Supreme Sword God-Chapter 523 - 522: Deciding Victory and Defeat, Separating Life and Death!
At this moment, Guo Fenglin unleashed the Saint King Fist, and its power was already incredibly terrifying!
This was a Celestial Tier lower-grade martial art specifically for Heaven-Reaching Realm experts to cultivate, and its power was immense.
Yet, once Ye Chen’s Seven-Star Sword Array was released, the starlit river of light swept across the entire arena. Even the massive phantom formed by the Saint King Fist seemed insignificant in front of this river of stars!
With the explosive increase in Ye Chen’s strength, the offensive power of the Seven-Star Sword Array had undoubtedly been greatly enhanced.
The starlit river forged by the sword array roared out, slicing through the huge phantom as if tearing a piece of thin paper.
Guo Fenglin’s face revealed a look of horror, and he immediately stepped back while twisting his waist and swiftly sidestepping.
"Swish!"
The domineering and sharp edge almost grazed his forehead as it passed by.
At this moment, Guo Fenglin felt as if he had just walked at the edge of a deathly abyss, his body drenched in cold sweat!
But before he could catch his breath,
the Seven-Star Sword Array that swept past made a sharp reversal in the air, shooting back towards Guo Fenglin!
Guo Fenglin was so frightened his face turned pale, and he furiously punched, unleashing a series of roaring fist imprints.
Under Ye Chen’s control, the Seven-Star Sword Array flowed smoothly, changing in myriad ways as it shattered Guo Fenglin’s fist imprints one by one.
"Pfft!"
A sword penetrated Guo Fenglin’s defense, passing through the area of his scapula, bringing forth a splash of blood!
"Ah!"
Guo Fenglin let out a miserable scream, impacting his movements.
The remaining six swords of the Seven-Star Sword Array also fell on Guo Fenglin in various forms.
Some pierced, some slashed, some swept...
The sound of whistling sharp swords was unending.
The screams of "ah, ah, ah" formed a continuous chorus!
Several breaths of time passed.
The scattering sword lights faded, and the seven swords hovered above Guo Fenglin’s head.
As for Guo Fenglin, he lay on the ground, his entire body having no intact spot left, a bloody mess, extremely miserable!
Ye Chen still stood in place, his expression unchanged in the slightest.
If it was a genius-level Martial Artist at the ninth layer of Unity Realm, perhaps he would need to exert some effort to take them down.
Guo Fenglin was indeed a genius-level Martial Artist, but the forcefully raised strength resulted in an unstable foundation.
Therefore.
To defeat Guo Fenglin, Ye Chen didn’t even need to move his foot, not even a finger; merely controlling the Seven-Star Sword Array was more than enough!
At this moment, the entire venue fell into pin-drop silence.
Subsequently, an uproarious sound, akin to tidal waves, erupted.
"The Seven-Star Sword Array, I finally witnessed Ye Chen’s Seven-Star Sword Array, terrifying beyond words!"
"It’s not the Seven-Star Sword Array that’s terrifying, it’s... Ye Chen!"
"The Seven-Star Sword Array only truly shines in his hands!"
"Even though Guo Fenglin’s strength was raised forcefully causing instability, his power still increased significantly. Ye Chen crushing Guo Fenglin with such ease is unbelievable; were it not for seeing it with my own eyes, I would never believe it!"
On the enormous viewing platform,
Shi Fengchun’s eyes slightly narrowed, appearing calm and indifferent, yet he was actually very surprised.
It wasn’t surprising that Ye Chen could defeat Guo Fenglin... He had expected this outcome from the start.
What surprised him was the process...
The more relaxed and effortless Ye Chen appeared, the greater the shock he delivered to everyone!
"The seven swords I crafted, though merely top-grade spiritual swords, have immense power when combined!" Grandmaster Mu Yi said proudly.
"Our Celestial Soldier Pavilion also has a set of spiritual weapons level swords. It’s been sitting idle, might as well let Ye Chen try it someday!" The Nine Pavilion Master of Celestial Soldier Pavilion, Liu Hong, said with a smile.
The Second Pavilion Master of Celestial Soldier Pavilion, Zhang Fu, was also present to watch, nodding his head and saying, "Anyway, since he already has the Jinghong Sword, giving him a set of spiritual weapon level swords is no issue."
"Hall Master Shi, congratulations, the True Martial Hall has revealed a true dragon!"
"I had heard of Ye Chen’s deeds before and always thought they might be exaggerated, but after witnessing it today, the rumors bear no exaggeration whatsoever. Just based on that Seven-Star Sword Array alone, he could rank around thirtieth on the Qingyun List! With Mortal Transformation Realm cultivation, at the age of twenty, being hailed as the greatest genius in Cangzhou’s history is not an overstatement!"
Having seen Ye Chen’s vast potential, they all proactively sought to establish even slight connections.
Meanwhile, the representative of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the new Patriarch of the Qi Family, and the representative of the Holy Fist Sect all had unpleasant expressions!
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect originally intended to trouble Ye Chen, to settle the issue regarding Xu Tianlong of their sect, but now it seemed that their prodigy didn’t even qualify to step forward anymore.
To step forward... would be to court humiliation!
In the arena, Ye Chen glanced at Guo Fenglin lying on the ground and said lightly, "You know very well the grievances between us, it’s all your own doing.
The last time, due to the regulations of Celestial Cyan City, I spared your life.
This time, because of the rules of the Cyan Cloud Banquet, I’ve spared you again.
But that doesn’t mean I will let you off every time. If there’s a next time, I will kill you!"
Guo Fenglin, lying on the ground, trembled all over. He had already sensed the palpable killing intent from Ye Chen...
Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to say more. With a thought, the seven top-grade spiritual swords flew back to his Storage Ring. His gaze shifted to the preparation area, saying, "Those who just said they want to fight me, come on up!"
In the preparation area, Guo Tian’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and an overwhelming oppressive killing intent surged around him!
Guo Fenglin was his younger brother, moreover, Ye Chen had not only defeated Guo Fenglin, but also fiercely slapped the face of the Holy Fist Sect!
He wished he could immediately go up and crush Ye Chen into the ground!
However...
Guo Fenglin couldn’t take the stage.
Because the rules of the Cyan Cloud Banquet dictated that everyone could initiate a challenge, but those on the Qingyun List could not challenge those not on the list, and those ranked higher could not challenge those ranked lower!
At this moment.
Qi Changfeng, the adopted son of the Qi Family, stepped forward, looking at Guo Tian, saying, "Brother Guo, leave it to me. I must fight him in a life-and-death battle. If he dies, then it all ends, sparing Brother Guo from dirtying your hands."
Qi Changfeng had no problem challenging Ye Chen because he wasn’t on the Qingyun List at all!
Guo Tian looked at Qi Changfeng, nodded, and said, "Brother Qi, I’ll leave it to you then."
The next moment, Qi Changfeng’s figure darted out, landing on the arena.
"Ye Chen, I challenge you to a life-and-death duel; dare you accept?" Qi Changfeng shouted.
Upon hearing this, the viewing area erupted into commotion.
At the Cyan Cloud Banquet, life-and-death duels were rare, yet they did occur; thus, a life-and-death duel complied with the banquet’s rules, provided both combatants agreed, there were no issues!
Ye Chen glanced at Qi Changfeng, a cold smile emerging at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Decide victory or defeat, life or death, as you wish!"
