Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 156: Chapter 157: Surprise!

Ye Qingchen slowly turned around and walked off the stage, but before leaving, he paused in his steps, quietly looked at Lu Changsheng, and said coldly: ”This sword was just a lesson. If there is a next time, it will be your head.”

As his words fell.

The stunned crowd immediately snapped back to their senses, and countless disdainful glances were directly cast at Lu Changsheng.

”Is this the Lu Changsheng of the Shifang Sword Sect? This is too shameless!”

”Yeah, he looks quite impressive, yet he ignored the qualifications for the Sword Fighting Conference. After being knocked off the stage, instead of stopping, he actually launched a sneak attack? It’s utterly despicable!”

”How did this kind of person get the Sword Fighting Token? What right does he have to participate in the Sword Fighting Conference?”

Listening to Ye Qingchen’s words and the discussions around him, Lu Changsheng was utterly furious. His face turned from green to white, from white to red, and from red to black, finally spitting out a mouthful of blood and fainting on the spot.

Until now.

Ye Qingchen had already achieved four consecutive victories.

But this did not mean the end.

Because anyone who can achieve four consecutive victories in the Sword Fighting Conference is an extremely strong presence, and the difficulty increases the further you go.

For example, after four consecutive victories, next, you will face an opponent who also has four consecutive victories. After five consecutive victories, you will face an opponent with the same five consecutive victories.

In the seventh match.

Even Wind Dance was eliminated.

Although her strength was not lacking, she encountered a more powerful attacker, Gu Xunhong, whose attacks crushed all her offensives to nothing, ultimately eliminating her. Gu Xunhong, who defeated her, achieved seven consecutive victories and successfully entered the next round.

This match made many people feel regret.

Until this moment.

In the Sword Fighting Conference, only four people were left not yet eliminated:

Shen Ming, Gu Xunhong, Master Tianxiong, and Ye Qingchen!

These four clearly became the top four of this Sword Fighting Conference.

When they saw that Ye Qingchen was still standing on the stage, many people were surprised.

Because.

No one could have imagined that Ye Qingchen would make it to the top four.

”Hmph, this kid is really lucky to have avoided so many strong opponents! If I had his luck, I could have made it to the top four too!”

Some early eliminated disciples spoke with intense jealousy.

”However, he stops here!”

Many people candidly said.

Because, among the top four, the other three were all hot favorites of this conference, all of whom were long-established strong opponents.

Finally.

The eighth match began!

And Ye Qingchen’s opponent this round was none other than Gu Xunhong from Yun Kun Country.

However.

Regarding this match, there wasn’t much suspense in everyone’s eyes.

Some even urged to quickly finish it, as they wanted to watch the other battle between Shen Ming and Master Tianxiong.

”Elder Qin, is this Gu Xunhong strong?”

Ye Qing asked.

”More than just strong!” Qin Wentian sighed deeply, ”This one is the first on the Bronze Battle List of Yun Kun Country, a figure as renowned as Master Tianxiong and Shen Ming. In Yun Kun Country, he sweeps all peers, having almost no rivals!”

”It is said that he has even mastered one hundred and eight Earth Sword Intents!”

”Ah...does that mean my brother can’t defeat him?” Ye Qing covered her small mouth, exclaiming.

”Too difficult! Too difficult! Too difficult!”

Qin Wentian said three ’too difficult’ in succession.

Although.

Ye Qingchen was his disciple, he didn’t hold much hope for this battle.

Even though Ye Qingchen had performed stunningly so far, Gu Xunhong was even stronger.

On the stage.

Ye Qingchen and Gu Xunhong stood facing each other.

Amidst the urging voices around him, Gu Xunhong slightly raised his eyes, glancing at Ye Qingchen, ”I didn’t expect you to make it this far. However, this is the end of the road!”

Ye Qingchen nodded, looking at Gu Xunhong, ”Is that so? Then make your move!”

”I make the first move?” Gu Xunhong chuckled lightly, ”I hope you can take three of my moves!”

Boom!

As his words fell.

The mighty True Qi inside Gu Xunhong showed no restraint, sweeping out directly, soaring to the sky, forming instantly a gigantic True Qi Flame towering seventeen or eighteen meters high!

Simultaneously, with a ’swoosh,’ Gu Xunhong drew a golden long sword from his hand.

Even a lion uses full strength to hunt a rabbit!

Regardless of whether Ye Qingchen was fortunate or reached the semifinals through his strength, Gu Xunhong didn’t hold back at all. He slammed his foot down sharply, the sword in his hand delivering a fierce slash.

Majestically.

A mighty sword light, over ten zhang long, aggressively slashed towards Ye Qingchen.

This sword even tore through the air. The swirling sword light stirred up endless dust, carving a terrifying sword mark on the ground, a mark as wide as a finger and nearly a hundred meters long.

Stretching all the way from Gu Xunhong’s front to beneath Ye Qingchen’s feet!

”It’s begun!”

”This is the Profound Grade Top Earth-Splitting Sword Technique!”

”So powerful...”

Seeing the power of Gu Xunhong’s sword, everyone around burst into exclamations. At the same time, they all looked towards Ye Qingchen, eager to see how he would fend off this sword!

However.

When everyone looked over, they couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Ye Qingchen still stood there, unmoving.

”Has this kid been scared stiff?”

While this thought flashed through everyone’s mind, when everyone thought Ye Qingchen had given up, he moved!

Boom!

Ye Qingchen grabbed with his big hand, and in an instant, the void trembled, infinite fierce winds rolled in, forming paths of flying swords appearing around Ye Qingchen!

Each of these flying swords measured three feet seven inches, purely condensed from fierce winds, crystalline and transparent, with their blades gleaming coldly.

Totaling thirteen hundred!

”Go!”

Ye Qingchen stepped forward, waving his hand.

This multitude of flying swords, like ten thousand swords becoming one, converged together, joining head to tail, and simultaneously, like a surging angry river, swept towards Gu Xunhong.

In the eyes of outsiders.

The attacks from both sides were like two raging dragons, crossing hundreds of meters in an instant, fiercely colliding with each other.

Boom!

In their clash.

The sword light from Gu Xunhong suddenly grew brighter, emitting a dragon’s roar, as if a furious dragon with a blood-red mouth, trying to swallow Ye Qingchen’s flying swords whole!

Under the control of the Wind Sword Intent, the flying swords burst with endless intense sword cries, even drowning out the dragon’s roar.

Even.

In the end, those flying swords scattered across the sky, completely tearing apart the opponent’s sword light in this duel, and furiously pushed back Gu Xunhong at the same time!

Moreover!

The impact directly knocked Gu Xunhong off balance, sending him flying several dozen meters away!

What?

At this moment.

Everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

They couldn’t believe it.

The Ye Qingchen, whom they didn’t fancy, had actually, in just one move, pushed back Gu Xunhong!
