I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 48 Heavenly Net

Intermediate-level martial art, Waves of Passion!

Liang Jia originally intended to save this move for the round of 16, but now she had no choice but to use it ahead of schedule.

The fast and slow sword technique involves adjusting the speed of the sword strike to confuse the opponent's vision, while the overlapping wave technique is different; it is a martial art that can stack up the force.

The technique of releasing internal energy in segments and then combining the forces of multiple segments is an extremely sophisticated martial arts technique.

Wave after wave, double the attack!

Liang Jia slashed out with her sword, and before she even arrived, Ye Qingzhou already felt a strong gust of wind rushing towards her.

Faced with this fierce sword strike, Ye Qingzhou revealed a delighted expression: "Not bad swordsmanship, a clever combination of the wind and the forest."

Ding~

Liang Jia's sword was easily blocked by Ye Qingzhou. She gritted her teeth, urged her inner energy, and suddenly swung her sword a second time, trying to break through Ye Qingzhou's defense.

Wave after wave, triple attack!

The three bursts of power combined to create a unified force, which was already the limit that Liang Jia's body could withstand. The veins on her fair wrists were already bulging, her muscles were taut to the extreme, her blood and qi were surging, and her inner energy was surging out, transforming into sharp sword energy.

"Break it for me!"

The sword whistled as it slashed towards Ye Qingzhou; it was a strike powerful enough to cut through steel.

However, Ye Qingzhou remained calm. He raised his sword and first blocked Liang Jia's weapon. Then, as if drawing a semicircle casually, he easily deflected his opponent's all-out attack.

Boom~

Liang Jia's sword strike, guided by Ye Qingzhou, landed on the arena, creating a large crater in the ground. The force of the recoil even caused her blood and qi to dissipate, leaving her unable to sustain her internal energy.

"Oh no!"

She thought Ye Qingzhou would seize the opportunity to counterattack and end the match.

As a result, after suddenly stepping back five meters and creating distance, Liang Jia was shocked to find that Ye Qingzhou was still standing in the same spot, and his feet had not moved an inch from beginning to end.

Ye Qingzhou raised his index finger, his tone encouraging, and gestured to Liang Jia: "There's one more move."

"you!"

Liang Jia was furious, but at this moment she understood the gap between herself and Ye Qingzhou. It was as if there was an invisible chasm between them.

So unwilling!

Having shown my talent since the second year of junior high school, and having practiced diligently for several years, how can I stop here!

Taking a deep breath, Liang Jia quickly composed herself.

Even if she was going to lose, she would fight with all her might. Then she activated the remaining energy in her body, unleashing both the Wind Breath and the Forest Breath.

Ye Qingzhou, you dare to underestimate me? You will pay the price!

Liang Jia's unusual behavior quickly shocked the Baihelou and Lingshepai ​​talent scouts in the audience, both of whom showed expressions of disbelief.

"The advanced martial art, Heavenly Net Sword Technique?"

"Liang Jia actually has this kind of ability!"

"She's even stronger than Golden Dragon, how come she wasn't even selected as one of the top eight seeds? What is Mingjian Group doing?!"

Both of them couldn't help but complain that Huang Jinlong, the top seed in the Kan section, would probably have a hard time even qualifying now; it was simply outrageous.

Ye Qingzhou, who had acquired the intermediate-level martial skill "Overlapping Waves," saw that Liang Jia was preparing to unleash a powerful attack. Instead of interrupting her skill's pre-cast animation, he allowed her to complete the charging process.

"Ye Qingzhou!"

"Catch the sword!"

After gathering his strength, Liang Jia unleashed thirty-six sword energies from his body, which crisscrossed in mid-air, forming a net that enveloped Ye Qingzhou.

Although Liang Jia's move was not even at the beginner level, the power of a high-level martial art was not to be underestimated.

The sharp sword energy seemed capable of cutting through even steel, sending chills down one's spine.

