Supreme Sword God-Chapter 491 - 490: Learning on the Fly, the Great Era Arrives!
Ye Chen wielded his sword with elegance and grace; it seemed to rise slowly, yet its speed was astonishing.
Moreover, the trace of the sword’s movement resembled drifting snowflakes settling in the boundless snowfield, leaving no trace.
Xu Ziliu’s thrust entered the sword light conjured by Ye Chen’s move. His brows furrowed, and he swiftly withdrew his sword to defend.
"Clang clang clang clang..."
The crisp sound echoed continuously.
Relying on intuition, Xu Ziliu blocked Ye Chen’s traceless sword. Meanwhile, he retreated rapidly, leaving two deep lines of footprints in the snow.
Once stabilized, Xu Ziliu’s face showed excitement as he said, "Excellent swordsmanship, it seems I have to use my real skills now.
Brother Ye, you’d better be careful, watch my Celestial Mountain Snow-Collapse Sword!"
With those words, Xu Ziliu leaped up and appeared above Ye Chen instantly, slashing downwards.
The sword light was like an avalanche, terrifying beyond compare.
Ye Chen thrust his sword, and within moments, struck one hundred times to break down Xu Ziliu’s move. Then, with a flash of sword light beneath his feet, he also shot into the air, sweeping his sword horizontally.
Snow Spirit Sword Technique, Thousand-Mile Ice Seal!
The sweeping sword light was like an ice field spreading rapidly.
Xu Ziliu swung another forceful slash.
"Boom!"
The sword light swept by Ye Chen exploded violently.
Yet, Xu Ziliu’s downward slash was undiminished in momentum, continuing toward Ye Chen’s face.
Ye Chen held his sword horizontally before him.
"Clang!"
Xu Ziliu’s sword struck fiercely against Ye Chen’s Celestial Mark Sword.
However, Ye Chen, who was defending, stood unmoved, while Xu Ziliu’s body was sent flying by the tremendous rebound!
Ye Chen instantly pursued.
"Snow Drift in the World!"
A soft shout emitted from his mouth.
Instantly.
All the drifting white snow seemed to freeze in mid-air. With Ye Chen’s slash, every snowflake rushed towards Xu Ziliu like a torrent!
Each snowflake seemed to be a sword.
The countless snowflakes were countless swords.
Xu Ziliu’s figure was swallowed and submerged by the snowflakes!
"Blizzard!"
A loud shout emerged from the roaring snowflakes.
"Boom rumble!"
Immediately after, all the snowflakes exploded, and the snow-covered ground within miles was lifted by the powerful air wave.
The scene was incredibly spectacular!
Xu Ziliu, holding a long sword, stepped through the air wave within the blizzard, launching another slash at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen’s wrist holding the sword rotated, the Celestial Mark Sword pointed nine times in mid-air.
Each sword left a trail of light in the air.
Each trail of sword light was like a blooming snowflake.
The aura of the nine snowflakes connected, forming a unique mark and blasting towards Xu Ziliu.
This move was called Flying Crane Snow Seal!
The enormous icy snow mark suddenly blasted in front of Xu Ziliu.
Xu Ziliu’s charging sword stabbed at the center of the mark!
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion sounded.
Xu Ziliu’s body flew backward again, this time directly crashing into the ground, creating a large pit!
"No more fight!"
Xu Ziliu got up, shouted, his face full of gloom, completely outmatched.
Ye Chen’s face carried a faint smile, sheathing his sword gracefully landed.
Xu Ziliu looked at Ye Chen, saying, "Are you really only ranked eighty-sixth on the Qingyun Ranking?"
He believed that if he fought for the Qingyun Ranking, he could easily reach a ranking in the sixties.
However, fighting against Ye Chen, ranked eighty-sixth, completely outclassed...
Xu Ziliu started to doubt himself.
Ye Chen said seriously, "Didn’t you say the Qingyun Ranking has updated? I’m ranked eighty-eight."
Xu Ziliu: "..."
Even more gloom filled his heart, feeling extremely uneasy.
