Chu Zhongtian had the evil spirit body. Every time he reached a higher realm, his power would increase by a whole new level. Right now, although Chu Zhongtian was only at Mid Sea of Souls Realm, and had not even reached peak level yet, his evil yuan was still not something normal people could imagine.
Even Murong Qingcheng's demon power could not compare to Murong Qingcheng's demon power. Of course, she had the perfect demi demon bloodline, which combined with her demon power, made her look like a human Demons. Adding on the fact that her cultivation had already reached Late Sea of Souls Realm, and she had gone through the one with the world state, her profound sense martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds, which was why her battling power was more powerful than Chu Zhongtian's.
If Chu Zhongtian reached Late Sea of Souls Realm, he would definitely be in the top three of the master level warrior ranking. He would be able to compete with Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue. As for who would be more powerful, it would be hard to say. Besides his evil spirit body and evil yuan, Chu Zhongtian was still lacking in other areas.
"The great era is coming. After ten years, there should be a lot of people here who will reach the Life and Death Realm."
Ye Chen let out a breath as a strange light flashed through his eyes.
Xuanhou had reached the Life and Death Realm at the age of thirty-five, which was a record that was very rare even in the great era. There might not be many people who could surpass her. Even Ye Chen himself did not have the confidence to reach the Life and Death Realm before the age of thirty-five, since there was still half step king warrior above peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm. Just the gap between half step king warrior and peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm had already trapped a lot of people, not to mention the Life and Death Realm. In other words, every step after peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm was like an abyss.
No matter how talented one was, there might still be a chance that one step would fail. However, everyone present here was a rare martial genius. After ten years, there should be some who would be able to reach the Life and Death Realm. For example, Bai Wuxue and the rest of the young generation were already around thirty-five years old, or even older. After ten years, it would not be impossible for them to reach the Life and Death Realm.
Moreover, after ten years, Ye Chen himself would be thirty-seven years old.
The two were traveling at an extremely fast speed, covering hundreds of miles in just a couple of blinks.
"Ye Chen is here!"
Near Jiulong Lake, thousands of pairs of eyes looked at Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng as they flew over. In an instant, Ye Chen became the center of attention.
Hu!
Some of them heaved a sigh of relief, and the worry on their faces faded away. Previously, Ye Chen, Dugu Jue, and Dantai Mingyue were not here. Although there were many of them, there were only a few of them who were powerful, so it was inevitable that they lacked confidence. Now that Ye Chen was here, all of them seemed to have found their backbone and were no longer oppressed by Liu Wujian and Gu Lie's imposing manner. They secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"With Ye Chen here, our True Spirit Continent's chance of victory has increased by at least thirty percent. We already have a fighting chance."
"It's a pity that Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue aren't here. Otherwise, our chances of winning would be higher."
"Don't worry. It's only daybreak now. Maybe they'll all come later."
Everyone spoke one after another, discussing spiritedly.
"Sure enough, you've come!"
Liu Wujian looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said indifferently, "No need to waste time. You and I will decide the winner and loser."
"No!"
Liu Wujian shook his head, "I'm not sure if you have the qualifications to fight with me. If you want to fight with me, you'll have to defeat Gu Lie first."
"Arrogant!"
"So arrogant!"
"Does he think this is the West Ocean?"
Hearing these words, the spectators were filled with righteous indignation.
"Ye Chen, I'll fight in your place."
Just as Ye Chen was about to speak, Yan Fengfeng appeared.
She had seen Gu Lie's strength with her own eyes, and it was indeed powerful. She didn't have fifty percent assurance, but she had the advantage of speed. Even if she couldn't win, it would be hard for him to injure her. In this aspect, no one else could compare to her.
"Be careful!"
Ye Chen didn't refuse. He was very clear about Yan Fengfeng's advantage and strength.
Swish!
Abruptly —
From the northwest, a beam of light shot over, blade Qi crisscrossing.
"We both use blades. Let me fight him."
The light dispersed, revealing a human figure standing in the sky. It was a proud and aloof young man. If it wasn't Dugu Jue, who else could it be? His eyes landed on Gu Lie as he said indifferently.
Yan Fengfeng hesitated for a bit, then backed off. Since Dugu Jue was here, there was no need for her to fight with Gu Lie. Most importantly, she felt that her chances of winning were not high, and she might very well lose.
"Dugu Jue! It's Dugu Jue! I didn't expect him to only be one step behind Ye Chen. I was worried when he would come."
"Haha, Ye Chen is here! Dugu Jue is here! What is there to worry about?"
Dugu Jue's arrival had boosted everyone's confidence. Before, they were still worried about Ye Chen being alone. But now, all the problems had been solved.
"Bring out your blade!"
Dugu Jue was the first to gain the upper hand as he looked at Gu Lie with a condescending attitude.
"Ninety-nine blade strikes, I will defeat you."
Gu Lie looked at Dugu Jue with a serious expression. He could feel that the latter's blade aura was not weaker than his at all. Moreover, it carried an aura that made people feel despair.
"Ninety-nine blade strikes … Even if you attack a thousand times, you won't be able to harm a single hair of mine."
Dugu Jue sneered.
"First blade strike."
Gu Lie didn't waste any time. He pulled out his long blade, and the muscles in his right arm bulged as he slashed out diagonally. It was not over yet. After the first blade strike, Gu Lie's second blade strike followed closely. One blade strike after another, a total of nine blade strikes. Each blade strike was aimed at the blind spots, fast as lightning.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang! Dugu Jue pulled out his long and thin blade, bouncing off all of Gu Lie's attacks. He seemed to be very relaxed, as if he had done it with ease.
