Chapter 4288: A shocking start; not everyone can use Ye Guchen as a stepping stone

A sword was swung horizontally, the sword light splitting into millions, tearing through the firmament like a cascading galaxy, surging downward.

It was as if a galaxy of sword Qi had truly been unleashed with a single strike.

Such a technique was far too soul-shaking.

"How is it possible? How could that Mo Qingyun execute this move to such an extreme?"

Outside, everyone who saw this scene was utterly dumbfounded.

They even had the feeling that even if the Protector Sword Emperor Mo Su were to execute this move,

it would be nothing more than this.

"How could it be..."

Inside the Sword Dao Illusion Realm.

Mo Xuanfei saw this scene, her beautiful eyes likewise losing focus.

The move Mo Qingyun had unleashed, in terms of perfection, was surprisingly not much weaker than their father's.

Not to say it had reached the pinnacle of perfection, but it had definitely reached the level of absolute mastery.

But, when exactly did Mo Qingyun cultivate this sword strike to such a degree?

After seeing a glimpse of Mo Qingyun's strength,

Mo Xuanfei's mood was not the excitement, joy, or sense of vindication for her younger brother she had imagined.

Instead, she felt a sense of trance, and even a faint fear.

Recalling Mo Qingyun's attitude earlier, which had felt somewhat unfamiliar to her,

an extremely bad thought arose in her heart.

Of course, that thought was only for an instant before she dismissed it.

She instinctively felt that it was an impossible thing.

"Second Sister, is Little Brother's performance meant to give us a surprise or a fright?"

Mo Mingyuan's expression was also quite shaken.

Because at this moment, Mo Qingyun's aura already made even him feel a sense of oppression.

If he were to face his own younger brother, he estimated he would have little chance of winning.

Mo Xuanfei was slightly silent and said nothing.

"How could this Mo Qingyun's strength be so strong??"

On the other side, Shen Tianyu and the other imperial disciples also wore expressions of shock.

And that Fifth Imperial Prince was even more like he had seen a ghost.

If he had known earlier that Mo Qingyun possessed such strength,

no matter what, he would not have provoked him like that.

Next, Ye Guchen and Mo Qingyun's sword blades crossed.

A look of interest appeared in Ye Guchen's eyes.

Because he felt it.

This Mo Qingyun looked very young.

But his application of sword techniques and divine abilities was extremely skilled and seasoned.

It simply did not look like that of the middle-young generation.

That level of proficiency would be difficult to achieve even after practicing the sword for tens of thousands of years.

This made Ye Guchen's gaze deep.

He felt that this Mo Qingyun was very special and seemed to be hiding quite deeply.

The fluctuations of their exchange were also extremely intense.

Mo Qingyun looked at Ye Guchen with a cold gaze.

In his heart, however, he was still thinking about another matter.

Because, upon seeing Ye Guchen,

the Dao-Proving Sword that had always been hidden deep within his inner universe was faintly trembling.

It was as if there was something on Ye Guchen that could resonate with the Dao-Proving Sword.

This undoubtedly made Mo Qingyun increase his vigilance while also pondering.

"What exactly is on this person?"

"To actually be able to cause the Dao-Proving Sword to resonate."

The expression in the depths of Mo Qingyun's eyes was uncertain.

He did not believe that Ye Guchen would have any karma with the Human Sword Ancestor.

In his view, he, who possessed the Dao-Proving Sword in both lifetimes,

was the only successor of the Human Sword Ancestor.

And Mo Qingyun naturally did not know that Ye Guchen possessed the Human Sword Seal, which was also related to the Human Sword Ancestor's opportunity.

The two sword forces collided.

Such waves made many sword cultivators inside and outside the Sword Dao Illusion Realm somewhat dumbfounded.

It was normal for Ye Guchen to have such a performance; after all, he was a sword cultivator of the Vast Sword Clan.

But Mo Qingyun's strength left everyone stunned.

