Chapter 1600: First, Decide Victory or Defeat
Chapter 1600: First, Decide Victory or Defeat
When the two were tens of meters apart, Ye Xuan stopped, his gaze directly fixed on the Sword God.The Sword God was also watching him.
As their eyes met, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
For a long time.
The Sword God nodded towards Ye Xuan, "You’ve come."
Ye Xuan: "I’ve come."
The Sword God smiled, "I knew you would come."
Ye Xuan grinned, "I knew you’d wait."
The two exchanged a smile, and there was an inexplicable sense of understanding.
It seemed they weren’t opponents at all, nor were they mere strangers who had only met once before, but rather... friends crossing decades, crossing countries!
Suddenly, the laughter came to an abrupt halt.
The Sword God looked deeply at Ye Xuan, letting out a heavy sigh, "I didn’t discipline well, making you see a joke."
Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned, then he was relieved.
Last night, he had a bout with Chiba Sakurako, and that stubborn girl fought with him until their hands were stained with blood before she was willing to stop.
What kind of smart, wise person was the Sword God?
Obviously, the Sword God knew everything.
"Blood ties should be revered, where’s the joke in that?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes, blood ties." The Sword God sighed with a faint smile, looking helpless, "Children are always naive and ignorant, if it weren’t for your generosity, last night, she would have been a dead person."
Ye Xuan chuckled, "I don’t kill those without grievances, especially beauties."
The Sword God was slightly taken aback by his words.
And standing in the crowd, Chiba Sakurako couldn’t help but blush when she heard what Ye Xuan said. This guy, why does he always suddenly act unserious?
The Sword God gathered his thoughts, with a smile on his face, "I’ve told her, today’s showdown, regardless of the outcome, the Sword God clan must have no grievance with you, so..."
The Sword God paused, then continued, "I hope you can give me a fair duel."
"Meaning I shouldn’t hold back?" Ye Xuan smiled.
"Between you and me, there’s no sentiment." The Sword God smiled, "But you and I have no enmity or grievance, today, our duel will determine both superiority and life and death. If you stick to your principle not to kill me, I, for one, will not share your grace."
"Oh, you’re worried about that." Ye Xuan gave a light smile, "Then you really don’t need to worry. I indeed don’t have the habit of killing people without grievances, but fundamentally, it still depends on whether the other person is a beauty."
Chiba Sakurako: "..."
The Sword God: "..."
The whole audience: "?!"
Ye Xuan, are you a human or a ghost?
The Sword God secretly exhaled, calming his slightly excited emotions, then once again looked at Ye Xuan, squinting his eyes, his gaze bursting with an extremely chilling killing aura, "To determine superiority and life and death!"
With the Sword God’s words, the entire Canglang Island instantly turned deadly solemn.
And upon hearing this, the smile on Ye Xuan’s face gradually faded, replaced by a rare solemn and sharp look.
"Ye Xuan of Yan Country, ready for battle!"
With Ye Xuan’s thundering voice echoing, the atmosphere of the entire Canglang Island plunged into silence.
To determine superiority and life and death.
Ye Xuan of Yan Country, ready for battle!
Solemn and resolute!
Every gaze converged, seeing Ye Xuan and the Sword God facing each other, brimming with a frightful killing intent, causing everyone to be horrified and inexplicably fearful.
Only a true duel between masters could have such a powerful and domineering aura!
"Amazing, the Sword God is truly incredible, just by this aura, how many in the entire Martial Arts world can compare?"
"I think this Ye Xuan also seems quite remarkable, so young, yet he has such a presence, no wonder he could kill Zhao Yunfei and his son some time ago, seeing him today, he truly lives up to his reputation!"
"This Ye Xuan indeed has some skills, if given a few more decades, even the Sword God might not withstand three moves from him, but alas... haha!"
"In this vast world, there’s nothing unusual, haven’t there been many geniuses in Martial Arts for centuries? Wasn’t Ye Tianlong back then a genius? And what was the result? A genius dying young is fate, nothing to feel sorry about!"
"The Sword God’s current strength is far beyond what it was thirty years ago, even back then, Ye Tianlong barely managed to win after hundreds of moves, even if Ye Xuan has Ye Tianlong’s prowess and talent from those years, he probably has little chance of winning today!"
"..."
In the heavy and cold atmosphere, the people in the Martial Arts world almost all favored the Sword God over Ye Xuan, with the rhetoric overwhelmingly one-sided.
Only Ye Xuan and the Sword God were particularly calm.
All people and voices around seemed disconnected from them, from the moment the duel began, in their eyes, it seemed only the two of them remained.
Quiet, quieter.
Dead still, even more silent!
When the tension between the two reached its peak, finally, the Sword God moved.
He flicked his toe, and a piece of dry wood covered in yellow soil suddenly rose into the air, and as soon as it fell into his hand, the whole piece of wood seemed to change its character, becoming sharp and forceful!
"First determine superiority, then life and death!"
A dull shout echoed, and at the same time, the Sword God, holding the dry wood, transformed into a leopard, charging at Ye Xuan with the speed of lightning and a tempest.
The duel, on the verge of breaking out!
But Ye Xuan, seeing the Sword God’s pressing figure, was not at all flustered and immediately stomped the ground.
Boom!
A dull sound echoed as the massive counterforce directly catapulted a piece of dry wood beneath Ye Xuan’s foot into the air, landing squarely in his hand.
At the same time, the swift and domineering Sword God had already approached Ye Xuan, and without a word, his dry wood, like a sword or saber, brimming with terrifying killing intent, slashed fiercely at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan’s eyes lowered, feeling the chill of the attack coming through the air, a strange smile unknowingly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Compared to Chiba Sakurako, the strength of the Sword God was undeniably several times stronger.
But in Ye Xuan’s eyes, it was almost the same!
Crackling!
In the air, there was an immediate astonishing sound of metal clashing.
Others were shocked.
The dry sticks in the hands of Ye Xuan and the Sword God were clearly just twigs, yet when they clashed, they produced the sound of metal clashing, what on earth is going on?
Their strength was just too unimaginable!
A mere dry stick could manifest the hardness and sharpness of a sword?
Incredible, chilling!
That there could be such extraordinary people in the world!
And even as many were shocked and before they could come to their senses, the Sword God’s attacks were relentless, and in a matter of moments, he unleashed at least seven attacks on various vital spots on Ye Xuan’s body.
But Ye Xuan, handling this overwhelming assault, was at ease, either retreating or blocking, with casual grace, unfailingly countered every move of the Sword God!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xuan and the Sword God had exchanged a full hundred and seventy-four moves.
