Chapter 173: How Could Ye Xuan Be So Powerful
“Hahahaha–!!!” Seeing Ren Bai’s shocked expression, the golden-eyed man holding the long sword couldn’t help but burst into laughter:
“Unexpected, isn’t it? No matter how incredible your cultivation is, in front of this sword, you can only bitterly admit defeat.”
“This sword, created under the orders of the Evil Sky Sect Master, is specifically designed to counter righteous cultivators. It’s named the Demonix Origin Sword–!”
“Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Yi Xie, the first in the Evil Sky Sect to wield the Demonic Origin Sword.” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but show a smug expression.
His gaze shifted to the saber in Ren Bai’s hand, his eyes showing disdain, “With a piece of junk like yours, don’t embarrass yourself by bringing that out in front of me.”
During the conversation, a trace of black qi began to appear on Ren Bai’s long saber. Ren Bai, with a calm demeanor, swung his saber, and the black qi was dispersed by the vibration.
This kind of black qi has a great corrosive effect on spiritual energy. If an ordinary weapon were to clash with this Demonic Origin Sword, it would probably break in just a few hits.
Fortunately, the saber in Ren Bai’s hand was no ordinary blade.
“However, the sword in that old woman’s hand seems to be a sword of the immortals, worthy of comparing with my Demonic Origin Sword.” As he spoke, Yi Xie’s gaze turned towards Qingxue.
During their clash just now, he felt immense pressure from Qingxue’s sword. In terms of the sword’s character, Qingxue’s Profound Sword was much higher than his Demonic Origin Sword.
However, although the Profound Sword had a high grade, it was forged using a legitimate method of immortal crafting, its sword energy abundant yet not chaotic.
But Yi Xie’s sword seemed to have completely disregarded the balance of sword energy during its forging, filled with evil energy that could make even immortals tremble.
The evil energy flowed on the surface and the sword’s lifespan wouldn’t be too long.
Humming–!!!
As Yi Xie was proudly boasting about his sword, suddenly, a sound of a sword’s hum came from afar. Yi Xie raised his sword towards that direction to defend, and in an instant, thousands of spiritual swords flew towards him.
Yi Xie moved swiftly in the air, dodging the sword energies while also knocking down some with his sword that he couldn’t avoid. For a moment, the sword energies fell like rain.
Shi–!!!
Shi–!!!
Accompanied by two sounds of flesh being sliced open. His face, which he originally thought was handsome, now bore two terrifying sword marks.
He touched his face, looking at the blood on his hand, Yi Xie’s eyes couldn’t help but show hatred.
“Kid, didn’t your elders tell you to listen quietly when others are speaking?!” He glared fiercely at the person who launched the swords.
The person arriving was Ye Xuan.
At this moment, Ye Xuan stood on the ground, looking up at the sky, his expression serene as he said, “Didn’t your elders tell you to be gentle with women? My wife is as delicate as a flower, and you call her an old hag, are you blind?”
“So strong–!!!” At this time, the gaze of everyone in the Jade Fox Palace involuntarily turned towards Ye Xuan.
Although they had previously seen Ye Xuan’s power in the vision, that was Ye Xuan many years later. More importantly, at that time, they were all too preoccupied with feeling sorry for Ye Xuan.
They hadn’t noticed Ye Xuan’s strength, but now, seeing Ye Xuan, they suddenly realized that he was such a formidable person.
Although his cultivation was only in the Spiritual Insight realm, his strength was extraordinary.
Even Qingxue and Ren Bai, two immortals, was not able to injured the man wielding the Demonic Origin Sword, but Ye Xuan, with one strike, sending out thousands of swords, had forcefully carved two bloody marks on the man’s face.
What an exquisite sword technique that was–!
“Hmph–!” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Yi Xie snorted coldly, “Kid, don’t give me that, if you ever fall into my hands, you’ll see.”
“Why wait for another day? Why not today.” Ye Xuan said: “Qinxue, lend me your sword. This brat dared to call you an old hag, if I don’t teach him a lesson today, he’ll really think he’s free to spew nonsense–!!!”
As Ye Xuan’s words fell, Qing Xue immediately moved. In a flash, her Profound Sword flew towards Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan manipulated the sword technique from afar, shaking his body, and forcefully propelled the technique towards the Profound Sword.
In an instant, the Profound Sword split into thousands of swords, spinning in the air to form a net of swords.
Thousands of spiritual swords in the sky formed a dense stream of swords, adding to its might. In that moment, the sword energy soared to the skies, connecting heaven and earth.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, the air was filled with the forms of the Xuanji Sword.
“What–!!!” Seeing Ye Xuan, a mere Spiritual Insight realm cultivator, able to mobilize so many swords, Yi Xie was utterly shocked.
He had also seen the moment when Ye Xuan used the Celestial Crimson Sword previously. Seeing how much the sect leader valued this little disciple of the Taihua Sect, he was very disdainful.
