Chapter 100: Today, I Shall Give You An Opportunity
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the same time, Ming He, who had been standing casually in mid-air just now, suddenly moved.
"Ye Xuan!"
Ming He raised his eyelids slightly and slowly spat out two words. The hands behind his back loosened.
Ye Xuan actually killed Li Wuji and Gongsun Wuji in his presence. This was undoubtedly an affront to his dignity.
He had no clue that Ye Xuan was that powerful, so even he did not have time to react.
Two elders had fallen. The sect had suffered a serious loss!
"You are only twenty years old, but have already reached the golden core realm. Young man, you are indeed a top-notch genius!"
"In these 500 years I've lived, among the geniuses I've seen, you are ranked in the top three!"
Ming He looked at Ye Xuan expressionlessly, and his indifferent voice resounded across the sky.
"But your youth is also your fatal flaw. You are not strong enough!"
"Although golden core realm cultivators are powerful, from my perspective, you're just a rather strong ant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably terrifying pressure suddenly descended.
Amidst this vast sea of pressure, even the ground could not stop trembling.
This was the power of a peak core formation realm expert!
When the crowd saw this, they were aghast. Their bodies could not stop trembling, and some of the weaker practitioners even directly knelt on the ground.
Even the elders of the Xuanyin sect felt the pressure.
However, their hearts were filled with joy. The Qingyun sect would have no chance of making a comeback.
Wan Shanhai and other elders despaired.
Weighed down by this terrible pressure, they simply could not even lift a finger to resist.
"Young man, you should be honored!"
"Because you will die at the hands of a peak core formation realm powerhouse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming He took a step forward and his figure suddenly disappeared.
"Ridiculous!"
At this moment, a cold laugh suddenly rang out, followed by the appearance of an endless and seemingly boundless power.
In an instant, the terrifying pressure that was originally weighing down on everyone suddenly dissipated.
"Cultivators of the Qingyun sect, today, I, Ye Xuan, will grant you an opportunity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the God-slaying Sword suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan's hand.
Strong gusts of wind suddenly blew past. Holding the God-slaying Sword in his hand, Ye Xuan stood in mid-air. His long black hair fluttered in the wind.
He looked at Ming He calmly, as if he was a Sword God who stood proudly above everything else in the world.
When everyone saw this, they were shocked.
Moments later, sword qi that was as vast as the ocean, and as boundless as the stars, soared into the sky while emitting an incomparably bright light!
The sword qi was filled with a domineering power, which instantly crushed the pressure Ming He was exerting.
Ye Xuan, with one sword, suppressed the entire world. It was as if he was a Sword God who looked down on the world!
His body emitted an incredibly domineering aura.
This scene was deeply engraved in the hearts of countless cultivators.
Many years later, there was a legend passed down in the Qingyun sect that described the valor and greatness of a peerless expert who had used a single sword to shake the Heavens and the Earth, rescuing the sect from danger.
The terrifying and tyrannical sword qi raged wildly, causing the whole world to tremble.
This was Ye Xuan's Sword Overlord physique!
Everyone felt the terrifying pressure that was originally weighing down on their bodies suddenly disappear.
Ye Xuan sword qi seemed to be unrivaled.
At this moment, a resplendent stream of light flashed past, and Ming He's figure suddenly appeared not far from Ye Xuan.
Victory had been in his grasp, but his arrogant expression was now gone. What had replaced it was extreme fear.
Peak of the core formation realm!
Ye Xuan was actually in the same realm as him!
Ming He went completely mad.
This felt even more ridiculous than if a supreme unity realm expert had suddenly appeared in the Great Qian Dynasty.
Ye Xuan was only 20 years old, but he had already reached the peak of the core formation realm!
Was this guy really human?
He had cultivated for hundreds of years, and massacred countless people to gather enough qi and blood essence, in order to reach the peak of the core formation realm!
Although this was related to his damaged cultivation foundation, it was enough to show everyone just how difficult it was for cultivators to reach the peak of the core formation realm.
"How is this possible?"
Ming He's pupils suddenly constricted, His eyes bulged with disbelief.
"Hehe, why shouldn't it be possible?"
"Everything is possible when I'm involved!"
Ye Xuan stood in mid-air, his body emitting a domineering sword qi that could seemingly tear even space apart.
