The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Boom!

With a loud bang, Ye Honglan staggered back several steps.

"Such powerful swordsmanship."

After regaining her footing, she looked at Lu Yuan with burning eyes.

"What a troublesome guy."

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Honglan and couldn't help but frown.

With his current strength, combined with the Earth-rank low-grade battle skill Earth-Shattering, even an eight-star battle general would have to retreat, but Ye Honglan actually took it head-on and caught it!

The Ye family's Sword King lives up to his name.

Most importantly, Lu Yuan felt that this guy not only wasn't angered by the beating, but was getting more and more excited as he got older.

Hopefully, I won't encounter any legendary sword fanatics or battle maniacs.

That's right.

Looking at Ye Honglan's eyes, which were now shining, Lu Yuan sighed inwardly. He had really encountered such a rare gem.

"I will meet your sword strike with my own!"

The next moment, before Lu Yuan could even react, Ye Honglan let out a loud shout and slashed at him with her sword.

The broadsword was like a giant ruler measuring the heavens.

Lu Yuan's eyes widened instantly; this was definitely a low-grade Earth-rank sword technique.

Not daring to be careless in the slightest, he swung his sword again.

Split the sky!

Boom!

Another loud crash, swords clashing, and a massive shockwave instantly swept through the surrounding area.

Those Ye family members who were providing cover also retreated again to avoid being caught in the crossfire and to make room for more people.

Tap tap tap!

This time, Lu Yuan remained standing in the same spot, while Ye Honglan took several steps back again.

It wasn't that Ye Honglan's combat skills were inferior to Lu Yuan's, but simply a difference in their strength!

Understanding this, Lu Yuan's expression became even more serious.

It should be noted that Earth Splitting is a low-grade Earth-rank combat skill, while this Heaven Splitting move, after his analysis and completion, is already the pinnacle of low-grade Earth-rank combat skills.

In this situation, Ye Honglan was not inferior in skill, which shows how strong her swordsmanship was.

And I must say, he truly lives up to his title as the Sword King of the Ye family.

"etc!"

Seeing that Ye Honglan was about to reach her climax and was about to pounce on him again, Lu Yuan quickly raised his hand and asked a question.

"What did you mean by the sword stance you just mentioned?"

"The sword technique you just used, if classified as a combat skill, would be considered a low-grade Earth rank."

Ye Honglan paused for the moment, but was quite happy to give Lu Yuan a brief explanation.

"Sword techniques are divided into three levels: moves, stances, and intent. Moves are the most basic, and even mastering them is just so-so. Stances are different; they may seem simple, but they possess the power to create heaven and earth. In comparison, intent is even stronger, and it is completely natural."

"Therefore, a low-grade Earth-rank combat skill is at the level of sword intent."

"That's right."

"But I used swordsmanship!"

"They are all the same; all things in the world lead to the same goal, though their paths may differ."

"All right."

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, took a deep breath, and asked solemnly.

"What level are you at now?"

"Half-step sword intent!"

Ye Honglan made no attempt to hide anything and gave her answer directly.

Lu Yuan sighed, looking frustrated. Sure enough, as the Sword King of the Ye family, Ye Honglan had already entered the realm of sword intent.

Fortunately, it's only half a step; he hasn't fully mastered it yet. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have had any chance of winning.

If sword momentum is already a low-grade Earth-rank combat skill, then what level is sword intent?

Mid-grade Earth-rank techniques are all arrays, but they don't have much sword intent. There are also rumors that the Ye family has a high-grade Earth-rank combat technique.

Could it be that sword intent is a high-grade Earth-rank combat skill?

"Your swordsmanship has reached a level of perfection, and your physique surpasses mine. If we were to compete with you in swordsmanship again, I would be no match for you."

While pondering, Ye Honglan spoke again, her expression suddenly becoming serious.

"Since that's the case, I'll challenge you to a duel using my half-step understanding of sword intent!"

"Actually, there's no need to take it so seriously."