Losing a duel wasn’t a big deal; realizing he was like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Looks like, let alone the sixties, even entering the Qingyun Ranking would be a struggle!
Dejected, Xu Ziliu muttered, "This was a spar; I actually have a big move..."
Ye Chen remained silent, but Little Phoenix chimed in, "My big brother also has a big move, and my brother just mastered the Ice Sword Intent, even the sword technique used was learned on the spot."
Xu Ziliu: "...Brother Ye, did you really just master the Ice Sword Intent? And your sword technique was entirely improvised?"
Ye Chen didn’t want to continue demoralizing Xu Ziliu, so he said, "To withstand several of my swords, Brother Xu, you’re actually quite impressive."
Xu Ziliu felt like finding a heap of snow and bumping his head to end it all.
"Big bro, you’re too discouraging!" Little Phoenix grumbled.
Ye Chen glared at Little Phoenix.
Since when did I become big brother?
At this moment.
A figure swooped down from the sky.
It was the elder of the Celestial Mountain Sect.
The old man landed beside Xu Ziliu, his gaze complex as he looked at Ye Chen, saying, "Younger Brother Ye, with your strength, entering the Qingyun Ranking around the sixties should be easily achievable."
He really didn’t want to see Xu Ziliu so dispirited, lest his inner world collapse, which would not be good.
Ye Chen thought for a moment, a modest expression on his face, "I think reaching the fiftieth rank shouldn’t be a problem."
Old man: "..."
Really modest!
Nevertheless, it should be roughly accurate. The old man was deeply impressed, realizing that someone at the Seventh Layer of Transcendence reaching the Qingyun Ranking’s fiftieth rank was unprecedented!
This young man’s future is boundless!
Hearing this, Xu Ziliu felt much better, he said, "Brother Ye, my aunt indeed spoke correctly; your talent truly is unparalleled!"
Ye Chen: "Your aunt?"
Since when did I have connections with people from the Celestial Mountain Sect...
"Yes, Brother Ye, aren’t you and my aunt on good terms?" Xu Ziliu said.
Ye Chen’s expression darkened slightly.
I’m innocent; when did I become close with your aunt?
"My aunt is Su Yun from your True Martial Hall Bright Hall."
Ye Chen: "..."
Xu Ziliu continued, "My aunt actually shares the same surname with my grandmother; she doesn’t like staying in the Celestial Mountain Sect..."
Ye Chen: "Oh, well, my relationship with Hall Master Su is indeed good."
Su Yun is really fond of me.
Fortunately, I didn’t hit Xu Ziliu too hard earlier... otherwise, there’d be no explanation when I got back.
The old man glanced at Xu Ziliu, saying, "Ziliu, we have matters to attend to and must hurry on our way."
Xu Ziliu nodded, looking at Ye Chen, "Brother Ye, I’ll come find you at the True Martial Hall another day; I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll bid farewell for now."
Ye Chen politely cupped his hands, saying, "See you again."
A moment later.
Flying in the sky alongside the Celestial Mountain Sect elder, Xu Ziliu said, "Elder, I’ve finally seen the talents outside; it’s much more interesting than just cultivating in the sect. I’ve decided, I want to enter the world and don’t want to remain in the sect anymore."
The old man nodded, "Bringing you out this time is part of the sect leader’s plan to prepare you for entering the world. Next, Cangzhou will become lively.
Major sects and families will start to exert their influence, and magnificent events will soon unfold."
As he spoke, the old man’s mind involuntarily recalled Ye Chen’s image; although it was just a fleeting first meeting, Ye Chen had left an incredibly profound impression.
The old man felt sincerely, "This Ye Chen from the True Martial Hall is extraordinary; I believe no matter how the situation changes, his charisma will not be overshadowed, and his brilliance will only become more dazzling!"
Xu Ziliu said, "No worries, I’ll go find Aunt Yun and have Ye Chen take me under his wing!"
The old man glared at Xu Ziliu.
This is the Celestial Mountain Sect’s young master, taking Ye Chen’s wing? Does that make sense?
However, the old man said nothing else; if he could truly align with Ye Chen, perhaps it would bring great benefits!
