418: Chapter 418 Sword Intent and Blade Intent!

Everyone present: "???"

Everyone was stunned!

Just a moment ago they were negotiating terms, and now he's going to hit someone?

But soon...

They understood.

Ye Chen wasn't being protective; he was looking for an excuse to take action!

Zhong Buhui had proactively injured Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion—wasn't this just like being handed a pillow when one was feeling drowsy?

The corners of Yan Qingwu's mouth curled up slightly, her eyes full of playfulness.

"This old thing fell for it."

Zhong Buhui narrowed his eyes.

He had lived for decades; what kind of scene had he not witnessed?

He saw through this childish provocation at a glance.

But so what if he saw through it?

The words had been spoken, the person had been injured; was he, the dignified Vice Head of the Zhong Family, supposed to bow his head and admit his mistake in front of so many people?

Impossible!

He stood with his hands behind his back, his True Qi surging like a tide around him, his robes fluttering and snapping despite the lack of wind.

"Fine!"

"The more arrogant you are, the more this old man wants to see..."

"If I kill him, what can you possibly do to me???"

The moment the words fell, he stomped his right foot hard on the ground!

"Boom!!!"

The ground cracked inch by inch, and gravel flew everywhere!

His aged figure, like a streak of gray lightning, shot toward Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion!

The speed was astonishingly fast!

So fast that the vast majority of people present couldn't see his movements at all!

An expert of the Tianyi Realm taking action was truly terrifying!

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's face changed drastically. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that the pressure was still locked onto him, making him unable to move at all.

However...

The next second.

A hand rested on his shoulder and gave a gentle push.

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's entire body took flight, landing steadily three zhang away.

Ye Chen withdrew his hand and met the rapidly approaching gray figure, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Good timing."

He tapped his right foot lightly, and instead of retreating, he advanced, meeting the attack head-on!

The distance between the two closed in an instant!

"Bang!!!"

Fist and palm collided!

A dull impact sounded like muffled thunder exploding over the football field!

An invisible shockwave spread crazily in all directions with the two of them as the center!

The turf on the ground was ripped up by this wave of air, rolling like green waves!

Those wolf cubs standing in the distance were knocked off balance by the shockwave, their cries of surprise rising and falling!

Dust filled the air.

Two figures retreated simultaneously.

Zhong Buhui retreated five steps.

Ye Chen retreated five steps.

Evenly matched!

Zhong Buhui steadied himself, a flash of shock appearing in his eyes as he looked at Ye Chen.

This young man actually took one of his palms head-on?

And...

Unscathed?

He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and moved again!

The second palm!

Carrying even more violent True Qi than before, it struck down toward Ye Chen's head!

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, clenched his right fist, and met it head-on!

"Bang!!!"

Another loud bang!

The air surged!

The ground cracked again!

The two retreated once more.

This time, Zhong Buhui retreated seven steps.

Ye Chen retreated six steps.

Ye Chen had a slight upper hand!

Zhong Buhui's expression changed completely.

He stared fixedly at Ye Chen, his eyes full of disbelief.

How was it possible?

Ye Chen was clearly only in his early twenties; how could he have such terrifying strength?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Even if he started cultivating in the womb, it was impossible to step into the Tianyi Realm at this age!

One must know...

Even in the Kunlun Ruins, Tuoba Xie, known as the number one genius who became a Celestial Master at thirty, couldn't do it...

He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and attacked for the third time!

This time, he no longer held back!

The True Qi in his body poured out like a flood through an open gate, all of it condensing on his right palm!

That palm strike, carrying the momentum to split mountains and shatter rocks, slammed hard toward Ye Chen's chest!

Ye Chen neither dodged nor avoided it, and threw out his right fist once more!

"Boom!!!"

An earth-shattering explosion erupted on the football field!

The aftershocks of this strike were even more violent than the previous two!

The ground completely shattered, gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky!

Those wolf cubs in the distance were forced to the ground by the aftershocks, unable to even lift their heads!

The dust cleared.

Two figures stood ten zhang apart, facing each other from a distance.

Zhong Buhui stood in place, his chest heaving violently, his breathing becoming rapid.

His right hand trembled slightly.

The look in his eyes as he watched Ye Chen was no longer shock, but solemnity.

This young man...

Was too strong!

Ridiculously strong!

Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, that harmless smile still on his face. "Old thing, if this is all you've got, you might really be in for a beating."

Zhong Buhui suppressed the shock in his heart and suddenly laughed.

"Good."

"Very good."

"I have lived for sixty years and seen countless geniuses, but one like you..."

He paused, a flash of admiration appearing in his eyes.

"...is a first for me."

