"Be careful," Ye Futian reminded softly . The cultivators from Sword Saint Villa looked really strong . All the people who were still there were certainly very powerful .
Ye Wuchen nodded gently, after which he stepped forward and walked to the center of the arena . Many people stared at his single arm, as well as the sword he was carrying on his back . Was he a one-armed swordsman? Nobody knew what outstanding characteristics he had that had allowed him to stay until this moment .
"Yan Nan, grade eight noble from Sword Saint Villa . "
"Ye Wuchen, grade nine noble . "
"Handicapped first . " Yan Nan gestured at Ye Wuchen, signaling him to attack first, but the word "handicapped" was particularly grating . The people around Yan Nan all stared at him in surprise . With his status, he should not be humiliating another cultivator in such a way, unless there was some resentment between the two of them .
The people from Dawn Road knew the exact reason . Clearly, Yan Nan who was from Sword Saint Villa was extremely unhappy that Ye Wuchen and Ye Futian had obtained the relic from Flying Sword City . It should be a place for him to cultivate instead . In his opinion, Ye Wuchen was an unknown one-armed person . What did Ye Wuchen have that had allowed him to inherit the relic that was supposed to belong to Sword Saint Villa?
In reality, Yan Nan was indeed thinking this . A handicapped cultivator had inherited the relic that originally belonged to him and his clan mates . How humiliating…
The faces of Ye Futian and Yu Sheng darkened at once and a cold beam of light flashed across their eyes . A faint, freezing aura was even emitted from Ye Futian's body . On the other hand, Yu Sheng clenched his fists tightly, producing a crackling sound .
Handicapped?
They did not forget how Ye Wuchen's other arm was cut off .
Ye Wuchen's pupils contracted and he glanced at Yan Nan, but he did not seem to have an intense reaction . In fact, he was even calmer than Ye Futian and Yu Sheng . He had already accepted the fact that he was one-armed a long time ago . Cultivators were supposed to cultivate their mentality, and his arm was already not too important to him . Ye Wuchen still vividly remembered his master's words; it was more important for him as a swordsman to have a clear focus .
Sword Will started to flow around Ye Wuchen and his entire body seemed to have turned into a sword itself . A dazzling radiance erupted and thousands of swords circled around him, awaiting their orders . Together, they produced a loud clanking .
Ye Wuchen pointed his finger forward . Right away, the thousands of swords charged towards Yan Nan like rain .
Yan Nan stared at Ye Wuchen's action coldly . Was Ye Wuchen trying to show off his sword skills before him?
Behind Yan Nan, a beam of light bloomed and a huge sword seemed to have appeared . Immediately, a vast amount of Sword Will swept over and converged together . The huge sword solidified gradually and a terrifying storm made from Sword Qi emerged around it . The huge sword vibrated, after which it struck forward as if it had been drawn out of its sheath .
Nine Swords of the Celestials, Edgeless Great Sword .
Instantly, the huge sword struck out, even the incoming Sword Qi from Ye Wuchen seemed to have stopped flowing . Then, the Sword Will all bypassed the huge sword .
Both of them were swordsmen . However, Yan Nan was a grade eight noble, while Ye Wuchen was only grade nine . With a higher level, Yan Nan's Sword Will was purer and more powerful, and certainly much stronger than an ordinary swordsman . However, the Sword Qi coming from Ye Wuchen did not stop . Instead, the Sword Qi which filled the sky only charged over wildly . He had obtained the inheritance of a sage from the Holy Zhi Palace in Flying Sword City, so he was clearly stronger .
Suddenly, the Sword Will in the sky turned into many swords in an orderly manner . Then, they unified and actually charged towards the same place, colliding with the light screen around the incoming huge sword .
An ear-piercing noise erupted and everyone stared attentively at the battlefield . Sword Qi blotted out the sky, producing a spectacular sight . Gradually, many cracks appeared on the light screen around the huge sword, after which it cracked open . An endless amount of Sword Will pierced towards the huge sword . In the end, even the edgeless great sword had countless cracks on it and it eventually broke into pieces, dissipating into nothingness .
Yan Nan glanced coldly at Ye Wuchen . He is not too weak, he thought . Then, Yan Nan flashed forward and passed through the endless Sword Will like a sharp sword himself . He appeared in the sky, and another sword appeared behind him . The sword penetrated across the air like a bolt of lightning, crushing the Sword Qi in its path . With a speed that was too fast to be seen by the naked eye, the sword charged towards Ye Wuchen's forehead directly .
Many people held their breaths . The sword was so fast that they could hardly see anything . It was more like a beam of light .
It was the Sword of Light in the Nine Swords of the Celestials .
At the moment, a brilliant wave of Sword Will emerged from in between Ye Wuchen's eyebrows, after which the powerful Sword Will turned into a sharp sword, shooting forward . The two lightning-like beams of light crashed into each other . Ye Wuchen backed off, but suddenly, he felt an intense sense of danger .
Ye Wuchen's body suddenly moved to the right, leaving an afterimage behind . Following a soft thud, Ye Wuchen's left sleeve was cut into two directly . A blade of light flashed across and was hardly visible to the eyes .
