Unrivaled County, Feijian Martial Arts Hall.

This is a base of the Celestial Sword Sect in the county city.

Most people dispatched by the Celestial Sword Sect are gathered here.

Ye Chen and his group headed straight for Feijian Martial Arts Hall.

Before they got close, suddenly, Sword Qi shot out from the hall.

"Be careful!"

Ouyang Xiaoling shouted loudly, waving her hand, turning the seven-colored ribbon into a rainbow-like defense, blocking a wave of Sword Qi.

She was at the Elemental Wheel Realm, a Tier Four Spirit Master, quite powerful.

The other disciples of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy also used various means to resist the Sword Qi shooting from the Feijian Martial Arts Hall.

For a moment.

The area around Feijian Martial Arts Hall erupted in continuous explosions.

Ye Chen was in mid-air, deploying the Wind and Cloud Sword technique.

Of the sword techniques he currently mastered, the Wind and Cloud Sword was most suitable for both attack and defense in this situation.

The Fierce Wind Sword Intent and Dripping Water Sword Intent burst forth, shattering streams of Sword Qi.

A moment later.

No more Sword Qi shot out from the Feijian Martial Arts Hall.

No lives were lost among the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy disciples, though a small number were injured.

"I really didn't expect that the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy would be led by you, Ouyang Xiaoling." A loud voice rang out, and an old man flew out from Feijian Martial Arts Hall.

This old man had a tremendously strong aura, clearly a Peak of Yuan Wheel Realm expert.

Subsequently, several figures flew up and appeared behind the old man.

Many were elderly.

There were also young ones.

Either enveloped in Primordial Power or controlling four Spirit Imprints in projection fusion.

This was the strength of the Celestial Sword Sect!

In terms of top-tier combat power, Cangxing Martial Arts Academy is not weaker than the Celestial Sword Sect.

In terms of the number of disciples, Cangxing Martial Arts Academy does not have fewer than the Celestial Sword Sect either.

But in mid-tier strength, Cangxing Martial Arts Academy is much weaker than the Celestial Sword Sect.

Because, in Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, if disciples reach a certain age and cannot pass the assessment, they must leave the academy, and many are directly assigned to the imperial court or military for training.

The Celestial Sword Sect doesn't need to do this; once you join, unless you die or become useless, you can stay in the sect, with strong members valued for their prowess and weaker ones having their uses.

In fact, this is the general situation throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The academy supplies talent to imperial institutions.

Sects only need to consider themselves.

So, in this clash between Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and the Celestial Sword Sect, the sect may field many old experts at the Peak of Yuan Wheel Realm or Tier Four Spirit Masters, while Cangxing Martial Arts Academy has only young people!

"Wu Ying, do you think that training for decades longer makes you capable of suppressing me?" Ouyang Xiaoling snorted coldly and then refrained from further words, shouting, "Take this!"

As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Xiaoling's seven-colored ribbon swiftly wrapped around Wu Ying of the Celestial Sword Sect, at the Peak of Yuan Wheel Realm. The silver bell let out a ringing sound and flew out.

At the same time, four Spirit Imprints flew out from Ouyang Xiaoling's brow, emitting a flash of light.

Wu Ying immediately drew his sword, striking Ouyang Xiaoling's silver bell, splitting it, then swinging his sword to shatter the rays of Spirit Imprint light.

"They say the granddaughter of Ouyang Shang from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy has exceptional talent, but I see nothing special!"

Wu Ying sneered, stabbing his sword toward Ouyang Xiaoling.

Ouyang Xiaoling's seven-colored ribbon wrapped around Wu Ying's ankle, pulling him and causing his body to tilt in mid-air.

From Ouyang Xiaoling's Spirit Imprint, a huge fireball shot out toward Wu Ying!

"Boom!"

Wu Ying blocked it with his sword, but the fireball explosion left him covered in smoke.

Ye Chen watched the scene, estimating Ouyang Xiaoling's capability.

Though she hadn't fused her spirit with her martial skills, she was on the path of dual cultivation, combining the strengths of a martial artist with those of a spirit master, complementing each other.

However, Ouyang Xiaoling was only at the Elemental Wheel Realm First Layer, having recently become a Tier Four Spirit Master; she could stall Wu Ying but had little chance of winning quickly.

"Make your move!"

A loud shout erupted from the ranks of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Other members of the Celestial Sword Sect sprang into action.

The disciples of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy had long been prepared for battle, engaging in combat against the attackers of the Celestial Sword Sect.

"Swish!"

Sword Qi streaked toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen slashed with his sword, splitting the Sword Qi.

As the Sword Qi shattered, a Yuan Wheel Realm martial artist from the Celestial Sword Sect, amidst the chaos, had already approached Ye Chen.

This person's sinister expression carried a hint of excitement.

Earlier, the Celestial Sword Sect had pretended not to recognize Ye Chen, yet when the battle broke out, they immediately designated a Yuan Wheel Realm martial artist to assassinate Ye Chen.

The sword aimed at Ye Chen was consumed by roaring flames.