"You are just a piece of trash who spent hundreds of years cultivating before breaking through to the peak of the core formation realm!"
"Moreover, you are just a piece of trash who relied on slaughtering mortals to collect their qi and blood essence. Only then did you barely reach the requirements to advance to the peak of the core formation realm!"
Ye Xuan's words were filled with a domineering aura, and every word was aimed at Ming He's heart. Ming He's expression immediately turned ugly.
"If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as squashing an ant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the God-slaying Sword. He pointed the sharp tip of the sword pointed at Ming He, and then he enunciated the following words very clearly.
"Today, the Xuanyin sect will be destroyed!"
"Arrogant brat!"
Hearing this, Ming He became furious. He reached out his hand, and a long black spear suddenly appeared!
"All Xuanyin sect cultivators, follow my lead and kill this kid!"
Ming He's body was filled with surging energy, and his voice resounded in the sky like thunder.
Both of them were at the peak of the core formation realm, and it would be difficult to determine the victor within a short period of time.
Therefore, Ming He wanted to utilize the combined power of the Xuanyin sect to kill Ye Xuan!
Underworld blood and the elders of the mysterious dark sect had already been petrified on the spot when Ye Xuan killed Li Wuji and Gongsun Wuji with lightning-like methods.
To be able to resolve the pressure of the forefather so easily, the opponent's true realm instantly leaped out!
Ye Xuan, he had actually stepped into the completion of the core formation realm!
For a moment, it was as if they had been struck by lightning. Their eyes were filled with disbelief, and it was hard for them to accept this reality for a moment.
It was not until the voice of the Nether River suddenly exploded in their minds that they came back to their senses.
"We will obey the orders of the forefather!"
In an instant, all the cultivation practitioners of the mysterious dark sect suddenly exploded the power in their bodies, turning into a stream of light and attacking Ye Xuan together.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan's expression did not change at all.
Attack him from all sides? That was good too. He would not have to kill them one by one!
Chapter 101: This Is My Sword
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"All disciples of the Qingyun sect, watch closely!"
"This is my sword!"
Ye Xuan's voice was like roaring thunder. The cultivators of the Qingyun sect, who were still in a daze, came to their senses immediately.
Given his strength, whether it was killing the sect leader of the Xuanyin sect, the elders, or the ancestor, Ming He, with his strength, he did not need to use the God-slaying Sword, or even his sword intent.
However, he wanted to give an opportunity to the cultivators of the Qingyun sect!
After all, in these moments of crisis for the sect, no matter what intentions they had, these disciples had stood firmly behind the sect!
It was also because everyone had activated the second layer of the mountain guardian array formation, which had delayed Ming He for some time, that Ye Xuan had gained enough time to fill up the final gaps and completely cover his golden core.
Therefore, this opportunity was what they deserved.
Ye Xuan was not stingy in the slightest, and all the power in his body burst forth!
As soon as he finished speaking, the swords in the hands of countless cultivators suddenly burst forth with bright spiritual light, which then gathered toward the God-slaying Sword.
This sword…
Would be the strongest sword strike within the current era of the Great Qian Dynasty! It could split mountains and rivers, and split Heaven and Earth!
The God-slaying Sword started to tremble violently. The seven blood-colored patterns on the sword shone with brilliant divine light. In the blink of an eye, seven blood-colored sword qi patterns flew forward and appeared in front of a Xuanyin sect elder.
Before the elder could fully react, the shocked expression on his face was frozen in time. Struck by the brilliant sword qi, he turned into ashes and dissipated slowly.
A swordsman in the middle stage of the true core realm had fallen!
The blood-colored sword qi patterns from the God-slaying Sword swept across Heaven and Earth, as if it had cut open a path through space itself. It was like a constellation of nine stars from the heavens had descended, the sword qi patterns appeared on the bodies of two other Xuanyin sect elders in an instant.
A line of stars!
All of a sudden, the eyes of the two elders widened. They did not feel any pain, but were cut open by the sword qi patterns and dismembered!
Just as their heads left the corpses, a resplendent pillar of sword qi suddenly descended. In an instant, their heads were destroyed and turned into ashes.
Another sword strike had easily killed two core formation realm experts!
Seeing this, Ming He's expression could not help but change greatly. The hand holding the black long spear trembled. Then, he hurriedly withdrew it. His old body erupted with a terrifying power as he frantically retreated.