So close! Everyone stared at the arena .
"The Nine Swords of the Celestials from Sword Saint Villa . This is the Swords of Light and Darkness . The Swords of Light are exposed, while the Swords of Darkness are hidden . I didn't expect Yan Nan to be skilled in this technique . It is quite rare," looking at the scene, an important figure from the Holy Zhi Palace praised .
"You should be grateful that you're handicapped," Yan Nan said . Ye Wuchen looked at the sleeve that had been cut into two, and it was empty inside .
"Wuchen!" Ye Futian was somewhat anxious . He knew Ye Wuchen very well . Due to his personality, Ye Wuchen would not admit defeat easily when it came to swordsmanship . He would rather be severely injured than admit defeat . Moreover, Yan Nan was a dangerous person .
At the moment, Ye Wuchen looked at Yan Nan, who extended his finger . Realizing that there was some Sword Will flowing around the tip of Yan Nan's finger, Ye Wuchen closed his eyes .
The Swords of Light could be seen, but the Swords of Darkness were hard to block . With his understanding of swordsmanship, Ye Wuchen should not have missed that out, but he did not manage to detect the Sword of Darkness at all . This meant that the Sword of Darkness was really powerful . Since his eyes were useless here, Ye Wuchen had decided to close them .
"It seems like you don't even want your eyes," Yan Nan sneered . However, suddenly, he saw Ye Wuchen who was showered in endless Sword Qi move, charging towards him like a sharp sword .
Yan Nan pointed his finger at the sky . At once, an infinite amount of Sword Qi converged into a huge sword which fell down from the sky . It struck towards Ye Wuchen, attempting to crush everything in its path .
The Sword Qi around Ye Wuchen danced wildly and swept towards the sky . However, Yan Nan also stepped forward, walking towards Ye Wuchen .
A battle between two swordsmen was always the most dangerous . In just one strike, one of them could be killed . In addition, melee combat between two swordsmen would be several times more dangerous . However, Ye Wuchen was fearless, so Yan Nan would not be scared as well .
The Sword Qi above Ye Wuchen collided wildly with the huge sword . On the other hand, many swords appeared in front of Yan Nan . As he pointed his finger forward, the Swords of Light were activated . Every single sword turned into a beam of light, charging towards Ye Wuchen .
Ye Wuchen similarly pointed his finger forward . Right away, several sword veils appeared before him and converged into one . Then, it turned into nine beams of Sword Qi, striking towards the Swords of Light . They collided in midair . However, Ye Wuchen felt an intense sense of danger again, just like a while ago . At the moment, Ye Wuchen was clearly focused and time seemed to have slowed down for him . He could feel intense fluctuations coming from the Swords of Darkness in several places before him . This time, it was not just one sword . Instead, there were three beams of Sword Qi coming from three different directions, blocking all possible paths to dodge .
Suddenly, a brilliant radiance erupted from Ye Wuchen . A bright blade of light appeared above his sword body as he dashed forward . At the moment, his body had combined with his sword, his sword had combined with his will, and his will had combined with his heart .
Buzz . . . The three terrifying Swords of Darkness brushed past Ye Wuchen's body, after which they actually collided with each other, sending out a horrifying force . On the other hand, Ye Wuchen had managed to close the distance between him and Yan Nan .
"He dodged it . " The powerful cultivators all looked at Ye Wuchen in surprise . With their levels, they could clearly see what had happened in the arena .
Yan Nan frowned, but he did not seem to be too bothered . There was still a frightening power on his fingertip . However, out of a sudden, Ye Wuchen who was before him opened his eyes, his eyes as bright as the blade of a sword . In the next instant, Yan Nan saw an appalling sharp sword strike towards his throat . He sneered, after which his palm turned into a sword and swept out . A sharp noise was produced, but his attack somehow missed . Then, an intense feeling of danger befell Yan Nan and his heart pounded fiercely . This was an Illusory Sword Technique .
Stepping in the air, Yan Nan retreated backward, and a strong wave of Sword Will appeared before him, protecting him . Then, he felt a sharp sword pierce towards him . If he was slightly slower, his throat would have been slit open .
The sword that he had seen was actually illusory . The real fatal blow came slower than what he had seen .
Suddenly, Yan Nan saw another two blades of light charging towards him . Just as he was thinking for a strategy, he felt another sense of danger . He sped up and his body seemed to have turned into a sword . However, instead of moving forward, he was trying to back away .
Yan Nan formed a sword seal with his hands and a powerful sword veil appeared before him . Ye Wuchen's attack finally arrived, and the second strike was faster than what Yan Nan had seen . It was an Illusory Sword Technique . Whatever Yan Nan was seeing was all illusory .
Indeed, Heavenly Eyes Sword Technique could be considered as an Illusory Sword Technique . Moreover, Ye Wuchen had merged his Heavenly Eyes Sword Technique with his understanding of swordsmanship, fusing it with the aggressive technique that he had obtained from the relic . At the moment, thousands of waves of Sword Qi charged out . This was the Sword of Chaos . Yan Nan's face turned pale; he did not know which swords were real and which were illusory .
