The power that came out of desperation was just way too powerful. Even though Xiao Chuhe had already used all of his power and was even slightly more powerful than before, he still could not get the upper hand at all. He was completely suppressed by Du Gujue and had to back out three thousand meters, his blade art starting to get messed up.
"Damn!"
Xiao Chuhe was furious. Both of his eyes were bloodshot as his whole body used the power of that long blade attack to jump back into the air, throwing out a blade attack at Dugu Jue in front of him.
"You have been covered by despair. There is nowhere to run."
Dugu Jue looked cold as his gray pupils shone with an emotionless light. Xiao Chuhe's figure was reflected in his eyes, almost drowned by the gray background.
Dang!
Lifting up his right arm, he threw out another blade attack. Xiao Chuhe backed out hundreds of meters again, and the clothes on his body had been torn apart, revealing the defensive armor underneath.
"The despairing blade art is indeed powerful!"
Although Ye Chen had not chosen the path of developing his sword art based on the attributed sword intent, he did not deny it either. There was an advantage to using the despairing blade intent as the path, which was that the initial growth would be extremely fast. His power would increase exponentially, and the higher his understanding of despair, the more power he would be able to explode. Plus, because of the despairing aura, all of the blade attacks created would have the despairing element, which would be extremely coordinated. It would be able to bring out all of the power within the despair. Meanwhile, Ye Chen's sword art was very inclusive. It was calm and peaceful, and its growth was neither fast nor slow. However, it was very stable, and could be controlled one hundred percent.
Therefore, it was still too early to talk about which path would be better. But, one thing was for sure: Ye Chen had not chosen the path of the Battle King or the Iron Sword King. As for the Dual Sword King, it was even more impossible, since he had chosen his own sword art. Dang! Dang!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Bright sparks exploded in the air like bright fireworks. Wherever Dugu Jue went, Xiao Chuhe would back out. Right then, most of the people could tell that Xiao Chuhe had been completely suppressed, and the chance of him turning the situation around would be very slim.
Among the people watching the battle, one of them shook his head and sighed, "It is not that Xiao Chuhe is weak, it is that Dugu Jue is too powerful. Compared to one year ago, his power has increased by at least a couple of times, while Xiao Chuhe's improvement is not more than thirty percent. Therefore, Xiao Chuhe will lose for sure."
"Ah! The top five young warriors are finally going to change. Dugu Jue is indeed a top martial genius. Even Xiao Chuhe would have to make way for him."
"When a veteran powerhouse meets a new monster, the new monster will always be stronger."
Before coming here, no one would have thought that Dugu Jue would be able to beat Xiao Chuhe and become the first one to make it to the top. They all thought that even if it was a top martial genius, it would still take time to grow, and they thought that within one or two years, it would still be the top five young warriors.
Unfortunately, they had forgotten that the reason why the top martial geniuses were top martial geniuses was not something that could be predicted with common sense. Plus, when the top martial geniuses met their opponents, they would explode with even more power. And for Dugu Jue, Ye Chen was without a doubt his catalyst.
Of course, there were still people who thought highly of Xiao Chuhe. One of them said, "Don't forget that Xiao Chuhe still has his ace attack, the Ocean Splitting Three Blade Attack. Even if Beiming Hui loses to that attack, Dugu Jue might not be able to handle it."
"Yeah! Xiao Chuhe's Ocean Splitting Three Blade Attack might be able to beat Dugu Jue."
People who supported Dugu Jue argued back, "Don't you forget that Dugu Jue still has his Despair Blade. One year ago, he could not control it completely. What about now? Just wait and see! "
Boom!
The surface of the Nine Dragon Lake had been shattered by the battle between the two top blade masters.
"Ocean Splitting Three Blade Attack!"
Finally, Xiao Chuhe performed his ace attack. His whole body stepped on the wave, looking down from above as he threw out three blade attacks toward Dugu Jue. The three massive blade lights stacked on top of each other, bringing about a drastic change in the weather of the Nine Dragon Mountain. The wind started to howl, and the undercurrent started to rise.
"You have the right to make me perform my Despair Blade Attack."
The despairing qi on Dugu Jue's body suddenly increased by a couple of times as a cold wind spread out. Meanwhile, his hair had turned gray as well. In the depth of his left eye, a white flame was burning. Whoever was stared at by that eye would feel like they had arrived at hell, where countless evil spirits appeared out of nowhere and attacked their souls.
Shoo!
The space in front of him started to blur, and Dugu Jue's body disappeared from where he was standing.
Crack!
The blade light that Xiao Chuhe had thrown out shattered like a bubble. Soon, a ghost-like shadow appeared in front of Xiao Chuhe and threw out a blade attack.
Without any suspense, under Dugu Jue's Despair Blade attack, all Xiao Chuhe had to face was despair. His protective Zhen yuan was no tougher than a piece of tofu, and it had been sliced in half. The next second, that cold blade power traveled through his armor and into his body before coming out from his back. That invisible blade pressure had sunk a blade mark into the lake surface behind him.
Pooh!
A huge amount of blood spurted out of Xiao Chuhe's mouth, forming a blood column.
He had wanted to dodge, but his body was not listening to him.
It seemed like he did not want to lose to Dugu Jue, so he somehow managed to bring out a new power from his despair, wanting to throw out a blade attack at Dugu Jue who was right in front of him.
Unfortunately, Dugu Jue was even faster than him. Another blade attack landed on his body, blowing him into the lake and making him flip a couple of times. He had completely lost his fighting power and fighting spirit.
"Drawing power from despair … You will never be able to compete with me."
If it were someone else, Xiao Chuhe might have been able to turn the situation around. But unfortunately, it was Dugu Jue who would not be able to do that, because his understanding of despair was way beyond people's imagination. Therefore, Xiao Chuhe's last move was just like a trapped beast trying to fight back.
"Xiao Chuhe lost! Xiao Chuhe really lost!"
"It has been almost five years, right? After five years, a top young warrior has finally fallen. "
Although they had already thought that Xiao Chuhe would lose, when the result came out, most of them were still shocked. Even someone as powerful as Xiao Chuhe had lost to Dugu Jue's blade. It was not hard to imagine how powerful Dugu Jue was. Perhaps no one under forty years old could beat Dugu Jue. Even Bai Wuxue might not be able to do it.
"So powerful!"
Beiming Hui dared to challenge Xiao Chuhe, but he realized that he would rather challenge someone else than Dugu Jue. Drawing power from despair and making his opponent fall into despair, even if it were someone with the same power as Dugu Jue, ninety-nine percent of the time, they would lose.
"Sick!"
Situ Hao was also very scared of Dugu Jue. Making his opponent lose the chance to turn the situation around would make one's scalp go numb.
"Brother Xie, how confident are you in battling him?" Xu Yuan from the Earth Sword Master suddenly asked Xie Baiting.
Xie Baiting forced a smile and said, "If it were another blade artist with the same power as him, then it would be fifty-fifty. But against him, it would be forty-sixty at most. Forty for me, sixty for him."
"It seems like there will not be much to see from now on." Xu Yuan nodded.
