Chapter 4782: Sword Madness Defeated and Retreating, Strength Comparable to the Seven Swords

Sword Madness is truly puzzled now.

I wonder if this black-clad sword cultivator before me is truly a contemporary heaven's pride?

How does it feel that his cultivation strength is absolutely not weaker than these heaven's prides of ours who have been buried in dust for so long?

Sword Madness straightened his expression, finally no longer looking down on Ye Guchen.

His eyes carried a serious intent.

Previously, when Ye Guchen dealt with the Heavenly Dao incarnation, he had not yet revealed such strength.

Ye Guchen did not answer Sword Madness's words.

Dugu Nine Swords.

This is a peerless sword technique he deduced himself by combining his own sword Dao insights.

Each of the nine styles has its own profundity.

The Breaking Sword Style just now was specialized in breaking sword techniques and sword qi.

And now this sword is another style from the Dugu Nine Swords, the Profound Sword Style.

Nine swords transform into nine realms; all things are born and then perish.

The sword momentum is profound, ever-changing.

Although Ye Guchen is now the inheritor of the Sword Ancestor.

But his sword Dao is not merely inheriting the legacy of the mortal Sword Ancestor.

He himself also possesses a legacy uniquely his own.

Such as the Dugu Nine Swords, the Myriad Gods Tribulation, the Selfless Sword Dao, and so on.

The Sword of Proving the Dao in his hand is merely a sword.

What truly makes its sharpness fully revealed is Ye Guchen himself.

"Come again!"

Sword Madness shouted angrily.

As one of the Seven Swords of the Sword Clan, he is actually entangled in combat with a contemporary heaven's pride of the Sword Clan.

For Sword Madness, this is a disgrace.

This thoroughly ignited the frenzy in his heart.

Boom!

The sword intent within his body surged upward into the heavens.

Originally crimson sword light suddenly turned deep red, as if endless blood flowed within it.

Behind Sword Madness, a huge sword shadow gradually emerged.

That sword shadow spanned the starry sky, with blood-colored sword qi of fierce and domineering nature coiling around its blade.

A peerlessly violent sword Dao aura descended with a boom!

Sword Madness's aura rose step by step.

He finally stopped holding back.

"Mad Sword Splits Heaven!"

A long howl, shaking the starry sky.

He suddenly slashed down with the long sword in his hand.

This sword had no exquisite variations.

Only a domineering, unrestrained, peerless aura.

But it is precisely this seemingly simple sword that pushed his sword intent and strength to the extreme.

Wherever the sword tip passed, space was torn open by a huge rift; deep within the rift, countless spaces were ground into nothingness.

The distant stars, densely packed, were all completely annihilated by the residual sword qi.

Ye Guchen raised his eyes.

Facing this sword capable of threatening top-tier monsters, his expression remained indifferent.

He did not retreat, gripping the Sword of Proving the Dao, and unleashed a sword technique.

In an instant, the sword light was magnificent, like the tribulations of myriad worlds.

The sword qi intertwined, as if transformed into a Thunder Sword Prison, its aura causing all directions to tremble.

"This sword technique is...!"

When seeing Ye Guchen display this sword technique, Sword Madness's face also changed abruptly.

"Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison Sword Technique, this is the secret sword technique of the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor!"

Sword Madness, being a member of the Sword Clan, naturally recognized Ye Guchen's this move.

It is the secret sword technique once possessed by the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor of the Sword Clan.

But the lineage of the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor has long since declined, hasn't it?

Could it be that this person comes from the lineage of the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor?

Ye Guchen swung his sword.

The sword light surged upward accompanied by vast thunder light.

The two sword glows collided with a boom!

Boom—rumble—rumble!

An unimaginable sword qi storm swept across all directions.

The violent sword qi clashed against each other, as if countless divine swords collided at the same instant.

However, they only held their ground for a moment.

Sword Maniac's face changed.

The Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor's Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison Sword Technique was inherently overbearing.

