A gentle breeze blew past.

The smell of blood in the arena was spreading.

Ye Chen stood among a pile of corpses, frowning.

Though covered in blood, he was not injured.

His strength was nearly exhausted, even though the energy from the elixirs hadn't fully recovered him, but he could still keep fighting.

His frown was because the power that was about to burst out was still stuck behind a bottleneck.

Just one last push!

Yet, just that last push, and the battle was over!

This feeling made him want to spit blood in frustration!

Seeing that it was almost over, but there was no way to continue.

Ye Chen said nothing.

There was no sound around either.

He glanced around and saw a row of stupefied faces.

"Celestial Sword Sect, is there no one left?! If so, continue! One comes, I kill one!" Ye Chen shouted, his voice rolling like thunder!

The people around him, their hearts had become numbed by the continuous shocks, but upon hearing Ye Chen's words, their numb hearts trembled again.

Want to fight more?

Can still fight?

This... is he even human?!

You're just a martial artist at the Sea of Qi Realm!

You've only joined Cangxing Martial Arts Academy for two months!

And at this moment.

In the sky, a figure swooped in, the figure exuded a sharp aura.

"If you want to fight, I'll satisfy you!"

"Swoosh!"

The figure in the sky struck down with a sword.

Immediately, a cold aura spread, and the world seemed to plunge into an icy cave.

A Sword Qi formed from ice slashed towards Ye Chen.

In Ye Chen's eyes, a brilliant light flashed, finally... a strong one arrived!

The sword in his hand angled upwards.

Wind and Cloud Sword, the wind rises!

A sudden gust converged at the sword's edge, meeting the icy Sword Qi.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion echoed out.

Ye Chen's legs skidded back dozens of meters across the ground.

The icy Sword Qi also shattered into pieces, shooting in all directions.

The suddenly appeared figure had landed, a man in a white robe embroidered with the Celestial Sword Sect's emblem, with handsome features, a high nose, thin lips, and a constant cold aura about him.

"The Celestial Sword Sect's top ten disciples, ranked fourth, Frost Wei Jian!"

Surrounding them now, apart from the disciples of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and the Commandery Governor's forces, there were also many bystanders from other factions within the Unparalleled County, and someone among them called out his name in surprise.

"This is the strongest below the Primordial Embryo Realm in the Celestial Sword Sect."

"Half a year ago, he killed a Primordial Embryo Realm First Layer opponent."

"Yes, after killing a Primordial Embryo Realm First Layer opponent, Wei Jian began his retreat to break through to the Primordial Embryo Realm, and even though he hasn't achieved it yet, there's no denying he's grown stronger than half a year ago."

"Now that Wei Jian is here, if this battle results in a victory, the farce between Celestial Sword Sect and Cangxing Martial Arts Academy should soon conclude."

"Wrong, if Ye Chen can defeat Wei Jian, this conflict will end. If Ye Chen cannot defeat Wei Jian, Wei Jian will represent the Celestial Sword Sect in a frenzied retaliation against Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's disciples. The Celestial Sword Sect's earlier catastrophe will soon replay at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy."

Amidst the surrounding discussions.

The disciples of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy became anxious!

Wei Jian, who half a year ago could kill a Primordial Embryo Realm First Layer opponent, is now still at the peak of the Elemental Wheel Realm, even without breakthrough, his combat prowess must have vastly increased.

Ye Chen, having just endured such a fierce battle, is unfit to face Wei Jian now.

"Wei Jian, I shall fight you!"

A male student from the Star Martial System stepped out with a loud shout.

"Ye Chen, step down and rest a bit, then fight once you're recovered enough, this guy, leave him to us!"

"That's right, there's no need to keep pushing, you've already proven yourself."

Wei Jian's gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, the cold aura around him freezing the air, layers of ice spreading around him.

The losses for the Celestial Sword Sect were immense!

Wei Jian glanced at Ye Chen, then at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy disciples, and coldly said, "Since Ye Chen fights alone, then I, Wei Jian, will also fight alone!"

Killing together is enjoyable!

He had the skill, and the confidence!

"Want to emulate me? You're not qualified!" Ye Chen sneered, then shouted, "I'll kill this one."

Almost there, the special power within him could unleash, and this Wei Jian was strong enough, making it perfect.

"The way you are now, to me, you're just a stray dog, killable with one sword!" Wei Jian coldly said.

Ye Chen sneered back, "Stop spouting nonsense, did that sword just now kill me? Besides, aren't you all wishing for my death? Stop pretending, it's disgusting!"

"Ye Chen, I'll fulfill you. After killing you, I'll slaughter all the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy people here!"

"You won't get the chance, because you will end up like these corpses on the ground, dead by my sword."

The killing intent emanating from Wei Jian abruptly exploded, and he slashed out with his sword!

Absolute Freeze!

A layer of ice spread with his sword slashing out, instantly extending to Ye Chen, the piercing cold seemed to want to freeze Ye Chen's body.

