In the midst of his loud laughter, the Small Sword King’s conceptual realm transformed into a leopard. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced towards Ye Chu. Compared to the previous time, the Small Sword King’s conceptual realm was much stronger this time. With its vibrations, it stirred up countless lake waters. The lake waters also turned into leopards and charged at Ye Chu, completely enveloping him.
The Small Sword King was naturally arrogant. Having failed to defeat Ye Chu last time, he felt unwilling in his heart. He refused to believe that such a person could defeat him. In his view, even the chosen ones of the era would eventually have to be stepped on by him. He should be invincible among the younger generation. Since he had suffered a loss at Ye Chu’s hands last time, only by defeating him could he strengthen his own convictions.
The Small Sword King’s conceptual realm was firm, and the conceptual patterns he condensed were extraordinary as he sought to suppress Ye Chu.
“Last time I could defeat you, and this time I can still defeat you.” A sharp gleam flashed in Ye Chu’s eyes. Without hesitation, he thrust out his sword intent. The sword intent was fierce as it met the opponent’s conceptual patterns.
“Chi…”
The sword intent clashed with the leopards, stirring up boundless lake waters. The lake waters scattered like raindrops, falling onto the void and creating ripples. Ye Chu’s sword light was sharp and cold, while the opponent’s leopards were ferocious and domineering.
“Humph!” Seeing Ye Chu block him once again, the Small Sword King gave a cold snort. He manipulated his conceptual patterns, merging them into the Dragon Blood Lake to form real water leopards. The conceptual patterns erupted with their strongest power for this.
The water leopards tumbled and formed a whirlpool in the lake water. With swift speed, they pounced towards Ye Chu, carrying a suppressing might.
Ye Chu resisted with his sword intent. His conceptual realm surged forth as the sword intent merged into the lake water, transforming into streams of water swords that shot straight at the leopards condensed by the Small Sword King, blocking the water leopards’ bites.
The lake water surged and produced bursts of sounds, causing the heaven and earth vital energy to fluctuate even more intensely. The clouds in the sky churned without end.
The crowd watching this scene all focused their gazes on it at once.
One was a youth who possessed a heaven and earth phenomenon but was strangely peculiar, making it hard for people to tell if he was a blade of grass or a chosen one.
The other was a renowned young talent in this area.
The clash between these two was truly worth watching. Even Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince were drawn in. They could not see through Ye Chu, so it was perfect to let the Small Sword King test him and determine whether Ye Chu was a worm or a dragon.
“If you do not use your conceptual pattern phenomenon, how could you be this young master’s opponent!” The Small Sword King saw that Ye Chu had not yet used his conceptual pattern at this moment. He snorted and looked at Ye Chu with cold eyes. His conceptual realm became even more domineering and fierce as it charged straight at Ye Chu.
The leopards were ferocious, circling above the lake surface and splitting the lake water as if to tear everything apart, giving off a powerful sense of deterrence.
Ye Jingyun felt this conceptual realm and her heart skipped a beat. Compared to last time, the Small Sword King’s raging conceptual realm was much stronger now. With its vibrations, it truly carried an invincible might.
“Since you want to see this young master’s heaven and earth phenomenon, I will let you witness it.”
Ye Chu no longer held back. His conceptual realm vibrated forth as the nine stars in a line pierced through with terrifying light, like a sharp sword shooting straight at the leopards.
“Boom…”
A huge rumbling sound rang out as Ye Chu’s phenomenon collided with the opponent’s leopards, stirring up lake water dozens of metres high. The lake water covered the sky and dyed a stretch of the void red.
Tan Chen and the others in the lake were drenched all over by the lake water. The lake water kept splashing up like rain.
The Small Sword King’s conceptual realm was shattered. He retreated several steps but then laughed heartily. “I was afraid you were just a wax head. Now it seems you do have some skill. I just do not know if you can still block my true intent.”
“Since I could block it last time, it will naturally not be a problem this time.” Ye Chu knew the opponent’s true intent was powerful, especially now after being tempered by the Dragon Blood Lake. The true intent would be even more terrifying.
In terms of realm, Ye Chu was still quite a bit behind the opponent. Although he had won against the opponent last time, it had carried some luck. This time, Ye Chu did not have absolute confidence in surpassing the opponent.
