Supreme Sword God

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Fool, You’re Getting Played!

Yu Chengguang saw Ye Chen agree, and sneered: ”If you defeat me, not only will you get my storage ring, but this sword will also be yours.”

Saying that, Yu Chengguang stretched out his right hand, and a longsword flew out from his storage ring.

The sword was more than three feet long and three fingers wide, exuding an aura of antiquity.

”This is a top-grade spiritual sword, worth three million taels of silver.” Yu Chengguang said proudly.

He came from a prestigious family, and naturally, there were better weapons available in his family. However, if one hasn’t reached the corresponding realm, even the most powerful weapons can’t be used. A top-grade spiritual sword was already quite good.

Not everyone is Hua Qianxue.

At the Peak of the Sea of Qi, being able to wield a Dao Sword, there is only one Hua Qianxue in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Last night, Ye Chen used Hua Qianxue’s Dao Sword, but in reality, he was just a medium. The one truly activating the power of the Dao Sword was Luo Qingyi inside the Sword Tomb.

Ye Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

A top-grade spiritual sword, what a treasure!

The sword in his hand was still his third uncle Ye Zhenming’s, barely considered a low-grade spirit sword.

The bundle of weapons strapped behind his back, the strongest being Bai Feng’s spear, was thought to be a top-grade spiritual artifact by Ye Chen previously, however, upon inquiring Hua Qianxue on the way, it was actually only a top-grade spiritual artifact.

”A country bumpkin who’s never seen the world.” Yu Chengguang sneered with disdain at Ye Chen’s reaction upon hearing about the top-grade spiritual sword, and continued, ”If you lose, you’ll kneel and apologize. From now on, every time you see me in Unrivaled County, you’ll kneel!”

Ye Chen snorted coldly: ”Fine, stop the nonsense, let’s begin already!”

Being called a country bumpkin, Ye Chen actually didn’t mind much; coming from Qingyun City, what’s wrong with being a country bumpkin?

This country bumpkin is about to get a storage ring and a top-grade spiritual sword!

Let’s see if you, Yu Chengguang, will cry later!

Hua Qianxue glanced at Granny Rong beside her.

Understanding Hua Qianxue’s meaning, Granny Rong stepped forward and said: ”Young Master Yu, allow me to seal your cultivation.”

Yu Chengguang replied, ”Thank you, Granny Rong.”

Granny Rong immediately formed a seal with one hand and pressed it on Yu Chengguang’s chest.

Yu Chengguang’s aura plummeted instantly.

Granny Rong retreated back to Hua Qianxue’s side.

Clutching his top-grade spiritual sword, Yu Chengguang glared at Ye Chen, saying: ”Now, I can only exert the power of Gathering Yuan Realm Tenth Layer, but don’t think you can defeat me. I will show you just how vast the gap is between similar cultivation levels; in front of me, you’re nothing but a pitiful insect!”

Ye Chen shouted coldly, and then bellowed: ”Watch the sword!”

As soon as the words fell, he abruptly thrust the sword out.

The murderous sword intent burst forth, the icy sword light evolving into the scene of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea.

Yu Chengguang casually swung a sword, with blazing fire accompanying the swing.

He also mastered the Blazing Fire Sword Intent.

The heat of the flames suppressed Ye Chen’s murderous sword intent, with the flames consuming the scene of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea, then Yu Chengguang slightly lifted his wrist, changing the sword move, and consecutively three bursts of fire light bloomed in the air.

”Three Suns Convergence!”

Yu Chengguang lightly exclaimed, and the three bursts of fire light in the air descended upon Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and blocked with his sword in front of him.

”Boom boom boom!”

The three bursts of fire light struck one side of his sword, erupting with rumbles, pushing Ye Chen back more than ten meters.

Yu Chengguang laughed loudly, ”I only used seventy percent of my strength, yet you can’t even handle my move. It seems Elder Yang misjudged by picking such trash as you.”

Ye Chen’s expression was grave, teeth clenched, ”Yu Chengguang, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated, I’ll fight you to the end!”

With a violent shout, Ye Chen charged at Yu Chengguang once more.

Observing, Hua Qianxue initially frowned.

She knew Ye Chen’s strength very well, just now, Ye Chen definitely hadn’t unleashed even half of his capability.

What’s this kid up to?

Hiding his trump card?

Suddenly, a subtle arc flashed across Hua Qianxue’s lips, she seemed to understand what Ye Chen was planning to do.

Then let’s enjoy the show!

Standing beside Hua Qianxue, Granny Rong felt somewhat uneasy in her heart.

It seemed her young lady was paying too much attention to Ye Chen.

That isn’t good!

In the arena, Ye Chen was entangled with Yu Chengguang again, fighting with great difficulty, being heavily suppressed by Yu Chengguang.

Yu Chengguang was feeling frustrated, even though he had suppressed Ye Chen, every time it seemed he was about to completely crush Ye Chen, Ye Chen would somehow miraculously escape danger.

Earlier, Yu Chengguang boasted of defeating Ye Chen in one move, yet now, after dozens of moves, he still hadn’t succeeded.

Suddenly, Yu Chengguang discovered an opportunity, abruptly thrusting his sword towards Ye Chen’s left flank.

The fire formed a straight line, advancing with unstoppable momentum.

At the critical moment, Ye Chen once again narrowly avoided Yu Chengguang’s strike, then bellowed: ”A Sword Across Worlds!”

