Chapter 368: Chapter 367: This Sword Is Worthy of the Title Sword Dao’s Pride
The competition seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
The day was originally somewhat hot, but in the competition arena, it actually felt rather bleak.
“To be honest, I’m somewhat regretting using this precious opportunity to deal with you.
But, it also avoids future troubles.
The trouble you’ve caused me is already enough, today, let’s end it all.”
As he spoke, Shen Ye was already holding a long sword in his hand.
And around him, there seemed to be a strange abnormal phenomenon enveloping him.
This phenomenon would occasionally sway back and forth.
This scene alone made many strong individuals startled.
In scholar cultivation, self-defense is a big issue.
Conventional defensive techniques involve summoning barrier phenomena for defense.
However, some extremely powerful practitioners can freely shape the phenomenon’s form.
And these phenomena can move swiftly with a single thought.
As if forging an armor of phenomena for themselves.
Those who can perform such cultivation techniques are the pinnacle of scholar cultivation.
But that’s not all, Shen Ye’s long sword was sharp, and a momentum had already flowed out.
Fifth Grade Fruit Realm, this is definitely the Fifth Grade Fruit Realm!
Although it was long heard that Shen Ye had stepped into the Fifth Grade Fruit Realm, when truly witnessing it, everyone around was still somewhat shocked.
Shen Ye’s Fifth Grade Fruit Realm is different from that of Yan Country’s Zhu Mingxiang, as Yan Country people consume pills from childhood, and their strength always had its flaws.
With the momentum flowing out, Shen Ye had already struck.
This duel, not only to win, but to win effortlessly and beautifully.
This event could also establish his prestige.
At the same time, it could regain Shen Ye’s lost arrogance.
The Shen Ye who feared no one was coming back.
With the long sword drawn, Shen Ye indeed was the best at combining scholar’s skills with martial artist’s methods.
A phenomenon seemed to be attached to the long sword.
Shen Han responded with his sword, as the sword edges intersected, the phenomenon attached to Shen Ye’s long sword actually transformed into a sword to attack him in an uncanny manner.
The towering mountain descends with colorful clouds, breaking deep clouds, annihilating endlessly.
After exchanging a move, Shen Han immediately retreated.
Slightly focusing, Shen Han merely tested a move, and already understood something.
To deal with Shen Ye, even if he responds with sword techniques, he shouldn’t treat him as a conventional sword cultivator.
This move already put the Shen Family members much at ease.
Madam He already began to smile: “Thought he was so powerful, didn’t expect it would be difficult to take even Ye’Er’s first move.”
Seated on the high seat, Old Dowager Shen’s old face was radiant.
As she observed, she continued to speak with others, boasting about how excellent her grandson Shen Ye was.
And those who were thinking about Shen Han felt a subtle unease.
Honestly, even someone as strong as Shi Yuezhu, who stepped into the Immortal Realm, was seeing such a dual cultivation for the first time.
Others in dual cultivation, usually couldn’t excel in either direction.
But Shen Ye was incredibly proficient in both paths…
Seeing Shen Han retreat, Shen Ye’s face relaxed a bit, continuing his pursuit.
He didn’t intend to give Shen Han a chance to display his skills, winning quickly was his goal.
However, something seemed different about his move.
As he approached Shen Han, that feeling of sluggishness resurfaced.
Although his strength and realm had increased, allowing him to slightly boost his speed, it still had a significant impact.
The swing of the sword was even slower than before, giving Shen Han sufficient time to respond.
Once again, Shen Han responded with the sword edge.
The phenomenon attached to Shen Ye’s long sword was shattered in an instant, fragmenting into shadows…
The power of laws fully unleashed, just the contact of the sword edge immediately shattered the phenomenon.
Despite Shen Ye’s Fifth Grade Fruit Realm strength, his sword’s power was still subtly superior.
Though the phenomenon was destroyed, at least this move of Shen Ye did not fall behind.
However, Shen Ye’s face no longer carried the previous ease.
He always thought that the destruction of his phenomenon was due to his lack of strength and realm.
But now it seems that the means Shen Han used against the phenomenon was difficult to counteract simply by advancing in realm.
On the Shen Family’s side, Old Dowager and Madam He still wore cheerful smiles.
They couldn’t understand much depth, only getting a general sense that Shen Ye was still prevailing.
But in the eyes of many strong practitioners, this scene had already amazed them.
Standing beside Liu Xilan, Ye Tianxing frowned at this moment.
He faced Shen Ye half a month ago and was dazzled by these strange techniques.
Because of this, Ye Tianxing was convinced that Shen Han would inevitably lose, with no doubt about his defeat.
But now, Shen Han destroyed these phenomena with a single sword.
At this moment, Shen Ye’s eyes revealed a seriousness.
Although unwilling to admit it, Shen Han was indeed not an opponent that could be easily defeated.
The competition continued, at least for now, Shen Ye believed that he had not fallen behind.
His expression subtly changed, no longer attacking directly with the phenomenon.
His hands made a pinching motion in mid-air.
Moments later, the shadow of a chess piece fell, a scholar’s skill, and a mental attack technique.
Holding the white knowing the black, the chess piece upon landing binds the mind.
Shen Ye didn’t bear the name of the pride of Sword Dao in vain, besides Holy Words, he was proficient in the Chess Path as well.
At the moment the chess piece landed, Shen Ye moved again.
The mental attack and sword technique unleashed almost simultaneously.
Even among Immortal Realm experts watching their duel, there were several who watched with rapt attention.
Many young talents from the Mountain Sea Academy completely lacked the means to retaliate against Shen Ye’s techniques.
Under mental influence, how could they evade the sword technique?
Shen Ye’s greatest strength was having no weaknesses in either scholarly or martial cultivation.
Who among ordinary scholar cultivators could still attack with a longsword after unleashing techniques?
Only Shen Ye could do it…
The competition arena seemed to grow even more tense.
Compared to other Shen Family juniors, the duel between Shen Han and Shen Ye was a world apart.
The moves that worked flawlessly against others were useless when used against Shen Han.
The seemingly impressive Chess Path mental manipulation had no effect on Shen Han.
Under the power of laws, these mind-confusing techniques were even less effective.
“Ten Thousand Swords Trapping Dragon Momentum.”
Shen Han had no intention of holding back, focusing his mind, and unleashed the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum and sword shadows.
The dense sword shadows resembled a cage, aiming to trap Shen Ye.
Shen Han could easily destroy phenomena.
But Shen Ye didn’t have such mysterious methods, so when making his move, he had to spare a thought.
Summoning several barriers to block these sword shadows.
As the longsword thrust out, an eagle’s cry seemed to emit from his side.
Shen Ye had no intention of holding back.
The world knew that Shen Ye dual cultivated both literature and martial arts, and his swordsmanship was outstanding.
However, compared to the top sword cultivators, people felt he still lagged behind.
But this strike was enough to change people’s perspective.
