Chapter 325: Chapter 322: Who is Stronger and Who is Weaker

Two Sword Dao Realms, originally both exceptionally difficult Martial Arts Realms to understand, were terrifying enough on their own when simultaneously unleashed, let alone the fact that Ye Xuan managed to fuse the two realms together. Such power was truly earth-shattering and unheard of.

"This young man, his Martial Arts prowess is astonishingly high."

Atop the high platform, several Demon Venerables were whispering to each other, utterly shocked. The Demon Dragon Young Master possessed the Innate Supreme Demon Dragon Bloodline, just a step away from the true Dragon Clan. In contrast, Ye Xuan was detected to merely have an Upper Grade bloodline—a huge disparity in bloodline. Yet, at this moment, it seemed that Ye Xuan was relying on his advantage in Martial Arts to forcibly compensate for his bloodline disadvantage.

"It seems that the champion’s seat is still up for grabs."

The Sky Fox Demon Venerable wore an interested expression.

"There’s a bit of suspense now; this competition has become exciting."

The Demon Dragon Venerable’s gaze remained fixed on Ye Xuan, trying to discern something from him, but in the end, he found nothing. However, he had a vague feeling of familiarity regarding Ye Xuan’s bloodline—an elusive sensation, but very real nonetheless.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t a big deal. After all, many Demon Beasts carried a bit of Dragon Clan Bloodline. Perhaps Ye Xuan was one of them.

Chi Chi Chi...

On the Battle Platform, dazzling sparks appeared in the void as the Demon Dragon Young Master’s aura was shredded. Ye Xuan’s sword intent, continuously bursting forth from within him, enveloped half of the Battle Platform, dispelling the Demon Dragon Young Master’s supremacy and establishing equality.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was as if declaring to all, what it meant to be a peerless Swordsman.

"He seems somewhat capable, with a good aura, but I wonder if his strength matches up, and if he’s qualified to battle with me?"

The Demon Dragon Young Master stared at Ye Xuan, a flicker of disturbance in his eyes, but it was just a brief fluctuation. He slightly lowered his eyelids, acknowledging Ye Xuan’s presence on an equal footing—an indication of his newfound respect for Ye Xuan.

"Try and you’ll know."

Ye Xuan’s face was neither happy nor angry, the Spiritual Edge Sword in his hand slightly trembling, as if, without Ye Xuan taking action, it longed to unsheathe itself and slice through everything before it.

Watching the two fiercely opposed on the stage, everyone held their breath in intense focus, afraid to be lax and miss a spectacular moment.

Such a high-level contest, if missed, would undoubtedly leave a great regret.

The question of Ye Xuan’s strength was no longer the focus of awe. Although some still doubted him, without question, from the looks of it, Ye Xuan’s aura was in no way inferior to the Demon Dragon Young Master’s, and what would likely follow was an epic duel.

The strongest against the strongest.

"Honglian, at first, I thought you were too hasty, but now it doesn’t seem hasty at all. If we don’t secure Ye Xuan soon, the number of women wanting to attach themselves to him later will likely be countless," said the Honglian Envoy, feeling emotional. When she first witnessed the intimate scene between Yu Yi and Ye Xuan at the Skyfire Hall, she found it incredible, but now it seemed that Yu Yi’s actions were spot on. Undoubtedly, Ye Xuan’s potential even surpassed that of the Demon Dragon Young Master.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about; I don’t have any relationship with him."

Yu Yi’s cheeks flushed faintly, then she shook her head. The reality was not as Honglian had seen; she and Ye Xuan did not share an intimate relationship.

However, where would the Honglian Envoy believe this? Not just her, but even the Huoyou Demon Venerable, who had witnessed the same scene, wouldn’t believe it either. To have developed to that stage and still deny any relationship, that seemed a bit too false.

Yet, even as the Honglian Envoy spoke such words to her face, Yu Yi felt a tinge of joy within her. She was also secretly hoping that Ye Xuan would win this ultimate confrontation and claim supreme glory.

At this time, on the Battle Platform, the fight was about to erupt.

"The Demon Dragon Young Master is about to make a move. How strong will his full power be?"

Long Feiying, Gong Ze, and the others fixed their unblinking stares on the stage, eager to witness the limits of the Demon Dragon Young Master. After all, no one had previously managed to test the Demon Dragon Young Master’s bottom line—they were not his match. But now, an opponent had appeared.

"Take my first move—Black Dragon Whirl!"

The buildup was brief, and then the Demon Dragon Young Master made his move. He clenched his hand, and the image of the Black Dragon looming over the Battle Platform suddenly swept down from mid-air, bearing down upon Ye Xuan’s position.

The Battle Platform violently shook, and faint cracks appeared out of nowhere. In an instant, the space around Ye Xuan tensed and collapsed, his body synchronously sinking. The vast Black Dragon’s momentum was incredibly powerful; where it passed, it plowed a deep ravine across the platform, and the ferocious Qi Force caused the onlookers’ scalp to tingle with anxiousness.

Clang!

Ye Xuan drew out the Spiritual Edge Sword in practically no time, embodying the dual Sword Dao Realms. He seemed already in Human Sword Unity with the sword in hand, and as the Spiritual Edge Sword was barely unsheathed, a terrifying edge swept out, covering half of the Battle Platform with wild Sword Qi.

"Triple Sword Power!"