"So powerful! Dugu Jue is even more powerful than before. Even Gu Lie's nine blade strikes couldn't threaten him at all."
"Dugu Jue, defeat him!"
The crowd roared.
Beside Lu Shaoyou, Bai Wuxue praised, "He is indeed one of the monstrous geniuses. His improvement is not something that ordinary people can compare with."
Although Bai Wuxue was ranked fourth on the Master Ranking, and Dugu Jue was ranked second, Bai Wuxue might not lose to Dugu Jue if they went all out in a battle. However, it was obvious that Dugu Jue had become stronger, and it was not just a little bit stronger. He could use his blade techniques with ease and familiarity.
"Ye Chen, how many moves do you think it will take to decide the winner?" Murong Qingcheng asked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "More than three hundred moves! The winner will most likely be Dugu Jue. "
"You think Dugu Jue will win?"
"The Despair Blade Intent is very difficult to control. Dugu Jue was able to restrain it and only release it at the moment of attack. This proves that his realm has improved again."
"Yes, it is a little different."
Murong Qingcheng nodded faintly.
"Bring out your killing move! Otherwise, you will lose miserably. " Dugu Jue was so powerful that even Gu Lie was starting to be affected by him. This was unimaginable in the past because Gu Lie's entrance was too domineering. He defeated Chu Zhongtian, who had one of the best defenses, with three saber strikes.
"Brother Gu, defeat him for me!"
The multicolor-robed lady shouted, feeling very unhappy.
Gu Lie was not in the mood to deal with the multicolor-robed lady. Dugu Jue's strength had exceeded his expectations. He felt like he was fighting against Liu Wujian, and he was on the defensive at every turn.
"Purgatory Chop!"
With his mind, Qi, and spirit at a high level, Gu Lie flew up and hacked down with his saber. The gray saber qi connected the sky and earth, ruthless and tyrannical.
"Good!"
Dugu Jue did not retreat or dodge. He waved the saber in his hand, and a despairing aura burst out, causing the sky to turn white.
Boom!
Dugu Jue fell down, and his feet stepped on the lake, creating ripples.
Gu Lie somersaulted a few times in the air before landing on a mountain peak.
With this move, Dugu Jue had the upper hand.
"Tyrannical 24 Saber Strikes!"
Feeling that his killing move was slightly weaker, Gu Lie stomped on the mountain peak and flashed, arriving at Dugu Jue in the blink of an eye. He waved his saber again and again, choosing to engage in close combat. Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
How could Dugu Jue be afraid of him? He waved his saber to meet the attacks.
Above the lake and in the sky, saber lights flashed everywhere. Qi exploded, and the two's figures could not be seen anymore. It was as if they had hidden in the void.
Crack!
Waves of saber qi leaked out, and the surroundings of the Nine Dragon Lake became unrecognizable.
"Such a fast exchange. The battle between two saber users is more exciting than I had imagined."
"Too powerful! If I go up, I'm afraid I won't even see their silhouettes before getting killed."
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, the multicolor-robed woman creased her brows. She originally believed that the continent had no experts and had long since declined. However, the appearance of Dugu Jue was like a sharp saber, shattering her confidence in Gu Lie. This Dugu Jue was indeed very powerful. She had no idea where he had come from.
"Saber of Despair!"
Dugu Jue's pupils turned eerily white as he slashed out with his saber. Despair Qi condensed into a line and bombarded Gu Lie along with the saber Qi.
"Not good!"
Gu Lie thought that his saber speed was fast enough, but Dugu Jue was actually a bit faster than him. He promptly raised his saber to block and lowered his center of gravity.
Clang!
Glaring sparks burst forth as Gu Lie's feet slid on the lake water, his clothes torn.
"Despair Fox!"
Dugu Jue didn't show any mercy. His saber Qi became even more vigorous as he slashed out a Demonic Fox Phantom. The Demonic Fox Phantom had a sinister appearance and densely packed sharp teeth. Exuding a dense despair Qi, it bit at Gu Lie.
"Sky Absolute Tyrannical Saber!"
Blue veins popping out on his forehead, Gu Lie furiously roared. His aura erupted fiercely, and his entire body seemed to turn into a giant as he forcefully slashed out with his saber.
Swoosh!
The mournful saber light slashed at the Demonic Fox Phantom.
Roar!
Before the Demonic Fox Phantom was slashed apart, it spat out a pale white beam of light, which struck Gu Lie's Protective Zhen Yuan. With a 'kacha' sound, Gu Lie's Protective Zhen Yuan was instantly shattered. Spurting out a mouthful of blood, he involuntarily flew back and fell on the lakeside.
Gu Lie had been defeated by Dugu Jue. From start to finish, he hadn't been able to gain the upper hand. Dugu Jue's strength shocked everyone. Even Liu Wujian faintly creased his brows, feeling that Dugu Jue wasn't easy to deal with. Others couldn't compare to him.
"Turns out he's the most powerful person on True Spirit Continent. That Sword Master of the continent only has an undeserved reputation." The multicolor-robed woman said.
"Interesting. Defeating all the geniuses of True Spirit Continent is my goal this time. But, if I were to defeat him effortlessly, it would be too boring. Seems like he's my strongest opponent."
Liu Wujian had the thought of fighting. Opponents were hard to come by, and he had always been invincible in West Ocean. It was truly boring.
