Chapter 407: Chapter 404: The Pinnacle Battle of the Younger Generation

"I refuse to believe that I can’t handle you!"

Wei Qianxiang suppressed the anger in his heart, clasped his hands together, and then suddenly lifted them upward, shouting, "Earth Vein Earth Dragon Break!"

Boom!

In an instant, the ground in front of him cracked open, and an exceptionally majestic yellow earth dragon burst forth from the ground below, pouncing towards Ye Xuan.

The rocks on the body of this earth dragon were incredibly hard. As it broke through the ground, even the terrain in front of Ye Xuan split apart, with large cracks approaching him as if they were alive, quickly closing in on Ye Xuan.

Despite this tremendous offensive, Ye Xuan’s face showed not even a hint of panic. With a casual motion, he drew the Spiritual Edge Sword from behind him, holding a precious sword in each hand. A sword-shaped mark then appeared on his forehead as he crossed the swords and slashed downward.

Boom!

The intersecting sword lights struck the head of the earth dragon, bursting with a shocking roar. To the astonishment of the onlookers, the crossing sword lights split the earth dragon’s head directly apart. Under their watchful gaze, it continued its relentless assault, crushing the earth dragon to pieces, turning it into countless rocks and sands.

Seeing the earth dragon rapidly collapse, Wei Qianxiang’s face changed dramatically. He quickly retreated, just as the crossing sword lights fell onto the ground before him, leaving a deep sword mark and creating a wide chasm.

The sharp sword wind rushed forward, tearing his front clothing once again and leaving behind a series of bloody marks.

"Bastard!"

Wei Qianxiang kept retreating, feeling the burning pain on his chest, his expression now even uglier than before.

He had not anticipated that his supreme technique from Snow Dragon Mountain would be completely ineffective against Ye Xuan, who repeatedly gained the upper hand, turning the tables on him and leaving him disheveled and humiliated.

Had he not been wearing a piece of Quasi-Sovereign grade armor to protect him from some of the Sword Qi, his injuries could have been far worse.

As the Young Master of Snow Dragon Mountain, when had he ever suffered such a massive loss at the hands of his peers? It was utterly preposterous.

However, Ye Xuan said nothing, and a new wave of attack began to envelop him once more. He snapped his fingers repeatedly, shooting out streams of exceedingly sharp Sword Qi Finger Light from his fingertips. These rays of Sword Qi Finger Light punctured through the void, sealing off all of Wei Qianxiang’s retreats.

Clang clang clang clang!

Wei Qianxiang frantically wielded his sword in defense. His blade was fast, blocking most of the Sword Qi Finger Light and emitting a dazzling array of sparks. However, with each block, he was forced to step back. After retreating more than twenty steps, his arm grew numb, and his clothing was riddled with holes. Although they caused no significant damage, it left him in a woefully disheveled state, looking almost like a beggar.

Overcome with rage, Wei Qianxiang suddenly raised his palm. At the same time, his face turned a deep shade of red. The black curved blade at his side began to tremble with an extremely fierce vibration, and its blade turned blurry, as if multiple precious blades were folded together.

"Secret Technique, Shadow God Blade!"

Wei Qianxiang’s face flushed red, and then, after gathering enough strength, he swung his blade fiercely. The multiple blade shadows merged into one in an instant and forcefully cut through the air.

Blade light stacked upon itself in mid-air, outshining the sun in the sky, turning the world into shades of black and white.

After unleashing the Shadow God Blade, a sinister look crossed Wei Qianxiang’s face. This Shadow God Blade was a powerful secret technique he had mastered over many years, as well as his trump card. He never intended to reveal this skill unless it was absolutely necessary, believing he could easily defeat Ye Xuan without it. But now, he had no choice; otherwise, he wouldn’t even get the chance to use it.

"The Shadow God Blade is my trump card technique. I once used it to kill a Half-step Martial Venerate in seconds. Ye Xuan, to fall to this technique is thus your honor. Next, I will let you truly taste the humilation of defeat!"

Wei Qianxiang looked cold and ruthless, shedding all pretense. Only by defeating Ye Xuan could he wash off the humiliation he had endured.

Beside the plaza, Nangong Yao, Zhuo Yanyun, and others had their hearts racing, while Zhonghang Wang sneered, seemingly already envisioning Ye Xuan’s miserable defeat.

Buzz!

As the blade light approached, Ye Xuan too raised his swords, his long black hair whipping about. He pushed the realms of Human Sword Unity and Sword Heart Clarity to their limits, rendering the heavens and earth bleak and silent, the sky turning dark red, covered with dark clouds.

"What a terrifying aura!"

The crowd felt this piercing, sky-reaching intent, and were stunned. They had not expected that even after Wei Qianxiang had used his secret technique, Ye Xuan would still have a card up his sleeve.

