141: Chapter 138: Battle of the Two Heroes 141: Chapter 138: Battle of the Two Heroes Just as there was a buzz of discussion below the stage, two figures suddenly swept out and landed on the platform opposite Ye Xuan.
This scene also caused a slight shock among the crowd.
The uproar stopped abruptly, and everyone’s gazes quickly fell on those two people.
Ye Xuan’s expression also tightened slightly.
The two people in his sight both had extrely strong auras, and they seed to be no less formidable than Wan Luo, perhaps even slightly stronger.
However, by the looks of these two, they clearly harbored ill intentions, with a touch of hostility towards him in their expressions.
“These two are no weaker than Wan Luo, only second to the True Disciples.
One is Ruan Jingtian, the strongest among the Inner Hall Disciples of Qian Hall, and the other is Xiang Fanchen, the chief disciple under Leng Ruofeng in Kun Hall.
Both are tough opponents.”
Seeing these two disciples suddenly appear, Xiang Qing also sensed that the situation was sowhat unfavorable and whispered to Ye Xuan.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and then he maintained his composure with a faint smile, “What brings you two here?”
“We were itching to test our skills after seeing Junior Brother Ye’s extraordinary strength,” the two said darkly, staring at Ye Xuan; they felt he was far too arrogant.
Having just defeated Wan Luo, he did not take them seriously, and if Ye Xuan were allowed to continue behaving so brazenly, all the new disciples might start disrespecting their seniors.
Hearing this, Ling Qianxue was slightly pleased internally.
She had been frustrated about nobody being able to handle Ye Xuan, and here were Ruan Jingtian and Xiang Fanchen, top-notch experts in the Heavenly Martial Hall, stronger than Wan Luo.
Their timing couldn’t be better.
“The sa rule as before, five hundred Xuanyuan Pills.”
Ye Xuan’s expression was indifferent as he raised five fingers, thinking it only logical to seize such a favorable opportunity.
Moreover, since the fight had already started, there was no avoiding the challenges to co; it was a perfect opportunity to establish his authority in the Heavenly Martial Hall and simultaneously boost the status of Yang Hall’s disciples, strengthening the hall’s prestige.
“Alright!”
Without hesitation, the two nodded, then exchanged glances, “Which of us should go first?”
“I’ll go first.”
Xiang Fanchen, a young man in blue, carrying a bronze spear on his back, stepped forward, intending to challenge Ye Xuan first.
“No need.”
However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
With so puzzled looks from the crowd, he gestured towards both challengers, “Both at the sa ti.”
His calm words spread out, silencing the last traces of noise instantly, rendering the scene completely silent.
Both at the sa ti?
Everyone thought they must have misheard, but seeing the expressions around them, they couldn’t help but bitterly smile, then their gazes landed on Ye Xuan, filled with disbelief.
Only a madman could make such a statent, suggesting he could fight two at once.
Did Ye Xuan think he was a True Disciple?
“He’s outrageously arrogant.”
Ling Qianxue couldn’t help but take a deep breath; Ye Xuan was truly one to never mince his words.
Just when she thought he couldn’t be more audacious, he always managed to exceed her expectations—there seed to be no limit to his boldness.
“Fighting two alone, his courage alone is unmatched.”
A spark of appreciation flashed in Leng Ruofeng’s eyes—not only did Ye Xuan’s actions not repel him, they actually stirred his blood.
Setting aside strength, his gall was truly admirable.
“Is Junior Brother Ye joking?”
Having heard Ye Xuan clearly, both Ruan Jingtian and Xiang Fanchen’s expressions suddenly turned dark.
Battling both at once?
Such words clearly showed utter disregard for them—an overt provocation.
“I’m not one for jokes.
If you two together can win, consider it your victory.
Alone, you wouldn’t stand a chance.”
Ye Xuan spoke calmly.
“Good!”
Fire flashed in their eyes, “Just hope later, Junior Brother Ye doesn’t lant the victory as dishonorable, that would be truly laughable.”
“Let’s see if you can win first.”
A battle intent gradually surged in Ye Xuan’s eyes.
Fighting two alone, against the best of the Inner Hall Disciples from Qian Hall and Kun Hall, this battle was undoubtedly not going to be easy.
Under the focused gazes from the crowd, only three figures remained on the high platform.
Ye Xuan versus Ruan Jingtian and Xiang Fanchen.
A fight like this was unprecedented before Ye Xuan.
Even Ling Qianxue, before becoming a True Disciple, had never attempted to challenge two top Inner Hall Disciples at the sa ti.
Ye Xuan was truly setting a precedent among the disciples of the Heavenly Martial Hall.
Opposite Ye Xuan, Ruan Jingtian and Xiang Fanchen both had very stern expressions, and their auras were pushed to the limit.
In this battle, they absolutely could not afford any carelessness.
Losing a two-against-one would undoubtedly make them stepping stones for Ye Xuan, who would beco a legend among the Inner Hall Disciples.
