed, I don't believe that he can still talk like this under the torture."
"Cripple this kid first."
The Multiple Mountain Martial School's elders were all filled with killing intent. Even if Ye Chen wasn't the murderer, they still wouldn't let him go.
"Since when did you Multiple Mountain Martial School have the right to bully our Sky Cloud Martial School's disciples?" A strong sense of power rose from the air, along with which, the Sky Cloud Martial School's Head Elder slowly walked out. Although his pair of wrinkled eyes were slightly blurry, they were still as sharp as steel needles.
Hearing the Head Elder, an inner elder of the Multiple Mountain Martial School said scornfully, "What is your Sky Cloud Martial School's status? What is our Multiple Mountain Martial School's status? Now, your Sky Cloud Martial School's disciple is suspected of killing our top-ranked disciple, so we have to take him back. No one can stop us. I advise you, you'd better cooperate with us, don't bring trouble to our Sky Cloud Martial School, or you'll regret it."
The Sky Cloud Martial School's Fourth Elder and the Head Elder stood side by side, with their eyes popped out in anger. "What a joke! If you take Ye Chen away today, our Sky Cloud Martial School's reputation would be ruined! Don't even think about it! Whoever dares to touch him, we'll kill him!"
The Multiple Mountain Martial School's Head Elder snorted coldly while releasing a great sense of power, which even caused the desert surface to sink. "You? Kill you as easy as killing a dog! Kid, come over!"
Swoosh!
After saying that, he waved his hand and released a terrifying suction force. The sand around Ye Chen was sucked into the suction force, while Ye Chen felt weightless and couldn't control his own body anymore.
"Cut!"
A fiery red sword condensed on the iron spear and hacked at the air in front of Ye Chen along with an unstoppable sword intent, cutting off the suction force.
Eh?
The Multiple Mountain Martial School's Head Elder knitted his eyebrows, pulled his right hand back and released the suction force again. This time, the suction force was twice as strong as before, and even the ten-meter-deep sand was rolled up.
"You're going too far! Freeze!"
The Head Elder of the Sky Cloud Martial School was furious. He took a step forward and released his Zhen Qi, locking onto the space where Ye Chen was. No matter how strong the suction force was, it was impossible for him to move.
"You're courting death!"
A khaki-colored, gigantic palm made of Zhen Qi suddenly darted out, smashing towards the Sky Cloud Martial School's Head Elder. Wherever it passed by, the sand surface would be blasted out layer by layer, and huge, tens of meters thick and tens of meters tall sand pillars would rise into the air. The Multiple Mountain Martial School's Head Elder was the first one to launch the attack. He had cast the same mountain-shattering stamp as Hong Qianjun had cast.
However, in his hands, this Mountain-collapsing Seal was many times more powerful than Hong Qianjun's. With a single palm strike, it was powerful enough to shatter mountains and crack the earth.
"Purple Light Cave Heaven!"
The Great Elder's clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. He slightly lowered his center of gravity and pointed out a finger that seemed slow but was actually fast. Puchi! The purple ray of light condensed and pierced through the huge palm made of khaki-colored Zhen Qi, making a sizzling sound.
"Look! The Multiple Mountain Martial School and the Sky Cloud Martial School are fighting!"
"The Multiple Mountain Martial School is so arrogant! They haven't even proved that it was the Sky Cloud Martial School's disciple who killed Hong Qianjun, yet they want to take him back! Clearly, they don't take the Sky Cloud Martial School seriously!"
"Exactly! They've already taken him back! Even if he doesn't die, he'll still have to be tortured to make a confession!"
"The Multiple Mountain Martial School is a rank 7 martial institution from the White Mystery Nation, a mid-tier country. They are very powerful, and have always been arrogant. The Sky Cloud Martial School can only blame their bad luck for offending them."
