Back then, it was the sa situation; everyone believed Ye Shikai would be overwheld by his opponent and faced a life-threatening danger. At that critical mont, Ye Shikai suddenly erupted with astounding combat power, countering his adversary. Ji Qian, well-versed in world history and knowledgeable about extrely niche topics, probably recognized the origin of this formidable sword Ye Shikai wielded, which he had erged with from Bai Qi’s Tomb.
"It turns out to be Bai Qi’s sword, You Xi," Ji Qian murmured. Everyone’s eyes fixated on the sword in Ye Shikai’s hand. While judging a person’s character can take ti, discerning the worth of a sword requires just a glance.
The sword in Ye Shikai’s hand was certainly not an ordinary weapon; even for large families or sects, this level of Divine Artifact would surely serve as a sacred treasure for the sect and only the Sect Leader would possess it. Yet, here it was, in the hand of such a young man, leaving the audience in astonishnt.
"You Xi Sword." At that mont, another woman in the crowd recognized the weapon; it was Li Yueying. No wonder Ye Shikai had the audacity to provoke Tang Can; he indeed had gotten hold of a treasure.
"This kid, luckily struck gold," Li Yueying muttered jealously, ntally noting that it was no wonder Chen Yuxin wanted to marry him. The fa of the Netherworld King preceded him. Now, she felt regret over having ever offended Ye Shikai. Fortunately, he wasn’t particularly hostile toward the Li Mansion, where she was the eldest daughter competing for the Family Head position and naturally seeking external aid. With Ye Shikai’s support ca Chen Yuxin’s help too, especially considering the close relationship Ji Qian seed to have with Ye Shikai.
Li Yueying gave a sly smile, knowing how to win Ye Shikai’s favor and aid; it was just a matter of ti. For instance, she could now step forward to aid Ye Shikai since, in Chang’an, the Tang Family and the Li Mansion have always been rivals. If she sided with Ye Shikai at this mont, she could suppress Tang Can’s montum while extending a courtesy to Ye Shikai.
Tang Can, witnessing the Divine Artifact in Ye Shikai’s grasp, felt a shiver run through his heart. This weapon, rarely seen in a hundred years, exuded formidable Sword Qi. Even though Ye Shikai’s cultivation wasn’t strong, killing him now would an taking possession of the sword. Tang Can steadied his nerves and charged again, aiming a palm strike at Ye Shikai’s brow.
Ye Shikai t his advance unflinchingly, wielding his sword to pierce Tang Can’s palm.
Two waves of energy surged and clashed. With profound Inner Strength reinforced by his treasured belongings, Tang Can unleashed his full power. His late-stage Divine Separation prowess was indeed formidable, prompting the spectators to discreetly step back lest they get caught up in collateral damage.
Ye Shikai gritted his teeth, knowing his Inner Strength couldn’t match Tang Can’s. Even with the Inner God Scripture, his Inner Strength could only reach mid-stage Divine Separation level. Deploying such intense Inner Strength would incur severe backlash. Although Bai Qi had passed Inner Strength to him, it was like a child newly erging into the world, requiring adaptation in Ye Shikai’s body. Even now, he sensed the chaotic energies within. The formidable Sword Power of the You Xi Sword compensated for his lack of Inner Strength, resulting in a deadlock between the two n, leaving the audience stunned as Ye Shikai stood his ground against Tang Can. Thus, in terms of combat capability, Ye Shikai already had the prowess of a sect leader. Besides acknowledging Ye Shikai’s individual strength, the crowd focused intently on the You Xi Sword, predicting Ye Shikai would soon beco "everyone’s target."
Ye Shikai, sword in hand, let out a rallying cry, shattering the stone tiles beneath his feet. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as excessive Inner Strength drained him, with his organs nearly unable to endure.
Chen Yuxin, her face stern, suddenly drew the Chunjun Sword and charged forward. This "noble without equal" sword was equally powerful. Compared to You Xi’s ferocity, the Chunjun Sword clearly showcased softer finesse.
Thud.
The dual swords pierced through the balance, causing Tang Can to spew blood and stagger backward while gasping heavily. Both swords were legendary. Despite her youth, Chen Yuxin inherited true teachings from Chen Yaogzu. Coupled with Ye Shikai wielding the You Xi Sword, the powerful Sword Power injured Tang Can, with a massive shockwave flipping Ye Shikai over. Ji Qian acted swiftly to steady Ye Shikai’s body. Chen Yuxin stepped back as well; such intense energy was hard for her to withstand.
"Tang Can, today, you dared to attack my husband. One day, my Chen Family will settle this blood debt," Chen Yuxin seethed, staring down Tang Can. His repeated attempts on Ye Shikai’s life were intolerable, leaving no option but to tear off the veneer. Unafraid of the Tang Family, Ye Shikai held an unshakable position in her heart, fueling the fire in her eyes. Soday, she promised herself, the Tang Family would pay.
"Xin, do not agitate," Ye Shikai said, feeling tumultuous energy within, realizing that battling Tang Can had cost him dearly. Mastering the You Xi Sword demanded profound Inner Strength, and having just acquired it, he needed ti to harmonize before harnessing its full potential.
"Mr. Ye is a distinguished guest of my Li Mansion. Senior Tang, such action seems rather dismissive of my Li Mansion," Li Yueying stepped forward, startling everyone. The Li Mansion supporting Ye Shikai astonished the crowd. As Li Yueying, the eldest daughter of the Li Mansion, her unique identity stood for the mansion’s will. Now with the backing of the Li Mansion and Chen Family, along with Ji Qian seemingly supporting him all along, Ye Shikai’s favorability shifted significantly. Because justice triumphs with support and lacks strength alone, now with the Li Mansion and Chen Family aiding him, plus even Ji Qian, those who intended to snatch the You Xi Sword received a clear warning. As an elder, Tang Can using such aggression against a junior would certainly face criticism.
Ye Shikai swallowed several pills to restore Inner Strength, determining after this battle that he had both avenged Tang Can’s insults and gravely injured the Tang Family while "gloriously debuting" among Huaxia’s families. Crucially, the You Xi Sword, an unparalleled Divine Weapon, would undoubtedly entice covetous eyes. Yet, with Ye Shikai fighting Tang Can to a standstill, those wishing to wrest the You Xi Sword were forewarned that Ye Shikai would show no rcy, intimidating onlookers, allowing them safe departure from the relic site.
