Chapter 307: Chapter 47: Golden Saber Slays the Fierce Tiger

"In that case, it is better to resolve enmity than to create it," Jian Jingchuan immediately said, taking the cue. "Today’s affair is a result of my Celestial Sword Manor’s lax discipline and my failure in raising my son."

"As long as you agree to stand down and give us the Dharma Gate to reverse this injury, Celestial Sword Manor can let bygones be bygones. Furthermore, we are willing to offer a generous gift as compensation!"

WHOA!

At Jian Jingchuan’s words, the entire crowd was in an uproar!

’The great Manor Master of Celestial Sword Manor, the number one figure in all of Qingzhou, had actually... actually backed down voluntarily?’

Even if it was just a strategic retreat, it was enough to show the dire straits Chen Ye had pushed him into!

A glimmer of hope flashed through the eyes of Elder Jian and Jian Wuchen at the same time.

’In their view, the Manor Master had already made such a huge concession; there was no reason for this Chen Ye to refuse.’

However, Chen Ye’s next words left everyone completely stunned.

"Compensation? Very well." Chen Ye nodded, then raised a single finger. "It’s simple. I want your Celestial Sword Manor... to be wiped from the face of Qingzhou."

"Insolent whelp! You’re courting death!"

Jian Jingchuan’s projection erupted in fury, all composure lost.

’To demand that Celestial Sword Manor be wiped from Qingzhou? The sheer arrogance! The utter humiliation!’

"Boy, it seems if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll never learn your place!"

A cold sneer appeared on Jian Jingchuan’s face. "Your Saber Technique is certainly strange; even I can’t fully comprehend it. But you are far too arrogant. Do you really believe a mere avatar of mine can’t take care of you?"

Before the words had even left his mouth, he abruptly gestured toward the ground.

VMMMMMM—!

The Fierce Tiger Sword, which had been knocked aside by Chen Ye’s saber and had since grown dim, suddenly let out a clear sword cry as if answering a summons. It then transformed into a streak of light and flew into Jian Jingchuan’s hand!

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The moment Jian Jingchuan gripped the hilt, the Fierce Tiger Sword—previously dim and even slightly damaged—was like a slumbering beast awakened. It instantly erupted with a terrifying Sword Intent, one more than ten times stronger than it had been in Jian Wuchen’s hands!

VMM! VMM! VMM!

The blade vibrated intensely, streams of visible golden Sword Qi coiling around it like wandering dragons. Its razor-sharp aura, which seemed capable of tearing through anything, caused the swords of every Sword Cultivator present to tremble, as if bowing before their Monarch!

"This... is this the true power of the Fierce Tiger Sword?"

"How terrifying! It’s the same sword, but the difference between it in the Manor Master’s hands and the Young Manor Master’s hands is like night and day!"

"Of course! The Fierce Tiger Sword was the Manor Master’s personal blade when he made his name in Qingzhou as a young man. The man and his sword have long shared a single will. Jian Wuchen is impressive, but he’s a world away from the old Manor Master. He can’t even begin to unleash the Fierce Tiger Sword’s true power!"

Some of the older Cultivators in the crowd gasped in amazement.

Meanwhile, upon seeing this, the eyes of Elder Jian and Jian Wuchen lit up with immense excitement.

’They knew it. The Manor Master was finally getting serious!’

"Watch closely. This is the true Fierce Tiger Sword!" Jian Jingchuan said coldly, then swung the blade.

In that instant, a terrifying tiger’s roar, as if from the primordial depths of time, exploded in everyone’s minds without warning!

The roar was filled with endless majesty and brutality, as if a truly peerless, ferocious tiger had broken its chains and descended upon this world!

Under the impact of this roar, the tens of thousands of Cultivators with lower Cultivation in the square felt their Divine Spirits violently shake. Several thousand collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Even the experts in the spectator stands turned deathly pale, their blood and qi churning. They were forced to immediately circulate their power just to resist and barely stabilize their Heart Spirits.

A mere tiger’s roar possessed such divine might!

This was the true power of a Core Formation Realm Great Cultivator!

And this was only the beginning!

As the tiger’s roar resounded through the clouds, an impossibly solid beam of golden Sword Light erupted from the tip of the Fierce Tiger Sword!

In mid-air, the Sword Light transformed into a ferocious golden tiger, dozens of meters long and shockingly lifelike!

This tiger was composed entirely of the purest Sword Qi. Every strand of its fur glinted with a heart-stopping sharpness, and its eyes brimmed with a brutal, murderous intent that disdained all life!

It roared to the heavens and opened its cavernous maw, lunging viciously at Chen Ye with a terrifying aura powerful enough to burn mountains, boil seas, and crush all existence!

Wherever the golden tiger passed, space itself seemed to distort under its immense pressure. The hard stone of the arena stage cracked inch by inch, disintegrating into dust!

For a moment, everyone’s Heart Spirit was completely captivated by this earth-shattering sword strike!

’In their eyes, this was no longer a Swordsmanship technique, but an unstoppable natural disaster!’

In the distance, Yun Heqing’s face went white with fear. He muttered ceaselessly, "Holy crap, holy crap, how is that old bastard so damn strong? Chen Ye... that kid’s a goner this time for sure!"

Xue Shan was just as tense. Though he had almost blind faith in Chen Ye, the power of this attack was far beyond anything he could have imagined.

’He knew that if he were facing this attack, he would be crushed by its terrifying tiger might before he could even summon the courage to draw his own blade!’

"Brother Chen Ye... you have to hold on!" He clenched his fists, his palms slick with cold sweat.

However, just when everyone was certain that Chen Ye was doomed...

And yet Chen Ye, the target of the attack, showed not the slightest trace of panic.

In fact, a flicker of excitement even flashed deep in his eyes.

Yes, excitement!

Because within the vision of his Tribulation Eye, the interior of this aggressive, seemingly invincible golden tiger was filled with a dense web of gray threads.

These threads were its internal tribulations—the very pathways its power flowed along, and thus, its most fundamental weaknesses!

One among them, a Tribulation Line thicker and more prominent than all the rest, was located right between the tiger’s eyes!

That was the focal point for all of Jian Jingchuan’s Sword Intent and power, the central nexus of the entire attack!

And... its greatest weak point!

’This was the terrifying nature of his Professional Talent. Beneath the Tribulation Eye, all life was equal!’

’It didn’t matter if you were in the Sea Condensation Realm or the Core Formation Realm!’

’It didn’t matter if you were a genius Swordsman or a grandmaster of your generation!’

’As long as Chen Ye could see your tribulation, the result would be the same.’

And so, Chen Ye moved, like a startled dragon bursting from the sea. The Jingzhe Saber in his hand carried an indomitable will, a determination to press forward and sever the threads of fate itself, as he fearlessly met the pouncing golden tiger head-on!

The Golden Saber cleaves the fierce tiger—the moment is now!
