A Clash of Sword Intent

Chapter 82 A Clash of Sword Intent

Ye Yan stopped wasting words with Chen Xin and told Dugu Bo to retreat to the back, while he controlled the invisible sword energy behind him to slash.

This Immortal-Slaying Soul Skill is very useful against other Soul Masters, but Chen Xin, who is also a sword cultivator, can clearly sense the surrounding sword energy and dodge it one by one.

He didn't have time to be amazed at how extraordinary Ye Yan's talent was. Now there was only one thing he had to do: delay Ning Fengzhi and the others for at least an hour to retreat.

When he originally decided to come and hold Ye Yan back, Ning Fengzhi also wanted to stay and help him, but Chen Xin refused.

Although Ning Fengzhi's presence could provide him with a 70% boost, he also understood that Ye Yan would definitely eliminate Ning Fengzhi immediately.

So rather than that, it would be better to let him lead the people of the sect to escape, and Chen Xin naturally couldn't be left unprepared.

Then Chen Xin opened the last barrier in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Once this barrier is opened, only one person can come out alive.

This is a barrier that the formation master Wugen obtained from an ancient ruin, and he also made some modifications to it.

The soul power within the barrier was provided by Ning Fengzhi and other elders who possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, while Chen Xin wore a ring connected to the barrier, which allowed him to absorb the soul power within it to replenish himself.

In battles between Soul Masters, Soul Power is the decisive factor.

Then, Chen Xin began to release his soul power.

"Controlling the sword with internal energy!"

Chen Xin surrounded himself with his Seven Kill Sword, his martial soul, to block the invisible sword energy and tried to condense sword energy around himself to counterattack!

Such soul skills generally consume a huge amount of soul power, and he didn't believe Ye Yan could maintain it indefinitely!

He can recover himself using the soul power within the barrier, but can Ye Yan do the same?

Although this method is not honorable, it is worthwhile if it can solve such a big problem.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"

Behind Chen Xin, a cluster of sword energy also condensed. In terms of soul skills, his was a ten-thousand-year soul skill, while Ye Yan's was a hundred-thousand-year soul skill, so naturally he was inferior.

Then we'll compensate by using a large amount of soul power!

Although it is a combination of ten thousand swords returning to their origin, only a hundred or so sword energies are condensed.

However, it did consume a large amount of Chen Xin's soul power, enough to collide with Ye Yan's sword energy!

Don't underestimate him, this veteran swordsman and titled Douluo!

Outside the barrier, Dugu Bo looked at the situation inside and thought to himself, "How many such barriers has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School built? It would be good if an ordinary mid-level sect could expend all its resources to build just one. Only the wealthy and powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could do that."

He tapped on the barrier, but he knew he couldn't break it with his strength.

Why don't we go and collect some treasures from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Even though he said he came with Ye Yan this time, we can't afford to lose money, right?

Dugu Bo glanced at the situation inside the barrier. Although it looked like a fierce battle with no clear winner, Dugu Bo knew that it was because Ye Yan had not yet used his second martial soul.

Damn it, a gourd full of 100,000-year soul rings, are we going to fight it with our lives?

Therefore, Dugu Bo didn't seem to think Ye Yan would lose, so he decided to search for the treasures of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School first.

Inside the barrier, Chen Xin was still rejoicing because he had broken through Ye Yan's invisible sword energy.

What use are these so-called 100,000-year-old soul skills? They're nothing more than invisible sword energies. What good are they if they're so numerous?

As long as you can see these sword energies, you can block them or even cut them down by using even stronger sword energies to defend against them!

Chen Xin manipulated the sword energy to shatter Ye Yan's sword energy around him faster and faster, and condensed a huge sword energy in the shape of the Seven Kill Sword to stab towards Ye Yan.

"Today, in the name of all living beings, I will slay you!"

The massive sword energy destroyed the surrounding sword energy belonging to Ye Yan and flew straight past.

Just as it was about to strike Ye Yan, Ye Yan's black sword clashed with the sword energy.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Slay Asura!"

Although this move is called "Slaying Asura," to actually slay an Asura, one must become even stronger than the Asura!

A powerful force surged forth like a tidal wave, directly severing the sword energy that Chen Xin had condensed. That force carried unparalleled might, as if it could destroy all obstacles that stood in its way.

Chen Xin's eyes widened. He felt the terror of this power. However, he did not give up. Instead, he continued to try to mobilize the soul power in his body to maintain that sword intent.

"Represent the common people? What qualifications do you have to represent the common people?" Ye Yan sneered.

Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the entire world?

"You are a bloodthirsty killer. Not only did you kill Gu Rong, but you also destroyed Tianhuo City with a single sword strike. Not long ago it was the Haotian Sect, and now it's my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If this is left unchecked, the Douluo Continent will surely face a catastrophe because of your existence!"

"That sounds indignant, and I never deny what I've done, but in this dog-eat-dog world, who can say they are absolutely right or wrong?"

By looking at things from different perspectives, you'll find that there is no right or wrong in this world.

To the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ye Yan was a demon.

But it's also because Ye Yan is incredibly strong!

If there is a conflict between the two sides and Ye Yan is not strong enough, he will definitely be suppressed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or even captured and subjected to inhuman torture.

"You, Chen Xin, dare to say that you've never killed a single person all these years?"

"Nonsense! I was only killing enemies of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to protect it!"

"Yes, from your perspective, you only killed the enemy. So it's the same for me; I only killed those who wanted to kill me. Why, in your eyes, am I a heinous demon?"

Ye Yan's aura surged, severing the sword intent that Chen Xin had been struggling to maintain.

Then Ye Yan made the first move. He flashed like lightning and rushed towards Chen Xin's sword, unleashing a dazzling sword light that slashed at his opponent with boundless power.

Chen Xin was taken aback, surprised that Ye Yan was so fast.

But he had been in the Soul Master world for so many years. After adjusting his mindset, he raised the Seven Kill Sword in his hand and met Ye Yan's black sword.

The two swords clashed, producing a deafening roar. The powerful shockwave spread outwards, causing rocks to tumble down from the surrounding mountains.

For some reason, even though it was a life-or-death situation, Chen Xin's heart, which had been stable for many years, started beating again.

Why is that?

He had faced life-or-death crises before, but he had never been as excited as he was today.

There are many Soul Masters in Douluo Continent, but Sword Cultivators are extremely rare.

Especially those who have cultivated to the level of Title Douluo.

There was no one else besides Chenxin.

Chen Xin looked at Ye Yan not far away and wondered to himself, "Could it be that I have always longed for such a battle?"

I need to take a leave of absence.

I went to drink with a friend for his birthday today, and I'm a bit out of it now. I posted the draft I wrote during the day in the bathroom, so there probably won't be a second chapter. Sorry everyone.

I'll finish writing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School storyline in the next couple of days. I also need to consider how to handle Ning Rongrong's character. Any suggestions in the comments?

I'll check again tomorrow when I'm sober.
