A long spear thrust forward, leaving Ye Xuan utterly speechless!
This guy, did he know Ye Xuan could absorb swords?
He didn’t dodge, letting the spear strike his forehead.
Boom!
A burst of spear energy erupted from his forehead, its terrifying force shaking Ye Xuan’s entire body. Yet, he was unscathed, enduring the spear’s full power!
Seeing this, Zong Bai was completely stunned.
At that moment, the spear retreated, pulling back from Ye Xuan.
The spear trembled slightly, transforming back into a sword.
Ye Xuan looked at the black sword, “That’s it?”
The black sword roared in fury, “Insolent!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. With a swift slash, a sword edge shot out.
Boom!
In the distance, the black sword was knocked back tens of thousands of feet. As it stopped, the Qingxuan Sword struck again.
Boom!
The black sword was sent flying another tens of thousands of feet.
As it halted, another sword strike came!
Boom!
A burst of sword light erupted, and the black sword was slashed away.
Ye Xuan opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword reappearing. From afar, the black sword roared, “Two against one, what kind of hero are you?”
Two against one!
Ye Xuan was speechless. He glanced at the black sword, “Call out your master!”
The black sword snarled, “My master has fallen. If he hadn’t, a sword cultivator like you would be dead in minutes!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “Dead?”
He shook his head, “Looks like your master was pretty weak, to have died!”
The black sword roared in anger, “What do you know? Do you have any idea how powerful his opponent was? You know nothing, you…”
Ye Xuan said, “He’s dead! Nothing you say matters!”
Black Sword: “…”
Nearby, Zong Bai couldn’t help but chuckle.
Ye Xuan added, “A truly powerful sword cultivator never dies, like me!”
The black sword quivered with rage, “Sword cultivator, you dare mock my master!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I do. If you’re not convinced, have him revive and fight me!”
The black sword fumed, “You… are you even speaking human words? He’s fallen! Your words are utterly shameless…”
Ye Xuan grinned, “I’m shameless, heh!”
Black Sword: “…”
Zong Bai: “…”
“Youngster, you’re quite interesting!”
At that moment, a middle-aged man slowly walked out from the floating palace.
The black sword flew to him, “Master!”
Seeing the man, Zong Bai’s expression grew gravely serious.
Ye Xuan looked at him, silent.
The man sized up Ye Xuan, his gaze lingering on the Great Dao Pen at his waist, chuckling, “Great Dao Pen!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The man then looked at the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand, his eyes gaining a trace of solemnity and complexity.
Zong Bai suddenly asked, “Who are you, sir?”
The man smiled, “Sect Master of the Demon Sword Sect!”
Zong Bai frowned slightly, “Never heard of it!”
The man laughed, “That’s normal. The Demon Sword Sect is separated from your time by at least a billion years. In that time, everything has changed!”
A billion years!
Ye Xuan was inwardly shocked. A billion years ago, there were already such terrifying powerhouses, meaning the martial civilisation of that era was incredibly advanced!
The man suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, smiling, “Care to spar?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Sure!”
The man smiled faintly, “Be careful!”
As his words fell, the space before Ye Xuan split open. Before he could react, a sword had already struck his chest!
Boom!
Ye Xuan’s body shook violently, his armour caving in. His face changed drastically as he retreated thousands of feet. Stopping, he glanced at his chest, where the armour had dented.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression grew serious!
Though the sword hadn’t broken Little Ya’s armour, its power was enough to damage it.
The man chuckled softly, “That armour of yours is impressive!”
Ye Xuan looked at him, “Your sword is impressive too, sir!”
The man smiled faintly, “Again! Be more careful!”
As his voice fell, he stepped forward. Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank, and he raised his sword to block.
Boom!
His right arm trembled violently. To his horror, a terrifying force surged through his armour into his body.
Bang!
Ye Xuan was sent flying ten thousand feet!
When he stopped, a trickle of blood spilled from his lips.
His eyes grew solemn. The man’s sword technique was eerie, penetrating his armour!
The man smiled faintly, “Again?”
