Chapter 17 A Great Sword Cultivator!

“Sizzle!”

The moment Ye Xuan drew his sword, Qin Yue’s hand which was only half an inch away from Ye Ling’s head stopped all of a sudden. In a flash, the whole right hand of Qin Yue just fell off his body!

Blood gushed from the wound in torrents!

Qin Yue’s face changed significantly and he retreated hurriedly.

He drew back dozens of meters, however, as he stopped, a faint Sword Light came right in front of him!

This Sword Light was not from the second sword strike, but emerged from the first sword strike!

At this moment, Qin Yue was nearly frightened to death. It was too late for him to think of anything else, he clenched his left hand into a fist and then struck fiercely forward!

This punch had almost used up all his effort!

At the moment of life and death, he naturally did not dare to keep any reservations!

As he launched this punch, a low explosion suddenly sounded!

The sword arrived!

“Sizzle!”

As soon as their fists touched, the left arm of Qin Yue flew out, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

At the same time, the whole body of Qin Yue was blown dozens of meters away.

Ye Xuan stopped striking because cracks appeared on his entire right arm at this moment and blood spilled out. Moreover, just after he used this sword strike, he felt that his body was churning, which was extremely uncomfortable. He even had a weak feeling in his limbs, as if his whole body was emptied out!

Extremely uncomfortable!

In the distance, Qin Yue looked at Ye Xuan incredulously. “Sword Light… You are a Sword Cultivator, how could it be possible… No, the Sword Light… You are a Great Sword Cultivator… No, you obviously are in the Qi Varying Realm just now. It’s impossible for you to send out Sword Light, you’re even less likely to be a Great Sword Cultivator!”

If you were able to master some basic Tao of the Sword skills, you could be called a Sword Cultivator. Sword Cultivators could be divided into Common Sword Cultivators and Great Sword Cultivators. When a Sword Cultivator could use the sword as a medium to send out Sword Qi and Sword Light, it meant that he had reached the level of a Great Sword Cultivator in the Tao of the Sword. Great Sword Cultivators were relatively rare. There were no more than a hundred Great Sword Cultivators in Jiang Country, most of them were more than a few decades old, but Ye Xuan in front of him was about 18 years old!

That was why Qin Yue was shocked!

Ye Xuan took a cold look at Qin Yue, “Why don’t you get out immediately?”

Qin Yue was slightly startled, the next moment, he turned immediately and disappeared from the sights of Ye Xuan and his sister!

Just when Qin Yue ran away, Ye Xuan instantly collapsed on the ground. At the side, Ye Ling was greatly frightened. She hurriedly held on to Ye Xuan and asked in a trembling voice, “Brother, you, are you okay?”

Ye Xuan forced himself to sit down. Looking at Ye Ling who was quite nervous in front of him, he managed a smile. “Yes, I’m okay. Don’t worry, now brother is going to meditate!”

After that, he slowly closed his eyes.

“Predecessor?”

Ye Xuan asked in his heart.

The mysterious woman said, “I know what you want to ask. ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’, this sword skill is too ferocious and ruthless. At present, your strength is relatively weak, such that you can’t bear its power. For now, your sword strike will cause destruction not only to your enemies but also to you. I imparted this kind of sword skill to you right at this time because I wanted you to know something: the Tao of the Sword often depends on your enlightenment; more often, it is an attitude, your Tao of the Sword will become whatever your attitude is.”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan fell silent.

Enlightenment? An attitude?

Why could he unlock ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’ just now? It was not because of his hard work, but because of his idea at that moment that he only wanted his sister to be safe!

As the mysterious woman once said, ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’ was not really a sword skill, but a sort of an idea of the Tao of the Sword!

The mysterious woman added, “The ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’ at your stage can barely be regarded as a Top-grade sword skill at the Occult Stage. You have not yet achieved Qi Harnessing Realm so you cannot really harness Qi, that is the reason why you suffered from a serious side effect. The Sword Light you sent just now was not cultivated by you, but came from the power of the sword itself. That was why you suffered from the side effect. After you send your sister to the Imperial Capital, you should go and look for new Spiritual Swords to consume so as to let yourself achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm as soon as possible.”

Ye Xuan nodded, “Understood! No wonder I felt like my body was being emptied out after I used this sword skill. It was extremely uncomfortable! But fortunately, my sword strike cut off both arms of that old man!”

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth curved upwards a little and a smile appeared!

The old man was in the Ascending Realm!

“Silly you!”

The mysterious woman immediately explained coldly, “That person’s realm was very superficial, but it is not something you can fight against right now. Half of the reason you were able to cut off his arms with one sword strike was because he underestimated you after you were beaten back by his slap. If he knew that you were a Sword Cultivator and was prepared, do you think that you could still cut off his arms with one sword strike?”

Hearing her words, Ye Xuan looked dignified at once.

“She is right, if the old man was prepared from the beginning, would I still be able to cut off both his arms with one sword strike?”

After all, he was completely defeated in the beginning when his punch collided with the punch of the old man. Thankfully he had achieved the Golden-Body Realm, or else that old man could kill him with that one punch!

The mysterious woman said again, “The gap between you and him is too big. You cannot cross two realms to challenge him with your current strength unless you can master one Rule for the Tao to drive the Prison World Tower within your body.”

The Rule for the Tao?

Ye Xuan earnestly asked, “Predecessor, I heard you say the Rule for the Tao before. What on earth is the Rule for the Tao? Where can I find it?”

The mysterious woman said, “When you become a Master in the Tao of the Sword, you will understand what is the Rule for the Tao.”

