Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 750 - 744: Seven Stars Dragon Killing Sword Skill
Chapter 750: Chapter 744: Seven Stars Dragon Killing Sword Skill
"It seems Ye Xuan’s luck has finally run out, facing Marquis Long Jian, his chances of victory are almost zero."
"Yes, the opponents Ye Xuan has encountered before were too weak. Marquis Long Jian is not someone Lv Jie can compare with. His cultivation has already reached the level of a Third Grade Martial Saint. Even if his cultivation is suppressed, his combat power won’t drop much."
"I just hope the fight can be a bit more intense. It’d be disappointing if Ye Xuan can’t even scratch a single hair on Marquis Long Jian."
Watching the battle between Ye Xuan and Marquis Long Jian, some people started discussing.
No one was optimistic about Ye Xuan; after all, even a dark horse who suddenly becomes prominent should have a limit; without a doubt, Marquis Long Jian was beyond Ye Xuan’s limits.
"Marquis Long Jian is a veteran top contender on the Holy List. He has been on the list for three consecutive terms. Last time, he ranked fourth but was later pushed to fifth by Jun Luoyu. His Seven Stars Dragon Killing Sword Skill is powerful. Last time he had already cultivated it to the fifth kill. It is said that if he could complete the sixth kill, he could slay gods and Buddhas alike. Ye Xuan would stand no chance."
Ling Hanye watched the two fighters in the arena. His ranking on the Holy List was only one position lower than Marquis Long Jian, so it was impossible for him not to have crossed swords with his opponent. However, he had been defeated miserably at that time. In front of Marquis Long Jian’s Five Stars Gathered, his defense couldn’t withstand a single blow. If Marquis Long Jian had truly made a breakthrough in the Seven Stars Dragon Killing Sword Skill, then he would be even less of a match now.
"Marquis Long Jian is indeed a formidable rival."
A serious expression appeared on Jun Luoyu’s refined face. Both men should not be underestimated, particularly Marquis Long Jian. His Seven Stars Dragon Killing Sword Skill was an Ancient Sword Skill, infinitely powerful. It is said that the power of the second kill of the Seven Stars Dragon Killing Sword Skill is twice that of the first, and the third kill’s power is twice that of the second, and so on. When reaching the sixth kill, one could instantly slay a dragon of the same realm as oneself. And if one were to cultivate the seventh kill, surpassing levels to slay others would be as easy as cutting vegetables.
Marquis Long Jian appeared to be around forty years old, with handsome sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He wore a very loose spruce robe that fluttered, emitting a sharp murderous intent, as if there was a faint sound of dragon chants.
Clang!
He drew his long sword, the blade glittering with cold light. Murderous aura overflowed; indeed, even swords can possess murderous aura, purer than that of humans, devoid of any impurities.
"This sword is named Dragon Slayer!"
As the sword unsheathed, it seemed to emit the mournful cry of a dragon, as though a member of the Dragon Clan had indeed been slain by this sword.
"Rain Saint Sword!"
Although Ye Xuan’s Rain Saint Sword had not been fully drawn, it still emerged slightly under his urging. Just a little, and a resolute and righteous Sword Qi spread out.
The surrounding space seemed to become moist, as a light drizzle began to fall.
"Fine sword!"
Marquis Long Jian’s eyes lit up. Ye Xuan’s Rain Saint Sword was in no way inferior to his Dragon Slayer. They truly were both top-tier Holy-grade Initial Stage swords.
The power of a Holy-grade sword was immeasurably great. Even an Initial Stage sword was an extraordinarily rare item. With their level of cultivation, using a Holy-grade Initial Stage sword was the best choice. A higher-level sword would be too difficult to wield effectively, its full strength would not be utilized, and the effort would be in vain.
"Prepare yourself, I will not hold back."