And the Proof of Dao Sword further granted this sword move tremendous support.

Moreover, Ye Guchen's own mastery of sword techniques had reached the pinnacle of perfection.

Under the accumulation of various circumstances.

This resulted in Ye Guchen's sword being unmatched in ferocity!

Sword Maniac's heart trembled.

He originally thought that after his emergence.

Aside from the Seven Swords, the sword cultivation talents and strengths of others were all inferior to him.

But this Ye Guchen before him could actually fight him to this extent!

"Break!"

Ye Guchen let out a soft shout.

Wielding the sword blade blazing with Lei Mang, it erupted completely, cleaving the red sword shadow that spanned the starry sky!

Boom!

Sword Maniac's body shuddered violently, his entire person shaken back thousands of zhang.

The long sword in his hand hummed incessantly, and even fine cracks appeared on the sword body.

And Ye Guchen merely retreated a little.

This sword actually put Sword Maniac at a disadvantage!

Sword Maniac halted his stance, staring fixedly at the distant Ye Guchen, his face grim and terrifying.

He had not been forced into such a state by anyone for a long time.

Moreover, he never expected that taking the initiative to strike would result in him being suppressed by the opponent instead.

"I underestimated you."

Ye Guchen did not respond, merely holding the Proof of Dao Sword horizontally before him, gazing at him indifferently.

Though silent, it conveyed utter disdain!

This silent attitude infuriated Sword Maniac more than any words could.

But he also knew that if they continued fighting, he might not gain the upper hand.

Furthermore, Ye Guchen was not merely relying on the power of the Proof of Dao Sword.

If he relied solely on the Proof of Dao Sword, Sword Maniac would find dealing with him rather easy.

He now realized that Ye Guchen's own strength was not to be underestimated.

Such a sword cultivator was indeed not simple.

Sword Maniac slowly sheathed his sword.

Yet his gaze remained fixed on Ye Guchen, precisely on the Proof of Dao Sword of the Human Sword Ancestor.

"Today's matter, I have noted it down."

"Ye Guchen, you had better understand one thing."

"The Proof of Dao Sword of the Human Sword Ancestor is not yours forever just because you obtained it."

"The karma involved with this sword is far beyond what you can bear. Your ability to retain it today does not guarantee you can do so in the future."

Ye Guchen's expression remained indifferent.

"Then there's no need for you to worry."

Sword Maniac's eyes twitched slightly.

He let out a cold snort, his entire body transforming into a stream of light as he vanished into the void.

Before departing, his voice echoed again, laced with undisguised coldness.

"Wait for me!"

"This sword can never be controlled by you!"

Ye Guchen heard this, frowned slightly, but did not pursue.

From the moment he obtained the inheritance of the Human Sword Ancestor.

Ye Guchen understood that his troubles would certainly not be few.

But given Ye Guchen's nature, he would naturally not fear these troubles.

On the contrary, he hoped there would be more peak sword cultivators who, due to the Human Sword Ancestor's inheritance, would duel with him.

That way, he could access more sword ways and hone his sword cultivation.

As for how the Sword Clan views this matter...

Ye Guchen has never cared.

The Sword Clan people originally did not hold him in high regard.

However, Ye Guchen also understands that afterward, the Sword Clan's Seven Swords might very well seek trouble with him.

Sword Maniac is absolutely not the only one.

Ye Guchen slightly shook his head, not thinking further.

He turned around, his steps pausing suddenly, and then spoke lightly.

"You have watched the show for so long—can you show yourself now?"

"Huh?"

A soft "eh" came from the void.

Immediately, a clear and pleasant voice echoed from the void.

I never expected to witness such a splendid sword duel here.

That voice sounded like silver bells, carrying a touch of cheerful laughter.

Although Sword Maniac is not among the strongest of the Seven Swords of the Sword Clan, he is by no means weak.

I never expected that you already possess strength comparable to the Seven Swords.

Truly not simple.

As the voice faded, a graceful figure emerged from the depths of the void.
