Chapter 415: Chapter 412 Fiery Fire Saber Sect

"This kid is pretty average, and you from Evil Wind Cave Heaven couldn’t deal with him, forcing me to step in, which really degrades my status."

Seeing Ye Xuan’s performance, Qiu Tianyuan shook his head too. He had thought that since Ye Xuan was valued highly by Evil Wind Cave Heaven, his strength must be formidable, that he wouldn’t be someone easy to handle. Unexpectedly, it turned out his strength was just mediocre, hardly worth his attention.

"Mr. Qiu, you mustn’t underestimate this kid. He has extraordinary talent and is full of tricks. Carelessness is not an option."

However, Elder Lu didn’t think Ye Xuan was such an easy opponent to deal with. Originally, when Ye Xuan’s cultivation was several levels lower than it was now, he had already managed to kill two geniuses from Evil Wind Cave Heaven. Over time, Ye Xuan’s power had only risen, making him more difficult to deal with.

With Qiu Tianyuan stepping in, however, it should not pose a big problem. After all, for all Ye Xuan’s defiance of natural order, Qiu Tianyuan was ranked twelfth on the Master List, no ordinary character. In the entire Chaotic Sea Domain, only the Young Masters of the two great Fifth Grade Sects could surpass him.

Despite Elder Lu’s words, Qiu Tianyuan still paid no attention. A mere child, could he really turn the heavens upside down?

The third round of the battle began, and Ye Xuan still used ten moves to defeat his opponent, not hastening to end the contest.

After three rounds of combat, out of the original over seven hundred participants, only a quarter remained, less than two hundred people.

Those remaining less than two hundred people were mostly reputable figures in the Chaotic Sea Domain; otherwise, they could not have passed three rounds of contest.

After all, getting through one round might be luck, but winning three matches in a row wasn’t about luck anymore. Nobody could keep winning with just luck; if there was luck, it was because they had the strength to back it up.

Following the end of the third round, the fourth round of fighting swiftly commenced.

Each round of battle was fiercer than the last. The competition in this fourth round was even fiercer, many masters listed on the Master List were eliminated, including those ranked within the top fifty. Several dark horses finally started to emerge.

One of those was unexpectedly a masked Puppet Master, just as Ye Xuan had anticipated. This Puppet Master’s combat power was astonishing; his coordination with his puppet was seamless. During the contest, he defeated a master ranked over twentieth on the Master List, shocking everyone present.

Besides him, Dugu Hao, the Half-Saint Inheritor, was undoubtedly another, but like Ye Xuan, he had also concealed his strength, so he didn’t seem too conspicuous. Moreover, the mysterious white-robed woman who had constantly been monitoring Ye Xuan also proved to be a dark horse, as earlier in the Chaotic Sea Domain she was little known, but now she suddenly defeated someone ranked within the top fifty of the Master List – that naturally qualified as a major dark horse.

By the fourth round, Ye Xuan’s opponent had also grown somewhat stronger than before, but still posed no threat to Ye Xuan. He just slightly increased his strength and completely defeated his opponent.

On another battle platform, Nangong Yao also smoothly defeated her opponent, advancing to the fifth round.

"Sixth match, Ye Xuan versus Fiery Fire Saber Sect!"

After a brief rest, Ye Xuan heard the referee’s shout. As the referee’s voice fell, an immediate murmur of excitement rose in the arena, and numerous eyes quickly shifted towards him, eyes filled with eager anticipation.

The Fiery Fire Saber Sect, ranked twenty-first on the Master List, was one of the top experts in using sabers within the Chaotic Sea Domain, with extraordinary strength.

"It’s the Fiery Fire Saber Sect, looks like that kid’s luck isn’t very good," Qiu Tianyuan laughed, shaking his head. The Fiery Fire Saber Sect was a well-known saber expert on the Master List. Ye Xuan, just a green youth relying on luck to get this far was already remarkable; his good fortune was likely about to end.

"He’s gotten off lightly then."

Elder Lu’s eyes flashed coldly; he did not wish for Ye Xuan to lose here, or else his plan for Qiu Tianyuan to cripple Ye Xuan would be ruined.

Clearly, not many in the crowd were optimistic about Ye Xuan, given that the Fiery Fire Saber Sect had a longtime reputation while Ye Xuan had no fame, and his previous battles were not impressive. This match, eight or nine out of ten, he would lose.

Only those familiar with Ye Xuan’s strength, like Nangong Yao and others, knew that there was probably no suspense in this contest; Ye Xuan was definitely going to win.

On the battle platform, the Fiery Fire Saber Sect stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent as he stared at Ye Xuan and said, "Young man, managing to fight through five rounds and stand in front of me is no simple feat. I am much older than you are and don’t wish to bully you. In this match, I I’ll let you have three moves; within those three, I won’t even draw my saber."

The Fiery Fire Saber Sect saw that Ye Xuan only had the cultivation of a Fifth Grade Martial Sect and shook his head. His offering Ye Xuan three moves wasn’t out of arrogance, but confidence, as defending for three moves without drawing his saber was not difficult for him. Moreover, it could showcase his sportsmanship, so why not do it.

"Not draw the saber within three moves, huh? I’m afraid you’ll draw your saber after the first move."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, noncommittally.

