This Lady Is Trying to Kill Me

Chapter 366: Eight-Steps Dragon Slaying (4)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Not only Ye Jingtang, but even Daoist Xuanji and the others were stunned by this scene.

Although everyone knew that the disciples of Jun Mountain Terrace would carry a secondary weapon to prevent them from being unable to fight if they failed to raise the Jun Mountain Saber, they didn’t expect that Xuanyuan Chao also hid a light saber.

After the clash, both sides stopped at the same time.

Mist covered Ye Jingtang’s entire body as he looked at Xuanyuan Chao in the distance and said, “Since you’ve lost the famous Jun Mountain Saber, then you admit that the Dragon Slaying Decree has been broken.”

“What?!”

Countless Jianghu people surrounding Jun Mountain Terrace only dared to breathe softly at this moment. They were whispering to each other and discussing animatedly, their faces filled with disbelief.

Xuanyuan Chao’s upper body was naked, and blood dyed the left side of his armor skirt red. He pointed his four-foot-long saber diagonally at the ground, his eyes still filled with arrogance. “I lost with the Dragon Slaying Decree, but I didn’t lose. The Dragon Slaying Decree was a saber technique I comprehended in my twenties. 1 waited for more than forty years for someone to break it. Do you think I’ve been stagnant for the past forty years?”

Ye Jingtang knew that it was impossible for Xuanyuan Chao to have only this bit of foundation, but he still said, “Since 1 can break Kuang Yazi’s Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade, 1 can break any saber technique in the world. It doesn’t matter what you’re holding back.”

“I’ve practiced the saber since the age of three, and the person I admire the most in my life is none other than Kuang Yazi. 1 also know the truth that ‘only speed can’t be broken’. The Dragon Slaying Decree could break the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade. It was indeed because Kuang Yazi’s saber wasn’t fast enough, and he hadn’t polished the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade to its peak.”

Xuanyuan Chao flipped his wrist slightly and held the long saber upside down in his left hand. “If I only practice the Dragon Slaying Decree, a faster saber will break it sooner or later. Only by practicing the fast saber can one truly achieve invincibility.

“Do you think you’re the only one in the world who has raised the saber technique of the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade by a level?”

“What?!”

When the countless Jianghu people watching from the sidelines heard that Xuanyuan Chao was preparing to use the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade to fight Ye Jingtang, their eyes were full of disbelief. But after they thought about it carefully, they found it reasonable.

For Xuanyuan Chao to be able to break the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade, he must have painstakingly studied it for decades. With his comprehension ability, it wasn’t strange for him to learn the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade after so much studying.

Although it was the same saber technique, Ye Jingtang’s qi circulation method was completely different from Kuang Yazi’s.

Xuanyuan Chao’s was clearly the same.

This act couldn’t be said to be a competition between fellow disciples or secretly stealing the technique. Instead, they each studied and comprehended according to the martial arts concepts of predecessors and created two new styles. They were competing with each other to determine who had comprehended the better new saber technique!

Seeing that Xuanyuan Chao was prepared to join him in using the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade, Ye Jingtang fell silent for a moment before saying, “The saber concepts of the Dragon Slaying Decree makes me gasp in amazement. It has its advantages and disadvantages like the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade, but they are all impeccable. They are the top saber techniques in Jianghu.

“If the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade can’t defeat the Dragon Slaying Decree, it’s a human issue. If the Dragon Slaying Decree can’t defeat the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade, it’s still a human issue.

“It’s a pity that you gave up the Dragon Slaying Decree and studied the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade instead.”

Xuanyuan Chao frowned and didn’t say anything.

Ye Jingtang stabbed the Hornless Dragon Saber into the ground and raised his hand. “There are thousands of martial arts in the world, and they are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. There’s no absolute distinction between strength and weakness. It depends on who’s using them.

“Since you’ll show me what the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade is, 1’11 show you what the Dragon Slaying Decree is!”

“What?!”

When the surrounding spectators heard this, they exploded on the spot.

After all, if one changed weapons after a round of fighting, losing both rounds would be a great humiliation, and one could directly commit suicide on the spot.

Qiu Tianhe was stunned. Although he knew that Ye Jingtang was domineering, he didn’t expect him to be so arrogant.

Teaching Xuanyuan Chao how to use the Dragon Slaying Decree and killing him with it…

Daoist Xuanji didn’t expect Ye Jingtang to be so arrogant. As she looked at the high-spirited, handsome young master in the arena, a strange glint flashed across her eyes.

If not for the fact that the occasion wasn’t suitable, based on her personality not taking things too seriously when watching the excitement, she would have said, ‘If you win, I’ll grant you a wish of anything you want’ to stimulate Ye Jingtang.

Unfortunately, with more than ten thousand people watching, Daoist Xuanji couldn’t mess around like this. She just threw the Jun Mountain Saber and shoulder strap to Ye Jingtang.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Ye Jingtang caught the heavy saber flying over with one hand, put on his shoulder strap, and hung it on his shoulder.

The wind and rain in the sky fell silent at this moment, leaving only the two people standing in the middle of the platform.

Xuanyuan Chao stood quietly in the rain with a frown, and his eyes suddenly lost the sharpness they had maintained for 40 years.

It was because Xuanyuan Chao actually discovered that the current him was indeed not the same as before he was 30 years old.

Before he was 30 years old, facing Kuang Yazi, who was still at his peak, he still dared to visit him with the Jun Mountain Saber like Ye Jingtang to see who should be the Saber Chief.

But now that he knew more and had seen more, his hot-headedness that wouldn’t turn back after hitting a wall was gone.

It was a good thing to know that ‘only speed can’t be broken’. But if everyone was enlightened and practiced fast saber techniques, and there were no fools taking other paths to study unorthodox methods, how could there be the current Jianghu where hundreds of flowers bloomed?

The arrogance and absolute confidence in Ye Jingtang was like an enlightening beacon, causing Xuanyuan Chao to suddenly wake up. He realized that he had been practicing behind closed doors for 40 years and had unknowingly followed the crowd and forgotten his original intention of practicing the saber!

If a saber user had self-doubt and no longer believed in his saber, how could his eyes show sharpness?

Xuanyuan Chao gripped the hilt of his saber. After a long silence, he took a deep breath and suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind. “It’s a pity that you were born late. After this battle, there will be no saber users in Jianghu who can be on equal footing with you and me. That feeling is invincible in the world, but it’s also indescribably lonely..”