Ye Xuan, “…”

The mysterious woman continued, “There is one more thing, you shouldn’t only focus on your sister. The seal on the second layer already has signs of loosening. If you don’t improve your strength as fast as you can, no one can save you when the seal disappears.”

“The seal is loosening!”

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, of course he did not forget what the mysterious woman had said! The first floor held a Sword Lord who was dead already before he came… But the one locked up in the second layer was definitely not dead yet. When the seal was unlocked, they might kill him first!

Fortunately, he still had a little time!

Ye Xuan retracted his thoughts and opened his eyes. At this time, although his whole body felt fatigued and weak, he was much better than before. He should be very careful when he was going to use ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’!

If the opponent did not die within one sword strike, then he probably would be dead!

If the old man just continued to fight, he would most likely be dead!

The Ascending Realm was still at a certain distance from him. However, if he exerted his utmost strength, he might still stand a chance of winning!

At this time, Ye Ling suddenly asked, “Brother… Are you okay?”

Looking at Ye Ling who still looked very pale, Ye Xuan smiled gently, “Don’t worry, I just need a break.”

Hearing him say this, Ye Ling relaxed a little. Seemingly thinking of something, her look darkened, “Brother, I’m useless, I…”

Ye Xuan said seriously, “Don’t think too much. When you get better, brother will cultivate together with you. When you become a Warrior, you will protect your brother, is that okay?”

Ye Ling glanced at Ye Xuan. “Can I really cultivate?”

Ye Xuan smiled, “You definitely can!”

Ye Ling grasped both her little hands, and she looked determined, “Brother, I must become a super duper strong person in the future. I want to protect my brother too!”

Ye Xuan rubbed Ye Ling’s little head and said with a smile, “I’m waiting for that day!”

Ye Xuan did not know that the little girl in front of him would remember this casual sentence for the rest of her life!

After a break of two hours, Ye Xuan took Ye Ling with him and continued on their way.

Thousand-Mountain City!

Ye Xuan sped up because he found that Ye Ling even needed to wear thick clothes during the day now. Moreover, she needed two Life Nourishing Dan Pills each time to suppress the cold in her body!

At this speed, they would run out of Life Nourishing Dan Pills in half a month, but it was not the most important thing at present. The most important thing was that he was afraid that the Life Nourishing Dan Pills would lose their effectiveness on Ye Ling’s illness!

If that was the case, the situation would be extremely serious!

They must hurry up and get to the Imperial Capital!

Shortly after Ye Xuan and his sister had left, Qin Ba, the lord of the Qin Family, and Qin Yue whose two arms were cut by Ye Xuan, appeared in the lobby of the deserted mansion.

Looking at the two severed arms on the ground, Qin Yue’s face became extremely ugly, and Qinba’s face also clouded.

After a while, Qin Ba said in a low tone, “Is he really a Sword Cultivator?”

Qin Yue nodded. “If he is not a Sword Cultivator, how could he cut off my arms?”

Qin Ba’s fists were clenched and his face darkened like still water, no one knew what he was thinking about.

After a while, Qin Ba uttered a sigh and whispered, “We cannot get revenge for you anymore!”

Qin Yue looked gloomy and did not speak.

Indeed, a Great Sword Cultivator at such a young age, they were afraid at just the thought of that! How would they dare take revenge on him?

At this time, Qin Ba said again, “However, we should not just let it go. We can spread it around that Ye Xuan is carrying dozens of Top-grade Spiritual Stones with him. Upon hearing the news, I believe that many people will have evil thoughts about him!”

When Qin Yue heard this, his features slightly relaxed, “Exactly, although the Qin Family cannot continue to take revenge on him, we can make others do it instead.”

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, he looked towards Qin Ba, “Is that person named Ye Xuan? Is he a Ye Family member?”

Qin Ba nodded, “He was originally the Heir Apparent of the Ye Family. But after the Ye Family got Ye Lang, the chosen one, he was excluded and suppressed by his family. Finally, he was forced to swear to leave the Ye Family and so he is not a Ye Family member anymore!”

Qin Yue stunned and said, “The leaders of the Ye Family, are their brains all broken?”

Qin Ba nodded. “The Ye family nowadays has almost become the laughing stock of several nearby cities. You must know that Ye Xuan was challenged by National Warrior An in person. It is said that National Warrior An regarded him with special concern. What’s more, the vision of heaven and earth was attracted by Ye Xuan, not by Ye Lang. However, the leaders of the Ye Family believed that Ye Lang was the one who attracted the vision, they even had a big party to celebrate it… The elders of the Ye Family and their Patriarch were truly stupid, stupid to the extreme!”

Qin Yue nodded. “They are really stupid. How is the Ye Family now?”

Qin Ba said indifferently, “They are suppressed completely by the other families! Right, although I can’t pick on Ye Xuan, I can use this as an excuse to get some benefits from the Ye Family. Let’s go, go back and bring some people to square our accounts with the Ye Family in Qing City!”

After that, Qin Ba turned away.

In the field, Qin Yue glanced at his severed arms, and his look was quite complicated. He could not get revenge on Ye Xuan! He couldn’t get revenge not only for himself, but for Qin Chang as well!

Although he had a grudge in his heart, he was very clear that this should be the end of this matter!

As a small family, you must know who you could offend, and who you couldn’t!

If the Qin Family still wanted to get revenge, it would make the Qin Family fall into everlasting ruin! After all, Ye Xuan not only had marvelous strength, but was also valued by National Warrior An. It would be stupid if the Qin family still wanted to get revenge on him!

After a while, Qin Yue turned and left.

Soon after, people from the Qin Family rushed toward the Ye Family in Qing City…

They could not offend or get revenge on Ye Xuan, but they could do that to the Ye Family!
