Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 177: Killing You Is Like Slaughtering a Dog
Under the immense pressure, Ye Cangqian also erupted, his Battle Power instantly surging to one hundred and twenty percent.
CHHSS—
He directly unleashed his terrifying killing weapon, the Cangqian Lifeless Sword!
A sword named after him, it was one with his mind and body, a Unity of Spirit and Body.
As he struck, the void itself emitted a shattering Dao Sound that seemed to warp space.
Though launched second, the sword strike arrived first, viciously stabbing toward Ye Tianling’s glabella.
HUMMM—
In an instant, Ye Tianling’s Extreme Cold Mysterious Sword struck the Cangqian Lifeless Sword.
A sharp CRACK echoed from the Cangqian Lifeless Sword as a silver light exploded from it, scattering in every direction.
At the same time, Ye Cangqian coughed up a mouthful of blood. Before he could even fly forward to launch a fatal attack on Ye Tianling, he was sent flying backward.
His Top Grade Celestial Tier Treasure Sword, a weapon bound to his very heart and Soul, had been pierced straight through in a single strike!
The brilliant, Dao Mark-infused Cangqian Lifeless Sword was instantly stripped of its Dao Rhyme Radiance, shattering into fine dust!
BANG—
Only then did the sound of the Cangqian Lifeless Sword’s explosion finally ring out through the void.
As Ye Cangqian spat blood, his expression changed dramatically.
He had never imagined that a lowly native like Ye Tianling, a mere ant, a bastard, could have become this powerful, this terrifying!
’Was that even a sword?’
’What terrifying level of Battle Power did his opponent’s strike reach?’
’To violently destroy my unparalleled Weapon in a single strike?!’
Ye Cangqian’s pupils constricted. At that moment, Ye Tianling became a streak of Flowing Light, using his Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique to instantly close the distance.
The hairs on Ye Cangqian’s body stood on end. A bone-chilling cold shot straight to the top of his head, making his scalp prickle in pain.
Having closed in on Ye Cangqian, Ye Tianling thrust his Extreme Cold Mysterious Sword forward once more—a fiercer, more brutal strike aimed at his glabella.
He was still only unleashing a fraction of his true Battle Power.
The reason he held back was to guard against a sudden killing blow from Duan Qianji, lest he be caught completely defenseless.
Even so, his fight against Ye Cangqian was completely one-sided, an utter steamrolling!
Yes, a steamrolling.
If Ye Cangqian hadn’t possessed a few trump cards of his own, he would have died from Ye Tianling’s very first attack!
Facing such a brutal and terrifying strike, Ye Cangqian reined in his anger and jealousy. In this extreme situation, his mind paradoxically became utterly calm.
The pressure of life and death pushed him into a profound and mystical state.
In this state, which was like the Unity of Heaven and Man, every aspect of his Ability reached its absolute peak.
"Hmm, not bad."
The killing intent Duan Qianji had been gathering gradually dissipated. He had originally planned to intervene and save Ye Cangqian, but after witnessing his performance and Sensing the shackles within his body rapidly cracking, he stayed his hand, no longer intending to interfere in their battle.
As far as he was concerned, this battle was the perfect crucible for Ye Cangqian and the best opportunity for him to slay his Heart Demon.
As for Wan Xuegui and Que Xinyan, in Duan Qianji’s eyes, they were just two ants who couldn’t possibly affect the overall situation.
After weighing his options, Duan Qianji instead moved to further seal off the area, reinforcing the Array to make it stronger and more secure. This was to prevent any unexpected interference while Ye Tianling was being eliminated.
DONG—
At that moment, under the suffocating pressure of death, a blue light flashed in front of Ye Cangqian. A hexagonal shield, shimmering with an azure, electric halo, materialized to block for him.
Ye Tianling’s sword struck the shield head-on.
The terrifying DONG sound had come from that very shield.
This shield had also reached the Level of Celestial Tier Top Grade.
