Chu Zhongtian was one of them. The reason he was able to notice this detail was mainly because of his high defense. Therefore, he paid a lot of attention to it. However, he realized that no matter if it was Liu Wujian or Ye Chen, their endurance was way beyond his.
Liu Wujian was still fine, since he had a semi extreme rank armor and accessories, and his cultivation base was also at peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm. His protective Zhen yuan was extremely powerful, but Ye Chen only had a semi extreme rank armor, and his cultivation base was also at peak level Mid Sea of Souls Realm. Even if he had a secret art to increase his defense, his defense should still be weaker than Liu Wujian's. However, judging from the current situation, Ye Chen's endurance was way beyond Liu Wujian's. Liu Wujian was almost at his limit, while Ye Chen was still as powerful as ever.
"Even if I have a semi extreme rank armor, I don't think I can win against him."
For the school to be able to get a semi extreme rank armor for Chu Zhongtian, it had already cost a lot of manpower and resources. Semi extreme rank armor was extremely rare, and one might not be able to buy it even if one had spirit stones. Only those super auctions with countless treasures would have a chance. Therefore, the inner armor Chu Zhongtian was wearing was only a top of the upper rank armor. If he had a semi extreme rank armor, Gu Lie would not have been able to wound him at all.
Although it was only a light wound, it would not be a big deal.
However, even if he had a semi extreme rank armor and had the same power as Ye Chen, Chu Zhongtian did not have the confidence to exchange hundreds of attacks with Ye Chen. Liu Wujian was an example. Ye Chen's trump cards were far more than what they showed on the surface. If one thought that Ye Chen only had power, then one would be wrong. His scariness was in all aspects, and he had no weakness at all. If he wanted to attack, he had it, and if he wanted to defend, he had it. Even his recovery ability was a level higher than others.
The more Liu Wujian fought, the more frightened and desperate he became. Ye Chen's ferocious performance was not fake, and it could be seen from his abundant essence Qi. On the other hand, Liu Wujian had used up a lot of his essence Qi. His whole body was aching, and even his bones were groaning.
"I can't go on like this. He still has at least thirty percent Zhen yuan left. If he takes some Zhen yuan replenishing pellets, it would not be a problem for him to recover to forty percent. I cannot outlast him."
Liu Wujian's expression was gloomy as he thought to himself.
Unfortunately, he had still underestimated Ye Chen. Ye Chen had a whole bottle of semi extreme rank pellets on him, which were enough to recover his Zhen yuan to one hundred percent. Of course, one pellet would be one less, and Ye Chen would not use them on Liu Wujian. After all, he still had a dragon god medal, which stored thirty percent of his Zhen yuan, which would allow him to recover to sixty percent. He did not need to worry about running out of Zhen yuan at all.
Boom!
After another exchange, Liu Wujian felt a sweetness in his throat. He could not help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, but he forcefully suppressed it.
"Increase the distance!"
Liu Wujian did not want to exchange another attack with Ye Chen at such a close distance. He was sure that he would definitely spurt out blood and suffer from severe injuries.
Shoo!
As his figure turned, Liu Wujian retreated in a curve. Each time he reached a turning point, he would leave behind a clear human figure. However, this figure would not even last for a second before it would be pierced through by the light ripple, disappearing into thin air. It would almost injure Liu Wujian's body.
"Eh? Such a marvelous movement art! "
Ye Chen could tell that Liu Wujian would be able to increase his speed at each turning point and escape first, causing his attack to miss. This way, there was no pattern at all, unless he could determine the opponent's retreating route and speed. However, even if he could, it would be useless, since his attack speed would only be slightly faster than the opponent's retreating speed, and he would not be able to catch it unless he used his defensive sword art.
"Let's see what's going on first!"
To be honest, Ye Chen did not want to expose his defensive sword art until the last moment. Liu Wujian was the only one who could be evenly matched with him, which was something that even Dugu Jue could not compare with. Ye Chen had a premonition that his opponent might have a trump card that he would not expose easily, just like him.
Ye Chen's guess was right. Liu Wujian did have a trump card, but he would not use it unless it was the most crucial moment. Firstly, there was no opponent worthy of him using his trump card. Secondly, once his trump card was exposed, it would no longer be a trump card. All his strength would be deduced by others, and there would be no secrets to speak of. This was not what Liu Wujian wanted to see.
But now, he had no choice but to use his trump card. Ye Chen's strength was beyond his expectations. If he continued to fight, the possibility of him losing was very high. He could not tolerate losing to Ye Chen. Therefore, he had to expose his trump card. There was no other choice.
After retreating for about ten miles, Liu Wujian stopped and stood steadily at the edge of the hurricane.
Seeing that Ye Chen did not chase after him, Liu Wujian took a few rapid breaths, suppressing his boiling qi and blood and chaotic Zhen Yuan.
"Ye Chen, you should be honored. You are the first person in many years who could force me to use my strongest trump card. No one else is worthy."
Liu Wujian said in shock.
"What? Liu Wujian still has a trump card? Is he going to let us live? "
"This is too exaggerated. The previous battles were already earth-shattering. Now that he has used his strongest trump card, it would be even worse. This time, Ye Chen is in danger. His trump card is not as good as his!"
When two people with similar strength could not decide the winner, they could only use their trump cards to decide the winner. It could be said that the trump card was every warrior's last resort, and they could not afford to lose it. This was also the reason why they would not easily expose their trump cards. Once they were exposed, there would be no more secrets left.
