Chapter 91: Chapter 84 The Ultimate Battle
```
"Xiaotian and Lin Rin said that Ye Chen is now incredibly powerful and can even defeat a True Qi level ten warrior,"
"It turns out his hidden move is 'Sword Intent'. Ye Chen, at such a young age, has actually comprehended Sword Intent!"
"No wonder Fairy Jia Luo, the number one warrior in the eastern region of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, holds Ye Chen in such high regard!"
Among the three elders, Patriarch Ye of the Ye Family where Ye Chen hailed from was the most thrilled.
Before the great competition, when he heard from Ye Chen's parents that Ye Chen's strength was extraordinary, he was filled with anticipation for Ye Chen, whose performance in the first two rounds had continually surprised him.
Now, the 'Sword Intent' Ye Chen had displayed in the final stage of the three-clan competition brought Patriarch Ye an even greater and unexpected joy.
He had thought that Ye Chen had cultivated powerful Martial Skills, perhaps even learned a Xuan-tier Martial Skill.
But Patriarch Ye had never imagined that Ye Chen would actually grasp 'Sword Intent'!
This was indeed a pleasant surprise beyond his expectations!
While the entire three great families, from the three elders to the clan members watching the match, were all astounded by Ye Chen's Sword Intent, up in the sky arena, Qian Ming launched another attack on Ye Chen!
Even though he knew Ye Chen had comprehended Sword Intent, Qian Ming was not going to concede easily. His True Qi realm was at level eleven, and he had cultivated a set of Xuan-tier Martial Skills. He would not rest until he had decisively beaten Ye Chen!
Boom!
This time, Qian Ming's feet stomped heavily onto the sky arena. His entire body, holding the Blood Shadow Mad Blade, soared into the air, bringing with it an unmatched blade light and a terrifying True Qi flame over seventeen or eighteen meters high, slashing towards Ye Chen again.
Qian Ming was deploying the 'Blood Shadow Blade Skills' in a frenzied, close-quarters combat attempt with Ye Chen!
As Qian Ming rose with blade in hand, slashing down from the air, Ye Chen lightly touched the sky arena with the tip of his foot and also took to the air in a flash. At the same time, he fiercely pointed at Qian Ming and the hundreds of circling Sword Intents made from leaves shot towards Qian Ming to meet his attack.
On one side was Qian Ming, wielding the Blood Shadow Mad Blade and bringing about a ferocious True Qi flame with his slashes!
On the other side were hundreds of Sword Intents formed from leaves, soaring through the sky to counter the onslaught!
When these two forces collided, the explosion was immense.
Above the first sky arena, violent True Qi swept through every direction, with blade lights and sword shadows everywhere!
If not for the three elders taking action to protect the area around the fighters, this fearsome clash of Sword Intents against Blood Shadow Blade Skills would have utterly destroyed the surrounding terrain of the first sky arena!
The battle between Ye Chen and Qian Ming at this moment was even more astonishing than the previous one between Qian Ming and Bai Xiaodie using their Xuan-tier techniques!
In the frenetic clash of blades and swords, Qian Ming's defensive True Qi flame gradually diminished, whereas more of the hundreds of leaf-made swords confronting him were being slashed down.
Clearly, neither of them could suppress the other with this move, and it was time to change tactics!
At that moment, Qian Ming let out a roar. His body once again unleashed an unstoppable True Qi storm. The True Qi amidst the myriad blade lights turned a translucent red, even the Blood Shadow Mad Blade in his hand turned a blood red instantly!
Those from the three clans who had watched Qian Ming's earlier battle with Bai Xiaodie knew that he was about to use his strongest and final Martial Skill, the Xuan-tier low-grade blade skill 'Blood Shadow Blade Skills' — its most powerful move, 'Mad Demon Thirteen Slash'!
Mad Demon Thirteen Slash, where all True Qi is infused into the blade's attacks—without madness, there is no survival!
It is a desperate, ultimate assault; success means victory, failure means defeat.
With this blade skill, Qian Ming had even defeated countless True Qi level eleven warriors in the Taixuan Sect; he had even overcome many who had not successfully cultivated powerful Martial Skills among those at True Qi level twelve!
It was only Bai Xiaodie who, in the end, had withstood this move. Qian Ming didn't believe that Ye Chen, whose Sword Intent was four small levels lower in True Qi realm, could withstand his Mad Demon Thirteen Slash!
As everyone watched the aggression of Qian Ming's Mad Demon Thirteen Slash, tensions rose. Even Bai Xiaodie, on the second sky arena, watched Ye Chen without blinking.
"I was able to defeat Qian Ming with my True Qi level eleven realm, which is no less than his, and Xuan-tier Martial Skill."
"Ye Chen is only at True Qi level seven, his internal cultivation's True Qi is weaker than Qian Ming's, and even if his external skill 'Sword Intent' is incredibly powerful, it may not hold up against Qian Ming's frenzied outbreak."
"Is he going to use that Sword Intent to block this 'Mad Demon Thirteen Slash'?"
As Bai Xiaodie pondered this question, Qian Ming, together with his Blood Shadow Mad Blade, suddenly disappeared from where he was standing. The next moment, a figure like a blood shadow beast burst forth in front of Ye Chen.