Dragon Fighting Sword in hand, Marquis Long Jian’s eyes gradually turned cold. In his heart, he still harbored a slight hope, hoping Ye Xuan could surprise him. Hopefully, it wasn’t all bluster, and in a real fight, Ye Xuan wouldn’t crumble at the first blow.
"Seven Stars Dragon Killing, first form, Traceless!"
Originally, everyone thought that Marquis Long Jian wouldn’t take this match too seriously. However, what they saw was different. Marquis Long Jian did not use any other swordsmanship to test Ye Xuan. Unexpectedly, he went straight for the Seven Stars Dragon Killing Sword Skill, albeit the first form.
Phut!
Seven Stars Dragon Killing, that Sword Qi in the air was like twinkling stars, yet its power could slay the mightiest of the Dragon Clan.
A flash of starlight before his eyes, and Ye Xuan felt an icy and ruthless Sword Qi rushing toward his face, its arrival so sudden, so eerie.
Ding!
Rain Saint Sword unsheathed, Ye Xuan’s gaze unwavering, his long sword soared, breaking through the Sword Qi.
"The second move, Dragon Soundless!"
Swish!
Marquis Long Jian’s figure seemed to suddenly vanish, a Dragon Shadow flickering in place, suddenly darkening, and when he reappeared, he was in front of Ye Xuan, Dragon Slayer Sword carrying the purest intent to kill, stabbing forward.
The second move’s swordsmanship contained steps, both complementing each other.
The footwork was peculiar, and this sword strike was unbelievably fast. Almost merging footwork and swordsmanship into one, leveraging the momentum of the forward charge to elevate the power of the swordsmanship to a new realm.
Dragon Soundless, indeed now Marquis Long Jian was like a dragon, not making any sound, silently with a powerful offensive, forcing his opponent into a desperate situation.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere!
Ye Xuan horizontally held the Rain Saint Sword, blocking Marquis Long Jian’s second strike. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
But the advancing force contained in this sword was not so easily dispelled, Ye Xuan’s feet ground against the floor, sliding back, leaving behind a trail of bright sparks.
"The third move, Slash Heartless!"
Marquis Long Jian, seizing the advantage, abruptly retracted the Dragon Slayer Sword and then stabbed out again. This thrust, even faster than before, taking the swordsmanship to new heights.
"Is this Marquis Long Jian? Too ruthless! One sword strike after another, Ye Xuan has no chance to counter, only falling into passivity, forced to defend continuously."
"As expected of Marquis Long Jian, if he doesn’t strike, he doesn’t bother, but once he strikes, it’s a killing sword, cornering his opponent."
"Ye Xuan is still too green right now, give him a few more years, and he might be able to compete with Marquis Long Jian."
In such a short span of time, the observers naturally had no time to speak, but the same thoughts flashed through their minds.
Marquis Long Jian’s thrust had gone awry, not because of a lack of accuracy, but because Ye Xuan’s Rain Saint Sword had clashed with his Dragon Slayer Sword. Ye Xuan’s swordsmanship was very soft, seemingly not interfering with the trajectory of his strike. Yet, this influence was slowly increasing until the thrust aimed at Ye Xuan’s throat finally veered off course, leaving only a slight trace of blood on Ye Xuan’s neck.
The adage that softness can overcome hardness must be referring to this very principle.
"It’s actually broken!"
Someone exclaimed in astonishment. The third strike of the Seven Stars Dragon Slayer Sword already possessed considerable power; at least few among them were confident they could break it. But Ye Xuan, in a silent process, had deciphered the move and resolved the crisis.
"Amazing!"
Ling Hanye couldn’t help but utter his admiration. Using softness to counter hardness, agility to defeat strength, was always an effective strategy against an opponent. But to capture the ethereal sword light of Marquis Long Jian in that lightning-fast moment was already difficult enough, let alone using skill to neutralize the opponent’s move in the blink of an eye. It required extraordinary vision, and above all, maintaining a calm demeanor during the heat of battle.
