After all, when Xuanyuan Chao first met Kuang Yazi when he was young, he saw this saber move. It was flawless, stunning, and unavoidable. Although it was just an opening move, it left him with an unforgettable memory that he would never forget for the rest of his life. For this reason, he had chased after it at all costs for decades.

Seeing this saber move again made Xuanyuan Chao feel as if he had returned to the day he had fought Kuang Yazi to determine the Saber Chief.

Unfortunately, the saber move was still the same as before without any changes, but he was no longer the same person who had just entered Jianghu!

Boom!

At the same time that Ye Jingtang’s figure attacked, Xuanyuan Chao had already taken action.

His burly figure, which was nearly two meters tall, instantly erupted. His muscles were bulging so much that even his hair exploded and straightened in the air.

He raised his python-like arms, stepped back with his left foot, and bent his back. The Jun Mountain Saber, which weighed 54 kilograms, broke through the rain from behind him.

“Haa!” Ye Jingtang unleashed his full strength and slashed horizontally. He had raised his speed to the limit, but the Jun Mountain Saber was still in front of him and slashing down.

Neither side used any feints. They only used their peak moves to the extreme, using the fastest to fight the fastest. The experts present who could see them clearly already understood the result.

Ye Jingtang had enough explosive power, but the Dragon Slaying Decree would definitely block his saber.

As long as the two blades met, it would be impossible for Ye Jingtang to receive the heavy saber head-on. Not to mention that after the Jun Mountain Saber sent him flying, it would follow up with another blow.

The only outcome would be that he would lose his balance and be killed by the Dragon Slaying Decree.

Not only were the martial artists watching this scene, but even Daoist Xuanji could tell that something was wrong. She had already quietly moved forward, preparing to help Ye Jingtang when he was sent flying to prevent Xuanyuan Chao from directly hacking him to death with two or three slashes.

But to everyone’s disbelief, the scene of the two blades colliding didn’t appear!

Xuanyuan Chao sprung his saber from his back violently. With the half-step distance he had created by taking a step back, the heavy saber was already above his head.

But the next moment, Xuanyuan Chao suddenly discovered that the last step taken by the black-clothed saberman in front of him was like a heaven-spanning stupa’s base shaking the mountains and rivers, instantly shattering the stone bricks in a radius of dozens of feet.

Boom!

As for Ye Jingtang, who was holding his saber in his left hand and slashing horizontally, his handsome face instantly turned red, and his eyes were bloodshot. The robe on his body was torn into pieces, and even his hair tie exploded. His explosive speed, which had already reached the peak, forcefully doubled in this half step!

?!

Xuanyuan Chao’s eyes were stunned. The moment he saw this saber move, he understood that it had been fused with the Wind Pool Reverse Blood of the Red Flower Pavilion.

The Wind Pool Reverse Blood could indeed double the user’s explosive power in an instant by injuring the user before injuring the enemy.

But the meridians for using the Wind Pool Reverse Blood were at the spine, and this spear move integrated with the Overlord Spear’s qi circulation method. It had nothing to do with the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade’s starting stance. The outcome of forcefully using it would only be that the qi would split and damage the meridians.Nᴇw chapters are publɪshed on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

For Ye Jingtang to be able to use this saber, it could only be that he had completely disassembled the moves of the Wind Pool Reverse Blood and the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade. Then he reconstructed the qi circulation method and combined the essence of the two peak martial arts into one. Although it looked no different from the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade on the surface, there were already two completely different saber techniques inside.

Kuang Yazi began to injure himself after three strikes. He inflicted damage on the enemy, but he suffered comparable damage, albeit slightly less. He was crazy enough to risk his life for the sake of killing power, so his saber technique was called ‘Frenzied Blade’.

But Ye Jingtang’s saber had clearly surpassed the creator’s.

When he drew his saber, he didn’t hesitate to injure himself heavily to increase his explosive power. Life and death were only in this saber move. There was no way out at all. It could be said that he had implemented Kuang Yazi’s philosophy to the extreme. It could already be considered the craziest saber technique in the world!

Xuanyuan Chao’s astonishing saber attainments allowed him to figure out the details of this saber move instantly.

But facing such a suicidal and crazy saber technique, he was still in a dire situation.

Just as Ye Jingtang had said before the battle, his saber was faster than Kuang Yazi’s!

But this speed was not because of his physical strength but because of his saber attainments.

Even if he were at the same level as Kuang Yazi, his saber would be faster. Kuang Yazi would lose even if they fought a hundred times.

Xuanyuan Chao’s ‘step back’ was to defend against Kuang Yazi’s starting stance, exchanging space for time to unleash his saber.

In the face of this saber move that suddenly doubled in speed, it had clearly touched the upper limit of what the Bowing Saber Spring could handle. If both sides were at the same level, the Dragon Slaying Decree would still lose even if they fought a hundred times!

Swoosh!

The saber, which was so fast that it was almost crazy, arrived at Xuanyuan Chao’s waist before the heavy saber slashed down.

If nothing unexpected happened, after Xuanyuan Chao’s saber landed, Ye Jingtang would have already relied on his shocking speed to flash past his side and completely end Xuanyuan Chao’s undefeated battle record.

But Xuanyuan Chao was the Saber Chief after all. After he chased after Kuang Yazi for decades, it was impossible for him not to have thought of the situation where he couldn’t defend against this saber move.

The moment Ye Jingtang’s aura changed, Xuanyuan Chao had already given up on attacking. His rock-steady figure turned to dodge to the side.

Boom!

Amidst the roar of the ground shattering, Ye Jingtang, who had turned into a black afterimage, passed by Xuanyuan Chao’s side, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

Xuanyuan Chao’s figure instantly flashed dozens of feet to the side, pulling away from Ye Jingtang. An inch-deep wound appeared under his left ribs.

Compared to Xuanyuan Chao’s size, this superficial wound wasn’t much different from nothing. But when dark red blood splattered on the grayish-black stone platform, it still caused an uproar!

“What?!”

After all, this was the first time Xuanyuan Chao had shed blood on the arena in the 40 years since he became famous!

When Qiu Tianhe saw this scene, his eyes glazed over. He didn’t understand at all.

As for Daoist Xuanji, she was speechless. She couldn’t figure out where Ye Jingtang had come up with this move.

Moreover, it hadn’t taken long for him to come up with it..
