580: Chapter 519: First Battle Against Emperor Bai (Part 3) 580: Chapter 519: First Battle Against Emperor Bai (Part 3) “Originally, you weren’t even worth my strongest blade, but I changed my mind now—considering your arrogance, I am going to make you disappear without a trace, turning into a heap of blood and flesh!”
On the quiet square, Emperor Bai gave Ye Fan a cold smile and started to build up his montum—the killing move was powerful, but it required gathering strength, reaching the peak of one’s power to deliver a berserk strike.
Typically, the speed of executing a killing move was slightly slower than other techniques.
In just two breaths, Emperor Bai’s aura had escalated to its peak, a crimson Blood Qi enveloping his body, rging with the murderous aura emanating from him, enclosing him within it.
In an instant, a terrifying aura spread out from Emperor Bai as the epicenter toward all directions.
“The Blood Qi is nearly tangible, Emperor Bai indeed lives up to his reputation as the top of the Qing bang!”
As the dense Blood Qi erged from Emperor Bai, a disciple at the Innate Great Perfection Realm outside the square exclaid aloud.
Including Xiao Selang, no other disciple from Tian Shan Sword Sect or the three elders, including ng Bai, spoke up; they seed to tacitly agree with his statent.
Compared to them, Cang Bo and two others, due to their close proximity, could not only clearly see the rich Blood Qi on Emperor Bai but also feel the terrifying murderous aura that surged from him!
This murderous aura was accumulated from the fresh blood of countless mutant beasts and cultivators!
“It seems that this champion of the Qing bang contest could be none other than him.”
Up in the sky, Cang Bo thought to himself silently, enviously glancing at Jie Dao.
In his view, including his disciple Xiao Selang, none of the younger generation could compare with Emperor Bai, and he even faintly felt that Emperor Bai might break an ancient decree—contending with the Gang Qi Realm with his half-step Gang Qi Realm!
Noticing Cang Bo’s gaze, Jie Dao sported a proud smile, seemingly proud of cultivating a disciple like Emperor Bai!
anwhile, Bodhi Wuyin’s brows deeply furrowed, a thick worry visible in her eyes.
Because… judging solely by the montum displayed by Emperor Bai, she felt she had underestimated his strength, putting Ye Fan’s life at imminent risk!
However—
As worried as she was, by this point, it was too late for her to stop the duel—Jie Dao kept his Mind focused on her constantly, making it very difficult for her to rescue Ye Fan in a crisis; everything had to depend on Ye Fan himself.
Beyond her worries, Bodhi Wuyin couldn’t help but shift her gaze from Emperor Bai to Ye Fan.
Hmm?
Contrary to what Bodhi Wuyin had expected, facing Emperor Bai’s dense Blood Qi and towering murderous aura, Ye Fan’s expression remained as calm as water.
“He’s so composed; he must have so trick up his sleeve, but what could it be?”
Seeing Ye Fan’s deanor, Bodhi Wuyin’s worried expression eased a bit, her mind filled with curiosity.
“Clang!”
The answer to Bodhi Wuyin was a crisp sound!
“Whiz—”
Following the crisp sound, the whistling of the air arose, Emperor Bai pulled out the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade from his back and swiftly swooped toward Ye Fan!
In an instant, the terrifying murderous aura beca an invisible tide, sweeping towards Ye Fan, assaulting his Consciousness.
Without dodging, nor blindly striking.
Ye Fan simply relied on his strong Martial Arts Will to stabilize his Consciousness, unshaken, continuously compressing and gathering his Mind Power.
Because he knew that before that opportunity appeared, if he struck blindly, it would only allow Emperor Bai to exploit his vulnerabilities.
He had to wait for that opportunity to launch the strongest Flying Knife Assassination, even if he couldn’t kill Emperor Bai, at least he would severely disrupt him, preventing Emperor Bai from unleashing his most powerful blade, hence facilitating evasion!
