Holding the sword and standing on the empty ground beside him, a sword-wielding silhouette emerged in Ye Chen's mind.

This was a heritage he had just obtained from the Sword Tomb, named the Wind and Cloud Sword, a low-grade mystic level!

The Wind and Cloud Sword consists of seven moves, focusing on sword strikes as fast as the wind and changes as unpredictable as clouds, swift and agile, with endless variations.

The Thirteen Death Swords is purely a technique to kill enemies!

But the Wind and Cloud Sword is both offensive and defensive, even incorporating the profound mysteries of body techniques.

With only half a day left, Ye Chen wasn't sure if he could master the Wind and Cloud Sword.

Just do it!

Carefully observing the power flow and sword-drawing technique of the shadow in his mind, Ye Chen watched several times before concentrating. He operated his sword essence, suddenly gripped the sword hilt with his right hand, drew the sword, and made a diagonal slash.

The entire movement was done in one go.

This was the opening move of the Wind and Cloud Sword's first strike, Wind Rise!

As Ye Chen executed the move, a gentle breeze arose, causing the grass on the ground to sway slightly.

Failed!

Ye Chen was not discouraged and continued to observe the inherited imagery in his mind, pondering.

Half an hour.

An hour.

Nearly two hours passed.

Ye Chen practiced the first move, Wind Rise, hundreds of times, and it finally took shape. With a sword strike, sand and rocks flew within three feet!

Now, Ye Chen was practicing the second move, Wind Swirl!

If Wind Rise was a startling move, then Wind Swirl was a twisting and entangling one, first trapping the enemy, then killing.

This move required more precise control of strength, with sword techniques like swirling waves, looping endlessly.

Immersed in practicing the Wind and Cloud Sword, Ye Chen did not notice Hua Qianxue standing more than ten meters away.

Hua Qianxue was watching every move of Ye Chen's sword, her eyes flickering, and suddenly spoke, "The sword technique you pursue embodies the power of wind.

Wind can be light and formless, or it can be heavy and majestic, or fierce and violent.

To practice this sword technique, you must first understand what wind is.

If you don't understand the basics, no matter how you practice, it will be twice the effort for half the result, remaining on the surface of the sword technique without grasping its essence!"

Ye Chen paused, thoughtful.

"When I practiced the Thirteen Death Swords, my mind was full of killing, so I naturally grasped the key of the Thirteen Death Swords quickly, not only mastering it but also using it as a foundation to comprehend the Sword Intent of slaughter!

Now, I want to practice the Wind and Cloud Sword. If I don't understand what wind is, then all my practice now is in vain."

Ye Chen looked at Hua Qianxue, his eyes becoming fervent, "Miss Hua, what you said makes a lot of sense!"

Hua Qianxue: "…"

Ye Chen said, "Miss Hua, I want to comprehend the wind, and you have wind, it must be destiny."

He remembered clearly that Hua Qianxue had mastered three types of Sword Intent: Ice, Flame, and Gale.

Hua Qianxue felt an impulse to slash Ye Chen with a sword.

"Miss Hua, quickly use your Gale Sword Intent to strike me!" Ye Chen shouted.

Hua Qianxue: "…"

Ye Chen said, "I don't have much time now, comprehending on my own might be too late. Miss Hua, your Gale Sword Intent can help me, please help me. I, Ye Chen, am not like Gu Yue of the Celestial Sword Sect, that heartless bastard. You treat me well, and I will treat you even better in the future!"

"Who wants to treat you well!" Hua Qianxue gritted her teeth, joining her right hand's middle and index fingers, she pointed out, a Sword Qi formed from the Gale Sword Intent shot towards Ye Chen.

This Sword Qi reached in front of Ye Chen, then suddenly exploded, transforming into a whirlwind that swirled around Ye Chen.

Knowing well the rarity of the opportunity, Ye Chen immediately sought to understand Hua Qianxue's Gale Sword Intent, then observed the inherited imagery in his mind. Combining the two, he slowly executed the first move of the Wind and Cloud Sword, Wind Rise!

"Swish!"

The wind swept across.

The feeling was completely different from before.

A quarter-hour later.

The Gale Sword Intent dissipated.

Ye Chen looked at Hua Qianxue with puppy eyes, scratching the back of his head, "Miss Hua, I will definitely treat you well in the future!"

Hua Qianxue silently turned and walked away.

"Miss Hua…" Ye Chen hurriedly chased after her.

At that moment, Hua Qianxue drew her sword!

She drew the sword abruptly, not even looking back, she swung it with a backhand, and the sword light was even more domineering than the previous Gale Sword Intent!

Ye Chen seized the chance to continue his comprehension.

This was Hua Qianxue's treasured technique, he couldn't let down the young lady!

Unknowingly.

The sky gradually darkened.

Ye Chen caught a plump wild rabbit, roasted golden and fragrant, then tore off a rabbit leg and handed the rest to Hua Qianxue.

"Miss Hua, as long as I have a bite, you'll have several. Don't be polite with me!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

Hua Qianxue rolled her eyes at Ye Chen, saying, "Eat by yourself, you need strength to kill."

While saying this, Hua Qianxue, as if by magic, conjured a jade bottle, then poured a few drops of milky white liquid into her mouth.

This thing is called Earth Core Milk, Ye Chen had asked before, and Hua Qianxue mostly drinks this when she's hungry.

As for how Hua Qianxue often conjures things out of thin air, that's a Storage Ring.

