Chapter 751, Autumn water as spirit and sword as soul
In the sky.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden was still in a daze, eyes dull and absent, zoning out once again.
The so-called protests and discontent were as insignificant as the sound of a breeze in her ear.
The guardian Saint turned stiff, and was about to say something.
It was at this time that the bald fatty Sheng Yan shouted aloud, “What are you doing? What? Ah, you don't agree, my big brother was just lazy to fight for a place. Don’t think other people are easy to bully because they are low-key. Those of you who don’t agree, come onto the arena, and my big brother will personally tell you.”
That sentence was as though sprinkling salt into a pot of gurgling oil.
The originally enraged experts’ eyes were red and blazing with anger.
A figure flashed, arriving instantly onto the battle arena.
“Come up for a fight.” The expert drew his sword, the tip pointing at Ye Qingyu from a distance. His aura surged like a sea, like a collapsing mountain, and thoroughly and proudly revealed his power of the peak Immortal Step boundary, as he bellowed, “If I, [Autumn Water Sword God], do not defeat you in one move, I will no longer use a sword in my life again.”
Ye Qingyu remained silent, a pondering look coming onto his face.
There were sounds of disdain and provocation all around.
Almost all experts thought Ye Qingyu was afraid.
“Big brother, big brother, it's time now, make a move, do not keep a low profile, you can't hide yourself anymore.” The bald Sheng Yan persistently made a wink at Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu simply ignored the clamour around him.
He looked at the bald fatty, saying in a suspicious tone, “How can you be so sure that I will be able to beat a top Immortal Step boundary expert? You're not trying to get me up there to be killed, are you?”
“How would I.” The bald fatty shamelessly grinned, “Our brotherly relationship is so strong, how could I do that to you…” Before his voice faded, seeing that Ye Qingyu's expression was growing fierce, the fatty immediately looked serious and reassured him, “Hey, hey just joking, I am very sure that big brother is deeper than you seem, don't ask me why… But at such a time, being low-key is a kind of sin. Many opportunities in the martial arts world have to be fought for yourself. For you and I, it is like rowing a boat upstream, if you stop moving forward you can fall back, there is no retreat. Brother you must not be terrified.”
Ye Qingyu's face darkened.
He was simply speechless facing the fatty.
If this clown were to stand with Commander Wang Lijin of the Light camp, they can be considered as the two fatties with the worst mouth in history.
But…
Ye Qingyu also had to admit that the fatty’s words, although lowly, made somewhat sense.
Also, he had thought of more.
If the dark door was open for only three days, then that meant the trip to the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss would only take three days, and was worth giving a thought. After all, given the current situation, exchanging for the Black Demon Herb for three days of time seemed to be the best way. Moreover, some of the information revealed about the Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] Li Xiaofei made Ye Qingyu somewhat tempted. That year, Li Xiaofei was certain that there were traces of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the 18th district so he took the risk of entering. What was it that made a Quasi-emperor so sure that there are clues on the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the 18th district?
As everyone knew, the emergence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors brought prosperity to the Human Race and allowed the Human Race to stand firmly in the world.
Later, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors disappeared successively. Some people said that they had fallen, and others said they were lost, leading to the decline of the Human Race.
After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the Human Race struggled, and in the long history there were a few times that the Human Race had almost become extinct. The situation was dangerous, and as a result Li Xiaofei risked entering the 18th district in the hopes of recovering the former glory of the Human Race.
Now the door was wide open, and in the condition that it will not affect the assessment task of Heaven Wasteland Domain, it was not absolutely impossible for him to go in to take a look.
Ye Qingyu was not an absolutely stubborn man.
His way of thinking changed with the situation.
On the battle arena.
“Little child, are you afraid? Then get out of the Taowu Mountain Range.”
[Autumn Water Sword God] was aggressive, pointing his long sword insultingly from afar at the middle of Ye Qingyu's eyebrows.
The [Autumn Water Sword God], who was from the sacred land of swordsmanship, the Nameless Mountain Manor, had a contemptuous and indignant expression on his face.
He felt that with his own status and identity, it was a disgrace for him to challenge such a vulnerable opponent. If it were not for a place of entering the dark Door of Life, a child like him did not deserve to stand in front of him, let alone have the chance to fight with him.
The sword light from a distance of hundreds of meters pointed straight in the middle of Ye Qingyu's eyebrows.
Ye Qingyu lifted his head.
Finally, in the midst of the loud disdain and ridicule, he nodded his head.
“Well, then let's fight.”
The moment his voice fell, a pair of purple lightning wings instantly grew on his back, spreading wide.
Purple brilliance flashed across the Taowu Mountain Range.
The power of the chaotic thunder liquid erupted to its fullest, without restraint.
All the noise and ridicule was completely gone at that moment.
The indignant and jealous experts suddenly found that they had made a huge mistake. That pair of purple thunder and lightning wings, as though they represented light and power in the darkness, was like a Fiendgod spreading its wings, its power and chaos affected the qi of all the experts present.
At this moment, under the illumination of the purple light, countless faces of consternation and shock finally felt the counterattack of the youngster who they had ridiculed and mocked.
Flashes of lightning.
Ye Qingyu landed on the arena.
Now that he had decided to accept the invitation of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, he had to show that his power was fitting of this invitation.