Ye Chen snorted coldly, his sword essence burst forth, blazing Sword Intent enveloped him, burning the ice away as he slashed out with his sword.

"Crack, crack!"

Ice shattering.

Wei Jian's sword clashed with Ye Chen's sword.

"Clang!"

Ye Chen's body was sent flying backward, a cold force invaded his body through the Spirit Sword in his hand, which was instantly dispersed by Ye Chen's sword energy.

"Kill me with one sword? Who gave you that confidence!" Ye Chen steadied himself, shouting loudly.

Wei Jian felt his pride was somewhat bruised.

Upon arriving, he struck two swords at Ye Chen, yet Ye Chen remained unharmed. The previous claim of killing Ye Chen with one sword indeed backfired.

"You are destined to die, the process doesn't matter!"

Wei Jian roared, leaping up, swinging sword after sword in the air, forming Sword Qi of cold ice that shot explosively towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen no longer used the Heaven-Ascending Step.

His state couldn't sustain many steps.

Even using Heaven-Ascending Step to approach Wei Jian might not guarantee killing him in one move.

His strength was indeed much stronger than any previous opponents.

Even without using Heaven-Ascending Step, Ye Chen could rely on the Wind and Cloud Sword's paired body technique and keen perception to dodge Wei Jian's attacks.

Under this pressure, Ye Chen felt increasingly the urge to unleash a force within his body!

He was ecstatic.

He vaguely understood what this force was.

Power!

It felt very similar to the transformation from Killing Sword Intent to Killing Sword Power!

Moreover, this power was stronger than Killing Sword Power.

This was the Invincible Power he unleashed today!

Once this Invincible Power broke through the bottleneck, it could become his main sword power!

Luo Qingyi had previously mentioned that sword power is defined by strength, not quantity.

Wei Jian, frustrated by the long fight, furrowed his brow, and dived from the air to launch close-range combat against Ye Chen.

Ye Chen used the Wind and Cloud Sword, Thunderbolt Sword, and Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword's variations to duel with him!

For a while, the sound of the two swords clashing was incessant.

Every observer had countless thoughts running through their minds.

"Wei Jian's prowess is undeniable; an ordinary Primordial Embryo Realm Second Layer would likely struggle against him for so long. Ye Chen can persist without defeat due to many factors; he understands the union of man and sword, and his Sword Intent is vast."

"Even if he withstands it, if this continues, Ye Chen will undoubtedly lose. He consumed too much fighting Celestial Sword Sect members before, unable to use Killing Sword Power or his mysterious Spiritual Attack."

"Without prior battles, Ye Chen might have killed Wei Jian. What a pity..."

Everyone from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was tense, silent but ready to intervene.

If Ye Chen couldn't hold on, someone would immediately step in to withstand Wei Jian's attack, ensuring Ye Chen's safety.

At this moment.

Luo Tian, watching the battle between Ye Chen and Wei Jian, spoke: "Fellow seniors, leave it to me later!"

While speaking.

Blood beads seeped from Luo Tian's forearms.

But his body already had much blood; no one noticed this, yet everyone sensed the extremely violent aura waiting to explode from Luo Tian!

"Miss," Qin Chong whispered.

Qu Xiao's expression was serious, saying, "If it really doesn't work later, I'll intervene. Though my strength surpasses the Primordial Wheel, violating rules, regardless, I must protect Ye Chen!"

"Let me do it," Qin Chong said.

Qu Xiao shook her head: "I'll intervene, more assurance."

Pausing, Qu Xiao continued: "Perhaps we won't need to act, I always feel Ye Chen will create another miracle; someone destined to be a legend won't be defeated like this."

In the scene, Ye Chen began getting injured.

Minor injuries.

But for Wei Jian, it was a good omen, meaning Ye Chen was finally struggling.

"You're at the end of your rope, what do you fight with, Ye Chen? Time to send you away!" Wei Jian laughed, then shouted: "Cold Ice Ruthless Slash!"

The icy aura surged multiple times more, striking towards Ye Chen's head!

"I… understand!"

At this moment, Ye Chen finally got it!

Reaching this stage of battle, theoretically, Invincible Sword Power should have erupted.

But factually, Invincible Sword Power was always hindered by a bottleneck.

Now, Ye Chen finally understood!

What is invincible?

To be invincible is to sweep away all obstacles!

To be invincible is to fearlessly suppress all enemies!

Invincibility needs nothing else but one's own belief!

Previously, always thinking to use pressure from Wei Jian to create Invincible Sword Power was completely wrong.

A moment of enlightenment.

Ye Chen's mind suddenly cleared.

Facing Wei Jian's fierce strike, Ye Chen charged forward towards Wei Jian's edge.

"I am invincible!"

A great shout emerged from Ye Chen's mouth.

This shout spread far and wide, filled with grandiosity, dimming the skies and earth!
