All of a sudden, everyone's gaze landed on Ye Chen. Those who had never seen Ye Chen before also saw Ye Chen's real face for the first time.
As one of the top three martial geniuses, Dantai Mingyue also looked over. Then, her eyes landed on Murong Qingcheng, who was wearing a black mask.
"Brother Ye, finally, someone wants to challenge you." Hai Wuya laughed.
Ling Tianhao said, "Ye Chen, do not lose!"
Although he did not think that Ye Chen's power was more powerful than his head disciple Yan Fengfeng, who rarely fought with her real body, but since he could beat Lin Tian, he must have something up his sleeves. This Lan Xieqing was only slightly more powerful than Lin Tian before, and there was no clear winner between them.
"Lan Xieqing is very cunning, just like his battling style. Since he has made the ten attacks agreement with you, he must want to get the upper hand within ten attacks. Then, in everyone's eyes, Lan Xieqing would be slightly more powerful than you." Yan Fengfeng had seen through the problem, so she reminded him.
Ye Chen said, "Making the ten attacks agreement, either he is not confident, or he is very confident. I hope it is the latter."
"What? Ye Chen, you do not dare to accept my challenge?"
Lan Xieqing waved the fan in his hand as he walked out of the pavilion.
Extending his body, Ye Chen lightly flew down from the top of the mountain, stepping on the surface of the Nine Dragon Lake. He opened his mouth and said, "Ten attacks agreement … That is exactly what I want. Let's finish this quickly!"
"Alright! I would like to see how powerful the so-called No.1 warrior below the top five young warriors really are." In the end, Lan Xieqing was not happy about being stepped on. But, just like Yan Fengfeng had said, he was very cunning. If Ye Chen was really powerful, then he would just be the stepping stone for the others, which was not what he wanted. Therefore, he said the ten attacks agreement. He thought that within ten attacks, even if he could not get the upper hand, he would not be at a disadvantage. But, he would let the situation be in his favor.
Whoo!
Lan Xieqing performed his flying art and shot toward the Nine Dragon Lake. On the way, he was still waving his fan. Besides the evil qi, he did look like a young master.
In the middle of Jiulong Lake, the two stood a hundred meters apart.
"Hall Master Mo, this Ye Chen also uses the sword. I wonder what level his attainment in the Sword Dao has reached?" The person who spoke was the leader of a rank six sect in the Misty Snow Region, and the person he was talking to was the leader of the Misty Snow Hall, Snow Sword Master.
"Although ten moves are short, I should be able to see something."
Master Snow Sword was very emotional. Back then, when Ye Chen was being chased by the experts of the Ao Family, she was able to instantly kill all the experts of the Ao Family with a single sword strike. In just a few years, the genius sword artist who was being chased by the experts of the Ao Family had already grown to a level where he could be mentioned in the same breath as her.
"Ye Chen, take this!"
On top of the lake, Lan Xieqing's body was extremely fast as he flashed left and right, approaching Ye Chen in a curved way. The fan in his hand was raised up, attacking with unpredictable shadows.
Clang!
Ye Chen took out his gold sword and attacked as well.
The first exchange of attacks between the two was just to test each other. Therefore, the battle was not that intense. It could only be said that there was a killing intent hidden within the calmness. Once the opponent could not hold on anymore, the calmness of the attack would be able to turn into a killing attack that could severely wound the opponent and end the battle with one attack.
"Misty Dream Flower!"
Lan Xieqing was very good at the misty profound. He formed a spell with his left hand, causing the rolling mist to spread out with him as the center. Soon, it drowned Ye Chen within, turning the area within a few thousand meters in the middle of the lake into a thick mist area.
"What the hell? How can we see clearly like this?"
After Lan Xieqing performed this attack, some of the people who were watching the battle yelled out. Normal mist would not be able to block the soul power detection, but the thick mist that was created by the misty profound had the effect of reducing soul power drastically. Therefore, they would not be able to notice some of the details.
Countless misty flowers were formed as Lan Xieqing stepped on them, attacking towards Ye Chen without making a sound. Every single movement was extremely weird and tricky. If most of the people were walking on the right path, then Lan Xieqing would be walking on the wrong path, winning with surprise attacks.
It was the first time for Ye Chen to fight with a young warrior like this, so he had a general understanding of his opponent's style.
"Break!"
A beam of sword qi broke through the thick mist, separating the lake water.
"Haha, it is useless! Close!"
Lan Xieqing was shocked at Ye Chen's observation power. The latter had not only blocked out his attack, but had also thrown out a counterattack, breaking through the thick mist with one sword attack.
"Speed Sword Hell!"
Ye Chen's expression did not change at all. He had seen the whole Bewilderment Forbidden Zone before, and Lan Xieqing's Misty Dream Flower was just a simplified version of it. Shaking his wrist, Ye Chen performed his fastest sword art. That sharp sword qi filled up the thick mist before shooting out in all directions.
Looking from outside, the thousands of meters of thick mist looked like a huge porcupine. That slim long sword qi was both fast and sharp.
Huh!
A groan was heard from within the thick mist as a human figure was blown out of it. Everyone looked over and found out that it was Lan Xieqing. Right then, he looked a bit messed up, with a light footprint on his chest.
Lan Xieqing swallowed a mouthful of blood that he was about to puke out. Although that kick from Ye Chen was not some powerful martial art, the power contained in it had broken through his protective Zhen yuan and traveled into his armor, causing him a serious internal injury.
