I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples
Chapter 1656 - Chapter 1656 Chapter 1656 A Draw

Chapter 1656: Chapter 1656: A Draw? Chapter 1656: Chapter 1656: A Draw? I must say.

Xuanyuan Che’s status as the foremost among the Xuanyuan Clan’s younger generation and as the fourth-ranked sword cultivator on the Cangxuan List isn’t without reason.

Xuanyuan Che’s open and aboveboard disposition, where one’s word is one’s bond, is the standard for whether a sword cultivator can achieve greatness.

This is also the main reason why Ye Qiubai is willing to fight Xuanyuan Che.

But.

When the inner courtyard students of Cangxuan Academy witness this scene, they don’t share this view.

The spectacle just now, like thunderclaps resounding through their minds, had turned their brains into mush.

Now, the dialogue between Xuanyuan Che and Ye Qiubai has left them even more confused.

Perhaps, the information overload was too great…

Once they had digested the conversation between the two, shock and disbelief slowly emerged in their eyes.

Does Ye Qiubai have a feud with the Xuanyuan Clan?

And does the Xuanyuan Clan intend to deal with Ye Qiubai, even willing to dispatch their senior forces to eliminate a junior?

They understand very well that for ancient aristocratic families and top factions like the Xuanyuan Clan, it is absolutely beneath them to stoop to the level of having the older generation make a move against a junior.

But… it seems the Xuanyuan Clan is prepared to do so for Ye Qiubai.

Not only that, but from the words spoken by Xuanyuan Che, he now appears to possess a sense of admiration for Ye Qiubai’s talent.

Even going against his own Xuanyuan Clan, he seems to assume the Xuanyuan Clan would be at a disadvantage against Ye Qiubai.

If anyone else had said these words, perhaps they would have scoffed and accused them of daydreaming.

But this is Xuanyuan Che!

Before they could ponder further, both Xuanyuan Che and Ye Qiubai began to unleash their auras without any reservation.

The Fifth Level of Thunder Tribulation and the Sword Dao Rules began to clash fiercely yet maintained equilibrium.

Clearly.

The power within Xuanyuan Che from the Fifth Level of the Thunder Tribulation Demigod Realm and the Dao Law of Sword combined with Ye Qiubai’s Second Level of Thunder Tribulation Demigod Realm and the Sword Dao Power of Law were in a state of balance.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Worthy of the Sword Dao Rules, to be able to make up for such a gap in realms of cultivation, no wonder Junru suffered such a crushing defeat by your hands.”

Ye Qiubai merely shrugged noncommittally, “Among the younger generation, your Sword Dao is the strongest I have ever seen.”

Of course, except for Ye Qiubai himself.

“Coming from others, I’d take it as flattery, but coming from you, I believe,” Xuanyuan Che nodded earnestly, “Enough praise. Let’s begin.”

As soon as the words fell, Xuanyuan Che gripped his three-foot-long blade and without the slightest bit of mercy, slashed towards Ye Qiubai!

At the moment when Xuanyuan Che swung his sword, the tumultuous and violent aura surrounding him seemed to converge all at once.

It wasn’t disappearing but was being completely drawn into Xuanyuan Che’s body and into the Longsword, without a trace leaking out!

Only Ye Qiubai, the target of Xuanyuan Che’s attack, could truly understand how terrifying this strike was.

Even with his grasp of the Sword Dao Rules, facing this strike from Xuanyuan Che still warranted extreme caution.

With this thought.

Almost without any hesitation, Ye Qiubai flicked his Yuncang Sword, and the Sword Domain immediately unfolded!

The surrounding sword cultivator students and Yao Zhun were also enveloped within it.

Feeling their own Sword Dao completely suppressed, they all couldn’t help feeling shocked.

Looking up towards the very center where Ye Qiubai stood, he seemed like the only sovereign of the Sword Dao in this world!

Xuanyuan Che, who was rapidly approaching, felt a jolt through his body within the Sword Domain.

“Although I’ve prepared myself beforehand knowing that you possess a Hidden Dao Academy to suppress sword cultivators from the intelligence reports, experiencing it in reality is still something else…”

Xuanyuan Che muttered, but he still forcefully circulated the sword intent in his body using the strength of the Fifth Level of Thunder Tribulation, maintaining his original speed to get close to Ye Qiubai and slashed out with his Longsword!