The Shadow God Blade unleashed by Wei Qianxiang traveled at an extremely fast speed through the void, as if the very thought had just arisen in everyone’s minds when the overlapping black sword lights had already reached Ye Xuan, cleaving with a momentum that pierces and blasts through everything.

As for Ye Xuan, he had already moved the instant Wei Qianxiang executed the Shadow God Blade. His dual swords danced, whirling like a tornado, his figure plummeting down like a meteor.

Under Ye Xuan’s spinning motion, an arc-shaped sword light was also flung out. This stroke appeared ordinary, containing a hint of golden gleam, but the moment it touched the multiple shadow-like blade lights, part of it was annihilated. As the sword edge struck true, the powerful force of the sword traveled along the blade, completely shattering the blade light into two beams that sprayed out beside Ye Xuan, as if he himself was a rock and the blade light was water, naturally dividing as it flowed around the rock.

This sword split the blade light and charged toward Wei Qianxiang at an astonishing speed.

"Not good!"

In the instant the blade light dissipated, Wei Qianxiang also secretly sighed in dismay. At the start, when Ye Xuan was gathering his momentum, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. From Ye Xuan, he felt an extremely fierce momentum, as if not just him, but even great mountains and rivers could be cleaved in two with a single sword stroke, without a shred of suspense.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Wei Qianxiang’s body vibrated continuously, and protective True Qi burst forth with intense snow-white radiance. This radiance had the tendency to condense into halos, reinforcing his Protective True Qi so much that it appeared to solidify, becoming extremely dense.

Simultaneously, from the Qiankun Ring he wore, a blue gem was taken out. As soon as this blue gem appeared, it was imbued with True Qi. In the next moment, a blue shield layered another level outside his Protective True Qi, completely encasing Wei Qianxiang, unbreakable and airtight.

"This guy really has a lot of defensive artifacts."

Watching Wei Qianxiang variably bolster his defenses, the on-looking crowd couldn’t help but be taken aback. This guy genuinely deserved to be the son of the Sect Master of Snow Dragon Mountain—indeed wealthy and well-equipped, the kind of arsenal not just anyone could compare with.

Crack!

The arc-shaped sword light cleaved onto Wei Qianxiang, immediately tearing through the blue shield and booming against the Protective True Qi, which then resembled tempered glass, cracking down its center and spider-webbing out in all directions, sinking inwards and barely holding together.

The sword light’s hidden power was immense, constantly hammering to break through the Protective True Qi and strike Wei Qianxiang within. However, Wei Qianxiang was not sitting idly by; he pumped up his True Qi, desperately defending, trying to dissipate the remaining sword force.

Half a minute later, the sword light finally dissipated, but Wei Qianxiang had also staggered back a hundred meters, with a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Everyone witnessing this scene took a deep breath. Wei Qianxiang used to be the dashing Young Master of Snow Dragon Mountain, never putting anyone in his eyes, but now he looked miserable, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.

"I almost had my triple defenses broken."

Having finally fended off the sword light, Wei Qianxiang felt a lingering fear. His Protective True Qi and the defenses formed by the blue gem were already breached, leaving only the last layer of Quasi-Sovereign armor. If the final defense had been broken, he would not have just minor wounds but would have been seriously injured.

"Ye Xuan, so that was your strongest strike. I’m sorry to say, you still couldn’t break through my defenses. If you can’t break through, I stand on invincible ground."

Calming himself, Wei Qianxiang felt a surge of annoyance; he hadn’t expected to be forced into such a passive position, which was quite embarrassing. However, it didn’t matter. As long as he could seize the final victory, none of these would count.

The process wasn’t important; the result was what mattered.

"The turtle shell is indeed hard, but do you really think your turtle shell can keep you unbeatable?"

Ye Xuan’s expression was solemn. As he finished speaking, he leaned slightly forward, his arms crossed in front of his chest, both swords placed behind his back, with two points of cold gleam suddenly flashing at the tips of Ye Xuan’s dual swords.

"Dual Sword Flow, Armor-breaking Skill!"

The two precious swords, like meteorites, streaked through mid-air, their twin cold lights intertwining as they shot forward at an astonishing speed.

Faced with the sudden appearance of these two sword lights, the smile on Wei Qianxiang’s face instantly stiffened. All he could do was fully activate his defenses and then raise his blade to block.

Boom!

A crisp sound suddenly echoed as Wei Qianxiang’s curved blade was knocked away, and the two meteor-like sword lights landed fiercely on his body.

Pop!

Centered on Wei Qianxiang, a ferociously unparalleled ripple burst out in all directions. As the ripple exploded, the Protective True Qi in front of him rapidly collapsed, as if forcefully pressed down. The light from the Quasi-Sovereign defense armor fizzled like extinguished fireworks, offering no resistance. Relying only on Protective True Qi, it couldn’t stop the blow— with a "sizzle," the Protective True Qi was torn apart, and Wei Qianxiang’s chest was struck as if by lightning, spewing out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
