Chapter 518: 0519 The Elegance of That Sword (First Update)

Ye Qiu came!

The most formidable young Martial Artist in the martial arts world faced directly the rising legendary master from the Land of the Rising Sun, Takuyama Shirai.

Many who saw Ye Qiu reacted as if they had seen a ghost. Setting aside Takuyama Shirai’s realm, it was only several years ago that he utterly dominated the younger generation in China, and he hadn’t set foot in China since. At that time, Takuyama Shirai lamented that among the young warriors of the Chinese martial arts world, there was no one worthy of facing him.

Now, this once-unmatched master had broken his shackles and ascended to the legendary realm, an existence akin to a myth.

Far from being scared out of his wits, Ye Qiu really showed up, ready to fight with his True Qi. It must be said, most people had not expected this.

To them, this was tantamount to seeking death; history had yet to record someone who could cross such a vast realm of strength, to overcome the strong as the weaker party.

"Am I seeing things? He... he really came!" A young Martial Artist rubbed his eyes, finding Ye Qiu’s presence surreal.

The brother behind him patted his shoulder, "You’re not seeing things wrong. This guy really intends to take down Takuyama Shirai. He’s insane!"

Countless gazes converged, some wishing they could peel Ye Qiu open to see what kind of confidence he had to challenge Takuyama Shirai.

At this moment, Grandmaster Qian Zhen stepped forward, sighing at Ye Qiu’s appearance, "How I wish you hadn’t shown up."

Ye Qiu smiled, understanding Qian Zhen’s kind intentions. If Ye Qiu had a few more years, perhaps he could break into the legendary realm.

But Ye Qiu didn’t choose a temporary retreat, to slowly accumulate strength to assault the legendary realm. Instead, being skilled and brave, he opted to engage with the legendary realm in person.

"Senior, I understand your thoughts," Ye Qiu said calmly, his gaze reflecting clarity and resilience, as he continued, "You stopped Takuyama Shirai for me before, and I, Ye Qiu, am grateful. But I will not evade this battle. If I cowered in front of a powerful enemy, then my martial heart would not deserve a higher realm. Born a Martial Artist, embarking on the path of martial arts, if a tiger blocks the way, I’ll punch it down. Even if it’s a fierce dragon crossing the river, why should I fear it? I will still punch it down. Please do not try to persuade me further!"

Ye Qiu’s gaze was resolute and his tone solemn. Seeing this, Qian Zhen sighed, folded his hands together, acknowledging Ye Qiu’s determination, "I wish you safe return from this battle, young friend Ye Qiu."

"Thank you, senior." Ye Qiu bowed with a fist in palm salute.

Chen Yifeng looked worried, but he didn’t try to dissuade him, merely saying, "Ye my friend, survive this, and I’ll await you with a drink."

Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, signaling to Gold Elder, Ren Hesheng, and several other seniors from the martial arts community of the north and south before slowly approaching Takuyama Shirai.

"The arrogant youth, you killed my disciple Jiu Zang, extinguished my country’s great Samurai Sato Ueno, and cut down my country’s swordsmanship prodigy. For these three grave sins, each warrants death as repayment," Takuyama Shirai listed three sins, enumerating Ye Qiu’s ’crimes,’ but to the ears of the surrounding Martial Artists, it only elicited a sneer, thinking to themselves that those three got what they deserved.

"Why say so much? I just say your disciples from the Land of the Rising Sun are lacking. Master steps forward, and if today I defeat you, I wonder if there will still be a master left for me to defeat!"

Ye Qiu didn’t care for the rambling. The other side was putting on the airs of a Grandmaster, listing his crimes just for show, seeking a pretext to kill Ye Qiu for the audience.

As Sima Zhao’s heart is known to all, to continue with such pretense only causes revulsion.

In this respect, Takuyama Shirai had lost the advantage.

Rather than that, Ye Qiu’s straightforwardness was refreshing — You want to fight? Then let’s fight!