“Has that guy been scared silly?”
Outside the square, Xiao Selang and the three Outer Elders of the sect could barely see Emperor Bai’s figure; seeing him rapidly approaching Ye Fan, who remained unmoved, a thought surged in their minds.
“Being overconfident only leads to a dead end.”
anwhile, Cang Bo had already concluded that Ye Fan was undoubtedly dood and couldn’t help but mutter to himself internally.
And Jie Dao’s smile broadened on his face, as if he had already seen the outco of the match.
As for… Bodhi Wuyin!
Once again, the color of worry dominated her usually unflappable face, and even her heart unusually rose to her throat!
Swish!
Just at that mont, Emperor Bai suddenly raised the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, switching from one hand to holding the blade with both hands!
Both hands on the blade!
This was a sign that Emperor Bai was about to use the ‘Blood Kill’ move!
Facing all this, Ye Fan remained unmoved.
“Die!!”
Emperor Bai roared, raising the blood-red Bloodthirsty Mad Blade with both hands, furiously driving the Gang Qi within his body, about to strike his most powerful blade!
Just then!
Ye Fan acted, madly driving the compressed and gathered Mind Power, applying it to the Xuanye Flying Blade.
“Whiz—”
The sharp whistling of tearing the air arose, the Xuanye Flying Blade whistled out from the sleeve of Ye Fan, shooting like a Chun Light towards Emperor Bai five ters away!
—Chun Light!
The first move of the Flying Sword Skill!
At the critical mont, Ye Fan directly used his strongest move!
Although he had not yet mastered the first move of the Flying Sword Skill, “Chun Light,” his practice of “Chun Light” had increased the power of his Flying Knife Assassination by half!
Besides, during the competition with Emperor Bai for the Snow Lotus King earlier, Ye Fan deliberately did not use the Flying Sword Skill, nor did he use the strongest Mind Power to drive the flying knife.
Now, suddenly unleashing his trump card not only caught Emperor Bai off guard but also perfectly exploited Emperor Bai’s mindset of using his strongest blade—at the instant Emperor Bai was about to strike, making it impossible for Emperor Bai to withdraw and dodge, forcing a head-on clash!
Danger!
The sudden turn of events shocked Emperor Bai!
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, Emperor Bai didn’t wait for all the Gang Qi gathered in his right palm to pour into the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, hurriedly slashing out!
This slash, because he was hurriedly trying to eliminate the crisis, sent the Xuanye Flying Blade flying.
The strike was sowhat hasty, and its power was not even 50% of his usual strongest move “Blood Kill”!
Nevertheless, as Emperor Bai slashed out, Gang Qi burst from the tip of the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, engulfed in blood qi.
Mixed with Emperor Bai’s terrifying killing intent, it transford into a blood-red sword light two ters high, extrely terrifying!
“Clang!!”
A crisp sound echoed as the Xuanye Flying Blade was shaken off, and the blood-red sword light paused only slightly before continuing to slash towards Ye Fan!
But because of the impact of the Xuanye Flying Blade, the power of the blood-red sword light was sowhat reduced, and its speed also slowed down, yet it still contained terrifying energy fluctuations.
It could shatter not just Ye Fan’s body, but even a giant boulder!
Understanding this clearly, Ye Fan didn’t dare to et it head-on and instead, he flickered, turning into a phantom and dashing to the side!
The next mont.
The blood-red sword light howled past Ye Fan’s side, instantly slicing through the afterimage Ye Fan left behind!
“Whoosh!
Whoosh!”
The sound of the blade wind whistled, sweeping over Ye Fan, but it didn’t cause him any harm, directly dissipated by the Power covering his body.
“Crack—”
At the sa ti, the sword light that passed by Ye Fan’s side chopped downward from above, turning the green bricks on the ground into a pile of dust and leaving a deep crack.
For a mont, dust billowed but could not get close to Ye Fan, swept away by the airflow.
