61 Reunion (2/2)

”Let's take this up a notch...” Ye Yuyan chuckled as he violently bit his tongue causing it to bleed. He condensed the blood onto his tongue and spit out a drop of blood and dripped it onto the dagger.

”Blood Moon, Awaken!” He roared as the black dagger shown with nomological lines as it elongated turning into a thin dual-edged sword.

Ye Yuyan gripped the sword with his right hand and he swung it down once. The swooshing motion sliced the air in half and suddenly created a vacuum. The air gushed towards the gash in the air whipping the wind into a crazed frenzy.

”You disdain my kingdom yet you dare bring a sword before me?” The king coldly sneered ”Let me show you the might of The Sword Venerable!”

Electrical currents gathered towards his palm again transforming into a hiltless long sword made of pure lightning. The king's body crackled with lightning as the sword forces in thousands of meters stirred around him.

As the sword forces gathered toward the king, a violet hue appeared on his body. The violet hue shifted constantly transforming into various swords, this was the Verulyim king's sword intent!

Sword intent and sword forces are two different things. Sword force is an esoteric force of nature that the Sword Venerable first harnessed.

Sword intent is the swordsman's comprehension of the sword force and after reaching a certain level it can take physical form and boost a swordsman's attacks.

Ye Yuyan silently raised his sword and pointed it at the Verulyim king. The red sword shone with a murderous light and stirred the sword force and brought forth a sea of blood.

Blood red sword forces and deep blue sword forces shot towards each other separating Ye Yuyan and the king. Ye Yuyan's body shone with a golden glow as his sword intent manifested taking on the form of hundreds of different weapons as it wrapped around his body.

The two sword forces and sword intent clashed against each other at the border of powers. With each clash, Ye Yuyan and the king would adjust their sword force and change their stance. Often with high-level swordsmen, the battle starts before the first sword swing.

The blood forces crashed into the lightning force, when suddenly the lightning force seethed with excitement and purified the blood force, Ye Yuyan moved to change his stance and took a single retreating step.

At that instant, the Verulyim king's eyes shone with murderous intent and he suddenly flashed across the battlefield. Ye Yuyan's eyes crackled with lightning as he instantly adjusted his stance and raised his sword to guard, when suddenly!

Ka-Cha!

The Verulyim king's sword came slashing down onto Ye Yuyan's sword. Ye Yuyan mustered his sword intent as the golden intent wrapped around his sword increasing its hardness.

”Here's another!” The Verulyim king roared as he slashed at Ye Yuyan.

”Arrghhh!” Ye Yuyan growled as he resisted the Verulyim's king sword slash. Ye Yuyan took his sword and shifted to the left, redirecting the Verulyim king's sword.

The lightning sword crashed into the ground and exploding it into rubble. Amidst the debris, Ye Yuyan's body flashed away turning into a streak of lightning.

”You're not getting away!” The Verulyim king yelled as lightning surrounded him and his body flashed behind Ye Yuyan and raised his sword to cut him down.

Ye Yuyan gritted his teeth and slashed behind him rebounding the king's sword and turning into a blue streak again.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Ye Yuyan and the Verulyim king flashed across the plains exchanging sword slashes at unimaginably high speeds.

Emily, Song Yue, Maven, and Su Yan struggled to follow their movements and could only tell the battle was happening from the sounds and destruction. Only the Ghost Hands Doctor watched the battle with a keen eye following their every move.

”How can Ye Yuyan keep up with my father?!?” Emily asked with wide eyes as she tried to contain her shock.

”Don't worry your Highness, It won't last for long...” Ghost Hands cryptically replied, surprising Emily even more.

”Can you see them?!?” She asked with narrow eyes but before the doctor could respond. The world of blood sword force suddenly collapsed as the blue Qi suddenly engulfed it.

With that Ye Yuyan's body flashed back into existence as he collapsed onto the ground. He stuck his sword into the ground and took long and deep breaths.

”Weak! Your sword lacks a personality, you can't possibly beat me with that.” The Verulyim king's ethereal voice echoed from the sword force as his body flashed back into existence.

On his blue toga were various sword marks and on his pristine young face was a small gash across his cheek.

”Heh, Mercer you're right... he can't beat you with just his sword.” A voice whispered from the void directly into the Verulyim king's ears.

Mercer's eyes suddenly filled with shock as he turned and look around until he finally asked: ”Who's there?!?”

At the top of the snowy mountain peak, space rippled and distorted as a beautiful woman dressed in a frilly white dress emerged. She had serenely calm blue eyes and white, luscious hair that reached down to her waist.

”Madam Qian!” The Verulyim king exclaimed, he instantly cupped his fist and bowed to her. The fairy-like woman stepped on the air with her jade feet and glided down with her white hair floating in the wind.

In an instant, she was in plains under the shadow of the mountain standing before the Verulyim king and Ye Yuyan.

”You've done your due diligence, Mercer.” The fairy replied, ”You may leave now.”

The beautiful woman turned away from the shocked Verulyim king and stared at Ye Yuyan with cold and resentful eyes.
