Chapter 569: Chapter 508: Defeat!

The infuriated Xiao Selang finally couldn’t hold back and launched an attack on Ye Fan!

For this sword strike, he didn’t use any martial arts techniques; he merely stimulated the Gang Qi within his body and channeled it into the treasure sword in his hand.

"Swoosh——"

As he slashed with his sword, a stream of Gang Qi burst forth from the tip of the treasure sword, transforming into a beam of Gang Qi Sword Radiance, shooting towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had remained alert from beginning to end and was already prepared to react. Sensing Xiao Selang’s movement through his Spiritual Sense, he swiftly dodged with a flash, moving like a teleportation, instantly dashing over ten meters away.

The Gang Qi Sword Radiance whooshed past the spot where Ye Fan had just been, before it could no longer maintain its form, scattered into wisps of Gang Qi that swept across the trees behind the clearing, merely snapping a few small branches and scattering leaves on the ground.

"It seems he has indeed just broken through to the Half-step Gang Qi realm and has yet to stabilize his realm; even when using a Magic Artifact to attack, the power isn’t strong."

Glancing at the damage caused by Xiao Selang’s sword strike, that’s what Ye Fan thought. He didn’t counterattack, but instead, turned his gaze to Meng Bai—while Xiao Selang couldn’t pose a threat to him, Meng Bai certainly could!

"I want to see how many swords you can dodge!"

Seeing Ye Fan easily evade his strike, fury surged even stronger within Xiao Selang. Without waiting for Meng Bai to speak, he let out an angry shout and charged towards Ye Fan with his sword raised.

"Little Wolf, make sure not to take his life!"

Upon seeing this, Meng Bai knew it was nearly impossible to stop Xiao Selang from attacking Ye Fan now that he had been thoroughly provoked. He simply let Xiao Selang act but reminded him not to accidentally kill Ye Fan.

Up in the sky, Bodhi Wuyin had intended to help Ye Fan, but seeing him easily dodge Xiao Selang’s attack, he realized that Ye Fan’s combat strength was far stronger than it appeared on the surface. He then eased his mind and upon hearing Meng Bai’s words, he decided not to intervene and chose to watch the developments calmly.

"Swoosh——"

Meanwhile, Ye Fan didn’t engage in a frontal battle but instead, abruptly retreated.

Though he deduced from Meng Bai’s words that the other party had some apprehensions about his background, to be on the safe side he still decided to distance himself from Meng Bai first.

If he could distance himself from Meng Bai, he wouldn’t have to worry about being ambushed by Meng Bai, nor would he fear exposing his trump cards, allowing him to properly teach Xiao Selang a lesson.

At that time, whether Meng Bai would keep his earlier promise or not, he could handle it with ease!

"Thinking of escaping? It won’t be that easy!"

Seeing Ye Fan retreat abruptly, Xiao Selang subjectively assumed that Ye Fan was trying to escape. With a cold laugh, he pushed his speed to the limit. He became like a phantom, hot on Ye Fan’s heels.

Though Ye Fan’s movement technique was fast enough to be on par with a cultivator of the Innate Great Perfection Realm, it was, after all, not as fast as a cultivator in the Half-step Gang Qi realm.

Even though Xiao Selang had just stepped into the Half-step Gang Qi realm, in terms of movement speed, he was incomparable!

Half a minute later, Xiao Selang had closed the distance to Ye Fan to within thirty meters.

For their level of strength, this was an extremely dangerous distance—giving full throttle to speed, one could reach the other in a blink of an eye!

Swish!

As the number one martial arts genius of the Tian Shan Sword Sect, Xiao Selang hadn’t only honed his skills by killing mutant beasts but had also sparred with cultivators from the other Five Great Alliances on multiple occasions under the guidance of Cang Bo, mastering his combat techniques and amassing a wealth of battle experience.

At that moment, seeing that the distance to Ye Fan had shortened to his striking range, Xiao Selang gave a cold smile, swung his right hand, and effortlessly darted out a sword strike at Ye Fan’s retreating back!

