Chapter 244 – Death! (2/2)

When he glanced towards the surroundings and noticed they were all puzzled, Yang Ye nodded slightly. Earlier, the reason he hadn’t revealed his Enlightened Sword Heart right at the beginning was that he hoped that he could keep it as a trump card of his. So, he’d been constantly waiting for an opportunity. Finally, Li Xianjun had executed a technique that concealed the arena from the vision of everyone else in the outside world!

If Li Xianjun knew that Yang Ye had attained the Enlightened Sword Heart, then he wouldn’t utilize a technique against Yang Ye no matter what. The reason the Founding Ancestor of the Sword Sect had reigned supreme throughout the world all those years ago was the Enlightened Sword Heart. At that time, countless experts didn’t dare execute any techniques with terrifying offensive abilities in front of him!

Of course, if others knew that Yang Ye had attained the Enlightened Sword Heart, then it would be impossible for Yang Ye to be alone now. However, there was an even higher chance that Yang Ye would have ceased to exist. Because he truly had too many enemies. Especially the Flower Palace. If the Flower Palace found out that he’d attained the Enlightened Sword Heart, then an Exalt Realm expert or even numerous Exalt Realm experts would probably a.s.sa.s.sinate him as soon as the Ascension Rankings came to an end….

The Flower Palace was an extraordinary power of the southern territory, and its resources and reserves were merely inferior to the Origin School and Grand Qin Empire. However, no matter how bold they were, they wouldn’t dare to let Yang Ye’s growth continue. The Enlightened Sword Heart, especially when it was possessed by a genius in the Sword Dao that had grown to maturity, then it would truly be too terrifying.

Once Yang Ye’s attainment of the Enlightened Sword heart was exposed, then those powers that were hostile to him like the Origin School, Flower Palace, and Ghost Sect would definitely not allow him to continue living. So, since the very beginning, Yang Ye hadn’t dared to easily expose his attainment of the Enlightened Sword Heart!

Simply speaking, the truly terrifying aspect of Yang Ye actually wasn’t his Sword Control Technique, the Sword Intent he’d comprehended, or the sword chest he possessed. The truly terrifying aspect was his Enlightened Sword Heart.

Those that attained the Enlightened Sword Heart could destroy all techniques with a single strike of the sword. This wasn’t just a baseless saying!

“Impossible…. Impossible….” As he gazed at Li Xianjun’s corpse that had been split apart by Yang Ye, Kugu seemed to have lost his soul and muttered in a low voice.

It wasn’t just Kugu, all the others on the wall and the countless partic.i.p.ating profounders below the arena were puzzled. They were puzzled about why Yang Ye was able to survive an Earth Rank technique and split Li Xianjun into two with a single flick of his sword.

It was an Earth Rank technique! Moreover, it was an Earth Rank technique executed by Li Xianjun who’d comprehended Slaughter Intent. Countless people in the surroundings were puzzled and shocked.

Of course, not a single one of them had thought that Yang Ye had attained the Enlightened Sword Heart. No one in the southern territory had comprehended it since the founding ancestor of the Sword Sect! So, not a single one of them had thought about it. At this moment, they were thinking about whether Yang Ye had executed some sort of mysterious and formidable sword technique!

Amidst the shocked and puzzled gazes from the surroundings, Yang Ye walked down the arena, and then he glanced at the judge who was still in shock. The judge immediately recovered from his shock, and then he gulped down a mouthful of saliva before he announced. “The Sword Sect’s Yang Ye is victorious!”

When they heard the judge, countless people returned to their senses, and then they gazed at Yang Ye while they discussed animatedly.

“How could this be possible? How could this be possible? How did he kill the Ghost Sect’s Li Xianjun? Moreover, he’s completely unharmed. Could it be a Heaven Rank combat technique of legend?”

“It might be. Did all of you notice how calm he was since the beginning? As one of the six great powers, the Sword Sect definitely possesses a Heaven Rank technique. So, the Sword Sect definitely gave it to Yang Ye, and it allowed Yang Ye to split Li Xianjun into two while facing Li Xianjun’s Earth Rank technique!”

“So, Yang Ye has cultivated a Heaven Rank technique….”

“A Heaven Rank technique?” On the wall of the Imperial Palace, Yuan Tong immediately shook his head and laughed upon hearing this. He said, “Ignorant fellows. Not to mention whether the Sword Sect even possesses a Heaven Rank technique, even if it did, could Yang Ye be able to cultivate it? The difficulty of cultivating a Heaven Rank technique is more than 10 times that of an Earth Rank technique!”

Qing Yun’zi who stood by Yuan Tong’s side nodded and said, “It was absolutely not a Heaven Rank technique. Once a Heaven Rank technique is executed, it would immediately take control of all the energy in the surroundings. However, besides the fluctuations of energy caused by the Monstrous Baleful Energy technique that Li Xianjun executed, there were no other unusual energy fluctuations in the surroundings. So, he absolutely hadn’t executed other mysterious sword techniques!”

Yuan Tong smiled indifferently and said, “No matter what his trump card is, it’s nothing to worry about! No one can stop me from attaining the t.i.tle of Martial G.o.d!”

Qing Yun’zi nodded lightly. He was very clearly aware of Yuan Tong’s strength, and he didn’t feel like Yuan Tong was boasting. Because there really weren’t many in the younger generation who could be a match for Yuan Tong, and if it was based on the strength Yang Ye had revealed at this moment, then Yang Ye still didn’t possess the qualifications to be a match for Yuan Tong!

Right at this moment, Kugu suddenly leaped down from the wall and descended onto the area. After that, he gazed at the judge who just announced the outcome of the battle and said, “There’s something fishy about this battle. I suspect that Yang Ye utilized an external source of strength.”

The judge frowned when he heard this, and then he gazed at Yang Ye. Truthfully speaking, he felt that there was something odd about this battle as well. However, he didn’t have any proof that Yang Ye had utilized an external source of strength. Since he had no proof, then he couldn’t do anything to Yang Ye or declare the battle from before as void. These were the rules of the Ascension Rankings!

“Everyone knows that a mysterious King Rank Darkbeast is in your possessed. I suspect that mysterious King Rank Darkbeast a.s.sisted you just now. Otherwise, with the strength you possess, how could you have resisted the might of that Earth Rank technique and annihilated my Ghost Sect’s Li Xianjun?” Kugu spoke in a deep voice. He’d intentionally enhanced his voice with his profound energy, allowing everyone in the square to hear him clearly.
