My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1079: Jitian’s Terror

As soon as Ye Guichen appeared, the Martial Arts Hall Master subconsciously clenched his fist.

He had a good impression of Ye Guichen, a favorable impression indeed.

Ever since he learned that Ye Guichen had accepted Jitian's challenge, his heart was filled with complexity.

On one hand, he was worried that Ye Guichen would die at Jitian's hands; on the other hand, he felt Ye Guichen was too reckless to accept the challenge.

Today, when Ye Guichen had not arrived for a long time, the Martial Arts Hall Master felt both relieved and anxious.

Relieved that Ye Guichen was able to survive, yet anxious that Hua Country's Martial Arts World would lose face.

Of course, if Ye Guichen happened to win against Jitian, he would become the number one in Hua Country Martial Arts World, even surpassing Military God Chu Tiannan.

But such hope was so slim that it could almost be ignored.

"Everyone pay attention, if Mr. Ye truly loses, under any circumstances, we must risk everything to save him!" The Martial Arts Hall Master glanced at Ye Guichen and instructed in a low voice.

This was also the Martial Arts Hall Master's plan for today.

After all, the Martial Arts Hall Master represents the Martial Arts Association, and does not have a strong relationship with Chu Tiannan, representing a civilian organization. If Ye Guichen is truly outmatched, their intervention to save him would not be criticized.

But if Chu Tiannan's Thirteen Grand Protectors intervened to save him, Japan would seize this opportunity to pressure Chu Tiannan.

Ye Guichen represents the future hope of Hua Country Martial Arts World, chosen by Chu Tiannan. As the president of the Tianjing Martial Arts Association, the Martial Arts Hall Master naturally understands Ye Guichen's importance.

So the day after Ye Guichen accepted the challenge, the Martial Arts Hall Master specially consulted with the high-level officials of the Martial Arts Association for an entire day to come up with this plan.

Under any circumstances, Ye Guichen's life must be preserved.

"Haha, it's good that you're here!"

Jitian appeared relieved as he saw Ye Guichen, then waved at him and said, "Ignorant child, you killed the Sect Leader of the Eastern Ninja Sect, and today, as a disciple of Iaido, I will avenge him. Quickly hand over your head and prepare to die!"

Ye Guichen shook his head, surprised by Jitian's arrogance, then sneered, leaping once again and landing directly on the water's surface.

In the next moment, beneath the shimmering waves, green leaves began sprouting under Ye Guichen's feet. With each step, green vines emerged, weaving together a Green Vine Bridge.

When Ye Guichen reached Jitian at the center of Tai Lake, the Green Vine Bridge had extended over a hundred meters.

The crowd was astonished.

Who had ever seen such a strange sight?

"Wow, is this magic?"

"They say Buddha practitioners can walk on water and grow lotuses with each step. Mr. Ye grows vines at every step, what kind of mystery is this?"

"When I previously saw that pretentious Jitian walking on water, I thought he was impressive, but now, he seems merely ordinary!"

"Perhaps Mr. Ye can win!"

The crowd became noisy.

Even Wen Cangfeng and others on the viewing platform were taken aback.

"What kind of technique is Ye Guichen using?"

"I've never seen anything like it, steps yielding vines, is this some kind of magic?"

"This fellow knows magic as well?"

Wen Cangfeng and the other Grand Protectors all looked grave, staring intently at Ye Guichen.

Originally, they held no hope for Ye Guichen, but now, for some reason, they felt Ye Guichen might actually have a chance of winning.

Even such a small technique seemed effortless for Ye Guichen.

Upon reaching Jitian, Ye Guichen extended his hand and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the Green Vine Bridge came to life, inching toward Ye Guichen. Before long, it automatically formed a Green Vine Lotus Boat, and Ye Guichen stood right at its center.

Wow!

This spectacle once again stirred a commotion.

Especially among the martial artists, their faces flushed with excitement, clenching their fists.

Such a technique indeed lifted spirits.

Jitian laughed silently, "Ignorant child, conjuring flashy tricks. Do you think you can defeat me with this? Heh, truly ignorant!"

Even though Jitian's Hua Country language was fluent, if it weren't for the small tuft of mustache above his lips and the clothes he wore, Ye Guichen would have thought he was a Hua Country person.

"Is that so?" Ye Guichen said without wasting words, slowly extending his hand, "The Eastern Ninja Sect deserved to die. Since you wish to avenge them, be prepared to be slain here on Tai Lake!"

"Haha, good! Let's see if your mouth is tough or your skills are!"

Jitian laughed loudly, showing no intention of withdrawing his sword. With a flick of his fingers, a water vapor intensified to its extreme transformed into a long blade, slashing toward Ye Guichen.

The cultivated mystical energy, when condensed to a certain level, could be released outward, even using external objects to kill enemies.

Clearly, Jitian's mastery of mystical energy had reached a profound level.

Ye Guichen's lips curled into a smile.

While facing other foes before, Ye Guichen viewed them with disdain.

But Jitian was different.

Being the head of Iaido and existing on par with the Emperor, his methods were undoubtedly exceptional.

Thus, today Ye Guichen intended to use Jitian to test the extent of his own cultivation.

Seeing the water-condensed blade slashing toward him, Ye Guichen also raised his hand, the mystical energy forming a shield, blocking the water blade.

Clang!

The water blade struck the shield, immediately exploding.

The mystical energy shield also instantly dissipated.

Between Ye Guichen and Jitian, it was as if a water thunder had exploded, with a water column rising tens of meters high, deafening.

Jitian squinted and laughed aloud, "That was just a test. It's no wonder you could kill the Eastern Ninja Sect's members. You seem to possess some skills. Since that's the case, let me show you my Iaido Palm!"

Jitian stepped into the air, leaping up with both hands together. In mid-air, he suddenly spread them apart, a terrifying aura erupted from his palms, pressing directly toward Ye Guichen.

Because of the overwhelming force within his palms, a hurricane-like wave surged up before Jitian, transforming into a raging tiger, galloping across the lake surface.

Everyone on the lake surface was dumbfounded.

Especially the martial artists, they understood that the higher the martial art level, the more terrifying it becomes, yet they'd never seen such a horrifying display of power.

Wen Cangfeng also frowned, his face full of shock.

"Indeed deserving of being Japan's number one martial artist, such momentum, none but Lord Military God could oppose!"

Jin Ling was worried, "Could it be, Ye Guichen will really die today?"

Wen Cangfeng sighed, without answering.

The Martial Arts Hall Master's body was already stretched to the limit.

He suddenly realized his previous thoughts were too simplistic.

If Jitian intended to kill Ye Guichen, given their skills, no matter if they sacrificed their lives, they might not be able to save Ye Guichen.

There was nothing they could do; Jitian's power was too terrifying, trampling them would be no harder than trampling an ant.

The Half-step Immortal, a name that was well deserved.

"Ah..." With a long sigh, the Martial Arts Hall Master closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
