Chapter 2602: The Act, Can't Keep It Up!

The confrontation between two supreme powerhouses made everyone's breath quicken.

One was an established supreme, the once Blade God who had pulled He Yunxiang off his throne!

The other was a newly crowned king, who had taken down the entire Huayang City with a single sword!

The direction their battle would take tugged at everyone's nerves.

"Back then, He Yunxiang and Zhangsun Xingyu fought three hundred rounds before barely deciding the outcome! Now, Zhangsun Xingyu defeated him with a single light palm strike—they're no longer on the same level!"

"After ten years of cultivation, Zhangsun Xingyu has been reborn!"

"No matter how formidable this kid is, he can't possibly be a match for Zhangsun Xingyu!"

…

The brilliance of that palm strike immediately made everyone realize how terrifying Zhangsun Xingyu was.

Although Ye Yuan was powerful, he couldn't reach Zhangsun Xingyu's level.

After all, in the previous battle, Ye Yuan had barely won against six opponents.

Zhangsun Xingyu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, "Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'll only strike once with my blade. If you can block it and survive, I, Zhangsun Xingyu, will grant you a whole corpse!"

His words were full of contempt.

In his view, Ye Yuan couldn't possibly block his strike.

Even if he did, he would be gravely wounded and near death.

Then, he would grant him death!

Everyone's expression tightened as they felt Zhangsun Xingyu's killing intent.

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said calmly, "I'll take that strike! If it can wound me, I'll grant you a whole corpse!"

Hiss…

Overwhelming!

Their words were already filled with the clash of blades.

Zhangsun Xingyu sneered, "You sect disciples truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Fine, since you're bent on seeking death, I'll send you on your way!"

Before his words faded, Zhangsun Xingyu moved!

With a single step, his blade intent soared to the heavens!

Within this fierce blade intent, other laws were interwoven.

The Law of Life!

The Law of Death!

These two laws merged perfectly with Zhangsun Xingyu's blade intent!

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Forced by this blade intent, they all retreated involuntarily.

They couldn't withstand this blade intent!

Even He Yunxiang and Di Xing couldn't bear it!

He Yunxiang's face first showed shock, then a bitter smile.

"I never thought that in ten years, his Life-Death Blade Intent would have reached such perfection! The gap between him and me is like heaven and earth! It seems I bet wrong this time!" He Yunxiang said bitterly.

Di Xing exclaimed, "I didn't expect Zhangsun Xingyu's talent to be so formidable! It seems that even if that kid has hidden tricks, he can't possibly be his match. Moreover, Zhangsun Xingyu is a minor realm higher!"

He Yunxiang said firmly, "Within three steps, if he doesn't strike, he'll never have another chance! This strike will kill him!"

Di Xing nodded slightly in agreement.

Because Zhangsun Xingyu was building momentum!

Once the blade momentum was complete, it would have the power to destroy the heavens!

Ye Yuan absolutely couldn't block it!

As he spoke, Zhangsun Xingyu took another step, and his blade intent rose again!

This time, it doubled!

Under the pressure of this blade intent, everyone retreated again and again!

Everyone's face turned extremely solemn.

Only Ye Yuan stood unmoved!

As if he couldn't feel this blade intent, he made no move to draw his sword, simply watching Zhangsun Xingyu quietly.

He Yunxiang shook his head, "This kid is still too inexperienced! If he doesn't strike now, he'll never have another chance!"

Di Xing said, "Idiot, what is he thinking? If he doesn't strike now, is he waiting for the blade momentum to reach its peak?"

Zhangsun Xingyu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, "Kid, you have good composure! But if I take this last step, you'll have no chance of survival! Are you sure you want to wait?"

He was extremely confident in his blade momentum. Though he didn't intend to go all out, three steps of momentum were enough to kill Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan just smiled faintly, "If I don't let you put on a full show, you won't be satisfied. Come on!"

Zhangsun Xingyu's face darkened, and killing intent surged!

This kid was asking for a beating like no other!

Even He Yunxiang and the others were dumbfounded.

Having witnessed Zhangsun Xingyu's heaven-defying combat power, this guy could still be so cheeky?

Could he really have some hidden trump card?

But after thinking it over, He Yunxiang dismissed the idea.

Zhangsun Xingyu's success came not only from countless life-and-death battles but also from his extremely monstrous talent, leading to his current achievement.

Ye Yuan, on the other hand, was likely a talent-type powerhouse.

When it came to combat experience, Zhangsun Xingyu was ten times better than him!

So, even if their talents were equal, Ye Yuan could never be a match for Zhangsun Xingyu!

Just as everyone was shocked by Ye Yuan's ignorance, Zhangsun Xingyu took the third step!

This third step doubled the momentum again from the second step!

Now, the blade intent was condensed into substance, terrifyingly powerful.

Zhangsun Xingyu snorted coldly, "Kid, today I'll use my blade to teach you that the price of arrogance is death!"

With that, Zhangsun Xingyu produced a blade from somewhere and struck!

This strike was silent!

Everything seemed to freeze!

Everyone felt a sense of life-and-death reincarnation lingering in their hearts.

Although the blade intent wasn't directed at them, they were greatly affected.

It was as if they died and were reborn, then died again.

The fear of hovering between life and death nearly suffocated them.

And Ye Yuan, at the center of the storm, bore unimaginable pressure.

However, the moment Zhangsun Xingyu struck, Ye Yuan's body finally began to change.

"Qiankun... Sword Formation!"

Three laws instantly swirled around Ye Yuan.

Streams of sword light became ethereal and elusive.

Around Ye Yuan, a domain formed!

Not sword intent, but a sword formation condensed from the fusion of three laws!

Zhangsun Xingyu was just feeling pleased when he saw this change and his expression shifted dramatically.

But by then, it was too late to withdraw his blade.

He also had no intention of withdrawing!

Boom!

The Life-Death Blade Intent clashed with the Qiankun Sword Formation, unleashing a tremendous energy that sent everyone flying.

Many were even ground into mincemeat by the scattered sword and blade intents.

This strike was so powerful!

Ye Yuan and Zhangsun Xingyu each staggered back dozens of steps before barely steadying themselves.

They were evenly matched!

Zhangsun Xingyu looked at Ye Yuan in shock and exclaimed, "Sword Dao Law! Space Law! Array Dao Law! Kid, you've hidden yourself well!"

Ye Yuan just smiled, "It's not that I hide well, but no one has been able to force out my full strength. You did, but your act can't go on. Too bad you didn't wound me, so I won't grant you a whole corpse!"

Zhangsun Xingyu's face darkened, his gaze full of coldness.

Meanwhile, He Yunxiang and the others were filled with shock!

No one had expected Ye Yuan's hidden strength to be so formidable!