Within the flow of air, Ye Fan stood proudly!
He dodged it?!
In the sky above, Cang Bo’s eyes suddenly bulged, filled with shock as he looked toward the proudly standing Ye Fan!
“Whew~”
Bodhi Wu Yin inwardly sighed in relief, his hanging heart quietly falling back into place, at the sa ti admiring Ye Fan’s combat skills that were not inferior to Emperor Bai’s.
Ye Fan not only exploited Emperor Bai’s psychology of wanting to show off his strongest strike, but his timing was also nothing short of perfect.
“Uh…”
The smile on Jie Dao’s face instantly froze, his mouth agape wide as if a coconut could fit in!
“This…
How is this possible?”
Emperor Bai’s eyes widened, staring unbelievably at Ye Fan.
That slash just now, although he was caught off guard by Ye Fan, its power was only half that of his strongest strike, but it should have been enough to kill Ye Fan!
Even a cultivator of the Half-step Gang Qi Realm should have been slain by that one slash!
“Ye Fan is not dead!”
“Ye Fan intercepted Emperor Bai’s strongest slash!”
“Wasn’t Emperor Bai said to be able to defeat a Half-step Gang Qi realm expert in one slash?”
“Yes, I heard that the ‘Blood Shadow Saber Technique’ Emperor Bai cultivates rges his blood qi and killing qi into the saber technique, greatly intimidating an opponent’s Consciousness.
Once affected, the opponent hardly had a chance to dodge and must face it head-on, unable to exert their fullest potential, its power imnsely terrifying!”
“That’s right.
I also heard about the legends of the ‘Blood Shadow Saber Technique’.
It’s precisely by this terrifying saber technique that Emperor Bai seized the crown of the Qing bang, erging as a leading figure among the younger generation!”
“How then could Ye Fan have dodged it?”
Outside the arena, the disciples of the Tian Shan Sword Sect too saw the outco of the duel, at first in a clamor, then unanimously turning their gaze towards Ye Fan, filled with curiosity.
Hearing those Tian Shan Sword Sect disciples’ comnts, Xiao Selang’s expression turned very ugly.
For him, how Ye Fan dodged Emperor Bai’s slash was not important; what was crucial was that Ye Fan had dodged it!
This had thwarted his desire to see Ye Fan bloodily slain on the spot!
If even Xiao Selang felt this way, how much more so for Emperor Bai?
On the arena, Emperor Bai had recovered from his shock, realizing that Ye Fan had previously deliberately concealed the true power of his Flying Knife Assassination and had just now caught him off guard, allowing him to erge unscathed from the blade light!
Understanding all this, Emperor Bai, like a lion played for a fool, beca completely enraged, staring at Ye Fan with bloodshot eyes, emitting a terrifying killing intent.
Even his hands trembled slightly, as if ready to strike Ye Fan with a second slash at any mont!
“The duel is over, Jie Dao, your disciple has lost.
Please fulfill the pre-duel agreent!”
Noticing Emperor Bai’s fury and murderous intent, Bodhi Wu Yin floated beside Ye Fan and gently reminded.
“Snort~”
As Bodhi Wu Yin’s words reached his ears, Jie Dao’s lips twitched, his face turned ashen, but he dared not erupt in anger and instead looked towards Emperor Bai, “Little Emperor, give him the Snow Lotus King.”
“Swoosh——”
Although Emperor Bai was desperate to tear Ye Fan into pieces, he knew with Bodhi Wu Yin there, he couldn’t harm even a hair on Ye Fan and reluctantly threw the Snow Lotus King to Ye Fan, then started to step away.
“Wait, the terms of our duel haven’t been fully honored yet—you still need to slap your own face ten tis and apologize to my master!”
Ye Fan caught the Snow Lotus King, expressionlessly spoke, “Of course, if you still want to kneel and call grandpa, I don’t mind!”
