Chapter 2252: Chapter 2250: A Sword That Amazes

"Humph, you’re nothing special. Even if you’ve defeated Yu Jianzi, Dao Yu, Zhao Tianqi, and Bai Wuji, what does it matter? You’re just an expert of the younger generation. I, Lu Huanzhi, as a martial artist of the older generation, am far stronger than you. In front of me, you’re just a junior!"

Lu Huanzhi swung the Iron Ruler Treasure in his hand, blocking Ye Tianchen’s Sword Qi. At that moment, he was filled with confidence because when Ye Tianchen brandished the Xuanyuan Sword and unleashed Sword Qi, it truly startled Lu Huanzhi, even causing him a bit of panic!

Ye Tianchen was only at the Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, yet when he unleashed his sword, it shocked Lu Huanzhi, giving him a feeling of being irresistible, which was very unsettling. However, Lu Huanzhi still felt that Ye Tianchen couldn’t possibly defeat him. Though his cultivation realm wasn’t high, he was still an older-generation martial artist, a sect leader, with battle strength that was definitely not weak, and rich battle experience. How could he be defeated by Ye Tianchen?

In an instinctive move to defend, when Lu Huanzhi used the Iron Ruler Treasure in his hand to block Ye Tianchen’s Sword Qi, his initially anxious mind finally calmed down. It seemed that by blocking the Sword Qi, it indicated his combat power might not be inferior to Ye Tianchen; he could fight and wouldn’t be defeated!

Listening to Lu Huanzhi’s confident and proud words, Ye Tianchen did not respond but sank his Xuanyuan Sword, channeling a strong physical body power into it. Instantly, the Sword Qi that had fallen on Lu Huanzhi’s Iron Ruler Treasure, though not dissipated, suddenly increased in strength, which was truly astonishing, making Lu Huanzhi feel a heavy sense of killing intent!

"You..." Lu Huanzhi felt the Iron Ruler Treasure in his hand sinking, even letting out a mournful sound as if it was about to shatter instantly!

"Ungrateful, repaying kindness with enmity, death is not regretful!" Ye Tianchen calmly uttered these twelve words!

Puh!

Bang!

A splash of blood erupted, a Blood Mist exploded, and in such disbelief, terror, and unwilling emotions, Lu Huanzhi was utterly killed!

Ye Tianchen stood in mid-air, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, coldly looking around. At this time, those martial artists dressed in night clothes who were besieging the female disciples of Flying Flower Zen Temple, including some martial artists still hiding in the dark, whether young or old, were all incredibly surprised, frozen in place, everyone unable to resist looking at Ye Tianchen. No one expected, the Sect Leader of the White Clothes Sect, an older-generation martial arts expert Lu Huanzhi, would meet his end by being slain in one stroke by Ye Tianchen; it was truly astounding...

"This... how is it possible? Lu Huanzhi was killed just like that?"

"Just one sword? One sword can kill a legacy Sect Leader?"

"Such powerful Sword Qi, with only the same Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, yet annihilating a warrior of identical realm in one strike. This youth’s battle strength is unfathomable..."

"It’s terrifying, although Lu Huanzhi wasn’t the standout among older-generation martial artists, his strength was definitely not low, his battle experience quite ample. How could he be slain by just one sword?"

"It’s unbelievable, Lu Huanzhi, an older-generation martial artist, a sect leader, was killed by a younger-generation martial artist’s sword strike. This young martial artist is simply defying the heavens..."

"Who is this young martial artist?"

"Ye Tianchen!"

"Ye Tianchen? What? It’s him... him..."

"This lad’s origin is unknown, yet he’s so heaven-defying, not only defeating Yu Jianzi, Dao Yu, Zhao Tianqi, but also killing Bai Wuji. Battling four at once, he has become the top young expert in the Northern State Territory!"

"Not only is he the top among young martial artists, based on his duel with older-generation practitioners and ability to kill Lu Huanzhi in one sword stroke, eliminating martial artists of the same cultivation realm is like chopping melons and vegetables!"

"I heard an absolutely unbelievable piece of news about this Ye Tianchen..."

"What news?"

"I’ve heard, I’ve heard... this kid has already fought with the Northern Tyrant!"

"What?"

"This... impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How could that be? The Northern Tyrant is one of the three strongest in the Northern State Territory. Whether amongst the younger martial artists or the older generation, in the entire Northern State Territory, perhaps only Sang Qing and Elder Sanxu could face the Northern Tyrant and survive, right?"

