Zhu Hao's face stiffened. Ye Chen's strength was far more powerful than he had imagined. The Black Demonic Lotus was too strange and overbearing. It was like an endless whirlpool that wanted to devour him, leaving him no room to breathe.
"Vanquish Evil!"
With a furious roar, the longsword in Zhu Hao's hand emitted a dazzling sword light that swept towards the sky. Every sword light contained an overwhelming righteous aura. When they collided with the Black Demonic Lotus, a surging shockwave burst out, causing the space to tremble.
Ye Chen stood in the void, unmoved. His body slightly rotated in the void, his arms were suspended in the air, and he punched down again. Boundless moonlight spread out, and in the blue sky, a bright moon was condensed. The Crescent Moon.
"Break!"
The fist collided with the sword light, and the sword light was instantly torn apart. However, Ye Chen's fists were still punching towards Zhu Hao. At this moment, Zhu Hao's face had become incomparably pale. His True Energy spread out, and he wanted to block Ye Chen's attack, but it was instantly disintegrated.
The current Ye Chen was too powerful. After stepping into the Ninth Heavenly Layer, he had completely displayed his terrifying talent.
"Vanquish Evil with a Sword!"
The longsword trembled slightly, and a demonic figure bloomed. Sword light madly soared into the sky, and blasted towards Ye Chen.
If one were to pay close attention, they would be shocked to discover that within the sword light, there was a faint green brilliance. It was like smoke, like fog, and it seemed to be able to crush the space.
This longsword was a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.
Zhu Hao had already been forced into a fluster by Ye Chen. He no longer cared about being elegant and unrestrained. He only wanted to use his strongest move to kill Ye Chen.
However, at this moment, Ye Chen's eyes were closed. Moonlight spread out from his body, and the crescent moon floating in the sky started to slowly rotate. It seemed as if it had passed through many seasons, and it started to become rounder and rounder. The gap was also starting to be filled up, forming a perfect and flawless moon.
Buzz!
The moonlight permeated the air, enveloping this entire space. Everything was filled with a gentle glow. Although that sword light was incomparably sharp, it had no way to slice through the moonlight and entered a stalemate. This caused Zhu Hao's heart to tremble. This moonlight was too strange. What cultivation art did Ye Chen obtain from the Sealing Stone Monument?
"We've both entered the Sealing Stone Tablet. Why? Why did Ye Chen's strength increase so much while mine is far inferior to his?"
Zhu Hao roared in his heart. As he raised his head, a perfect bright moon appeared in his eyes.
Ye Chen stood before the full moon with a solemn expression. Endless moonlight poured down, falling on his shoulders and his long black hair. He was so handsome, like a demon.
"Full moon!"
A voice rang out from the void. That powerful sword light had not even touched Ye Chen before it was torn to pieces by the fist. The moonlight blasted towards Zhu Hao.
"You want to kill me with a mere fist technique? You must be dreaming!"
Zhu Hao let out a frenzied roar. All of his Spiritual Aether burst out like a bottomless pit. His half-step Saint Plane cultivation was also completely released. He did not hold back at all.
Sword light shot up to the sky from his body. His entire body was shrouded in an aura of righteousness. His gaze was cold, as if he wanted to suppress all evil in the world.
"Vanquish Thousand Swords!"
Zhu Hao roared. Endless sword light seemed to want to annihilate the space. It interweaved into a sword net, completely enveloping the fist. At this moment, Zhu Hao's eyes turned red, as if he had lost all rationality. He stepped forward step by step, and the sword light shattered one after another. He pressed towards Ye Chen.
Vanquish Thousand Swords Codex, exterminating all falsehoods and evil.
Zhu Hao had already cultivated it to the highest level. Every move, every step, could exterminate all living things.
Feeling the terrifying power from Zhu Hao, Ye Chen's eyes turned cold. There was no fear. He punched out. The full moon in the void bloomed with endless moonlight, enveloping both of them. At the same time, it also rushed towards the vast Vanquish Thousand Swords Codex.
Rumble!
The space trembled violently. Spiritual Aether turned into a vortex. Terrifying winds raged. Every one of them was as sharp as a knife. They tore the air apart, making whistling sounds. At the center of the collision, the light was like a blazing sun. No one dared to look directly at it.
"Ah!"
A shrill cry was heard. Veins popped out all over Zhu Hao's body. It was as if his body was about to explode. On his ferocious face, there was madness in his eyes. What's more, his right arm was stretched out. Blood flowed down crazily. He could not even hold the long sword.
He could not imagine that Ye Chen could push him to this extent.
Not far from Zhu Hao, a figure slowly landed. It was Ye Chen.
Compared to Zhu Hao, Ye Chen's situation was not optimistic at the moment. His clothes were torn and there were more than ten sword marks on them. Red blood flowed out and dyed his clothes red. At the same time, his Primary Sea began to tremble.
In the shocking collision just now, there was no winner. Both of them were seriously injured.
But at this moment, if the crowd saw this battle, they would not be able to help but exclaim.
Ye Chen, a person of the Truth Realm, was actually tied with Zhu Hao. No one could have expected such a result. Even Zhu Hao himself was full of shock and disbelief.
"Everyone only knows that there is a peerless genius in the Qinwu Dynasty. His name is Fang Li. Now, he has stepped into the Saint Realm. He is the favorite to win the Imperial Battle. But they don't know that there is another peerless genius after Fang Li. His name is Ye Chen. He is at the Ninth Heaven of the Truth Realm. He is strong enough to fight against a Saint Realm expert."
Suddenly, the ferocious look on Zhu Hao's face gradually dissipated. He suddenly laughed and looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was stunned. What was Zhu Hao trying to say?
"Although I don't want to admit it, Ye Chen, your talent is indeed stronger than mine. If you were given one or two years, maybe you would be able to surpass me. But here, I am not going to give you such a chance."
At the end of his words, Zhu Hao's face became gloomy. A misty light spread out from his body like a gust of wind until it covered the whole space.
This misty light was, of course, the power of the soul.
"Originally, I wanted to rely on the power of 'Evil Punishment Sword Scripture' to cut off your head and wash away the shame of my Zhu family. But now, I have changed my mind. I want to use the means of a Saint to trample you to death. In terms of Zhen Yuan, maybe you are a little better than me. But in terms of soul, you are not my opponent at all. You don't even know what soul power is."
Zhu Hao laughed maniacally, just like a madman. His Spiritual Strength also became crazy, condensing into a Spiritual Sword in the void. There was no high-pitched sword cry, nor was there any sharp Sword Qi. There was only a kind of terrifying power that could penetrate one's heart and penetrate one's soul.
"Go to hell!"
Zhu Hao's hands suddenly pointed. Holding the soul sword, he flew away and instantly arrived in front of Ye Chen.
