The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 160 - 159: Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier!

Chapter 160: Chapter 159: Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier!

Ye Xuan started with the Starting Heaven Shaking Gate!

Just the initial anomaly alone was enough to make people feel unbearable.

The terrifying pressure, as if the heavens were enraged, rolled over like a tumultuous Divine Sea, overwhelming everything in its path!

Everyone around felt the overwhelming suppression of the Sword Intent, but Zhang Yanliang, who was the first to bear the brunt, was completely immobilized, unable to move at all.

At that moment, Zhang Yanliang couldn’t even open his eyes; he could only squint, feeling the terrifying power of the world around him.

"How is this possible?!"

Zhang Yanliang’s heart was shocked to the extreme.

Why did Ye Xuan’s demonstrated power seem like a completely different person from just a moment ago!

If Ye Xuan had just been a Sword Dao Master who had achieved Great Success Sword Intent, then the Ye Xuan now was like a king among swords, commanding the swords of the world!

Just that terrifying Sword Intent alone was enough to make one feel unbearable.

Too terrifying!

"An unbeatable force!"

At that moment, Zhang Yanliang had no thoughts of resisting whatsoever.

Such terrifying power, if he were to try to withstand it head-on, he feared he would be severely injured in an instant, or even killed.

Although he had said he would withstand this strike, under the threat to his life, he dared not resist forcefully.

However, Zhang Yanliang found that he couldn’t move at all.

The invisible pressure had him frozen in place!

"This is bad!"

Zhang Yanliang exhausted all his tricks and found he still couldn’t move, which made him start to panic.

"It seems I can only use the Grotto Heaven now!"

Zhang Yanliang gritted his teeth and shouted.

Rumbling————

Following Zhang Yanliang’s thoughts, a distortion appeared in the void above his head.

Immediately after, surges of robust Life Essence burst forth.

It was like a volcano erupting!

"This is..."

"The Grotto Heaven that only those at the Sealing King Level would have?!"

All the onlookers were deeply shaken, staring intently at Zhang Yanliang.

The Earth Element Realm signifies a Sealed Marquis Level.

The Cave Heaven Realm, on the other hand, is the Sealing King Level!

After reaching the Cave Heaven Realm, one can open up a Grotto Heaven, significantly increasing one’s Life Force and lifespan.

The more Grotto Heavens a Cultivator has, the stronger they are, and the longer they live.

Zhang Yanliang was an existence at the Sealing King Level.

Boom boom boom————

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, three Grotto Heavens floated above Zhang Yanliang’s head!

Each Grotto Heaven burst with surging Life Essence, like volcanoes erupting.

With the emergence of the three Grotto Heavens, Zhang Yanliang’s aura surged wildly, as if he had undergone a transformation.

His whole being’s aura became different, bathed in the torrential Life Essence.

"Retreat!"

But this did not give Zhang Yanliang any confidence, instead, he chose to retreat at the first opportunity!

At the same time, Ye Xuan’s sword slashed out!

"Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier!"

Ye Xuan roared in a low voice.

Boom!

The seemingly thin sword Qi was instantly slashed out from his fingertip.

It seemed as fine as a strand of silk, but the force it unleashed was truly trembling.

It was as if a billion sword Qi had converged together to form a Sword Qi Demon Dragon, rolling through the void, shattering the void itself.

No, not shattering!

But smashing!

Even though it was sword Qi, it gave off a sensation of a blunt impact!

Bang!

In the void, an earth-shattering rumble erupted.

At that moment, everyone witnessed an astonishing scene.

A semi-transparent Sword Qi Demon Dragon tumbled through the void, charging towards Zhang Yanliang!

Rumble————

Almost instantaneously, the terrifying sword Qi struck the first layer of Zhang Yanliang’s White Jade Divine Shield!

The three-meter-thick White Jade Divine Shield couldn’t even withstand half a second against the blow of the sword Qi, instantly disintegrated, obliterated into nothingness.

And at this time, Zhang Yanliang had just managed to prop up his three Grotto Heavens.

Watching the White Jade Divine Shield disintegrate in less than half a second, Zhang Yanliang’s pupils constricted sharply.

Boom!

The sword Qi had already reached him.

Spurt!

The White Jade Divine Tripod crumbled like paper, instantly dissolving.

Then it was the White Jade Tao Pattern, lava-like armor, Spiritual Artifact Armor,...

All of Zhang Yanliang’s defensive methods were instantly obliterated clean under Ye Xuan’s move, "Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier."

Zhang Yanliang could already feel the sharp sword Qi nearly piercing through his skin, about to enter his body!

"Grotto Heaven!"

At the critical moment, Zhang Yanliang substituted his own figure with his three Grotto Heavens.

