611 Lived Up to the Reputations (1/2)
All of a sudden, everyone was looking at Ye Chen. Those who had never seen him in person had finally seen him for the first time. As one of the top three martial geniuses, Dantai Mingyue looked over before looking at Murong Qingcheng.
”Brother Ye, someone is finally challenging you.” Hai Wuya said with a laughter.
Ling Tianhao said, ”Ye Chen, don't lose!”
Although he did not think Ye Chen's power had reached beyond his head disciple Yan Fengfeng, who normally fought in her human form, since he was able to beat Lin Tian, he knew that Ye Chen would have something up his sleeves. This Lan Xieqing was only slightly more powerful than Lin Tian, so Ye Chen might have a winning chance.
”Lan Xieqing has a lot of thoughts. Just like his battling style, it is very tricky and unpredictable. Since he has made this ten movement battle thing, then he definitely wants to get the upper hand in those ten exchanges so that the crowd will think that he is more powerful than you.” Yan Fengfeng had seen through Lan Xieqing, so she reminded Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, ”That ten attack thing is either because he is not confident enough, or he is just too full of it. I really hope it is the latter.”
”What? Ye Chen, you do not dare to take on my challenge?” Lan Xieqing waved his fan as he walked out.
Ye Chen's body extended, and he lightly floated down the mountain, stepping onto the surface of the lake. A light pattern appeared as he said, ”The ten exchange deal is perfect for me. Let's do this quickly.”
”Great! I would like to see exactly how powerful is one of the top five young warriors.”
In the end, Lan Xieqing was very unhappy about being stepped down. But, just as Yan Fengfeng had said, he was full of schemes. If Ye Chen were really powerful, then he would be other people's stepping stone, which would not be something he wanted. Therefore, he offered the ten-exchange deal. Even if he did not get the upper hand, he would not have lost it.
Whoo!
Lan Xieqing performed his flying art, shooting directly toward the lake. And even before he got there, he was still waving his fan. If one ignored that hint of evilness, he was actually looking quite like a gentleman.
In the middle of the nine dragon lake, the two stood hundred meters away from each other.
”Leader Mo, this Ye Chen is also a sword user. I wonder what kind of level he is at right now.” The speaker was a master of a rank 6 martial institution in the Flowy Snow Region. He was talking to the Sword Master, the leader of the Flowy Snow Martial School.
”Although the ten exchanges are quite short, but we should be able to see something.”
Sword Master was very emotional. Earlier on when Ye Chen was being chased by the Ao warriors, he had flown past the Flowy Snow Martial School. Back then, she could have killed all of those powerful warriors with her one sword attack. But now, after a couple of years, that martial genius had already grown to her level.
”Ye Chen, take this!”
On the lake, Lan Xieqing's body flashed as he approached Ye Chen in a curved line. The fan in his hand had been lifted up and waved out to release unpredictable shadows.
Chin!
At the same time, Ye Chen took out his gold sword and welcomed the attack.
Their first exchange was to test each other's power. Therefore, it was not that visually impactful. But, the killing intent was rather obvious. Once they could not handle their opponent's attack, even the simplest attack would be able to act as a fatal one.
”Fog Dream Flow!”
Lan Xieqing was an expert of the fog profound. He formed a spell with his left hand, and an endless thick fog appeared, spreading out with him being the center. Soon, it drowned Ye Chen within, turning the whole area into an ocean of fog.
”What the hell! How can we watch?”
Once Lan Xieqing performed his attack, someone from the crowd shouted out. Normal fog could not block out soul power detection, but the fog was generated with the profound sense, which would cancel out most of the soul power. Even though not all soul power would be canceled, but it would still cause them to miss some of the important details.
Fog flowers formed as Lan Xieqing stepped on them, moving extremely quickly toward Ye Chen without a sound. Each movement and step of his was extremely bizarre and indescribable. If normal warriors had a common healthy way of training martial art, then this Lan Xieqing would be walking on another path. And that would be his unique winning point.
It was Ye Chen's first time fighting this type of a warrior. After the first couple of exchanges, he had a general understanding of the other's battling style.
”Break!”
He threw out a beam of pure sword qi which shattered the thick fog, separating the lake water.
”Haha! It is useless! Close!”
Lan Xieqing was secretly surprised by Ye Chen's observation, since he had not only broken open his attack, but also thrown out another attack, shattering the thick fog.
”Speed Sword Hell!”
Ye Chen looked exactly the same. He had made it out from the foggy forbidden place before, and this fog attack from Lan Xieqing was just a basic version of that. He shook his wrist as he performed his fastest sword art. The sharp sword qi filled up within the thick fog before spreading out in all directions.
Looking from the outside, the whole area turned into a massive hedgehog within thousand meters of radius. The narrow sword qi was both fast and sharp.
Huh!
A groan was heard within that thick fog before a human figure was blown out. Everyone looked over and found it to be Lan Xieqing. Right then, he was looking rather sh*tty. A light footprint had appeared on his chest.
Lan Xieqing forced himself to swallow the blood that was rising up his throat. Although Ye Chen's step did not come with any powerful martial art, the power behind it was enough to break through his protective Zhen yuan. It even followed through the armor and got into his physical body, causing severe internal damage.
”Ye Chen, I have indeed underestimated you! That was me being reckless.” Lan Xieqing had a bad look on his face.
Stepping on the lake water, Ye Chen slowly walked out the fog as he said, ”Right now, it has been seven exchanges. You only have three left.”
