On the vast battling platform, two human figures were standing hundreds of meters away from each other.
On the left side of the battling platform, Li Daoxuan was wearing a blue robe, with a long and narrow great sword hanging from his waist. The sword scabbard was simple and ancient, with a few patterns on it. On the right side, Ye Chen was standing straight, wearing a blue robe as well. He also had a great sword hanging from his waist. The scabbard was carved with star patterns, its color clear and deep.
"Since you have the sixty percent sword intent, then I do not have to worry about the unfair advantage."
The level of the sword intent had nothing to do with the unfair advantage. If it were a normal sword artist, Li Daoxuan would never tell him that if he did not have the sword intent, then he would not use the sword intent either. It would be very stupid. However, Ye Chen was different. Ye Chen's sword art realm was extremely high, and almost no one could compete with him in the young generation. Li Daoxuan did not want to win the competition with his sword intent that was ten percent higher than his opponent's, because he wanted to compete with Ye Chen's sword art realm.
Right now, Ye Chen had also mastered the sixty percent sword intent. Therefore, the two were basically on the same level, and the competition would be the sword art realm.
Ye Chen said, "That would be for the best. I also want to know how powerful my sword art realm is." Up until now, Ye Chen had not revealed all of his achievements in his sword art yet. It was either because his opponents were too weak and could not use it, or his opponents were different, like Tuo Baku. Therefore, if he did not find an equally powerful opponent, even Ye Chen himself would not be able to figure out his own sword art realm.
Putting his right hand on the sword hilt, Li Daoxuan stopped talking. His sharp eyes locked onto Ye Chen. Compared to the aggressive Yan Chihuo, Ye Chen had given him more pressure. It was not that Yan Chihuo was not as powerful as Ye Chen. In fact, even he could not see through Yan Chihuo's power. However, Yan Chihuo was a blade artist, which was different from a sword artist after all. However, Ye Chen was a sword artist, a sword artist who had mastered the sixty percent sword intent. This year's Hidden Dragon Rank competitions only needed one No.1 sword artist.
"Kill!"
Flashing his body, Li Daoxuan had shortened the distance between him and Ye Chen to only ten meters. His sword had been taken out of its scabbard. A cold beam of light with a shocking sword intent was thrown out. The air was like water, without any ripples. There was only one person and one sword left in the world.
Yan Chihuo, who was watching the battle, squeezed his eyes. 'This Ye Chen is indeed powerful. Facing him, Li Daoxuan's sword art realm had improved even further. His spirit, Qi, and soul were condensed, showing signs of merging into one.'
Ye Chen's expression did not change. His right hand grabbed onto the hilt of his Star Scar Sword, which looked slow but was actually fast. He gently pulled it out. The dark colored sword light was like a poisonous snake coming out of its cave, accurately pointing at the tip of Li Daoxuan's sword. The emotionless poetic perspective seemed to have no effect on him at all.
Chin!
The sword tips, which were filled with zhen Qi, clashed together. Sparks flew everywhere, looking extremely bright.
"Why do I feel a bit numb?" On the audience seating, a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior had goosebumps all over his body as he said with a shaky voice.
"Me too."
"I heard that the battles between powerful sword artists would make the audience shiver. Today, I can see that it is indeed the case."
"There is a huge difference between sword artists and blade artists. Blade artists need to be bold and powerful, and their blade aura would make people's blood boil. However, sword artists are the exact opposite. They try their best to beat their opponents with the smallest cost. They are good at killing with one attack, which is the sublimation of their techniques. Therefore, they will leave a terrifying impression on people."
It was an Astral Reaching Realm sword artist who was talking.
While the audience was chatting, the battle on the battling platform had already reached its climax.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sword light spread out, clashing with each other sharply!
"Kill!"
Dozens of sword attacks had been blocked by Ye Chen in a row. Li Daoxuan took three steps back. During the process, he shook his wrist, and a sword light that could cut through metal appeared on his longsword. The sword light seemed to be invisible, as if it could ignore the distance between them. It pointed right at Ye Chen, who was not far away.
