Although the others did not feel it as deeply as Xie Baiting did, they could all see the change in Dugu Jue. Right then, Dugu Jue gave people the feeling of a killer from hell. As he walked, that despairing qi covered the whole world, and that horrifying blade intent could even scare ghosts and gods.
"Interesting?"
Xiao Chuhe's long blade bounced up and down as an interested expression appeared on his face. Dugu Jue's power was indeed out of his expectation. But of course, it was only out of his expectation. As a master level blade artist, blade intent alone would not be enough to make him change his expression.
"Let's see your battle with Ye Chen first. I hope Ye Chen can last a couple of attacks."
As his body relaxed, Xiao Chuhe knew that his battle with Lu Shaoyou would have to be delayed.
Lu Shaoyou looked at Dugu Jue with a bit of surprise as he thought to himself, 'With only blade intent, Dugu Jue is already at the forefront. I wonder how powerful he really is?'
With a powerful blade intent, one's own power would not be weak. But, it could not be the only thing to measure one's power. The power was all about the warrior's overall performance. Besides the most important things like cultivation, will power, profound sense, and other things that could be improved through training, it would also require battle experience and talent.
Shoo!
A white light flashed once as Lu Shaoyou flew to the lakeside.
Facing such a negative blade intent, Ye Chen did not change his expression as he said, "Dugu Jue, if you want to use your blade intent to threaten me, I am afraid you will be very disappointed."
"Indeed!"
Dugu Jue put away his despairing blade intent. Among all of the young martial geniuses on this true spirit continent, perhaps only Ye Chen was someone that he could not see through. He had already guessed this result, but no matter what, he had to give it a try. Only after trying would he be able to make a decision.
"How could there be such a horrifying blade intent? It almost made me lose control of my mind."
"Me too!"
All of the people who were watching the battle had pale faces as they looked at Dugu Jue with fear.
"This guy is indeed a top martial genius. Once he reaches the Life and Death Realm, he will be a very horrifying king warrior. Perhaps, he will become the second Evil King." Xu Yuan praised.
Xie Baiting said, "If he can reach the Life and Death Realm, he will not be any weaker than Evil King. I think he will walk on another path." Evil King had reached the Life and Death Realm fifty years ago, and was also a famous martial genius. If it were not for Xuanhou, then he would be the number one martial genius of this continent in a thousand years.
"Yeah!"
Xu Yuan nodded and continued to say, "The little girl from the Dantai family is also known as a top martial genius. I wonder if this Ye Chen's title is true or not."
Indeed, Ye Chen's speed of increasing his cultivation could be considered as a top martial genius. But, it was still not as impressive as Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue. The former two had been showing off their top martial geniuses since they were young, and had never disappointed anyone. Therefore, being a top martial genius was both an honor and a pressure. Xu Yuan did not have high hopes for Ye Chen, since it was not easy to reach the level of a top martial genius. Maintaining it for a short period of time was nothing, but maintaining it for a long period of time would be truly horrifying. Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue had already been through it.
"I am afraid that Ye Chen will lose."
Dugu Jue's change had shocked Xie Baiting. Originally, he was quite optimistic about Ye Chen, since Ye Chen was from a small South Rudra Region, which was a very low starting point. Therefore, it was even more valuable. However, Dugu Jue was still able to explode with a huge amount of power even though he was not as powerful as the others. This was what it meant to be a top martial genius. Top martial geniuses would always be able to do the impossible.
"Let's postpone our battle for a bit."
Unexpectedly, Dugu Jue did not start the battle with Ye Chen right away. Meanwhile, Ye Chen acted like it was natural, as if he had already known about it.
Turning around, Dugu Jue looked at Xiao Chuhe, "Xiao Chuhe, you and I are both blade artists. Among the blade artists, there can only be one number one. Therefore, you will lose under my blade for sure."
As he spoke, he then said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I will fight with you as the number one blade artist. I hope you will not disappoint me." The others had taken the top five young warriors as their targets, but Dugu Jue had taken Ye Chen as his lifetime rival. Only Ye Chen could threaten him; the others were only temporary.
Once Dugu Jue said that, everyone was shocked.
Was it arrogance, or was it confidence in his power?
Without a doubt, compared to Dugu Jue, even Beiming Hui was not as powerful. Before his battle with Xiao Chuhe, although Beiming Hui sounded a bit arrogant, it still gave everyone the feeling that he was afraid of Xiao Chuhe. But now that Dugu Jue had said it, it was as if he was even more powerful than Xiao Chuhe.
"You are too arrogant!"
Xiao Chuhe obviously did not expect that Dugu Jue would challenge him first. But, it was not important. What was important was that the latter's tone had completely pissed him off. He was one of the top five young warriors, and he had been through hundreds of battles. It was the first time he had been treated as someone who could be easily killed.
"Alright, I will wait for you."
Ye Chen's reply was very normal, without any arrogance. But, it still made a lot of people look at each other. Dugu Jue had said that Xiao Chuhe would definitely lose under his blade, and Ye Chen had said that he would wait for Dugu Jue. Even an idiot could tell that Ye Chen was implying that after he beat Xiao Chuhe, Ye Chen would wait for Dugu Jue to battle with him. Obviously, beating Xiao Chuhe would not surprise Ye Chen at all.
