Murong Zhishui and Murong Wu, who were only a couple of meters away from Ye Chen, did not notice anything strange about Ye Chen. Compared to before, Ye Chen's control over his sword intent had already reached the top level. The second the second the second sword spirit was formed, he did not leak out any sword intent at all.
"Indeed, the third sword spirit has been formed!"
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen focused all of his attention on his sea of soul. Above his sea of soul, besides the slaughter sword spirit and the second sword spirit, there was another illusory, ancient-looking longsword right next to the second sword spirit. This longsword had a dim light, like an abandoned iron sword. However, on the surface of this longsword, there was a bright light of will power as well.
"The third sword spirit is just like the second one, which is as powerful as a normal rank two sword spirit. As for the second sword spirit, it has already reached the peak of rank three. Combined with the destruction or immortality element, it would be as powerful as a peak rank four sword spirit."
In other words, without the slaughter sword spirit, destruction or immortality element, Ye Chen's second sword spirit would only be below the master level sword spirit. Once it was combined with the destruction and immortality elements, its power would reach the peak of rank four sword spirit, which would not be weaker than any master level sword artist.
"The reason why the slaughter element was imprinted on the first sword spirit and formed the slaughter sword spirit was because it had slaughtered enough people. If I want to imprint the destruction element on the second sword spirit, I must comprehend the true essence of destruction. Once the destruction sword spirit is formed, its power will be even greater than the slaughter sword spirit."
Shaking his head, Ye Chen was confused. He was wondering how many sword spirits he could form in the end. According to his estimation, there should be three sword spirits, which were the slaughter sword spirit, the destruction sword spirit, and the immortality sword spirit. After all, there were only three elements in his sea of soul. Of course, it was just an estimation. Who knew if there would be a fourth or fifth sword spirit? If there were, he would have to think about why. He could not even figure out what had happened to him, so what else could he figure out?
"Hm? The slaughter sword spirit and the second sword spirit are resonating. "
Right then, Ye Chen found out something amazing. Inside his sea of soul, the slaughter sword spirit and the second sword spirit had some kind of connection. It was very weak, and if he did not sense it carefully, he would not be able to sense it at all. Moreover, he found out that as the connection was formed, the slaughter sword spirit and the second sword spirit were condensing at a very small speed, as if they had formed a resonance field.
Hu!
A wave of strong flow blew past, causing the bird to shake a little. Murong Zhishui and Murong Wu were both startled awake. Looking at the environment under the cloud ocean, Murong Zhishui laughed, "We have entered the Gu Lan Region. In about two to three days, we will reach the biggest city near the Yuwen family – the Ancient Wind City."
"Shall we go to the Ancient Wind City first?"
Ye Chen asked.
Murong Zhishui nodded, "Right now, going to the Yuwen family would be like entering a tiger's den. Although they would not kill us, they would still be able to imprison us. Once the wedding is over, it would be pointless for us to come out and cause trouble. So, we cannot be reckless."
"You're right."
Ye Chen thought about it and agreed with him. If he entered the Yuwen family on his own, there would be a big chance that he would be imprisoned. Then, the other party would be able to say that he was imprisoned because he had intruded into the Yuwen family.
Right then, Murong Wu said, "Third brother, the Yuwen family would not be easy to mess with. I am afraid that our operation would not be that smooth."
"Even if they are not easy to mess with, we will have to. We have no way out now."
Murong Zhishui said viciously, then looked over at Ye Chen. Ye Chen looked very calm, but there was a sharpness in that calm look.
Ancient Wind City …
It was one of the most famous big cities in the Gu Lan Region, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Yuwen family. Inside the city, there were a lot of martial institutions' branches, which were basically used to protect the local businesses. After all, the martial institutions were too far away, and it would be impossible to have no security.
"Yuwen Ye, I lost to you two years ago. Today, I will take it all back." On the street, two young men were confronting each other. The one who was talking was in his thirties. His long hair was tied up by a yellow band, and there was a dirt-colored battle blade on his back. The blade intent was shooting out of it.
Easily blocking out the incoming blade intent, the handsome young man who was also in his thirties sneered, "Gao Yunfeng, you are a powerful warrior as well. Unfortunately, you should not have come to me. Two years ago, you were not my opponent, and two years later, you will be even more so. I am not interested in competing with you."
"What? Are you scared?"
"Scared? Huh! I am just not interested in wounding you. Perhaps, I might even accidentally kill you. "Yuwen Ye looked disdainful.
"Injuries and deaths are inevitable in battles. I, Gao Yunfeng, do not care about it anymore."
"Alright, since you want to die that badly, I will fulfill your wish. Let's battle outside the city."
A killing intent appeared in Yuwen Ye's eyes as he flew toward the west gate.
Gao Yunfeng followed right behind him.
"Hurry! Follow him! Yuwen Ye is about to battle with Gao Yunfeng, regardless of life or death."
All of the warriors who were watching were excited as they followed.
On the empty wasteland outside the city, the wind was blowing hard. Two human figures kept crossing each other, bringing up a qi power that was enough to tear the ground apart.
"Burning Fire Blade!"