"Ye Chen, I have indeed underestimated you. I was too careless."
Lan Xieqing's expression did not look good.
Stepping on the lake water, Ye Chen walked out of the thick mist slowly. He looked up and said, "It has been seven attacks now. You only have three left."
If someone else wanted to take advantage of him, although Ye Chen was not a stingy person, he would not let them get away with it. Therefore, after performing his Speed Sword Hell and combining it with his soul power, he was able to pinpoint Lan Xieqing's exact location very quickly. He then approached with his extreme speed. After exchanging two attacks, he kicked the latter out of the thick mist.
Right now, everyone could tell that Ye Chen had the upper hand.
"Alright, you have forced me to do this."
Lan Xieqing did not plan to risk his life before, but right now, he had no other choice. His reputation was the most important thing to him, so how could he let himself lose to Ye Chen?
"Fog Ocean Attack!"
Behind Lan Xieqing's back, a huge amount of dense fog poured out. This time, the fog did not spread out in all directions. Instead, it gathered behind Lan Xieqing, connecting with his back. It was like a small ocean of fog, rolling up and down, looking both real and fake at the same time.
Boom!
Stepping on the lake water, Lan Xieqing rushed toward Ye Chen in a straight line, which was rare for him. With the support of the fog ocean, he looked so powerful and unstoppable.
"This Lan Xieqing is indeed not to be underestimated. This fog ocean contains not only the fog profound, but also his aura. Under that attack, even the most aggressive young warriors would not be able to handle it. I wonder how Ye Chen is going to handle it."
It was one of the top three master level blade artists, Lin Chaonan, and the one he was talking to was the leader of the three, Xie Baiting.
Xie Baiting said lightly, "Lan Xieqing should still have some tricks up his sleeves, right?" He did not think that he could beat Ye Chen with just the power of the fog ocean.
The lake water could not handle Lan Xieqing's aura anymore, so it was pushed to the sides.
"Lose!"
With a loud shout, Lan Xieqing waved out that jade-like fan in his hand. At the same time, the fog ocean behind him suddenly left Lan Xieqing's body in an even more aggressive manner, devouring Ye Chen immediately. It was like a flood, making a human's strength seem so weak.
If it were a normal person, being attacked by an invisible fog ocean, they would be panicking for sure. Even someone with a calm mind would be affected a little. Not to mention that there was still Lan Xieqing's aggressive attack. Since the fog ocean was pouring out from his body, he was the only one who was not affected at all, and could attack as much as he wanted.
With all these factors, all the warriors who were slightly more powerful would be defeated by Lan Xieqing.
This was Lan Xieqing's ace attack, the combination of the fake and the real. The fog ocean would affect the opponent's mind, and the attack would attack the opponent's body, making them exhausted.
Boom!
An exploding sound was heard. The center of the Nine Dragon Lake caved in immediately, forming a few thousand meters wide and one thousand meters deep hemisphere. At the edge of the hemisphere, the lake water poured out in all directions.
Looking over the waves, everyone saw that Lan Xieqing's fan had been blocked by Ye Chen's gold sword. Lan Xieqing's fog ocean attack did not give Ye Chen any openings at all.
"Hehe … You have lost!"
Lan Xieqing's face flashed with a weird look as he pushed his fan forward along with the gold sword. Shoo! A long and thin sharp blade shot out from the front of the fan, stabbing right at Ye Chen's face. If he were to be stabbed by this sharp blade, it would be inevitable for his face to explode.
"Is that so?"
His left hand moved like lightning as Ye Chen's two fingers blocked the sharp blade.
Since his opponent had attacked right next to the gold sword, his power would inevitably be weaker. Ye Chen's two fingers had not only blocked the sharp blade, but had also ended his opponent's attack. Unless he gave up on his fan, he would not be able to form another powerful attack in a short period of time.
"Not good!"
Lan Xieqing let go of his hand without hesitation and backed out.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen would not give him the chance. He held the gold sword in his right hand and waved it up. That crescent shaped gold sword qi had blown his opponent miles away. Eventually, he slid on the lake water and puked out three mouthfuls of blood. His face was extremely pale.
In the ninth attack, Ye Chen had taken away his opponent's weapon cleanly and wounded him severely.
"Impressive!"
Snow Sword Master gasped.
The leader of the rank 6 martial institution next to her asked, "Leader Mo, what is so impressive about him? How come I feel that he did not use any powerful sword attacks?"
Snow Sword Master said, "It is because he did not use any powerful sword attacks that he is so powerful. Let me ask you, have you seen through him?"
"Not at all."
"That is right. He did not even use eighty percent of his power when fighting with Lan Xieqing. In other words, he is even more powerful than when he fought with Lin Tian."
Around the Nine Dragon Lake, everyone started to discuss.
"He is indeed the number one warrior just below the top five young warriors. He beat Lan Xieqing so easily, and I did not even see any powerful attacks. For example, that sword attack of Tai Shichong's was extremely powerful, and that despairing blade attack of Dugu Jue was even more powerful. Lan Xieqing's Fog Ocean attack was even more powerful."
"His reputation is not just for show. I don't think anyone would doubt his power anymore."
After this battle, Ye Chen had established his position. There would be no lack of challengers in the future, but no one would doubt his power.
"Ye Chen, you are indeed my most powerful opponent."
Dugu Jue watched this battle with a serious look on his face. Dantai Mingyue was a woman after all, and the battle between a woman and a man would be slightly different from the battle between men. It was an undeniable fact, and it was not because he looked down on women.
