The black sword light rolled back without any warning, and the Black Sword Artist was sent flying by his own sword. Just like the essence of this profound martial skill, Black Dragon Wave, its trajectory was mysterious. If the opponent couldn't block it, then neither could the user. It was ironic.
Spraying blood everywhere, the Black Sword Artist crashed into the Zhen Yuan barrier of the crowd in the pavilion. With his back as the center, a circular shockwave exploded.
Many of the spectators stood up, and those who didn't were slightly trembling. Regardless of whether they stood up or not, they were all indescribably shocked.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable! He actually broke the Black Sword Artist's profound martial skill and counterattacked. What kind of determination and sword technique is needed to achieve this?"
"He previously said that this blood might not be mine, and might be yours. I thought he was just saying it casually, but I can't believe he actually did it."
"I can't deny that his sword dao cultivation base is already above the Black Sword Artist."
If it could be said that the horrified expressions of the others were more or less filled with confusion and incomprehension, then the horrified expression of the Deadly Swordsman Leng Zhuo was completely filled with understanding and understanding. His title as the Deadly Swordsman was as his name implied. His sword art was extremely ruthless and ruthless. He walked a tricky path, making it impossible for one to see the trajectory of his sword or see the trajectory of his sword. By the time one saw his sword, it would already be too late.
Although he didn't comprehend an elemental sword intent and couldn't compete with the Black Sword Artist in terms of pure offensive power, his techniques could make up for this disadvantage. He had mastered a total of three top rank earth realm sword arts, all of which he had cultivated to the extreme. Apart from that, he had also comprehended a low rank profound sword skill to forty percent completion. These three sword arts and one sword skill were all focused on killing in one strike. Even if he were to face the Black Sword Artist, he wouldn't be afraid. In his opinion, the odds of victory were only fifty-fifty. Either he would be defeated by the Black Sword Artist, or he would be able to injure the opponent in a short time and win. There was no third possibility.
Originally, after the fight between Ye Chen and the Black Sword Artist, regardless of the outcome, Leng Zhuo would challenge one of them. But now, he no longer had the heart to challenge Ye Chen.
This person's sword art was the type that Leng Zhuo was most afraid of encountering. It was perfect and flawless. Of course, a flawless sword artist didn't mean that he could defeat a flawed sword artist. However, there was no doubt that Leng Zhuo was most afraid of a flawless sword artist. In his opinion, Ye Chen was a flawless sword artist. Ye Chen had used the same amount of power to suppress the berserk Black Sword Artist from start to finish. This was something that Leng Zhuo couldn't do. If he were to face Ye Chen, Leng Zhuo would probably be weaker than Black Sword Artist.
Especially after Ye Chen executed the Reverse Sky Lightning Cut, Leng Zhuo knew that he didn't have the slightest chance. Not to mention killing Ye Chen with a single strike, he would probably be killed by Ye Chen with a single strike.
Leng Zhuo relaxed his clenched fists. He had already given up on challenging Ye Chen.
Puff!
Kneeling on one knee, the Black Sword Artist vomited a mouthful of blood, his complexion extremely pale.
"You actually counterattacked my Black Dragon Wave?"
His shock wasn't without reason. Ye Chen could shatter the Black Dragon Wave, but he couldn't accept the fact that he was injured by the Black Dragon Wave.
Ye Chen glanced at the Thunder Sword in his left hand and said, "For a moment of inspiration, I have to thank you."
The Reverse Sky Lightning Cut was just something he had casually executed. After all, he was proficient in two great mentalities, one being the Thunder Mentality and the other the Wood Mentality. Sword arts that were propelled by these two mentalities needed a corresponding treasure sword to complement them. No matter how fast Ye Chen's sword swapping speed was, there would always be a waste. Therefore, with a flash of inspiration, he used his left hand to reverse grip the Thunder Sword and executed the Sky Lightning Cut.
Thunder struck down from the sky, and it was called Sky Thunder. As it struck down, it was like a peerless treasure sword, sharp and unstoppable.
The Reverse Sky Lightning Cut moved in the opposite direction, striking from below like the reversal of the universe. The sky was no longer the sky, and the earth was no longer the earth. Not only could it cut off the opponent's attack, it could even counterattack the opponent's attack, returning it to its normal state.
It sounded easy, but it wasn't necessarily easy to do.
The first time Ye Chen performed the Reverse Sky Lightning Cut, it wasn't the real one, because it didn't have any other function other than cutting off a bit more power. However, the second time he performed it, Ye Chen purposely made it work. It was all thanks to Ye Chen's powerful soul. Relying on his terrifying soul source, he was able to reverse the Sky Lightning Cut in a short time, using the most powerful point of the attack at the moment of the sword attack and the weakest point at the moment of the attack. It was the exact opposite of the normal Sky Lightning Cut. Therefore, no matter if it was the Reverse Sky Lightning Cut or the Sky Lightning Cut, they were essentially the same. Otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn't have been able to recreate a sword movement that was more powerful than the Sky Lightning Cut.
The Reverse Sky Lightning Cut was not only a counterattack movement, but also an offensive one. However, the counterattack was a bit more strange, and impossible to defend against.
In other words, with the Reverse Sky Lightning Cut, Ye Chen's awkwardness had been alleviated to a certain degree.
Regardless of whether he wanted to admit it or not, the lack of sword movements was his biggest problem. Other people had the support of powerful martial institutions, so after learning a top rank Earth Realm sword art, they could still learn a second one. If they got bored of top rank Earth Realm sword arts, they could change their tastes and challenge more difficult profound sword arts.
