Wu Xingwen didn’t come; Yang Dingtian’s door was still shut.
Mu Lianyi clenched her teeth and said, “Let me do it. I will fight you!”
Finishing her statement, Mu Lianyi leaped up the stage.
Everyone was shocked, Tuoba Ye had this change in expression as he said, “You?”
“What? Can’t I?” Mu Lianyi spoke in a cold voice, “In a martial contest for marriage, not only must you defeat your rivals, but you must also pass my test.”
“Sure.” Tuoba Ye laughed and said, “But you are just a five-star Mystic Martial Warrior. Compared to Ximen Bao, you are significantly weaker. Can you even block a single move from me?”
“I can’t.” Mu Lianyi said, “But as long as I die, I won’t have to marry you, and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl will not have to be given to you.”
Tuoba Ye’s expression changed. Everyone’s expressions looked stunned.
“No, my daughter.” Mu Liancheng exclaimed and spoke to Tuoba Ye, “Take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Can you let go of my daughter?”
“No way.” Tuoba Ye spoke coldly, “I want the pearl, I want the woman even more. No woman could escape once I target them.”
Mu Lianyi sneered and said, “You will not get the woman or the pearl.”
As Mu Lianyi finished talking, she abruptly drew her longsword!
Tuoba Ye spoke in a cold voice, “You want to die? Not so easy. Do you think you will free yourself after you die? No, no, no, even if you die, I will let you suffer utter humiliation.”
Mu Lianyi’s delicate body shuddered as she revealed an appalled expression. This Tuoba Ye was actually so sick and ruthless.
“Then, I will just die without a corpse and shatter into pieces!” Mu Lianyi let out a grim yell and circulated her mystic qi before suddenly rushing at Tuoba Ye.
“Xingwen. Goodbye!”
Mu Lianyi’s delicate body flew towards Tuoba Ye like a moth towards the fire. At the moment she made contact, she would explode her qi vessel and blast herself into smithereens. Even if she died, she didn’t want to suffer any humiliation and didn’t want to fall into the hands of this evil devil.
“No!” Mu Liancheng cry out in alarm and jumped into the air.
“Bang…” There was a loud noise!
Yang Dingtian’s courtyard had a loud bang, while the roof instantly shattered. There was a giant hole where Yang Dingtian shot out and landed on the stage, in between Tuoba Ye and Mu Lianyi!
“Tuoba Ye, your opponent is me,” Yang Dingtian stared at Tuoba Ye and spoke in a cold voice!
Immediately after, he turned to look at the stunned Mu Lianyi and smiled. “You are at the prime of your life. How can you bear to let it return to zero?”
Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian immediately pushed Mu Lianyi off the stage!
“Tuoba Ye, your opponent is me. There is still time before the end of the contest, right?”
Tuoba Ye looked at Yang Dingtian and laughed heartily. “You must have lost your mind over lust. You would throw your life away for a beauty. Since you are here to claim your death, why would I reject you? I will now display the art of killing for everyone!”
As he finished speaking his final words, Tuoba Ye’s eyes already had this icy cold cruelty!
Mu Liancheng was about to go crazy at this moment as he yelled out, “Yan Nantian, you get down! We admit defeat!”
Li Guinong had placed Ximen Bao down and shouted, “Yan Nantian, you are not a match for him. Get down!”
Yang Dingtian spoke coldly, “Since I am on stage, I cannot go down any more! Tuoba Ye, you cannot take the beauty nor the pearl.”
Tuoba Ye flashed his sharp sword while bursting with ruthless and terrifying killing qi. He pointed at Yang Dingtian and spoke while laughing, “I still lack a urinal pot. You skull looks nice, lend it to me.”
**************
The Pig Slaying Sword Art’s first rank allowed Yang Dingtian to breakthrough 19 classes with the assistance of the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation.
Then what about the second rank? Of all the martial skills in the world, when advancing to the second rank, there was hardly any breakthrough.
But it was possible for the Pig Slaying Sword Art because it was unrivaled.
After 12 hours of cultivation, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword allowed Yang Dingtian to break through again, by two classes.
Yang Dingtian advanced from three-star Mystic Martial Warrior to five-star Mystic Martial Warrior.
These two classes were like defying heaven!
But it was far from enough!
Tuoba Ye had defeated Ximen Bao, who was a powerful one-star Great Martial Mystic Master, and in a way where he couldn’t even resist as Tuoba Ye instantly defeated him in a single move.
Five-star Mystic Martial Warrior was 16 classes lower than Ximen Bao and even lower than Tuoba Ye.
The was a gap of more than ten classes and two ranks.
In the few thousand years of history, there was never a case of victory or even a case of survival.
There was only one result, instant death!
That’s right, instant death! There wouldn’t be any resistance!