Ye Xuan's power was so terrifying that it made his heart palpitate!
If he fought Ye Xuan, he would die without a doubt!
Before such terrifying power, even he, a peak core formation realm expert, would not be able to withstand a single move.
He felt his entire soul tremble wildly, and the last trace of his self-esteem as a supreme expert instantly dissipated.
"Old Man, trying to escape?"
Seeing this, a sneer hung on the corners of Ye Xuan's mouth. He waved his sleeve and turned into a stream of light, chasing after Ming He at an even faster speed.
If there was anyone among the cultivators of the Xuanyin sect present who had the greatest chance of escaping, it would definitely be Ming He!
Although Ye Xuan's power could easily crush him, the latter was still a peak core formation realm expert. If he focused on escaping, his chances were far higher than the rest!
If he really managed to escape and hide, even Ye Xuan might not be able to find him.
In an instant, the figures of Ye Xuan and Ming He suddenly disappeared!
The remaining eleven people of the Xuanyin sect were stunned. It was as if they had been struck by lightning and petrified.
They had never imagined Ye Xuan's strength to be so terrifying that even a peak core formation realm expert would retreat without trying to put up a fight.
Right now, their minds were constantly replaying the shocked and terrified expression of their patriarch before he escaped.
If even the patriarch was no match for Ye Xuan, then what about them?
Run!
They had to escape quickly! They had to get away as fast as they could!
It just so happened that Ye Xuan was currently chasing after the patriarch! He had no time to deal with them at all. This was a perfect opportunity to escape!
Ming Xue immediately made his move.
However, moments later, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation from his waist. When he turned around to look, he saw that the bottom half of his body had been separated from the top half…
"I… Not like this!"
That incomparably terrifying sword qi rampaged crazily through his body. Ming Xue's eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Still, so what?
His vision was gradually fading, and the life force in his body was rapidly dissipating!
However, just as he was about to die, he suddenly reflected on his life.
He often sat on the mountain peak in a daze, looking at the soaring eagles in the sky. His heart was filled with envy! He longed to one day be like an eagle, soaring through the heavens and standing at the peak of the food chain.
He had not reached the peak of the core formation realm yet, and his ambition had not been fulfilled yet!
"Ye… Ye Xuan… I… I am not reconciled…"
Once the violent sword qi reached his dantian, the final vestiges of his consciousness faded away.
Ming Xue had… fallen!
At the same time, the two vice sect leaders of the Xuanyin sect also fell.
This was because, before Ye Xuan chased after Ming He, he casually sent forth a few streaks of sword qi at Ming Xue and the others.
Although it was just a casual attack, Ye Xuan's golden core had already reached full completion. There was no way Ming Xue or the others would be able to withstand even the simplest of his strikes.
Now that the most powerful cultivators of the Xuanyin sect had fallen, even if the other elders were lucky enough to escape, it would not be difficult to find and uproot them in the future.
Swoosh!
Looking at Ye Xuan's approaching figure, Ming He's expression changed drastically. His eyes struggled for a moment, and then revealed a hint of madness.
Moments later, the power in his dantian turned violent. In addition, a dazzling jade token appeared in Ming He's hand.
He was the patriarch of the Xuanyin sect, after all. How could he not have a trump card?
The jade token cracked and broke into pieces slowly, forming a tough energy shield around him.
This energy shield could withstand the strike of a supreme unity realm cultivator!
Boom!
In the next second, a beam of brilliant sword energy suddenly struck the energy shield. The energy shield rippled and trembled crazily, and shattered into pieces just two seconds later.
"This is impossible!"
Seeing this, Ming He stared in disbelief.
The energy shield could even resist the strike of a supreme unity realm expert. How had it shattered after one of Ye Xuan's sword strikes?
What kind of monster was this guy?!
He was only at the peak of the core formation realm, yet the power contained in his sword qi was equivalent to a supreme unity realm expert's?!
Ming He revealed a look of despair!
The resplendent sword qi did not dissipate. It shot forth and pierced Ming He's chest instantly.
Pu!
Ming He spat out a mouthful of blood. Several ribs had been broken, and the violent sword qi was wreaking havoc through his meridians.
Although he had used the energy shield to block most of Ye Xuan's sword qi, even so, he was already heavily injured.
In his current state, he could not block Ye Xuan's next sword strike!