From an outsider’s perspective, this attack seemed ordinary and simple, lacking anything special–just a plain slash.

But as Ye Qiubai watched the Longsword grow bigger in his pupils, he felt as if he was surrounded by sword lights in his vicinity, and any movement in any direction would be corroded by the sword light!

Completely locking his position, forcing Ye Qiubai to clash head-on… to face Xuanyuan Che’s sword strike directly.

However, Ye Qiubai had no intention of dodging to begin with.

Presumably, Xuanyuan Che hadn’t held back with this strike…

Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai’s expression became slightly solemn, he let out a light breath, and with it, a sense of endlessness began to converge upon the Yuncang Sword.

At this moment, the Yuncang Sword erupted with a sharp screeching sound! Buzzing while violently trembling non-stop!

And not just that.

The Ash Fire began to climb the Yuncang Sword like twisting vines, ring after ring!

Feeling this breath of life that was also mingled with a sharp and endless destructive intent, the surrounding students couldn’t help but retreat backward.

Yao Zhun had already kept his distance, watching from afar and gritting his teeth, “How could such a sword cultivator possibly appear from the Barbarian Land?”

Before, when Ye Qiubai said that the Cangxuan swordsmanship wasn’t impressive, he thought Ye Qiubai was just boasting out of arrogance.

But seeing the sword technique that Ye Qiubai was about to use.

Yao Zhun couldn’t help but gulp.

Before this sword technique, the Cangxuan swordsmanship was indeed not even fit to carry its shoes… A sword cultivator capable of displaying such technique indeed had the right to say such words.

“Primordial Sword Scripture, the sixth move…” Ye Qiubai slightly lifted the Yuncang Sword in his hand and murmured in a low voice, “Ash Fire, Tri-element Purifying Sword!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Ye Qiubai swung his sword to meet Xuanyuan Che’s attack!

However, it was clearly just a single swing.

Yet it resulted in three slashes slashing towards Xuanyuan Che from the left, right, and front!

Where the three swords passed, space itself was ripped open, and atop the torn ruptures, black flames burned incessantly as if they would never extinguish.

Xuanyuan Che’s face became stern.

These three sword strikes, without a doubt, were all genuine attacks.

He understood that if he didn’t block all three slashes, he would be seriously injured…

But blocking them implied giving up his own attack on Ye Qiubai.

With this in mind, Xuanyuan Che’s gaze gradually hardened.

The brave shall win when narrow paths meet!

Giving up his attack at this moment would signify retreat, which did not align with Xuanyuan Che’s nature.

As their faces drew nearer, both could see a smirk filled with battle intent lifting on the corners of each other’s lips.

Under the tense watch of the crowd.

Ye Qiubai’s Tri-element Purifying Sword pierced through Xuanyuan Che’s body.

And Xuanyuan Che’s full-strength sword pierced through Ye Qiubai’s body.

The two seemed to have swapped places, each standing where the other had been.

It’s just that neither of their bodies moved.

This scene lasted for a full five breaths.

Suddenly, three lines of blood burst out from Xuanyuan Che’s chest, blood gushing wildly!

Xuanyuan Che also fell straight down.

At the same time.

A fierce wound on Ye Qiubai’s left chest also burst open, and he, too, with a faltering breath, fell down.

Both suffered injuries!

Yet… in their hearts, there was a notion they dared not admit.

That was Ye Qiubai was stronger than Xuanyuan Che…

To know that, Ye Qiubai was only at the Second Level of Thunder Tribulation, but Xuanyuan Che had already weathered the Fifth Level of Thunder Tribulation!

What if the two were on the same level of cultivation?

What would the outcome be then?

Perhaps only one of them would have fallen today…

PS: Bragged again but didn’t finish… I thought I would be able to catch up in a few days, sorry brothers.

This chapter is the second one from yesterday (I only managed to write one chapter due to rushing for a flight, sorry), totaling 17 chapters owed, adding a little interest and owing three more chapters as punishment for my failure to complete them, making it a total of 20 chapters to be made up.

However, I’ll need to wait until I return home in a few days, these days I’m outside participating in a writers’ association event and can only guarantee a minimum update of two chapters. I’ll make up the rest when I’m back.
