Chapter 95: Fellow Daoist Li, Don’t Die, I Really Didn’t Know Your Cultivation Is So Poor
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Three sounds of the bell rang.
At this moment, the Sword Dao Meet officially began.
The cultivators outside the arena stopped talking and were watching the match quietly.
At this moment, there were already people who started to fight in the ring.
However, in Ring No. 78.
Ye Ping gripped the Green Moon Flying Sword tightly and looked at Li Changye with full concentration. He did not attack for the time being.
On the other hand, Li Changye looked extremely calm without glancing at Ye Ping at all.
He planned to let Ye Ping make three moves first.
Yes, Li Changye planned to let Ye Ping attack thrice first since he was the first opponent of his life. He took it as a form of compensation for Ye Ping.
‘In this case, Ye Ping will be bragging for the rest of his life, right?’
‘Hahaha. Years later, Ye Ping will be bragging to his descendants that his opponent in a sword battle was me, Li Changye, the best Sword Immortal in the world. I defeated him even though I gave him a head start by three moves.’
‘That’d be so interesting.’
At this moment, Li Changye suddenly felt a sword momentum.
He was slightly surprised.
‘I really did not expect that a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refinement would have comprehended the sword momentum.’
‘Oh? Four Thunder sword momentum? I really didn’t expect it. He’s only at the first level of Qi Refinement, and he had actually condensed the Summer Thunder, Spring Thunder, Autumn Thunder, and Winter Thunder sword momentum…’
‘Four Thunder sword momentum?’
Li Changye instantly snapped out of his imagination.
He looked at Ye Ping and seemed rather surprised.
It was because he had sensed the Four Thunder sword momentum, which he was very familiar with.
‘This is impossible!’
‘He’s just a Qi Refinement cultivator who’s at the first level, and yet, he can condense the complete Four Thunder sword momentum?’
‘That’s a bit unexpected.’
However, he had fortunately made thorough preparations and wasn’t worried at all. He didn’t feel pressurized either, but he was extremely surprised. In his opinion, Ye Ping was already quite competent since he could condense a sword momentum.
Condensing the sword momentum of all Four Thunder Sword Techniques was a little beyond expectations.
‘He’s a genius, but unfortunately, he met me…’
Li Changye once again felt sorry for Ye Ping.
At this moment, Ye Ping, who was opposite him, kept thinking about one sentence.
‘Do your best, don’t hold back!’
‘That’s right, do your best, don’t hold back.’
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At this moment, Ye Ping dashed over with his sword, and the Four Thunder sword momentum exploded like thunder in the sky during the Sword Dao Meet.
Like a shocking bolt of thunder, it made their ears ring.
All the cultivators at the entire Sword Dao Meet were dumbfounded. Even the cultivators who were currently competing were stunned.
The terrifying and monstrous sword momentum pervaded and suppressed the crowd.
In the referee’s stand, the seniors from the major states also stood up and looked at Ring No. 78 with astonishment.
“Four Thunder sword momentum?”
“The complete Four Thunder sword momentum.”
“No, it’s not just the Four Thunder sword momentum, there seems to be a stronger sword momentum mixed with it too.”
“This is only the preliminary round and there are already such experts?”
The terrifying sound of thunder shocked everyone.
Some people knew that Ye Ping was strong, but they didn’t expect him to be that strong. Back then, Ye Ping was merely comprehending the sword intent outside the city, but he eventually failed. The strength Ye Ping showed now made many people gasp in amazement.
At the same time, most of the cultivators, who had only heard of Ye Ping but never seen him before, were completely astounded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of thunder roared. It was true that Ye Ping’s sword momentum did not contain only the Four Thunder sword momentum, and it was wide and ferocious like a great river.
It was a fused version of the Four Thunder Sword Technique and the Heavenly River Sword Technique.
Ye Ping called it the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique.
Thunder was turned into a river. It was ferocious and powerful, and the sword move was incredible as it made all the cultivators in the arena of the entire Sword Dao Meet shudder.
When Ye Ping performed the Four Thunder sword momentum, Li Changye was only a little surprised, but he didn’t think much about it because he wasn’t afraid of the Four Thunder sword momentum.
However, when Ye Ping enhanced the Heavenly River sword momentum, Li Changye was stunned because after he enhanced the second sword momentum, the power was increased by more than ten times.
It only took a second for Li Changye’s confidence to turn into confusion.
He was really a little dumbfounded.
‘There’s a second type of sword momentum?’
‘Must you be so outrageous?’
‘Are you really at the first level of Qi Refinement?’
‘Is this the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet? Is it not the Ten Nations Sword Dao Meet?’
‘Is someone there? I want to report him for duping!’
Li Changye was dumbfounded as he didn’t expect Ye Ping to be so strong. His sword momentum was so ferocious, and he couldn’t withstand it at all.
However, Li Changye snapped back to his senses in the nick of time. He was still confident because the sword technique he learned was the invincible sword technique. Hence, he still trusted himself.