This figure, wielding the immense red True Qi and accompanied by the blood-red blade light, pounced and furiously slashed towards Ye Chen.
The blade light was like a shadow, chaotically unending, Mad Demon Thirteen Slash, an absolute eruption of True Qi, made Qian Ming seem unstoppable!
It was a thirteen-strike combo, each slash more ferocious than the last, each slash gaining momentum in this battle move!
Just as Qian Ming unleashed his most powerful attack, Ye Chen changed his move as well.
He reached into the void with his left hand, and in an instant, hundreds more leaves became swords of leaves, shooting towards Qian Ming with an unstoppable storm of Sword Intent.
At the same time, Ye Chen's right hand did not stop; he reached into the void again, and this time, immense True Qi burst forth from his hand. This True Qi astonishingly turned into numerous swords of True Qi, with purple lightning surging ceaselessly upon them.
These Purple Lightning True Qi Swords also numbered more than a hundred!
```
```
This, unexpectedly, was another kind of Sword Intent—the Purple Lightning Sword Intent, manipulating True Qi, transforming it into a sword for attack!
Ye Chen actually displayed two major Sword Intents at the same time!
Left hand Torrential Rain Sword Intent! Right hand Purple Lightning Sword Intent!
At Qian Ming's most explosive moment, Ye Chen also brought his Sword Intent technique to the second layer!
Boom!
As the Sword Intent of falling leaves like torrential rain smashed down on the frenzied Qian Ming, the Purple Lightning True Qi Sword formed in his right hand also madly struck towards Qian Ming.
The combination of the Torrential Rain Sword and the Purple Lightning True Qi Sword, under the control of the two great Sword Intents, had already surpassed a thousand blades, turning the entire sky above the first heavenly arena into a world of swords!
In an instant, Qian Ming was completely submerged in the light of swords!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Inside the sword light, Qian Ming continued his Mad Demon Thirteen Slash without cease, outside the sword light, the pervasive Sword Intents continued their unrelenting assault!
Such a terrifying sight had completely dumbfounded all the clanspeople from the three tribes.
They couldn't imagine that Ye Chen still had the strength to spare, that at the very end, he could still bring forth even more powerful swords of True Qi!
"The second Sword Intent!"
"This is the second Sword Intent!"
Even Bai Xiaodie, with her ever-calm delicate face, revealed an expression of disbelief!
In the midst of countless shocked onlookers, amid Bai Xiaodie's incredulous expression, after dozens of breaths of the frenzied assault by the sword light, Qian Ming's roaring had become increasingly subdued, and in the end, it turned into cries of astonishment.
Indeed, Qian Ming could no longer withstand Ye Chen's attacks!
And at this moment, of the countless Swords of Leaves and True Qi that were cutting down towards Qian Ming in the first heavenly arena, there were still six to seven hundred blades left!
These remaining Sword Intent moves were enough to completely defeat or even kill Qian Ming!
In the end, Qian Ming had no choice but to admit defeat, complete defeat!
When Qian Ming's voice of surrender rang out, Ye Chen waved his hand grandly, and all the sword light in the sky swirled about, revealing Qian Ming's figure, his clothes somewhat tattered.
Qian Ming had already turned pale, clearly suffering a great loss of True Qi in this battle and no longer able to resist!
In contrast, Ye Chen didn't show the slightest bit of strain; he was still as unaffected as before the contest began, Qian Ming's attacks hadn't touched him at all!
With a grand gesture from Ye Chen, the sword light that had taken flight from its attack on Qian Ming, the countless leaf swords, now drifted to the ground, and the swords of True Qi reverted back to True Qi, flying back into Ye Chen's body.
With his move, he conjured the sword light that filled the sky!
Withdrawing his move, the sword light dissipated in an instant, turning into nothingness!
Ye Chen's smooth actions, contrasted against the pale-faced Qian Ming, clearly distinguished the superior from the inferior!
Qian Ming is defeated!
Ye Chen wins!
This eighth round of the top ten ranking battle finally came to a close, under the watchful eyes of the multitude.
All the clanspeople from the three tribes, along with the three great chieftains, watched Ye Chen on the first heavenly arena, and there was a moment of silence, followed by, a wave of frenzied cheering that swept across the entire thousand-yard arena, across the entire martial arts square of the three tribes!
"Ye Chen won!"
"Another eight consecutive victories!"
"A supreme powerhouse, this is simply the birth of a supreme powerhouse!"
"It's unimaginable, Ye Chen at the seventh layer of True Qi actually defeated Qian Ming at the eleventh layer of True Qi, and, we have yet to see Ye Chen pushed to his limit!"
"Both contestants with eight consecutive victories have emerged, Ye Chen and Bai Xiaodie, both fifteen, both with eight consecutive wins!"
"In the ninth round, they will face off. Who will be the number one among the top ten, which of these two formidable youths?"
All eyes, were then focused on Ye Chen on the first heavenly arena, and also simultaneously on Bai Xiaodie on the second heavenly arena.
In the midst of the frenzied cheering, Bai Xiaodie also looked towards Ye Chen, "For the last battle, it seems, I must bring out my true strength!"
Boom!
With a light tap of Bai Xiaodie's snow-white boots, she landed directly on the first heavenly arena, right beside Ye Chen!
