The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 29 The Advantages of Swords

The sword skills Cheng Yue displayed were so powerful that even someone at the peak of the Sword Soul Realm would find it quite difficult to withstand.

But now that he has the Xuanbing Sword, a high-level sword, dealing with Cheng Yue has become much easier.

High-level swords are not only made of special metals with extremely high strength and toughness, but they also contain pure sword energy left by experts at the Sword King level or above, and even sword techniques formed from a trace of divine consciousness.

Even a tiny spark would be enough to deal with Cheng Yue.

Having fought Cheng Yue before, he had gained some understanding of him. Although Cheng Yue's strength and realm surpassed his by a considerable margin, the difference in sword essence was not as great as he had imagined due to the difference in the grade of the sword soul.

He had never underestimated his opponent; rather, Cheng Yue was simply too weak. In today's battle, he didn't even need to use many of his trump cards.

In the blink of an eye, with a thought flashing through his mind, Ye Feng slightly turned his wrist, and the sword energy within his body surged into the Xuanbing Sword.

hum!

A melodious, clear sound rang out, and instantly, a chilling, bone-piercing cold emanated from the Xuanbing Sword, causing Cheng Yue's attack to falter.

In a mere instant, Ye Feng perfectly combined his pure sword essence with the icy properties of the Xuanbing Sword, and drew out a trace of the icy sword energy left behind by the Sword King within the Xuanbing Sword.

The innate sword body is all-encompassing, basically encompassing all the special physiques of the Sword Continent. Combined with the Heavenly-level sword soul condensed by Ye Feng, it easily gained the recognition of the Xuanbing Sword.

That is why, while it might be extremely difficult for others to evoke this resonance, it is something that Ye Feng can accomplish in an instant.

"How is that possible..."

Su Qingxue, standing in the stands, stared blankly, her fair and beautiful face filled with disbelief.

This Xuanbing Sword is a famous high-level sword of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect. It was given to her by her grandfather five years ago.

In these five years, not to mention the sword techniques left behind by the Sword King within the Xuanbing Sword, she has been unable to even wield a trace of sword energy.

Today, Ye Feng used the Xuanbing Sword for the first time and triggered the Xuanbing Sword Qi that she had been dreaming of. Even though there was a big difference in their strength, the difference in the strength of their spiritual perception and communication with the Xuanbing Sword was obvious.

But the more this is the case, the greater the gap in talent between the two of them becomes.

"To draw upon the Xuanbing Sword Qi, even you, the owner of the Xuanbing Sword, cannot do that."

Jiang Zhenyue's bright eyes flickered, her voice solemn.

"Reaching the Sword Soul Realm should be enough; my current strength is very weak..."

Thinking that Ye Feng, who was only two years younger than her, possessed strength far surpassing her own, Su Qingxue's self-evaluation was extremely low.

"I'm not at all surprised that Grandpa Su betrothed you to him. It's a pity that my grandfather didn't meet such a gifted person..."

A hint of brilliance flashed in Jiang Zhenyue's bright eyes as she spoke leisurely.

Upon hearing this, for some reason, Su Qingxue felt a sudden tightness in her heart, but then she seemed to remember something, and a complex emotion appeared on her pretty face.

"If you, you vixen, were to seduce him, he would most likely agree..."

"..."

The other disciples of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, as well as some elders who were watching from the shadows, were all shocked and began to whisper among themselves.

The reason is simple: Ye Feng's casual display of skill shattered many people's expectations.

"go!"

Facing the roaring fire dragon, Ye Feng advanced instead of retreating, drawing a sword circle in front of him with his longsword.

Wherever the sword circle passed, the air was frozen, leaving behind a crystal-clear, icy blue layer.

"Mystic Ice Wheel Slash!"

Then, Ye Feng let out a low shout and pushed the Xuanbing Sword in his hand forward. The icy blue sword circle suddenly expanded, transforming into a rotating wheel of ice with sharp edges, spinning to meet the fire dragon.

"Hiss!"

The icy wheel and the fiery dragon collided violently, and a sound of friction from the contact of energies rang out.

Ice and fire, two completely opposite forces, collided and for a moment fell into a stalemate.

The fiery dragon blazed fiercely, attempting to melt the ice wheel, while the ice wheel carried an icy chill, intending to freeze the fiery dragon.

"Break it!"

Seeing that Ye Feng's strength had greatly increased after using the Xuanbing Sword, and that he felt no pressure from Ye Feng with just a casual move, Cheng Yue gritted his teeth and roared, frantically pouring his sword energy into the Crimson Flame Sword in his hand to maintain the power of the fire dragon.

He refused to believe that with his powerful sword energy at the late stage of the Sword Soul Realm, he couldn't outlast a kid at the early stage of the Sword Soul Realm!

Even if it stirred up a trace of sword energy within the Xuanbing Sword, so what?

However, as time went on, Cheng Yue's expression grew increasingly grim.

At this moment, Cheng Yue was shocked to discover that the seemingly thin ice-blue sword wheel that Ye Feng had unleashed was actually exceptionally tough under the continuous icy sword energy of the Xuanbing Sword, and its rotating cutting power was incredibly astonishing.

As time goes by, he is slowly cutting away at his fiery dragon!

"No, this isn't this kid's power; it's the sword technique within the Xuanbing Sword..."

Cheng Yue was both shocked and furious. If he still couldn't realize it by now, then he was being foolish.

This ice wheel is so strange, containing extreme cold and a mysterious cutting power. Such a technique is not something that an ordinary person in the early stage of the Sword Soul Realm can use. It must be a sword technique contained within the Xuanbing Sword.

"Damn it, that bitch Su Qingxue!"

Cheng Yue cursed under his breath, involuntarily shifting the blame to Su Qingxue.

He had originally planned to suppress Ye Feng directly with his powerful sword energy, but he did not expect that Ye Feng would be able to use the power of a high-level sword like the Xuanbing Sword to unleash an attack that was enough to threaten him.

The culprit behind all this is Su Qingxue, who was so meddlesome as to give her Xuanbing Sword to Ye Feng.

"crack!"

A fierce glint flashed in Ye Feng's dark eyes. Seizing the moment when the fiery dragon was weakened by the ice wheel's cutting, his sword energy erupted once more, surging entirely into the Xuanbing Sword.

"Buzz!"

The ice-blue sword wheel immediately shone brightly, its rotation speed increased sharply, and it emitted a piercing shriek. The sharp edge of the ice blade twisted inward suddenly!

"roar!"

The fiery dragon let out a mournful cry of despair as its massive body was brutally shredded by the ice wheel, turning into a shower of sparks.

"puff!"

Cheng Yue's swordsmanship was forcibly broken, and he suffered a backlash. His chest felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, which he then forced down. However, his face had already turned several shades paler.

"Cheng Yue lost...?"

Gasps of surprise erupted from the stands. No one had expected that Cheng Yue's full-force spirit-grade sword technique, Flaming Dragon Break, would be defeated head-on by Ye Feng in this way.

"This kid... has amazing comprehension..."

In a void, Su Xuan looked at Ye Feng, who was completely dominating the arena, and a hint of appreciation and admiration flashed in his eyes.

"With an innate sword body, all meridians are open, and its compatibility with the energy of heaven and earth is unparalleled. It also encompasses many physical constitutions of our Sword Continent, so it is not surprising that it can unleash the power of the Xuanbing Sword."

Su Zhen chuckled, not surprised by Ye Feng's reaction.