Nevertheless, Ye Qiu’s witty and not unsarcastic harsh words elicited laughter from many.

Takuyama Shirai’s forehead’s veins throbbed, taking note of the expressions around him. Ye Qiu, with his boundless audacity, mocked him like this, yet Takuyama Shirai managed to not immediately explode with rage.

As a master of the legendary realm, his mental state had long been refined into a tranquil lake. Not even the death of his disciple Jiu Zang could stir ripples on its surface, it only fueled Takuyama Shirai’s intent to kill.

Intense killing intent, desiring to transform into a sword, to cleave the azure heavens thirty-three times!

"Fine, talking is useless. Once I sever your head, it will serve as a tribute to my disciple!" Gushan Baiyi didn’t bother to engage in a war of words with Ye Qiu. For a legendary high-level master like him, outdoing Ye Qiu verbally would be beneath the dignity of the strong.

Thus, taking action was key to solving all problems.

In an instant, Gushan Baiyi’s momentum roared forward with the force of a landslide, akin to a great mountain rising into the sky, crashing down with such ferocity that it made one’s scalp tingle.

The surrounding martial artists felt goosebumps all over, experiencing the terrifying power of a legendary realm presence for the first time. It was truly frightening.

These people were only at the very edge of Gushan Baiyi’s released aura; the one standing at the very center, Ye Qiu, what terrifying pressure he must have been enduring!

Everyone saw Ye Qiu’s body trembling ever so slightly, as though his legs could give out and he’d fall at any moment, and they couldn’t help but clutch their hearts in anxiety.

He wouldn’t be defeated so soon, would he?

Many people had this thought, especially after feeling the oppressive power of Gushan Baiyi’s aura, which was nothing short of astonishing.

With such force, one felt so insignificant, like an ant in the face of the heavens and earth. How could it vie with the world?

Unbeatable!

Many felt Gushan Baiyi’s aura and couldn’t even conceive of the idea to contend with him; if they stood there, they would certainly kneel and admit defeat.

Meng Pengxiao, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help laughing heartily to himself, "Ye Qiu, today you cannot escape your destiny. Seeking death by showing up here; Gushan Baiyi’s strength is countless times greater than that of the samurai from Japan. Did you think killing a Japanese samurai means you can challenge Gushan Baiyi? You’ll soon understand his terror. Opposing him seals your fate, and now your life is no longer in your own hands, but in those of Gushan Baiyi. Despair!"

Meng Pengxiao kept laughing triumphantly in his heart, thoroughly enjoying the moment. Although Ye Qiu had not yet knelt to beg for mercy, he believed that, in the end, Ye Qiu was bound to fall.

In the center of Gushan Baiyi’s oppressive force, Ye Qiu was experiencing a pressure that was tenfold, a hundredfold more intense than the rest.

Despite being at the peak of the late True Qi stage, he still felt this terrifying pressure, which made him feel a trace of dread in his heart.

The mountainous surge of Qi bore down on Ye Qiu, making it impossible for him to even lift a hand; if this continued, let alone fighting back, in a few more minutes, Ye Qiu would be crushed to the ground.

He couldn’t wait any longer; from this mountain-toppling pressure, he had to carve out a path to survival.

Ye Qiu’s heart was beating quietly; he could hear his heart slowing down under the pressure.

To everyone’s eyes, Ye Qiu struggled to reach behind his back, his hand grasping the hilt of the Kusanagi Sword.

Whoosh...

Everyone’s ears rang, and they saw a moon-like white light emanate from Ye Qiu’s back. With one swing of his sword, he tore open a gap in the massive oppression.

Ye Qiu had made his move!

With one strike, he carved out a path to life! As if a narrow path had appeared before his eyes, cleaved open by Ye Qiu’s sword.

This strike, was like the white moon of winter, shining so brightly before everyone that they could hardly open their eyes.

It could be described as: one strike of elegance leaving all trails behind, dimming the moon’s radiance before a crowd!

This aura, Ye Qiu had shattered it!
