Dugu Jue's attitude had pissed Tai Shichong off. His expression turned colder and colder as he shot into the sky, staying a hundred steps away from Dugu Jue.
"Dugu Jue, perhaps you have not lost a single battle in the young generation, but today, you will lose for sure. Arrogance will come with a price."
"Perhaps I will lose, but you do not have what it takes to make me lose. Only those with more potential than me can beat me. You are not qualified yet."
Dugu Jue was just like Ye Chen, having never lost a single battle in the young generation. Even Dantai Mingyue, who was just as famous as him, could only fight him to a draw. He had an invincible heart. Although his power was not invincible, his heart was already invincible.
"The more confidence you have, the harder I will make you fall." Tai Shichong stared at Dugu Jue with his sharp eyes.
On the ground and in the sky, hundreds of warriors could sense the battle intent and killing intent of the two. One of them was one of the top three sword masters, who had been famous for a long time. Among the young sword artists, he was only weaker than the head of the top three sword masters. The other was one of the top two martial geniuses of the Sky Martial Region, Dugu Jue, who had never lost a single battle in the young generation. He was extremely talented, and he was a blade artist as well.
Right then!
It was the battle between Tai Shichong and Dugu Jue.
It was also a battle between a sword artist and a blade artist.
Everyone held their breath.
"Although Dugu Jue had not reached the Sea of Souls Realm for long, he is still a monster after all. No one would dare to say that he would lose for sure." Hai Wuya mumbled to himself before glancing at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was also one of the top martial geniuses.
"Who will win or lose will depend on their achievements in the sword art or blade art." Ye Chen could tell that Dugu Jue was already at Mid Sea of Souls Realm, and he had probably run into some special things in the past year. Of course, it might also be resources from the family, since a rank 5 family would be able to get some rare resources for one person.
"Dugu Jue, take this!"
Tai Shichong did not take out his sword. Instead, he jumped out and put his right index and middle fingers together, pointing out a sword finger at Dugu Jue's forehead. It was indeed the Sword of Heaven and Earth.
Chi!
A huge sword shadow extended out.
"Tai Shichong, take out your sword!"
Dugu Jue unsheathed his long saber and swung it down. The pale white light of the saber shone upon everyone's heart.
An ear-piercing exploding sound was heard, shaking the entire space. That pale white blade light had actually sliced open the sword shadow, bringing with it a despairing power as it attacked toward Tai Shichong. Tai Shichong's expression changed as he hurried to pull out his longsword, blocking in front of his chest.
Clang!
Tai Shichong was blown away.
"Hu!"
Taking a deep breath, Dugu Jue's eyes turned even colder. This kind of coldness was not the coldness of an iceberg, but the coldness that made people despair.
He gripped the saber with both hands, his knuckles protruding as he slashed down again. The deathly white saber radiance caused the heaven and earth to turn white. Those who were facing the edge of the saber felt a wave of discomfort and pressure.
"Mountain Sword!"
Dugu Jue's power had shocked Tai Shichong, so he performed his ace attack immediately. That mountain-like sword shadow was like a shield, locking down the whole place.
Crack!
Dugu Jue's saber light was like a hot knife through butter, shattering Tai Shichong's sword shadow.
"How could he be so powerful? And … this despairing power?" Right then, Tai Shichong had already considered Dugu Jue as the biggest enemy of his life. The only thought in his mind was that he could not lose.
A sword artist's will power was extremely strong, so Tai Shichong soon cut away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and focused on the battle. He had thrown away all the honor and glory, only wanting to fight with Dugu Jue with his life. Unknowingly, his sword aura had become even more powerful, and his condition had broken through his limit.
"How could this Dugu Jue be so powerful? Even Tai Shichong could not do anything to him, and even seemed to be at a disadvantage."
A lot of people had their eyes wide open.
Ye Chen frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sky was filled with the saber light and sword shadows. The battle between the two was like a tsunami.
"Water Sword, Heartless Wave!"
His human figure rose into the sky as Tai Shichong held his sword with both of his hands and waved it out. That powerful sword power was endless like water.
"The ocean will dry up, and the stone will rot. What we will face is only despair."
Du Gujue waved out a pale white blade light. Wherever the blade light went, the mountain rocks were cracked open and turned into dust. Tai Shichong's sword power had also been used up soon, and its power had been greatly reduced. However, his face was reflected in the blade light, and there was a rare panic on his face.
The saber light spread out, and Tai Shichong puked out a mouthful of blood before being blown away.
"Tai Shichong is not an opponent for Dugu Jue at all. It seems like it is wrong of us to judge monsters with our eyes."
Hai Wuya sighed.
A lot of people thought that Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue had only reached the Sea of Souls Realm for a year, and they would need a couple of years to accumulate their power. But, Dugu Jue had told them that within a year, he would be able to surpass a sword martial genius like Tai Shichong as well. It would not make sense to judge the martial geniuses with normal eyes. Since they were martial geniuses, they would be able to do things that normal people could not do.
Yan Fengfeng said, "Dugu Jue's saber art is a bit strange."
"It is indeed strange. It seems to be able to attack one's heart." Hai Wuya had the same feeling.
Ye Chen did not say anything; all of his attention was on Dugu Jue.
"Tai Shichong, you have disappointed me so much. I thought I could have a real battle, but you do not even have the right to make me use all of my power."
