Ye Feng's provocation thoroughly enraged Cheng Ze. He had previously held some reservations, after all, his opponent had displayed astonishing talent during the Talent Assessment, having seven opportunities for rescue. A genius of this caliber would surely attract the attention of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, even to the point of being secretly protected.
At this moment, Cheng Ze could no longer care about such things. It was the first time in his life that he had been so belittled by an opponent, especially considering that Ye Feng's cultivation was clearly several levels above his own.
Upon reaching the late stage of the Origin Martial Realm, the speed of cultivation would slow down significantly due to the need to refine a single attribute of Vital Energy. Each small realm advancement required immense effort.
Facing Ye Feng, Cheng Ze never considered that he might lose, even though the intense battle had drained nearly two-thirds of his Vital Energy.
"Kid, you better hope the Rescue Disciple arrives in time!" Fueled by rage, Cheng Ze changed his initial conservative approach. Since his opponent wanted to finish him off in three moves, he would aim to eliminate one of Ye Feng's rescue opportunities within three moves.
Cheng Ze summoned a tremendous amount of Fire Elemental Energy, igniting flames all over his body as if they were tangible. In an instant, the temperature in the arena surged dramatically.
With the elevated temperature from the Fire Elemental Energy, ordinary martial artists found it hard to withstand. Bai Jing felt beads of sweat instantly form on his forehead as he was overwhelmed by Cheng Ze's terrifying power. As a First Level Yuan Martial Realm martial artist, even from hundreds of feet away, Bai Jing felt an oppressive force so powerful that it left him powerless to resist.
Although other Trial Disciples generally had higher cultivation levels than Bai Jing, they too felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment. It was as if the air around them had evaporated due to the fire clouds emanating from Cheng Ze, making breathing exceedingly difficult.
The seemingly frivolous and arrogant Ye Feng finally appeared serious. However, after sizing up Cheng Ze, who maintained a distance of ten feet from him and sensing his rising momentum, a strange smile crept onto his lips.
This smile fell into Cheng Ze's sight once more and was undoubtedly another form of mockery and provocation. Finally, his anger transformed into blazing flames that flowed into the two short blades he held in his palms.
The azure-white short blades were scorched into a dazzling purplish-red by the thick Fire Elemental Energy. The blades were enveloped in dense fire clouds; with a casual swing, Cheng Ze could stir up vast amounts of fire clouds. The fire clouds intertwined with Blade Qi and extended three inches from the blades, causing these short blades—less than half an arm's length—to instantly transform into long blades about ten feet in length.
Cheng Ze's momentum was astonishing; in contrast, Ye Feng appeared calm and unbothered, his expression serene as if watching a junior disciple practice Martial Technique before him.
"Crimson Cloud Sword Technique: Fire Cloud Slash!" Unable to contain his fury any longer, Cheng Ze poured nearly all of his Vital Energy into both blades. Before Ye Feng could draw his long sword from his waist, he stomped down on a large patch of earth and shot toward Ye Feng like an arrow released from its bow.
As he flew forward with both short blades raised above his head—without any embellishment—he executed a simple yet powerful slash. The searing fire clouds coiled around the blades transformed into two unmatched streams of Blade Qi that swept through the air.
Puff!
The surging Fire Cloud Blade Qi rushed toward Ye Feng in an instant, resembling a fierce beast formed from fire clouds, giving the impression that it could devour Ye Feng completely.
Everyone held their breath, and the arena fell silent. The members of the Demon Squad exchanged glances, unable to imagine that after a fierce battle, Cheng Ze could still unleash such powerful attacks. A sense of worry for Ye Feng began to creep into their hearts, especially for Wang Qin, who couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Ye Feng remained unfazed. His right hand, which had been casually hanging at his waist, suddenly moved. At the same time, the Lingfeng Sword strapped to his waist was drawn out and flew into his hand.
Facing Cheng Ze's terrifying Martial Technique, which surged like a rainbow, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unchanged. Until the tidal wave of Fire Cloud Blade Qi approached him, he abruptly raised the Lingfeng Sword. It seemed as if he only struck out three swords.
These seemingly casual three strikes unleashed a vast expanse of piercing azure sword light, which stood out remarkably amidst the swirling Fire Cloud Blade Qi. In an instant, the sword light intertwined and formed a dense sword net that easily shattered the oncoming Fire Cloud Blade Qi.
The Fire Cloud Blade Qi shattered into pieces. The Blade Qi beast formed from Fire Element True Essence seemed to have encountered its nemesis and suddenly dispersed, spreading away from Ye Feng in both directions.
The residual force of the scattered fire clouds surged toward the forest behind Ye Feng. The trees ravaged by the fire clouds ignited upon contact, turning to charcoal and crashing down in succession, creating a spectacular scene.
The strength of the Fire Cloud Blade Qi was evident from this display. Gasps of astonishment echoed among the crowd as they were not only shocked by Cheng Ze's powerful Martial Technique, but also applauded Ye Feng's astonishing sword skills that effortlessly broke through the Fire Cloud Blade Qi.
"What an impressive Blade Qi Martial Technique! However, it seems that Zhou Jun is even stronger. He didn't seem to exert much effort; just a few simple strikes created such a terrifying defensive sword net."
"Did you see how many swords he struck? I only saw him make three strikes, yet he was able to produce such a vast amount of sword light that easily broke through Cheng Ze's Martial Technique!"
"Now that you mention it, I remember he really did only make three strikes. It's strange; with so much sword light, he should have needed at least a hundred strikes to create that!"
At the moment when the Fire Cloud Blade Qi was shattered, Cheng Ze felt a jolt in his heart. Without thinking twice, he immediately retreated to increase the distance between himself and his opponent.
