Chapter 10 – Basic Sword Technique (2/2)
The sword and snow white sword qi collided with each other, and an explosion resounded. After that, Yang Ye’s sword instantly sliced through the snow white sword qi like it was hot oil melting through snow, and then his speed didn’t reduce while he instantly arrived before Duan Jun with his sword in hand. After that, under Duan Jun’s astounded gaze, the sword swung swiftly towards his right and left legs!
Duan Jun’s face was covered in disbelief. Never had he imagined that the sword qi he executed would actually be so easily slashed into two by Yang Ye. That was a sword technique! However, before he could recover from his shock, Yang Ye had appeared once more before him, and he was terrified in his heart. He instinctively utilized the sword to block Yang Ye’s attack, and then retreated backward.
Ding! Ding!
Their swords collided without end and emanated the sounds of metal colliding, and it was like a beautiful musical composition.
When they saw Duan Jun being suppressed and ceaselessly retreating, all the Labor Disciples in the surroundings were utterly stunned. It wasn’t just the Labor Disciples, even the Outer Court Disciples nearby were stunned.
A Labor Disciple was suppressing an Outer Court Disciple in battle? Is that the number one piece of trash in history?
All the Outer Court Disciples at the side had shocked expressions. Never had they imagined that the sword qi would actually be cut apart by Yang Ye. Exactly what sort of strength and speed would be needed to accomplish that? Originally, they wouldn’t care even if Duan Jun lost, but now, if Duan Jun lost, then they wouldn’t be able to repay that little girl even if they sold themselves!
When she saw Yang Ye slash through the sword qi with a single strike, a smile bloomed on Bao’er’s face, and her lively eyes flickered with the glow of excitement.
In the arena, Yang Ye was actually able to finish Duan Jun since a long time ago, and the reason he hadn’t finished Duan Jun was that he was training his sword. He was extremely familiar with the Basic Sword Technique, and he was able to execute it even with his eyes closed. However, he lacked actual combat, and since he had a chance now, he would naturally not let it go.
Yang Ye felt more and more relaxed, and his attacks grew more and more smooth as he fought, whereas, the battle grew more and more exhausting and strenuous for Duan Jun. Yang Ye actually merely utilized a few moves throughout the battle. Even though it was only a few moves, those moves were a great headache to Duan Jun when utilized in a nimble manner. Moreover, Yang Ye’s speed and strength were shocking to him, and he’d never imagined that the Basic Sword Technique actually possessed such might!
“It’s about time to end it!” As he sensed himself being more and more skilled in the Basic Sword Technique, the corners of Yang Ye’s mouth curled up into an arc. After that, the sword in his hand sped up, and he launched a ferocious attack against Duan Jun.
When he saw Yang Ye suddenly attack ferociously, Duan Jun panicked in his heart, and his sword moves fell into disorder. Yang Ye’s eyes lit up, and his sword stabbed straight towards Duan Jun’s chest. This caused Duan Jun to be shocked and immediately blocked it. Right at this moment, Yang Ye’s sword suddenly changed from stab to slash, and it pierced into Duan Jun’s right hand at an extremely tricky angle.
AH!!
A strand of fresh blood sprayed out from the injury on his right hand. The intense pain at that instant caused Duan Jun to let out a shrill cry, and then the Green Hornet Sword in his hand fell from his grasp and onto the arena. At the same time, a sword that was covered in a cold glow touched his neck.
Duan Jun had lost!
When they saw Yang Ye’s sword touch Duan Jun’s neck, the clamorous noise in the surroundings had vanished at this moment, and there wasn’t a single sound coming from below the arena. Everyone was utterly stunned, and even a falling pin could be heard.
“Hahaha!!!” Bao’er roared with laughter while she glanced at all the Outer Court Disciples around her. She seemed as if she was saying. ‘Look, I had the better foresight!”
At this moment, all of those Outer Court Disciples still had stunned expressions. Never had they imagined that Duan Jun would still lose after utilizing a sword technique, and they were unable to accept such an outcome even until now.
In the arena, Yang Ye gazed at green clothed man whose eyes were filled with terror, and he said, “I can spare your life!”
Duan Jun revealed a delighted expression when he heard this, and then he said, “Really?”
As if he’d thought of something, he continued. “Go, go ahead and tell me your conditions!”
“Your cultivation resources and gold coins!” said Yang Ye.
“Alright! Alright!” Duan Jun hurriedly nodded, and then he withdrew a pouch and a silver colored card before pa.s.sing it to Yang Ye. He said, “There are 20 Energy Stones here, I just received them today. On the other hand, this card has around 10,000 gold coins within it, and it can be utilized all over the Grand Qin Empire!”
Yang Ye’s eyelids jerked when he heard there were 10,000 gold coins within it, and then he put away the pouch and card.
When he saw Yang Ye put them away, a wisp of resentment flashed in the depths of Duan Jun’s eyes, and he said in his heart, Just you wait, I’ll repay the enmity of today by 100 times in the future.
After he confirmed there were indeed 20 Energy Stones within the pouch, Yang Ye smiled as he nodded to Duan Jun. When he saw Yang Ye smile, Duan Jun heaved a sigh of relief. However, right at this moment, Yang Ye’s eyes narrowed while he swung the sword in his hand towards Duan Jun’s arms and legs!
“AH!!!” A shrill and miserable cry instantly resounded on the arena. Duan Jun’s hands and legs were chopped off, causing fresh blood to spray out like a fountain from Duan Jun’s arms and legs, and the intense pain from this caused Duan Jun’s entire face to twist and warp.
“Why? Why? Why!!!?” Duan Jun lay on the ground while he shouted hysterically at Yang Ye.
Yang Ye laughed with ridicule and said, “I told you I wouldn’t kill you, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t cripple you. I wouldn’t be able to sleep in peace while keeping a disaster alive by my side!” As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ye sat down cross-legged and withdrew an Energy Stone to recover the Profound Energy within his body.
Duan Jun was angered to the point of spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, and then he started cursing furiously and hysterically on the ground.
The Outer Court Elder below the arena glanced indifferently at Duan Jun who lay on the ground, and then he shook his head before instructing others to take Duan Jun away.
“Hey, hand over the Energy Stones!” Bao’er ran over to Jiang Qiushui and the others, and then she stretched out her small hand and said, “I’ve counted it, and all of you have to give me a total of 390,000 Energy Stones. Quickly hand it over!”
When they heard this, the countenance of all of the Outer Court Disciples here instantly turned ghastly pale.
