As Ye Chen appeared, everyone was momentarily stunned before a clamor erupted.

"I thought you wouldn't dare come, but it seems you have quite the courage. However, coming here is just asking for humiliation!" On the high platform, Qi Cultivator sneered coldly and continued, "You heard what I said just now, didn't you? Kneel down, kowtow, and apologize. We'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, bear the consequences!"

Ye Chen leaped onto the high platform and said, "It seems you didn't hear my words clearly before. Ranked one hundred on the Qingyun List and yet you're deaf? I said, you're not qualified!"

"You..." Qi Cultivator was so angry that his hand holding the saber trembled.

Ye Chen inspected the Crescent Celestial Saber in Qi Cultivator's hands, activating the Martial Arts True Eye.

Miss Hei cared so much about this saber, it was definitely more than just a top-grade spiritual weapon. After all, Miss Hei herself possessed Heaven-Reaching Realm cultivation, so it wasn't like her to risk so much for a mere top-grade spiritual weapon.

As expected.

Under Ye Chen's Martial Arts True Eye, he discovered that the Crescent Celestial Saber contained an extremely unique energy.

Ye Chen could only vaguely perceive a hint of it.

It's very likely the Qi Family, having held this saber for so long, didn't even know this secret.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have awarded the Crescent Celestial Saber to Qi Cultivator.

Ranked one hundred on the Qingyun List, using a top-grade spiritual weapon is already extravagant enough, let alone one with a hidden secret—simply impossible.

The only explanation is that the Qi Family knows nothing.

Ye Chen glanced at Qi Shengjing standing beside Qi Cultivator and said, "In my duel with Qi Cultivator, all irrelevant people, get lost!"

Once these words were spoken, the entire audience was dumbfounded.

Qi Shengjing, the Patriarch of the Qi Family, such a distinguished figure, was actually told by Ye Chen to get lost...

Yue the Third's mouth twitched. He dared to challenge the Qi Family, but that didn't mean he could endure Qi Shengjing's wrath.

"Patriarch Qi, since it's a battle between the young ones, let's leave space for them," Yue the Third quickly said.

Ye Chen: "..."

So it was the Qi Family's Patriarch...

Qi Mo from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion also spoke up, "Patriarch Qi, everyone is eager for this battle, so let them start the fight quickly."

Though Yue the Third and Qi Mo didn't want Ye Chen and Qi Cultivator to fight, now they wished it would start quickly... Otherwise, if the erupting Qi Shengjing made a move... Ye Chen might really get killed.

"Brother Chen, go for it! If anyone dares bully you, I'll call my grandfather!" Mu Qingqing shouted.

Qi Shengjing glanced at Mu Qingqing, frowning.

The True Martial Hall and Celestial Soldier Pavilion are places of rules.

But Mu Zhengxiong, that old thing, never follows conventional logic. The Qi Family isn't afraid of Mu Zhengxiong, but they don't want such trouble!

Besides, as the dignified head of the Qi Family, dealing with Ye Chen would be quite disgraceful.

So he'll let his son Qi Cultivator teach Ye Chen a lesson!

"Xiu'er, this battle, don't hold back!" Qi Shengjing's tone was gloomy, then he stepped out of the high platform.

Leaving only Ye Chen and Qi Cultivator on the high platform.

Qi Cultivator pointed his bent saber at Ye Chen, saying, "Ye Chen, I've given you a chance. It's you who doesn't know what's good for you. Everything that follows, you brought upon yourself!"

As he spoke, Qi Cultivator's power exploded!

The Unity Realm Second Layer, truth be told, is stronger than the Iron Armor Race Unity Realm Third Layer warrior Ye Chen killed outside the heavens.

Moreover, Qi Cultivator's power surged into the Crescent Celestial Saber, permeating with a cold blade light that had the peculiar ability to enthrall minds.

"Isn't this fight a bit meaningless?" Ye Chen smiled and said, "Why not make a bet, dare you?"

"Why wouldn't I dare!" Qi Cultivator shouted angrily!

"Alright!" This fool Qi Cultivator had taken the bait, Ye Chen continued, "I think your saber is nice. If I win, the saber is mine."