"Boom!"

The air exploded.

The waves of energy rolled.

The martial artist from the Celestial Sword Sect who had attacked Ye Chen, revealed an expression of disbelief.

One sword strike... missed!

Ye Chen, nowhere to be found!

"Die!"

At this moment, Ye Chen's voice rang out.

Just an instant ago, Ye Chen had utilized the Heaven-Ascending Step, already circling to his rear.

The top-grade Spiritual Sword pierced straight toward the back of the person's head.

A sword that transcends realms!

"Psh!"

The sword tip pierced through the person's open mouth.

Ye Chen's wrist twisted, the Sword Qi within the sword exploded, and a head directly blasted into a mist of blood!

On Ye Chen's side, having just killed a martial artist from the Celestial Sword Sect at the Elemental Wheel Realm, a group of Celestial Sword Sect martial artists at the same realm had rushed to attack Ye Chen.

"Boom!"

A ball of fire exploded near Ye Chen, blocking a martial artist from the Celestial Sword Sect.

The one who intervened was a disciple from the Star Martial System, using the technique of a Spirit Master.

The Star Martial System does not only have martial artists, it also has Spirit Masters.

Some Spirit Masters from the Star Spirit System also train in the Martial Dao.

Many talented individuals choose to cultivate both spirit and martial arts, albeit with some focus.

A group of disciples from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy initiated an approach toward Ye Chen, as everyone realized one thing: the people from the Celestial Sword Sect had clearly recognized Ye Chen, merely pretending not to know, and upon launching their attack, they all wanted to kill Ye Chen at the first opportunity.

Aside from the martial artists at the Elemental Wheel Realm and the Tier Four Spirit Masters.

The Feijian Martial Arts Hall also had a large contingent of martial artists at the Sea of Qi Realm and Tier Three Spirit Masters charging forth.

With Ye Chen's current strength, if he plunged into the battlefield of those at the Sea of Qi Realm and the Tier Three Spirit Masters, slaughtering them would be no problem.

Even facing martial artists at the Elemental Wheel Realm or Tier Four Spirit Masters, he could generally defeat them.

But he constantly remembered the purpose of his visit today.

Killing people from the Celestial Sword Sect was secondary.

The main objective was to bring back a specially configured poison by the Celestial Sword Sect.

Only by bringing back the poison could Fatty work on concocting the antidote.

Looking across the field.

The one most likely carrying such poison should be Wu Ying from the Celestial Sword Sect.

After confirming the target.

Ye Chen fiercely swung a sword, sending the opponent in front of him flying, stepping on the waves of energy, rushing toward Wu Ying.

"Don't come near!"

Ouyang Xiaoling shouted, her battle with Wu Ying remained indecisive; if Ye Chen approached the battle here, should Wu Ying become reckless and focus his attack on Ye Chen, Ouyang Xiaoling had no certainty she could protect Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen seemed as if he hadn't heard her.

The people from the Celestial Sword Sect saw Ye Chen intending to cooperate with Ouyang Xiaoling to kill Wu Ying, none of them intervened.

In their eyes, Ye Chen's approach meant only death.

"If you come here to die, I'll fulfill your wish, hahaha!"

Wu Ying laughed heartily.

Ye Chen took the initiative to approach, which Wu Ying wanted more than anything!

The sword in Wu Ying's hand instantly erupted with radiant light, slashing toward Ye Chen, without any reservation, wielding the power of the Peak Elemental Wheel Realm like layer upon layer of giant waves aiming to submerge everything, overwhelm!

Seeing this, Ouyang Xiaoling grew incredibly tense; she formed a hand seal with one hand, directing the Spirit Seal straight at Wu Ying's back, while her right hand, gripping a seven-colored silk ribbon, immediately tightened, attacking Wu Ying.

Under Wu Ying's overpowering force, the air grew heavy as if it was about to solidify.

Ye Chen felt immense pressure, his movements becoming slow.

He clamped down his teeth, Sword Qi and Qi Blood surged wildly into the cavities of his legs.

In an instant.

Ye Chen stepped seven times!

"Boom!"

Wu Ying's seemingly inevitable attack missed.

"Boom boom!"

The seven-colored silk ribbon and Spirit Seal from Ouyang Xiaoling struck Wu Ying's back simultaneously.

Wu Ying's body flew like a kite with a broken string; he initially intended to sacrifice his injury in exchange for killing Ye Chen, but ended up injured without Ye Chen in sight!

Suddenly, a feeling of extreme danger arose in Wu Ying's heart.

At this critical moment of life and death, despite being unable to stabilize himself, his power flickering, Wu Ying's survival instinct triggered all of his potential, instantly forming a shield of Primordial Power, enveloping him completely!

At this very instant.

The vanished Ye Chen appeared beside him.

The killing intent of the sword spread out, engulfing Wu Ying.

Under the influence of the killing sword intent, the Sword Intents of wild winds, thunder, blazing fire, dripping water, and Metal of the sun converged into Ye Chen's singular strike, descending with immense force!