In his eyes, Ye Xuan was nothing special; as long as he wielded the Demonic Origin Sword, he was sure he could behead Ye Xuan with a single strike.
But now, seeing this sky full of sword energy, Yi Xie finally understood why the sect leader valued this unknown Spiritual Insight disciple so much.
Thus Celestial Crimson Sword Technique is truly as terrifying–!!! Even with the Demonic Origin Sword in his hand, he absolutely cannot block this strike.
He relies on the power of the evil sword to prevent Ren Bai and Qingxue from injuring him, however, he cannot face Ye Xuan’s strike.
When the distance is too great, all close combatants cannot be the opponent of those who fight from a distance. Even facing Hu Lan, he wouldn’t dare to be arrogant.
But, even so, he doesn’t feel that Hu Lan poses any threat to him. He can leave whenever he wants, but Ye Xuan’s sword has sealed off the space for dozens of miles around.
He has no way to escape.
“Damn it, help me retreat quickly–!!!”
“Hmph, it’s because you had to show off just now; if it weren’t for that, we would have already retreated–!” After taunting Yi Xie for a moment, Xue Po was the first to act, waving a surge of blood energy towards Ye Xuan.
And Ye Xuan wasn’t without allies; as Xue Po attacked Ye Xuan, Hu Lan also reacted swiftly, a pink spiritual light blocking in front of Ye Xuan.
The blood light and the pink light canceled each other out. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan’s sword intent shifted, and sword energies like raindrops flew towards Yi Xie.
At this moment, Yi Xie was terrified. He never expected that facing Ye Xuan’s sword head-on would be so terrifying. Without the strength of an immortal, one absolutely cannot withstand Ye Xuan’s sword techniques…
His sword energy was too overwhelming; he couldn’t rely on just his sword to withstand it.
At this moment, the Evil Sky Sect had to resist Ye Xuan’s sword, while the people of the Jade Fox Palace assisted Ye Xuan in punishing the enemy.
Everyone present moved, and the battle situation became intense once more, with divine light scattering and sword energy unparalleled, and evil energy filling the sky.
And seeing Ye Xuan actually participating in a battle of immortals’ level, even becoming a key fighter, the people of the Jade Fox Palace widened their eyes.
How could Ye Xuan be so powerful; is he really not some kind of immortal?!!
Ding ding ding–!!!
Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, Ye Xuan’s spiritual swords struck down from the sky one by one.
And the people in the sky also felt the pressure, wanting to rush through Ye Xuan’s swords to stop Ye Xuan’s sword techniques.
However, Qingxue and Ren Bai had already sacrificed themselves to shield Ye Xuan. Hu Lan was even casting techniques, activating the grand formation of the Jade Fox Palace.
Once the grand formation of the Jade Fox Palace was activated again, none of these guys could leave.
“Damn, this kid is too troublesome–!!!” With the black banner in his hand, after knocking down hundreds of spiritual swords, Gu Li spoke, “If we’re not careful, even I could be injured.”
“The people from the righteous Immortal Alliance are about to arrive, we can’t delay any longer–!!!” Yi Xie gritted his teeth, looking at the Demonic Oeigin Sword in his hand with a reluctant expression.
“Hmph, fine, since there will be plenty more of these things later, I’ll just give it to you–!!!” As he spoke, he detonated the evil energy within the sword, smashing it towards Ye Xuan below.
For a moment, the evil energy of the Demonic Origin Sword surged, filling the sky with evil, like a dark meteor falling from the sky towards Ye Xuan.
At this moment, everyone at the Jade Fox Palace watched the sky, eyes wide.
This evil sword was too terrifying.
If this sword were to hit the ground, just the evil energy emanating from the sword might make thousands of miles barren.
“Let me handle this–!” At this moment, Ren Bai, holding his long saber, soared into the sky to meet the black meteor falling from above.
With a ferocious slash, he heavily struck the edge of the Demonic Origin Sword. With a loud crash, he was repelled by the force of the evil sword.
Falling to the ground.
“Puh–!!!” Ren Bai couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
And the falling force of the evil sword was also shattered, losing its downward momentum, and slowly landed on the ground, immediately turning a hundred zhang radius into a lifeless black land.
Taking advantage of this moment, the people of the Evil Sky Sect had already left the Jade Fox Palace through a spatial rift.
“It’s not good, the power of this evil sword has not been completely suppressed; if the sword energy bursts out, the Jade Fox Palace will surely turn into a black land, and disciples with lower cultivation will surely not survive.”
Hu Lan looked at the evil sword stuck in the ground, turned to Qing Xue, and said, “Please, Elder Qingxue, help me seal the power of this sword–!”
“No need.” Just then, Ye Xuan had already walked towards the evil sword, saying, “This sword, leave it to me.”
“??!!”
Seeing Ye Xuan still walking towards the sword, Hu Lan couldn’t help but look at him puzzled, “Are you trying to get yourself killed–!!!”