Up until now, he had only inherited one Green Lotus Sword Art, which was honestly very powerful. It was way more powerful than normal top rank Earth Realm sword arts. It was almost the peak of top rank Earth Realm sword arts, and there was no other top rank Earth Realm sword art that could be more powerful than it. Because of this, the ninth movement was extremely hard to comprehend. Ye Chen suspected that with this amount of time, he could even comprehend a profound sword movement that required the thunder profound to thirty percent.
Although once he comprehended the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Art, its power would be unparalleled, and it might even surpass Ye Chen's imagination. However, if he did not comprehend the ninth movement, he would not be able to use it as his ace attack, and he would not be able to change the situation.
Besides the Green Lotus Sword Art, the Sky Lightning Cut had been created by Ye Chen step by step. He had been using it from the beginning until now, and it had been extremely smooth.
Besides these two, Ye Chen did not have any other ace sword art that he could use anymore.
Right now, the Reverse Sky Lightning Cut had undoubtedly solved Ye Chen's urgent problem. In a situation where the power was equal, the importance of martial arts was way too big, and it was related to life and death.
Hearing Ye Chen say that he would have to thank him for the sudden inspiration, Black Sword Artist almost puked out another mouthful of blood. Although he did not puke out any blood, his face was still extremely pale. His opponent still had the time to create an unimaginable sword movement in the middle of a fierce battle, which was no different from slapping his face.
Sudden Inspiration! Anyone could have a sudden inspiration, but it did not mean that it could be put into action. After all, this was not a battle between Mortal Realm martial artists, where a sudden inspiration could turn the tables. It should be known that they were absolute Astral Reaching experts, and that sudden inspiration, which could be put into action without any time, was completely useless. On the other hand, Ye Chen's sudden inspiration had almost beaten him half to death. The difference between the two was too big.
Therefore, Black Sword Artist did not believe that this was a sword move created by Ye Chen's sudden inspiration. It was certainly his hidden ace.
Thinking of this, Black Sword Artist felt much better. Being defeated by a hidden ace was something he could reluctantly accept, although his face was a bit unsightly.
"After the Tea Gathering, I will fight you again."
Black Sword Artist had made up his mind to comprehend Black Dragon Wave to forty percent completion. If not for the fact that he had spent too much time comprehending the Slaughter Sword Intent, he would not have lost to Ye Chen today. However, he did not expect that without the Slaughter Sword Intent, how would he be able to fight against Ye Chen?
The huge black sword landed on the ground as Black Sword Artist stood up and returned to his seat without saying a word.
Thunder Princess watched Black Sword Artist leave and slowly let out a breath, then announced, "This battle, Ye Chen wins!"
Hearing these words, everyone in South Rudra Region had different expressions.
Mu Lingfeng was ecstatic. He did not expect that at the last moment, Ye Chen would defeat Black Sword Artist so cleanly. That sword move was simply too stunning.
Sikong Sheng sneered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Beside him, Seventh Night and Sixth Night exchanged a bitter smile, believing that they were not Ye Chen's opponent.
Everyone else's expression was normal. They had long since seen how deep Ye Chen was. Perhaps, he still had more powerful killing moves.
In Gold Sand Region's direction, the purple haired bewitching woman beside Astral Spirit son turned her head and said, "Leng Zhuo, aren't you going to challenge him?"
Dressed in gray clothes, the ordinary-looking Leng Zhuo was just like his name, cold and indifferent. It was as if nothing could attract his attention, yet he seemed to put everything in his eyes. His expression did not change, neither cold nor hot as he said, "I am not as good as him!"
"Interesting!"
The purple haired bewitching woman was slightly astonished. She was not a sword artist, so she did not know much about the deep level battles between sword artists. However, she understood Leng Zhuo. This person's sword arts were unique, and he specialized in killing with one strike. Even if he were to face someone stronger than him, he would be fearless. There were examples to prove that in the past few years, he had killed countless sword artists stronger than him. He was called the Life Reaper Sword Artist by the people of Gold Sand Region.
The purple haired bewitching woman originally thought that Leng Zhuo would challenge him. Who would have thought that he would directly say that he was not as good as Ye Chen? This did not sound like he was inferior in strength, but in the aspect he specialized in. In other words, Leng Zhuo believed that he had no chance at all.
After defeating the Black Sword Artist, Ye Chen felt that his Zhen Yuan had been consumed quite a bit. He cupped his fists and said, "I've already fought four battles in a row, and my Zhen Yuan consumption is not small. I'll go take a rest."
After saying these words, he turned around and walked back to his seat.
Looking at Ye Chen's back, a lot of people let out admiring gazes. One man and one sword, battling four people in a row, and defeating four of them in a row. Moreover, none of them were nameless warriors. Such an achievement would definitely cause a sensation. Because of him, the South Rudra Region had jumped from the first level to the second level, and was unparalleled in the second level.
Regardless of the outcome of the tea gathering, the title of the number one sword artist of South Rudra Region had completely fallen into Ye Chen's hands. In a few days, it would spread throughout the entire South Rudra Region, and his fame would resound throughout the whole region for the first time.
Number one sword artist!
South Rudra Region!
What kind of glory was this?
Apart from the glory of being the number one sword artist, everyone believed that Ye Chen had the strength to enter the top ten. Top three wasn't too likely, but fourth, fifth, or even sixth was a possibility.
"He has truly become famous overnight!"
Everyone sighed inwardly.
Ye Chen's departure from the stage made the following exchanges somewhat dull. However, everyone was looking forward to the fiery exchanges. After all, there were still many powerful figures who hadn't made their moves yet, especially the Thunder Princess, Edict Prince, and Astral Spirit son.