Yan Nan put his hands together and thousands of swords gathered around him . He no longer attempted to attack and could only defend, guarding his body with Sword Qi . Immediately, his body was enveloped in a sword veil .
Suddenly, Ye Wuchen appeared before him . The one-armed swordsman strolled in the air and an endless amount of Sword Qi in the sky converged towards him, growing in strength as time passed . Everyone could only see countless swords floating around Ye Wuchen, producing a clanking sound . In the sky, more and more swords gathered around him .
"Strike!" Ye Wuchen pointed his finger forward . At once, an infinite amount of Sword Qi shot towards a certain place . Everyone saw a sword rain charging towards the same spot . Almost immediately, cracks appeared on Yan Nan's defense .
"Yan Nan, admit defeat!" Yan Jiu who was at the edge of the arena shouted . Swordsmen were known for their aggressiveness . They could crush all defenses, but their own defense was comparatively much weaker .
Previously, Yan Nan had gained an advantage in his attacks and was able to suppress Ye Wuchen . However, the situation of the battle flipped around out of a suddenly . Ye Wuchen was attacking Yan Nan with countless swords at the moment and Yan Nan was absolutely on the losing end . If this continued, Yan Nan would not only lose but he would also be killed .
Yan Nan's face turned very gloomy as he stared at Ye Wuchen in the sky . The sword veil around him was already on the verge of being crushed . Just then, Ye Wuchen raised his hand and the thousands of swords around him clanked .
"I admit defeat!" Yan Nan roared, not resigned to his fate . Ye Wuchen's finger stopped in the air, after which the Sword Qi dissipated .
Countless people gazed at Ye Wuchen . This one-armed swordsman who had been keeping a low profile was humiliated by Yan Nan, being addressed as a handicapped . However, he actually defeated Yan Nan, a Sword Saint Villa disciple .
He is actually also so strong, Li Qingyi, Qin Yin, and the other people from Dawn Road thought . It seemed like nobody with Ye Futian was weak, although their levels were somewhat low .
Yan Nan's face darkened as he stood blankly at his spot . He had actually lost .
"I actually lost to a handicapped . " Yan Nan gave a self-mocking smile . The word "handicapped" was still particularly grating . Raising his head, he looked at Ye Wuchen . "Is that what you learned from the relic?"
Ye Wuchen glanced coldly at Yan Nan . Ignoring him, Ye Wuchen turned around and left . Since he could not kill Yan Nan, it was pointless to say anything else .
"Wait," an elder from the Holy Zhi Palace suddenly said . "Ye Wuchen, do you want to join my island?"
Ye Wuchen was the one being challenged, but his power was approved by the Holy Zhi Palace in this battle . Someone wanted to accept him as a disciple .
"Thank you, but I would like to stay in the arena . " Ye Wuchen bowed gently, after which he continued his way back . He had rejected the offer . Moreover, because he was the one who was challenged and had obtained the approval of the Holy Zhi Palace, he would not need to fight anytime soon .
The elder did not say anything . He looked at Yan Nan and asked, "How about you?"
Although Yan Nan had lost, his power was similarly approved .
Yan Nan glanced emotionlessly at the back of Ye Wuchen . How could he accept something that Ye Wuchen had rejected?
"No . " Yan Nan turned around and left . Because he had obtained someone's approval, he could still stay in the arena despite having lost . He was promoted to the next round .
Both of them had actually rejected the offer . Clearly, they had greater ambitions . To Yan Nan, if he was to join the Thousand Holy Islands, he might as well stay in Sword Saint Villa .
In the crowd, Chen Yuan said to Mu Chuan, "Did you see that? Even the person beside him can enter the Holy Zhi Palace . Moreover, he rejected the offer from the Thousand Holy Islands . I really don't know why you're always so proud before me . "
Zhaixing House had been acting superior just because Mu Zhifan was a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace . Now, Chen Yuan was almost elated .
Behind him, Mu Zhifan's face darkened . Indeed, even Ye Wuchen could enter the Holy Zhi Palace . The reason that he had been so complacent seemed insignificant at the moment .
The arena was somewhat silent . The battle between the two evenly matched swordsmen just now was very remarkable .
Ye Wuchen returned to the side of the arena . Ye Futian looked at his sleeve which had been cut off and asked softly, "Are you injured?"
Ye Wuchen shook his head gently and did not say anything else . His handsome face looked very calm, but Ye Futian did not know what he was thinking . Nevertheless, anyone who was humiliated as a handicapped would certainly be furious . Moreover, Ye Wuchen's broken arm was indeed his major flaw .
"Next," the person on the sky stairwell said .
"Me," someone replied . However, before the person could walk out, someone else in the crowd was already walking towards the center of the arena .
Many people seemed to be very surprised . The person who walked out first was actually Ye Futian .
Ye Futian strolled to the center of the arena and stopped . Ignoring the amused stares of everyone, he looked in a certain direction . It was where Ye Nan had just returned to .
"Get the f*** over here," Ye Futian said, pointing at Yan Nan . After Yan Nan lost, he still called Ye Wuchen a handicapped . Ye Wuchen did not seem to mind, but Ye Futian did!
