Chapter 348: Duel between Swordsmen
The opponents are getting stronger and stronger. In the recent competition, even seeded players such as Li Xunhuan, Sun En, and Lin Chaoying were defeated.
It’s not that the Tianmen disciples are not strong, but that the opponents are too abnormal. Almost every one of them is a child of miracle, and they are equipped with elixirs and magical weapons.
In terms of equipment, Tianmen is not bad. Emperor Shitian can even take out more advanced treasures. But no matter how advanced the equipment is, it ultimately depends on the strength of the user. It is not the case that the higher the better.
Having equipment that is too advanced and not enough skill can sometimes be a bad thing.
However, the Tianmen disciples still won honorably in defeat. Li Xunhuan's state of mind was elevated during the battle, and he realized the art of controlling a sword with telekinesis, eventually becoming a master of hidden weapons.
Sun En and Lin Chaoying also made breakthroughs, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
However, compared to the control of the ladder, their gains seemed insignificant.
The Ladder to Heaven is the foundation of Tianmen. It is the supreme divine object that dominates the future of heaven and earth and must not be lost.
The ninety-fourth game.
Zhang Danfeng from the Tianmen Sect appeared, but met Wan Jianyi, the hidden genius from the Jietian Sword Sect. After a hundred moves of fighting, he was unfortunately defeated by the opponent.
At the critical moment, Tianmen suffered another defeat and the situation became increasingly serious.
In the 95th game, Emperor Shitian sent out the seeded player - Ye Gucheng, one of the top ten players of Tianmen!
Ye Gucheng, one of the most famous swordsmen in the lower world, was called the Lord of Baiyun City. He mastered the unique skills of the immortals from outer space and became extremely sublimated after entering the Heavenly Gate.
Now he has already stepped half a foot into the supreme realm.
It was not difficult for him to break through the Supreme Realm, but he was a sword cultivator and focused on the sword path, so he was not in a hurry to break through the realm.
Emperor Shitian had high hopes for him. Before the battle, he personally taught him secrets and gave him valuable treasures, hoping that he could win the crucial point for Tianmen.
But his opponent was surprising.
Ximen Chuixue!
I never thought that this pair of fateful rivals would meet in another big world.
Ximen Chuxue, after entering the Ladder to Heaven, was recruited as a disciple by the Jietian Sword Sect and trained with all his strength. Now he has broken through to the Supreme Realm.
The two met again without saying much.
After a brief greeting, the two began to compete in momentum.
……
The moonlight is silver, the sky is full of stars, the sky is silent, and everything is quiet.
Under the starry sky, there was nothing but a broad battlefield. The cold wind blew past and the moonlight sprinkled down, rendering the battlefield a cold silver-white.
The palaces in the distance disappeared into the night, like silent giants, watching coldly this peak showdown that was destined to go down in history.
Ye Gucheng stood in a corner of the battlefield, his black clothes as black as ink, his long sword hanging at his side, and his scabbard slightly reflecting the moonlight.
His expression was as cold as a lone peak, with moonlight reflected in his eyes, but his cold eyes made people shudder.
He stood there, as if he had merged into one with the heaven and earth. His entire body was like a peerless divine sword that had not been unsheathed. His edge had not been revealed, but already made people dare not look at him directly.
On the other side, Ximen Chuxue stood with his hands behind his back, his white clothes whiter than snow, and a long sword across his waist.
His temperament is like the snow in winter, cold and murderous, his eyes are deep, as if he sees through everything, but without a trace of emotion.
His body is like a lonely snow-capped mountain. Although quiet, every inch of his muscles contains unparalleled power, waiting to explode at that moment.
Below the battle stage, the spectators held their breath and dared not make the slightest sound, for fear of disrupting the murderous intent solidified between heaven and earth.
"Game start!"
At this moment, the voice of the referee elder rang out.
Ye Gucheng slowly raised his head, his eyes like swords, staring straight at Ximen Chuxue.
His voice was like the cold wind of the sky, clear and sharp: "Brother Ximen, it has been more than ten years since we last met in the lower realm... In today's battle, only one of us can leave standing."
Ximen Chuixue nodded slightly, his tone as calm as a pool of stagnant water: "Only one person can stand at the top of the sword path! This is fate, come on!"
The two men looked at each other, and as their eyes clashed, an invisible sword light seemed to burst out.
The next moment, Ye Gucheng moved.
His figure was like a ray of white light, appearing in an instant, and his long sword was unsheathed. The sword light was like a streak of silk, piercing Ximen Chuxue's throat.
This sword is as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder!
The spectator only felt a flash before his eyes and could no longer see the trajectory of the sword moves.
Ximen Chuxue did not move at all, and only drew his sword when the sword light approached his throat.
A cold light cut through the night sky, and his sword was like the first falling winter snow, gentle and silent, yet carrying deadly murderous intent.
"Zheng——"
The two swords collided, metal clashed, sparks flew.
The two men separated, Ye Gucheng turned around, tapped the ground with his toes, like an eagle spreading its wings to fly, and stabbed out with the sword again.
This sword was as powerful as a meteor falling to the ground, and the tip of the sword was pointing directly at Ximen Chuxue's heart.
Ximen Chuxue was like a snowflake dancing in the wind. He slightly turned his body and avoided Ye Gucheng's sharp sword.
His sword then thrust back, the tip of the sword aiming straight for Ye Gucheng's throat. His movements were so fast that it was hard to keep up with.
The two men's sword moves intertwined in the air at a breathtaking speed.
Amid the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, there was a chill in the air, as if even the surrounding air was frozen.
Every sword strike is exquisite, and every move contains unparalleled attainments in swordsmanship.
The audience was dazzled and their hearts were beating like drums, but they dared not make a sound.
They knew that this was not only a duel, but also a peak contest of kendo.
"Ye Gucheng's sword is like the bright moon in the sky, brilliant yet cold and ruthless." A supreme being in a gray robe whispered, his eyes full of awe.
"Ximen Chuixue's sword is like snow in the cold winter. Although it is calm and gentle, it is filled with murderous intent." Another supreme being responded, his voice trembling.
Just when the two were fighting for the 99th round, Ye Gucheng's sword momentum suddenly changed.
His sword light was like moonlight pouring down, bright and soft, but concealing murderous intent. This move was precisely his unique skill - "Flying Fairy from the Sky".
The sword light seemed to fall from the sky, cutting through the sky and heading straight for Ximen Chuixue.
His figure in the moonlight was like a god descending from heaven, majestic and his sword moves were indescribably fast.
Ximen Chuxue did not retreat, and his sword became extremely light at this moment.
His sword force was like a breeze blowing across the snowy field, seemingly powerless, but the moment the sword light approached him, it turned into an invisible barrier, blocking Ye Gucheng's sword outside.
"Zheng——" With a loud noise, Ye Gucheng's sword was shaken off its trajectory, and it scratched Ximen Chuxue's shoulder, leaving a shallow blood mark.
Ximen Chuixue's sword counterattacked at this time, pointing directly at Ye Gucheng's heart. Ye Gucheng retreated quickly, his toes touching the ground, his body retreating like a wild goose, barely avoiding the sword.
The two men distanced themselves again and stared at each other, the fighting spirit in their eyes unabated.
Everyone was so excited to see such a thrilling showdown.
"These two are truly a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven!"
"Yes, the two have similar strengths, and they are both masters of swordsmanship. If we want to determine the winner, I'm afraid it will take more than a thousand moves!"
"This is the sword master. Each move they make is full of restrained sword energy. Their moves may seem ordinary, but they are actually extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die."