The icy murderous intent surged instantly.

The freezing silence enveloped Yu Chengguang, completely suppressing his Blazing Fire Sword Intent!

”Swish!”

Ye Chen’s sword tip pierced directly at Yu Chengguang’s throat, breaking the skin before it stopped.

Yu Chengguang’s eyes were wide open, his face extremely pale; cold sweat instantly soaked his entire body. He stood there, not daring to move a muscle, fearing Ye Chen’s sword might completely pierce his throat.

Ye Chen gasped heavily, appearing utterly exhausted, yet a smile crept onto his face as he said, ”I won!”

He sheathed his sword.

Ye Chen extended his hand and said, ”The Storage Ring, and this sword, hand them over!”

Still immersed in the fear of a close call, Yu Chengguang was snapped back to reality by Hua Qianxue’s cold snort, ”Admit defeat if you lose, Yu Chengguang, you wouldn’t be a sore loser, right?”

Yu Chengguang came to his senses, biting his lip, ”Qianxue, it’s just a mere Storage Ring and a Top-grade Spiritual Sword, I don’t care at all.”

Saying this, Yu Chengguang tossed the sword to Ye Chen and then added, ”There are many things in my Storage Ring. Once we reach Unparalleled County, I’ll empty it out and give it to you!”

Though he spoke casually, Yu Chengguang’s heart bled.

The Storage Ring and the Top-grade Spiritual Sword were already very valuable to him!

Even though his Yu family was large and wealthy, with many members, even as a genius, he couldn’t casually ask for resources.

Ye Chen said, ”You won’t renege on your debt, will you?”

Yu Chengguang was so furious that he almost spat blood, ”I, Yu Chengguang, an upstanding man of seven feet, my word is my bond!”

”Actually, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome. How about we make another wager? If I win, everything in your Storage Ring belongs to me. If I lose, I’ll return both the Storage Ring and the sword to you. How about it?” Ye Chen suggested, with a greedy expression, like a gambler who had just won and felt the rush.

Another gamble?

Yu Chengguang hesitated!

Earlier, he had been careless and lost to Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen clearly had skills. What if he lost again...

Ye Chen said, ”How about this, I won’t bully you; you can use the strength of the True Essence Realm Third Layer, how about it?”

Yu Chengguang’s face was full of shame and anger!

A boy from a remote backwater place in the Gathering Yuan Realm Tenth Layer, claiming not to bully him?! Asking him to use the strength of the True Essence Realm Third Layer to fight?

This was the greatest insult to a genius!

Seeing Yu Chengguang still not agreeing, Ye Chen said with some difficulty, ”Well then... let’s say the True Essence Realm Fourth Layer, no higher.”

”No need!”

Yu Chengguang roared angrily, looking toward Granny Rong, ”Granny Rong, please help me seal my cultivation at the True Essence Realm Third Layer!”

Ye Chen is too much!

He must make him understand that the number one prodigy of Unparalleled County is not just a name!

Unleashing the power of the True Essence Realm Third Layer, if he still couldn’t defeat Ye Chen, he might as well find a piece of tofu and smash himself to death!

Granny Rong stepped forward to help Yu Chengguang release his sealed cultivation to the True Essence Realm Third Layer level.

Yu Chengguang’s teeth ground together audibly, he raised his hand, and another sword flew out from his Storage Ring, landing in his palm.

It was noticeably inferior to the earlier one.

However, Ye Chen didn’t mind.

He could sell it later for a fair amount of silver!

As for the Top-grade Spiritual Sword he’d just won, Ye Chen didn’t plan to use it.

Even with Luo Qingyi’s help to suppress the Sword Spirit, being unfamiliar with the sword was less preferable than using his own.

”Ye Chen, your appetite is too big. Wanting everything in my Storage Ring, you’re simply dreaming, a fool talking in sleep!”

With a roar, Yu Chengguang once again executed the move of ”Three Suns Rising Embrace.”

The power was several times stronger than before.

Three balls of fire thundered toward Ye Chen.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, and his sword slashed diagonally upward.

Wind and Cloud Sword, Wind Rises!

A fierce gale accompanied the sword’s edge sweeping forth.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The three balls of fire were directly torn apart by Ye Chen’s sword.

The biting Sword Qi struck Yu Chengguang’s chest.

Yu Chengguang let out a miserable cry, flying backward more than ten meters. Then, with a ”wa” sound, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

If it weren’t for the protective inner armor, the outcome... Yu Chengguang couldn’t dare to think!

Earlier, he used only the Gathering Yuan Realm Tenth Layer’s power against Ye Chen, costing Ye Chen much effort to win by a fluke...

But this time, despite using the True Essence Realm Third Layer’s power, he was defeated by Ye Chen in one move...

Seeing Ye Chen appearing relaxed, Yu Chengguang finally understood he was tricked!

”Ye Chen, you cheated!” Yu Chengguang roared with sorrow and indignation!

Ye Chen had already walked up to Yu Chengguang, a simple smile on his face, ”Admit defeat if you lose, hand over the Storage Ring!”

From the very first meeting, Ye Chen hadn’t provoked or offended him.

But this guy, overwhelmed with superiority, kept sneering constantly!

If he didn’t take advantage of him, then who would?!

Hua Qianxue, acting as the ”accomplice,” was having a hard time holding back her laughter, trembling as she stifled it!

Granny Rong frowned even more deeply, observing that her young lady had changed!
