Chapter 262 – The King Realm! Sword Spirit! (1/2)

The battle between Yang Ye and Yuan Tong had arrived at its climax. At this moment, Yang Ye who held Violet Spirit in his right hand had executed the Sword Sect’s Basic Sword Technique to the acme of perfection. In the opinions of the others, it wasn’t a Yellow Rank technique anymore, and it was an Earth Rank sword technique. Moreover, at this moment, Yang Ye fully displayed the might of the Sword Control Technique!

Yes, at the same time he was utilizing the Basic Sword Technique against Yuan Tong, the Green Darkness sword had transformed into a green ray of light that ceaselessly attacked Yuan Tong. It could be said that Yuan Tong wasn’t just fighting Yang Ye alone, and he was fighting two people! Because the Green Darkness sword which Yang Ye controlled revealed a might that wasn’t inferior to another First Heaven Realm expert!

Even though the spectators didn’t really like Yang Ye, they had no choice but to feel admiration towards Yang Ye’s sword techniques. Especially the Sword Control Technique because in their opinions, the Green Darkness sword simply seemed as if it had come to life….

Even though Yang Ye had gained the upper hand in the battle, his expression grew more and more solemn. Because he noticed that Yuan Tong was still able to resist him with ease even when he was attacking in unison with the Sword Control Technique. Yuan Tong’s combat instinct was something that even he, Yang Ye, had to admire!

At this moment, Yuan Tong’s expression was extremely solemn as well. Even though he’d relied on his extraordinary combat instinct to repeatedly avoid Yang Ye’s lethal strikes, he knew that he would definitely fall into an extremely disadvantageous position if this were to continue! Because Yang Ye who possessed the physical defense of a King Rank Darkbeast could be said to be in an invincible position!

Yuan Tong’s eyes narrowed slightly when he thought up to here. He suddenly slapped his right palm against the Violet Spirit sword that Yang Ye had slashed down towards him, and then he relied on the counterforce to retreat around 15m back and withdraw from the battle.

When he saw Yuan Tong stop, Yang Ye stopped as well. Because he noticed the same problem that Yuan Tong had noticed, and that problem was that it was utterly impossible to finish Yuan Tong off by relying solely on close quartered combat with the Basic Sword Technique. The reason for this was that Yuan Tong’s combat instinct was truly too terrifying.

As he gazed at Yang Ye, Yuan Tong let out a light breath of air before he said, “I never expected that you would be able to pressure me to such an extent. Yang Ye, you can feel proud of yourself. But now, you don’t have a chance to win anymore!” As soon as he finished speaking, a strand of a terrifying imposing aura suddenly swept out like a tornado from within Yuan Tong’s body.

“The King Realm?” The expression on Su Qings.h.i.+’s beautiful face changed when she saw this scene, and she cried out involuntarily.

Yu Heng who stood by her side was shocked as well, but he quickly shook his head and said, “It isn’t the King Realm, and it’s only the Half-step King Realm…. I never imagined that Yuan Tong has actually transformed a portion of the profound energy within his body into true essence and has attained the Half-step King Realm. The Half-step King Realm before the age of 20. Such natural talent can’t be described with just the word terrifying….”

“Only experts below the King Realm are able to partic.i.p.ate in the Ascension Rankings. He’s already attained the Half-step King Realm, so does it violate the rules?” said Su Qings.h.i.+ in a low voice.

Yu Heng shook his head and said, “It doesn’t violate the rules. The Half-step King Realm is still below the King Realm….”

Su Qings.h.i.+’s face sank when she heard this. Even though the gaps between experts at the King Realm and First Heaven Realm couldn’t be described as being like the gap between the heavens and the earth. There was no doubt that King Realm experts had numerous advantages when compared to First Heaven Realm experts. The greatest difference was that once one attained the King Realm, the profound energy within the body would undergo a qualitative transformation and become true essence. This true essence was naturally very much stronger than the profound energy possessed by First Heaven Realm profounders!

If it was any other ordinary King Realm expert, then Yang Ye naturally had no reason to be too fearful of that expert. However, was Yuan Tong an ordinary King Realm expert? Even though he was merely at the Half-step King Realm and only a portion of the profound energy within his body had been transformed into true essence, one couldn’t forget that he was an extraordinarily monstrous genius. Surmounting realms to do battle was extremely normal for him, yet now he had the advantage of a higher realm of cultivation. So, was it possible for him to allow another to surmount the gap in their realms of cultivation to defeat him?

The answer was that it was practically impossible. This was what Su Qings.h.i.+ thought at this moment, and it was also the reason why her expression was gloomy.

On the other side, Qing Yun’zi was slightly stunned when he saw Yuan Tong erupt with the imposing aura of a Half-step King Realm. Obviously, even he didn’t know that Yuan Tong had attained the Half-step King Realm. But in next to no time, the gloomy expression on his face had started to transform into a bright smile. Yuan Tong could be said to be on par with Yang Ye while he hadn’t displayed his cultivation at the Half-step King Realm. Now that Yuan Tong had utilized his cultivation at the Half-step King Realm, it meant that Yuan Tong had a comparatively larger advantage!

“It truly is full of twists and turns!” Li Si gazed at Yuan Tong and said, “I never expected that Yuan Tong actually concealed his cultivation. The Half-step King Realm before the age of 20. How many years has it been since someone like this has appeared in the southern territory?”

“Since the Founding Ancestor of the Origin School, there hasn’t been another figure like him!” Meanwhile, Bai Qi suddenly spoke from the side.

Li Si shook his head lightly, and then he looked at Yang Ye and said, “I wonder if he has some other shocking trump card! If he doesn’t, then the outcome is decided!”

At this moment, everyone was looking at Yang Ye because they wanted to see if Yang Ye had some sort of trump card. After all, Yang Ye had seemed to be always able to pleasantly surprise them throughout the compet.i.tion.
