Chapter 51 – I’ll Bet With You (1/2)

Yang Ye had never expected that he would still be unable to injure this Sword Servant after attacking in such a manner. Moreover, his palm was even pierced through by the Sword Servant while the Sword Servant was actually able to execute a strand of sword qi towards him in the process of its retreat. Such combat instinct is too terrifying!

Yang Ye didn’t have the time to think before he placed his sword horizontally before his chest.

Clang!

The sword in Yang Ye’s hand trembled violently, and it obviously showed how ferocious this strand of sword qi was. Under the enormous force transmitted by this strand of sword qi, Yang Ye was struck to the point of retreating repeatedly.

On the other hand, at this instant the sword qi dispersed, the Sword Servant that was originally retreating had suddenly appeared before Yang Ye. Moreover, the sword in its hand appeared alongside it, and the sword stabbed extremely ruthlessly towards Yang Ye’s chest.

It won’t even give me the chance to catch my breath! As he watched the sword stab over once more, Yang Ye was slightly furious. However, he felt slight admiration as well in his heart because this Sword Servant had grasped the flaws he revealed with extreme accuracy. Moreover, the combat instinct possessed by this Sword Servant was truly extremely terrifying!

Even though he felt admiration, Yang Ye’s admiration wasn’t at the point of making him surrender because of it. He executed Gale Steps and flashed to the side. At the same time, a strand of golden sword qi suddenly flashed out from Yang Ye’s sword, and it shot directly at the Sword Servant.

The Sword Servant didn’t dodge, and it slashed its sword down towards Yang Ye’s golden sword qi instead. Obviously, the Sword Servant was clearly aware that so long as it possessed speed and strength, then even a strand of sword qi could be slashed to dispersal. However, the Sword Servant had underestimated Yang Ye’s golden Profound Energy this time.

Clang!

A clear and melodious clang resounded. The strand of golden sword qi directly pierced through the Sword Servant’s sword, and it shot towards the Sword Servant that stood behind the sword.

The Sword Servant seemed to be slightly surprised, and its figure stiffened slightly. However, it quickly recovered from its surprise, and its figure twisted in a strange manner to dodge Yang Ye’s golden sword qi.

Yang Ye was delighted when he noticed that his sword qi was actually so formidable, and he immediately and ceaselessly swung the sword in his hand and the fingers on his left hand that were pressed together to form a sword, causing over 10 strands of sword qi to shoot towards the Sword Servant like a storm.

Yang Ye didn’t have the slightest shred of confidence to defeat the Sword Servant in closed quartered combat, so he could only utilize sword qi to suppress it, and then find its weak point and give it a lethal strike. Yang Ye thought like this and acted like this. However, his way of thinking was good, yet reality was brutal.

At the moment Yang Ye executed strands of sword qi, the Sword Servant had similarly executed over 10 strands of white sword qi. Moreover, these strands of white sword qi actually shot towards every single one of Yang Ye’s golden sword qi.

When he saw this, the smile Yang Ye revealed just moments ago had instantly vanished, and his face was covered in an extremely solemn expression. He’d attacked first to gain an advantage, and he was the first to execute strands of sword qi. Under such circ.u.mstances, the Sword Servant was still able to utilize numerous strands of sword qi to block his own sword qi. What did this mean? It meant that the Sword Servant’s control of Profound Energy and sword qi far exceeded his own!

Bang!

The sword qi from both sides collided, and then they instantly rumbled and dispersed.

Yang Ye didn’t execute sword qi any longer, and he held the sword in his hand as he charged and stabbed at the Sword Servant. In terms of Profound Energy, he was only at the eighth rank of the Mortal Realm, and he would definitely be unable to compare to the Sword Servant at the First Heaven Realm. Since he couldn’t compare with it in terms of sword qi or close quartered combat, then he could only put his life on the line and fight desperately.

Yang Ye completely abandoned his defense. His speed was slightly inferior to the Sword Servant, but it wasn’t too much inferior. Coupled with the fact that he was fighting while completely disregarding his own life, even though he was in a disadvantaged position, yet he wasn’t suppressed completely as he was at the beginning. However, he paid the price for this as well. In a short period of time, his clothes were already in rags, and numerous b.l.o.o.d.y marks covered his body.

Yang Ye paid no attention to those injuries. He only had a single thought in his mind, and it was to fight, fight without any regard for his life! You stab me, then I’ll stab you as well! Let’s see who has no regard for his life!

At this moment, the Sword Servant revealed a flaw once more. It was a Sword Servant that possessed combat instincts and didn’t possess any negative emotions, and this was an advantage. However, in a similar manner, it wouldn’t fight without any regard for its life like Yang Ye did. So, when both their swords were about to stab each other, it would first block Yang Ye’s sword before attempting to stab Yang Ye again.

It was exactly because of this that Yang Ye grew more and more ferocious and had lesser and lesser regard for his life as he fought. Moreover, Yang Ye noticed that the golden Profound Energy within his body had suddenly started to flow slowly, and it was repairing the injuries on his body. This discovery caused Yang Ye to be slightly excited. He’d never imagined that the golden Profound Energy would actually repair his body on its own, and this caused him to fight even more fearlessly.

Since the Outer Court Exam began, two days had already pa.s.sed. In these two days of time, not only had the number of people outside the Sword Servant PaG.o.da not reduced, it had increased constantly instead. It was even to the extent that some outer court elders had come over as well.
