Chapter 28 Clash
Chapter 28 Clash
The scabbard and hilt are engraved with exquisite snowflake and ice crystal patterns, exuding a chilling aura and spiritual energy.
Although the longsword was not yet drawn, its chilling, sharp, pure, and icy aura already seemed to lower the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
"Mystic Ice Sword!"
Cheng Yue's expression changed, and the gazes of the many disciples below the stage also shifted, moving back and forth between Su Qingxue and Ye Feng.
This Xuanbing Sword is Su Qingxue's personal sword, a high-ranking weapon. Now, in such a public place, the latter has given her own sword. If you say that the two have an ordinary relationship, then probably no one would believe it.
Looking at the chilling yet spirited longsword before him, Ye Feng felt a warmth in his heart. He didn't act pretentious or arrogant, and after sheathing his own longsword, he reached out and grasped the hilt of the Xuanbing Sword.
It was cool to the touch, but the curve of the hilt fit his hand perfectly. A clear and pure sword energy flowed into his body through his arm. It did not conflict with his own pure yang sword energy. Instead, it gave him a comfortable feeling of yin and yang in harmony.
Thank you.
Ye Feng turned his head and smiled slightly at Su Qingxue in the stands.
Su Qingxue nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on Ye Feng. Her beautiful face showed no expression, but her slightly clenched hands revealed her inner turmoil.
Cheng Yue's expression was grim. He naturally knew the reputation of the Xuanbing Sword. With such a divine weapon, Ye Feng's combat power would definitely increase significantly.
However, even if Ye Feng has a top-tier sword, the difference in strength cannot be completely made up by the sword. Moreover, he has cultivated in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect for many years and has learned a great deal of sword skills and techniques. How could he be inferior to someone who has just entered the sect?
"Let me see what you're really capable of."
Cheng Yue unleashed his full sword energy, stomped his foot, causing the hard ground of the dueling platform to tremble slightly, and shot out like an arrow. His long sword drew a dazzling cold light, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and pierced straight into Ye Feng's chest.
The sword strike was fierce and ruthless, a killing move from the very first strike, clearly showing no mercy.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, his feet remained still, and all the sword energy in his body surged into the Xuanbing Sword in his hand. Then he suddenly raised it, the sword blade not unsheathed, but only partially drawn.
"clang!"
A crisp metallic clang rang out as the Crimson Flame Sword clashed with the Ice-Stained Sword, sparks flying everywhere.
Cheng Yue felt a cold, immense force emanating from the sword, which made his arm slightly numb, and he was startled.
"Such immense power!"
"Sword Soul Realm? How is that possible..."
The person before me is definitely not twenty years old, how could they possess such strength…
Just as Cheng Yue was slightly distracted, Ye Feng flicked his wrist, and the Xuanbing Sword slid off the opponent's sword blade. The scabbard, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, struck Cheng Yue's wrist holding the sword with lightning speed.
Cheng Yue reacted extremely quickly, immediately sheathing his sword and returning to defense, while simultaneously dodging to the side.
The two separated immediately upon contact, each taking two steps back.
In their first encounter, the two were evenly matched.
Ye Feng used his sword sheath to counter Cheng Yue's fierce attack with ease, and even launched a counterattack, but that was because Cheng Yue was somewhat distracted.
"Sword Soul Realm, Ye Feng is actually also at the Sword Soul Realm..."
"His age..."
"..."
"Sword Soul Realm? Ye Feng is probably not even as old as you..."
On the stands, while the disciples were amazed by Ye Feng's strength, Jiang Zhenyue also turned her head repeatedly, her voice filled with disbelief.
In the Sword Continent, very few people can reach the Sword Soul Realm before the age of twenty. Looking at the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, there has only been one Supreme Elder in hundreds of years.
"He was sixteen years old..."
"..."
"No wonder the Supreme Elder values him so highly..."
Cheng Yue's expression turned solemn, and he no longer dared to show the slightest contempt in his eyes. He then let out a low shout, and the sword around him surged. The red light on the Crimson Flame Sword burst forth, and the sharp and scorching flame aura spread out.
"Crimson Flames Burn the Sky!"
Cheng Yue swung his sword down, and the sword light transformed into a raging sea of crimson fire, sweeping towards Ye Feng like a tidal wave. The heatwave rolled in, and even the temperature in the air suddenly rose significantly.
With this sword strike, Cheng Yue unleashed the true power of a late-stage Sword Soul Realm cultivator, perfectly fusing sword intent and sword essence, resulting in astonishing power.
Faced with this powerful sword strike, Ye Feng gripped the hilt with his right hand and gently pushed it with his thumb.
"Clang!"
The Xuanbing Sword is drawn!
A streak of icy blue sword light shot into the sky, and in an instant, the scorching heat on the dueling platform seemed to be cleaved apart by a cold current, and the temperature plummeted.
The sword light was clear and cold like water, yet it contained an indescribable sharpness.
Instead of retreating, Ye Feng advanced, thrusting his sword forward to meet the crimson sea of fire.
There were no dazzling lights or shadows, just a simple, straight thrust.
However, as the sword was thrust out, the void behind Ye Feng distorted slightly, and a pale blue illusory sword shadow appeared and disappeared.
It was Ye Fengtian-level sword soul. With the blessing of the sword soul power, the icy sword energy of the Xuanbing Sword was condensed to the extreme. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be frozen.
"Sizzle..."
The icy blue sword light sliced through the crimson sea of fire with the speed of a sharp blade, striking the tip of the Crimson Flame Sword with perfect precision.
"Click!"
A soft cracking sound rang out.
Cheng Yue's pupils contracted sharply as he felt a chilling sword aura travel along the blade and instantly invade the meridians in his arm.
Without any hesitation, Cheng Yue's sword energy surged wildly within him, resisting the domineering chill.
Ignoring the sharpness of his sword, Ye Feng stepped forward, following closely like a shadow. He changed the move of his Xuanbing Sword from thrusting to slashing, and the icy blue sword light drew an arc, aiming straight for Cheng Yue's throat.
The speed was so fast and the angle so tricky that Cheng Yue had almost no way to avoid it!
However, Cheng Yue was, after all, a late-stage Sword Soul Realm cultivator. Although the Crimson Flame Sword was not as high-grade as the Profound Ice Sword, his sword essence was still much more profound than that of Ye Feng, who was at the early stage of the Sword Soul Realm.
At this critical moment, Cheng Yue suddenly leaned back, and the crimson sword spirit appeared behind him. The Crimson Flame Sword rose from below at an extremely tricky angle, blocking the Xuanbing Sword that was slashing towards his throat.
"clang!"
With another crisp sound, the ice and fire sword energies collided fiercely, bursting out a dazzling light and a shockwave.
In an instant, the Crimson Flame Sword shone brightly, and the scorching heat even forced back some of the cold air emanating from the Mystic Ice Sword.
Seizing this slight opening, Cheng Yue unleashed his full sword energy without holding back!
"Flame Dragon Break!"
The Crimson Flame Sword trembled violently, and the flame runes on its blade seemed to come alive. A ferocious fire dragon, formed entirely of crimson flames, roared from the tip of the sword and lunged at Ye Feng with bared fangs and claws.
That power was more than twice as strong as the Crimson Flame Burning Heaven he had used before!
The fire dragon roared, and the heat wave was so intense that even the ground of the dueling platform was slightly hot. The disciples around the platform all looked surprised.
"Even among spirit-grade sword techniques, the Fiery Dragon Strike is a formidable weapon!"
"This leaf is in danger!"
However, Ye Feng's eyes remained calm as he faced the menacing fire dragon.
