Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 369 - 368: Want to See What This Sword Looks Like at Its Limit?
Chapter 369: Chapter 368: Want to See What This Sword Looks Like at Its Limit?
The sword sang like an eagle’s cry, and this strike seemed to possess the might to cleave the skies.
The Peak Masters from Xiaoyao Peak who had come to observe couldn’t help but stand up.
This sword could earn the title of Sword Dao’s Pride!
In a flash, everyone nearly thought Shen Han would surely be defeated.
“Both are sons of prodigies, yet there is still a gap.”
Seeing this scene, Ye Tianxing, standing beside Liu Xilan, had already made a judgment.
Shen Han is no match, which actually pleased Ye Tianxing a bit.
He didn’t like Shen Han, he even harbored some disdain.
Furthermore, there was the earlier bet between him and Liu Xilan.
If Shen Han won this competition, it would truly be a slap in the face.
But just as he spoke, the sword shadow in the competition ground suddenly shattered.
“Sword and Man Unity”
The long sword in Shen Han’s hand encompassed the shattered sword shadow.
Then, the sword’s edge faced forward.
When the sword’s edge appeared, the Misty Sword Intent was also deployed.
The sword’s edge instantly transformed into intent, mingling false techniques with real ones.
Even though Shen Ye was incredibly familiar with the Sword Dao, this move required utmost caution in response.
The Misty Sword Intent was indeed an exceedingly tricky technique.
Anyone who knew this sword intent would say, to break the Misty Sword Intent, all you need to do is discern the real from the fake.
But in the exchanges of top experts, where is there time to distinguish between real and fake?
And those familiar with this sword intent would have many thoughts interwoven within.
They might even devise ways to make the real and fake sword techniques incredibly similar.
Besides, there was also the Power of Laws accompanying the sword’s edge.
With the full force of the Power of Laws, the suppressive force was extraordinary.
The barriers of abnormal phenomena around Shen Ye, in front of the Power of Laws, were as fragile as thin paper.
In the competition ground, the sword edges of two long swords clashed.
It was assumed that Shen Ye’s one strike was already strong enough, but unexpectedly, Shen Han could still counter it with his sword.
The clash of two sharp sword mights produced a sound that even seemed chilling.
Moreover, the oppressive pressure both emitted became chaotic due to the collision.
The pressure scattered all around, fortunately, there were many experts present.
With a wave of their hand, they intercepted this oppressive pressure.
Otherwise, if ordinary people were touched by this pressure, they might end up crippled.
In the center of the ground, the anticipated situation by everyone did not occur.
Even after Shen Ye exerted such an astonishing sword, supplemented by the Chess Path’s heart-bewildering method, he still couldn’t defeat Shen Han.
After this move, the sword might rebounded and forced both apart.
Shen Ye, whom everyone thought would secure victory, already had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
He actually…
Got injured…
By contrast, Shen Han, whom most people looked down upon, was unscathed.
This scene left many of the strong present looking at each other in astonishment.
On the Shen Family’s side, Madam He’s face was pale, and her previously proud expression had vanished completely.
It was likely her first time seeing her son Shen Ye in such an embarrassing state during a confrontation.
Even when facing other young talents from Great Wei, at worst, Shen Ye was evenly matched.
Never like now, where he was injured and bleeding.
“That disgusting bastard, dare to injure my Ye’er, I must…”
Came to her senses, Madam He began cursing angrily, her words exceedingly harsh.
She no longer had the demeanor of the main wife of the Shen household.
The spectators also turned to look at her, as if watching a play.
People love watching such drama.
Madam Shen beside her tried to pull her aside, but Madam He shook her off with one hand.
She seemed to have reached the extreme of her anger.
To her, Shen Han should have succumbed to two moves at most, then been felled by a single sword.
Left crippled, or instantly killed.
But not only did he fight back, he even injured her precious son Shen Ye.
Facing Madam He’s foul language, Dean Tianyi took pride in stepping forward unafraid.
In verbal spats, he had some skill too.
Especially when his voice, bolstered by strength, instantly drowned out Madam He’s.
The situation, in the eyes of the Shen Family, was beginning to spiral out of control.
Though Madam Shen didn’t rant like Madam He, her face was equally grim.
Shen Lingsheng, Shen Lingyong, both their expressions were as if they’d eaten feces, extremely unpleasant.
Witnessing Shen Han exchange moves with Shen Ye and not lose at all.
Shen Lingyong suddenly recalled a conversation he once had with Shen Han.
Back then, his words were adamant, demanding Shen Han sacrifice for Shen Ye.
Among his words, he expressed how Shen Han’s talent and potential were inferior, how his future was bleak.
That by pleasing Shen Ye, Shen Ye could take care of him for life, giving Shen Han plenty to eat and drink.
But looking at it now, those words were utterly foolish.
Why should Shen Han sacrifice for Shen Ye?
Is his potential truly lesser than Shen Ye’s?
Must he end up crippled just to win Shen Ye’s favor, to see Shen Ye’s facial expressions?
Thinking of these, Shen Lingyong felt a sudden sense of daze at heart.
Why did I insist on doing this back then…
As for the Shen Family’s patriarch, Shen Qingshan, when he proposed a duel between Shen Han and Shen Ye.
He was actually certain Shen Ye would undoubtedly win, even thinking Shen Han would not even dare to confront Shen Ye.
But now…
In the center of the competition ground.
Shen Ye’s gaze was incredibly cold as he wiped away the blood from his mouth, casually rubbing it onto his clothing.
After a moment, Shen Ye stood upright, his eyes falling on the long sword in his hand.
It seemed that even with serious response, he couldn’t win.
So he had to go all out.
“Do you want to see what this sword looks like at its peak?”
Suddenly, Shen Ye inexplicably spoke.
The entire field quieted down once again.
Shen Han ignored him, remaining as he was before.
“Let’s see what this sword looks like at its peak.”
Shen Ye murmured softly, but his entire demeanor was changing.
“Swordsman, what is a swordsman…
I alone should be called a swordsman.”
After this utterance, Shen Ye leapt into the air.
Armor forged by the abnormal phenomena behind him draped over his body, even pushing Shen Ye forward.
Shen Ye appeared to have undergone a transformation, with an intimidating pressure emanating from his entire being.
Many spectators had already stood up, among them some well-known experts.
“Fourth Grade…Shen Ye’s pressure is definitely that of the Fourth Grade…”
“How old is he, this…”
Onlookers couldn’t help but gasp.
Is this really a competition for the young?
One must know many instructors at the academy are only Fourth Grade.
At present, Shen Ye was walking midair.
Being able to control the sky was enough to prove his Fourth Grade prowess.
Fourth Grade is the closest existence to the Immortal Realm.
Stepping into Fourth Grade, it indicates physical strength sufficiently breaking into the Immortal Realm, mastering the sky-controlling technique with ease.
From his high vantage point, Shen Ye had a natural advantage as he approached his foe while controlling the sky.
Yet everyone still remembered what he just said.
The peak of the sword.
Shen Ye said he wanted to see the peak of the sword.