Ye Xuan looked up, grinning, “Of course!”
As his voice fell, he willed his armour to vanish.
No armour!
The man looked at Ye Xuan, “Are you sure? Without that armour, my sword can easily pierce your flesh!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Come on!”
As his words fell, he opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. Then—
Boom!
A terrifying sword intent surged from his body, soaring into the sky.
Seeing this, the man frowned slightly, “Your sword intent…”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Sir, be careful!”
He vanished from his spot.
Screech!
A sharp tearing sound echoed through the field.
The man remained calm, casually thrusting his sword.
Boom!
A burst of sword light erupted before them. The man retreated hundreds of feet, but before he could stop, another sword strike came.
This strike was faster than the last!
A flicker of surprise crossed the man’s eyes. He flicked his wrist, thrusting his sword lightly, like a leaf drifting in a breeze. But as it met Ye Xuan’s sword, it transformed, turning into a raging storm!
Boom!
A burst of sword light exploded before them. Ye Xuan was pushed back a thousand feet. As he stopped, the space at his forehead split, and a sword hovered half an inch from it!
The scene froze.
Had he lost?
Not quite!
At some point, Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword had struck the hilt of the black sword, halting it!
Ye Xuan flicked his wrist.
Boom!
A wave of sword intent surged, and the black sword was knocked back!
The man opened his palm, catching the black sword. As he gripped it, he retreated several feet.
Surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xuan, “Young man, your sword intent is remarkable!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “You flatter me, senior!”
The man shook his head, “No flattery. Your sword intent is extraordinary, infused with your sword path. Your future is limitless!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Thank you!”
The man looked at Ye Xuan, a hint of admiration in his eyes, “Youngster, I’ll strike one more time. If you can block it without relying on external items, I’ll grant you a great opportunity!”
As his voice fell, he opened his palm. The black sword soared into the sky.
Ye Xuan looked up as the black sword trembled violently.
The man suddenly smiled, “Youngster, give it your all!”
His pupils turned black. He raised his right hand to the sky, then pulled it down sharply, “All Beings Perish!”
Boom!
A terrifying black sword intent surged into the black sword, unleashing an evil aura that swept the entire world!
Zong Bai’s pupils shrank. She retreated swiftly, staring at the black sword, her eyes filled with horror.
Such an evil sword intent!
The man laughed, “The ultimate evil!”
He pointed at Ye Xuan, “Slash!”
Screech!
The black sword slashed down from the sky, as if to tear the universe apart.
Its sword carried the ultimate evil intent!
Below, Ye Xuan closed his eyes slowly. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword trembled. Waves of terrifying worldly sword intent surged from his body, converging into the Qingxuan Sword like rivers. The Qingxuan Sword, carrying a flood of worldly sword intent, soared upward!
Kindness!
Within the worldly sword intent was kindness!
Boom!
The sky shook violently. Black and white sword lights erupted, sweeping the heavens. The Qingxuan Sword clashed with the black sword, both trembling fiercely, unleashing waves of terrifying power. The world began to turn illusory.
The man pressed his right hand downward. The black sword trembled, erupting with terrifying force, gradually pushing the Qingxuan Sword back.
Below, Ye Xuan watched his retreating Qingxuan Sword, silent.
Could kindness not suppress evil?
In the sky, the ‘evil’ in the black sword’s intent grew stronger, dimming the Qingxuan Sword’s light. The kind intent was fading!
Suppressed!
The black sword’s aura grew more terrifying, overwhelming the Qingxuan Sword!
It wasn’t that the Qingxuan Sword was inferior, but Ye Xuan’s kind intent couldn’t match the man’s evil intent!
Below, Ye Xuan’s eyes held a trace of confusion.
All the ancient texts he’d read claimed evil could never triumph over good. Was that true?
Often, evil was stronger than good!
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, looking to the sky, “When kindness is powerless, let evil save the masses!”
As his voice fell—
Boom!
A surge of bloodline power erupted from his body, carrying a terrifying, long-sealed sword intent!
Evil intent!
In that moment, his bloodline power began to change…
