Chapter 119: Ranking Match Below

  Ye Yun's long sword thrust towards Ji Wu Shang, who had a flirtatious smile on his face. The long sword was like a spirit snake, and the three parts of the sword energy completely dispersed. Ye Yun's Daze Sword Technique had already reached the fifth level. The Daze Sword Technique was known for its stability and balance between offense and defense. Every move had both attack and defense, with a grand and stable manner, emitting an air of a great general everywhere.

  "Are you really determined to hurt me?" Ji Wushang smiled at Ye Yunmei again;

  However, the red mallet in his hand had already been struck out, and the colored ribbons were fluttering about. The red mallet was flying about Ye Yun's surroundings, attacking from all sides. Season Wu Shang, who seemed weak, did not appear to be a weak man when he attacked. Every time he struck out with the mallet, it smashed into the ground, stirring up clouds of dust. The bluestone was directly shattered by this one blow from the mallet; if it were to hit a person, it would be able to pierce through them directly.

  Ye Yun frequently dodged Hong Liang's attacks. As the saying goes, "one inch longer is one inch stronger", Ji Wu Shang took advantage of Hong Liang's length to engage in a long-range battle with Ye Yun, so every time Ye Yun attacked, he was forced back by Hong Liang and returned empty-handed.

  The two of them fought like this for over a hundred moves, still without any sign of victory or defeat. If they continued like this, it was likely that even when time ran out, the two would still be unable to determine a winner, and their spiritual energy would be severely depleted in the end.

  Yè Yún took a look, and if things continued like this, it would be difficult to determine the winner even after several hundred moves. The long sword changed again, and in the next move, three sword flowers were drawn out, directly dividing into upper, middle, and lower routes to attack simultaneously. The style of play changed once more, with an attacking speed that was at least twice as fast as before. Yè Yún displayed his footwork and martial skills, quickly closing in on Ji Wú Shàng.

  "Enemy, must you defeat me? Then I won't hold back either. Ji Wu Shang fought back while teasing Ye Yun, who was so angry that her teeth itched. However, the difference in strength between herself and Ji Wu Shang was too great to be bridged in a short time."

  Ye Yun's long sword transformed into a series of sword shadows, swift and fierce. One slash of his sword pierced towards Ji Wu Shang's chest, but just as the attack was about to land, Ji Wu Shang's red lotus intercepted Ye Yun's sword. The red lotus seemed soft and weak, but it was actually made from the silk of a heavenly silkworm, each strand capable of cutting through gold and jade. As the two spiritual artifacts clashed, sparks flew everywhere, and Ye Yun's sword was deflected once again, leaving him to retreat in defeat.

  Ye Yun's move didn't work, and Ji Wushang dodged it easily. Ye Yun's long sword slid down, changing to a lower stance, and launched another clever sword move with strong concealment. Ji Wushang's red tassel also followed Ye Yun's long sword as it struck downwards. Then, Ji Wushang retreated four or five steps again, using one end of the red tassel to block Ye Yun's long sword while turning the other end back around, flying towards Ye Yun's face with a whistling sound. This move was both offensive and defensive, able to intercept Ye Yun's sword move while also counterattacking. Ji Wushang executed this move with remarkable precision.

  Ye Yun was forced to withdraw his long sword and jumped to the left, his hand also striking the red ling that was attacking him. Another collision occurred, and the red ling was directly knocked back by Ye Yun's sword.

  The two of them ended up in a stalemate again, it seems that they have brought out their true strength. Originally, this move was reserved for when he entered the top ten, but since encountering Xiao Qiuyu, he had never used it, and now that he finally did use it on Xiao Qiuyu, it still ended in failure, which is why Ye Yun always kept a trump card hidden.

  The long sword in his hand changed again, and the long sword emitted a sword halo dozens of meters long. "Choose Day Tianxia" Ye Yun roared, and the long sword in his hand slashed down, wanting to cut Qi Wu Shang in two. The huge sword halo compressed the air and rushed out in all directions, and a vacuum zone had already appeared below the sword halo, and the air had been squeezed out by this sword's sword halo.

  "What a formidable opponent, I didn't think you had such a powerful move, was it reserved for entering the top ten? However, you have an ace up your sleeve, and so do I. The red flag fluttered, and Season's crimson lotus transformed into a red light screen, meeting Ye Yun's sword aura. One attacked, one defended, and the sword aura didn't even last a breath before it was suppressed. Standing below, Season's face changed slightly, putting away that coquettish expression, controlling the red lotus with even greater speed. I didn't think this Ye Yun had such a move, in the blink of an eye, Ye Yun's sword aura poured down like a waterfall, and Ye Yun had already abandoned defense, wanting to rely on this one move to thoroughly defeat Season."