Dugu Jue's cold voice was heard toward Tai Shichong.
His eyes turned red all of a sudden as Tai Shichong stood on top of a broken mountain. The sword qi on his body shot out into the sky, and his sword intent was actually increasing. It kept increasing until it reached peak level rank 4, which was only one step away from rank 5. Right then, his spirit, qi, and soul had all been infused into his sword aura, aiming at Dugu Jue from afar.
"Alright! I did not expect you to be able to make a breakthrough at this moment. No wonder you are one of the top three young sword masters." Dugu Jue laughed, which was rare for him.
"Dugu Jue, the moment I make a breakthrough will be the moment you lose. Take this!"
Shattering the mountain with one foot, Tai Shichong waved out a sword attack in the air. That circular sword power spread out like a tide, covering the entire sky. With the enhancement of his peak level rank 4 sword intent, this attack seemed to be even more complete.
"You making a breakthrough is a good thing for me. Only by defeating powerful warriors will it be meaningful."
Dugu Jue waved his blade at the incoming attack.
The blade and sword clashed with each other, bringing up sparks everywhere. The two fought from the east to the west, from the west to the north, from the sky to the ground.
It was easy to tell that the two were on par, and Dugu Jue was not able to suppress his opponent right away.
"I did not expect this Tai Shichong to make a breakthrough!"
Down below, Dugu Ming frowned.
"Brother Ming, don't worry. Your cousin has never lost before in a situation where the power is the same." A couple of people next to Dugu Ming said.
"Yes, cousin will not lose."
Dugu Ming's eyes brightened.
"This blade intent …?"
Ye Chen gradually had an idea, and he seemed to be in deep thought.
Above the lake, the battle between Dugu Jue and Tai Shichong had messed up the lake water. Some of the beasts hiding at the bottom of the lake had been sliced into pieces by the blade light and sword light.
"Tai Shichong, you are now qualified enough for me to use my most powerful ace attack." Dugu Jue's power was only slightly higher than Tai Shichong's, and now that Tai Shichong had made a breakthrough, the two were on par with each other. Without using his most powerful ace attack, he would not be able to beat his opponent.
Tai Shichong's eyebrows were like swords as that powerful sword intent made his clothes flutter in the air, and even the space around him became blurry.
"Dugu Jue, I still have to thank you for bringing my sword intent to the next level. The improvement of my sword intent had also made me understand the things that I could not understand before. Now, you will taste the consequences that you have brought upon yourself!"
Tai Shichong yelled with a low voice as his face turned red. That powerful sword intent continued to roll around as if it had a mind of its own. His body shot out at a fast speed as he shook his wrist. That longsword was like an angry dragon, letting out a sky-piercing sword cry.
"Under my most powerful ace attack, you will only have despair."
Dugu Jue welcomed the incoming attack without any emotion. He held his blade with both of his hands and dragged it on the ground, splitting the lake water in half.
Boom!
Before the two clashed together, the lake water had already split into two sides, eventually rushing onto the shore and drowning a huge area of land. Thousands of meters deep mud was exposed.
"Flood!"
Tai Shichong's longsword that was like an angry dragon suddenly changed. The angry dragon brought up a huge wave, sweeping across the world. That ruthless sword power all rushed toward Dugu Jue.
"Desperation Blade!"
At the last moment, Dugu Jue waved out his longblade. That pale white blade light turned into a white rainbow that pierced through the sky. All of the living beings were on it, their faces filled with despair.
"Indeed! It is the desperation element … the desperation blade intent!"
That sharp white rainbow had confirmed Ye Chen's guess.
After waving out that sword attack, Tai Shichong was in a good condition. However, that blade attack from Dugu Jue had made him fall to the bottom. His face was filled with despair, and there was only despair in his heart as well. 'I am going to die! This blade attack will kill me! No matter how I try to block it, I will die! Since it is useless to block it, then why should I block it?
"No!"
Tai Shichong screamed as he bit his tongue tip and threw his longsword onto that pale white blade light.
Chin!
The two passed by each other.
The lake water poured down, drenching Tai Shichong.
Swoosh!
A huge amount of blood poured out of Tai Shichong's chest. That blade attack from Dugu Jue had gone through the longsword and wounded him. Right then, he felt like all of his internal organs had been twisted into a ball.
"This blade attack … Why did it make me feel despair? I am a sword artist, and a sword artist's will should not be affected by anything, not to mention when the power level is the same."
Tai Shichong's face was pale, and he looked like he had lost his soul.
"To be able to survive my desperation blade attack, you should be proud enough." Blood leaked out from the corner of Dugu Jue's mouth. That last sword attack from Tai Shichong had wounded him as well. Of course, it was not as severe as Tai Shichong's; it was only a light wound.
Everyone who was watching the battle did not speak for a long time.
Hai Wuya came back to his senses and looked at Ye Chen, "Brother Ye, what did you mean by the desperation blade intent?"
Ye Chen said, "My sword intent has the destruction element, while his blade intent has the desperation element. Naturally, it is called the desperation blade intent. The desperation blade intent combined with the unique blade movement can make the opponent feel despair, and when that happens, they might die."
The destruction element was different from the desperation element. Desperation was a human emotion, and it could affect the opponent's mentality. However, the destruction element was not an emotion, so it could not do that.