"Yes, now Sang Qing has passed away, and Elder Sanxu isn’t one to engage in fights. So, the Northern Tyrant has become the strongest in the Northern State Territory, but..."

The martial artists who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but start discussing. They were amazed by Ye Tianchen’s combat prowess. Such a young martial artist could slay powerful adversaries of equivalent Cultivation Realm as if it were child’s play, much like slaughtering chickens and dogs. Even Lu Huanzhi, a sect leader, was annihilated by him with a single sword stroke, resulting in both body and soul being destroyed. How astonishing is that?

However, when word spread that Ye Tianchen fought the Northern Tyrant, the martial artists who were already buzzing with discussion found it even harder to believe. Amongst them, the younger martial artists gasped in disbelief. What kind of person is the Northern Tyrant? Yet Ye Tianchen could even fight him? This guy has completely surpassed the realm of young martial artists!

Yu Jianzi and his group are considered prodigies amongst the younger martial artists in the Northern State Territory. Their strength is enough to battle the older generation, but Ye Tianchen’s prowess can be considered the prodigy of prodigies. He can challenge not only the older martial artists, but even the Northern Tyrant, one of the three strongest in the Northern State Territory. How amazing is that?

At this moment, not only were the older martial artists surprised, but the younger generation also gasped heavily, thankful they hadn’t recklessly challenged Ye Tianchen. If they had foolishly charged at him, the battle would likely have ended before it began, and they would have been slain, with their soul and spirit scattering!

Ye Tianchen had just slain Lu Huanzhi with one stroke of his sword. He stood in mid-air, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, blocking the path to Princess Zi Xuan behind him as she concentrated on breaking the formation. At this moment, Princess Zi Xuan felt the power emanating from him and couldn’t help but admire Ye Tianchen in her heart. After a series of fierce battles, he recuperated in just one night and restored his combat power to such a degree. It was truly admirable!

In fact, Ye Tianchen was able to kill Lu Huanzhi in one strike primarily because of his own immense strength. Moreover, another factor was Lu Huanzhi’s carelessness. He didn’t expect Ye Tianchen’s explosive power to be so formidable, capable of eliminating him with a single stroke, resulting in his annihilation. As for Ye Tianchen’s ability to fight the Northern Tyrant, it was because the Northern Tyrant suppressed his own Cultivation Realm, forcibly lowering it to Ye Tianchen’s level, allowing Ye Tianchen to challenge him. Of course, Ye Tianchen’s combat power was already phenomenal, making him the prodigy of prodigies amongst the younger generation, which is an undeniable fact!

"Are you alright?" Princess Zi Xuan, while sensing the weaknesses within the formation, transmitted her thoughts to Ye Tianchen.

"I’m fine. You go ahead. No one will be able to get close enough to chase you. I will protect you!" Ye Tianchen said confidently.

"Right!" For reasons unknown, as long as Ye Tianchen was by her side, Princess Zi Xuan felt an absolute sense of safety without the slightest doubt!

With a swift movement, Princess Zi Xuan quickly slipped through the formation’s opening. Seeing her leave, Ye Tianchen didn’t follow immediately. Instead, he descended from mid-air and stood coldly at the formation’s gap, holding the Xuanyuan Sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Four figures, four night-dressed warriors of Early-stage Martial Saint cultivation level, those who had nearly annihilated Princess Zi Xuan and Senior Sister Jin Hua, appeared before Ye Tianchen. Each wielded different treasures, staring at him coldly. One martial artist said, "Make way, or face annihilation!"

"Just you? I’ll wipe you out with one sword strike!" Ye Tianchen replied disdainfully.

"Seeking death!" A night-dressed martial artist charged forward.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen was enveloped in a murderous aura, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was trembling. In this life-and-death crisis, where any carelessness could lead to the fall of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, Ye Tianchen couldn’t afford to be careless. He had to be assertive. Without a strong and powerful presence, how could he possibly hold back the numerous martial artists in the Northern State Territory eager to eradicate the legacy of the Flying Flower Zen Temple?

Swoosh!

A flash of sword light slashed through. The martial artist who charged at Ye Tianchen met an end of annihilation, slain and turned into a mist of blood. He didn’t even have time to scream. This scene left the other three Early-stage Martial Saint night-dressed warriors stunned and bewildered, utterly shocked and unable to believe that Ye Tianchen killed a formidable warrior of the same cultivation level with a single sword strike, dispersing both body and soul!

Little did they know that even Lu Huanzhi, possessing the same cultivation level as Ye Tianchen and a sect leader with rich battle experience, was slain by a single strike from Ye Tianchen. What could these four possibly withstand?
