Chapter 244 – Death! (1/2)

Along with a cold grunt from Li Xianjun, the figure of the python that was formed from black energy had swept through the air, and then it emanated a terrifying pressure as it dived down towards Yang Ye. At the same time, Li Xianjun’s figure flashed and shot explosively towards Yang Ye!

On the other hand, Yang Ye’s eyes were still closed at this moment. His Sword Intent had formed an invisible wall in front of him, and it kept the pressure and countless strands of black energy 3m away from him. However, when the black python arrived in front of Yang Ye, the Sword Intent Yang Ye emanated was instantly blasted into dispersion, and then he was directly enveloped by the black python.

At this moment, Li Xianjun had arrived in front of Yang Ye, and with a twist of his wrist, the black scythe in his hand slashed towards Yang Ye.

When they saw Yang Ye being enveloped by the black python, Wenren Yue, Murong Yao, and Leng Xinran instantly shook their heads and sighed. At this moment, it was too late even if Yang Ye executed an Earth Rank technique. Because Li Xianjun’s Earth Rank technique had taken form, and it had arrived in front of Yang Ye. So, how could Yang Ye have time to execute an Earth Rank technique now?

After all, the execution of Earth Rank techniques wasn’t like those strands of sword qi he executed earlier, and it couldn’t be executed just like that!

On the wall of the Imperial Palace, Su Qings.h.i.+’s expression changed slightly. Right when she was about to act, Yu Heng stopped her and shook his head towards her. The rules of the Ascension Rankings couldn’t be broken. Even the Origin School couldn’t break the rules, and the one that did would be unable to partic.i.p.ate in the next Ascension Rankings!

At this moment, the Sword Sect was utterly unable to bear the consequences of being unable to partic.i.p.ate in the next Ascension Rankings!

Right at this moment, Cai Feng from the Flower Palace suddenly laughed coldly and said, “I originally wanted to see what sort of world shocking sword technique this disciple of the Sword Sect would execute, but I never expected that….”

Clang!

Right at this moment, a resounding howl of the sword resounded, and it caused Cai Feng’s ridiculing voice to stop abruptly, and it caused the smile that had just formed on Kugu’s face to stiffen.

At this moment, countless people raised their eyes and looked towards the arena that was still enveloped by black energy.

Three strands of golden sword lights shot into the sky from within the black energy, and then the black python condensed from the black energy had dispersed into the surroundings to reveal the scene on the arena.

When they saw this scene, the countless people in the surroundings including those great figures on the Imperial Palace’s wall were instantly stunned.

At this moment, Yang Ye and Li Xianjun were only a few steps away and both of them were facing each other. Of course, the main point was that Yang Ye’s sword was stabbed right into Li Xianjun’s chest!

Li Xianjun hadn’t perished completely. His eyes were opened wide as he gazed at Yang Ye, and his eyes were filled with shock as he said, “Enlightened….” Li Xianjun didn’t finish what he said because Yang Ye flicked his sword and instantly split Li Xianjun into two!

After he finished Li Xianjun off with a flick of his sword, Yang Ye gestured with his right hand, and then Li Xianjun’s spatial ring and the black sickle on the ground flew into his palm. When he came into contact with the black sickle, a strand of baleful energy instantly a.s.saulted him. Yang Ye frowned, and then his Sword Intent surged out and suppressed the baleful energy.

“It’s at least at the mid-grade of the Earth Rank. Nice!” Yang Ye smiled as he gazed at the black sickle, and then he placed it in his spatial ring before he turned around and walked off the arena.

As they watched Yang Ye walked down the arena, countless people in the surroundings had still not recovered from their shock. At this moment, there was still only a single thought in their minds, and it was a feeling of wonder towards how Yang Ye had killed Li Xianjun!

It wasn’t just those profounders below the arena who were puzzled, even those great figures on the wall were puzzled. Amongst all the people here, they had the best understanding of the might possessed by an Earth Rank technique, and it was exactly because of this that they were even more puzzled. Because not only was Yang Ye completely unharmed before that Earth Rank technique, he’d even killed Li Xianjun!

How did Yang Ye kill Li Xianjun? Besides Yang Ye, no one else in the surroundings knew the answer.

What was destroying all techniques with a single strike of the sword? It meant that a single strike of the sword could destroy the myriad of techniques in the world. Yes, Yang Ye hadn’t held back earlier and utilized the simplest, most direct, and most effective method to deal with Li Xianjun, and that was to determine the flaw in Li Xianjun’s technique and strike a killing blow!

Li Xianjun’s act of utilized a combat technique before Yang Ye who’d comprehended the Enlightened Sword Heart was undoubtedly akin to courting death. At the moment Li Xianjun had just executed the technique, Yang Ye had seen through its flaws already, and coupled with the fact that Li Xianjun had even approached him, Li Xianjun was really courting death!

Of course, the Enlightened Sword Heart wasn’t invincible. If Li Xianjun had executed the Earth Rank technique flawlessly, then it would be impossible for Yang Ye to destroy it so easily. Simply speaking, the strength of the Enlightened Sword Heart mainly depended on the level one’s opponent had cultivated a certain technique!

Even though very few people were capable of cultivating a technique to perfection, it didn’t represent that there were none!