Yet, against the attack from the Spiritual Artifact Extreme Cold Mysterious Sword in Ye Tianling’s hand, its Defense Power was still utterly insufficient.
PFFT—
After withstanding the blow for less than half a breath’s time, the azure shield’s electric arcs exploded as the sword’s power viciously pierced through it.
Immediately after, a dense spiderweb of cracks appeared on the shield.
Countless fissures spread out from the initial point of impact.
BANG—
The immense power pierced and destroyed, causing the formidable azure shield to explode the very instant the cracks appeared, shattering into countless fragments before disintegrating into dust!
Not only that, but the immense force also violently threw Ye Cangqian backward, sending him flying.
He stumbled, only barely managing to steady himself a full thousand meters away. He coughed up blood continuously, his face a deathly, ghastly white.
"No, impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible! There’s no way you’re this strong!"
"It’s impossible that I can’t even last a single exchange with you! I am the Celestial Emperor, the future Saint Child, the Divine Child! I was born bearing the Celestial Mandate and great Qi Fortune!"
Ye Cangqian was truly dealt a heavy blow. Being forced to deploy his so-called powerful defensive measures was already a humiliation!
To have those defenses pierced and shattered by a single sword strike was even worse. It was as if he, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, was being mercilessly stomped underfoot.
This blow nearly shattered his hard-won composure, threatening to plunge him into a state of absolute madness!
His pride as a genius, his Strong Heart, had suffered the most fatal of blows!
"Heh, should I tell you that I’ve only used thirty percent of my strength? Trash! I told you before, it wouldn’t be long before killing you would be as easy as slaughtering a dog!"
Ye Tianling sneered again and again. As he delivered his taunt, he charged forward with another sword strike.
He knew that Duan Qianji intended to use this life-and-death battle to temper Ye Cangqian and activate his Ancient Bloodline!
However, Ye Tianling also needed to buy time, waiting for the Little Dragon Girl to summon that "powerful expert of the Dragon Race."
When faced with an external enemy, even mortal foes within the Dragon Race would unite against a common foe.
The chances of someone like Long Tianxiao teaming up with an outsider to attack a fellow clan member were extremely slim!
Therefore, as long as the summoned dragon wasn’t one of Long Tianxiao’s die-hard loyalists, Ye Tianling believed he had at least a sliver of hope of surviving this ordeal.
As for a potential pursuit by the Dragon Race, Ye Tianling was actually more confident in his chances, thanks to his Hidden Dragon Swordsmanship and other techniques.
"Thirty percent?! A bastard like you dares to make such a shameless boast? You’ve probably already used two hundred percent of your strength!"
Ye Cangqian roared, clearly refusing to believe—refusing to accept—that Ye Tianling had only used thirty percent of his Battle Power!
A look of clear mockery spread across Ye Tianling’s face.
"Bring out all your trump cards. I’m afraid if I attack again, I’ll just obliterate you completely!"
Ye Tianling chuckled, and that contemptuous sound was the greatest and most direct insult to Ye Cangqian.
"Damn you!"
Ye Cangqian’s qi and blood raged. His Fiery Sun Sword Spirit, combined with his Ancient Bloodline, converged into an incomparably tyrannical Heaven-Breaking Sword strike.
The might of that strike was indeed astonishing, even comparable to a blow from an expert at the Void Realm First Transformation.
This one strike was enough to prove that Ye Cangqian’s reputation was well-earned.
However, for Ye Tianling, who had fought Xia Xinyan to a standstill and made her suffer bitterly, dealing with such an attack was truly a simple matter.
"If this is all you have—"
Ye Tianling chuckled softly.
It was a faint smile, but it was enough to provoke Ye Cangqian into a boundless rage.
FWOOSH—
Ye Tianling’s figure blurred. His muscles flashed with a blood-red light as his Sword Venerate Dominating Body gathered the power of the Samadhi True Fire Celestial Dragon Sword Spirit. In that instant, he prepared to unleash the Absolute Kill strike of the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao.
He was preparing to crush Ye Cangqian utterly and decisively!
