Chapter 62: Chapter 58 Ye Chen's Strength
"Ye Chen has actually comprehended Sword Intent!"
"How is that possible?!"
Sword Intent, the highest realm of swordsmanship training!
Once entering this realm, one can surpass the sword technique itself, breaking free from the constraints of the sword! One can turn everything into a sword, into swordsmanship! Sword Intent, compared to mere sword techniques, can increase in power by several times or even dozens of times more!
Such a realm, rare amongst thousands of sword cultivators, even amongst Spirit Sea Realm experts, there are not many who can achieve it.
To see Ye Chen, amidst his fierce battle with Shi Tian, wielding Sword Intent techniques, how could Zhou Yuntian and Luo Kun not be shocked and even astonished!
Even though the few of them were Spirit Sea Realm experts, none had comprehended the technique of Sword Intent.
Ye Chen had already surprised them time and again!
As the Spirit Sea Realm experts shouted the words Sword Intent, the more than fifty Swords of True Qi unleashed by Ye Chen had already pierced towards Shi Tian.
Watching the Swords of True Qi, shooting at high speed, and the Purple Lightning Sword Light that obliterated the Spire of True Qi in an instant, Shi Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.
Then, he burst into the air, clenching a spell in his palm with force. With a "boom," the ten True Qi Vortices in his Qi Sea shook violently, and a vast surge of True Qi, as mighty as a racing river, swept out of his body once more.
This massive True Qi even formed a couple dozen meters long gigantic azure dragon, encircling Shi Tian, layer upon layer, completely enveloping Shi Tian within the phantom of the True Qi dragon.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Next, the Swords of True Qi controlled by Ye Chen collided with the gigantic azure dragon.
On the Mountain Gate Square, numerous Sect Disciples saw an astonishing sight.
Countless Purple Lightning Sword Lights, like dragon-slaying swords, kept slashing at the roaring True Qi dragon, with waves of sword light surging forth and emitting blinding purple electric glows, even making many Sect Disciples involuntarily close their eyes!
And Shi Tian, continuously slashed at by the sky-full of True Qi Flying Swords, was like a living target, passively enduring the assault!
Only after each Sword of True Qi had fallen no less than a hundred times, reducing the True Qi dragon that hovered around Shi Tian's body to half its original size, did the True Qi on the Swords of True Qi finally deplete.
Ye Chen reached out with a clutch in mid-air, and in the void outside his body, a large swath of True Qi Flying Swords emerged once more. This sky-full of True Qi Flying Swords even reached more than eighty in number, more than and denser than the initial Swords of True Qi!
Then, the Swords of True Qi once again burst toward Shi Tian.
Before Shi Tian could even catch a breath, he saw the True Qi Flying Swords blasting towards him again. He had no choice but to once again surge the True Qi from within his Qi Sea's vortex, turning it into a dragon to protect his body.
Shi Tian, who kept getting hit passively, reddened with frustration. He never imagined that with his ten-layered True Qi Realm, he would actually be suppressed by Ye Chen. This made him feel utterly disgraced, especially in front of the crowd and the several Spirit Sea Realm experts.
"I can't go on like this; I must counterattack!"
Shi Tian gritted his teeth, and as he grasped in the air, a seven or eight-meter-long black spear suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, the True Qi dragon coiled around Shi Tian directly lunged with the spear in mid-air, and a dozen or so meters long gigantic spear shadow immediately emerged and sped towards Ye Chen.
In an instant, the spear shadow pierced through a dozen-meter gap to appear right in front of Ye Chen.
At the moment Shi Tian unleashed his spear skill, a spark flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. True Qi surged out from his body once more, transforming directly into a sky-full of sword rain, clashing head-on with the gigantic spear shadow.
In front of Shi Tian, Purple Lightning True Qi Flying Swords and the True Qi dragon violently collided. Around Ye Chen, a sky-full of sword rain engaged in fierce combat with the gigantic spear shadow.
The entire area occupied by Ye Chen and Shi Tian had turned into a feral ocean of True Qi!
The thunderous roars continued to resound in this wild ocean of True Qi. Merely from the sharp edges of True Qi shooting out of this area, the gigantic green stones laid in the Mountain Gate Square dozens of meters away were directly shattered!
This terrifying battle caused the watching Sect Disciples to retreat dozens of meters again before they could settle down, lest they be inadvertently harmed by the randomly shooting True Qi.
Looking back towards the center, seeing Ye Chen bravely fighting Shi Tian without any fear, they were all deeply shaken in their hearts.
"Is this Ye Chen's strength?"