"Swoosh——"

The Gang Qi Sword Radiance shot out from the sword tip once again, but this time it didn’t aim directly at Ye Fan. Instead, it suddenly exploded, splitting into numerous smaller strands of Gang Qi Sword Radiance, swarming towards Ye Fan like a flock of wasps.

With this strike, he had directly employed the signature technique of the Tian Shan Sword Sect, the "Heavenly Sword Nine Forms," specifically, the Third Level, "Heavenly Snow."

Heavenly Snow, a sword technique created by the founder of the Tian Shan Sword Sect after studying the snowscapes of Mount Tian, when executed, would produce Sword Qi that flew out in all directions like snowflakes, capable of obscuring the skies—a widespread attack!

At this moment, Xiao Selang launched this move, ’Heavenly Snow,’ with a clear purpose—to force Ye Fan to stop and have nowhere to escape!

"Huff!"

As if having eyes on the back of his head, Ye Fan didn’t wait for the tiny strands of Gang Qi Sword Light to approach before he fiercely stepped down and threw a punch towards the incoming Gang Qi Sword Light!

Qi Rushes to the Sky, Third Level!

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

With the punch thrown, explosive power burst forth, directly shattering the air and merging into the punch’s wind, forming a large net that swept toward the Gang Qi Sword Light.

The Gang Qi Sword Light was thwarted, hesitated, and its potency sharply decreased. After piercing through the punch’s wind net, it became very faint and struck Ye Fan’s body, directly neutralized by Ye Fan’s Protective Gang Qi, leaving not a scratch on him.

Xiao Selang wasn’t surprised by this outcome.

On one hand, he subjectively believed that Ye Fan’s Martial Arts Cultivation had broken through to the Innate Great Perfection Realm, so it was normal for him to be able to withstand his distant Gang Qi Sword Light.

More importantly, his purpose in releasing this sword attack was to force Ye Fan to stop!

"If you dare, then take my next sword!"

Now that he saw his goal accomplished, Xiao Selang sneered and readied his treasure sword for another thrust!

Just at that moment!

"Whoosh—"

The sound of air being pierced rang out as a Xuanye Flying Blade whooshed from Ye Fan’s sleeve, turning into a streak of white light, and rapidly shot towards Xiao Selang.

"Insect tricks!"

Xiao Selang snorted coldly, changing from poking to slashing, as he sliced at the Xuanye Flying Blade.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound emitted and sparks flew, with the Xuanye Flying Blade being slashed aside.

"Whoosh—"

A second sound of tearing air arose as another Xuanye Flying Blade shot at Xiao Selang, even faster than before!

"Useless!"

Xiao Selang repeated the act, sneering again as he cut down the Xuanye Flying Blade.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

However—

Unexpected to Xiao Selang, as he was about to launch his attack, the two Xuanye Flying Blades he had slashed down flew up at the same time, one after the other, from two different directions towards him.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Selang snorted, his right hand vibrating as he swung his treasure sword twice.

"Clang! Clang!"

Two swooshes of the sword shadow passed by, the Xuanye Flying Blades were struck again, but because Xiao Selang was rushed in his swordplay, the power wasn’t great, only causing the Xuanye Flying Blades to deviate from their path and, unlike before, they were not knocked down.

The next moment.

Before he could swing his treasure sword again, two Xuanye Flying Blades shot toward him from two different angles like persistent phantoms.

Due to the close distance, Xiao Selang didn’t dare to be careless and cut down the Xuanye Flying Blades with domineering energy again, instead, he quickly thrust out two swords.

"Clang! Clang!"

After being hit by his treasure sword, the Xuanye Flying Blades merely paused for a moment before shooting towards him again, this time even faster than before!

Whoosh!

This time, Xiao Selang finally showed signs of alarm!

A sense of danger surged in his heart!

With the crisis upon him, Xiao Selang didn’t choose to clash head-on but instead stepped aside swiftly, dodging the attack of the two Xuanye Flying Blades.

Only—

What drove Xiao Selang to the brink of insanity was that the Xuanye Flying Blades were sticking to him like a shadow, immediately entangling him again.

"Get lost!"