Hence, Li Guinong and Mu Liancheng thought that Yang Dingtian had gone crazy. They thought that he wanted to throw his life away just to save Mu Lianyi and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl.
*************
“Big Brother Yan. You come down. We will admit defeat!” Mu Lianyi yelled at Yang Dingtian.
“Too late.” Tuoba Ye said coldly, “Yan Nantian killed my substitute. He must die and in the most miserable way.”
“Tuoba Ye. Shall we change the method for fighting?” Yang Dingtian suddenly asked.
“No other methods can save your life,” Tuoba Ye replied.
That’s right. This match was even more insane than the one with Qin Shaobai.
The duel with Qin Shaobai only had a difference of one rank, but today’s fight had a difference of two ranks.
Furthermore, during the fight with Qin Shaobai, Yang Dingtian used the sword soul, but today he didn’t have it.
Everyone held their breaths and waited to see what method did Yang Dingtian want to fight in.
Yang Dingtian laughed and said, “When you were fighting with Senior Ximen, you only used the first form. It is such a pity not to be able to execute the second and third forms. That is your true trump, right?”
“That’s right. The second form is a few folds stronger than the first form, and the third form is another few folds stronger than the second form.” Tuoba Ye spoke in a cold voice, “An opponent like Ximen Bao isn’t qualified for me to execute the second form.”
Yang Dingtian said, “I want to try your latter two forms of your Soul Break Devil Sword. I want to see exactly how incredible it is.”
Once this statement was out, everyone gasped with surprise.
Yang Dingtian was mad! He was absolutely mad!
Ximen Bao, who was so formidable, was already instantly defeated by Tuoba Ye’s Soul Break Devil Sword’s first form. Did Yang Dingtian think that he wasn’t going to die in a more direct method? He actually wanted to try the second and third form of the Soul Break Devil Sword? This was utter madness.
“Yan Nantian, you are mad. Get down quickly!” Mu Liancheng yelled out frantically.
“Too late!” Tuoba Ye interrupted and replied to Yang Dingtian, “Alright, I will let you have a taste of it.”
“No way, the martial contest is canceled!” Mu Liancheng shouted and leaped onto the stage, wanting to pull Yang Dingtian away.
“Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish…” All of a sudden, over a dozen shadows, shot out from the lake. They then landed all around the contest stage.
These people were all wrapped in black cloaks, and every one of them was above the Great Mystic Martial Master rank. They were all the elders of the Raging Flames Castle.
“Shoosh!” Immediately after, a fiery red arrow banner was shot into the sky.
There was the sound of horseshoes galloping from a distance.
A black army that had a few hundred soldiers came from all directions and surrounded the entire Mu Clan’s Docks, getting ready to kill their way in at any moment.
Tuoba Ye looked at Mu Liancheng and spoke in a cold voice, “If anyone dares to ruin the contest today, I will exterminate the entire Mu Clan’s Docks!”
Yang Dingtian turned around and spoke to Mu Liancheng, “Uncle Mu, let me try. Trust me!”
“No!” Mu Liancheng responded decisively.
Yang Dingtian let out this stern face and spoke slowly, “Back down. This is an order!”
Mu Liancheng drew the sharp sword and put it across his neck. It was apparent that he was going to kill himself if Yang Dingtian didn’t withdraw from the fight.
Yang Dingtian looked at Mu Liancheng and asked, “Uncle Mu, do you trust City Lord Ximen?”
Mu Liancheng nodded. Of course, he trusted Ximen Wuya, in his heart, Ximen Wuya was an existence like heaven, an omnipotent individual.
“Then you should believe me too,” Yang Dingtian said.
Mu Liancheng was startled.
“Back down,” Yang Dingtian spoke unhurriedly.
Mu Liancheng went silent for a moment and put down his sword. He spoke in a resolute tone, “No matter the case, remember this. The moment you die will be the moment when all the Mu clansmen die.”
Afterward, Mu Liancheng backed down from the stage.
*************
After Mu Liancheng backed down, Yang Dingtian looked towards Tuoba Ye and asked, “If I can withstand the latter two forms of your mystic skills, what will you do?”
“Haha, in your dreams!” Tuoba Ye laughed and said, “You will be crushed into pieces with the second form!”
“What if? I am making an assumption,” Yang Dingtian smiled.
Tuoba Ye smiled and said, “If you can block the final two of my mystic skills, it will be your win today. How about it? Mu Lianyi and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl will be yours.”
“Deal,” Yang Dingtian responded.
“Deal.” Tuoba Ye said, “I swear upon the twin suns, twin moons, and the Primal Chaos Continent.”
“Good!” Yang Dingtian spoke loudly, “If I survive after taking down both your mystic skills, today’s contest will be my victory. Then, let’s begin!”
“Let’s fight!”
**********
Tuoba Ye’s first mystic skill had instantly defeated the one-star Great Mystic Martial Master, Ximen Bao.
