"Peak fourth step Slaughter Sword Intent!"
Ye Chen was somewhat astonished. Peak fourth step Slaughter Sword Intent's might was almost at the level of peak fifth step ordinary sword intent. Although it couldn't compare to Destruction Sword Intent of the same grade, it wasn't much weaker than Destruction Sword Intent in terms of targeting flesh and blood.
Almost at the same time, Ye Chen's forehead swelled, and a boundless Destruction Sword Intent gushed out. Under the assault of this Destruction Sword Intent, the Elders Hall suddenly darkened, as if a black hole had appeared. Even light couldn't escape.
Pop!
Once the killing sword intent and the destruction sword intent clashed, a cracking sound was heard in the sky. The space twisted slightly. Then, everyone saw the chair right next to the second master shatter. His face turned pale, and he backed out three steps uncontrollably. His mind was in a mess.
"Second Elder!"
"Second Elder, are you alright?"
Everyone turned pale with fright.
"I'm fine!"
After two blinks of an eye, the Second Elder recovered his mind and looked at Ye Chen with lingering fear.
"This is Destruction Sword Intent, a supreme sword intent!"
The Second Elder was experienced and knowledgeable, so he immediately recognized the sword intent's attribute.
Ye Chen knew that his opponent was probing him, so he only used the same grade Destruction Sword Intent to resist. Moreover, he immediately withdrew it, intending to retreat rather than injure his opponent. Even so, because of the high quality of Destruction Sword Intent, even at the same grade, it was not something that Slaughter Sword Intent could resist.
"Thanks for letting me win."
Withdrawing the Destruction Sword Intent, Ye Chen said.
"Good! Seems like I, Liu Wusheng, kicked an iron plate this time. Worthy of being the continent's first Sword Master in several hundred years. This Silver Sword Master is nothing in front of you." The Second Elder laughed heartily, his face full of admiration and admiration.
Ye Chen faintly smiled, but didn't say anything. This Silver Sword Master's strength was a bit lacking compared to Master Sky Sword. If he were to say he was being modest, it would be too fake. If he were to say that the opponent was indeed inferior to him, it would easily make the latter unhappy. Therefore, it was best not to say anything.
"I was originally worried about something, but it seems like there's no need now. You alone are equivalent to ten Sea of Soul realm experts. As for keeping you here, I'm afraid I'll need dozens of Sea of Soul realm experts and hundreds of Astral Reaching experts."
Second Elder Silver Sword Master's evaluation of Ye Chen was extremely high. He could tell that Ye Chen had held back a moment ago. As for how powerful the latter's sword intent was, he had no idea. His intuition told him that the latter's Destruction Sword Intent had very likely surpassed the peak of the fourth step and reached the fifth step. However, his rationality told him that this was impossible. Destruction Sword Soul was much harder to raise than ordinary Sword Souls. Although the difficulty of raising it to the fifth step was not as exaggerated as raising an ordinary Sword Soul to the sixth step, it was not that far off.
One was equivalent to ten, and this was just an implicit statement. If he were to engage in guerilla warfare, he might even be able to contend against twenty.
However, if the Second Elder knew of Ye Chen's true strength, his jaw would probably drop. Without the Defensive Sword Art, even if the Destruction Sword Spirit reached the fifth step, Ye Chen would only be able to contend against dozens of Sea of Soul realm experts at most. Moreover, he would have to engage in guerilla warfare. After all, his speed wouldn't allow him to dodge dozens of attacks, and his defense wouldn't be able to block dozens of attacks. Even if his offense was high, it would only allow him to kill people a bit faster and more efficiently.
However, with the Defensive Sword Art, Ye Chen could easily behead people from hundreds of li away. Killing one at a time, a hundred at a time. In theory, Ye Chen could kill endlessly until his Zhen Yuan and soul power were exhausted, and his sword intent dried up. Of course, his opponents weren't fools. They would observe with their soul power, and if they discovered that they couldn't block the Defensive Sword Art, they would join hands and defend together. In that case, the Defensive Sword Art wouldn't necessarily be effective. The joint defense of dozens of people wasn't something a single person could break through.
In any case, Ye Chen decided not to reveal the Defensive Sword Art for the time being. Good steel should be used on the blade's edge, and he would kill to his heart's content. Normally, his strength was more than enough. In a one on one battle, even Master Sky Sword wouldn't be able to block more than a few moves from him.
"Haha, Second Elder, it seems like you're convinced by Ye Chen." The one who spoke was the usually blunt thirteenth elder.
The Second Elder didn't get angry and nodded, "I'm convinced. How can I not be convinced? Seeing is believing. Ye Chen's strength is clear for all to see. I can't be unconvinced. "
"Alright, let's all sit down! The First Elder will be here soon. "The Third Elder saw this scene and nodded to himself before opening his mouth to speak.
Hearing these words, everyone sat down one after another. Ye Chen sat beside Eighteenth Elder, Elder Yu.
It didn't take long for the Grand Elder to arrive. He didn't have the sharpness of the Second Elder or the Silver Sword Master, nor did he have the might of the Third Elder. The Grand Elder gave off a very ordinary feeling, as if he was just an ordinary old man. However, as soon as he entered Elder Hall, everyone quieted down.
The Great Elder stood before the Elders' table and swept his gaze from left to right. When his gaze passed by Ye Chen, he faintly nodded and revealed a gentle expression.
"Since everyone is here, let's begin!"
After speaking, the Great Elder sat down.
The Third Elder waited for the Great Elder to sit down before saying to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I'm very gratified that you decided to come to Dragon God Celestial Palace. However, before that, I have to remind you that the sect war this time is extremely dangerous. It's not as simple as you think. I personally don't recommend you to come. As people of high status, we have to look at the big picture and know which is more important."
"Yeah, you don't need to come. Individual strength can't play a crucial role in the sect war. Although you're very powerful, you can't control the overall situation. You can only reduce the casualties of my Dragon God Celestial Palace, but we'll have to bear the consequences of your fall."
If not for the fact that Dragon God Celestial Palace was facing a crisis and the four opposing forces were pressing on, not a single member of the Elders' Association would have agreed to Ye Chen's arrival. Even the Eighteenth Elder didn't agree. Therefore, they were in a dilemma. On one hand, they wanted to use Ye Chen's battle strength to gradually turn the situation around, and on the other hand, they didn't want Ye Chen to take the risk.
A trace of warmth flowed in Ye Chen's heart. Regardless of whether these elders fancied his talent or had other intentions, they truly didn't want him to take the risk. This was the third power Ye Chen had acknowledged apart from Ye family and Sky Cloud Sect.
Sweeping his gaze around, he engraved everyone in his eyes and said, "I, Ye Chen, have walked out of dangerous situations all my life. Although the sect war is more dangerous, it's no different from an ordinary adventure for me. Moreover, I don't dare say I can help Dragon God Celestial Palace defeat the four opposing forces, but I can guarantee my survival. I believe that after this sect war, my strength will continue to rise. On the other hand, if I don't pay attention when Dragon God Celestial Palace is in danger, my mental state will be obstructed."
Ye Chen's sword dao was upright and aboveboard. After receiving the kindness of others, he naturally had to repay it. Most importantly, he would never deliberately avoid danger unless it was too great for him to bear. Only then would he carefully ponder for the best solution.
Moreover, the longer Dragon King didn't appear, the more danger Dragon God Celestial Palace would face. Even if he didn't come now, he would come sooner or later.
Once Dragon King came out, all the problems would be easily solved.