Xiao Selang’s anger was unstoppable, his energy inside his body surged, and he struck out with another sword.

Heavenly Sword Fifth Form—Mountain Sword!

The Mountain Sword, a move created by the founder of the Tian Shan Sword Sect after a Sudden Enlightenment while observing the Heavenly Mountain Range, focuses on power, claiming the might of one sword could compare to the force of a mountain, aiming to crush the opponent with absolute power!

Clearly... Xiao Selang was agitated by the persistence of the two Xuanye Flying Blades and used his most powerful attack in a hurry to get rid of their entanglement!

"Swoosh—"

As he slashed out, a semi-circular Gang Qi Sword Light appeared like a blade’s edge, sweeping towards the two Xuanye Flying Blades.

"Clang! Clang!"

With two crisp sounds, the Xuanye Flying Blades were directly knocked away, flying dozens of meters away and distancing them from Xiao Selang.

"My turn!"

After slinging away the Xuanye Flying Blades with one sword strike, Xiao Selang knew this was a golden opportunity for a counterattack that he couldn’t waste, or else he’d be entangled by the Xuanye Flying Blades again.

"Swoosh—"

Realizing this, Xiao Selang’s feet flickered as he merged with the sword in his hand, and he slashed towards Ye Fan once more.

Heavenly Sword Sixth Form—Wind Sword!

The sword strike was as fast as the wind, arriving in an instant.

This was known as the fastest strike within the Heavenly Sword Nine Forms, leaving the opponent no chance to dodge.

"Swoosh—"

As Xiao Selang’s sword slashed down, a Gang Qi Sword Light materialized out of nowhere in front of Ye Fan.

Danger!

Ye Fan was startled and, not daring to hold back any longer, he fully concentrated his Mind to control the third Xuanye Flying Blade hidden in his sleeve!

"Whiz—"

As the sound of cutting through the air rose again, the Xuanye Flying Blade hit the Gang Qi Sword Light squarely, instantly piercing through it and scattering the Gang Qi Sword Light in Ye Fan’s direction.

With the proximity being too close and the Gang Qi Sword Light already broken, Ye Fan did not dare to let the Gang Qi strike him and hastily retreated.

"He... He broke through my Wind Sword head-on?!"

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Selang did not pursue, but instead his eyes widened in sheer disbelief, his face filled with incredulity!

As the Heavenly Sword Sixth Form, the Wind Sword may be known for its speed, but its power is not weak. On the contrary, it is much stronger than ordinary sword moves, strong enough to slash a huge rock into gravel!

Such power is something even a Half-step Gang Qi realm Cultivator would not dare to meet head-on, instead, they would avoid its sharpness.

And because the speed of this sword is so swift, the opponent often doesn’t have time to dodge before being struck!

Now, Ye Fan had broken the Wind Sword with the Xuanye Flying Blade, delivering a shock to Xiao Selang that was indescribable!

"How could his Flying Knife Assassination be so strong?!"

Amid his shock, this question completely filled Xiao Selang’s mind.

How could it be possible??

"Whiz! Whiz!"

The sounds of two objects cutting through the air almost simultaneously rang out as the two Xuanye Flying Blades that had been knocked away by Xiao Selang whistled toward him again!

Xiao Selang, snapped back to reality, intended to use the Heavenly Sword Fifth Form: Mountain Sword to knock the Xuanye Flying Blades away as he had done before.

Only—

Just as Xiao Selang was about to swing his sword, the two Xuanye Flying Blades seemingly gained extra momentum, and their speed skyrocketed!

"Be careful!!"

At that moment, Meng Bai, who was watching the battle from atop a Golden Eagle in the sky, changed his face drastically!

"Whoosh!"

The next moment.

Before Xiao Selang could swing out his treasure sword, a Xuanye Flying Blade whizzed past the right side of his neck, slicing a lock of his hair cleanly into two, like cutting vegetables.

The strands of hair broke and scattered with the wind, but Xiao Selang was like a petrified statue, not daring to move an inch.

Because.

Another Xuanye Flying Blade was pointing right at his forehead!
