A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Ye Chen could tell that Lin Wanli was no weakling; he faintly exuded a sword aura, indicating he was a master swordsman...

However, he also has confidence in himself!

Seeing Ye Chen's arrogance, Lin Wanli became serious and determined to teach Ye Chen a lesson...

In the outer sect, almost no disciple dared to directly withstand his sword strikes...

"rub!"

Lin Wanli drew his sword, his entire demeanor shifting abruptly. His gaze sharpened as he looked at Ye Chen, radiating a fierce sword aura...

Standing there, he gave the impression of being a sharp sword, radiating brilliance from every angle!

Seeing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, loosened his muscles slightly, and the next second, spiritual energy surged around him, his aura soaring like a rainbow, in no way inferior to Lin Wanli's sword momentum...

The disciples watching the fight all stepped back, making way for a clearing to avoid being accidentally injured if the two started fighting...

"Senior Brother Lin Wanli truly lives up to his reputation as the number one swordsman in the outer sect. I can feel his sword aura just by him standing there..."

"Such a powerful aura... If I were to fight Senior Brother Lin, he could probably shatter me with a single sword strike."

"Is Senior Brother Xu really planning to spar with Senior Brother Lin bare-handed? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

"Senior Brother Lin is a master swordsman, stronger than both Meng Fan and Xie Huai'an. I think Senior Brother Xu underestimated him too much..."

"But I feel that Senior Brother Xu's aura is also very strong. Although I can't see through it, it feels terrifying. It's not like the spiritual energy fluctuations that someone at the eighth level of Qi Refining could possess..."

"Could it be that Senior Brother Xu has been hiding his cultivation level all along, and that he has actually reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage?"

......

The disciples watching were all discussing animatedly, their gazes shifting between Ye Chen and Lin Wanli, speculating who would emerge victorious in the upcoming sparring match...

Lin Wanli looked at Ye Chen, who was ready in front of him, and a strange light flashed in his eyes...

"You really don't use a sword?"

He was somewhat surprised...

I initially thought Ye Chen was just bragging, but it turns out he really intends to fight me bare-handed...

Isn't that a bit disrespectful?

"I said...it's not necessary..."

Meeting Lin Wanli's gaze, Ye Chen said calmly.

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Lin Wanli's heart, and his gaze towards Ye Chen sharpened...

"Then... take this!"

He wanted to teach Ye Chen a lesson, since he didn't use a sword.

Underestimating yourself will come at a price...

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wanli swiftly swung his sword, slashing towards Ye Chen in front of him...

"Buzz!"

A sword's cry rang out...

A burst of sword energy suddenly slashed out!

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but think more highly of Lin Wanli. No wonder he was called a sword fanatic; he did indeed have some skill in swordsmanship...

Instead of taking the blow head-on, he quickly dodged to the side, and as he avoided the whistling sword energy, he raised his hand and threw a punch at Lin Wanli in front of him...

"So fast..."

Lin Wanli was startled, seemingly not expecting Ye Chen to be able to predict the direction of his sword strike and dodge it in advance.

Faced with Ye Chen's counterattack, Lin Wanli hurriedly sheathed his sword, holding it horizontally in front of his chest, gathering a surge of sword energy to parry...

"Break it!"

Ye Chen shouted in a deep voice.

The powerful punch was imbued with spiritual energy, exuding a fierce aura.

A strong gust of wind rushed towards me...

Lin Wanli was startled; it was too late to change his move and dodge...

"boom--"

A deafening roar, accompanied by a surge of spiritual energy!

The sword trembled violently, its sword energy dissipated, and it almost bent...

"Bang!"

Lin Wanli was sent flying by a punch, staggering back several steps before finally stopping. His arms were numb from the impact, his blood and qi surged, and his expression changed slightly...

It took a while for his blood and qi to stabilize.

He looked up at Ye Chen, his gaze changed, completely devoid of his previous disdain, his eyes filled with shock...

"Such powerful force..."

Although caught off guard, his sword aura, held horizontally in front of him, was strong enough to withstand even a Foundation Establishment stage expert, yet he was knocked back by Ye Chen's punch...

The disciples watching the commotion widened their eyes in surprise and couldn't help but gasp...

"Senior Brother Xu is amazing..."

"He actually forced Senior Brother Lin back with a single punch, that's too strong..."

"Isn't everyone saying that Senior Brother Lin's swordsmanship is unmatched in the outer sect? Senior Brother Xu could suppress him even with his bare hands..."

"Hiss! Am I seeing things? Is Senior Brother Xu really that fierce?"

"My goodness! Senior Brother Xu dodged so fast! I didn't even see it clearly before Senior Brother Lin was sent flying..."

......

Everyone originally thought that Lin Wanli was coming with great momentum and would surely be able to defeat Ye Chen.

No one expected that Lin Wanli would be sent flying with a single punch in just one exchange...

Although Lin Wanli wasn't seriously injured, this attack made it clear to everyone who was stronger...

In an instant, the disciples present looked at Ye Chen with even greater admiration!

Lin Wanli recovered his senses, his expression turning serious. He wasn't intimidated by Ye Chen's punch; instead, it ignited a fierce fighting spirit within him...

"Wow, he's got some skill after all..."

"No wonder you were able to defeat Meng Fan!"

"Perfect timing to test my sword techniques..."

......

Lin Wanli spoke, and once again swung his sword at Ye Chen...

This time, he drew his sword faster, thrust at a more cunning angle, and with even greater ferocity...

It was like a biting, cold wind rushing straight towards us...

"Buzz!"

Ye Chen felt the sword energy rushing towards him and was slightly startled. He looked up and saw Lin Wanli's sword moves clearly...

Without the slightest hesitation, the instant he saw an opening, he swiftly dodged the sword's edge...

It appeared at the only gap in an area teeming with deadly attacks...

"Um?"

Lin Wanli was startled; his sword missed its mark in an instant, and he felt utterly incredulous...

This time his sword strike was even faster, but Ye Chen still managed to dodge it!

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong...

It was as if his sword moves had been read by his opponent!

Otherwise, how could they have dodged it so easily?

It appeared precisely in that exact spot...

"impossible..."

Lin Wanli frowned slightly, thinking it was just a coincidence...

Among the outer disciples, no one's swordsmanship talent can surpass his. How can anyone see through his sword moves?

"Take this sword..."

Lin Wanli shouted in a deep voice, raising his hand to slash at Ye Chen beside him again...

Almost the instant he swung his sword, Ye Chen, as if prescient, dodged again, taking a sharp step back and narrowly avoiding the sharp blade...

Another sword strike missed its target!

"this..."

Lin Wanli was dumbfounded on the spot...

Ye Chen easily dodged several sword strikes in succession, leaving him momentarily questioning his own existence...

I feel like I've forgotten how to use a sword...
