“*Clang— Clang— Clang—*”

Under the attentive gazes of countless people, spear shadows and sword glows rapidly crossed each other. Sounds of metal clashing rang out as sparks of the fire flickered. Although it was only the opening moves, with their arm as a wager in ten moves, neither side had any intention of probing each other out. Instead, they went all out with the first move.

“*Rumble—*”

After Ye Zhong deflected Fu Yang’s attack, he infused the terrifying sword glows into the Kongming Sword in his hands once again. The cyan sword light flashed, and the sword glows was turning into a long arc of light. He held the sword with both hands and swung it down with all the strength he could muster.

“High-grade Spirit Vessel?”

Fu Yang also saw something and was instantly shocked. A grave look flashed in his eyes. He never imagined Ye Zhong getting his hand on a high-grade Spirit Vessel. It had to be known that the so-called high-grade Spirit Vessels were extremely difficult to find. Even within the Xingxiang Sect, there were only a few pieces, and all of them had fallen into the hands of some of the few most powerful Inner Disciples. But who would have thought that a mere Ye Zhong had a high-grade Spirit Vessel in his hands? What qualifications did he have!?

Fu Yang’s figure explosively retreated. The silver spear in his hand transformed into countless spear shadows that swept out.

“Overlapping Waves Spear!”

Countless spear shadows fluctuated, like myriad waves overlapping each other, Fu Yang’s attack was accompanied by an explosion, striking fiercely against Ye Zhong’s sword attack.

“Clang—*”

An extremely clear sound was heard, and Ye Zhong’s sword was deflected by Fu Yang’s move. In an instant, a terrifying wave of energy rippled through the air, and under the ground, where their attacks met, spiderweb-like cracks spread out, striking fear into the hearts of the onlookers.

This scene caused the expressions of Su Yu and the rest to change slightly. Fu Yang was worthy of being an Inner Disciple of the Xingxiang Sect, such skills were not something that Luo Long and Lu Fan could compare.

“Although you have a high-grade Spirit Vessel in your hand, what can you do? Your defeat is imminent, you will still lose! Today, just watch how I take your arm!” A cold smile appeared on Fu Yang’s face, with a shake of his arm, the silver spear in his hand was blooming with spear shadows, and a thousand-layered spear shadow gathered together, whistling towards Ye Zhong from all directions. Its power was several times more terrifying than the move from before.

Facing the whizzing sound of the spear, Ye Zhong’s expression turned cold. The seal on his left hand changed slightly, and a series of Shura Sword Seal began to superimpose rapidly on the sword.

As the days went by, Ye Zhong became more and more proficient in using the Shura Sword Seal as he gained a new understanding of its usage. Although the Shura Sword Seal was only a low-grade Spirit-rank Secret Art, it could be used to attack and defend. Its attack power was extremely astonishing.

As the Shura Sword Seal superimposed itself upon Ye Zhong’s, the Kongming Sword on Ye Zhong’s hands was flickering with terrifying sword light. The scene was not much weaker than the one that was taking place in Fu Yang’s momentum just now.

“Ye Zhong’s skills don’t seem to be weak either!”

Many knowledgeable people squinted their eyes, staring at the Shura Sword Seal that was superimposed on Ye Zhong’s sword, their expressions changed slightly. Ye Zhong’s strength was somewhat beyond their imaginations.

“*Whoosh—*”

As the Five-Layered Shura Sword Seals formed, the long sword in Ye Zhong’s hand swung out like a galaxy upside down. Myriad streaks of Sword Qi converged into a single blade, shooting towards the incoming spear shadows.

Cracks spread rapidly as Ye Zhong swept his sword across the ground.

“*Bang— Bang— Bang—*”

In the blink of an eye, the two attacks clashed with each other. The intensity of Ye Zhong’s attack after using the Shura Sword Seal was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person.

“*Rumble—*”

After the clash a moment later, the thousand-layered spear shadows were all turned into nothingness. When the spear shadows were broken, Fu Yang’s body slightly swayed as his body staggered backwards. His expression became incomparably unsightly at this moment! He hadn’t taken Ye Zhong so lightly, to begin with, but he still could not understand how a mere Ye Zhong could unleash such a swift and fierce attack!

In the next moment, Fu Yang slowly breathed in, he gripped the silver spear in his hands tightly. His face became incomparably pale.

“*Whizz— Whizz— Whizz—*”

As his face turned paler and paler, the silver spear in his hand began to tremble violently. Spear shadows gathered together crazily before finally transforming into a golden lotus that enveloped his body.

“This is…”

“To think that even this move…”

When the surrounding disciples of the Xingxiang Sect saw this scene, their expressions all changed slightly. It was obvious that they recognized the Spiritual Secret Art that Fu Yang was about to unleash.

An uproar broke out among the crowd, Fu Yang lifted his head abruptly. When his sinister gaze landed on Ye Zhong, there was an indescribable sense of mockery in his eyes. In the next moment, the spear in his hand shuddered, and the golden spear shadows had transformed into a golden lotus flower, shooting towards Ye Zhong, trying to suppress him!

“Golden Lotus Form — Splitting Wind Spear!”

The attack formed by the golden spear shadows instantly swept down. Then, an extremely fierce fluctuation swept out.

