I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1768: Chapter 1768: Battlefield Without Valor (1/5)

During these days of cultivation, Ye Qiubai had already broken through to the Fifth Level of Thunder Tribulation.

His Sword Dao realm had also progressed.

With the suppression of sword cultivators within the Sword Domain, combined with the swords in the Aged Golden Sword Case being enhanced by Lu Changsheng to an incredible degree, it was only now that he could so easily withstand this torrential downpour of swords.

However, the opposing side had too many Monarch God Realm experts.

On the city walls, the number of soldiers capable of contending against them was far too few.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was immense. To rely solely on the Sword Domain to defeat the enemy was nearly impossible.

The priority now was to find a way to endure for seven days.

Still—

The commotion caused by Ye Qiubai using the Sword Domain to resist the torrent of swords was simply too large.

Even those participating in the test from surrounding independent spaces noticed, and couldn’t help but feel astonished.

”This kind of Domain Skill... Could it also be derived from the inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master?” a direct lineage member of the Xuanyuan Clan frowned and said.

”That’s the only possibility. How could someone possibly develop a Domain capable of suppressing sword cultivators entirely on their own?”

”No, that might actually be possible,” another direct lineage member of the Xuanyuan Clan retorted, clearly not foolish. Xuanyuan Ling sternly replied, ”Haven’t you noticed?

His realm isn’t merely at the Fifth Level of Thunder Tribulation. Although Che-ge broke through to the Sixth Level of Thunder Tribulation recently, this fellow’s talent hardly seems lesser by much.

Moreover... the Sword Dao Rules Realm—earlier, I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but I didn’t expect there really would be someone who could reach such a realm of Sword Dao at this age.

Even the Clan Leader isn’t much beyond that, correct?”

Hearing Xuanyuan Ling’s words, the other direct lineage members were momentarily stunned, looking in Ye Qiubai’s direction with expressions of shock.

Suspended in midair, one man, one sword, his blood-soaked white robe fluttering wildly. Threads of sharp sword intent surged skyward like a storm as he stood resolutely against the immense sword rain without retreating even half a step.

Xuanyuan Che, hearing the conversation between the others, also nodded. It seemed the Xuanyuan Clan’s other direct lineage members weren’t all brainless.

There was still hope.

At the same time, the opposing soldiers naturally noticed Ye Qiubai as well.

If they didn’t suppress Ye Qiubai, their army would suffer countless losses attempting to breach the city wall!

It would slow their advance considerably!

”Monarch God Realm experts, follow me to crush him!” the enemy’s commander roared furiously, flicking his longsword and charging toward Ye Qiubai!

Behind him, twelve other Monarch God Realm experts transformed into streaks of sword light and followed closely.

On the city wall, seven Monarch God Realm experts who still had some residual strength immediately gathered beside Ye Qiubai upon seeing this.

”City Lord, we will hold off seven of them for you, but the rest is up to you.”

Once they spoke, these seven Monarch God Realm experts immediately rushed to intercept the seven enemies!

Ye Qiubai nodded, his gaze steadfastly fixed on the four beams of sword light charging directly toward him. With a slight movement of his mind, the nine swords that had been defending against the sword rain returned to his side.

His hand relaxed slightly around the Yuncang Sword, which now floated freely under the manipulation of the Aged Golden Sword Case, swirling around him.

”Hmm? You’ve put your swords down—what’s this? Planning to surrender?” The enemy commander in the Late Stage of Monarch God Realm sneered coldly, having already arrived before Ye Qiubai.

As his voice fell, the five Early Stage Monarch God Realm experts around him wore similarly sinister smirks, staring down at Ye Qiubai.

”Five Early Stage Monarch God Realm experts, one Late Stage Monarch God Realm expert...” Ye Qiubai exhaled deeply.

This was his first tough battle since breaking through.

A battle that seemed nearly impossible from an outsider’s perspective!

The direct lineage members of the Xuanyuan Clan, and indeed other factions too, resorted to more advanced magic treasures for protection when brute force couldn’t prevail.

In the contest for the Sun and Moon Token, every faction was giving it their all, fully intent on obtaining it.

Thus, they weren’t stingy when selecting the grade of magic treasures for their participants.

Ye Qiubai, meanwhile, was not one of them...

Although he did possess these treasures, he would only use them as a last resort.

That said, the difference in both strength and numbers on the city wall was painfully pronounced.

If the enemy reached the bottom of the walls, Ye Qiubai would, of course, use Junior Brother Mu’s talismans and Junior Brother Fang’s array scrolls.

It was unavoidable.

He couldn’t possibly fend off six Monarch God Realm experts while simultaneously defending against the advancing army of tens of thousands!

”Talking about surrender is still too premature.” Ye Qiubai chuckled lightly.

The enemy commander sneered coldly, ”Oh? This is a battlefield. Do you think we care about the sword cultivator’s sense of honor, or the martial hero’s chivalry? Everyone—attack at once! Crush him as quickly as possible!”

With that, he led the charge toward Ye Qiubai!

The other five Monarch God Realm experts also slashed toward Ye Qiubai from all directions simultaneously.

They showed no signs of holding back.

Ye Qiubai’s brow furrowed as he let out a soft shout. The Sword Domain began to contract, its Sword Dao Power of Law becoming even more condensed. Countless streaks of sword qi transformed into gigantic swords, slashing at the approaching enemies.

Controlling the Sword Domain didn’t require too much of Ye Qiubai’s concentration.

His palm slapped the Aged Golden Sword Case.

Led by the Yuncang Sword, the other swords shot out with a cuttingly swift momentum, splitting through space faster than the eye could track. All of them aimed at the enemy commander.

The enemy commander snorted coldly, his body coming to a slight halt as he gripped his gigantic sword and swung it continuously.

The speed of the gigantic sword’s swings was far from slow. Around him, they formed an impenetrable sword net, blocking the full-force onslaught of Ye Qiubai’s swords.

Although the disparity in their realms was obvious—

Ye Qiubai’s Sword Dao realm utterly crushed the opponent’s.

With the Sword Domain augmenting his power, holding off a Late Stage Monarch God Realm sword cultivator for a set period was achievable.

But—

”You’ve used all your swords to fend off the commander; how do you plan to deal with our attacks?”

”Do you think you can block our strikes without a weapon’s aid?”

Two of them were notably faster, and in the blink of an eye, their swords were already positioned to strike Ye Qiubai from the left and right.

The sword winds were fierce, tearing Ye Qiubai’s blood-soaked white robe into countless tatters.

Ye Qiubai didn’t panic.

A single ancient, sheathed sword fell into Ye Qiubai’s hand.

The sight of this sword immediately drew sharp gazes from the five Monarch God Realm experts.

Even upon its mere appearance, they felt a deep sense of menace.

At the rear, the commander’s pupils shrank as he roared, ”Retreat!”

”Too late.”

Ye Qiubai replied indifferently.

Gripping the sword’s hilt, the muscles in Ye Qiubai’s arm began to ripple and surge. The Sword Dao Power of Law coiled around his arm like small serpents, entwining themselves tightly.

As the sword was drawn—

A slender streak of sword light swept forth horizontally.

The sword light seemed to swallow all surrounding brightness, becoming the single gleam within the darkness.

In an instant, it severed the waists of the two Monarch God Realm experts.

Their faces remained stunned, unable to register what had happened.

Before they could even react, their upper and lower halves had already split apart...

”You’re correct; this is a battlefield—no need to discuss the honor of swordsmen.” Ye Qiubai spoke lightly under the horrified gazes of all present. ”Who told you that those were the only swords I had?”
