Puchi!
The Mystic Origin Sword pierced through the head of a rank one monster, the Shadow Leopard. Bei Ling swung the sword in his hand and threw the monster to the side.
"Damn it, it's all that brat's fault. I don't know how to face my brother. I didn't get the Dragon Blood Transformation Fruit and my brother's time to break through to the Qi Refinement Realm has been extended. I heard that Xia Yubing from the Xia Family is about to come out of seclusion."
Bei Ling cursed. However, when he mentioned Xia Yubing, there was a deep sense of fear in his eyes.
When Ye Guchen was ranked first among the seven prodigies, the other six, including his brother Bei Danggui, were all overshadowed by Ye Guchen from the Sword Sect.
But now, Ye Guchen had fallen and Xia Yubing was right behind him.
As a rank five genius, Xia Yubing was already very talented. Adding on the fact that she had inherited the entire inheritance of the North River Sword King, Chu Dongliu, her future was limitless.
"I've heard that the North River Sword King has surpassed the four mortal evolution states. He's a terrifying expert that has crossed the spirit bridge. Now that Xia Yubing has obtained Chu Dongliu's inheritance, I'm afraid she'll become the second Ye Guchen." Bei Ling sighed.
Even his elder brother was incomparably fearful of Xia Yubing, so he was even less qualified to challenge Xia Yubing.
However, at this moment, an extremely sharp Sword Qi shot towards Bei Ling!
"Who!?"
Although this attack caught him off guard, Bei Ling was still a rank four genius. His reaction was fast and he blocked it with the Mystic Origin Sword.
However, what made Bei Ling's expression change slightly was the huge force contained within the Sword Aura. It was so strong that his arm was slightly numb.
"Who are you? I am Bei Ling from the North Family of the Sky River Prefecture," Bei Ling said with a serious tone.
"It's only been a few days and you've already forgotten me?"
A figure wearing a black iron mask slowly appeared in the forest.
"It's you! How is this possible!?"
When Bei Ling saw Ye Guchen, he first blinked in confusion and then screamed in disbelief.
The Ice Fire Cliff was a place where even a Qi Refinement Realm master would have a hard time surviving after falling in.
He couldn't imagine how Ye Guchen came out alive.
"I told you to wait. I didn't expect you to really not leave. You saved me a lot of trouble."
Ye Guchen's finger swiped across his origin ring and the Calamity Dust Sword appeared in his hand. A cold and murderous aura spread out.
"Your aura, could it be …" Bei Ling's face immediately turned ugly.
He wasn't surprised that Ye Gu Chen's cultivation had reached Body Tempering Stage Nine. Instead, he knew that Ye Gu Chen had already refined the Dragon Blood Transformation Fruit.
"Damn it. You've obtained something that you shouldn't have. The price you have to pay is your life!" Bei Ling's murderous intent had reached its peak. He had to kill Ye Gu Chen.
"There's no point in talking. Let's fight." Ye Guchen held the Calamity Dust Sword and stepped forward.
"Hmph, do you think you can fight me just because you've refined the Dragon Blood Transformation Fruit? You haven't even reached the Essence Realm. You're only at the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm. I'll kill you like a dog!"
Bei Ling used the Stormy Sword Technique again. In an instant, sword aura surged out like a huge wave. The surrounding rocks and trees were crushed into dust by the violent sword aura.
If it was before, Ye Guchen would frown when faced with this sword aura.
But now …
"Hmph!"
Ye Guchen let out a cold snort and shook the blood in his body. In an instant, his aura rose and the power of his blood was not much weaker than Bei Ling's.
"How is this possible? Is this guy a monster in human form?" Bei Ling was also shocked by Ye Guchen's blood.
However, his movements did not slow down at all. The Raging Waves Sword Technique swept toward Ye Guchen with a power that could destroy everything.
Ye Guchen held the Calamity Dust Sword in his hand. The sword moved in a mysterious pattern and formed a complete circle.
It was a circle that seemed to be able to contain everything.
"It's this sword technique again. If I can break it once, I can break it again!" Bei Ling was a little wary of Ye Guchen's strange defensive sword technique.
However, when he fought with Ye Guchen previously, he knew that Ye Guchen's cultivation level was far lower than his. Therefore, as long as he used his Essence Qi to shake the sword aura, he could forcefully break the circle.
As the saying goes, a strong person can defeat ten skilled people. This was the principle.
However, just as the smile on Bei Ling's face started to form, it froze as if it had been frozen.
"Impossible!"
Bei Ling screamed hoarsely. This was because he realized that no matter how he activated the Mystic Essence Sword, the Stormy Sword aura it emitted was absorbed by the strange circle like a clay ox entering the sea.
Ye Guchen, who was enduring the pressure of the Stormy Sword aura, did not look as pathetic as before. Only the web between his thumb and forefinger was torn. However, this injury was nothing to a body that had passed the first minor tribulation.
"How long has it been? Your strength has actually increased by so much! Dragon Blood Metamorphosis Fruit! It must be the Dragon Blood Metamorphosis Fruit! Damn it! That was supposed to be an opportunity for me and my brother, but it was snatched away by you!
Bei Ling became even more furious when he saw that his Stormy Swordsmanship could no longer deal with Ye Guchen's strange swordsmanship.
"You're too naive if you want to kill me. I'll let you have a taste of your own sword aura."
The blood in Ye Guchen's body circulated rapidly. He did not feel good after enduring the angry attack of a Level Six Elite.
However, the Tai Chi Sword Technique absorbed all of Bei Ling's Stormy Sword Aura.