  The crimson lotus of Ji Wushang also met Ye Yun's sword aura in an instant, the two spiritual instruments collided in mid-air, a loud rumbling sound echoed out, and the sword aura continued to chop down as before. Ji Wushang's red lotus did not block Ye Yun's move, but instead retreated step by step.

  Ji Wushang's face changed color in shock, his heart racing with a start. How did Ye Yun's strength increase so much? It seemed that today's battle was going to be lost to him. Thinking of making me lose, you also have to leave some capital. Ji Wushang's red lotus was withdrawn, and at the moment it was withdrawn, Ye Yun's sword aura also came down with a slanting slash, unstoppable.

  After Ji Wushang's red lotus returned, he thought that with a hint of luck in his heart, the red lotus slipped out of his hand and flew directly towards Yue Yun in the distance. He himself retreated backwards, wanting to dodge Yue Yun's sword aura. Yue Yun wanted to hurt him, but his own red lotus would also definitely be able to hurt him, unless he withdrew his sword aura to avoid this attack by the red lotus. Ji Wushang actually intended to use a method where both sides would suffer losses.

  "Go die in resistance, there's no way out for me, I'm no longer the Ye Yun of last year!" Ye Yun shouted loudly.

  Ye Yunjian's sword aura still came slashing down, not withdrawing its attack even though Ji Wushang's red lotus was heading towards him. The sword aura landed on Ji Wushang's head in less than half a breath, leaving no way for Ji Wushang to meet this calculated sword aura with his bare fists.

  "How dare you, wanting to fight against me with your bare hands, Ye Yun said in great anger;"

  Rumbling, the sword aura finally came down. In that instant when the sword aura fell, Ji Wushang's red lotus was only one step away from Ye Yun. Earthy yellow shield, Ye Yun let out a low growl again, and a yellow shield appeared in front of him. Although it had a similar effect to Lu Yunfei's Hunyuan Qigong, the difference lay in that Lu Yunfei's Hunyuan Qigong completely enveloped himself, whereas Ye Yun's earthy yellow shield formed a protective barrier in front of him. The red lotus swooped down and struck Ye Yun's condensed shield with a loud crash. Although Ye Yun had managed to condense the shield and withstand the red lotus' attack, he was still forced back several steps by the massive impact.

  Ye Yun was knocked back several steps by Hong Liang, while Ye Yun's sword aura finally struck Season Wuyou's body, like a hot knife through butter. Season Wuyou's fists were unable to block this sword aura, and he was hit squarely, his eyes wide with fear as the sword aura struck his body, this blow would be fatal or at least cause severe injury.

  Ji Wuxia let out a loud roar and rapidly retreated backwards, but the sword aura was even faster. In a fraction of a second, the sword aura struck Ji Wuxia's body, yet instead of cutting him in two, it sent him crashing onto the stage, creating a massive crater. Ji Wuxia lay in the crater, his mouth filled with dust and his clothes shredded by the sword aura. His mouth was also spewing out large amounts of blood, indicating that he had suffered severe injuries from this strike.

  As this sword strike was made, Ye Yun also felt a sense of emptiness, the spiritual power in his body being completely drained, all of it having been used up in this one move. However, its power was also enormous. Ye Yun's swordsmanship didn't have the cunning and ruthless qualities of Han Jiang's swordsmanship, but it had a grandeur that was unmatched. It was straightforward and upright, without any fancy moves, just a straightforward and unyielding attitude, with an air of dominance, but lacking in gentleness.

  Ye Yun jumped down from the stage and returned to Chen Xuan's side, this game Ye Yun has already won three games, after this game only Ye Yun and Han Jiang maintained three unbeaten games, others are two wins and one loss, some are one win and two losses, the third round of competition also ended quickly.

  Ye Yun returned to his seat and hastily took out several thousand yuan of Ling Dan, which he swallowed. His complexion only looked slightly better after that. Earlier, his face had looked like a sickly person's. Chen Xuan didn't go over to disturb Ye Yun while he was meditating to recover his spiritual energy. Originally, Chen Xuan wanted to ask Ye Yun about the sword aura move he used earlier, but when he saw Ye Yun's appearance, he didn't open his mouth. The Seven Killings Blade had always walked a ruthless and sinister path, lacking a sense of grandeur. Chen Xuan gained sudden inspiration from Ye Yun's move earlier and wondered if he could also infuse the Seven Killings Blade with a sense of grandeur. However, changing a martial technique was no easy task. Even Old Man Li had spent thousands of years to perfect this martial technique, rather than creating it entirely himself. Chen Xuan had always planned to create his own unique martial technique, but with his current state, he thought it was impossible.