Yang Dingtian slowly raised the sharp sword and waited to receive Tuoba Ye’s second mystic skill.
“Soul Break Devil Sword, second form. Mountain Splitting Violent Sword! Die…”
With a roar, Tuoba Ye’s sharp sword brandished frenziedly. Countless white sword lights shot up into the sky. It was slowly condensed several meters up in the air. Finally, it condensed into a giant light sword, which was over a dozen feet in length. It then slashed down on Yang Dingtian’s head.
It was swift and powerful. It was emitting a thunderous sound when in midair.
Compared to this giant light sword, Yang Dingtian looked prominently smaller.
As expected, the second form of the Soul Break Devil Sword was much more horrific than the first form.
“Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, second move, Formless Sword!”
Yang Dingtian’s body was entirely like a soft shadow that tactfully shuttled in midair.
It was extremely nimble and effective.
“Huff Huff Huff…” That light sword instantly slashed down.
But Yang Dingtian’s Formless Sword evaded it like wind, as he accurately, routed around every inch of the light sword’s killing glow.
That’s right, this mystic skill burst out a very powerful light sword, which was entirely made up of the mystic qi. So it was also filled with both void and real mystic qi, as every inch of the killing blow couldn’t be filled with fatal power.
It felt as though the Formless Sword was able to sense the sword light’s energy in advance and allowed Yang Dingtian to use the fastest speed and most accurate angle to evade the attack, producing a breathtaking scene as a result.
Yang Dingtian was like an incomparably nimble kite, which gracefully swayed in midair. It felt as though he was going with the flow and dancing on the edge of the knife.
It was as though his body didn’t have any bones, as though his body didn’t have any weight.
This was the Pig Slaying Sword Art. There was no fixed sword move, and it didn’t emphasize the form. It emphasized on the mystic qi’s senses, and flow while disregarding the superficial sword moves.
Everyone was stunned, Mu Lianyi, Mu Liancheng, even Li Guinong was stupefied.
After Mu Liancheng backed down from the stage, he didn’t think that Yang Dingtian had any chance of blocking against Tuoba Ye’s Soul Break Devil Sword. He had the thought of immediately committing suicide after Yang Dingtian was killed.
Li Guinong might have known of Yang Dingtian’s astounding innate talents, but he never expected for Yang Dingtian to be able to withstand Tuoba Ye’s Soul Break Devil Sword. Yang Digntian was just a Mystic Martial Warrior, after all.
Mu Lianyi was genuinely amazed by Yang Dingtian. Even Ximen Bao was instantly defeated in a single move, but Yang Dingtian was still unscathed when facing such a lethal kill move.
“Boom Boom Boom Boom…” That wind sword got faster and faster as it hacked and chopped at everything in the surrounding.
Trees were turned into dust.
Giant stone pillars were smashed into pieces.
Brick houses were crushed into smithereens.
Sparks burst forth; dust rushed into the sky!
The Mountain Splitting Violent Sword had entered the most brutal state and possessed terrifying lethal power.
In an instance, Yang Dingtian was completely covered in dust.
“Pfff…” Suddenly, there was this sword-shaped blood that burst out.
“Haha…” Tuoba Ye laughed loudly, “Kid, even though your performance had frightened me, you ultimately still died under my sword.”
“Boom…” The wind shadow sword finally cleaved onto the stage. There was a giant echo, while the center of the contest stage was split apart.
Gradually, the dust settled and cleared out.
Everyone was shocked to see that Yang Dingtian was still standing in the center and was unscathed.
“Huff…” Yang Dingtian let out a long breath.
A strand of hair fell from above his forehead. When he was inside the violent massacre of the wind shadow sword, his speed wasn’t fast enough, and a strand of his hair was shaved off by the sword light condensed by the mystic qi.
“Impossible?” Tuoba Ye exclaimed, “Why aren’t you dead? How is this possible?”
Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief, as they thought he was undoubtedly dead, but he was ultimately unscathed.
Tuoba Ye’s expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant. He had mentioned that he was going to kill Yang Dingtian in two moves. But the first move was over, and Yang Dingtian didn’t die. If Yang Dingtian were able to survive the next move, then Tuoba Ye would have utterly failed.
Hence, for the third move, Tuoba Ye had to use all his strength and put down Yang Dingtian.
Tuoba Ye’s had this grave expression as he spoke to Yang Dingtian, “You have bizarre maneuvers. You might have dodged my second move, but I would like to see how you are going to dodge my third move?”
“Violent Rainstorm Sword!” Tuoba Ye roared out. As Tuoba Ye leaped up, the sword in his hair turned into a ball of chilling glow and violently danced in midair.
This was the third form of his mystic skill. Tuoba Ye had put in all his strength, and the power was several folds stronger than the move before. He wanted to dismember Yang Dingtian into thousands of pieces.
