Chapter 363: Becoming Grand Elder(2)

Ye Chen didn't need to turn around. Within the perception of his soul power, an old man in grey robes had flown over from the middle of the Bewilderment Fog Island, but his high speed didn't produce a trace of air-cleaving sound. It seemed as if the flowing air not only didn't hinder him, it instead propelled him forward.
Extreme Wind Mentality!
”To attain extreme Astral Reaching realm, every single person indeed possesses their own moves.” In Ye Chen's memories, every single Astral Reaching experts except Shen Tujue had attained extreme mentalities. Of course, Shen Tujue had condensed a martial soul, so how could his battle be not above normal extreme Astral Reaching experts? Absolute power and will could supplement the gap of mentalities.
Amidst the silence, the grey-robed old man called Grand Elder Sun arrived in the air above the hall.
”So, you injured attendant Ma?” Grand Elder Sun coldly stared Ye Chen.
Raising his head, Ye Chen replied, ”You failed to discipline your junior, so he was injured.”
”Too arrogant!”
The City Guard Squad was stupefied.
Grand Elder laughed in fury and said with killing intent in his eyes, ”Failed to discipline my junior? Let me have a look as to what makes you so arrogant.”
A silver colored pike appeared in his hand before Grand Elder Sun and rushed down head-first. He stabbed with his pike, tearing apart the sky as if poking a huge dark hole.
Quick!
Astonishingly quick!
From the moment silver pike had appeared to the moment it had stabbed at Ye Chen, it had all happened within a snap of fingers. Many individuals couldn't even trace the movements with their eyes.
Clang!
He was quick, but Ye Chen was even quicker. Unsheathing the Destruction sword, he directly pointed it towards the pike's tip. It was smooth and simple, like a breeze, like drifting clouds, quick to the point of being illusory.
Even though the two seemed as if crossing blows casually, the destructive power brought about could only be termed as frightening. The huge Assignment Hall was razed to the ground, wiped from the face of the island. The surrounding City Guard Squad members spat out blood as they retreated with appalled faces.
”So fast, actually faster than my pike!” Grand Elder Sun was startled. His expertise lay in wind mentality, and his every move was astonishingly fast. However, Ye Chen could block his suddenly issued full power strike, and apparently with some strength to spare.
”As far as wind mentality is concerned, this person is number one among those I have seen. But, to be faster than me, it is still lacking. Fast mentality is purely fast, without a trace of impurity, whereas the fast concept that wind mentality contains can't be pure.”
After exchanging blows, Grand Elder Sun's battle power and specialties laid bare in front of Ye Chen.
”Your sword is really fast. Take my move, Flowing Wind Nine Pikes!”
Sha! Sha!
Grand Elder's previous attack made no sound, but at this moment, his pike's speed had reached the peak. Sharp air-piercing sounds stung the ears as he issued three strikes in a flash. The third strike seemed almost at the same moment as the second, seeming as if he'd only issued two strikes.
”Four Swift Sword Strikes!”
Clang, Clang, Clang!
Peng!
The first three strikes counteracted the spear strikes, and the fourth swiftly attacked the former's Protective True Yuan.
Pop!
The Protective True Yuan was slashed open, and Grand Elder Sun flew back with a pale face and blood at the corner of his mouth.
Four Swift Sword Strikes had restrained the Flowing Wind Nine Pikes!
Flowing Wind Nine Pikes had also issued three spear strikes, but the fourth sword strike was much quicker and much more coordinated, allowing no time for the fourth spear strike.
”Grand Elder Sun is injured!”
Elder White and Elder Lu Song shook their heads in a complete loss.
”Damn it! How could he be so much faster than me?” A swift sword would have an equivalently low might. Therefore, Grand Elder Sun had only received light injuries, which didn't affect his battle power. However, in terms of speed which he'd been the proudest of, he had been completely outdone by Ye Chen, making him unusually furious.
”Roar! Go die!”
Stamping a deep ditch in the ground, Grand Elder Sun shot up, condensing wind mentality as well as metal mentality on the spear. The two kinds of mentalities complemented each other. It cast aside the speed and transformed into an invincible assault power.
”Sun Nian, why don't you stay your hand?”
A huge yellow-colored earth True Yuan palm suppressed Grand Elder Sun back. Even though Elder Sun hadn't built up his full power, even a casual attack of an extreme Astral Reaching expert could seriously injure a peak Astral Reaching expert. Even though he wasn't ready with his peak power, he shouldn't have been suppressed this easily.
”What a fine ability to grasp perfect timing! The palm suppressed him exactly the moment his spear aura was about to be released, saving a lot of strength.”
Without even thinking, Ye Chen knew that an island master had made his appearance. Only an Astral Reaching Paragon could suppress an extreme Astral Reaching expert in such a casual manner.
The sky distorted, and a figure appeared thirty steps away from Ye Chen.
He was wearing a yellow-colored robe, and both his hands rested behind his back. His dry yellow cheeks seemed to carry something special. The ripples emitted by True Yuan in his body were deeply concealed, making one indistinctly feel a terrifying sensation, as if a dormant volcano could erupt at any time, burning everything in its wake.
”Sub Island Master Wang!” Grand Elder Sun said in indignation.
The yellow-faced man waved his hand, ”You don't need to say anything, go back. I'll handle this matter impartially. The rest of you should go back as well.”
”Yes!”
The City Guard Squad orderly retreated.
Grand Elder Sun sighed inwardly. Sub Island Master Wang's words implied that he wouldn't make things difficult for Ye Chen. Otherwise, there was no need to have the others leave. He would have killed the latter on the spot.
”Yes, Sun Nian shall withdraw!”