"Hehe, I think the Sky Cloud Martial School is going to fail this time. A peerless genius emerged from a rank 9 martial institution, it's inevitable that people will be jealous of him. The Multiple Mountain Martial School might have the same thought."
"Hm, to be honest, even I am jealous of him. That move he launched just now, which cut off the suction force, clearly contained the sword intent. That's why he was able to pass all the tests of the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace and compete for the three treasures."
The other elders were either angry or scared, but most of them were jealous. Why didn't their martial institutions have a peerless genius who had comprehended the sword intent?
"Move!"
"Kill!"
"How dare you go against our Multiple Mountain Martial School!"
This time, the Multiple Mountain Martial School had sent eleven inner elders and tens of outer elders, all of whom were above the mid Clasping Yuan Realm. Seeing the Head Elder and the Sky Cloud Martial School's Head Elder, they couldn't hold back their killing intent and rushed out.
"Everyone from the Sky Cloud Martial School, kill!"
The Fourth Elder roared out while a raging flame rose from his body, scorching the sand and turning it into black crystals.
"Fourth Elder, take this spear!"
Ye Chen's blood was boiling inside his body, but his mind was still clear. No matter in terms of overall power or individual power, the Multiple Mountain Martial School's Head Elder was more powerful than him. Fortunately, although the Sky Cloud Martial School was a rank 9 martial institution, it was as powerful as a rank 8 martial institution. Compared to the Multiple Mountain Martial School, which was a rank 7 martial institution, the Sky Cloud Martial School wouldn't be a pushover. Ye Chen knew that the Fourth Elder was a cultivator of fire Zhen Qi, and the low-ranked spear was perfect for him. Without thinking, he threw the spear towards the Fourth Elder.
"Low-ranked spear?" The Fourth Elder caught the spear with one hand and immediately sensed the great fire power contained in the spear. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. There were many treasures in this world, but unfortunately, there were even more martial artists. Not every Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist had a good treasure, and the Fourth Elder was one of them. Now that he had a low-ranked spear in his hand, he wouldn't even be afraid of peak-level late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists.
Boom!
The spear swung horizontally, releasing a scorching red flame that transformed into a sky-devouring wave of fire. It immediately pushed back the two Multiple Mountain Martial School's inner elders, who had been rushing towards him.
"Seventh Elder, Ninth Elder, the short blade and the dagger are for you." The Seventh Elder and the Ninth Elder were experts in using blades and assassinations respectively. The low-ranked short blade and dagger given by Leng Wuqing were perfect for them. Therefore, Ye Chen gave them to the two elders one by one.
"Three low-ranked treasures?!"
"You have to know that only a few of us elders have treasures. Only a few of us have found treasures that are suitable for us from the treasuries of our institutions. Those that are not suitable for us won't improve our powers at all. For example, if you ask a sword user to use a blade, even if it's a low-ranked great blade, it won't be as good as an ordinary great sword."
"Hm, it's very hard to find a suitable treasure. Many people use them for their whole lives."
All the onlookers popped up their eyes and gasped in shock.
Last time in the Northwest Auction House, the reason why Lynch was able to buy the low-ranked great blade, the 'Air Splitting Blade', was that the elder who used blades didn't want to compete with them. After all, Lynch would definitely become the backbone of the North Snow Martial Academy in the future. Therefore, the elder of the North Snow Martial Academy had to show some respect to him. Although the other elders didn't have to show respect to Lynch, if they went to the auction house, the elder of the North Snow Martial Academy would definitely go as well. If they bought the 'Air Splitting Blade', they would still give it to Lynch as a reward. Therefore, unless it was a big auction where all the treasures were gathered, the elders would rarely show up. Only in small auctions would the disciples from all the top institutions compete with each other.
"Good blade!"
"Good dagger!"
The eyes of the Seventh Elder and the Ninth Elder shone, and they both showed a faint smile.
