CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 145: YOU SURVIVED MY SWORD—IMPRESSIVE

Ye Qingzhou’s Sword of Dao, since its creation, now finally has the chance to truly reveal its unparalleled sharpness before the world.

His previous opponents were too weak, so weak that he didn’t even have the opportunity to make an appearance.

But now, he finally met a worthy target to test his sword against. At this moment, Ye Qingzhou could barely contain the excitement in his heart. As his fingers moved slightly, the Dantian Qi Sea, sealed by the Dragon and Tiger Form, was completely set free.

His immensely strong Martial Arts True Qi instantly transformed into boundless Sword Qi, soaring straight into the sky, with a buzzing resonance that suppressed the entire competition center, resounding endlessly.

As Ye Qingzhou unleashed his Light of Spiritual, the dazzling sword glare was like a radiant sun, hanging above the nine heavens, illuminating all directions.

His Sword Intent soared infinitely, the Six Techniques of Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest, Yin, and Thunder transformed into six massive dragons of Primordial Qi, rising behind Ye Qingzhou.

The six dragons each had antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like an ox, soaring above the nine heavens, stirring clouds and rains, wielding power over the four seas and eight desolations.

"The spring brings life and autumn brings death, this is the Path of Heaven."

"Observe the Path of Heaven, follow the way of Heaven, this move of mine is the Sword of Dao, watch out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingzhou controlled his Qi with his spirit and controlled his sword with Qi. The Famous Blade Xuanjian at his waist had yet to be unsheathed, yet the killing intent already filled the world, the Sword Technique like a mountain overturning the seas, pressing heavily on Niu Taijie.

Since mastering the Undying Essence Skill, Niu Taijie felt this spine-chilling, horrifying sensation for the first time.

In all previous battles, no matter how formidable the opponent, he had never felt danger before.

But now, this sword from Ye Qingzhou, which had not yet been fully unleashed, was suffocating him, instinctively detecting a mortal crisis — he would die!

Alas, Niu Taijie was being suppressed by Ye Qingzhou’s Sword Intent, unable to move. Despite using all his might, he couldn’t move a single finger.

"Argh! Move, damn it!"

Niu Taijie gritted his teeth, frantically shouting in his heart.

The tendons on his knotted muscles burst out one by one, the ferocious Qi inside him boiling endlessly, trying to break free from Ye Qingzhou’s Sword Intent.

Sadly, all struggles were in vain.

The Innate Five Elements, with metal as the master of slaughter.

Ye Qingzhou wielded the Suspended Cutting Sword, bearing the Path of Slaughter of Heaven and Earth.

"The universe rests in the palm, myriad transformations arise from the body."

"Nature, it is also human nature."

"The human heart, it is the mechanism."

Ye Qingzhou’s understanding of this went a step deeper. He was using his own spirit and the Famous Sword in his hand to bear the concept of ’slaughter’, thus gathering everyone’s collective understanding of ’slaughter’.

This was the power he comprehended from ’Literature Carries the Dao’. The so-called ’Dao’ actually referred to the adherence of the human heart.

The Sword of Dao bears the Power of Thought Ability that converges myriad beings, greatly enhancing the potency of techniques.

The Power of Thought Ability is vast and unmatched, with the human path being an endless torrent.

So-called nature, in the end, is just human nature.

And what was borne on Ye Qingzhou’s sword edge at this moment was the Path of Slaughter in the torrent of the human path.

Heaven’s killing intent, shifting stars and changing constellations!

Earth’s killing intent, dragons and snakes rise!

Human’s killing intent, heaven and earth overturn!

Heaven and human act in unison, myriad transformations are set in stone.

Zhhng~

At the instant the Suspended Cutting Sword was unsheathed, the world fell silent, with only the sword hum resonating, the chilling killing intent permeating everyone’s hearts, inducing palpitations.

This sword emerged, all things withered!

The extremely radiant Sword Qi transformed into a vast sword shadow spanning heaven and earth.

And the form of the sword shadow was clearly a magnified version of the Suspended Cutting Sword!

Ye Qingzhou merely waved lightly, and with the momentum of a falling star, the Sword Intent detached and struck towards Niu Taijie from afar.

At this moment, sensing the deadly threat, Niu Taijie had already unleashed all his Qi and Blood.

His skin turned scorching black-red, the Undying Essence Skill inherited from the Ancient War Emperor Chiyou being pushed to its utmost limit.

Alas, in the face of Ye Qingzhou’s Sword of Dao, his struggles were as insignificant as dust, utterly meaningless.

Booming~

The platform was utterly torn apart by the Sword Qi, and after the thunderous roar, only a several-meter-deep crater remained where it stood.

As for Niu Taijie, he was lying at the bottom of the pit at this moment, his body covered in countless wounds, blood gushing like a fountain, eyes rolled back, clearly having lost consciousness.

Ye Qingzhou sheathed his sword and looked down at his fallen opponent with a rare compliment: "To still have a breath of life after taking one of my strikes, you’re quite impressive."

One sword!

Niu Taijie, previously a major contender along with Ye Qingzhou and Qin Haoyu, who rose to prominence in the competition, couldn’t even withstand a single sword from Ye Qingzhou!

With just one sword, the match was decided!

At this moment, even the referee was stunned on the spot, momentarily forgetting to announce the result.

"Lin... Linjiang Team’s Ye Qingzhou wins!"

The referee’s hoarse announcement finally brought the audience back to reality, and soon everyone was in an uproar, the atmosphere nearly hysterical.

"What just happened?"

"Niu Taijie actually lost!"

"Oh my God, Ye Qingzhou really only used one sword!"

"Control at will, Primordial Qi Sword, this is a signature of Martial Arts True Qi! Could it be that he has already advanced to the Professional Level?"

"No wonder he’s sporting a shiny bald head, I thought he was just trying to make a statement, but I didn’t expect he’s already completed Skin Refining Without Leakage!"