Boom!

The Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier struck the three Grotto Heavens.

An earth-shattering boom erupted!

"Blocked... Did it block?!"

All were exclaiming in shock.

"It actually blocked it!"

The students of Lie Tian Academy were ecstatic.

At that sword strike, everyone thought Zhang Yanliang was in trouble.

No one expected that at the last moment, Zhang Yanliang actually used the unique Grotto Heavens of Sealing King Level to block that terrifying sword strike!

"Hahaha, we at Lie Tian Academy won!" Everyone on the side of Lie Tian Academy was thrilled.

Zhang Yanliang flew in the air, gasping for breath, feeling a lingering fear.

Just a moment ago, he felt as if he was about to be crushed to death by that terrifying Sword Qi.

Yes, that’s right!

Crushed to death!

As if a giant hammer enveloped in Sword Qi was smashing down.

Extremely terrifying!

"So close————"

Zhang Yanliang let out a breath.

But at that moment, Zhang Yanliang suddenly turned pale, followed by a violent spurt of fresh blood.

"Pu————"

Zhang Yanliang felt darkness before his eyes, and waves of intense pain swept through his body, making it seem like he was about to collapse.

"How..., how is this possible?"

Zhang Yanliang’s vision darkened, but he also witnessed the scene that led to his despair.

Out of the three Grotto Heavens, the central one was directly annihilated.

Boom!

In that instant the Grotto Heaven disappeared, Zhang Yanliang passed out, falling towards the ground.

The other two Grotto Heavens also became dim and lackluster, no longer radiating light, as if they had exhausted their power and returned inside Zhang Yanliang.

"You’re not the first one who dared to use a Grotto Heaven to block my Sword Qi, but you’re relatively lucky."

Before passing out, Zhang Yanliang heard this sentence.

Of course, this was said by Ye Xuan.

To tell the truth, Ye Xuan had no intention to kill Zhang Yanliang.

Although Zhang Yanliang was very hypocritical, he was not as repellent as Lin Feiyan.

Ye Xuan didn’t even kill Lin Feiyan, let alone get angry enough to kill Zhang Yanliang.

Little did he know that Zhang Yanliang, out of fear, chose to use a Grotto Heaven to block Ye Xuan’s Sword Qi.

This was practically a death wish.

Grotto Heavens are one of the sources of a Cultivator’s Life Essence and are extremely important.

Once a Grotto Heaven is destroyed, it will damage the body’s foundation.

Yet Zhang Yanliang used a Grotto Heaven to block Ye Xuan’s Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier.

This bravery was certainly no small feat.

In the past, Ye Xuan had used this move to slay countless enemies.

Those enemies were without exception invincible giants!

There was a Sword Dao Demon Emperor who, facing Ye Xuan’s ’Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier’, had no solution and chose to sacrifice his own Grotto Heaven.

The outcome was predictable.

All the Grotto Heavens were destroyed by Ye Xuan.

The latter years of that Sword Dao Demon Emperor were unspeakably miserable.

Although Zhang Yanliang only had one Grotto Heaven destroyed, the Life Essence of the other two had nearly run out.

It was only because Zhang Yanliang was young that the Grotto Heavens didn’t collapse outright.

Even so, Zhang Yanliang didn’t have much of a future to speak of anymore.

Of course, Zhang Yanliang, who had lost the Spirit of the Void Divine Realm, had no future to begin with.

Even if his Grotto Heavens hadn’t been destroyed, Zhang Yanliang would never be able to reach a higher realm.

Boom——

Zhang Yanliang fell to the ground, creating a loud noise.

This battle had concluded.

Everyone was astonished, completely unprepared for this outcome.

Nobody, not even Zhou Zihuang and Hong Yunlie, had expected this.

At the moment Zhang Yanliang sacrificed his Grotto Heavens, they both thought Ye Xuan’s strike was blocked.

However, no one expected the situation to change so dramatically.

Zhang Yanliang, who had seemingly blocked the Sword Qi, had one of his Grotto Heavens destroyed.

"Yanliang!"

Hong Yunlie instantly soared up and rushed to the arena, helping Zhang Yanliang to his feet.

At the same time, Zhou Zihuang also landed beside Ye Xuan, softly saying, "Ye Xuan, you’ve truly surprised this sect leader."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and replied quietly, "Isn’t this the outcome that my father-in-law bet on?"

Zhou Zihuang also smiled slightly.

Indeed, this was the outcome he had bet on.

And indeed, he had bet correctly.

"Ye Xuan!" However, at this moment, Hong Yunlie let out an enraged roar, staring at Ye Xuan with the fury of an angry lion, and articulated clearly, "Have you knocked Yanliang down to the Earth Element Realm?!"
