Chapter 825: Blade Intent Shows Its Might
Ye Liuyun could feel that Wei Pangzi's strength was also impressive.
Although he didn't know what his specialty was, at least in True Essence Quality he was no worse than Qiao Yunhai.
And over at Qiao Yunhai, he had already stood up. But everyone's gaze was drawn by Ye Liuyun to Wei Pangzi, so they felt great displeasure toward Ye Liuyun.
"What, does Young Master Ye think my sword intent is unfit to spar with you?" Qiao Yunhai said coldly.
Ye Liuyun glanced at him, hearing the discontent in his tone, but said nothing and simply made a beckoning gesture.
"Your performance should end here!"
Qiao Yunhai stepped onto the arena and said proudly.
In his view, Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou were hard‑fighting with their physical bodies merely to attract attention.
Only children resort to brute physical fights.
True masters defeat opponents with a single move. For example, his sword intent needs no second strike among his peers.
Ye Liuyun, having seen arrogant people, understood their mindset, so he didn't waste words and directly took the Demon Slaying Sword from his Storage Ring.
He hadn't been carrying the Demon Slaying Sword lately, keeping it in the Storage Ring, and during combat he focused on honing the Qiankun Palm.
Seeing Ye Liuyun draw the blade, Qiao Yunhai sneered and laughed.
"With a weapon, you'll lose even worse! Let you strike first, otherwise you won't have a chance!"
Ye Liuyun gave a slight smile and began to gather blade intent.
Qiao Yunhai was initially indifferent, but as Ye Liuyun's blade intent erupted, he was instantly shocked.
When Ye Liuyun gathered momentum, the blade intent immediately struck him, clearly also forming a blade intent seed.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun's blade intent kept soaring, soon surpassing his sword intent.
When he finally reacted and tried to draw his sword, Ye Liuyun's blade intent had already peaked, pressing so hard that he couldn't even pull out his sword, let alone defend.
Blade intent and sword intent are alike; someone with a higher conception can see through a lower one at a glance, whereas the lower cannot fathom how strong the higher truly is.
The arrogant Qiao Yunhai now realized that Ye Liuyun's blade intent far exceeded his.
The Marquis, the Princess, Wei Pangzi, Su Manning, Yuan Datou and others were also shocked by Ye Liuyun at this moment.
"So his strongest is still blade intent!" Yuan Datou muttered, a bit stunned.
But his voice is loud; even when talking to himself, others hear him clearly.
At this moment, not only Qiao Yunhai, but everyone in the banquet hall felt it.
The domineering blade intent emitted by Ye Liuyun made them all feel suffocated.
Princess Liang Xinyu was even more surprised. "I didn't expect his strongest aspect wasn't his eyes, nor his Soul, nor his Physical Body, but his blade intent!"
Combined with the various powers Ye Liuyun displayed, everyone now knows that none of them can match Ye Liuyun.
Some people immediately grew curious about Ye Liuyun's identity.
Logically, a genius this strong must be a prodigy disciple cultivated by a great Sect.
Although Ye Liuyun's realm is low, no one dares to underestimate him now. With his strength, eliminating a Martial Cultivator of Yin Yang Jiu Zhong would be a breeze!
Even the Marquis had his momentum somewhat suppressed by Ye Liuyun. Though he is of the Zao Hua Ninth Realm, he has never seen blade intent this strong.
This domineering conception made him feel his own insignificance.
In his heart, his resolve to win over Ye Liuyun grew firmer.
Ye Liuyun did not strike, because he knew Qiao Yunhai couldn't withstand a single blade. Once that blade was unleashed, even if Qiao Yunhai survived, it wouldn't be much better.
And up to now, under Ye Liuyun's blade intent pressure, Qiao Yunhai hasn't drawn his sword.
"After forming the blade intent seed, the difference between the blade shape and the seed state is astonishingly huge!"
Ye Liuyun hadn't expected such an effect. He originally thought Qiao Yunhai could at least draw his sword to oppose him.
He didn't anticipate that a tiny difference in the blade intent seed could cause such a vast gap in conception.
At this moment in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, the blade intent seed had fully become the shape of a blade.
While Qiao Yunhai was merely in a seed state.
Strictly speaking, the gap between these two states is as vast as heaven and earth. Many people never manage to nurture a seed into a blade.
However, Ye Liuyun was unaware of this.
What he saw was only a difference in form.
"Puff!"
Qiao Yunhai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, slumped and sat on the ground, his entire aura completely collapsing.
Ye Liuyun immediately retracted the blade intent and stored the blade back into the Storage Ring.
"I lost! I was defeated by sword intent!"
Qiao Yunhai was somewhat incredulous!
He could see a stronger blade intent on someone younger than himself!
From start to finish, Ye Liuyun said not a word to Qiao Yunhai, turned and was about to leave the arena.
Dealing with such arrogant people, the best method is to strike them in the face with concrete action.
Suddenly, a pressure from a Zao Hua Realm strongman surged straight into the banquet hall.
Then an elder, bristling with aura, rushed in.
"Which rabbit brat killed my son? Get out and repay with your life!" the elder shouted as he entered.
Ye Liuyun steadied his stance, surveyed the elder, and found he was of the Zao Hua Eighth Realm.
"Not a match, looks like I have to use the Foreign Tribe Soul within the Soul Banner!"
Only an Elder from the Chang Family arrived; even if the Marquis doesn't protect Ye Liuyun, he is not worried.
He only fears a group of Zao Hua Realm strongmen from the Chang Family coming to besiege him.
Fighting alone, he has the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, so he isn't concerned at all.
Ye Liuyun calmly stood on the stage, wanting to see how the Prince would handle this matter.
The Prince immediately stepped forward, expression unchanged, and blocked the space between Ye Liuyun and the old man.
"Clan Chief, every event has its cause; I hope you can understand. Please have a seat and speak!"
"No need! I only want to bring back the murderer who killed my son, to avenge him. The Prince wouldn't, for an outsider, damage the relationship between our two families, would he?"
The Clan Chief also noticed the Prince shielding Ye Liuyun behind him, and immediately understood the Prince was protecting Ye Liuyun, so his words were not very polite.
With the Prince standing in the middle, he could not act directly.
Even if he wanted to act, he couldn't defeat the Prince.
"Your son signed a life-and-death contract before stepping onto the arena. Matters among the younger generation are not for us elders to get involved in, right?" the Prince advised him.
Usually, when young people quarrel and have signed a life-and-death contract, the elders do not intervene.
But there is an unwritten rule: the two families' strengths are roughly equal.
The reason the Clan Chief of the Chang family came to find Ye Liuyun is because Ye Liuyun is not a local and has no roots here.