Pop!
The sword light was shattered. It was shattered by an invisible sword light.
After shattering the sword light, Ye Chen extended his body, his blue robe dancing in the air. He threw out a sword attack. The shocking sword speed made the sword light not have enough time to flash. Together with it, there was also that sword art poetic perspective that could confuse people's senses.
Sixty percent sword intent, Lone Peak Kill!
"I cannot block it out!"
Li Daoxuan was shocked. He closed his eyes and pushed his flying art to its limit, shooting out violently. No one knew why he had backed out so fast, because they could not feel the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill.
Shoo!
A stream of blood splashed out along the tip of the sword. Ye Chen stopped his steps.
"Indeed, the Lone Peak Kill with sixty percent sword intent is still a bit too powerful. It would not work on other sword artists at the same level."
Ye Chen looked at Li Daoxuan, who was ten meters away. Li Daoxuan had escaped from the poetic perspective and stopped immediately. However, there was a light sword mark on his face.
"This is the sword art that you had performed before." Li Daoxuan's confusion had been solved. During the knock-out competitions and the ranking competitions, Ye Chen would occasionally perform the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill. He had been wondering what kind of poetic perspective it was, but now he finally understood.
Ye Chen did not answer, but asked instead, "The battle between you and Yan Chihuo was very interesting. Why don't you use all of your ace attacks on him?"
The Lone Peak Kill had been exposed and dodged by his opponent, but Ye Chen was not worried at all. The power of the movement did not lie in the movement itself, but in the person using it. The same movement would have different effects in different hands. That sword attack before was just a test, to test Li Daoxuan's bottom line. Next time, the Lone Peak Kill would be used at the most appropriate time.
"Sky Kill!"
Needless to say, Li Daoxuan naturally knew what to do. He performed the sword movement that had beaten Mo Yan with only one sword attack. The sword light was hidden inside, spreading out everywhere. His whole body stepped on sharp steps, as if he had turned into a sharp sword, shooting towards Ye Chen.
"Break!"
Ye Chen's spirit, Qi, and soul were extremely condensed. The Star Scar Sword in his hand was waved at an unimaginable speed. Within a second, he had thrown out at least hundreds of sword attacks. The invisible sword light had formed a layer of invisible sword net in front of him. His extraordinary style had made the eyes of some of the female disciples brighten up.
Pop! Pop!
Just like Ye Chen had expected, Li Daoxuan's Sky Kill sword movement indeed contained two layers of power, one in the light and one in the dark. The sword attack in the light might look like a fake attack, but it could not be avoided. The sword attack in the dark would definitely kill with one attack, which was where Li Daoxuan's real body was. The two complemented each other, which was enough to kill warriors at the same level. Right now, the sword attack in the light had been broken, so Li Daoxuan's dark attack was coming right at Ye Chen's throat.
Ting!
A metal clashing sound was heard. Li Daoxuan's sword had been blocked out.
It was also a sword that had blocked him. The sword light kept spinning, piercing through the air and chasing back. It stuck close to Li Daoxuan's sword body, attacking towards his palm.
Li Daoxuan frowned. Ye Chen's toughness had made him feel like he did not have enough power for the first time. When Ye Chen was breaking his attack, he did not release his Lone Peak Kill poetic perspective. When his sword attack was broken halfway, the poetic perspective suddenly appeared, which slowed down his reaction speed by half a second. His sword's speed had been slowed down, and that half a second was enough for Ye Chen to use his sword to block and fight back.
"Moving Sword Steps!"
His feet were like swords, and his body was like a ghost. Li Daoxuan's body moved away, avoiding Ye Chen's counterattack.
"Small Sky Shattering Clouds!"
Holding the sword with only one hand, Ye Chen's sword art style changed. Every movement contained thunder and lightning, and the wind and clouds started to gather. It contained an endless explosive power. It was like what he had thrown out was not a sword attack, but beams of lightning and clouds, not giving Li Daoxuan any chance to breathe.
Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!
The sword qi left cracks on the ground. Li Daoxuan did not expect Ye Chen's style to change so quickly. It had completely messed up his own rhythm, and he kept performing his Moving Sword Steps.
"Earth Explosion Sky Shock!"
Finding out Li Daoxuan's pattern of dodging, Ye Chen suddenly stomped on the ground. He performed the secret martial art that he had gotten from the Bloody Butcher a long time ago – the Earth Explosion Sky Shock. Although the rank of the Earth Explosion Sky Shock was not that high, and it would not be able to cause any real damage to his opponent, but its supportive effect could not be underestimated. As his zhen qi poured into the ground, the place where Li Daoxuan had landed cracked open like a spider web.
"Not good!"
Without a choice, Li Daoxuan took a deep breath in the air, forcefully stopping his falling body. Then his zhen qi exploded, barely avoiding the attack range of the Earth Explosion Sky Shock.
Shoo!
There was no way that Ye Chen would let go of this opportunity. He performed his Separating Shadow Flying Art. His body flickered, and he quickly appeared in front of Li Daoxuan, throwing out a sword attack.
Li Daoxuan used his sword to block out the attack in an extremely uncomfortable position. He opened his left hand's five fingers, and a suction force appeared out of nowhere, trying to grab Ye Chen's body.
"Separate!"
All he managed to grab was Ye Chen's zhen qi shadow. Under the twisting suction force, it was shattered into pieces.
Boom!
After losing the opportunity to attack, Li Daoxuan could no longer block out Ye Chen's sword attack. Under a dark sword light, his whole body was blown away, and his zhen qi layer had been shattered.
With blood leaking out from the corner of his mouth, Li Daoxuan looked extremely serious. While he was still in the air, he forcefully pushed his zhen qi and performed the Sword Step Step. He changed his original flying route and avoided Ye Chen's next sword attack. Dozens of meters away, Li Daoxuan tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and shot out with his long sword in his hand.
"This is my killing sword attack. If you can block it, you win."
After throwing out the sword attack, the air became even calmer. The sword light attacked towards Ye Chen at a speed that was faster than the human eye could see. If it was only this, it would not be enough to be called Li Daoxuan's killing attack. This sword attack seemed to have blocked out all the noises from under the stage.
Indeed, this sword attack was called Silence.
It was one of the killing attacks of the Heartless Sword Art.
During the battle with Yan Chihuo, Li Daoxuan had used this killing attack to cut off a strand of Yan Chihuo's hair. If it were not for the fact that he could not fully perform his Silence attack, Yan Chihuo might not be able to win against him. Because the two of them had been fighting at such a fast speed, there were very few people who had actually noticed that sword attack. There were less than five or even less people among the young generation.
All the noise disappeared, and there was no trace left in the air. It was like the sword light was no longer a sword light, but a part of the air.
"What a good Silence attack! It is even more perfect than when he was fighting against me." Yan Chihuo was still a bit scared. Excluding the Silence attack, Li Daoxuan was still a bit weaker than him, so it would not be that hard for him to win. However, once the Silence attack was used, even he could not react in time. He could only block and counterattack subconsciously. To win in the end, besides the achievement of his blade art realm, there was also a bit of luck. Otherwise, it would not be a strand of hair that was cut off, but an ear, or even his head.
The leader of the Heartless Martial School had made up his mind. The combination of the Heartless Sword Intent and the Heartless Sword Art would be much more powerful than the sword intent and sword art. Combined with this Silence attack, the situation was starting to look better.
"So this attack is called Silence? What a vivid name."
Ye Chen stood where he was without moving. He stretched his body. As for Li Daoxuan being able to cut off a strand of Yan Chihuo's hair, how could he not notice it? The reason why he had purposely suppressed his sword art realm was because he wanted to see the power of this attack and improve his own sword art realm.
