Chapter 256 – What If I Gained The 1st? (1/2)

Yang Ye’s expression turned slightly solemn. He would never underestimate any opponent, let alone Lin Xiuran who was Daoist Zui’s disciple. With Daoist Zui’s strength and resources, how inferior could the combat techniques cultivated by his disciple be? Perhaps it was impossible for Lin Xiuran to possess a Heaven Rank technique, but a mid-grade Earth Rank or high-grade Earth Rank technique was extremely likely!

Yang Ye took a deep breath while he took a step forward, and then the profound energy within his body instantly started roiling. After that, he said, “Come, let me see exactly what combat technique allows you to feel such confidence!”

“Haha!!” Lin Xiuran roared with laughter. He laughed for a while before he suddenly moved his hands and formed a strange seal before his chest. As soon as he formed the seal, strands of white colored sword qi surged ceaselessly from the hilt of his sword to the tip of it. However, when the strands of sword qi arrived at the tip of the black iron sword, they strangely stopped moving, and then they formed into a fist sized ball of white light….

“Sword qi converging at the tip of the sword. A thousand strands of sword qi transforming into one….” As he gazed at Lin Xiuran’s actions on the arena, Qing Yun’zi said in a low voice, “This is the sword technique Daoist Zui is famous for, the Infinite Flash Sword! Lin Xiuran is actually Daoist Zui’s disciple! What a surprise!”

“The might of this sword technique is extraordinary. However, I wonder how many percent of its might he’s able to display!” Yuan Tong spoke flatly from Qing Yun’zi’s side.

“Of course it’s extraordinary. Even though it’s a mid-grade Earth Rank technique, its might isn’t inferior to a high-grade Earth Rank technique at all. Not to mention that Lin Xiuran has comprehended Sword Intent. So, while it’s impossible for him to bring forth 100% of its might, he should be able to display at least 70 or 80% of it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bragged like he had just now!” said Qing Yun’zi in an indifferent tone.

Yuan Tong smiled, and then he said, “I look forward to seeing how Yang Ye will deal with it!”

At the moment she saw Lin Xiuran execute this combat technique, Su Qings.h.i.+’s beautiful brows couldn’t help but knit together once more while dense worry appeared in her eyes. She’d never imagined that her Martial Uncle Zui would have actually pa.s.sed this technique down to Lin Xiuran. In terms of might, the Infinite Flash Sword was ranked at the top amongst all the Earth Rank techniques of the Sword Sect!

So, how could Yang Ye resist it?

On the arena, the white ball of light on the tip of Lin Xiuran’s black iron sword had transformed from a fist sized ball to a skull sized ball in less than two breaths of time. The energy contained within the white ball of light was extremely terrifying, and the s.p.a.ce around the ball of light shook ceaselessly….

Yang Ye’s expression grew even more solemn as he gazed at the ball of light on the tip of Lin Xiuran’s black iron sword. Because even if they were over 30m apart, he was still able to sense the terrifying energy contained within the ball of light. It could be said that the combat technique Lin Xiuran executed was the most terrifying combat technique he’d witnessed until now. Even though he hadn’t seen this combat technique being launched yet, his intuition had told him all of this.

Yang Ye lightly let out a mouthful of air, and then with a twist of his wrist, he stabbed Violet Spirit into the ground beside him.

The countless spectators in the surroundings were stunned when they witnessed this scene. What’s he trying to do? Admit defeat?

After he stabbed Violet Spirit in the ground, Yang Ye gradually clenched both his palms into fists while the golden profound energy within his body surged like tidewater onto his fists.

Bang!

A light band resounded as the sleeves of Yang Ye’s clothes had instantly exploded into pieces to reveal Yang Ye’s bronze colored arms. As his profound energy surged ceaselessly into them, numerous veins that seemed like little snaked had started to gradually appear on his arms!

In next to no time, Yang Ye’s arms were covered densely in veins, and it seemed extremely terrifying!

At a certain moment in time, Lin Xiuran suddenly pushed forward with his hands that were still maintaining the strange seal from before. “Go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black iron sword and the skull sized ball of white light shot swiftly towards Yang Ye like a ray of light. Everywhere they pa.s.sed, s.p.a.ce shook incessantly as if it was on the verge of shattering into pieces, and the might it revealed was extremely terrifying to the point all the spectators below felt extremely shocked!

Yang Ye’s eyes narrowed when he saw this scene. He pulled his fists back a little, and then he suddenly smashed them forward in the next instant.

“Dragonbreaker!” Along with this shout from Yang Ye, an enormous explosion of the air that sounded like a thunderclap resounded abruptly. The crowd was astounded, and then they looked over towards Yang Ye’s position. They saw two golden fists formed from energy had suddenly appeared in front of Yang Ye, and they were like two cannonb.a.l.l.s. They shot out in single file and were accompanied by explosions of the air as they smashed violently towards the black iron sword and ball of white light!

The air in the surroundings was instantly sucked away wherever, these two golden energy fists pa.s.sed, and even s.p.a.ce showed faint signs of warping!

The expressions of the great figures on the walls of the Imperial Palace changed when they saw Yang Ye execute this technique, and it was even to the extent that the expressions of Bai Qi and Li Si who were the most indifferent before this had changed as well!

The Dragonbreaker was the combat technique that Emperor Zhou was famous for all those years ago! Of course, this wasn’t the reason their expressions had changed, and it was instead because they wondered why Yang Ye knew the Dragonbreaker technique that belonged to Emperor Zhou….

Under the astounded gazes of countless people, the two golden energy fists collided with the white ball of light. After an instant of deathly silence….
