"Sky Bank!"
"Spiritual Sword Attack!"
"They are going to use their killing attacks!"
Everyone held their breaths without blinking. Killing attacks were not always about the more powerful they were, but the more effective they were. For example, no matter how powerful the attack was, if it could not land on its target, then it would be useless. It would not count as a killing attack, but Ye Chen's Gold Pattern attack was definitely a killing attack. Judging on its power, it was even more powerful than the Spiritual Sword Attack. However, he did not want to use it to beat his opponent, since he wanted to know which would be faster, the Spiritual Sword Attack or the Sky Bank Attack.
"Alright! Try my Sky Bank Attack!" Beiming Hui squeezed his eyes as he held his spear with his right hand. His toes touched the ground as he shot out toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked calm as he took out his gold sword a bit from its scabbard. He then extended his body, attacking toward his opponent like a shadow. His qi was like a sword as he flew on it.
Shoo!
Both of their auras were extremely sharp. One of them pressed forward with an indomitable will, while the other had strands of sword Qi, crisscrossing unstoppably. When the two of them approached each other at an extreme speed, even the raging wind was sliced into pieces, and the place was as still as water. Anyone with a lower cultivation base would feel that time had slowed down.
While flying, the silver dragon long spear in Beiming Hui's hand pulled back, and something weird happened. At the end of the long spear, a space pattern spread out, forming a curved shape. It was like a huge bow formed from space, and the long spear was the sharp arrow on top of it.
"Sky Bank, So Close!"
Beiming Hui groaned as he stabbed out a spear attack, leaving no trace behind.
"Spiritual Sword Attack!"
Taking out his gold sword, Ye Chen's right hand looked like it was pushing away the clouds. He threw out a sword attack that seemed slow but was actually fast. The sword wind was shapeless and traceless, looking extremely gentle.
"So fast! I can't even see its trajectory!"
Everyone watching the battle was screaming inside their heads.
Shoo!
The two passed by each other.
Ye Chen stood on a small mountain with his back facing Beiming Hui.
Beiming Hui stood on a huge tree with his back facing Ye Chen as well.
"Who won?"
Chu Zhongtian frowned as he stared at Ye Chen and Beiming Hui. He wanted to see something, but he could not find anything.
Murong Qingcheng frowned.
Murong Zhishui and his wife were holding hands. They could feel the cold sweat on each other's palms.
Hu!
A gust of wind blew past, and the deathly stillness was swept away.
"What a powerful sword move. It actually made me feel the danger of death. Unfortunately, it didn't hit me." A joyful expression flashed through Beiming Hui's face. The second they exchanged attacks, he was terrified. Ye Chen's sword was like a gentle breeze, turning his killing intent into a gentle breeze. He did not know where it would land at all, and being able to dodge that sword attack was something he did not even know himself.
"Oh no, Ye Chen's sword didn't hit him!"
Murong Zhishui was taken aback.
Su Ruhui tightly held Murong Zhishui's palm, "Don't worry, even if Ye Chen's sword didn't hit him, his spear might not hit Ye Chen."
Putting the longsword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen turned around, "Oh yeah? You think it didn't hit you? "
Shoo!
Beiming Hui was about to turn around and say something when he felt a chill in between his eyebrows. There was some liquid dripping down. He reached out his hand to touch it and saw that it was blood red.
"How is this possible?"
Beiming Hui's eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief and confusion. If he had been hit by that sword, it would be impossible for him not to feel it. After all, he was not a normal person, and his reflexes were way beyond warriors at the same level. But the thing that he could not accept the most was that the sword had hit right between his eyebrows, which was where the soul ocean was located. But, he could not feel it at all.
If Ye Chen had wanted to kill him, then that sword would have gone through his eyebrows.
"The gap is just too huge. Although that sword might not be able to break through my defense, if it were my eyes, it would have definitely blinded me."
Chu Zhongtian gasped. He was not afraid of fast attacks, but powerful ones. Only powerful attacks would be able to break through his defense. But, Ye Chen had broken that rule. Even if it could not break through his defense, it would still be able to pierce through his eyes or throat without him realizing it.
"It seems like I will not be able to return this wound to him in a short period of time."
Ye Chen had left a cross sword mark on Chu Zhongtian's chest, and because of his evil spirit body, it would not disappear. Although Chu Zhongtian did not hate Ye Chen that much, and he did not want to kill him, as a martial genius, he would not give up just like that. Even if there was no hope in his life, he would not give up.
"Brother Beiming has lost. Indeed, Ye Chen is even more horrifying than Dugu Jue."
The young warrior who came with Beiming Hui shook his head.
"Ah … Being ranked forty-eight on the master level warrior ranking, how could he be simple? Brother Beiming has lost a lot this time."
Whooo!
Murong Qingcheng let out a breath. She suddenly thought of that lush grassland in the valley. Could it be Ye Chen's work?
"Formless and invisible … One sword attack without a trace."
Beiming Hui turned around and said without any expression on his face, "I did not expect my Sky Bank to be defeated one day. Alright, after battling with you this time, I have discovered the biggest weakness of my Sky Bank. I hope that before I challenge you next time, I will be able to defeat it. I hope that before I challenge you next time, you will not lose to anyone else. "
Beiming Hui was very stubborn. Although losing to Ye Chen was humiliating, he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to beat the latter and return the humiliation. This defeat was only a small setback in his life.
