Chapter 33 – Forbidden Swords (2/2)

There was a blade above, below, left, and right of Ye Zhong, dodging was no longer an option.

“In this case… ” Ye Zhong evaluated his situation. His eyes brightened up, Qi and will-force came pouring out as he came up with an idea. He was so familiar with this stance, the eight-one runes were almost engraved into Ye Zhong’s mind from his training. Therefore it took him less than a second to finish drawing the sequence.

The runes lit up around his body, emitting a crystal clear glow as they intertwined into three ancient double edged spirit swords. Each of the swords were engraved on their fullers with mysterious runes, giving off an desolate aura.

“High level forbidden Spirit stance, Triple Plunder Sword!”

Ye Wei and Ye Zhong refined three stances in total: Spindrift Step, Triple Plunder Sword, and White Tiger’s Assault. They all became more powerful, but the refinement was a bit different with Triple Plunder Sword. Not only did Ye Wei made it more powerful, but he also reduced the recoil so it would not hurt the user as much as other forbidden stances would.

Performing it once or twice was fine, but the stance might still harm whoever used it too often.

Now that Du Han Yue sealed all the escape routes, retaliation was Ye Zhong’s only way out!

Ye Zhong trod on the dusty ground while pointing his fingers at the four phantom blades. What followed was a razor sharp pressure wave, and his spirit swords flew out in a flash towards the blood red phantom blades.

The three spirit swords were on a course to collide with the four phantom blades. They too carved marks into the ground on their path as if their shadows had a cutting edge.

“Clang!”

Forbidden technique was more than just a title; the spirit swords were very powerful. The four phantom blades were repulsed by two spirit swords as the last sword flew straight at Du Han Yue.

“Forbidden stance!”

It became apparent to Du Yue Ming and the spectators that Triple Plunder Sword was a forbidden stance when they saw that just one sword was powerful enough to block two peak high level phantom blades. Both the Ye and Du family could not hide how surprised they were as both had the same facial expression.

A Ye who practised forbidden stances! It was shocking news to both families not only because of the strength of these techniques, but also due to the dangers it brings. Furthermore, Ye Zhong was the strongest youngster with a bright future ahead of him. It made little sense that he should use a forbidden stance given their reputation of having a life threatening recoil.

Even though Du Han Yue was a six star Warrior, his cultivation advantage didn’t play a big part in this Mystic stance showdown. His crimson phantom blades could not compete with the forbidden swords, therefore they were destroyed and turned into red smoke upon impact.

However the Qi and will-force of a six star Warrior was on another level. Although Du Han Yue’s stance was a level lower, Ye Zhong’s two spirit blades were shattered by the phantom blades that were made from denser Qi.

The clash of Qi swords and blades turned into a screen of dust and smoke. From the smokescreen came Ye Zhong’s last spirit sword. It flew towards Du Han Yue with frightening, penetrating momentum.

It tore through the air travelling at a furious speed while creating an explosive, and piercing whistling sound. It didn’t matter if Du Han Yue had a cultivation advantage, the speed of the forbidden sword made it undodgeable.

“Get him!” Ye Zhong said with wide open eyes and the intention to kill..
