Chapter 2137: Chapter 2138: Neck and Neck
"Clang!"
A crisp sound rang out, followed by a curved blade emanating endless coldness suddenly appearing in the Ancient Saint’s hand!
Holding the curved blade, the aura surrounding the Ancient Saint transformed, becoming extremely fierce, radiating cold glint. The moment he grasped the blade, he seemed to merge with it, becoming one with the blade, making the Ancient Saint the blade, and the blade the Ancient Saint.
"He has connected with the blade intent!" Ye Fanchen’s expression changed, urgently shouting to Ye Xunhuan, "Xunhuan, be careful, he has connected with the blade intent!"
It is often said that all things in this world possess spirituality, even flowers, grasses, and woods have it, and so too do swords and blades, which may appear lifeless, possess spirituality.
Yet, throughout history, few have achieved connection with the blade intent. After all, blades are man-made, mere weapons, tools for killing, who on earth can evoke their spirituality!
According to Ye Fanchen, only exceptional masters of forging like Ou Yezi could make swords and blades possess spirituality!
No one else has that ability, but who would have thought the Ancient Saint achieved it; two decades of seclusion made him even more formidable.
Actually, even without Ye Fanchen’s reminder, Ye Xunhuan had already sensed the Ancient Saint’s terrifying presence.
He stood there, yet like an incomparably sharp blade, his whole body emitted a soul-stealing aura, making hearts palpitate and tremble!
The Ancient Saint ignored Ye Fanchen entirely, rotating the curved blade in his hand, swiftly releasing thirty-six continuous blade energies!
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Ferocious blade energies pierced through the air like steel wires, incredibly sharp, threatening to leave deep, bone-revealing scars the instant they touched someone!
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s sword swiftly swung out!
"Crash!"
A sword swing sent a whirlwind spiraling around Ye Xunhuan, lifting all debris from the ground into the air!
"Star Shatter by the Sword!"
"Whoosh!"
A golden sword light rushed out like a dragon emerging from water, sweeping with an overpowering force!
Suddenly, low rumbling sounds echoed mid-air, reminiscent of stones clashing together, like someone tossing a stone into a calm lake, causing not just a sound but also ripples of waves!
Terrifying sword and blade energies spread in all directions, forcing everyone to instinctively gather their energy to shield themselves.
In the next moment, before the aftermath dissipated, Ye Xunhuan and the Ancient Saint clashed like black and white whirlwinds, producing a dragon-like ringing sound and sparks in mid-air!
At this moment, both Ye Xunhuan and the Ancient Saint seemed to exert their ultimate speed.
Swords, known as the King of All Weapons, are nimble; the blade edges on both sides can harm, whereas knives are honored with the title of King of All Weapons due to their heavy nature!
One of the nine shorts among the eighteen martial weapons is said to be the knife!
Now, with the curved blade in hand, the Ancient Saint seemed transformed. Each slash carried the weight of Mount Tai, forcing Ye Xunhuan to evade its sharpness!
Though Ye Xunhuan avoided its sharpness, the Ancient Saint’s blade technique continued incessantly like an endless waterfall.
Gongsun Jing, seeing the Ancient Saint completely entangle Ye Xunhuan, even seeming to overpower him, turned his gaze to Ye Fanchen: "Ye Fanchen, let’s see how you escape now!"
With that, Gongsun Jing charged towards Ye Fanchen, wielding his blade.
Gongsun Jing’s movement spurred others to move as well, targeting Olivia.
In an instant, the battle fully erupted!
Gongsun Jing’s attack was extremely fierce, yet despite this, Ye Fanchen, though legless, showed no fear. His cane seemed to merge with him, not only blocking Gongsun Jing’s attacks but sometimes also forcing Gongsun Jing into a state of panic!
"Whoosh!"
Ye Fanchen’s cane waved out, releasing a fierce energy like waves crashing towards Gongsun Jing.
"Break!"
Gongsun Jing shouted lowly, slashing his blade rapidly, while Ye Fanchen’s eyes shot a shrewd gleam. His mouth opened slightly, ejecting a black object like lightning!
"Zoom!"
Gongsun Jing, seeing this black, lightning-like object coming at him, realized it was too late!
"Thud!"
The black object struck Gongsun Jing’s chest, piercing it, causing blood to gush, instantly dyeing his chest red.
The intense pain made Gongsun Jing gasp, his complexion turning somewhat ferocious, his gaze towards Ye Fanchen filled with a bloodthirsty color.
"Ye Fanchen..."
"Don’t think being legless means I’ll let you bully me!" Ye Fanchen coldly said, "Today I’ll show you, even without legs, I can kill you!"
With that, Ye Fanchen thrust his cane forward!
At that moment, Gongsun Jing also moved, swiftly arriving before Ye Fanchen, his blade like a venomous snake emerging, carrying endless cold and death, rapidly towards Ye Fanchen.
Meanwhile, Olivia was exceedingly busy, indeed very busy!
Being encircled, Olivia felt annoyance, though as a woman, it should be chest pain!
Despite being attacked, Olivia wasn’t a pushover. Her blade in her hand seemed imbued with life, emitting a blood-red hue, producing a bizarre and eerie feeling!
Olivia’s blade moved quickly, very quickly!
Being surrounded, she could only move her executioner’s blade swiftly to avoid injury.
Each swing of the executioner’s blade seemed to stir chilling winds, making the surroundings eerie!
At this moment, a muffled sound reverberated mid-air, as Ye Xunhuan and the Ancient Saint flew backward uncontrollably like disconnected kites!