Fu Yang’s move contained an endless amount of sharp spear shadows, and only Ye Zhong, who was locked on, could sense the terrifying power contained within this move.

“Mid-grade Spirit-rank Secret Art? He was worthy of being an Inner Disciple of the Xingxiang Sect!”

Ye Zhong stared at the incoming golden lotus and a serious look appeared in his eyes. However, he did not have any intention of dodging. Instead, the seal on his left hand slowly changed as the Sixth Layer of the Shura Sword Seal slowly appeared on the Kongming Sword.

“Ye Zhong, I will take one of your arms today.”

Fu Yang’s eyes turned cold. In his eyes, Ye Zhong was already a dead man. As he shouted harshly, the silver spear in his hand remotely pressed the golden lotus flower with astonishing momentum.

“*Clank—*”

At the same time, the Sixth Layer of Shura Sword Seal faintly appeared on Ye Zhong’s sword. In that instant, the Sword Qi on the Kongming Sword became incomparably shocking. With a flash of Ye Zhong’s right arm, a sword glow about a hundred feet long flew across the sky as fast as a shooting star and struck heavily on the golden lotus flower.

“*Clank—*”

A clear ear-piercing sound rang out. Immediately, a strand of extremely violent energy shockwave suddenly erupted in the sky.

As the energy waves swept across the area, the surrounding disciples of the Xingxiang Sect quickly retreated. Expressions of disbelief surfaced on their faces.

One had to know that the Martial Arts experts at the Nine Layers of Body Tempering Realm didn’t have a shred of Spiritual Power within their body. Even if they were to activate the Spiritual Secret Art, it shouldn’t have this kind of momentum. Both Ye Zhong and Fu Yang had borrowed the power of their Spirit Vessels to unleash their Spiritual Secret Arts to such an astonishing degree. But even so, this was already an earth-shattering sight to behold!

No one would have thought that Ye Zhong could compete with the notorious Inner Disciple Fu Yang to such an extent!

Just as everyone was astonished and their eyes were twitching, their gazes were fixated on the location of the collision without blinking. One must know that the Spiritual Secret Art that Fu Yang was using was one of the few Spirit-rank Secret Arts that could be found on the Third Floor of the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall. Now that he was able to use it with his strength, it was naturally extraordinary. However, Ye Zhong was not weak either. The sword imprint that enveloped his swords was beyond profound. But they couldn’t be certain whether or not he could block Fu Yang’s attack!

If one of them couldn’t withstand the other party’s attack this time, the outcome of the battle would be decided in less than ten moves!

“*Swish— Swish— Swish—*”

Everyone’s eyes were focused right on the centre of the golden lotus where the astonishing sword glow landed. Two equally sharp auras were clashing crazily with each other at this moment.

“Who will win in the end?”

“What exactly is the Spiritual Secret Art that Ye Zhong is cultivating? Can it resist Fu Yang’s Splitting Wind Art – Golden Lotus?”

“Senior Sister Su Yu…” At that moment, not only the other disciples of the Xingxiang Sect, even Hao Feng couldn’t help but cast a glance at Su Yu. Su Yu could be said to be the person who understood Ye Zhong the best. Hao Feng and the others didn’t want to see a teammate that Ling Yue had recruited lose at the hands of Fu Yang who had suddenly appeared. Thus, they were all waiting for Su Yu’s answer.

“Don’t worry, maybe even I might not be his opponent, he’s not easy to deal with. You all should know that back then, the Hollow Prince, Mo Fanlong, and other people all suffered a huge loss under his hands, while Mo Fanlong even lost his life!” Su Yu said indifferently.

Hearing this, Hao Feng sucked in a breath of cold air. Even Lu Bing, who had an ice-cold expression, slightly shifted her gaze. They had naturally heard of the fame of Four Grand Princes of the Lei Tian Dynasty. Although the Hollow Prince was only at the bottom among them, he was not easy to deal with. As for the famous Mo Fanlong, which disciple of the Xingxiang Sect hadn’t heard of him before? The genius who had rejected the invitation from the Xingxiang Sect had perished in Ye Zhong’s hands? Previously, many people had taken this as a joke!

In the mid-air, the two attacks clashed crazily. After an unknown time, cracks suddenly appeared on Ye Zhong’s sword glow.

“*Crack— Crack—*”

As the crack extended, the huge sword glow shattered crazily. Finally, it directly turned into specks of light and then disappeared in thin air.

“Is it over?”

Witnessing this scene, many people sighed in their hearts. Ye Zhong was a rising star, but to think that he would lose to Fu Yang! However, it was not bad for a mere newcomer to force Fu Yang to such an extent!

At this moment, a smile appeared in Fu Yang’s eyes as he looked at the shattered sword glow. After which, he pointed the spear in his hand and the golden lotus instantly pressed down once again!

“*Rumble—*”

The golden lotus flower whirled towards Ye Zhong. However, his smile froze before he could finish, his pupils contracted abruptly!

“*Rumble—*”

From within the crumbling sword glow, a figure suddenly flashed out. His right hand formed a fist, the Six-Layered Shura Sword Seal overlapped each other on top of his palm, emitting a soul-stirring fluctuation.
