Chapter 26

"Alright, let's do this!" Dongfang Bai nodded and swiftly leaped onto the stage.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two of them. This might be the most significant match in the inner disciples' competition. Whoever won would be the champion of the inner disciples. Each inner disciples' competition was the most watched event. Although there were still matches between the outer disciples afterward, the overall strength of the outer disciples was far inferior to that of the inner disciples. After watching the inner disciples' matches, few people were willing to watch the outer disciples' matches. Most of the elders and hall masters who were watching from the stage would leave, leaving only a few elders in charge of the outer disciples' affairs. It was always like this.

"I won't hold back then!" Dongfang Bai swirled his long sword, creating a sword flower, and pointed it at Ye Xiwén, saying, "Draw your blade!"

Dongfang Bai was famous among the inner disciples for his sword techniques, and his cultivation was also remarkable, reaching the peak of the Seventh Level of the Later Heaven stage, just a step away from the Eighth Level.

This generation of the top five inner disciples could be considered one of the most powerful. According to the rules of the Yiyuan Sect, reaching the Fifth Level of the Later Heaven stage qualified one to become a core disciple. The Seventh Level was not weak among core disciples, the Eighth Level was a strong core disciple, and the Ninth Level was an absolute top-tier core disciple.

Finally, Ye Xiwén drew his long saber. The surrounding disciples all widened their eyes. This was the second time Ye Xiwén had drawn his saber in front of them. The first time, he was completely outmatched by the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, Wang Jian, who was at the Innate stage. Now, perhaps they could truly see his full strength. Previously, he had defeated people with his palm techniques.

"Be careful!" Dongfang Bai shouted, and his long sword swirled, creating a sharp sword light that instantly stabbed toward Ye Xiwén. The speed was extremely fast, and the sky was filled with sword light. However, only one of them was the true killing move, hidden among the sword light.

Ye Xiwén slashed with his saber, the Crescent Moon Slash, a straightforward and powerful strike that directly pierced through the killing move, heading straight for it.

"Boom!" Ye Xiwén's saber deflected Dongfang Bai's sword tip, the immense force causing the air to crackle.

The two moved with incredible speed. Dongfang Bai's sword technique was known for its agility, speed being the key, while Ye Xiwén's Cold Moon Slash was also extremely fast. Otherwise, how could he have created nine saber shadows with one strike? Moreover, Ye Xiwén had incorporated some of the profound principles of the Thunder Hand into his saber technique, making his saber technique reach the pinnacle of speed.

As their weapons clashed, the spectators below finally saw their movements.

On the other side, Zhang Xiang, one of the top five inner disciples, watched the two combatants with a grim expression. He had fought Ye Xiwén before and originally thought Ye Xiwén had used his full strength, but now he realized that was not the case. Clearly, his saber technique was even more formidable than his palm techniques. This was his true strength.

Dongfang Bai, at the peak of the Seventh Level of the Later Heaven stage, possessed immense strength, almost reaching the power of twenty fierce tigers. Although he specialized in speed, a single strike from his sword could send most Seventh Level experts flying.

However, although Ye Xiwén was only at the peak of the Sixth Level of the Later Heaven stage, his strength was no less. His long saber did not hesitate, and the second strike followed immediately, as fast as lightning and as cold as the moon, not giving Dongfang Bai a chance to catch his breath. The Crescent Moon Slash had long been perfected by Ye Xiwén, and when he used it, it was seamless and flawless.

Dongfang Bai did not expect Ye Xiwén's strikes to be so fluid, his saber technique so refined. Clearly, although Dongfang Bai's realm was higher, his understanding of sword techniques was far inferior to Ye Xiwén's understanding of saber techniques.

How could a teenager understand to such a degree!

He would never know the secret of Ye Xiwén's special space!

However, at this moment, he had no time to think about the reasons. Ye Xiwén's long saber was already upon him.

Dongfang Bai had no choice but to thrust his sword, a powerful and heavy strike that broke through Ye Xiwén's saber. However, by breaking through this strike, the initiative in the battle shifted from Dongfang Bai to Ye Xiwén.

Ye Xiwén, taking advantage of the situation, swung his long saber like lightning, and three saber shadows instantly appeared in the sky, slashing toward Dongfang Bai.

Dongfang Bai could only defend passively, feeling extremely frustrated. If it were a typical Sixth Level peak martial artist, they would not even be able to block his three strikes. Even a typical Seventh Level peak expert, Dongfang Bai had confidence in defeating. But Ye Xiwén was a freak. In terms of speed, with various enhancements, he was no less than Dongfang Bai, and with the advanced technique of the Heavenly Immortal Step, Ye Xiwén was even faster. In terms of strength, Ye Xiwén was a monster, growing rapidly from drinking monkey wine, and his strength was no less than Dongfang Bai's. Even in terms of true qi, Ye Xiwén, who had been transformed by a mysterious light orb, was even more powerful than Dongfang Bai.

In every aspect, Ye Xiwén was not inferior to Dongfang Bai, and in many ways, he was even superior. As a result, from the beginning, Dongfang Bai was at a disadvantage, being pressed by Ye Xiwén.

Everyone was stunned. They all knew Ye Xiwén was strong, but they never expected him to be this strong.

Who was Dongfang Bai? The leader of the top five inner disciples, unmatched among this generation of inner disciples, with a record of never losing to core disciples. Now, he was being pressed by Ye Xiwén, which seemed like an incredible miracle to them.

The elders on the platform were also surprised by the two combatants, not because the level of their match was enough to surprise the elders at the Innate stage, but because Ye Xiwén was far beyond their expectations.

Dongfang Bai was a genius disciple they all favored. With his talent, he would soon rise among the core disciples and take over the positions of the current core disciples after they left. It was clear that they had high hopes for him.

But they never expected that after the match, he would be pressed by Ye Xiwén. Although he had not yet shown signs of defeat, if this continued, unless Ye Xiwén's true qi ran out, his defeat was inevitable.

This dark horse was too dark!

On the side, Ye Kongming watched Ye Xiwén's outstanding performance with a broad smile, finding nothing to criticize about his performance.

Dongfang Bai, of course, also knew that if this continued, his defeat was inevitable. Waiting for Ye Xiwén's true qi to run out? Impossible, given his rosy complexion, he clearly had more stamina.

He could only take a risky move!

Dongfang Bai let out a clear whistle and swung his sword, a silver sword light covering the sky, vast and majestic like a river falling from the heavens, a move to decide the outcome.

Ye Xiwén also let out a long whistle and slashed his saber, instantly creating nine saber shadows in the sky, and a crescent moon seemed to be split, fully showcasing the profound principles.

"Boom!" A terrifying wave of energy swept across the stage, and the massive stage was directly crushed.

The dust settled, and Dongfang Bai's clothes were somewhat torn, and he looked disheveled. Ye Xiwén held his long saber across his shoulder.

The winner was decided!

Champion...

Ye Xiwén!