"Hmph, such arrogance, young man! If you can make me draw my saber in the first move, that’s your capability! Go ahead!" The Fiery Fire Saber Sect was somewhat displeased; he kindly gave Ye Xuan an opportunity to train, but the latter didn’t appreciate it, even boldly claiming he’d make him draw his saber in one move, which was utterly arrogant. Did he think he was a top-twenty expert on the Master List?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened, and without wasting words, he summoned his True Qi. With a clang, a rainbow light suddenly appeared behind him as the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword unsheathed, flashing through the void and stabbing out with the speed of a bolt from a bowstring, concentrating all the sword light at one point.

"Not good!"

The Fiery Fire Saber Sect had not yet reacted when Ye Xuan’s sword light had already reached in front of him. In the blink of an eye, it took him by surprise, forcing him to hurriedly raise the sheath of his saber to block in front of him.

Ding!

The clear collision sound rang out, sparks flying everywhere. The Fiery Fire Saber Sect staggered backward, taking more than a dozen steps before he could stabilize his footing. Just as he steadied himself, another slash of Sword Qi came his way—a strike that was unbelievably fast.

No longer daring to be careless, the Fiery Fire Saber Sect drew the Red Battle Blade in his hand. At this point, he couldn’t be bothered about what he had said earlier. Being defeated by Ye Xuan would be a true loss of face; compared to that, losing a bit of dignity was nothing.

Clang, clang, clang!

The Fiery Fire Saber Sect struck with his saber, clashing three times with Ye Xuan’s Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, and dazzling sparks blossomed. However, after just three strikes, the Fiery Fire Saber Sect’s arm was already numb and he almost couldn’t hold his saber steadily—it was extremely strenuous.

"Skyfire One Slash!"

With all his might, the Fiery Fire Saber Sect roared, gripping the saber with both hands; cracks even appeared on the ground under his feet. With one slash, a ferocious and scorching wave of the blade swept out.

Faced with this terrifying killing move, Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged as he directly struck out with his sword. The tide-like Sword Qi shredded the saber light completely in just a moment.

"Fire Shadow Seven Forms!"

Unfazed by his unsuccessful attack, the Fiery Fire Saber Sect advanced towards Ye Xuan step by step, the fire on his blade growing more intense, and with each step, his saber moves exploded fiercely like a volcano. He then swung the Red Battle Blade, releasing hundreds of blazing saber lights, each as fast as lightning, sealing off any escape routes for Ye Xuan.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan stood his ground. Holding the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword horizontally with his right hand, he swept it from left to right, instantly spreading dense Sword Qi, continuously smashing the incoming saber lights, rendering them unable to advance.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

The continuous strikes of the Fiery Fire Saber Sect, in the face of Ye Xuan’s majestic sword prowess, seemed to barely shake him at all. By the time the seventh form came to an end, the Fiery Fire Saber Sect still couldn’t afflict Ye Xuan in the slightest, resulting in a gap in his movements.

Seizing the flaw, Ye Xuan switched to a backhanded stab, piercing through the air like lightning. The Fiery Fire Saber Sect, feeling alarmed, quickly leaped back.

Unfortunately, he was a fraction too slow and the blue sword light cut through his Protective True Qi first. Mid-leap, he was easily sent flying by Ye Xuan, who had just appeared.

"Thank you for letting me win!"

Ye Xuan sheathed his Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword.

"Youth is to be feared indeed!"

The Fiery Fire Saber Sect wore a complex expression, then he shook his head with a hint of shame on his face. He had initially thought Ye Xuan was arrogant; now, it seemed, the arrogant one was himself, underestimating the unfathomable strength of his opponent. He had offered to let Ye Xuan make three moves, which was a joke in hindsight.

The audience was already buzzing with discussion.

"The Fiery Fire Saber Sect has actually lost."

"Yes, the Fiery Fire Saber Sect, being an old-brand master of the Sword Dao, I didn’t expect him to be defeated by an unknown young man."

"That guy is called Ye Xuan, right? To defeat the Fiery Fire Saber Sect, he must have at least the strength of the top fifteen on the Master List; he might even break into the top ten. This dark horse is indeed very dark."

Having defeated the Fiery Fire Saber Sect, Ye Xuan’s fame soared instantly. This victory was unlike the previous ones against other masters; the Fiery Fire Saber Sect was very famous. With his victory over the Fiery Fire Saber Sect, Ye Xuan’s strength in the eyes of people rose several levels.

"This kid does have some abilities."

Mr. Qiu Tianyuan, watching this scene, also narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

"I’ve said before, this kid is probably not simple. When Mr. Qiu faces him later, he must go all out from the start and not give this kid any chance." Elder Lu’s expression was somewhat grim. Although he didn’t want Ye Xuan to lose to the Fiery Fire Saber Sect, he equally didn’t want Ye Xuan to win so effortlessly. If the latter had won miserably, that would have been the best outcome. But now, Ye Xuan doesn’t have a single injury, and the Fiery Fire Saber Sect hadn’t been able to touch him at all.

"Don’t worry. The Fiery Fire Saber Sect was just careless, providing this kid an opportunity and resulting in his utter defeat. I am not him; I will end the fight with the force of a storm," Mr. Qiu Tianyuan stated, a gleam flashing in his eyes as he completely shook off his previous underestimation of Ye Xuan.
