Chapter 1523: Heart-Piercing Strike

"Hahaha, the final guardian is such a joke. He actually suppressed his realm and overestimated himself. Now he knows what he's up against, right?"

"He's just asking for a beating. Someone who can reach the eighteenth level can't be weak, can they?"

"Hey, he seemed to look down on Yuan Ye. Now his face is being slapped hard, isn't it?"

…

Although they couldn't hear the conversation in the space, they could still infer Zheng Jian's attitude from his general demeanor.

That arrogance and disdain for others could be clearly felt even through the projection.

Although the geniuses outside were not fond of Ye Yuan, the fact that he had reached the eighteenth level meant he represented them in a way.

Zheng Jian could defeat Ye Yuan, even kill him, but he could not look down on him.

That would be slapping all their faces!

Driven by this strange psychology, seeing Zheng Jian get slapped in the face by Ye Yuan actually felt quite satisfying to them.

"Yuan Ye's situation seems dire. This eighteenth-level guardian is indeed powerful, nothing like those before," Batu suddenly said.

Di Fan clearly agreed, nodding: "If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Ye probably gave it his all just now! And this guardian still suppressed his realm."

Batu sighed: "I really wish I could witness this battle firsthand. This is definitely the pinnacle battle at the Demon General level."

…

After recovering to the Half-Step Return to Void realm, Zheng Jian's entire being exuded an ethereal and unpredictable aura.

"Ready to die?"

Zheng Jian sneered, his figure gradually becoming blurry.

Ye Yuan squinted slightly, and the Misty Sword Art was suddenly activated. His entire figure also vanished from the spot.

The two seemed to disappear into thin air.

"Clang, clang, clang…"

In the void, metal clashed, and occasionally a cold gleam flashed by.

One wielded the law of space, the other the law of wind; both had unfathomable movement techniques.

After recovering to Half-Step Return to Void, Zheng Jian's overall strength immediately surged significantly.

For experts like them, the impact of a single minor realm was immense.

"So fast! I can't track their movements at all!"

"So this is their true strength. Terrifying!"

"Even without sensing the law fluctuations, just their movement techniques alone could kill me!"

"I really want to know who has the upper hand now!"

…

Outside, those geniuses couldn't clearly see the battle between Ye Yuan and the other; only occasionally could they catch a blurry figure.

Such a battle made them feel oppressed.

Both at the Demon General realm, yet the difference in strength was like heaven and earth!

Batu and Di Fan both looked grave. Only at this moment did they realize that Ye Yuan's strength was truly beyond their reach.

In previous battles, Ye Yuan used the law of space, often just for an instant.

But now, Ye Yuan had pushed the law of space to its limit, his whole person seemed to be shuttling through the void.

The Dalan Six couldn't keep up with Ye Yuan's speed at all.

"I get it! Yuan Ye's sword law incorporates other laws, that's why we can't see the mystery!" Batu suddenly exclaimed, realization dawning.

But immediately, his brow furrowed again as he pondered: "But what law is it? The law of wind?"

"It's the law of space!" Di Fan suddenly spoke.

Batu's gaze sharpened, and he immediately retorted: "Impossible! The law of space is one of the two supreme laws. How could he have comprehended it?"

Di Fan glanced at him and said calmly: "Look carefully. Yuan Ye's movements are elusive and traceless, as if shuttling through the void! Only the law of space can achieve this! The guardian's movements are also very fast, though erratic, they still leave traces; it should be the law of wind!"

Di Fan had a sharp eye. The two experts pushed themselves to the limit in battle, finally allowing him to see a clue.

Batu looked closely and indeed found it as Di Fan said.

Although their figures were elusive, upon closer inspection, there were indeed slight differences.

This shock was no small matter.

"Th-this... how is this possible? This guy... is too monstrous, right?" Batu gasped.

Di Fan's expression was equally grave: "This explains why he could defeat the previous guardians! His sword seems plain, but it's just that our naked eyes can't catch it! His sword actually shuttles through the void and kills the opponent!"

"No wonder! No wonder! In fact, dealing with those before was very easy for him; he just wanted to use them to practice his sword! Hiss..."

Batu suddenly felt that the world was full of malice.

How could there be such a freak who could comprehend the law of space!

Just then, the battle between the two in the projection abruptly stopped, and their figures appeared.

Everyone's expression changed!

"Yuan Ye lost!"

"Indeed, his realm is too disadvantageous!"

"But to have come this far, he's already very impressive!"

"A freak who comprehended the law of space, his future achievements are limitless!"

…

In the projection, Ye Yuan's aura was chaotic, his body covered in wounds, clearly at the end of his strength.

In contrast, Zheng Jian was completely unharmed.

This battle seemed to have no suspense.

"You lost! I admit, you're not bad. To force me to use eighty percent of my strength, you can be proud," Zheng Jian said coldly.

Ye Yuan panted slightly: "Eighty percent? How about... you try using a hundred percent."

Ye Yuan didn't doubt Zheng Jian's words; such an arrogant person would disdain lying.

Zheng Jian frowned: "No need. As the guardian, as long as you can defeat my eighty percent strength, you pass the level. But you can't do it."

Ye Yuan grinned: "What if I insist on making you use a hundred percent?"

Zheng Jian's gaze turned cold: "Then you will die."

He was already very clear about Ye Yuan's strength.

In the previous battle, Ye Yuan had used all his skills, simultaneously employing the Sunbreaker and Misty Sword Arts, but couldn't break through Zheng Jian's sword net.

Zheng Jian's law power was too strong, and his realm was higher than Ye Yuan's; it was almost a certain loss.

"Hey, if you can kill me, go ahead! Use a hundred percent of your strength. Let me see how powerful you are, the so-called strongest disciple in the history of Purple Extreme Sect!" Ye Yuan insisted.

Zheng Jian squinted: "Have you thought it through?"

Ye Yuan held his sword horizontally and said calmly: "I have."

Zheng Jian nodded slightly: "Many geniuses die from being too clever. Apparently... you are one of them. Since you seek death, I'll send you on your way!"

With that, Zheng Jian assumed a stance, and his aura suddenly changed.

"Heart-Piercing Sword Art... Heart-Piercing Strike!" Zheng Jian said coldly.

Ye Yuan's expression changed, and he blurted out: "The state of selflessness!"
