Chapter 1698 - 1485: Abyss City (3)_2

"This is just disrespecting our Du Xian Sect, and since that's the case, you'll teach this kid a lesson for the sect,"

came Hua Qing's cold voice from the side.

"Well... alright!"

Liu Bai, hearing Hua Qing's words, furrowed his brow but still agreed.

"Forgive me, friend!"

Liu Bai cupped his hands towards Ye Guichen and then stood upright in place.

Seeing Liu Bai about to strike, Ye Guichen also set aside his contempt and looked directly at Liu Bai.

This was a form of respect for a Sword Dao Practitioner.

"Friend, my sword technique consists of three moves; if you can withstand them, then I shall lose!"

Liu Bai slightly parted his lips and then closed his eyes, continuously gathering Sword Intent.

"Babble!"

Hua Qing, hearing Liu Bai's words, felt disdain and murmured quietly.

Ye Guichen took the Immortal Slayer Sword out from his ring and held it horizontally in his hand.

The Immortal Slayer Sword seemed to sense the powerful Sword Intent rising around it, and the blade began to hum with excitement, as if eager to compete with this Sword Intent.

Ye Guichen felt the intention passed on by the Immortal Slayer Sword and gently stroked its blade with his palm, seemingly responding to it.

Elsewhere.

Suddenly, Liu Bai's Sword Intent gathered rapidly, with Sword Qi intertwining within a two-foot radius around him, chaotic and irregular.

"Gather!"

Liu Bai slightly parted his lips and abruptly opened his eyes.

The wild Sword Qi around him instantly condensed into a massive sword shadow, four or five meters wide, looking grand and majestic.

"Infinite!"

As soon as he spoke, the sword shadow formed in the void turned into a stream of light, slicing towards Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen looked at the incoming sword strike, gripping the Immortal Slayer Sword tightly and slashing forward as well.

"Immortal Slicing!"

The Immortal Slayer Sword gleamed brightly, and this sword strike drained all of Ye Guichen's Spiritual Energy, transforming into liquid True Qi covering the sword shadow where the Immortal Slayer Sword sliced.

The sword shadow resembled a crescent moon, filled with the power of death and destruction.

"Boom!"

The two sword shadows collided violently in the center, forming a terrifying shockwave that surged outward.

The shockwave spread to the sea surface, causing the previously calm sea to stir with waves, constantly lapping against the floating city around.

"This... Mr. Ye actually possesses such immense power, I didn't realize it!"

From a distance, Guan Ren on the floating city was astonished by Ye Guichen's displayed tactics in Abyss City.

Beside him, Hua Qing was also surprised by Ye Guichen's formidable Sword Dao ability, starting to strategize inwardly.

"The Savior, our Savior is here!"

The Demon Clan below already regarded Ye Guichen as their savior upon witnessing his prowess.

Their eyes were filled with hopeful glances, praying while looking at Ye Guichen's silhouette.

Liu Bai, seeing Ye Guichen withstand the impact of his first strike with the pitch-black sword, felt shocked internally.

"Next is the second sword."

Liu Bai took the Peach Wood Sword from behind him, gripping it in his hand.

He held the Peach Wood Sword horizontally in front of him, murmuring incessantly.

Soon, the Peach Wood Sword gradually transitioned from a peach pink to a bloody red, as if soaked in blood, presenting a bizarre appearance.

"Pfft!"

Liu Bai ceased his murmuring, spraying essence blood onto the Peach Wood Sword. The sword seemed to gain a soul, making the previously ethereal sword shadow solidify, covering the Peach Wood Sword.

"Sword Infinite!"

"Go!"

Liu Bai pushed forward with both hands, sending the Peach Wood Sword flying.

Having absorbed the blood's nourishment, the Peach Wood Sword radiated brilliantly, folding repeatedly in the air.

A crimson hue gradually formed on the sword tip, like a death-seeking blade rushing towards Ye Guichen.

"Ten Thousand Swords Unleashed!"

Ye Guichen sensed the terrifying power within the Peach Wood Sword and didn't act recklessly, directly summoning Ten Thousand Swords.

Countless Immortal Swords appeared behind Ye Guichen, creating a spectacular scene.

"This... all of these are Immortal Swords..."

Haotian behind Ye Guichen witnessed the scene, eyes wide with shock.

"What has Ye Guichen experienced to possess so many Immortal Swords!"

"And the pitch-black Immortal Sword isn't an ordinary relic!"

In the distance, Hua Qing also saw the impressive scene behind Ye Guichen, his expression turning greedy.

This wealth of Immortal Swords wasn't even collected within a sect, let alone the fact that these Ten Thousand Immortal Swords exceeded the first-grade and reached second-grade Immortal Artifact status, incomparable to ordinary artifacts.

With the immense power wielded by these swords, obtaining them could potentially forge a sword surpassing any Immortal Artifact!

The thought fueled Hua Qing's greed even more intensely, eager to act.

"This...."

"Could this be...."

Liu Bai, seeing the Ten Thousand Immortal Swords summoned by Ye Guichen, realized the possibilities.

No wonder the friend inherited the legacy of the Carefree Sword Saint, no wonder!

"Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Sect!"

Ye Guichen commanded softly, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Swords moved uniformly towards the Peach Wood Sword.

"Bang bang bang"

The repeated clashes in the air caused the Peach Wood Sword to falter, trembling and falling to the ground.

"One more sword."

Ye Guichen spoke softly.

"No need, friend. This last sword is meant for desperate fight, but we're not in a situation for such combat, so I'll concede."

Liu Bai bowed towards Ye Guichen and then retreated to the side.

Ye Guichen, hearing Liu Bai's words, ceased his attack, retrieving the Ten Thousand Swords to the ring, and looked at Liu Bai aloofly.

"Didn't expect a friend can simultaneously control Ten Thousand Swords; even the Carefree Sword Immortal couldn't surpass this,"

Liu Bai remarked, though Ye Guichen didn't share the sentiment.

Ye Guichen knew his journey on the path of Sword Dao was long, and while he could wield Ten Thousand Swords, it's just one step in his Sword Dao quest.

The essence of swords lies not in quantity but within the heart's sword.

Legend has it the Sword Dao Masters standing atop the pinnacle can achieve a heart with swords or a heart devoid of swords.

Currently, Ye Guichen was far from such a realm.

Ye Guichen nodded at Liu Bai, then turned his gaze towards Hua Qing.

"Now take your people away, and I shall not pursue further,"

Ye Guichen stated coldly towards Hua Qing.

"Boy, don't think you can taunt me just because you defeated them both!"

"You obviously don't know how terrifying it is to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm!"

Hua Qing smirked mockingly, scornful of Ye Guichen's ignorance.

"How can you alone protect the entire Demon Clan!"

"Who said it's just me!"

Ye Guichen replied playfully, waving his hand.

Suddenly, the floating city on the distant sea began to move, slowly forming a siege that surrounded Hua Qing's group tightly.

Hua Qing's face changed dramatically as he watched from afar.

"You sly kid, didn't expect you had this move!"

"Hmph, so what, in front of formidable strength everything is in vain."

"Once I capture you, these people will be at my mercy!"

Hua Qing, with a sinister expression, stepped forward.

As Hua Qing advanced, his hands gradually formed a terrifying lightning orb, containing destructive power.

Ye Guichen noticed the lightning orb in Hua Qing's hand and furrowed his brows, then waved his hand, sending Haotian and the others away.

"Thunderbolt Technique!"
