105: Chapter 105 Yuan Hua vs. Chen Zhiwen

The heavily injured Xu Tianqi struggled in pain, lifting his head, his gaze falling upon Duanmu Yang who stood before him.

Duanmu Yang stood there expressionless, his eyes cold and sharp like ice. He looked at Xu Tianqi coldly, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"You... you can't kill me..." Xu Tianqi finally squeezed these words out of his throat, his voice as weak as a candle in the wind.

Hearing this, Duanmu Yang only sneered and slowly raised his arm holding "green peck".

With his movement, a sharp chill emanated from this famous sword, like a piercing cold wind, instantly enveloping Xu Tianqi.

Xu Tianqi felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if tightly bound by an invisible force.

Seeing that the sharp sword in Duanmu Yang's hand was about to fall, Yuan Hua, not far away, could finally no longer restrain himself.

He cursed inwardly, and regardless of the strict orders of the Great Yu Dynasty, his figure flashed, appearing before Xu Tianqi like a bolt of lightning.

"Brat! How dare you!" Yuan Hua's eyes widened in anger, his voice low and majestic, carrying an irresistible power.

His eyes were like burning flames, staring fixedly at Duanmu Yang, as his Aura erupted like a volcanic eruption.

This pressure was like surging waves, rushing toward Duanmu Yang like a tide, as if to completely submerge and suppress him!

However, just as Yuan Hua was preparing to intervene, Chen Zhiwen appeared beside Duanmu Yang in an instant, like a ghost.

In fact, Chen Zhiwen was well aware of Yuan Hua's thoughts.

He knew well that Yuan Hua would never watch the Sect Master of the Xiantian Sword Sect die a miserable death before him.

Therefore, the moment Yuan Hua made a move, Chen Zhiwen had already prepared his response.

He raised his hand and waved his wide sleeve like a whirlwind; the pressure that had been like an overwhelming sea just a second ago instantly dissipated silently, like a punctured balloon.

Seeing this, Yuan Hua's pupils constricted suddenly. His gaze was as cold as ice as he stared at Chen Zhiwen and said sharply, "Fifth Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, you had better not go too far!"

"This does no good for you or anyone else," Yuan Hua continued, his tone stern but also carrying a hint of warning.

"In this old man's opinion, the Xiantian Sword Sect has already lost so many experts today, which can be considered an explanation to the Cangling Sword Manor that was exterminated back then."

"Why not spare Xu Tianqi's life? This old man can bear witness for you here that the people of the Xiantian Sword Sect will never trouble Duanmu Yang again in the future."

Yuan Hua looked at Chen Zhiwen and said slowly, "What do you think of this?"

Chen Zhiwen remained silent, only slightly turning his head to look at Duanmu Yang out of the corner of his eye, seemingly leaving this difficult choice to Duanmu Yang.

Seeing this, a disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of Duanmu Yang's mouth. He stared at Yuan Hua expressionlessly, his eyes full of mockery and contempt.

"Yuan Hua, oh Yuan Hua, you are truly calculating!" Duanmu Yang's voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm. "You actually attempt to use the lives of those few Elders of the Xiantian Sword Sect to settle the blood feud of my Cangling Sword Manor?"

His words were like sharp arrows, piercing straight at Yuan Hua, making Yuan Hua's face instantly turn extremely ugly.

"Simply absurd!" Duanmu Yang suddenly raised his voice. "I'll make it clear to you right here: as long as I, Zhou Qi, am alive, I will never let this rest! This struggle between me and the Xiantian Sword Sect will surely be a situation of death and no end!"

Hearing Duanmu Yang's resolute words, Yuan Hua's face became even more somber, as if covered by a layer of frost.

A thick killing intent emanated from his body, like a physical force, tightly enveloping the entire square and making people feel suffocated.

"So, there is no room for compromise?"

"Correct!"

Yuan Hua suddenly sneered, then looked up at Zheng Chen and the three Mighty Ones of the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Everyone, before I joined the Great Yu Dynasty, I was once the Sect Master of the Xiantian Sword Sect."

"Today, the Xiantian Sword Sect suffers this calamity; it is truly impossible for me to stand by and watch."

"Your Highness the First Prince, I will definitely take Duanmu Yang's life today. Even if the Imperial Sovereign punishes me in the future, I will accept it."

Zheng Chen smiled faintly. "Lord Yuan, do as you please."

"The other three lords and I will not interfere in this matter."

After receiving Zheng Chen's definite answer, the last of Yuan Hua's concerns finally vanished.

His gaze became sharp and fierce, like a hungry falcon, staring fixedly at Chen Zhiwen as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

Yuan Hua's hands suddenly pinched hand seals at an amazing speed, and five dazzling rays of light shot out from his sleeves as fast as lightning.

These five rays of light spun rapidly in the air, finally converging into five sharp swords flashing with various colors of light.

Although the quality of these five sharp swords could not be compared to "green peck", they were all extremely rare Magical Artifacts.

Their shapes were different, and each emitted a unique Aura, showing their different attributes.

The Five Elements Sword Intent that Yuan Hua had comprehended perfectly combined with these five sharp swords, making his strength go up a level.

Under his control, these five swords were like an extension of his arms, their power greatly increased. The power displayed by any single sword was enough to rival the full-strength strike of an ordinary Peak Grandmaster.

What was even more amazing was that Yuan Hua could actually activate these five swords simultaneously and integrate the Five Elements Sword Intent into them, further enhancing their power.

As a result, his combat power had reached an extremely terrifying level.

In the entire Huang Province, there were probably very few Peak Grandmaster powerhouses who could contend with Yuan Hua besides those from the Zetian Sect, perhaps not even in the double digits.

It was precisely because Yuan Hua possessed such powerful strength that he was able to firmly hold the position of the number one expert in the Great Yu court and completely disregard Zheng Chen.

In Yuan Hua's eyes, although Zheng Chen was exceptionally talented and could be called a Prodigy, he was still young after all, and his future path was still long.

Whether he could become a world-renowned existence like that Great Grandmaster in the Great Yu Dynasty remained an unknown.

However, Yuan Hua himself was completely different from Zheng Chen.

He had invested hundreds of years of time and energy into the research of the Five Elements Sword Intent, and was only one step away from comprehending his own Sword Domain and peering into the mysteries of the Extreme Dao.

Once Yuan Hua successfully crossed this threshold, he would surely become a Grandmaster of the Sword Dao who shook the Huang Province, receiving the respect and worship of countless people.

By then, he would completely break free from the shackles of the Great Yu Imperial Family and would no longer need to act according to those people's whims.

He could rely on his own strength and prestige to lead the Xiantian Sword Sect to a new peak alone, creating his own glorious chapter.

Back to reality, Yuan Hua's sudden move showed no restraint whatsoever.