However, for a cultivator the most important thing was to temper oneself. Even if a strong enemy stood before him, Ye Chu would not feel fear.
The surroundings were silent, with only the splashing water sounds from Ye Chu and the Small Sword King’s clash vibrating out.
The Small Sword King drove the leopards with his true intent. The leopards crossed the lake water. Their power shifted from sharp and domineering to restrained. They seemed to have no threat at all, but Ye Chu understood that this conceptual realm was even more terrifying.
Ye Chu resisted with his sword intent. The nine stars in a line vibrated and pierced through streams of sharp swords that turned into sword lights. They condensed the lake water to form a sword net that swept towards the Small Sword King’s conceptual realm.
The Small Sword King wanted to suppress the opponent with his conceptual realm, and he did exactly that. His true intent was extraordinary, far surpassing ordinary agile conceptual realms. He could resonate with fierce beasts and truly turn into a beast, like a living creature with life that suppressed Ye Chu from above.
The Small Sword King’s conceptual patterns had no heaven and earth phenomenon, yet relying on his true intent that was like it had life, he firmly suppressed Ye Chu.
“Heaven and earth phenomenon is nothing more than that!” The Small Sword King sneered. The leopard crushed one of Ye Chu’s round stones, breaking the nine stars in a line.
“Ye Chu’s conceptual realm is also not ordinary, but facing true intent it is still strenuous. This is already another level. Only true intent can oppose true intent. Even heaven and earth phenomena will not work.” Tan Chen shook his head and said, “Back then when he clashed with me in conceptual realms, I also did not use true intent.”
“It looks like he is going to lose!” The Heavenly Feather Prince sighed. “What a waste of possessing a heaven and earth phenomenon. It is truly a pity.”
“The youth fighting Ye Chu is also not ordinary. His true intent is domineering and he can be called a talent of one region. If nothing unexpected happens, he can become an emperor level expert or even higher in the future.”
The crowd’s discussions did not disturb Ye Chu. With the nine stars in a line broken, Ye Chu did not give up because of it. He condensed sword intent with his conceptual realm and continued to oppose the opponent.
“Are you still not admitting defeat? You are destined to become my defeated subordinate. You cannot be a stumbling block on my cultivation path!” The Small Sword King’s nature was firm as he sought to defeat Ye Chu and erase the slight shadow left from last time.
Ye Chu was suppressed by the Small Sword King’s conceptual realm, making him feel that even breathing was difficult.
Yet under this pressure, Ye Chu gritted his teeth and persisted. True intent was terrifying, but at this moment his heart held only battle intent. Ye Chu cast aside everything else. In his heart there was only himself and his own intent…
Ye Chu still blocked the opponent with his sword intent. Although completely suppressed, he did not collapse.
“Quite resilient!” The Small Sword King muttered. The youth before him was absolutely suppressed by his true intent yet had not collapsed. Instead he had firmly endured it. This made the Small Sword King regard Ye Chu a bit higher.
“However, what use is resisting for a moment? Within ten breaths, I will definitely break your conceptual realm and injure your origin spirit.”
The Small Sword King held absolute conviction. His conceptual realm vibrated as he sought to break through Ye Chu.
Ten breaths passed in the blink of an eye, but although the Small Sword King had erased quite a few of Ye Chu’s conceptual patterns during this time, he had not made Ye Chu collapse.
My heart is only intent!
“I am invincible!”
“I am invincible!”
“I am invincible!”
Ye Chu had only one belief in his heart. His mind merged into himself as he forgot the external pressure.
The dancing sword intent grew increasingly fierce, with its edge fully displayed. Ye Chu’s conceptual realm vibrated as if it were a divine sword unsheathed from its scabbard. Even the onlookers felt that Ye Chu’s conceptual realm had become sharp and fully revealed, with the conceptual realm constantly growing.
Ye Chu’s sword intent seemed to have nurtured life as it began to tremble, with sword cries ringing out.
“Ye Chu is transforming. He is comprehending intent!” Tan Chen saw it instantly and exchanged a glance with the Heavenly Feather Prince. They had not expected Ye Chu to comprehend true intent in this manner.
