Chapter 282 – Withstand A Strike Of My Sword? (2/2)

Meanwhile, Luo Xue said, “She’s very right. Yang Ye, I know that you can surmount realms of cultivation to do battle, and you even possessed stronger trump cards. However, I have to tell you that even if you utilize that Dao Artifact once more, you who hasn’t advanced into the King Realm would definitely lose. Out of consideration for ‘it’, I’ll allow you to leave, and we can have a fair fight once you advance into the King Realm in the future!”

“Perhaps you’re right….” Yang Ye smiled, and then he said with a serious expression, “But I have very few friends, and I just found one with great difficulty. How could I just watch as she dies? So, I intend to give it a try!”

“A friend?” Luo Xue shook his head and smiled, and then he pointed at Liu Weiwei and Cai Yanyan as he said, “Yang Ye, you seem to have taken all of this for granted. Just ask them, have they taken you to be their friend? Even if they say that they have, would you believe it? All of this is one-sided right now, understand?”

“Perhaps!” Yang Ye said with a smile on his face, “But I still intend to act in this way!”

“Give me a reason!” said Luo Xue in a low voice.

“A reason?” Yang Ye shook his head and said, “At many times, there’s no need for a reason when we do something, right? Besides that, whether they’ve taken me to be a friend of theirs isn’t important to me. What’s important is that I’m willing to take them as my friends, and that’s enough for me! At the very least, they were my friends earlier, and they are my friends right now. As for the future, that’s something for the future!”

Both of them went silent when they heard Yang Ye. Had they taken Yang Ye to be their friend? The answer was no. As for the reason, there were truly too many reasons. For example, they’d just met Yang Ye, they were members of the northern territory while Yang Ye was from the southern territory…. In short, as far as they were concerned, friends.h.i.+p was something that was gradually formed through a period of getting along with each other and possessing similar interests and goals….

However, Yang Ye had taken them to be his friends because of something they’d done without giving it any thought. Moreover, he was even willing to risk his life to help them. This caused both of them to be puzzled and bewildered!

Luo Xue gazed at Yang Ye for a short while before he said, “You don’t care about the thoughts of the world and only act according to your heart. Now, I slightly understand why you were able to comprehend 4th level Sword Intent and the Enlightened Sword Heart! Fine, out of consideration for ‘it’, I’ll let the two of them go if you’re able to withstand a punch of mine without moving backward. What do you think? Of course, if you’re unable to withstand it, then you can die along with the two of them!”

“I’ll do it!” Meanwhile, Liu Weiwei suddenly walked over to stand by Yang Ye’s side, and she glanced at Yang Ye before she said, “Third Rank Sect of the Northern Territory, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Liu Weiwei!”

Yang Ye was stunned, and then he smiled and said, “I don’t have many friends. You’ll be one from today onward!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Luo Xue before he said, “I know that you’re very strong, and I know that you weren’t bragging just now. However, why would I, Yang Ye, need someone to make concessions for me? Withstand a punch of yours without moving backward? How about we change the rules?”

“What do you mean!?” said Luo Xue in a low voice.

“HAHA!!” Yang Ye roared with laughter, and then he said, “If you’re able to withstand a strike of my sword without moving backward, then you can do as you please with the three of us. What do you think about that?”

Luo Xue’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said in a low voice, “Yang Ye, could it be that you think that you’re extremely formidable because you seized the 1st position on the Ascension Rankings and defeated Yuan Tong!? I admit that if you attained the King Realm, then the chances of victory in a battle between the two of us would be 70:30. However, you’re only at the First Heaven Realm, so as I said before, I’ll still be able to kill you even if you utilize that Dao Artifact!”

“Why don’t we give it a try then?” said Yang Ye.

“As you wis.h.!.+” Luo Xue spoke in a low voice, and then he suddenly stomped the ground with his right foot. Suddenly, the entire ground suddenly trembled violently like it was an earthquake! On the other hand, Luo Xue himself had instantly shot forward towards Yang Ye like a bolt of lightning. His speed was so swift that both Liu Weiwei and Cai Yanyan were unable to see his figure clearly!

At the instant that Luo Xue had moved, Yang Ye had flipped his palm, and then a low-grade Earth Rank sword had appeared in his hand. After that, the profound energy within his Dantian started circulating madly. In an instant, all the profound energy within his Dantian had surged violently into his sword. Moreover, his 4th level Sword Intent had even instantly sprayed out and wrapped around his sword. Once this was done, he added on the physical strength that he possessed before he slashed his sword down forcefully towards Luo Xue!

When facing this mysterious Shapes.h.i.+fted Darkbeast, Yang Ye really didn’t dare be careless at all. However, he still didn’t utilize the Nether Ghostflames and 5th level Sword Intent. Yang Ye was confident that if he utilized any one of them, then blasting Luo Xue back would definitely be an extremely easy task. However, after a moment of hesitation, he’d chosen not to utilize them in the end!

They were his greatest trump cards right now. If he utilized them now, then they wouldn’t be trump cards anymore. Especially the Nether Ghostflames, he would absolutely not utilize it unless he was confident in his ability to kill his opponent. Because once he utilized it, it was very likely that it would bring down calamity upon him!

Under the astounded gazes of the two women, Yang Ye’s sword and Luo Xue’s fist collided forcefully with each other!

Bang!

A world shaking bang instantly resounded. At the same time, the ground where both of them stood had instantly collapsed….
