Chapter 1388: Star-Slashing!

The whole arena erupted!

A small black dot on the horizon rapidly approached. Who else could it be but Ye Yuan?

"Heavens! Has he broken through to the Divine Lord realm? Why can he fly in the sky?"

"Are you out of your mind? A mid-Dongxuan breaking through to Divine Lord in three years?"

"If he were a Divine Lord, the pressure would be far greater!"

"Look at his feet! Flying... flying on a sword?"

As the black dot drew near, people finally saw Ye Yuan clearly.

Beneath his feet, he was stepping on a sword!

Ye Yuan was flying on his sword!

Ye Yuan approached at breakneck speed, and the closer he got, the more powerful his aura became.

"This guy is breaking through!"

"Breaking through while flying on a sword... this..."

People were utterly bewildered. Ye Yuan's entrance was too shocking.

In the crowd, the chubby guy muttered discontentedly, "This guy really knows how to show off. What a badass entrance!"

He looked at the female disciples nearby, their faces full of adoration, and felt extremely envious.

Ye Yuan's entrance was simply too flashy.

As he flew, he madly devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, churning the primal force around the entire arena into chaos.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Yuan turned into a streak of light and finally stopped opposite Qin Shao.

At this moment, Ye Yuan's cultivation base had firmly settled at late Dongxuan.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Ye Yuan put away his Zhuxie Sword and said to Qin Shao.

Qin Shao's expression darkened, and he looked at Ye Yuan with a gaze full of wariness.

There were countless sword cultivators in the world, but fewer than one in a million could achieve sword flight.

Those who could do so all had an extremely profound understanding of the sword way.

Clearly, Ye Yuan's attainments in the sword way were already unfathomable!

"I haven't waited long. Let's begin!"

Despite his wariness, Ye Yuan's appearance only stirred Qin Shao's fighting spirit even more.

"Hold on!" Qin Nantian shouted.

Tong Shou frowned and said, "Patriarch Nantian, is there a problem?"

Qin Nantian said, "Ye Yuan has learned sword flight. This battle is unfair!"

"Hey, Patriarch Qin, I don't understand your words. Sword flight is something Ye Yuan comprehended; it's not cheating. How is it unfair?" Chi Fang interjected inopportunely.

Indeed, for martial artists below the Divine Lord realm in the Tongtian Realm, although their combat power was formidable, their inability to fly greatly limited their fighting ability.

Once a martial artist could soar through the skies and burrow into the earth, they had great convenience in combat range and evading the opponent's moves.

Now that Ye Yuan could fly on his sword, he was almost in an invincible position.

No matter how fast Qin Shao's spellcasting was, it couldn't outpace Ye Yuan's sword flight.

Qin Nantian hadn't expected Ye Yuan to spring such a big surprise at the last moment, which immediately shattered his previous confidence.

Qin Nantian snorted coldly and said, "If Ye Yuan, lacking strength, keeps using sword flight to roam around, what then? Would this life-and-death battle go on endlessly? Elder Tong, I request that Ye Yuan be prohibited from using sword flight!"

Chi Fang immediately retorted, "A life-and-death battle inherently has no restrictions on means. As long as it's one's true strength, no one can complain! Ye Yuan spent three years comprehending sword flight, and you say it's unfair? What kind of logic is that? Moreover, Ye Yuan's cultivation is far inferior to Qin Shao's! You might as well have Ye Yuan stick his neck out and let Qin Shao chop it off."

The two argued, each refusing to yield.

Elder Tong was caught in a dilemma.

After thinking, he said, "Sword flight has indeed never appeared in a life-and-death battle. In principle, sword flight is Ye Yuan's own strength, so there's no reason to restrict it. However, Patriarch Qin's concerns are not without merit. How about this: I will report this matter to the Grand Elder and let him decide."

"No need! I will only strike once. If he can block it, I will admit defeat and kill myself!"

At that moment, Ye Yuan's voice rang out.

Ye Yuan's words immediately caused a huge stir.

Qin Nantian's expression stiffened, then he showed great joy.

Chi Fang's expression also stiffened, but his brows furrowed deeply.

"No way, is Ye Yuan too arrogant? Even if he can fly on a sword, his cultivation is still far inferior to Qin Shao's."

"Whether in cultivation or law comprehension, Qin Shao has reached the limit of the Dongxuan realm. For Ye Yuan to defeat him, wouldn't he need strength at the Kuitian realm?"

"Are you kidding? Even if he comprehended sword flight, he can't possibly have Kuitian realm strength, right?"

...

In everyone's eyes, Ye Yuan's words were the height of arrogance.

Everyone knew Qin Shao's strength; he was arguably the strongest below the Kuitian realm.

Ye Yuan's boast was too outrageous.

But Ye Yuan really wasn't trying to show off. He had only comprehended one move!

He had great confidence in this move. If even this move couldn't deal with Qin Shao, he could only accept his fate.

"In that case, let's begin!" After a moment of surprise, Elder Tong spoke.

"Only one strike? It seems you have great confidence in this strike. Then I won't hold back!"

Before his words faded, Qin Shao's powerful aura exploded. The pressure of a half-step Kuitian realm crushed toward Ye Yuan from all directions.

"Clang!"

The long sword was drawn, cold light shining in all directions!

"It's Taiyin Sword Void! Qin Shao has been cultivating Taiyin Sword Void all along! Such powerful law force!"

"Ye Yuan is in big trouble now! He probably never dreamed that Qin Shao had long cultivated one of the six town-fu ultimate techniques, Taiyin Sword Void!"

"Heh heh, the arrogant are punished by heaven! A mere late Dongxuan dares to tell Qin Shao he'll only strike once! I want to see how he blocks this strike!"

...

As soon as Qin Shao made his move, everyone understood.

Like Taiyi True Gang Fist, Taiyin Sword Void was one of the six town-fu ultimate techniques of Wumeng Academy, extremely powerful!

From his move, it was clear that Taiyin Sword Void had already reached the first level of great perfection!

In an instant, sword aura crisscrossed the entire arena, and the powerful sword way law crushed toward Ye Yuan.

"Excellent sword! You didn't disappoint me by accepting this battle, Qin Shao. Now, let me show you the Chaos Heaven-Opening Sword Technique I created in the Sword Grave!"

Seeing Qin Shao's formidable strength, Ye Yuan's fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

Ye Yuan had comprehended the sword in the Sword Grave for five years. During those five years, countless cuts were made on his body, countless injuries he suffered, and immense pain he endured.

Now, he had finally created his own sword technique!

Ye Yuan named it—Chaos Heaven-Opening Sword Technique!

Zhuxie emerged, and Ye Yuan pointed his sword to the sky. A sharp sword aura shot up into the heavens!

From Ye Yuan's mouth, two words faintly emerged: "Slash... Star!"