Outside, Jun Xiaoyao was also paying attention.

A smile was on his face.

Sure enough.

Mo Qingyun still couldn't help but expose some of his details.

Actually, according to the usual tropes,

it was nothing more than Mo Qingyun enduring for many years, and then, at the Sacred Sacrifice Sword Ceremony, stunning everyone.

Sweeping away all opponents and forcefully slapping the faces of everyone who looked down on or mocked him.

But now.

Mo Qingyun's opponent was Ye Guchen.

Mo Qingyun slapping others' faces was no problem at all.

But not everyone could use Ye Guchen as a stepping stone.

Clang!

Another collision of sword blades, and Mo Qingyun's figure retreated.

His expression was also uncertain.

Because, according to his script,

he only needed to show a little of his skills in the Sword Dao Illusion Realm to sweep away all sword cultivators and take first place.

Afterward, he could enter the Dynasty Secret Treasury.

But who could have imagined he would run into a sword cultivator of the Sword Clan?

Running into one was one thing, but it was actually such a difficult existence.

His gaze sank slightly, and Mo Qingyun's aura soared to the sky once more.

He swung his sword, the sword dao fluctuations within his body erupting like a volcano.

Accompanied by brilliant sword light.

Faintly, a golden divine palace appeared in the void, suppressing the nine heavens and ten earths, magnificent and boundless!

As the golden palace vibrated, ten thousand swords rang in unison, the world seemed to collapse, and cracks appeared in the void.

The entire majestic high peak was shaking incessantly.

"That is... the Sword Dynasty's inherited sword technique, the Golden Palace World-Suppressing Sword!"

Someone who saw this sword dao divine ability was also surprised.

This sword dao divine ability was the core inheritance of the Sword Dynasty.

Besides the royal family, only a few forces like the Protector Sword Emperor's Mansion could practice it.

And it was extremely difficult to cultivate.

Even some sword dao monsters found it difficult to fully unleash its power.

But right now, everyone could feel that the Golden Palace World-Suppressing Sword unleashed by Mo Qingyun carried an extremely rigid and yang-like domineering intent, and its power was extremely extraordinary.

Ye Guchen also struck at the same time, a streak of undefeated Sword Dao will spreading outward.

With a boom, the sword light pierced straight into the nine heavens, as if it were about to run through the entire universe!

One sword met Mo Qingyun's sword technique, instantly causing the heavens and earth to overturn, ten thousand zhang of sword radiance blooming, making the entire Sword Dao illusionary realm ripple in waves.

And amidst this collision.

Mo Qingyun was shaken back once again, feeling his arm holding the sword go numb.

He cast his gaze toward Ye Guchen.

Ye Guchen, in a black robe, stood in the air, the sword Qi around his body manifesting into thousands.

It was as if he himself were a sword that could sever the heavens and destroy the earth.

"Damn it..."

Mo Qingyun's eyes were heavy.

This Ye Guchen's strength far exceeded his expectations.

Especially in terms of Sword Dao, Mo Qingyun considered himself an extremely monstrous talent in this life.

He never expected to run into a monster like Ye Guchen.

Outside, Jun Xiaoyao smiled upon seeing this.

He knew that this Mo Qingyun must be hiding quite a lot.

After all, his performance was already enough to be astonishing.

It was impossible for him to display all his trump cards and methods in front of the public.

If he did that, it wouldn't be astonishing, but rather asking for trouble.

But if Mo Qingyun kept hiding things, it would be impossible for him to defeat Ye Guchen.

Because Ye Guchen had also never once displayed his full strength.

Furthermore, even if Mo Qingyun revealed all his trump cards, whether he could defeat Ye Guchen remained an unknown.

"He wanted to sweep through all opponents, win first place, and be astonishing."

"But he ended up running into Brother Ye, this big trouble."

Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

This Mo Qingyun was already so stretched thin dealing with Ye Guchen.

If he were to face him, he would probably be left completely doubting his life.