Plus, he still had to thank Ye Chen. It was because of Ye Chen's Spiritual Sword that he had found the hidden weakness of his Sky Bank. As long as he could get rid of it, he would not be the one who would lose next time.
"It is good to have confidence. But, I do not have time all the time. If you want to challenge me, you will have to see if you have what it takes."
The wind blew on his clothes as Ye Chen said lightly.
"You do not need to worry about me. I, Beiming Hui, have always been powerful. I am afraid that one day, when I challenge you, you will no longer be able to interest me."
"Let's go."
After saying that, Beiming Hui carried his long spear on his back and flew out the way he had come. The other young warriors froze for a second before following him.
"So arrogant! Still so arrogant after losing!"
"If it were not for warrior Ye holding back, that sword attack would have killed him."
People from the Murong family were not happy about it.
Ye Chen chuckled, not really caring about it. There were way too many martial geniuses who had lost to him, and he could not even remember some of them.
After the battle between Beiming Hui and Ye Chen had ended, Chu Zhongtian turned around and was about to leave.
"Chu Zhongtian, since you are already here, why not catch up?" Ye Chen still thought highly of Chu Zhongtian, since this was an opponent with a lot of potential.
Chu Zhongtian shook his head and said, "No, I will challenge you the next time we meet. Let's catch up then!"
As he spoke, Chu Zhongtian pushed his evil yuan and turned into a beam of dark red light, disappearing into the horizon within a blink of an eye.
Flying down from the peak, Ye Chen landed on the plaza of the Murong family.
"Ye Chen, are you alright?"
Murong Qingcheng walked over. The second when Ye Chen and Beiming Hui exchanged attacks, she had opened her demon eyes. However, she could only vaguely see a blurry spear shadow. It was not hard to tell how fast Beiming Hui's spear was, which was almost beyond her demon eyes' ability.
Ye Chen grabbed Murong Qingcheng's hand, "That spear attack is indeed fast, but just like he said, it has a huge weakness."
Sky Bank was the fastest spear attack he had ever seen. But, because of its extreme speed, it was moving in a straight line. If it were a straight line, then it would be possible to predict it beforehand. It was exactly because Ye Chen had predicted the attack point that he was able to dodge the attack instantly. Otherwise, he would have to use his Spiritual Sword to block out the attack, and he would not be able to leave a shallow sword mark on his opponent's forehead.
"Weakness?"
Murong Qingcheng thought about it. She also thought that Beiming Hui's Sky Bank attack was too simple. But, it was only for Ye Chen. If it were someone else, they would not be able to react at all. Therefore, this attack might be a weakness for Ye Chen, but it might not be a weakness for others.
"Haha! Good brat! I did not expect you to reach the next level."
Murong Zhishui was feeling great.
Su Ruhui frowned and said, "I have never seen such an arrogant young man before. He does not know how to hold back at all."
Beiming Hui's last sentence made Su Ruhui a little unhappy.
Ye Chen laughed, "Aunty, don't worry. If I can beat him once, I can beat him again. One day, he will be desperate."
As he said that, Ye Chen was talking with a smile, but it gave people an unquestionable feeling, as if what he said was the truth.
"You brat, you are quite arrogant as well."
Hearing him, Su Ruhui laughed. With such a powerful future son-in-law, she could trust him to take care of her daughter.
"He has always been arrogant."
It was rare for Murong Qingcheng to crack a joke. She knew Ye Chen very well, and she knew that he was a man who looked calm on the surface, but was actually a volcano on the inside. It was just that he rarely showed it, or maybe he did not care to show it.
"Hehe, you do know me well."
Ye Chen suddenly thought of Xu Jing, who knew him very well as well. Indeed, he was not arrogant, but he had his pride. People with pride would never think that they could not do it.
"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now. Go do your own things." Murong Zhishui waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, then said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, although you are very powerful, you still have weaknesses, such as defense. Defense is a weakness that sword artists cannot cover up."
"Yeah."
Ye Chen nodded. A sword artist's biggest weakness would be their defense. Sword intent could greatly increase one's attack, but it would not be able to increase one's defense. However, martial intent would be able to do so. Everything had its pros and cons, and it was unavoidable. Although he had the dragon bone defense layer now, it was not omnipotent. If he ran into a powerful opponent, it might not be able to keep him safe.
Murong Zhishui continued, "You should know about the Treasure Holy Tower, right? I had been there once before, but my luck was not good, and I only managed to get one top rank item. With your power, however, you should be able to get to the fourth floor and have the chance to get a semi extreme rank item. "
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Su Ruhui said worriedly.
Murong Zhishui said, "For normal master level warriors, there is a certain amount of danger. But for top master level warriors, the danger is almost negligible. Although the danger is low, the most important thing to do in the tower is luck. If you are unlucky, you will get nothing. Plus, you have to be careful of other people as well. In a situation where there are too many monks and not enough meat, the most dangerous person would be the one who goes in."
"Of course, I'm not reminding you to go to the Holy Treasure Pagoda for no reason. It's just that although the Holy Treasure Pagoda is open all the time, it only opens the first floor. The second floor opens in the second year, the third floor in the third year, the fourth floor in the fourth year, and so on. This time, it just so happens to be the fourth year of the new cycle. If there are no accidents, every talented genius will go there. If you don't go, you will be dragged down by them."
"Of course, I will go."
Ye Chen had already planned to go there. If he could get a semi extreme rank defensive item, it would be very useful for him.
It should be known that items were also part of one's power, and absolute fairness would be absolute injustice.