With each swing of the Spiritual Edge Sword, the Sword Qi was unyieldingly fierce and invincible. Under many astounded gazes, it heavily struck towards the Black Dragon spiraling down.

Boom!

The air erupted violently, boiling incessantly, as the terrifying impact created visible ripples of force. The protective screen around the battle platform could no longer withstand the compounded destructive power of the two combatants, shattering with a loud bang. Bits of sword Qi and Qi Force burst out, creating a "rain of light" that fell within the arena.

"Quick, retreat!"

The "rain of light" contained an incredibly formidable destructive force, filling the surrounding audience with dread as they hurriedly waved their weapons, activated their demonic power for defense, yet still, cries of pain rose one after another.

"Impressive, just the first exchange, yet the power is already so terrifying."

Everyone was terrified and quickly distanced themselves from the battle platform. Fortunately, the ones closest to the platform were the top eight contenders who had made it to the top ten. They were naturally unharmed by the aftershocks, managing to block most of them. Otherwise, there would have been more injuries.

Linglong’s gaze didn’t shift from the spectacle on the battle platform; to be precise, she was focused on Ye Xuan, the fellow who time and again had triumphed against stronger opponents.

"Truly worthy of being at the Seventh Grade Demon King realm, his demonic power is overwhelmingly vigorous." Ye Xuan felt an unprecedented pressure emanating from the Demon Dragon Young Master—a dominant force among the younger generation of Sky Demon Mountain was not to be taken lightly. His strength was indeed formidable, and if Ye Xuan didn’t pull out all his stops, he could very well be the one defeated in this contest.

"What an ingenious move, sword force stacking upon each other. But this is just an appetizer, no need to be so tense. Next, I’ll let you experience my true power."

Surprised that Ye Xuan could easily counter his move, the Demon Dragon Young Master didn’t take it to heart, his eyes remaining indifferent as he spoke slowly.

"I’m not nervous. That strike just now was merely a probe." Ye Xuan neither confirmed nor denied, unsure where the other had seen any sign of his nervousness.

"That was just a probe, and it was that strong?"

Many in the crowd were silently incredulous. If that was just probing, what would it be like when they actually went all out? Wouldn’t it be incredibly chaotic?

"How arrogant. I want to see if you truly have the right to speak such words!"

The Demon Dragon Young Master’s gaze turned icy. In his view, Ye Xuan was far too arrogant, showing no restraint before him. Could a significant gap in absolute strength really be bridged with mere tricks?

"Enough talk, Human Sword Unity, Thunder Slash!"

Ye Chen’s pupils almost dyed the same color as the sword light; his figure dashed forward, wrapped in lightning, the Spiritual Edge Sword in his hand cleaving through with an incredibly swift flash of electricity.

"Overlord Dragon Fist!"

The Demon Dragon Young Master, wearing a solemn expression, unleashed a formidable move. The intense force of his punch instantly pierced through the air in front of him.

Bang!

Thunderous sword light collided with the mighty fist force, causing the entire battle platform to tremble. Stones from the platform rose into the air, floating in a strange suspended state. The next moment, the air shook violently like boiling water, with fierce Qi Force radiating in all directions, exploding with a roar.

Under that impact, Ye Xuan’s figure was forced back more than twenty meters.

"Hmph, as expected, all bark and no bite. Fall! Demon Dragon Hundred Soar Kill!"

Seeing Ye Xuan sent flying, the Demon Dragon Young Master showed a trace of scorn. He rocketed into the air, erupting with overwhelming battle intent, his fists raining down like droplets toward Ye Xuan. He unleashed a torrent of demonic power, and with each punch, a dragon-shaped fist force shot out, dense and numerous, blanketing Ye Xuan’s field of vision, sweeping forth relentlessly.

"Thunder Absolute Sword Formation, Infinite Strikes!"

A flash of light sparked in Ye Xuan’s eyes. He stood his ground, facing the oncoming dragon-shaped fist forces, which seemed like a hundred dragons charging. He channeled his True Qi furiously, centering around himself within a twenty-meter radius, forming an ancient Thunder Light Formation. Countless sword Qi surged out like agile Thunder Snakes, wildly scattering as the formation spun, nearly doubling the number of the dragon-shaped fist forces, filling the sky.

Puff, puff, puff, puff!

The dense dragon-shaped fist forces collided with the Thunder Snake sword Qi, mutually annihilating each other, creating a terrifying storm of Qi Force that violently radiated out, battering the protective screen until it was riddled with holes.

Bang!

Ye Xuan, in the center of the Sword Array, was swept by a dragon-shaped fist force, forced back several steps, his chest churning with upheaval, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. However, the Demon Dragon Young Master didn’t fare much better, struck by three of Ye Xuan’s sword Qi, leaving three bloody marks on his body, from which fresh blood seeped out.

The Demon Dragon Young Master was injured!

The spectators were dumbstruck, hardly able to believe the scene before them. In such a fierce and unparalleled duel, the Demon Dragon Young Master no longer held his previous dominance or the air of looking down on the world. Struck by Ye Xuan’s sword Qi, he was undoubtedly knocked off his pedestal, his aura of invincibility shattered, becoming an opponent of comparable strength to Ye Xuan.

It was evident to everyone that the Demon Dragon Young Master wasn’t caught off-guard. It was rather that such a terrifying number of sword Qi was unleashed in one go—anyone else might have been perforated like a sieve, but only a high-level expert like the Demon Dragon Young Master could sustain it with just three strikes.
