Chapter 406: Sword Saint Ye Loukai

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Sword Saint Ye Loukai

"Ah!"

The scream echoed in the air. Under Ji Chen’s terrifying Thunderfire Sword Aura, Tan Lie was completely unable to resist. His entire being was cut into dust with this one sword, annihilated in both form and spirit, leaving no trace behind.

"So strong!"

Around Donglin City, many cultivators from the Yu Realm had already arrived and witnessed the scene of Tan Lie being killed with their own eyes.

They couldn’t help but feel astonished. The power of Ji Chen’s sword was beyond what most of them had expected.

"This is the Hundred Victories Marquis, Ji Chen!"

"His aura... his cultivation must have reached the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm!"

"At such a young age with such cultivation, he truly is a top-tier prodigy, only slightly inferior to Murong Lingyun."

The crowd couldn’t help but discuss. They had long heard of Ji Chen’s name, but today was the first time they truly saw him in person.

Compared to their imagination, Ji Chen before them appeared much younger than they expected.

Moreover, his cultivation was much stronger than the rumors had suggested.

"Who else wants to fight?"

Ji Chen sat cross-legged on the city wall, clad in golden armor, looking like a divine general from the Immortal Realm.

His gaze swept across the mountains outside the city, scanning over the Yu Realm cultivators one by one.

Though his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone.

"I’ll fight you!"

A cold snort sounded, and a middle-aged man in battle armor appeared in a flash of light.

He stood with his hands behind him, looking down at Ji Chen with disdain, "Arrogant child, daring to enter the territory of my Yu Realm alone, today, I shall behead you under the starry sky to honor the spirits of those from the Yu Realm who died unjustly at your hands."

"Unjustly?"

Upon hearing his words, Ji Chen couldn’t help but laugh, "In my eyes, they are nothing but invaders, undeserving of sympathy. What injustice is there?"

As his voice fell, he slowly rose to his feet, standing with his hands behind his back on the city wall, glaring at the middle-aged man.

"I won’t engage in verbal sparring with you. Today, let’s settle it with strength."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and as he finished speaking, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Then, his entire aura surged to its peak.

The void grew darker as a terrifying presence spread throughout the heavens and earth.

"Kill!"

With a low shout, the middle-aged man pressed forward, forming a seal technique with his hands.

"Buzz!"

Space trembled, and everyone saw a black lotus materializing high above the city wall.

It was surrounded by a purple mist, emanating a dark glow, and the lotus’s body was inscribed with ancient golden patterns, giving a bizarre and ominous feeling.

"Supreme Profound Demon Lotus!"

This was an Emperor’s Art, the Great Emperor’s Technique, its might not to be underestimated.

The black lotus descended, blotting out the sky, like a massive mountain pressing down on Ji Chen, intending to obliterate him then and there.

"A petty trick."

Ji Chen sneered, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He stood his ground, not even taking a step back, but simply pointed forward with two fingers.

The Great Dao Sword Intent was once again activated, infused with various laws, forming a dreadful Holy Sword Aura that sliced through the sky, slashing toward the black lotus above.

"Boom!"

A dull explosion reverberated, resounding through the heavens and earth.

Space trembled violently, and everyone saw the black lotus being shattered into dust under Ji Chen’s sword, dissipating into nothingness.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man’s face fell in shock, his brows furrowed. He obviously hadn’t expected his attack to be easily neutralized by Ji Chen.

This was no ordinary attack but an Emperor’s Art, one of his three trump cards.

"Kill!"

As he stood there in astonishment, Ji Chen’s icy voice reached his ears.

Behind him, a terrifying killing intent approached, as Ji Chen had somehow appeared behind him.

"Buzz!"

A wave of energy surged with an incisive aura as Ji Chen used his finger as a sword and struck without hesitation.

"Swish!"

A flash of light, and under the eyes of all, Ji Chen’s attack pierced straight through the man’s body.

The terrifying power obliterated the middle-aged man’s form into dust, killing him instantly, leaving no bones behind!

"Is the Yu Realm filled with nothing but weaklings?"

Ji Chen withdrew and stood on the city wall again, sweeping his gaze forward. Though his voice was mild, it rang clear to everyone around.

The Yu Realm cultivators were incensed upon hearing this, wishing to strike Ji Chen down immediately, but clearly, their strength didn’t allow them to do so.

"Young one, don’t be arrogant; let me test you!"

After a brief silence, a cold snort echoed.

Then, another middle-aged man in battle armor stepped forward, appearing in the void before the city wall.

Judging from his aura, this individual’s cultivation was clearly stronger than the previous two who attacked.

Moreover, he had a sword hanging from his waist, and an impressive sharp aura emanated from his brows, marking him as a skilled practitioner of the Sword Dao!

"Sword Saint Ye Loukai!"

Someone exclaimed, instantly recognizing the middle-aged man’s origin.

His name was Ye Loukai, one of the few Sword Dao masters in the Yu Realm, known as the Sword Saint. Few in the world could claim to surpass him in Sword Dao.

With the Yu Realm waging war, Ye Loukai had come, and with his formidable strength, he held the position of City Lord.

"Sword Saint?"

Ji Chen squinted his eyes, meeting the man’s gaze, sizing him up. "A prominent title, but can you truly live up to being called the Sword Saint?"

"Since my cultivation began, I have never lost even a half move in Sword Dao, nor has anyone forced me to use my true power. Before me, none can withstand more than nine swords."

He stood proudly, looking down at Ji Chen, exuding the proud demeanor of a sword cultivator.

"Is that so?"

Ji Chen smiled, "Then today, I wish to witness how capable the so-called Sword Saint of the Yu Realm is."

"Buzz!"

With the sound falling, Ji Chen suddenly stepped forward, arriving in the void before the city wall, standing opposite Ye Loukai with nearly a hundred paces between them.
