CHAPTER 326: CHAPTER 180: DUBHE MARTIAL ARTS COMPETITION, ONLINE LEVELING

Li Shulan’s expression was stiff, forcing a smile uglier than crying: "Ye Qianlong, you’re joking. We’re companions, how could we do such self-destructive things? If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave first."

After speaking, Li Shulan quickly pulled Wei Yong away, not daring to stay, fearing that Ye Qingzhou might act on a whim.

Ye Qingzhou placed his hand on his sword, secretly lamenting: "To think they wouldn’t act even now, truly patient."

Stroking the sword hilt, Ye Qingzhou was in no hurry to kill Wei Yong and Li Shulan. These so-called Martial Arts Masters of the Junshan Association had long lost their pioneering spirit, relying on their age to intimidate, nothing but dry bones in a grave.

Thus, they were the ones eager, for the further it went, the stronger Ye Qingzhou’s power would become, forming a crushing stance against them.

Time passes like the flow of a river, never ceasing, day or night.

Ye Qingzhou’s path of martial arts cultivation was the same. Having just comprehended the Five Qi Chaoyuan, he continued tirelessly climbing higher peaks.

At this moment, his thoughts were as clear as a mirror, inside and out transparent, illuminating his soul.

Whoo~

Swoosh~

On a thousand-meter-high steep cliff, the wind howled. Not to mention ordinary people, even professional level martial artists with slightly weaker cultivation would likely be blown skyward in an instant, vanishing without a trace.

Facing the great wind attacking from all directions, Ye Qingzhou stood straight-backed, quietly standing at the edge of the cliff, eyes closed, facing the wind.

His appearance was graceful and handsome, his gaze calm like still water, with only the occasional gleam in his eyes revealing a fearsome sharpness that startled onlookers.

No matter how the great wind roared in all directions, Ye Qingzhou’s figure remained as immovable as a mountain, as if rooted to the spot, steadily standing on the rock.

Suddenly, Ye Qingzhou’s body slightly moved, his bones emitted crackling sounds, and his muscles glowed faintly with a metallic sheen. His rattling iron bones and undying golden body forged an indestructible frame.

The howling wind on Ye Qingzhou’s body was nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing against a hill, unable to move him an inch.

Whoosh~

Ye Qingzhou exhaled a stream of white Qi force from his mouth, like an arrow piercing through the clouds, shooting out with a gust, creating a vacuum tunnel in the air for hundreds of meters in front.

This movement was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, swallowing ten thousand miles, roaring in every direction.

The Martial Arts True Qi surged within Ye Qingzhou’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians, like a great river flowing, rushing forward, or like a trickling stream, nourishing Ye Qingzhou’s muscles and fascia, significantly increasing the strength of his bones and muscles. After practicing "Fish-into-Dragon Transformation" for several months, his physique cultivation had grown immensely stronger than during the Sword Fighting Competition.

Clang~

A stroke of snow-white sword light flashed, like lightning and thunder, breaking through the air with a roar.

Ye Qingzhou, holding the Famous Sword Flying Frost, stepped on the swift wind, performing the Wind Force Mid-Tier Body Technique Soaring Step, practicing the "Crane Shadow Sword Technique."

The "Crane Shadow Sword Technique" was merely mid-tier swordsmanship. Its entry realm was Wind Sound and Crane Cry, the skilled realm was White Crane Spreads Wings, mastery level was Immortal Crane Dipping Water, and great success realm was Unrestrained Clouds and Wild Cranes.

The founder only developed this sword technique to the great success realm, and it was during a previous live stream that Ye Qingzhou himself deduced the perfect realm of Crying of the Crane in the Marshes.

Now, Ye Qingzhou was once again practicing this sword technique.

Every sword stroke set off an explosion of airflow.

Every sword stroke was swift as a fleeting light.

Clang~

In a moment of inspired intuition, Ye Qingzhou moved his left arm, and the Celestial Punishment Sword emitted a resonant hum.

The wind moved, the sword rose!

Ye Qingzhou’s nimble and agile figure appeared illustrious, wielding dual swords, the crisscrossing sword shadows truly resembled a celestial crane spreading its wings, soaring into the heavens.

Floating with the wind, unrestrained!

Clang~

As the sword moved, a gale arose, the elusive Sword Intent blossoming with beautiful yet dangerous brilliance.

With Ye Qingzhou’s practice, the power of the "Crane Shadow Sword Technique" grew increasingly substantial, already surpassing the scope of mid-tier martial techniques. The details of the technique, through Ye Qingzhou’s continuous deduction and refinement, had undergone a transformative change.

At this moment, Sword Qi crisscrossed, like a celestial crane soaring the sky, at times cleaving the long sky with a fierce wind, causing the air to explode, at times like a gentle breeze and fine rain, penetrating every crevice.

Switching freely between hard and soft.

Each move and stance was full of unique sword path trajectories, full of charm, able to easily cleave a boulder or chop down trees with just a casual strike.

Swoosh~

With a casual flick, Ye Qingzhou loosened his five fingers, and the Flying Frost Sword transformed into a white ribbon, slicing through the air with a piercing whistle, finally stabbing into a massive boulder like a guided missile.

In an instant, the martial arts true Qi attached to the sword blade lost its restraint, and the massive boulder, supported by violent force, exploded with a bang, causing countless shattered stones to fly and nearby trees to break apart.

"Ha~"

Ye Qingzhou exhaled and withdrew his force, the previously violent airflow quickly calming down, returning to the tranquility of winter.

At seventeen years old, Ye Qingzhou was technically still a green youth, but anyone who saw him likely wouldn’t dare to underestimate him.

Because Ye Qingzhou had already possessed formidable power, his essence, Qi, and spirit foundations had grown to an incredible realm.

"The ’Crane Shadow Sword Technique’ was originally at the mid-tier martial technique level, but now, after my refinement and simplification, as well as improvements in detail, it has entered the high-tier range, and is particularly suited for dual sword combat, possessing great advantages in speed and skill."