Clang!
Once Li Changye struck, Ye Ping’s last trump card was revealed.
Sword-Breaking Technique.
Yes, it was the Sword-Breaking Technique!
An unparalleled sword momentum appeared. It did not belong to any specific sword technique, but it could break all sword techniques in the world.
It was the Sword-Breaking Technique, Ye Ping’s strongest sword move.
Whoosh!
A ray of white light flashed and a figure was seen being blasted away from the ring with the thunderous explosion.
The blood formed an arc in the air, but fortunately, Li Changye had an extremely strong physique and Ye Ping had only used part of his Dharmic powers because the rules of the Sword Dao Meet stated that one could only use the Dharmic powers of the Qi Refinement realm, and once they exceeded the limit, they would be disqualified from the competition.
Besides, Ye Ping would also suppress his Dharmic powers to the ordinary Qi Refinement realm. Otherwise, once it was in full swing, Li Changye would definitely die.
At this moment, the whole venue was silent.
The other cultivators were silent too.
Everyone including the elders and the surrounding cultivators looked at Ye Ping.
Apart from shock, his eyes were filled with disbelief. At the same time, he felt a little… scared.
‘It’s just a sword trial, must you be so ferocious?’
Many cultivators subconsciously swallowed saliva. They were filled with curiosity and couldn’t help but wonder what they should do if they were the ones to fight Ye Ping.
They reckoned that they would probably die.
Everyone fell silent.
Li Changye was dumbfounded too.
He was severely injured, but fortunately, he didn’t hurt his foundation because Ye Ping did not want to kill him. Besides, his body was stronger than the ordinary cultivator so it didn’t hurt his foundation, but it would be difficult for him to fight again.
However, he watched everything in disbelief.
‘I lost?’
‘I was defeated?’
‘I actually lost?’
‘This is impossible!’
‘This is impossible!’
‘That can’t be.’
‘I’m destined to walk the path of invincibility, how could I have lost?’
‘I can’t possibly be defeated.’
‘Oh, I know, I must have underestimated my opponent. Hence, I haven’t made a move with my sword.’
‘I was careless, I was too careless.’
‘Referee, I want a rematch.’
Li Changye came back to his senses in an instant. He didn’t think that he lost because of his poor strength, but because he had underestimated his opponent and was too careless. Hence, he lost to Ye Ping,
In the ring.
Ye Ping looked at Li Changye, who had fallen from the ring, and couldn’t help but look surprised.
It was because he did not expect his first battle to be that easy.
However, Ye Ping soon suddenly remembered what Li Changye said just now, and after comparing it with the current situation, he had an epiphany.
‘Oh, it turns out Li Changye said that I’m lucky to have met him because he’s very weak.’
‘I get it now, I get it.’
Thinking of this, Ye Ping could not help but look at Li Changye before bowing.
“Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist, I understand now.”
Ye Ping bowed with some guilt in his expression. After all, he had just beaten his opponent up to the point of vomiting blood and that wasn’t a good thing. However, he couldn’t help it since his master and Senior Brothers had been instructing him to do his best so as not to leave regrets.
However, Ye Ping did not go all out and still had some reservations. After all, he was worried that he might get into trouble if his opponent was weaker and he ended up killing them.
However, Li Changye, who fell to the ground, could not help but snap back to his senses after hearing Ye Ping’s words again.
He gradually looked less confused.
He was stunned again, especially when he heard that Ye Ping had understood.
‘What did you understand?’
‘You don’t think I’m a good-for-nothing, do you?’
‘I was just too careless.’
‘Elder, I want a rematch.’
“No, I…”
Li Changye wanted to force himself to bear with the discomfort and stand up to ask for a rematch.
However, in the next moment, the remaining sword momentum in his body made him vomit blood again.
Ye Ping hurriedly walked down from the ring and stood in front of Li Changye before hurriedly infusing his Dharmic powers to heal Li Changye.
At the same time, Ye Ping spoke in an apologetic tone.
“Fellow Daoist Li, don’t go on. I understand that I was reckless, I really didn’t know that your cultivation level is so poor. You must believe me, I didn’t understand what you said at first. If I had known that your cultivation level was so poor, I definitely wouldn’t have struck so hard. Fellow Daoist Li, please persist on.”
Ye Ping was a little nervous and encouraged Li Changye.
When Li Changye heard Ye Ping’s words again, he felt worse.
“It’s not like that… I…”
He still wanted to continue explaining.
However, Ye Ping held him down.
“Fellow Daoist Li, I understand, I get it. You don’t need to explain, I understand.”
Ye Ping comforted Li Changye.
Li Changye was really on the verge of tears.
‘What do you know?’
‘What have you understood?’
‘It’s not like what you think.’
‘I… I…’
In the end, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
At this moment, his vision turned black.
He passed out on the spot.
“Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Li… Don’t die, I really didn’t know that your cultivation level was so poor. Fellow Daoist Li?”
Ye Ping called out, but Li Changye had already blacked out.
