471: exchange

"I'm coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure shot up from the ground of the Zhengyuan Continent, fiercely descending onto the battlefield.

Gaia: Perfect score!

Seeing the newcomer, the disciples below cheered.

"Great, Senior Brother Ye is making his move!"

"Rumor has it that Senior Brother Ye was born with a sword bone, and even before his seclusion, he was the second strongest disciple in the sect.

Now that he's out of seclusion, his strength is probably not inferior to Senior Brother's."

"Go, Senior Brother Ye!"

"Well done, Senior Brother Ye!"

"Kill that bastard!"

...Ye Tian's posture was tall and straight, his green robes gently fluttering in the air current.

His expression was calm, his gaze fixed on the challenger who had come to issue a challenge, "From where? Who are you? My sword, Ye, does not slay nameless ghosts."

The disciple of that Immortal Law Realm expert scoffed upon hearing this, "Anyway, you're going to lose later, why add so many lines for yourself? It's hard for you to go to such lengths."

"Alright, I'll tell you, listen carefully." With each word, the disdain in his tone grew heavier.

"The person who will defeat you, who will defeat all the disciples of your sect, is called—Tang Xin!"

Tang Xin!

The disciples of the Zhengyuan Sect had never heard of this name, but they couldn't be blamed.

Because these disciples basically only operated in the Xichen Domain, and might never travel to other domains in their entire lives.

However, in the Kongming Domain where Tang Xin and his peers resided, this name was practically a household name.

In the Kongming Domain, there were eight top-tier young talents, and among these eight, Tang Xin was the leader.

Therefore, people within the domain often referred to them collectively as Tang Xin's Eight Great...

Hearing Tang Xin's arrogant words, the disciples below were naturally filled with resentment, wishing they could rush up and tear him to pieces.

Ye Tian also sneered, "Then let's see what you've got with our own hands."

The moment Ye Tian's voice fell, he moved, and Tang Xin also moved.

"Die!"

Ye Tian's eyes glinted with cold light, holding a giant sword, he swiftly charged towards Tang Xin.

He was determined to gain the upper hand right from the start, bringing the opponent into his rhythm, and not giving him a chance to display his abilities.

"Tang Xin is finished, Senior Brother Ye is best at close-quarters combat."

"Once he gets close, he'll be taken down in one go; even Senior Brother doesn't dare to get close."

"It's a sure win."

The disciples below watched Tang Xin and couldn't help but sneer.

Of course, they wouldn't say these words out loud; at this moment, the scene was still filled only with cheers and shouts of encouragement.

In just an instant, Ye Tian had already arrived not far from Tang Xin, the distance between them already narrowed.

In his hand, the giant sword glittered with dazzling starlight, slashing fiercely towards Tang Xin.

"Starfall!"

Ye Tian didn't make a move until he did, and when he did, he used his strongest ultimate move.

He could feel that the opponent was definitely not an ordinary person, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.

The starlight on the giant sword was brilliant and dazzling, as if it had drawn upon the nine heavens' stars, enveloping the entire battlefield in starlight.

Wherever the sword's edge passed, space was already torn apart, and terrifying power frantically unleashed itself towards Tang Xin.

The disciples below held their breath, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation, as if they had already witnessed Tang Xin's demise under this sword strike.

Ye Tian's Starfall, they had only seen him use it in his exchanges with the Senior Brother over the years.

Tang Xin, however, maintained a calm expression, the disdain in his eyes unchanged, even growing a bit more intense.

He watched Ye Tian's sword technique rapidly approach, the starlight-infused sword energy howling, carrying terrifying power capable of destroying a star system.

But Tang Xin remained standing still, and behind him, three points of light slowly emerged.

Then, the three points of light each occupied a corner, forming an equilateral triangle.

They then began to rotate around the center, forming a ring.

Seeing this scene, both the disciples below the stage and Ye Tian on stage were terrified and pale.

Especially Ye Tian, who had thought he had already overestimated Tang Xin, but never expected to have still greatly underestimated him.

Ring of Laws, the opponent had already entered the level where he could condense a Ring of Laws.

And now, neither Ye Tian nor the Senior Brother had reached more than two complete Laws.

The power of the Ring of Laws naturally had a great suppressive and weakening effect on other beings who had not condensed a Ring of Laws.

Moreover, there was also the power amplification of the Ring of Laws itself.

And it greatly increased Law resistance, significantly reducing the damage caused by external Laws.

With such strength, let alone him, even if the two of them teamed up, they would absolutely not be Tang Xin's opponent.

Sure enough, the moment the Ring of Laws appeared behind Tang Xin, Ye Tian's sword energy actually began to spontaneously dissolve.

By the time it reached Tang Xin's front, the once mighty Starfall sword energy had only seven-tenths of its original scale left.

At this moment, Tang Xin made another move that stunned everyone.

He didn't use any martial arts, nor did he use any protective measures.

He just extended one hand and directly grabbed the Starfall sword energy.

Then, with only a 'cracking' sound, the terrifying sword energy was crushed into pieces by him, completely disappearing between heaven and earth.

Ye Tian stared blankly at all this; a sword strike he had unleashed with all his might had failed to even create a ripple, and was so easily dissolved by the opponent.

Moreover, he used the most direct method—a head-on clash.

An unprecedented sense of powerlessness, mixed with some shame, instantly surged into Ye Tian's heart.

"Law... Ring of Laws!"

"And... and Starfall was actually crushed with bare hands!"

All the excitement and anticipation on the faces of the Zhengyuan Sect disciples had long since vanished without a trace.

They understood very well that in this battle, Ye Tian had lost.

Not only Ye Tian, but the moment the Ring of Laws appeared, the Senior Brother had also lost, even though he hadn't even entered the arena yet.

Tang Xin slowly retracted his hand, glancing at his perfectly intact palm.

Ye Tian's sword strike just now had failed to leave even the slightest mark on it.

"Sword cultivator? Nothing special, after all."

Hearing Tang Xin's taunt, Ye Tian couldn't help but retort, "It's not that my sword lost to you, it's just that my realm isn't as good as yours, if..."

But at this moment, Tang Xin's figure had already vanished from his sight.

In another blink of an eye, Tang Xin had already arrived in front of him, lightly striking out with a palm, precisely hitting Ye Tian's chest.

Ye Tian couldn't react at all, he could only watch helplessly as the palm strike landed.

During this process, the giant sword in his hand was also taken by Tang Xin.

Then, Ye Tian was sent flying backward from the battlefield by this palm strike, heavily crashing towards the ground.

Fortunately, he was steadily caught by several quick-eyed disciples, which prevented him from appearing even more disheveled.

But at this moment, countless fragments slammed into his body.

The disciples beside him naturally refused to allow this, and one after another, they made their moves, attempting to strike them down.

However, these fragments were quite peculiar; as they were about to touch the disciples, they would unleash powerful force, repelling them.

Yet, when they were about to touch Ye Tian, they acted like ordinary fragments, landing on him.

And Ye Tian also recognized what these fragments were—they were precisely his giant sword!