Qi Cultivator furrowed his eyebrows.

After all, it's a top-grade spiritual weapon.

He is a direct descendant of the Qi Family and the only one in decades to enter the Qingyun List, allowing him to be exceptionally rewarded with such a gift.

But recalling Ye Chen's strength, Qi Cultivator's confidence surged, saying, "If you want to bet, you should offer something equivalent, yet you have nothing I desire, so if you lose, break your own Dantian, sever your meridians, and kneel at my Qi Family's gate for three days and nights!"

Instead of letting Ye Chen die.

It's better to torture Ye Chen in such a manner!

This is countless times more painful than death.

Moreover, once Ye Chen is ruined, there will be countless ways to toy with him later!

Ye Chen readily agreed: "Alright!"

Below the platform.

Yue the Third, Qi Mo, and others were on edge.

This bet was too large!

However, the matter was settled, and they couldn't intervene.

"Father."

A few days ago, Qi Yu, whose face was slashed by Ye Chen with a sword, approached Qi Shengjing.

Though the Qi Family had experts help restore her face, the humiliation of that day left Qi Yu wishing to slice Ye Chen into a thousand pieces.

Qi Shengjing hummed in response and said quietly, "Yu'er, once Ye Chen becomes a cripple, even the True Martial Hall cannot protect him. Then, you can vent your frustrations as you wish. Remember, don't let this suppression weigh down your mindset!"

Qi Yu said, "Father, Yu'er understands."

With the rise of discussions, nearly all were mocking Ye Chen's presumptuousness, and few believed Ye Chen could win.

Only Mu Qingqing had blind faith in Ye Chen, waving her fists and shouting, "Brother Chen, go for it!"

On the high platform.

Qi Cultivator's strength had reached its peak state.

Ye Chen slowly drew the Celestial Mark Sword in his hand.

The sword light slipped from the scabbard. Once fully drawn, the sword light flashed brilliantly, with a sonorous sword cry echoing between heaven and earth, the sharp sword energy infused within the blade radiating a fierce aura.

"So you've stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm, but even with this power, you're nothing but a useless creature to me, incapable of any threat. Your sword is merely a top-grade spiritual sword. Soon, I shall break your sword and shatter your future!" Qi Cultivator spoke disdainfully.

Ye Chen sneered and in the next moment, plunged the Celestial Mark Sword into the ground.

"Rumble!"

With the eruption of Earth Sword Intent, the ground of the high platform churned and surged toward Qi Cultivator, eventually forming a giant earth and stone dragon!

Qi Cultivator slashed at the ground, the blade light, like a crescent moon, gained dominance with the Crescent Celestial Saber's boost, showcasing both power and grace.

"Boom!"

The earth stone dragon shattered, fragments flew, and dust filled the air.

With a swift toe tap on the ground, Ye Chen, in a state of unity with the sword, parted the swirling dust with a slash, brilliant white light erupting from the sword.

The Light Sword Intent, Light Splitting Sword!

"Swish!"

The Crescent Celestial Saber in Qi Cultivator's hand swung down, laying a glow of moonlight blade energy in front, the blade light omnipresent.

The collision of blade and sword filled the air with clashing sounds. In the blink of an eye, blades and swords had already clashed dozens of times!

Subsequently, at the point of intersection between blade and sword light, both Ye Chen and Qi Cultivator retreated rapidly. After landing, their feet embedded in the ground still dragged back over ten meters!

The spectators watching were all amazed.

Ye Chen, newly entering the Mortal Transformation Realm, unexpectedly held his own in a brief clash against Qi Cultivator of the Unity Realm Second Layer wielding the top-grade spiritual Crescent Celestial Saber...

"Just this level for the hundredth rank on the Qingyun List?" Ye Chen sneered.

Qi Cultivator's face looked bad. He gripped his saber with both hands and shouted, "I was only using sixty percent of my strength before. This next move will decide victory!"

Ye Chen wasn't convinced. Clearly, this fool had been going all out before.

It seemed Qi Cultivator was preparing a big move.

However, Ye Chen held no fear.

"To decide it with one move, I'll oblige you!" Ye Chen shouted.

A big move? As if he's the only one who has one!
