Chapter 197 – Battle! (1/2)

When Yang Ye held a sword and utilized Sword Intent, his imposing aura became extremely fierce. A few strands of golden sword lights would occasionally shoot out from Violet Spirit and descend to the ground. Every single time this happened, a few pitch black holes would appear on the ground!

“Energy Split Sword Technique!” Amidst a loud shout, Yang Ye held Violet Spirit in his hand as he slashed it towards the violet robed young man from afar. In an instant, two golden strands of sword qi shot out explosively from the tip of Violet Spirit. At the same time, his figure flashed, and numerous afterimages were left behind by his sword as he flashed towards the violet robed young man.

Perhaps others would wish for nothing more than to have a long distance battle when facing Darkbeasts, but in Yang Ye’s opinion, he was more suited to close-quartered combat! Why? Because his strength could penetrate his opponent’s defense!

With the boost from his Sword Intent, the golden strands of sword qi grew even sharper and swifter. In less than the time for a single breath, the sword qi had traversed a distance of around 30m and arrive before the young man.

The young man grunted coldly before executing a simple punch!

Bang!

Yang Ye’s golden sword qi instantly dispersed into the air, whereas, the young man’s expression changed slightly. Because two blood red scars had appeared on his fist!

“As expected of Sword Intent, it really is sharp!” The young man spoke in a low voice, and then his figure flashed towards Yang Ye.

Yang Ye revealed a ruthless expression when he saw the young man charge over explosively, and he drew his sword and swiftly slashed it at the young man. At this moment, Violet Spirit revealed truly terrifying might with the boost from Yang Ye’s Sword Intent and golden profound energy. It was swift to the point it left behind numerous seemingly material afterimages, and it was formidable to the point even s.p.a.ce rippled slightly before it!

The young man didn’t dodge this attack, nor did he try to block it. He allowed it to slash down towards his head while his fist blasted straight towards Yang Ye’s chest.

He intends to trade his life for mine? This question had merely flashed in Yang Ye’s mind. He naturally didn’t believe that the young man would make such a stupid move. Since it wasn’t that, then the young man was sufficiently confident in his defense.

When he thought up to here, Yang Ye increased the strength he exerted. He refused to believe that the defense of the young man’s head would be so formidable that it could resist a strike from him that was boosted by his golden profound energy and the 1st level of Sword Intent.

Clang!

Yang Ye’s sword strike struck directly onto the young man’s head. However, the expected scene of the young man’s, head being split into two hadn’t occurred. Conversely, Yang Ye’s sword was even bounced back!

Bang!

Right at this moment, the young man’s fist struck firmly onto Yang Ye’s chest. Yang Ye’s expression changed violently when he was struck by it, and his body instantly curved like a bow. His legs sc.r.a.ped the ground as his figure was blasted flying, and he flew almost 60m before he finally stopped. At this moment, a wisp of blood was slowly flowing down from the corner of Yang Ye’s mouth!

On the other hand, a one centimeter deep mark had shockingly appeared on the young man’s forehead. However, no blood flowed from it.

The young man gazed at Yang Ye, and for the first time, there was seriousness in his eyes. He said, “My Steel Ape’s clan's strongest defense lies on our head. Even a human Spirit Realm expert would find it difficult to harm my head, yet I never expected that you would be able to overcome my defense. There’s no doubt that it’s related to the Sword Intent, but I think that your golden profound energy deserves credit as well. Is that golden profound energy of yours the legendary profound energy of the five elements that humans possess?”

While the young man spoke, Yang Ye clearly noticed that the mark he left on the young man’s head had vanished. At this moment, the young man’s head had healed completely, and this discovery caused Yang Ye’s expression to become solemn once more!

So he’s from the Steel Ape Clan. No wonder his strength is so formidable! Yang Ye nodded slightly and said, “My profound energy isn’t one of the five element profound energies. It’s a variant profound energy. But its might isn’t inferior to the profound energy of the five elements!”

“It isn’t the profound energy of the five elements?” The young man was stunned, and then he nodded lightly and said, “It isn’t important anymore. Alright, human, you can ask me a question as well. I believe that we both have many questions to ask each other!”

Yang Ye pondered deeply for a moment before he said, “According to rumor, an extraordinarily monstrous genius has appeared in your Darkbeast Empire. Are you more formidable, or is he?”
