“Old geezer, Yagyu Shinyo is dead. It’s your turn now!”
Ye Chen stood quietly in the air. The wind and snow blew his long hair away, revealing an ordinary face.
However, it was this face that could not be any more ordinary that was like a mountain that stood tall, giving one the feeling of admiring him.
He stood with his hands behind his back. The way he looked at Yagyu Aida was as murderous as hell.
Yagyu Aida stood on a snowy peak across him. His face was calm, and he did not look like the so-called Japanese Sword Saint. Instead, he looked like a scholar.
The two of them looked at each other. It was like in their eyes, only they and their opponent were left in this world, and nothing else mattered to them.
The moment their gazes met, an invisible killing intent filled the place.
At the same time, the wind became stronger, and the snow became thicker.
The fluttering snowflakes grew larger and larger. In the end, they actually drowned the footprints of the people on the ground. The sounds of the wind became more and more intense, as if they were resonating with this world-shocking battle.
Many ordinary people subconsciously shivered and stuck their necks in. They kept warming their hands, and their faces were pale from the cold.
Chilly!
It was bone-chilling!
The cold was very sudden and strange!
Meanwhile, many powerhouses were overwhelmed with shock. Before the battle had even begun, they could already feel the killing intent from the snowstorm. It was overwhelming!
The sudden drop in temperature on Mount Fuji was caused by the murderous aura.
Just the killing intent that leaked could reach such an extent. If the two of them fought, the scene would be unimaginable!
“Are the two powerhouses finally going to fight?”
“Regardless of who wins or loses, this battle is destined to be recorded in history!”
“...”
At that moment, the thousands of people on Mount Fuji raised their heads and looked at the two figures. Different expressions bloomed in their eyes, but there was more anticipation.
At that moment, the entire Mount Fuji fell silent.
The people from the Japanese cultivation world clenched their fists subconsciously. They looked up at the legendary man of Japan. They believed that the Sword Saint would win this battle, even if his opponent was Mad Southern Ye!
On the other hand, Chen Xue, Chen Liu, and the rest held their breaths. These two represented the pinnacle of the battle between Japan and China.
Even Luo Yao and Tang Jianfeng remained silent.
A few seconds later, Yagyu Aida stared at Ye Chen and broke the silence first.
“Young man, rumor has it that the China No.1, Mad Southern Ye, is less than 30 years old. I didn’t believe it before, but now that I’ve seen it, I have to believe it even if I didn’t!”
Ye Chen said nothing. His gaze was as cold as a knife.
Yagyu Aida suddenly let out a long sigh, “You are a genius, a human genius. In time, you might be able to stand at the peak of the world. As your opponent, I’m unwilling to be your enemy, much less kill you!”
There was no doubt in his expression. It was as if he was speaking from his heart, “However, between you and me, we’re no longer limited to personal grudges. We have become a nation, and even a country!”
“Don’t worry. You’re destined to die today!” Ye Chen chuckled softly. The coldness in his eyes did not fade at all.
“Mad Southern Ye, you’re as arrogant as the rumors say!”
Sword Saint Yagyu was not angry. Instead, he laughed out loud and said, “Perhaps you have never been defeated since your debut in China. That’s why you are so arrogant. However, that’s because you’ve never met someone more powerful.
For instance, in a battle between martial venerables, there would be spatial fluctuations, causing turbulence in seas. In a battle between Origin Energy powerhouses, there would be an endless stream of divinities and spells. Those powerhouses would be more powerful than anyone you’ve ever killed, even more powerful than the Hidemoto clan’s god!”
At this point, he took a deep breath in and said firmly, “I forgot to tell you that apart from cultivating the sword, I’m also an ancient martial artist. Three days ago, I was lucky enough to break through to martial venerable. At the same time, I had a comprehension of Sword Dao. Therefore, you’re not my match!
Today, I’ll test my sword with your blood!”
He suddenly took a step forward, and a shocking sword intent emanated from his body.
In an instant, sword intent filled the sky while countless strands of sword qi surrounded him, causing the air around to tremble.
In the eyes of the crowd, Yagyu Aida seemed to have transformed into a huge sword, constantly emitting sword rays towards the sky.
Sword qi swept through heaven and earth, shattering all the snow!
It was Sword Saint Yagyu Aida’s Sword Dao. As a member of the Yagyu family from the third generation of the Japanese Sword Saints, and the only Sword Saint in the world, his Sword Dao had reached perfection.
Boom!
An extremely dazzling bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. Everyone closed their eyes subconsciously. When they looked again, they saw a sword gleam slashing through the air. It cut through the wind and snow and swept at Ye Chen with an extremely sharp killing aura.
The sword had yet to strike, but the sword qi had torn the snow around Ye Chen apart!
Ye Chen stood still facing his sword. There was no spiritual power circulating on his body at all. He only took a glance at the incoming sword gleam.
Just one look, a golden flame suddenly lit up in his pupils. Following that, a golden beam of light shot out from his eyes to meet Yagyu Aida’s sword gleam.
Bang!
With an explosion, a huge ball of fire exploded in the sky. When they looked again, Yagyu Aida’s sword qi had shattered.
“Is this divinity?”
Yagyu Aida’s expression changed slightly when he saw that. The fear he felt towards Ye Chen increased again. He then sneered, “So what if you possessed divinity? My sword has killed an Illuminating God powerhouse before!”
At the next moment, he extended his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air. With a loud bang, he formed a sword with his qi. The sword flickered with silver light and was extremely sharp. A terrifying sword qi whistled from it.
“Mad Southern Ye, this is my self-created Four Swords of Speed!”
Yagyu Aida shouted and slashed again.
It was his true ability as a Sword Saint. He had no doubt that his sword could split any mountain into two. He believed that no matter how powerful Ye Chen’s body was, he would not dare to take it head-on.
The sword gleam expanded to over 30 meters tall under the attack. It charged at Ye Chen like a silver dragon.
Ye Chen lifted his head, a shocking aura erupted from his body. Eventually, he charged at the monstrous sword qi.
“What is he trying to do? Is he trying to take the Sword Saint’s attack?”
“F*ck, is he crazy? One has to know that the power of the Sword Saint’s sword technique is enough to break rivers apart. He actually advanced instead of retreating!”
“...”
Upon seeing Ye Chen’s intention, the people on the ground shouted in shock. They thought Ye Chen was really insane.