"Watch out!"

Ye Honglan didn't waste words with Lu Yuan. With a soft shout, she lowered the tip of her sword.

But in an instant, Lu Yuan could clearly feel that his entire aura had changed.

Lu Yuan dared not be careless in the slightest, gripping his battle sword tightly with both hands.

The next moment, as if strolling leisurely, Ye Honglan walked straight over and then casually slashed with her sword.

Lu Yuan's first thought was to dodge, but his intuition told him that no matter how he dodged, he couldn't avoid the sword. He chose to trust his intuition.

There was no other way but to take the blow head-on.

Boom!

Amidst the rising dust, this time it was Lu Yuan who was slashed and sent flying.

He was sent flying backward for twenty or thirty meters before he managed to stop. The blade of his battle sword shattered instantly, and at the same time, he was severely injured by the sword energy from his arm to half of his body.

In an instant, the Golden Bridge of Heaven and Earth frantically drew in spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and the body was rapidly repaired.

Buzz!

With a flick of his sword, true energy surged forth, and the blade was restored to its original state.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Ye Honglan again.

It's truly terrifying that someone who has only just begun to master a half-step sword intent, which is essentially a high-grade Earth-rank combat skill, can possess such power.

The fourth grade of the Earth Rank represents a qualitative leap, and indeed it is.

Fortunately, Ye Honglan is only at the half-step sword intent level, so this battle is still going to be fought.

"Um?"

Ye Honglan looked at Lu Yuan, but her brows furrowed.

It wasn't because Lu Yuan caught his sword, but because he discovered that Lu Yuan recovered very quickly after being injured.

This is an effect that cannot be achieved by mere combat skills.

"What kind of monster is this kid?"

Ye Hongxia stood to the side, but she could see everything clearly, and her expression turned serious.

With super-fast self-healing abilities, what else could it be but a monster?

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but the key issue is that he is still a martial artist, a powerful martial artist.

With overwhelming force and super self-healing ability, this is simply unbeatable!

"Haha~! Great! That's wonderful!"

Just then, Ye Honglan suddenly threw her head back and laughed loudly, then looked at Lu Yuan, her eyes seeming to be burning with two flames.

"That way, I can act without any scruples!"

"Damn it."

Looking at Ye Honglan, Lu Yuan couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

This guy had a complete orgasm.

The crucial point is that, according to his words, he actually held back just now.

If it were used at full power, what kind of power would it possess?

Lu Yuan's expression turned serious again. Although he could heal himself quickly thanks to the Golden Bridge of Heaven and Earth, he could not be brought back to life.

Although he hasn't tried it, it probably can't.

If Ye Honglan's sword intent were strong enough to instantly kill him, then it would be a complete disaster.

"In that case..."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, no longer daring to be overconfident.

He raised his hand, took out a gas needle from his spatial ring, and threw it directly into the surrounding ground.

hum~

In the blink of an eye, all 108 qi needles were in place, and a yellowish-brown aura emanated from them.

Lu Yuan flicked his sword, wrapping the earth energy around it.

"Hmm? This is...?"

Upon seeing this, Ye Honglan was first taken aback, but then became even more excited.

Lu Yuan's methods far exceeded his expectations; he hadn't found such a worthy opponent in a long time.

"Form alone!"

As one of the heads of the Ye family, Ye Hongxia's vision was naturally exceptional, and she immediately recognized him.

Looking at Lu Yuan again, his expression became even more serious. Not only was he a monster with amazing self-healing abilities, but he could also form an array on his own. He was simply a prodigy.

For a moment, Ye Hongxia couldn't help but feel a little regretful, regretting that she had become Lu Yuan's enemy.

It's not that we're afraid of Lu Yuan's current strength, but rather that he's so young yet already possesses such power, his future is limitless!

"snort!"

But then, Ye Hongxia let out a cold snort, and her gaze became firm once again.

Now that it's done, there's no need to worry about anything else; the Ye family has always been fearless and determined!