No one would willingly be a stepping stone for others, and in this battle, they would definitely give it their all.
Ye Xuan was bound to pay the price for underestimating them.
“The competition begins!”
As the voice of the managing disciple fell, the atmosphere on the platform instantly tensed up.
Boom, boom!
Just as the managing disciple’s words had spread, Ruan Jingtian and Xiang Fanchen suddenly burst forth with an astonishing aura, forming two extrely formidable semi-circular fields of energy.
In that instant, they elevated their strength to its peak, giving rise to a terrifying montum.
Ding!
Ruan Jingtian’s weapon was a finely-edged crescent scimitar.
As he swung it, the scimitar’s blade slightly oscillated up and down, emanating a chilling gleam that made people’s hearts tremble with fear.
“Junior Brother Ye, watch out!”
With a cold shout, Ruan Jingtian, wielding his scimitar like lightning, struck fiercely.
The blade of his scimitar seed to co alive, its movents light yet fierce traces in the air revealed the powerful force behind each stroke.
Swoosh.
On the other side, Xiang Fanchen also moved almost simultaneously, and the black spear on his back thrust out instantaneously like a raging dragon, clawing its way towards Ye Xuan.
Both of their attacks were incredibly strong.
From left and right, they created an imnse pressure that even the bystanders could feel, let alone imagine the trendous stress Ye Xuan must have been under facing it directly.
Such cooperation seed impregnable, flawless.
Clang!
Just as so were secretly worrying for Ye Xuan, up on the platform, a sharp and nacing blue sword got pulled out by Ye Xuan who then leapt up and swung the sword over his head, chopping down in what seed to be an ordinary strike.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
As the sword light fell, a huge Sword Qi over twenty ters long was also cast down alongside the Spiritual Edge Sword, slicing through the air in a straight line towards the middle of Ruan Jingtian and Xiang Fanchen, creating sparks.
Seeing this, both of their expressions changed.
They imdiately moved left and right to dodge the sharp edge of the sword.
Ye Xuan, however, managed to use the Sword Qi to cut a path and thrust into the position between the two.
And the enormous sword light also collided with Ruan Jingtian’s blade light with a crash.
Clang!
When the sword and saber contacted, they emitted a deafening tallic sound.
Ruan Jingtian’s figure was imdiately forced back several steps.
However, using the mont of their clash, Xiang Fanchen struck with a palm towards Ye Xuan’s back, attempting to deal a heavy blow to him.
Bang!
Just as his Palm Force was about to hit Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan’s left hand swiftly reached out, eting Xiang Fanchen’s palm and repelling him as well.
“One mind, dual purpose, seamlessly integrated!”
From the sidelines, Ling Qianxue’s beautiful eyes brightened.
Ye Xuan had almost simultaneously balanced the attack, clearly reaching a near-perfect level of dual-purpose realm, just like her, Ye Xuan too had mastered the seamlessly integrated Martial Arts Realm.
“No wonder he is confident fighting two at once.”
The seamlessly integrated realm was evidently very helpful in such a split-focus defensive situation.
Otherwise, even if soone were stronger than either of them, facing both together could prove overwhelming and lead to a defensive struggle.
“Sky One Absolute Void Saber Skill!”
Ruan Jingtian halted his retreat, quickly counterattacked, stepping seven steps in succession, and his crescent saber swung seven tis, turning the air in front of him into a vacuum.
Under this vacuum trajectory, the saber’s speed was fierce, and its afterimages heavy.
“Within Inches, Yet Worlds Apart!”
Responsive to the call, Xiang Fanchen imdiately cooperated with Ruan Jingtian’s attack, his ancient bronze spear tearing through the air with a shocking trajectory.
Under this path, the spear seed to flicker in and out of visibility, as if it were within reach yet also as far as the remotest corners of the earth, elusive and unpredictable.
Just as their onslaught whistled towards him, Ye Xuan’s toes tapped the ground, and his body soared upwards with the Spiritual Edge Sword releasing dazzling blue light, swirling around him and quickly producing six thick blades within the whirlwind.
“Go!”
With a fierce shout, Ye Xuan swung his sword, sending the six-bladed whirlwind suddenly sweeping out, growing on the spot into a sword-blade storm that swiftly engulfed and shredded the attacks of Ruan Jingtian and Xiang Fanchen.
Bang, bang!
As their assault crumbled, the bodies of both were blown away, a trickle of fresh blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.
“Terrifying!”
Witnessing the electrifying scene on the platform, many disciples also showed a hint of shock on their faces.
Although it was the sa move, the power Ye Xuan now demonstrated differed vastly from what he had shown against Wan Luo.
This was the true power of the Great Sword Scripture.
Seeing this scene, Wan Luo also let out a bitter smile.
No wonder Ye Xuan had fought him with just a saber.
If he had used this formidable power in their just-finished fight, it would have ended much sooner.