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

With his sword on his shoulder, Ye Qingzhou silently channeled his inner energy, adopting the "Pan Shou" martial art technique he had learned from Gao Dong. His aura was as heavy as Mount Tai, unshakeable.

clang clang ~

Ye Qingzhou withstood the sword energy one after another. Although he had only obtained the Pan Shou for a day, he had already used it more skillfully and skillfully than Gao Dong.

"Three moves done, it's my turn."

After taking all thirty-six sword strikes from Liang Jia, Ye Qingzhou's figure flickered and vanished from the spot in an instant.

"not good!"

Liang Jia was startled by the strong wind coming from behind her, and raised her sword to turn around and block it.

Unfortunately, Pan Shou is a well-known defensive counterattack move among intermediate-level martial arts techniques. After absorbing all thirty-six sword energies from the Heavenly Net, it is now even more powerful and overwhelming.

Ding~

This sword strike was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter peaks. Liang Jia's weapon snapped in two, and cold sweat streamed down his temples.

However, Ye Qingzhou was no devil. He only cut Liang Jia's weapon in half, without killing her as well. He simply patted the beauty's shoulder lightly with the side of his sword, indicating that the battle was over.

The referee, regaining his composure, immediately announced, "Ye Qingzhou wins!"

Wow~

The audience erupted in cheers.

"We won!"

"We won again!"

"The player who advanced from the Kan section with a perfect record is actually Ye Qingzhou?"

"Oh no, oh no, I sold my house and bet on Ye Qingzhou, I'm going to lose!"

This was an outcome no one had anticipated before the battle began.

Even their assessment of Ye Qingzhou's combat strength was wildly wrong.

The gamblers, blinded by their losses, once again flocked to the official website of the sword fighting tournament to protest, practically flooding the comment section with their indignant cries: "What the Mingjian Group is up to?!"

Why wasn't Ye Qingzhou even in the top eight?

"With this kind of skill, you're telling me he's not a top-eight seed? I'm starting to doubt whether Zhu Jinfeng and Liu Dingjian can even beat Ye Qingzhou!"

Faced with the audience's questions, Mingjian Group simply shut down the comment section and pretended to be dead.

After all, unspoken rules are unspoken rules. Some things may seem insignificant on the surface, but once weighed, they can feel like a ton.

Now that the government of Dongji Kingdom is vigorously cultivating civilian martial artists, how dare Mingjian Group openly oppose it?

You can't exactly tell everyone that Ye Qingzhou isn't from a martial arts family and doesn't have a sugar daddy to spend money on promotion, so he's not famous and that's why he couldn't become a top eight seed, right?

After this battle, Ye Qingzhou became a top favorite to win this year's sword fighting tournament, ranking alongside Zhu Jinfeng and Liu Dingjian. After all, that sword strike that cleaved half the arena was truly astounding.

As for Huang Jinlong, he was much more unlucky. In the subsequent matches, he encountered Liang Jia, who was in a rage, and had to withdraw from the competition again. He became the only seeded player in this sword fighting tournament who failed to advance to the quarterfinals, making him the biggest loser.

…………

As soon as Ye Qingzhou returned to the hotel, she received a call from Huang Liwen.

"Old Ye is awesome!"

"You've won quite a bit of money, haven't you?"

"Haha, of course! I'm your dearest friend and family member, of course I'd bet on you to win!"

Huang Liwen laughed heartily, clearly he had made a fortune this time. He had bet on Ye Qingzhou to win every match from the beginning, and the odds of forty times made him extremely happy.

"By the way, Lao Ye, betting odds on you winning the championship have appeared now."

"Oh, so who did you bet on to win?"

"Of course it's Zhu Jinfeng."

"...Brother Wen, what happened to our beloved family and friends?"

"How can you blame me? I read several analysis posts from well-known commentators, and they all think Zhu Jinfeng will definitely win this year. Besides, she's a great beauty... Even though I bet on her to win, we're still good buddies."

"Thank you."

"Hehe, you're welcome."