"Ye Chen, I have to say, your talent is beyond imagination."

"If you weren't an enemy, I would even want to recruit you."

Everyone present had strange expressions upon hearing this.

Was he...

Praising Ye Chen?

However...

Hearing this, Ye Chen didn't look happy; instead, he smiled.

"Well, thank you then."

"But in a moment, you'll only want to get rid of me."

As the words fell...

Everyone was stunned once again.

What did he mean?

What did he mean by 'in a moment, you'll only want to get rid of me'?

Zhong Buhui frowned and was about to speak...

Suddenly!

A strange aura radiated from Ye Chen's body!

That aura was invisible and intangible, yet like an invisible blade, it instantly enveloped the entire field!

The next second—

"Buzz!!!"

A strange vibration suddenly rang out!

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they subconsciously looked toward the sound.

Then...

They witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

The training blades and swords worn at the waists of the wolf cubs, the standard-issue weapons carried by the Dragon Group members, the short blades hidden on the persons of the Tianji Pavilion elders...

All metallic weapons were currently trembling violently!

The blades were shaking!

The swords were shaking!

The short blades were shaking!

Even the longsword at Zhong Buhui's waist, which never left his side, was vibrating intensely, emitting a piercing hum!

"What... what's going on?!"

Someone cried out in surprise, their voice trembling.

Zhong Buhui's face changed abruptly, and he subconsciously reached out to press down on the hilt of his sword.

But as soon as his hand touched the hilt, a terrifying force of resistance came from the blade, numbing his palm!

His pupils constricted as he looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.

He saw Ye Chen standing with his hands behind his back, that strange aura around him becoming more and more intense.

The next second.

Those trembling blades and swords broke free from their masters' control in unison and flew toward Ye Chen!

Blades!

Swords!

Short blades!

Over a hundred weapons hovered three zhang behind Ye Chen, their tips and edges all pointing at Zhong Buhui!

That scene was bizarre to the extreme!

Shocking to the extreme!

"Holy crap!!!"

A wolf cub couldn't help but swear, his eyes wider than copper bells.

"What the hell is this move?!"

"Sword control? Or object control?"

"The Chief Instructor even knows this???"

The whole place was in an uproar!

Those wolf cubs were so excited their faces were flushed red, wishing they could rush up and hug Ye Chen's legs.

The surrounding Dragon Group members were also dumbfounded, their eyes full of worship as they looked at Ye Chen.

The several elders of the Tianji Pavilion felt their legs go weak, almost kneeling down again.

Too shocking!

Too awesome!

However...

Zhong Buhui stared fixedly at Ye Chen, his eyes no longer showing shock, but pure terror.

Object control?

No!

This wasn't object control!

He suddenly remembered something, his face changing drastically as he cried out in shock.

"Intent?"

"You've actually comprehended Intent???"

The wolf cubs looked at each other in confusion.

Someone couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What is Intent? Is it very powerful?"

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion stood in place, looking at the blades and swords filling the air, and spoke in a raspy voice.

"The so-called Intent refers to Sword Intent, Blade Intent, Fist Intent..."

"It is a realm that cultivators dream of!"

"Ordinary cultivators practice for a lifetime and only learn how to use weapons."

"But those who have comprehended Intent can merge with their weapons, becoming one in heart and mind!"

"It's not object control, nor is it some kind of mental power, but the true..."

He paused, looking at the blades and swords behind Ye Chen, his eyes full of fanaticism, "...Swords moving with the mind!"

Just as he finished speaking...

Another completely different aura radiated from Ye Chen's body!

That aura was overbearing, sharp, and incomparably fierce!

It was completely different from the previous sharp and ethereal aura!

If the previous aura was a sword, then this current aura was a blade!

Blade Intent!

Dual Intent of Sword and Blade!!!

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's pupils constricted, his legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Blade... Blade Intent?"

"The Master not only knows Sword Intent but also Blade Intent???"

His voice was trembling.

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.

A person knowing Sword Intent is already a peerless monster.

A person knowing Blade Intent is also a peerless monster.

But a person who comprehends both Sword Intent and Blade Intent simultaneously...

Is he even still human???"

Zhong Buhui stood in place, his entire being completely frozen.

He suddenly understood the meaning of Ye Chen's words just now...

Yes.

He now only wanted to get rid of Ye Chen.

He had to!

Otherwise, once this monster grew up, the entire Kunlun Ruins would be trampled under his feet!

But could he...

...actually get rid of him?

Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, the blades and swords behind him humming, while he only gave a slight smile.

"Vice Head Zhong."

"Now, are you going to apologize to my people and hand over the secret of the bronze key..."

"Or..."

"...am I going to kill you?"
