"Rumble!"
The terrifying sword energy was like a thunderbolt. The dazzling light was so blinding that everyone present had to close their eyes.
When the lightning dissipated, a huge crater appeared on the martial stage. The stone slabs with runes on them were all shattered and the insides were charred black.
Ye Tianze had already retreated to the edge of the martial stage. This was the first time he had retreated since arriving at the third peak.
Gao Cainyun stood in the middle of the martial stage like a lightning goddess. This caused an uproar in the entire Heavenly Dragon Sacred Territory.
"He actually retreated. He never retreated in the previous battles," said an elder.
"It seems that the difference in strength between him and the top three Gao Cainyun is still very large. After all, there are seven small realms between them."
"That's right. Gao Cainyun is using lightning spiritual energy. Although Ye Tianze is using wind and fire spiritual energy to the extreme, the difference in quantity and quality is still very obvious."
"He's finally going to lose. If this continues, the various peaks of the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Territory will probably lose confidence."
However, the top ten peak masters and elders did not think so. Ye Tianze retreated too calmly, without the slightest bit of panic.
It was just that Ye Tianze had been going against the strongest attacks and facing difficulties, giving them the illusion that Ye Tianze was going to lose once he retreated.
Even Gao Cainyun herself had this feeling. When she was fighting with Ye Tianze, she had felt the tenacity to become stronger in the face of adversity.
Furthermore, she discovered that her lightning spiritual energy had not completely invaded Ye Tianze's body. Naturally, it could not cause too much damage.
On the surface of Ye Tianze's body, there was a faint layer of wind and fire spiritual energy.
Not only did Gao Cainyun not relax, she became even more serious. This was because Ye Tianze had actually avoided her strongest attack by retreating.
Originally, she had planned to use force to form an overwhelming force to defeat Ye Tianze in the shortest amount of time and not give him the chance to continue fighting.
However, she didn't expect that Ye Tianze would see through her intentions in an instant and choose to avoid the sharp edge of the spear.
Sure enough, the moment her sword fell, Ye Tianze gathered wind and fire spiritual power. Using the wind to support the fire, he unleashed the Overlapping Waves Spear Strike.
The terrifying spear aura caused the fire spiritual energy that was originally strengthened by the wind to become even more terrifying. The flames turned blood-red.
The long spear turned into a fire dragon and surged forward. It was clearly a straight thrust, but Gao Cenyun felt as if the long spear was coming from all directions.
No matter which position she defended from, there was no way she could avoid it.
Clang!
The Lightning Sword collided with the Fire Spear. The Fire Spiritual Energy and Lightning Spiritual Energy that had been strengthened twice instantly blended together and then exploded.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
After three or four consecutive exchanges, the Fire and Lightning Spiritual Energies had reached the pinnacle. From the previous suppression, they were now evenly matched.
"How is this possible? Why did it become like this again?" The people present were shocked.
"The retreat just now was not because he was not strong enough, but because he disrupted Gao Cenyun's plan. He used the gap between Gao Cenyun's spiritual energy to counterattack. This Ye is too terrifying. He even grasped this kind of detail and calculated it perfectly!" An elder explained.
The Peak Leaders in the top ten smiled wryly. Of course, they had also seen through the trick. However, compared to them, Gao Cenyun's Thunder Spiritual Energy had the upper hand. Furthermore, there was a gap of seven stages between them, which was why Ye Tianze was not able to suppress Gao Cenyun.
At their level of battle, any small detail was the key to the battle. The slightest carelessness could lead to defeat.
If they were on the battlefield and engaged in a life and death battle, they might have died long ago.
It was Ye Tianze who could control it freely. Otherwise, even if they did not die, they would lose a layer of skin.
The battle quickly became white-hot. Gao Cenyun's swordsmanship, under the stimulation of the Lightning Spiritual Energy, actually gave birth to a scene of the earth rejuvenating and all things recovering.
When all things recovered, they would definitely be full of vitality. Therefore, her Lightning Spiritual Energy did not run out of energy.
As for Ye Tianze, with the help of the wind and the fire, it was like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. He was not suppressed at all.
"If this battle continues, I'm afraid that the two of them will not be able to determine the winner until dawn."
"Ye has already broken through sixty-nine peaks. If he takes down the third peak, he will have seventy peaks. The time now is not enough for him to challenge the first two peaks in one day."
"If he still has his obsession, I'm afraid that the one who should be anxious now is Ye. If Gao Cenyun continues to suppress him, no matter how stable Ye's mentality is, I'm afraid that he will also be anxious."
Both of them had used their spiritual energy to the extreme. The Lightning Spiritual Energy itself contained the power of destruction, so its speed was naturally not slow.
However, Ye Tianze's wind and fire spiritual energy, one represented speed and the other represented destruction. Under the support of the two, he could still hold on for a few hundred rounds.
Look at the "Positive P Version"/Chapter X/Section H5
However, unbeknownst to them, the pressure actually did not lie with Ye Tianze right now. It was the exact opposite. The pressure lay with Gao Cenyun.
After all, Ye Tianze's cultivation was lower than hers in the first place, and he was multitasking, practising two types of spiritual energy at the same time. That went without saying.
Ye Tianze had even killed his way from Qingyang peak to Misty peak early in the morning. He had only rested for four hours in between.
Only because of that did she manage to reach a stalemate with Ye Tianze. If any other peak lord were in Ye Tianze's position, they would have been crushed by her long ago.
"When the spring thunder falls, all things grow. You should call this the Spring Thunder Swordsmanship, right?" Ye Tianze suddenly said.
Gao Cenyun was taken aback, but her movements did not slow down. She did indeed practise the Spring Thunder Swordsmanship.
It was also a super-first-rate martial art, but she had already reached the great perfection of it, yet she was unable to break through to the apex even after so long.
"Your swordsmanship can become even more powerful. Combined with the spiritual energy of thunder, you can unleash even more terrifying power. However, you care too much about each move. The true apex is to enter a state of selflessness at any time and in any environment. You don't need to use your moves against your enemy, only using the most useful moves," Ye Tianze said.
"I don't need you to teach me!" Gao Cenyun called out. The spiritual energy of thunder became even more terrifying.
"If this continues, it'll be far too difficult to determine the victor. Why don't you try following what I say?" Ye Tianze smiled.
This made Gao Cenyun rather annoyed. She was the lord of the third-ranked Misty peak after all. How could she let someone from the Nameless peak teach her swordsmanship?
"This kid really is scheming. He clearly knows it's impossible for Cenyun to listen to him, yet he just has to say these things to disturb her," the middle-aged woman said exasperatedly.
Their conversation was basically drowned out by the terrifying clashes of spiritual energy. Aside from a few people, basically no one could hear them clearly.
Qiu Qianshan did not find anything wrong with this, as this was also a part of the path of slaughter. On the battlefield, the enemy would not go easy on you, so you obviously had to use everything you had.