"Liu Wujian still has a trump card. Does Ye Chen have a trump card? Could it be the Defensive Sword Art? "
Situ Hao looked at Ye Chen.
"It's not possible. Even if Ye Chen had trained the Defensive Sword Art to the third level, it would not be that powerful. His previous strength had already surpassed the third level of the Defensive Sword Art. Unless he could train to the legendary Seventy-two Simultaneous Swords Realm, but the time is too short. Within two years, it would be impossible for him to train to the Seventy-two Simultaneous Swords Realm. In history, that legendary swordsman who had reached this realm had spent dozens of years to do so. What could he do in two years?"
He subconsciously thought that Ye Chen's trump card was the Defensive Sword Art. But after thinking about it, he felt that the third level of the Defensive Sword Art was not very useful. The two's battle strength was too high, and the Defensive Sword Art was not useful at all.
"You should be honored that you could last until now. Next, I will use my trump card to fight against yours."
With Liu Wujian's current strength, he naturally could not force Ye Chen to use the Defensive Sword Art. However, once the opponent showed his trump card, Ye Chen would have to use it. He did not think that the opponent's trump card was not threatening at all. It might have the power to wound him badly.
"Ye Chen also has a trump card?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they could not say a word.
No matter who won or lost, everyone was convinced by Ye Chen. The battle strength that Ye Chen had shown was definitely at the level of a Sword Master. It could be said that some people had doubted Ye Chen's title of Sword Master before. After all, it was made up by the Knowledge Pavilion, and it was different from seeing it with their own eyes. But now, they did not doubt it at all. On the contrary, if someone doubted it, they would definitely refute it.
The title of Sword Master in the continent belonged to Ye Chen.
Phew!
Dugu Jue let out a long breath, and his tense nerves relaxed.
"I am not a match for them now. There is no need to fight."
Not knowing that the two still had trump cards, although Dugu Jue did not think that he would win, he still had a chance.
"Ye Chen, do not disappoint me!"
Between Liu Wujian and Ye Chen, Dugu Jue would naturally lean towards Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen was also a sword artist of the continent, while Liu Wujian was from the West Ocean. The purpose of this trip was to beat all of the martial geniuses of the continent and look down on all of them.
Liu Wujian's expression changed, and he looked serious again.
"Alright! I did not expect that you would be like me, still having trump cards. But, once I use my secret sword, even I will not be able to control myself. By then, I might kill you. Don't blame me for being cruel."
Liu Wujian was not lying. He indeed could not control his secret sword completely. Most importantly, Ye Chen was too powerful. He was afraid that if he held back, he might lose.
"Don't worry! Once I use my defensive sword spell, I might be able to kill you as well. Let's fight with everything we have."
Ye Chen put away his Thunder Disaster Sword, and there was no sword in his hands.
"Is it really the defensive sword spell?"
Situ Hao's eyes were wide open as he stared at Ye Chen. He would like to see how different Ye Chen's defensive sword spell was from his.
The two top sword masters stood in the air, facing each other. Outside, the tornado was still roaring. One was quiet, while the other was moving. The whole world seemed to have stopped.
Boom! Boom!
The two rushed toward each other at the same time. That horrifying qi explosion was something that even the tornado could not cover up.
"Secret Sword – Three Sky Sword Qi!"
"Defensive Sword Spell – Three Sword Attacks!"
It was unknown if it was a coincidence, but the two's super powerful killing attacks were all related to the word 'three'. Liu Wujian's Three Sky Sword Qi was three different colored sword qi: green, blue, and red. Each of them contained a different profound. The green sword qi contained the profound of wind, the blue one contained the profound of water, and the red one contained the profound of blood. Do not look down on these three sword qi, as they were not only profound martial arts, but also secret arts. Normally, secret arts would not contain pure profound. Once they did, their power would increase exponentially.
The three different colored sword qi attacked toward Ye Chen, full of killing power.
At the same time, the gold sword on Ye Chen's back had also taken out of its scabbard. It shook in the air and split into two Zhen yuan gold swords. Three gold swords shot out toward the three sword qi. Pooh!
Pooh!
The green sword qi and the red sword qi exploded and were shattered by the Zhen yuan gold sword. The blue sword qi in the middle could not even withstand a single attack from the original gold sword. It turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared without even making a sound.
"What? Not good!"
Liu Wujian's eyes popped out. The Three Sky Sword Qi that he had been so confident in had been destroyed by Ye Chen's three sword attacks. How could he not be shocked?
Without any other thoughts, Liu Wujian's next thought was to focus on defense. He did not believe that his two layers of defense would not be able to block out the three sword attacks that had been weakened by a lot.
Liu Wujian's two layers of defense were indeed extremely powerful. After breaking through the semi extreme rank accessory's dark blue layer, the Zhen yuan gold sword disappeared. However, the original gold sword's power was three times that of the Zhen yuan gold sword, which was way more powerful.
Swoosh!
The first layer of defense had been pierced through, and so had the second layer. The original gold sword turned into a beam of gold light, shooting toward Liu Wujian's neck.
At the moment of life and death, Liu Wujian's neck twisted, and the gold sword brushed past it without touching him at all. But, in the next second, a huge amount of blood poured out of his neck. His main artery had been cut open by the sword qi, and the blood would not stop flowing out.
Ye Chen's defensive sword spell had already reached beyond the Sea of Souls Realm.