In fact, Ye Chen still had a low-ranked great blade, but it was in his storage ring, which was still in the Head Elder's storage ring. Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't disturb the Head Elder. In a battle between powerful martial artists, a slight carelessness could result in the defeat of the Head Elder. Without a doubt, it would be a huge blow to the Head Elder, who was the backbone of the group, in order to take out a low-ranked great blade. Ye Chen knew what he should do.
The battle between the two institutions started. Nearly a hundred Mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists and above had been fighting against each other. It was a spectacular scene. However, only one-third of them had low-ranked great weapons, while the others were either bare-handed or only had ordinary weapons. What they were fighting against was their mastery of martial arts.
"Little brat, die!"
All of a sudden —
An elder of the Multiple Mountain Martial School leapt towards Ye Chen and threw a kick towards him.
Boom! The ground collapsed, layer after layer of cracks appeared on the ground. Without a sword, Ye Chen madly activated the Crane Shadow Steps and stepped back. He didn't dare to take the attack head-on.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
This elder was the Multiple Mountain Martial School's outer Head Elder. He was a peak-level mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, only one step away from becoming an inner Head Elder. Under his full power, Ye Chen, who didn't have a sword in his hand, was no match for him at all.
"Brother Ye, take this!"
Zhu Mei saw that Ye Chen was in a bad situation, so she hurriedly threw her low-ranked great sword, the Hidden Fragrance Sword, to Ye Chen. As for Xu Jing, who had always been aggressive, she didn't join the fight. Instead, she stood in front of Zhu Mei and Luo Hanshan, in case any sneak attacks from the Multiple Mountain Martial School's elders might launch.
Ye Chen seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, he didn't even need to look at Zhu Mei and Luo Hanshan. He gripped the hilt of the Hidden Fragrance Sword.
"Nice sword!"
In fact, the effect of a great weapon was limited, it could at most increase the attacking power by ten percent, but it wouldn't be able to change the overall situation. However, the most important thing about a great weapon was its toughness, which made it very hard to break. The higher a martial artist's cultivation was, the more powerful his Zhen Qi would be. Ordinary weapons could no longer withstand the circulation of Zhen Qi, and would be broken after a few times of use. Once a martial artist reached the Astral Reaching Realm, his Zhen Qi would transform into Zhen Yuan, and any ordinary weapon would shatter upon contact with it. Only low-ranked great weapons could barely allow Astral Reaching Realm martial artists to fully activate their Zhen Yuan, and mid-ranked great weapons would be the best.
"So what if you have a low-ranked great sword? You will still die."
The Multiple Mountain Martial School's outer Head Elder grinned. While in the air, he launched eighteen kicks in a row. Each kick was as heavy as a small mountain, smashing down towards Ye Chen.
"Swirling Wind!"
The Hidden Fragrance Sword was slim and long, it wasn't suitable for Ye Chen, but it was still much better than the low-ranked great spear and the Hidden Cloud Sword. He gripped the sword with his right hand and swung it, leaving a beautiful arc in the air.
Swoosh … swoosh … swoosh …
The sharp and long sword Qi swooshed straight up, stirred up the airflow in the desert, and finally formed a huge tornado. The tornado sucked the sand into it, then transformed into an even more terrifying tornado, rumbling towards the eighteen mountain-like silhouettes of Ye Chen's legs.
Boom!
Yellow sand poured down from the sky, the tornado was shattered, and the eighteen silhouettes of Ye Chen's legs also disappeared.
"Lose!"
With the Hidden Fragrance Sword in his hand, the sharp qi on his body was unstoppable. It was like a peerless great sword that had been sharpened, tearing apart the atmosphere. His Tornado Broken Clouds had been shattered, but he did not care at all. Tapping his foot on the ground, he floated in the air like a cloud. Then, the Hidden Fragrance Sword slashed down without any trace of attack.
"It's that move!"
Yuanheng Ying and Zhuang Fei were both frightened. They were both defeated by this move, they didn't even have the chance to fight back.