Tai Chi was about borrowing strength to attack strength. It was the same whether it was a palm technique, a fist technique, or a sword technique.
"What?!" Bei Ling instinctively felt that something was wrong when he heard Ye Guchen's words.
"The Tai Chi Sword Technique. Borrowing strength to attack strength. Sword, go!"
Ye Guchen shouted. The circle formed by the tip of the sword suddenly disappeared. What followed was a raging wave of Stormy Sword Aura!
Although this Sword Aura was not as powerful as Bei Ling's, it was at least fifty percent as powerful.
Previously, Ye Guchen's cultivation level was too low. Although he had used the Tai Chi Sword Technique, he did not have enough strength to reflect it back. However, now that his strength had increased, Ye Guchen could do it.
"It's a pity that I have to re-cultivate. I have to re-understand all kinds of Sword Will and Sword Principles. Otherwise, if I could fully understand the Tai Chi Sword Technique, I would be able to reflect more than five times the damage." Ye Guchen sighed in his heart.
Although he still had the comprehension of the Sword Demon, he still had to re-understand all kinds of Sword Will. It was impossible for him to fully master it.
Boom!
Although he only had fifty percent of his strength, the Stormy Sword Aura that was reflected still caught Bei Ling off guard. The Sword Aura tore his clothes and shook his organs, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You … You actually injured me?" Bei Ling seemed to be in disbelief.
"No, what I want to do is to kill you!" Ye Guchen shook the dust in his hand. Suddenly, thirteen Weapon Veins lit up.
At the same time, Ye Guchen ignited his blood. The demonic blood-red flame spread from his arm to the Calamity Dust Sword. On the tip of the sword, the blood-red flame was burning.
Swoosh!
Ye Guchen struck with his sword. It was as if a blood-red lightning bolt had formed.
It was the Sword Technique of the Jianghu from his previous life, the Linear Lightning Sword!
Although this Sword Technique was not created by the Jianghu's Top Ten Masters, it was still a top-tier Sword Technique.
Ye Guchen estimated that the Linear Lightning Sword was not weaker than an Innate-stage Sword Technique in terms of quality.
"Oh no!"
Bei Ling roared and used the Diffraction Sword Technique. However, how could such an illusory Sword Technique confuse Ye Guchen?
Pfft!
At the crucial moment, Bei Ling also pushed the Profound Qi in his body to the limit. At the same time, he used the Bei Family's Cloud Steps and moved six inches to the side.
It was this six inches that caused the blood-red Sword Aura that was about to pierce through Bei Ling's heart to shift to his arm that was holding the sword.
"Ah!"
Bei Ling's arm was pierced and a hole was made in his arm bone. However, the most terrifying thing was that there were still blood-red flames around the wound. They continued to burn his blood.
"What kind of flame is this? It can burn flesh. Oh no, let's go!" Bei Ling did not dare to fight with Ye Guchen anymore. He quickly used the Cloud Steps and retreated.
From his point of view, although Ye Guchen was only a Body Refining Realm martial artist, he had all kinds of tricks and strange Sword Techniques. Just the Taichi Sword Technique that could reflect Sword Aura was enough to make Bei Ling wary.
Now that his arm that was holding the sword had been pierced, he could not use the sword smoothly. It would be even harder to kill Ye Guchen.
"You want to leave? You are too naive." How could Ye Guchen let Bei Ling go so easily?
Ye Guchen would never release a tiger back into the mountains, even though Bei Ling was not considered a tiger.
In the central region of the Cloud Valley Mountain, the Red Flame Hunting Team had just finished killing a Rank One Monster. After Ye Guchen fell off the cliff, although Princess Yuanyang was angry, she did not vent her anger on them. Of course, the reward was wasted.
Shan Mu swung his sword and took out the Monster Core from the monster's body. When he turned his head, he saw Su Ya in a daze.
"Su Ya, what's wrong? Are you still thinking about that masked young man?" Shan Mu smiled.
"No, I just … feel that it's a pity. I haven't even seen his true face before he was forced to his death by Bei Ling and the others." Su Ya regained her senses and pouted. She sighed softly.
At this moment, a tragic and hoarse shout suddenly resounded in the forest not far away.
"Damn it, you really have to force me to this extent. You should know that the Bei family is one of the five big families in the Sky River Province. You are just digging your own grave by chasing after me!"
Shan Mu and the others were not unfamiliar with that shrill voice. They had heard it a few days ago.
"It's Bei Ling!"
Shan Mu and Su Ya looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Someone was chasing after Bei Ling!
They had just seen how strong Bei Ling was a few days ago. Whether it was the Diffraction Sword Technique or the Tidal Sword Technique, they were both very powerful.
And now, someone was chasing after Bei Ling.
"I want to kill you. No matter what your background is, I will kill you." A low and slightly hoarse voice rang out. It was like the Grim Reaper from hell.
"This voice, could it be …!"
If Shan Mu and Su Ya were shocked before, then their expressions now were that of horror!
Swoosh swoosh!
Two figures, one in front and one behind. Ye Guchen swung his sword and the sword aura swept out. Bei Ling did not even look at it and used the Cloud Travel Steps to dodge.
"It's really them. How is this possible?"
When they saw Bei Ling and Ye Guchen, Shan Mu and the others confirmed their guesses.
"He's not dead. Not only that, he's chasing after Bei Ling. How did he do it?" Su Ya gritted her teeth and looked at the rapidly moving figure. Her heart was as curious as a cat.
Her footsteps flashed and she tried to catch up. Shan Mu and the others saw this and followed closely behind.
