Chapter 365: Eight-Steps Dragon Slaying (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the past, Ye Jingtang had never seen the strength of the Eight Chiefs, and his horizons had always been focused on seeing moves and countering them. He had always been studying external conditions such as weapons and movements.

After seeing Daoist Xuanji’s ‘a punch is a punch’ yesterday, he had broadened his horizons and understood that moves and weapons were not important in the eyes of the giants at the peak of the mountain. What was important was the inside.

Then he had spent the other half of the night adjusting the qi circulation methods of the Overlord Spear, the Dragon Slaying Decree, the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade, and so on. He used them as references against each other to explore how to make the original moves stronger.

As long as his way of thinking was right, constructing qi circulation methods and finding the optimal solutions would really be only a matter of a few hours for him.

At this moment, the saber passed by Xuanyuan Chao’s body and left a wound on his body. Ye Jingtang’s eyes, which had always been as calm as water, revealed a fanaticism.

“Haa!”

The moment Ye Jingtang rushed behind Xuanyuan Chao, his feet stepped heavily on the ground, and his figure turned at a sharp angle. He sent his saber from his left hand into his right and thrust the saber forward, instantly pulling out a white mist on the io,ooo-square-foot platform!

Boom!

The two strikes connected without a gap, not giving the opponent any time to counterattack.

When Xuanyuan Chao dodged to the side and landed on the ground, Ye Jingtang had already arrived in front of him again!

Xuanyuan Chao had been studying the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade for half his life and knew the moves very well. It was impossible for him to be defenseless against it. While he was dodging to the side, his heavy saber had already spun around and slashed in the direction of Ye Jingtang’s attack.

But Ye Jingtang also knew the shortcomings of the Dragon Slaying Decree. Relying on the ease with which he could retract and release his light saber, his speed decreased sharply in the middle of the attack, allowing the Jun Mountain Saber to sweep past him at the right time. Then his speed erupted to the extreme again!

Swoosh!

Although Xuanyuan Chao could use the 54-kilogram Jun Mountain Saber at will, when fighting at the same level, it was impossible for him to maintain the same reaction speed as Ye Jingtang.

Seeing Ye Jingtang exploiting this flaw and continuing to attack, Xuanyuan Chao stopped his saber without hesitation and held it in front of him horizontally, using it as a shield.

Clang!

A sudden clap of thunder sounded on Jun Mountain Terrace.

Ye Jingtang, who had unleashed his full strength, held his saber with both hands and attacked in front of him. Seeing Xuanyuan Chao blocking, he directly turned his slash into a stab and struck the thick saber.

This saber move condensed everything that Ye Jingtang had learned in his life. Its power was terrifying. The saber momentum shook the rain and pierced a hole in front of him.

If it landed on the Jun Mountain Saber, even if Xuanyuan Chao were holding a divine weapon, it might be possible that it would directly pierce the weapon until it pierced through his heart.

But Xuanyuan Chao’s reaction was extremely fast. He pushed his saber with his right hand and made the Jun Mountain Saber form a slant. When the Hornless Dragon Saber stabbed, it slid to the left and back, scraping a thin groove on the heavy saber, and sparks flew!

Clang!

The Hornless Dragon Saber in Ye Jingtang’s hand was not as unwieldy as the Jun Mountain Saber. After missing, he immediately retracted his saber and slashed at Xuanyuan Chao’s abdomen.

But Xuanyuan Chao had rich experience. Although he couldn’t catch up to Ye Jingtang’s speed, he calculated Ye Jingtang’s attack methods and took a step back in advance.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

On the stone platform, the torrential rain was driven by the wind, turning into turbulence that flew in all directions.

The nearly 10,000 martial artists watching the battle could only see a black afterimage weaving back and forth around Xuanyuan Chao, bringing with it sparks of fire and ear-piercing thunder.

Xuanyuan Chao’s body was like a mountain, and his movement technique was as light as a butterfly. His 54-kilogram saber flashed around his body as he blocked Ye Jingtang’s almost crazy attacks with ease, seemingly not at a disadvantage.

But top experts such as Daoist Xuanji could tell that the battle had ended.

This was because Ye Jingtang had forcefully interrupted Xuanyuan Chao from raising his saber twice. He didn’t have a chance to raise his saber a third time and could only use the heavy saber as a shield to block passively.

If the Jun Mountain Saber couldn’t spin, it couldn’t rely on the accumulation of inertia, speed, and saber momentum to pose a threat to Ye Jingtang. If he wanted to hit Ye Jingtang with a metal lump weighing more than 50 kilograms, it would only be possible if Ye Jingtang’s brain failed and he knocked his head against the saber.

Ye Jingtang had the initiative. He might not be able to hit Xuanyuan Chao with a hundred strikes, but as long as he hit him once, Xuanyuan Chao would be gone.

Buzz!

Although the martial artists watching around Jun Mountain Terrace were slow to react, they quickly realized that Xuanyuan Chao’s Dragon Slaying Decree seemed to have really been crushed to death. A thunderous noise gradually sounded across the lake.

When Qiu Tianhe saw this scene that he had fantasized about for countless years, his hands trembled slightly, and he actually felt tears well up in his eyes.

But before Qiu Tianhe could get excited, the sudden change in the arena plunged the entire world into an eerie silence!

Everyone could tell that Xuanyuan Chao was bound to lose. As the current Saber Chief, how could Xuanyuan Chao himself not be able to tell?

Just as Ye Jingtang turned around again and wanted to take advantage of Xuanyuan Chao’s half-turn to stab his saber into his ribs, the clanking of metal suddenly sounded from the arena!

Clang!

Xuanyuan Chao’s hair was flying about, and his originally calm eyes revealed the fanaticism of a saberman. As he shouted angrily, he twisted his hands that were holding the Jun Mountain Saber slightly. Then his body suddenly exploded, drawing a dazzling white light in the rain!

The hairs on Ye Jingtang’s body stood on end. He instantly stopped and changed from stabbing to blocking. His pupils constricted as he looked carefully. He saw the thick saber fly out, leaving only the blade and no hilt.

Xuanyuan Chao, whose speed had skyrocketed, was holding a long saber around four feet long in both hands. The saber’s blade was slender and had a cold glint. It weighed at most three kilograms. It almost left an afterimage in the air as it arrived in front of Ye Jingtang in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

The two blades collided, and Xuanyuan Chao’s terrifying explosive power was finally displayed.

Although Ye Jingtang reacted in time, there was a difference in body size. Under the heavy strike, his feet stepped on the bricks, and his entire body slid back more than 100 feet before stopping..
