Chapter 489: Chapter 486: Three Swords Break the Enemy

You should know that last time at the Punishment Hall, he had not yet taken Ye Xuan seriously, as at that time the latter only got a bit of advantage through a sneak attack. But now, from Ye Xuan, he actually felt a strong sense of threat.

"You cunning little brat, let me suppress you today!"

Chu Kuang would naturally not watch as the Dragon Saliva Fruit was taken by Ye Xuan. The threat that Ye Xuan posed to him was already significant enough; now, if he obtained a Dragon Saliva Fruit as well, how could that be tolerated?

Upon this thought, he had no regard for his unhealed injuries and dashed out. In his opinion, such injuries were of no major concern, and Ye Xuan could not possibly be his match.

The members of the Gentleman Sect also smirked in succession. They all stared at Ye Xuan with covetous eyes. With Chu Kuang entering the fray, Ye Xuan, this minor First Grade Martial Venerable, would undoubtedly be defeated.

"Not afraid of you."

Ye Xuan’s gaze turned cold. The accounts from last time at the Punishment Hall were not yet fully settled; if not for Xue Lingzi’s timely arrival, he would definitely have been plotted against by Chu Kuang and Situ Lie. This debt had not yet been fully settled.

Clang!

Ye Xuan immediately drew the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword from its scabbard and, in mid-air, traced a strange crimson arc, where a fierce sword light streaked through the air and brazenly enveloped Chu Kuang.

Seeing this, Chu Kuang swept out his brush, releasing a straight and rigid Sword Qi, which collided with the sword light with a loud crash.

Hiss!

The Sword Qi was effortlessly torn apart. Chu Kuang’s expression changed, and he quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the slash of sword light.

"Starfire Extinguished!"

Ye Xuan pressed the attack fiercely. The Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword swung out again, and a shocking fireball descended from the sky, accompanied by a rolling Heavenly Thunder.

"Eternal Righteous Qi!"

Chu Kuang bellowed, and a qi shield defense immediately burst forth from his body. This layer of qi shield defense, imbued with a strong sense of righteous energy, enveloped him protectively.

Bang!

The fireball poured down like a wildfire, blocked by Chu Kuang’s qi shield defense. However, his surroundings erupted in a series of crackling sounds, bursting relentlessly.

"Is this kid really so troublesome?"

Feeling the pressure coming from all directions, Chu Kuang took a deep breath, only then realizing the extent of Ye Xuan’s strength. Indeed, he was no longer the person he used to be, and now, to talk of defeating him seemed not to be a simple matter at all.

Moreover, his current state was not very good. He had previously suffered internal injuries from the Crown Prince Feng Yun’s strike, which he had not yet recovered from.

"Illusion Fire Meteor Sword, Meteor Fire Rain!"

Ye Xuan unleashed another move, the power of this second move nearly twice that of the first. As the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword swung out, the fire-based True Yuan immediately split into dozens of strands in the air—each one, burning with dazzling flames. These flames were not ordinary, but contained the power of Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, making their destructive power extremely astonishing.

Hiss Hiss Hiss...

The True Yuan released by Chu Kuang was gradually torn apart, easily defeated by Ye Xuan’s meteor fire rain, appearing as flimsy as paper.

"Not good!"

Realizing this, Chu Kuang’s expression drastically changed. He forcefully stomped on the ground, plunging deep into the earth. Then, from his body, he released a strong surge of righteous energy, forming a solid shield defense in front of him.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

However, even with Chu Kuang’s meticulous defense, he was still pierced through inch by inch by Ye Xuan’s sword moves, and was blasted with large holes.

Having endured such a fierce onslaught, Chu Kuang was forced to retreat continuously. He was just about to withdraw when another flash of sword light appeared before his eyes.

"The third sword, Chaotic Meteor!"

With a fierce shout from Ye Xuan, his third sword move was unleashed. His powerful True Yuan fused with the Sword Qi above his head to form a scorching meteor. The meteor rolled and tumbled, bringing with it a sound like Heavenly Thunder, and plummeted straight down.

Boom!

With no time to defend, the meteor smashed into Chu Kuang’s chest, shattering his righteous protective barrier. With a "puchi," Chu Kuang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying backwards.

Three swords, and Chu Kuang was defeated!

"Elder Brother Chu Kuang!"

The members of the Gentleman Sect rushed forward to help their comrade in the instant Chu Kuang was sent flying, their faces filled with disbelief.

One of the "Six Gentlemen," Chu Kuang, had actually lost to Ye Xuan!

To spread such news would be extraordinary gossip for the Xuantian Sect because the "Six Gentlemen" of the Gentleman Sect were almost synonymous with formidable strength. There were few within the entire Xuantian Sect who could overcome them, and even fewer among the disciples who possessed such ability.

"All of you, get him! Cripple that kid for me!"

Chu Kuang, with an extremely dark expression, bellowed at the members of the Gentleman Sect.

However, even though he said so, not a single one stepped forward; it was clear they knew their own limits. If they were to rush forward and confront Ye Xuan now, it would simply be like acting against the inevitable.

"Ye Xuan, you’re truly impressive. Even Chu Kuang is no match for you."

Among Ye Xuan’s group, only Leng Wusheng had not vied for the Dragon Saliva Fruit. Firstly, because the opponent was too strong and secondly, because there was no opportunity to intervene. At this moment, he had already appeared beside Ye Xuan and drawn the precious blade from his waist.

Had anyone dared to attack, he was definitely ready to lend a hand. If previously Ye Xuan had not been a match for Chu Kuang, he would have intervened without hesitation. After all, they were a team, and the five demons of the Inner Sect were essentially as close as family.

Moreover, Leng Wusheng now held a deep respect for Ye Xuan. He had personally witnessed Ye Xuan’s growth; originally, even he could not defeat Ye Xuan, but within merely a few months, Ye Xuan had grown strong enough to defeat a high-level expert like one of the Gentleman Sect’s Six Gentlemen.

Such progress could only be described as meteoric.

"He was injured beforehand, otherwise the outcome wouldn’t have been so simple."

Ye Xuan shook his head. Chu Kuang’s position as one of the Gentleman Sect’s "Six Gentlemen" meant he was no ordinary person. If it weren’t for the fact that Chu Kuang was probably injured, he shouldn’t have been defeated by Ye Xuan’s three moves of the Illusion Fire Meteor Sword.

"Regardless, it’s your victory. If it were me, even if Chu Kuang was injured, I wouldn’t have won against him. Ye Xuan, I didn’t expect that amidst the struggle of so many, you would be the first to seize the Dragon Saliva Fruit. I’m impressed."

Leng Wusheng looked at Ye Xuan with some envy. Dragon Saliva Fruit was an extraordinarily rare treasure, one that even Xue Lingzi and the others had never managed to capture. Now, the first to claim a Dragon Saliva Fruit was Ye Xuan.

On another front, experts from the Lily Garden and the Longevity Hall, who had initially wanted to make a move against Ye Xuan, also started to hesitate after witnessing him crush Chu Kuang, and dared not act rashly against Ye Xuan.

"Ye Xuan, remember this, I won’t let this matter rest!"

Chu Kuang’s face was extremely dark. To lose to Ye Xuan in front of so many onlookers undoubtedly cost him his reputation and honor. This matter would not end here; he would make sure Ye Xuan wouldn’t walk out of this ancient ruin.
