Chapter 52: Mark on the Face! (1/2)

“Elder Liu, what do you think about his strength?” Long Yin asked, using his gaze to hint at Ye Wuchen.

“Neither did he have martial skills, nor does he know any enchantments” the old man from the right side said, the other from the left also nodded his head.

“Oh? Is that so?” Long Yin looked astonished. He could believe that there was no martial skills, but if there’s not even any enchantment involved… Based on the information he gathered, Ye Wuchen can not only use enchantments to connect with the wind, but also has the ring from the God of Sword. Also, Long Yin made his choice of siding with Lin family in front of the whole crowd just to test Ye Wuchen’s powers.

And he apparently did not have any desire to hide anything; instead, agreed instantly.

The jade fan came in contact with the broken sword, sending out an ear-piercing sound “Ding!”, a very large force burst forth from the point where both ends meet. Ye Wuchen’s arm slightly became numb, successively retreated two steps, Lin Xiao did the same, astonishment flashed through both his eyes.

“Crap! He successfully resisted!”

A rough voice loudly resonated through the crowd, that was Hua Zhen Tian’s signature voice. And this loud voice expressed the same surprise felt by everybody.

“What’s…” the elder beside Long Yin sounded alarmed: “What’s going on here? Young master Lin had used half of his power with one blow, how could he able to resist that? Totally no energy wave was detected, don’t tell me his body itself has high power to such an extent?”

Long Yin flashed his gaze, his vision firmly fixed on Ye Wuchen.

“Master Ye really is the sage presented as a normal person, likewise, be careful.” after a moment of surprise, Lin Xiao’s face had that self-confident smile again. He brandished the broken sword in his arm, and momentarily formed a dazzling shadow from his sword which overshadowed the whole body of Ye Wuchen. After what happened in his first attempt, he was decided not to hold back this time.

He only used half of his strength before. But Ye Wuchen also only used half.

Lin Xiao’s sword speed was very fast, but Ye Wuchen’s strength of vision and hand speed was also extraordinary. With just a simple fan, he had resisted the sword. Then, with a simple flick of his wrist, he opened the jade fan. The thick edge of the fan carried a sharp energy slash towards Lin Xiao’s chest.

Ding… Ding… Ding… Ding...

The sound of the sword and jade collision repeatedly echoed, the two men fighting on stage both showed serene complexion, but the people outside the stage were flabbergasted, couldn’t believe their eyes.

Lin Xiao jumped high and struck with his sword. The power went from faintly traceless to outstandingly strong and had been directly resisted by Ye Wuchen. “Boom” a sound echoed, a marble stone below Ye Wuchen’s feet suddenly shattered into small pieces, both his feet sunk through deeply into the ground.

Lin Xiao jumped back by means of his strength, and retreated a few steps after touching the ground and then stood firm.

A very deep dent mark had emerged in the jade fan in Ye Wuchen's hand, and this was almost snapped off because of the hit. The power that was able to break the fan like this, proved that Lin Xiao's strength was in no way beneath his own.

The second degree of Wuchen's power is equivalent to this ordinary world's tenth level power, how about the third, the fourth... and the highest seventh degree locked within his blurred memory?

Lin Xiao absorbed a deep breath, his contemptuous intent disappeared without a trace. He didn't stop. He concentrated on his sword with eyebrows furrowed and then dashed forward while his two faint sword beams flashed while approaching its target. Ye Wuchen used the jade fan to push them aside in succession, resisting both beams, then directing his fan towards the approaching sword.

“My son... when did he become so powerful.” Wang Wenshu sound excited and surprised, partly didn't sound so convinced, but mostly had let go of her worries. Beside her, the once emotionless Ye Shui Yao now looked surprised.

“Sister, Chen is being considered as the descendant of God of Sword, it’s impossible for him not to receive any teachings from God of Sword. He simply did not reveal his true powers” Ye Wei said, the usually serious face this time turned into one filled with excitement, he could no longer control it.

“Is he really Ye family’s sickly young master?” still many people asked this question over and over again.