Xiao Chuhe had already shown his horrifying power before, and if Dugu Jue could beat Xiao Chuhe, then Ye Chen would definitely know how horrifying Dugu Jue was. Under such circumstances, he still dared to say that he would wait for him, which made a lot of people suspicious.
"Arrogant!"
Lu Shaoyou said with a low voice. No one knew if he was talking about Dugu Jue or Ye Chen.
Xu Yuan from the Earth Sword Master frowned as he forced a smile and said to Xie Baiting, "Young people nowadays do not know how to be humble anymore."
"See! Things will come to an end eventually. "
Xie Baiting touched the handle of his blade.
Under the stares of a lot of people, Ye Chen lowered his head, looking very calm. Of course, he would not say those words out of arrogance. To be honest, if Dugu Jue could not beat Xiao Chuhe, then he would not have the power to fight with him at all.
Chin!
Taking out his long blade, the tip of the blade pointed at Xiao Chuhe as Dugu Jue yelled, "Let's fight!"
Shoo! Xiao Chuhe's feet stomped on the ground, and like an exploding wave, he arrived above the Nine Dragon Lake within a second, right in front of Dugu Jue.
"Beiming Hui had said this to me before, but he had lost. I will still say the same thing. If you want to challenge us, you are still too early."
Suppressing his anger, Xiao Chuhe said with a low voice.
"Whether I am early or not, you will find out soon enough."
"Alright then, I would like to see what kind of power you have."
In the battle with Beiming Hui, Xiao Chuhe had waited until the end of the battle to finish the battle. But right now, that horrifying aura of an army was coming out of Xiao Chuhe's body, and his eyes started to turn red. A lot of people knew that Xiao Chuhe had been pissed off, and he would use all of his power right from the start.
"Very good!"
Dugu Jue nodded satisfactorily.
"Lose!"
That long blade with a white light was taken out of its scabbard as Xiao Chuhe held the blade with both of his hands. He threw out an attack from the sky, and that white blade light increased by hundreds of times, looking like a sky blade. The surface of the lake could not handle that powerful blade pressure, and a straight line was formed. All of the lake water within that line was turned into mist.
Dang!
With a wave of his long blade, that incoming blade light was blown away while Dugu Jue himself did not move an inch. He said lightly, "Xiao Chuhe, since I have the confidence to beat you, then I naturally have my reasons. This blade attack is too weak. Bring out all of your power."
Gasp!
The sound of people gasping was heard one after another. Although that blade attack from Xiao Chuhe was not a killing attack, it was extremely fast in that split second. Since that blade attack from Dugu Jue was not a killing attack as well, it was obvious that Dugu Jue had the upper hand in the first attack.
Awooo!
Xiao Chuhe yelled as his body carried that extremely sharp blade light as he shot out, throwing out forty-nine blade attacks toward Dugu Jue. Each blade attack contained a blade aura that could split the ocean. With his power as one of the top five young warriors, if it were someone else, they would have been scared before the battle had even started.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Dugu Jue.
Squinting his eyes slightly, the long blade in Dugu Jue's hand shot out a white-colored blade light. Within that blade light, the images of all living beings appeared on it. That despairing qi spread out everywhere. Different from before, this despairing qi did not only affect one's mental state, but also affected Dugu Jue's body. In that kind of despair, Dugu Jue's power became even more powerful.
Some of them would lose their will to fight in that despair and become like the walking dead.
But some of them would explode with power that they had never seen before. Even if it was just a normal blade attack, it would have the power to kill everything in its path.
With the despairing blade intent, Dugu Jue had been in closed-up training for half a year in the Evil Demon Cave, so he had learned more about the power of despair. Not only did he need to make his enemies feel despair, he also needed to make himself feel the threat of despair. Only by being under the threat of despair all the time would he be able to perform his despairing blade intent to its limit.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Countless blade lights clashed together, and the battle between Dugu Jue and Xiao Chuhe reached its climax. The battle between the two was extremely dangerous. One could only see the blade light flying everywhere, and the white light shining everywhere. It was impossible to see the two's figures clearly, as if they had already been merged by the blade light.
"Using the despairing blade intent as the path of the blade art!"
Ye Chen studied the battle and thought to himself.
Everyone was walking on a different path. Some people would use the sword as a weapon, which was actually no different from a normal warrior, while some would use the sword art to learn the profound. There would be a small group of people who had the attributed sword intent who would use it as their main path, such as the Double Sword King, the Iron Sword King, and even the Battle King. Most of their martial arts were created with the attributed sword intent as the core. For example, the Double Sword King had the slaughter sword intent. Although his martial arts were no different from the others, and contained the same profound, people would be able to sense the killing aura in his martial arts. They were created purely for killing, and contained their own characteristics. Since Ye Chen had inherited their attributed sword intent, he could not be more familiar with it.
However, Ye Chen was different from all of them. He was walking on the pure sword art, and the so-called profound and sword intent were all for the sword in his hand. Of course, the sword in his hand did not refer to a specific sword, but rather his sword artist's heart. As long as the sword artist's heart did not die, he would not stop moving forward. He would use the sword in his hand to break through all the obstacles.
He gradually realized that the sword intent was derived from the sword, or it could be said that it was derived from the heart of a swordsman. Without the sword, without the heart of a swordsman, it was impossible to derive the sword intent. The source of the sword intent was oneself, the sword. What he wanted to walk on was the pure Sword Principle, the upright Sword Principle, which would not change.