Ye Chen ate his fill and burped.

Seeing this, Hua Qianxue stood up, took out her Dao Sword, and an extremely powerful aura surged from her, coldly saying, "The three-day deadline has arrived, if you want to fight, come on out."

As her words fell, the sound of breaking wind rang out.

Figures appeared around them.

Ye Chen glanced around, grinned broadly, wiped the grease from his palms, picked up his sword, and stood up.

An old crone sneered, "Boy, making so many reputable people come this far for your head and wait this long, even in death, you can be proud."

Ye Chen looked at the old crone who spoke, "Are you Gu Yue's lover?"

The old crone's fury surged, "Brat, watch your filthy mouth!"

Ye Chen said, "Gu Yue is so ugly, and you're just as ugly. You're a match made in heaven."

The old servant roared angrily.

Hua Qianxue frowned slightly and swung her sword!

"Swish!"

The Sword Qi sliced through the air, and the old woman's head separated from her body.

"Young girl, wasn't that a bit too much? Three days ago, we gave you face, and you said you wouldn't interfere if it was below the Qi Sea. Now what is this?" someone protested loudly.

"Ye Chen is right, she's ugly," Hua Qianxue said indifferently. "What, you're not convinced?"

The protester instantly withdrew, not daring to make a sound.

Hua Qianxue flickered and left the space for Ye Chen.

At this moment, a loud shout erupted.

A muscular man in his twenties jumped in front of Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, remember, the one who takes your head is called..."

Before he could finish, a flash of sword light appeared before him.

"Puff!"

One sword, through the throat!

Ye Chen withdrew his sword, looking at the guy in front of him, and said, "I'm not interested in who you are."

Bang!

The corpse hit the ground.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man's face turned unsightly.

His son was the first to make a move, and in the end, he didn't even finish his sentence before being killed by Ye Chen.

At this moment, a young woman stepped forward.

The young woman was somewhat attractive, with a good figure. Owing to the earlier lesson, as soon as she appeared, she activated her True Essence throughout her body.

"Ye Chen, in a martial artist's battle, what matters is fairness, but you just launched a sneak attack. You've disgraced all martial artists!"

Ye Chen snorted, "Idiot, it's either you live or I die, and you talk about fairness? You're all ganging up for a wheel battle, is that fair?"

The woman was so angry her chest heaved violently.

"Big chest, no brains!"

Ye Chen growled and suddenly charged, his Slaughter Sword Intent erupted, and the phantom of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea emerged.

The woman suddenly clasped her hands, forming a seal with her fingers, and a thick glow of Yuan Power burst from her.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen's sword hit the Yuan Power glow but couldn't break through. Instead, his body was knocked back.

"I am at True Essence Third Layer, far stronger than Huang Tianxiong from Qingyun City at True Essence Realm Third Layer. You were able to kill Huang Tianxiong, but I can easily kill you!"

The woman said proudly.

"Die!"

Ye Chen charged at the woman again.

The woman struck out with her palm.

A cold gleam flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. The phantom of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea instantly condensed into his sword, and a strange blood color emerged from the sword's edge.

The strongest single-target killing move of the Thirteen Death Swords, a sword that severs worlds!

One sword, eternal separation of life and death!

With this sword, Ye Chen pierced through the True Essence gathered in the woman's palm, then punctured through her hand, and finally pierced her forehead!

"In a direct fight, you can't withstand even one of my swords!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, kicking out with his foot and sending the body flying, then looked around and said, "My head is right here, whoever wants it, come and take it!"

"Stop being so arrogant, I, Lin Hao, will kill you!"

A loud shout, and a young man, holding a folding fan, charged out.

The man rushed to Ye Chen and suddenly flicked open the fan in his hand.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

A sharp sound rang out.

Ye Chen swept his sword in front of him.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

A barrage of hidden weapons were deflected by him, then he twisted his wrist, and the sharp sword slashed upward at the guy named Lin Hao.

The first move of the Wind and Cloud Sword, Wind Arises!

In an instant, a gust surged from the sword's edge.

"Swish!"

The sword tip sliced through Lin Hao's folding fan, then continued from Lin Hao's right abdomen, slashing across to his left shoulder!

Lin Hao's body was sliced into two by Ye Chen's sword!

"Fierce Wind Sword Intent!"

"Ye Chen has another trump card besides the Slaughter Sword Intent, the Fierce Wind Sword Intent!"

"Oh my God, he hasn't even reached True Essence Realm, yet he's mastered two Sword Intents. This child must die, or else if he bears a grudge over today's events, he'll surely come back to seek revenge!"

The surrounding elders were all shocked.

Not yet at True Essence Realm, yet mastering two Sword Intents; it was simply unbelievable!

An expression of shock appeared on Hua Qianxue's delicate face as well.

This afternoon, Ye Chen's understanding of the wind was virtually non-existent.

Even though she had given Ye Chen two instances of Fierce Wind Sword Intent to help him comprehend...since then, at most only three hours had passed.

Hua Qianxue could see that Ye Chen's Fierce Wind Sword Intent was still quite rudimentary and seemed clumsy to use, but he had indeed comprehended it!

Three hours, and Ye Chen had comprehended the Fierce Wind Sword Intent?!

Hua Qianxue thought about her conversation with her teacher Yang Tianji that day.

"I began practicing swordsmanship at seven, comprehended Sword Intent at fifteen, and mastered three Sword Intents by eighteen..."

Hua Qianxue only felt her face burning with shame!