Gao Yunfeng faced the incoming wind and threw out a blade attack. This blade attack was extremely hot, and even the air had been heated red. It spread all the way toward Yuwen Ye, who was not far away.
"You have overestimated yourself." Yuwen Ye reached out his right hand and formed a fist in the air. All of a sudden, circles of light black pattern appeared on the edge of his fist. The pattern expanded rapidly, covering half of the sky. The wind stopped suddenly, and the place became deathly silent.
"Die!"
Yuwen Ye threw out a fist attack toward Gao Yunfeng, who was standing in front of him.
Pooh!
The burning blade qi had been shattered, and Gao Yunfeng puked out a huge amount of blood. His face looked extremely pale, as if he had lost a lot of his life force.
Falling heavily onto the ground, Gao Yunfeng puked out a mouthful of blood and said, "I did not expect you to have trained your Killing Water Fist Art to more than one hundred percent already. I have not lost for nothing."
"I thought this fist attack would be enough to kill you. You are pretty tough. Don't worry, that fist attack did not kill you, so I will not attack again." Yuwen Ye walked over and stepped on Gao Yunfeng's head, pushing it into the mud.
"If you want to fight against me, then you will have to be prepared to be killed or humiliated. You are very lucky."
Seeing this, a lot of warriors shook their heads. The competition between the young generation of the Eastern region was very intense. Therefore, the battles were very cruel and cold.
Leaving the battling area, a gray shadow appeared right next to Yuwen Ye. It was very easy for people to ignore it, since it was mixed with the color of the mud.
"Uncle Huang, what are you looking for me for?"
Yuwen Ye said lightly.
"Your fiancée is here. The head master asked you to go back early and build up your relationship with her." A voice was heard from the gray shadow.
A smile appeared on Yuwen Ye's face as he said, "I have heard from the spies that this fiancée of mine is so beautiful. I would like to go and see for myself."
"Your fiancée will be your wife in the future. But, there is one thing that you have to pay attention to. This fiancée of yours has a good friend, and his name is Ye Chen. Right now, he is almost here in the Gu Lan Region. Whether or not you can get married successfully will depend on your own power."
"Ye Chen … I know. Isn't he just a lucky guy who was chosen by the Dragon King? If he wants to come, then let him. But, I will let him know what it feels like to have both his woman and his dignity taken away. I am afraid that he will not be able to get back on his feet. Haha! " Yuwen Ye did not care about Ye Chen at all. Indeed, the latter's talent might be higher than his, and he was a lot younger than him as well. But, in front of power, it would not be a problem at all. Once one reached the Sea of Souls Realm, age would be an advantage. It was just like the age difference between Life and Death Realm warriors.
The gray shadow said calmly, "He is the martial genius that the Dragon King has chosen after all. You better be careful."
"I know what to do with him."
An evil smile appeared on Yuwen Ye's face as he said, "Let's go back. I am a bit impatient now. "
Shoo! Shoo!
The two flashed their bodies, flying toward the Yuwen family.
After about the time it took to brew a pot of tea, four black dots landed from the sky. They were four seven-meters long Red Eye Bird, with human figures standing on their backs.
"We have arrived at the Ancient Wind City. Let's go down!"
When they were close to the ground, Murong Zhishui jumped down and stood steadily on the ground. With a shoo, Ye Chen jumped down as well.
"This is the Ancient Wind City. It looks like it has been around for a long time."
Landing in Ye Chen's sight was a very ancient city. The mottled walls told the world that this city had been through years of wind and rain, but it still stood strong.
Moving his eyes away from the city, Ye Chen said with a bit of surprise, "So many Astral Reaching Realm warriors have gathered here. Did something happen just now?"
Murong Zhishui said, "I guess there was a battle earlier. Never mind it. Let's go in. "
Entering the city, the group chose a luxurious hotel to stay in.
The night was like water, and the Ancient Wind City seemed to be a lot quieter.
Inside the guest room …
Ye Chen quietly released his soul power. His powerful soul power covered the entire Ancient Wind City within a second, allowing him to sense every corner of the city.
"Eh? There are quite a lot of Sea of Souls Realm warriors here!"
Ye Chen's soul power was way more powerful than normal Sea of Souls Realm warriors. Scanning out with his soul power, he would not be noticed at all. It was just like when he was at the Astral Reaching Realm, where he used his soul power to scan out Astral Reaching Realm warriors.
There were more Sea of Souls Realm warriors in the Ancient Wind City than Ye Chen had expected. Most of them were training, and some of them were doing secret things. Of course, because the soul power was too scattered, Ye Chen would not be able to intercept their voices. He could only tell what they were saying from their mouths.
"Where is Murong Wang going?"
He was about to take back his soul power when Ye Chen sensed that Murong Wang had left the hotel and was flying toward the west, leaving the Ancient Wind City soon.
"This guy!"
A cold light flashed through Ye Chen's eyes. To the west of the city was the Yuwen family. With the speed of a spirit warrior, he would be able to reach there in half an hour.
Murong Wang thought that no one would know that he had left, since he would be able to sense it as soon as he scanned out with his soul power. But, he did not expect that Ye Chen's soul power would be even more powerful than the Sea of Souls Realm warriors', which allowed him to see his every move.