“Defeat me in one move? Haha… Then prepare to switch to using a knife in the future.” Ye Qingyu's warm smile concealed a fierce imposing manner. With a backhand grasp in the air, the huge [Blood Drinker Sword] came to his hands. At the same time, he activated the [Limitless Divine Way] to the [Sixth Limit]. His imposing manner was doubled again and again.
A sword slashed out.
[Soul Stealing Heaven Strike].
Ye Qingyu's giant wings shook, turning into flashes of lightning.
The effect of the first move of the [Four Moves of the Unmatched General], the [Soul Stealing Heaven Strike], was multiplied several fold.
Before [Autumn Water Sword God] had reacted, Ye Qingyu had already broken through the field of his sword intent, standing before him. The [Blood Drinker Sword] had already been wrapped in majestic lightning and thunder, as though it had triggered lightning to pour down from the Ninth Heaven.
“Autumn water as the spirit and sword as the soul… Kill!”
Trembling, the [Autumn Water Sword God] resolutely activated and broke out his strongest sword killing move.
Boom!
The giant sword and the divine sword collided.
The [Autumn Water Sword God's] mouth twisted in a sneer. This degree of strength, yet he still wanted to…
En?
No, this is?
The smile on his face froze.
Because the familiar feeling of the yuan qi sword intent swimming around the body, which he had activated out to its fullest, had only reached halfway when he suddenly felt that his body had gone silent, as though sealed. The powerful yuan qi of the sword intent was frozen, and his usual skilful divine sword move was suddenly eliminated as the qi had reached only halfway.
The outcome of a battle between top experts could be decided in one move.
The eruption of the power of [Blood Drinker Sword] made the [Autumn Water Sword God] fail to operate his qi smoothly, and in the middle of administering an Autumn Water Sword move, was powerless to resist the attack. In the end, he spurted out jets of blood and was sent flying away.
“You…” He looked at Ye Qingyu in disbelief before falling unconscious.
Many experts of the Nameless Sword Manor hastily held onto him.
The whole process, from start to finish, ended in seconds.
Everywhere was utterly silenced.
The spectators were all top Immortal Step boundary experts, had plentiful fighting experience, and lightning-like eyesight, but all failed to see how the [Autumn Water Sword God] was defeated. Could it be that the sword of the beggar-like youngster contained some kind of unknown remarkable power? It should be said that the [Autumn Water Sword God], whether it was status, fame, or battle strength, was regarded as one of the strongest of the remaining experts, but even he was sent flying within seconds, leaving the experts who were originally indignant and discontent afraid to go onto the arena again.
And Ye Qingyu no longer wasted time with these people.
Putting away the [Blood Drinker Sword], the lightning wings behind him vibrated. He instantly came to the sky above, confident and elegant as a celestial Immortal, standing side by side with the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.
“Let's go now to come back as soon as possible.” He looked at the guardian Saint and said, “Thank you elder, I am willing to accept the previous condition of Black Demon Herbs. That will be fine.”
At this time, the guardian Saint took a close glance at Ye Qingyu.
He smilingly gave the Black Demon Herbs to Ye Qingyu, “Haha, good, the background of a hero is not important… Young man, I almost misjudged you.”
“And me, and me.” Fatty darted up with a smug look on his face, standing next to Ye Qingyu.
All the major super forces were also looking at Ye Qingyu.
The performance of Ye Qingyu just now was an utter shock to them.
Many people could not see through the beggar-like youngster, but could tell clearly that he did not use all his strength to defeat the [Autumn Water Sword God] and had held back.
It was only now that the people present understood that the youngster was not simple and has been disguising himself all this time. Everyone began to speculate on what kind of identity the youngster had.
Although Lu Li and Yang Wanqu did not see through Ye Qingyu's disguise, but the expression they looked at Ye Qingyu with was of jealousy and disdain, as well as a hint of undisguised strong hostility.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden had chased them down and had almost kill them, so in their eyes the two people, Ye Qingyu and the fatty standing beside the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, were no different to enemies. Sinister light flickered in the duo's eyes as they whispered to each other, clearly not saying anything good.
Ye Qingyu saw the scene and did not speak.
At this point, everything had been settled.
All the places had been decided.
And in the sky, the dark door had also completely stabilized.
“Remember, the dark door is only open for three days, in these three days the 18th district is the least dangerous, you must return in less than three days. If you miss this deadline, you will never be able to come out again. When the danger inside breaks out you are bound to be buried inside.”
The Little Princess of the Black Demon Race spoke again.
After she left such a statement, along with two of the Black Demon Race experts under her command, she chose a dark door to enter.
Ye Qingyu did not know whether it was a misconception or not, but he was surprised to see that before the little girl entered the door she cast a glance toward him with a very strange expression, one that seemed to hold great meaning.
“Go!” The three people of the Sky Meteor Sect followed.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Rays of light flashed, the qualified candidates successively entered the dark Door of Life.
The several guardian Saints released a Saint boundary power, like a vast body of water hanging in the sky, almost sealing the entire Fierce Beast Peak. Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation, upon the sight of this scene, had to put away that thought. Under the joint forces of the several great Saint experts, no one could pass through the dark door.
In the end, Ye Qingyu, Sheng Yan and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden also entered.
What kind of secret is hidden in the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss? Ye Qingyu curiously speculated in his mind.
Then a feeling of weightlessness due to traveling through space and time came. The sight in front of him darkened and the scenery blurred up.