In an instant, hundreds of sword lights were slashed out, skillfully woven into a sword net. For any martial artist who had studied sword techniques, this was not particularly difficult to describe. However, Ye Feng managed to create such a bizarre sword net in the blink of an eye, despite having only executed three strikes.
What was even more shocking than Ye Feng's astonishing sword skills was that this temporary sword net he had woven clearly captured the flaw in Cheng Ze's Fire Cloud Slash. Each position of the sword net accurately struck the connection point between the Fire Elemental Energy and Blade Qi, causing Cheng Ze's attack to collapse instantly, unable to inflict any damage on his opponent.
As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement while insiders see the trick. Among those present were many swordsmanship experts, but even if they were given an incense stick's worth of time, they would never be able to identify the flaw in Cheng Ze's Fire Cloud Slash.
Cheng Ze's expression changed rapidly; he had initially planned to crush his opponent with his robust Vital Energy and Martial Technique. He never expected Ye Feng's swordsmanship to be so unfathomable, achieving a level where skill overcame brute force!
"What kind of sword technique is this?" he couldn't help but ask, his expression serious.
"The basic sword technique from the Light Splitting Sword Technique!" Ye Feng replied dismissively. "This is just the first move; there are two more. Make good use of these two opportunities because within two moves, I will defeat you!"
"Basic sword technique? Hahaha! Do you think I, Cheng Ze, am an idiot? Such a sophisticated sword move is merely a basic technique? This must be your entire strength! The Fire Cloud Slash is just an appetizer; I won't give you any chances after this!" Cheng Ze scoffed, feeling disdainful. Ye Feng's words instead reassured him; what nonsense about basic sword techniques was merely meant to intimidate him.
"It's just a stroke of luck that you managed to break my attack. I don't believe you can withstand my other assaults!" The more Cheng Ze thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.
Ye Feng shook his head; only he knew that this was indeed a basic sword technique from the Light Splitting Sword Technique. The essence of the Light Splitting Sword Technique is to transform one into three and three into myriad things. To an ordinary person, it seemed like he had slashed out three swords in a breath; in reality, these three swords contained the power of hundreds. Moreover, due to the Soul Thought's perception, each beam of sword light could accurately strike at the flaws in Cheng Ze's Fire Cloud Blade Qi, easily neutralizing the threat.
Cheng Ze regained his confidence and unleashed his Vital Energy again. His eyes narrowed into slits as he slightly spread his legs and lifted his short blade. The surging Fire Elemental Energy once again gathered into the short blade. This time, not only did the blade grow significantly longer, but at its tip, the Fire Elemental Energy gathered and compressed, gradually forming a fearsome beast head constructed from Vital Energy.
Upon closer inspection, everyone felt a chill run down their spines because what was gathering at the blade's tip was clearly the head of a fire dragon. The dragon head was formed with exquisite detail as if it truly existed—sharp fangs, dragon eyes the size of bells, and two dragon whiskers fluttering from its mouth—all vividly lifelike. As soon as the dragon head coalesced, it let out a thunderous roar that was terrifying.
"Crimson Flame Blade Technique: Fire Dragon Condensation!"
Ye Feng glanced at the two fire dragon heads perched on the tip of Cheng Ze's short blade and felt genuinely surprised. Generally speaking, only higher-tier True Essence could take form like this; it was difficult for powers at the level of Vital Energy to condense such a lifelike entity. The Fire Dragon Condensation that Cheng Ze was about to unleash would likely possess considerable power and might not be as easy to handle as before.
Sweat beads the size of fists emerged on Cheng Ze's forehead, and his legs trembled slightly. It was evident that he had nearly exhausted all his Vital Energy to execute this lethal move.
Rather than waiting for his opponent to prepare thoroughly and launch a perfect strike, Ye Feng decided to take the initiative and disrupt the attack. With this in mind, he shook his longsword and resolved to strike first.
His figure flickered, and with the Wind Treading Step, Ye Feng lunged forward with both his body and sword. At the same time, the Lingfeng Sword drew three arcs in the air, creating a vast expanse of sword light.
"Tide Sound Sword Technique! Three Lives, Tidal Waves, countless waves surging!"
This was Ye Feng's first time showcasing the improved Tide Sound Sword Technique in front of others.
The Tide Sound Sword Technique originated from the Yellow Rank ordinary fist technique, Tide Sound Palm, of the Dragon Tiger Sect. He had previously adapted it cleverly into swordsmanship, achieving remarkable success. Since advancing to the Gangwu Realm, however, he had abandoned the Tide Sound Sword Technique due to its low tier. After all, using True Essence Power to execute it would limit him by its inferior sword moves and prevent him from unleashing the full power of True Essence.
After sealing Thunder True Essence and returning to the Origin Martial Realm, Ye Feng picked up this sword technique again, combining it with his understanding of the Light Splitting Sword Technique for further refinement.
The Light Splitting Sword Technique emphasizes one life becoming three, and three lives giving rise to all things. The Tide Sound Palm Technique originally had three sounds; when transformed into a sword technique, it became the Three Tidal Sounds. By merging the foundational sword skills of Light Splitting Sword Technique into Tide Sound Sword Technique, Ye Feng created this new move: Three Lives, Tidal Waves.
The fierce sword light instantly obscured the entire sky. It seemed as if countless ocean waves surged forth from thin air, one wave after another. The space between the two appeared completely engulfed by an incoming tide. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these waves were entirely composed of water-blue sword light, seamlessly connecting as if they formed a single entity.
"What kind of sword move is this!" No one knew that above the jungle, three figures hovered in mid-air. At that moment, one of them suddenly exclaimed, "This young man's sword move is remarkably similar to the Waves of the Ten Thousand Tides Sword Technique from that senior swordsman of Eastern Ridge Sword Pavilion!"
