Chapter 10 – Basic Sword Technique (1/2)

On the Life and Death Arena, at a certain moment in time, both of them opened their eyes at the exact same moment before their gazes collided. Duan Jun’s eyes flashed with undisguised ghastly killing intent, whereas, Yang Ye’s eyes were calm and tranquil.

The two of them stood up. Duan Jun waved the Green Hornet Sword in his hand while he revealed a ridiculing smile and said, “Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. I’ll allow you to strike three moves against me first!” Even though Yang Ye was already a Profounder, he wasn’t afraid. Not only was he at least two ranks of cultivation higher than Yang Ye, his weapon and sword technique were things that Yang Ye didn’t possess. So, he was prepared to play the role of a cat that was playing with a mouse.

Idiot! Yang Ye cursed in his heart while walking towards Duan Jun with sword in hand. When he arrived two meters before Duan Jun, Yang Ye’s indifferent eyes suddenly flashed with a wisp of a savage expression. In the next moment, Yang Ye’s right leg suddenly stomped on the ground and relied on the force of this collision to shoot out like a cannonball and stabbed his sword at Duan Jun.

At the place where Yang Ye’s foot descended, the hard floorboard there had already completely sunken down now. Yang Ye had utilized his full strength in this strike!

At the instant Yang Ye’s figure had just charged out, the Outer Court Elder at the bottom of the arena who was originally on the verge of falling asleep had suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes revealed a wisp of surprise.

At the moment Yang Ye’s figure suddenly charged over, Duan Jun’s expression changed greatly, and his eyes were filled with terror. At such a close distance and coupled with Yang Ye’s sudden charge, he was utterly not in time to dodge or block the attack, and he could only watch as Yang Ye’s sword stabbed on his chest.

Ding!

Yang Ye’s sword stabbed at Duan Jun’s chest, yet a clear and resounding sound of collision resounded, and then Duan Jun’s figure retreated by over 10 steps.

Yang Ye frowned when he noticed the sword actually hadn’t pierced into Duan Jun’s chest, and he didn’t pursue Duan Jun and looked at the green clothed man’s chest instead. He saw that a layer of silver light was ceaselessly flickering beneath the green clothed man’s clothes!

He’s wearing armor! When he thought up to here, Yang Ye’s eyes narrowed while the Profound Energy in his body surged.

Duan Jun took a deep breath while he felt a lingering fear in his heart. He glanced at his chest, and he saw that the high-grade Yellow Rank armor he wore had already sunken in!

What formidable strength! It was at least 500kgs of strength! Duan Jun had a solemn expression, and he knew that he’d underestimated Yang Ye.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ye had blasted Duan Jun back with a single strike, and it caused all the Labor Disciples below to explode with an uproar. Moreover, some of their eyes even flickered with a glow of excitement. No matter what, Yang Ye was a Labor Disciple, and a Labor Disciple had blasted an Outer Court Disciple back. So, they were naturally excited!

“Even a lion utilizes its full strength when hunting a rabbit, yet this Duan Jun actually underestimated his opponent like that. He really is an idiot! Luckily, he was wearing an armor!” Jiang Qiushui’s expression was gloomy as he spoke after watching Duan Jun almost be instantly killed with a single strike.

The other Outer Court Disciples by his side nodded in agreement, and they heaved sighs of relief at the same time. They’d placed a good few months of Energy Stones on Duan Jun, and it was even to the extent that some greedy fellows had placed one or two years’ worth of Energy Stones on Duan Jun. If Duan Jun lost, then they would truly be unable to endure the consequences!

On the other hand, Bao’er had clenched her small fists tightly while her eyes flickered with the glow of excitement.

“I admit that I underestimated you slightly. However, I’ll tell you right now, you still have no chance because I’m going to get serious!” Duan Jun gazed at Yang Ye while the Profound Energy within his body circulated slowly, and as his Profound Energy poured ceaselessly into his sword, his sword actually started trembling slightly at this moment.

“A sword technique?” Yang Ye spoke in a low voice when he noticed the light fluctuations being emanated from Duan Jun’s sword. After that, the light gold Profound Energy within his body poured into the sword in his hand. As soon as it entered the sword, a light golden glow instantly flickered into appearance on the sword in his hand. However, this glow was extremely weak, and it was utterly impossible to notice unless one inspected it carefully.

“Looks like Duan Jun is about to get serious!” Jiang Qiushui’s gloomy expression eased up slightly. “This time, he’ll determine the outcome with a single strike!”

“Duan Jun intends to utilize the Energy Split Sword Technique!” A wisp of a smile appeared on an Outer Court Disciple’s face. “The Energy Split Sword Technique is a high-grade Yellow Rank sword technique. Since Duan Jun dares to utilize it, then it represents that he’s able to execute a strand of sword qi. That Labor Disciple is dead!”

“The Energy Split Sword Technique? I never expected that Duan Jun has actually learned it. Hehe, that Labor Disciple is dead!”

“Haha! 300 Energy Stones, it’s sufficient for me to cultivate until the First Heaven Realm. Haha!!”

“Alas, if I knew Duan Jun has already cultivated a sword technique successfully, then I should have increased my bet. It was only 100 Energy Stones. What a waste!”

“Yeah, what a waste! Seriously, that Duan Jun really concealed his strength!”

At this moment, the Outer Court Disciples seemed as if they’d already seen piles of Energy Stones being placed before them.

When she noticed the excitement of these Outer Court Disciples, Bao’er grunted coldly with dissatisfaction, and then she glanced at Yang Ye while a wisp of worry flashed in her eyes.

Suddenly, a savage expression appeared abruptly in Duan Jun’s eyes, and he held the sword in his hand before suddenly slas.h.i.+ng towards Yang Ye.

“Energy Split Sword Technique!” As soon as his voice resounded, a snow white strand of sword qi around a meter long shot out explosively towards Yang Ye from the tip of Green Hornet Sword. The speed of the sword qi was extremely swift, and it whistled as it arrived before Yang Ye in practically two breaths of time.

When the sword qi arrived a meter away from Yang Ye, he moved. His right leg stomped on the ground and relied on the strong repulsive force from this to shoot out swiftly, and at the same time, the sword in his hand stabbed towards the snow white strand of sword qi.

Hiss!

Perhaps because the force behind it was so enormous, everywhere Yang Ye’s sword pa.s.sed, numerous fluctuations that were visible to the eye had appeared in the air, and it emanated a sharp sound from the air being torn apart.

“Waiting for the enemy to attack before reacting to it!” When he saw Yang Ye go head-on against it, the Outer Court Elder below the arena said in a light voice, “Interesting. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone cultivate the Basic Sword Technique to perfection. Not bad!”

Bang!