"Even against a tenth layer True Qi expert, he doesn't fall behind at all?"
Ye Chen's formidable combat power completely surpassed that of a nominal disciple; he was far more formidable than many official disciples!
"Ye Chen's attacking martial skills are indeed extraordinary, able to resist Shi Tian's powerful True Qi oppression with just his Sword Intent techniques!"
"A four-level difference in True Qi Realm, and he's still fighting to a standstill!"
"Heavens... this... this..."
In the sky above, Qingyun Sect's Sect Master Luo Kun and the seven elders watched Ye Chen battling Shi Tian on equal footing, and in their eyes, a hint of regret flashed.
Ye Chen was once their Sect Disciple but was expelled from the Sect by them personally!
At the True Qi five-layer Realm, he was able to counter kill a seven-layer expert! With the six-layer Realm, he managed to comprehend Sword Intent and could even fight on equal terms with a ten-layer expert!
This disciple, a genius that the Qingyun Sect rarely produces in hundreds of years, was actually pushed out by them!
To comprehend Sword Intent, as long as the True Qi Realm keeps up and given time, there is even a great possibility of breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm! They have pushed away a potential Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse!
"If we had been able to protect Ye Chen earlier..."
"Then our Qingyun Sect's strength might have soared to another level!"
Many Qingyun Sect Elders now shook their heads and sighed.
"However, fighting on like this, his True Qi is bound to be exhausted eventually, after all, the True Qi of someone at the sixth layer can't compare to the vastness of the tenth-layer's True Qi!"
In the shock of their hearts, several looked for disadvantages in Ye Chen's current manner of fighting to avoid feeling so regretful.
"To continue fighting like this against Shi Tian?"
"Seeking death!"
Zhou Yuntian, who was on the sidelines, watched Ye Chen crazily attacking Shi Tian; he observed that both of their energies were continuously shrinking amidst these fierce attacks, and a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Shi Tian, who wielded a long spear and drew shocking spear shadows in the air, stirred his spear tip again. The huge spear shadow, which was several meters long, suddenly split into shadows and turned into more than twenty spear lights, exploding towards Ye Chen once more.
His entire attack power surged suddenly, breaking the tense situation of the battle.
"Die, Ye Chen!"
"To die under my strongest attack, the Blood Shadow Spear Skills, you should be content!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within Shi Tian's great roar, his huge spear in the sky traced countless shocking rainbows, causing even the void it pierced through to tremble violently.
The sky-full of Sword Rains bombarding around Ye Chen were shattered by the spear light into many pieces, and Ye Chen's True Qi also began to shrink considerably more than before.
"Is he going to lose?"
"For someone at the sixth layer of True Qi to fight to this extent against someone at the tenth layer, that's already a record!"
"But... in the end, it's not enough."
Many Sect Disciples watching the fight could see Ye Chen's impending defeat.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
The little girl Tao'er, watching as Shi Tian suddenly burst forth and pressured her young master, was extremely anxious.
"No... "
"Ye Chen won't lose so easily. I heard Sister Jiang Yao say, Ye Chen has mastered three Sword Intents, and also has the terrifying Sword Qi Spirit Liquid; he hasn't used them yet. He still hasn't employed many of his methods."
"He's simply showing the enemy weakness!"
Liu Chan'er, seeing Ye Chen being suppressed by Shi Tian, had this thought flash through her mind.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, as Shi Tian was crazily asserting dominance with his shocking spear shadows and as all the Sect Disciples thought Ye Chen was about to lose.
Boom!
Inside Ye Chen's body, a surge of silver True Qi suddenly swept out.
This silver True Qi was so dazzling, so brilliant, that as soon as it appeared, it completely overshadowed the spear shadows of True Qi filled skies from Shi Tian with its silver light.
Then, this burst of silver True Qi suddenly transformed, turning into countless droplets of silver Sword Rain, directly confronting Shi Tian's sky-full of spear shadows.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Shi Tian's complete outburst, attacking with his strongest moves, was directly scattered by the silver Sword Rain. Even under the slicing of the silver Sword Rain, all the spear shadows of True Qi were burned to nothingness!
Not just dissipating the True Qi, but directly burning it into nothingness. This was a clear indication that the silver Sword Rain was completely crushing the True Qi of Shi Tian's spear shadows.
Gang Yuan True Qi!
This was none other than the uniquely powerful True Qi born from Ye Chen's cultivation of the "Gang Yuan Chapter" of the Primordial Star Scripture, the Gang Yuan True Qi that surpasses the Heaven and Earth True Qi by countless times!
Ye Chen had finally unleashed his second method!
