The Left Sword Star moved mysteriously, his red robe drifting through the vast grasslands, appearing ghostly to onlookers.
Yue Lingwei, despite his robust physique, moved with remarkable agility, exuding an aura of swift decisiveness. Whenever he was momentarily outpaced by the Left Sword Star, he would let out a loud shout and then surge forward like a shooting star.
Their confrontation resembled a sudden storm. Yue Lingwei employed the martial arts of the Cloud Sea Sect, surrounded by a layer of gray mist that resembled dark clouds. Occasionally, hands would emerge from the clouds, resembling lightning streaking through the sky.
Boom!
Yue Lingwei struck out with a palm, faintly carrying the sound of thunder. As this palm was unleashed, the wild grass within several dozen feet around him fell flat, creating a distinct circular area centered on Yue Lingwei.
Within this circle, the dark clouds formed by Martial Origin Power spread out rapidly, enveloping the Left Sword Star.
"Heh heh, mere tricks."
A cold laugh came from within the encircled Left Sword Star, followed by a swift sound as a cold light flashed by.
"Hmm?" Yue Lingwei's brows suddenly furrowed, seemingly taken aback.
Swish...
Another sharp sword qi howled through the air. The cold light within the clouds intensified, swish swish swish...
The piercing sounds of sword qi rang out in succession, and the dense dark clouds seemed to contract suddenly. Moments later, they erupted with brilliant sword light that shot out in all directions.
"Die!"
Left Sword Star shouted sharply, breaking through the constraints of the dark clouds. The long sword in his hand struck towards Yue Lingwei's throat like a vicious, venomous snake.
As the sword light in his pupils drew closer, Yue Lingwei felt a surge of alarm. She quickly plunged her arms downward, and with a fierce roar, the dark clouds surrounding her instantly converged like a whale sucking in water.
Ye Tian stood at a distance, watching the battle with a serious expression. He could intervene in such a high-level confrontation, but he must not act recklessly. Without careful observation and analysis, his impulsive actions would only become a burden to Yue Lingwei and could easily cost him his life.
After all, for a Martial Unity Expert to kill a Four-Stage Martial Artist, it could be accomplished in just a few moves if the opportunity was right.
Of course, while Ye Tian's strength was far superior to that of his peers and he would not be easily killed, disrupting Yue Lingwei's established tactics would still be an unwise move.
"Great Luo Heavenly Cloud Diagram!"
Yue Lingwei's roar echoed through the arena as the dark clouds around her completely gathered into one place, hovering half a foot above her head like lead weights, resembling the ominous sky before a storm—a depiction of oppressive dark clouds.
A glint of bloodthirst flashed in Left Sword Star's eyes as he flicked his wrist, increasing his attack speed by three points.
"Fall!"
Yue Lingwei remained motionless as she let out another furious shout. As her voice rang out, the hovering dark clouds began to press down violently. The seemingly fragile clouds descended with such force that they caused the wild grass on the ground to sway wildly.
Left Sword Star found himself enveloped in the Cloud Pattern; his long hair and red robe billowed uncontrollably under the fierce downward pressure. Yet his sword momentum did not falter; it continued to strike towards Yue Lingwei's throat like a flash of lightning.
"Not good!" Ye Tian exclaimed upon seeing the situation. Given the current circumstances, Yue Lingwei could not stop Left Sword Star's fierce strike.
Clearly, Yue Lingwei had also realized this. Left Sword Star advanced like a hot knife through butter, and the layers of dark clouds offered no resistance.
"Rising Winds and Gathering Clouds!"
Realizing the dire situation, Yue Lingwei immediately changed her technique. With her arms swirling wildly, the previously descending clouds suddenly became agitated.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind howled, and all the mist began to gather and swirl around her body. In an instant, it formed into rolling waves of clouds that surged toward Left Sword Star.
With this move, a hint of seriousness finally appeared in Left Sword Star's eyes. During their last confrontation, he had been injured under Yue Lingwei's Rising Winds and Gathering Clouds.
"Left Sword Star, come on! Show me your progress!"
Yue Lingwei's confidence surged as she stood amidst the raging winds, her deep voice resonating like thunder across the vast grasslands.
"Hmph..."
Left Sword Star narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a disdainful sneer. Then, his figure flipped in mid-air, and his sword let out a cry like an Azure Dragon as a pure white sword energy shot forth.
That sword energy resembled a white flame, churning with shockwaves as it cleaved through the void toward the vast dark clouds.
The dark clouds caused the wild grass to be uprooted. The sword energy left a deep scar on the ground as it passed.
Ye Tian's heartbeat quickened; after this move, it was likely that a victor would soon emerge.
Both the dark clouds and the sword energy moved at incredible speeds, closing the already short distance in an instant. However, when they collided, there was no earth-shattering sound, only a silent clash.
The sword energy easily sliced through the clouds, and even after being cut, the clouds did not dissipate, continuing to press forward in their attack.
Sizzle...
A spray of blood erupted; although Yue Lingwei tried her best to evade, she still suffered a grievous wound on her chest from the sword energy.
Puff!
On the other side, Left Sword Star was not faring any better. He was crushed under the weight of the clouds, his bones cracking, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly gravely injured.
"Brother Yue!" Ye Tian rushed to Yue Lingwei's side and caught her just as she was about to fall.
"I'm fine..." Yue Lingwei's chest wound was gaping, but Ye Tian could tell it was merely superficial. The sword energy from Left Sword Star was certainly not so simple; it must contain some strange power.
"Hehehe... very good..." Left Sword Star knelt on the ground with his long sword propped up, his long black hair disheveled and mingling with his blood-red robe and pale face. At first glance, he gave off an oddly unsettling aura.
"Stop pretending!" Yue Lingwei scoffed coldly. The situation now mirrored their last confrontation, where both ended up too exhausted to continue fighting and ultimately chose to retreat after weighing their options.
Because they all believed that the next time they met, they would definitely kill each other, there was no need to fight to the death.
"Left Sword Star, you're acting quite unusual this time. Why didn't you go after my brother first?" Yue Lingwei sneered after a cold snort. In their previous encounters, Left Sword Star always chose to deal with those around Yue Lingwei first before confidently confronting him, fearing a situation where both would suffer.
At present, both Yue Lingwei and Left Sword Star were in a state of exhaustion, but today was different; Yue Lingwei had Ye Tian's assistance, making the situation dire for Left Sword Star.
"Heh heh, unusual? Haven't you heard that when things are out of the ordinary, there's bound to be something strange?" Left Sword Star smiled mysteriously, slowly raising his pale face, his eyes reflecting an unusual light.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingwei's body trembled. Indeed, since seeing Left Sword Star today, he felt that this person was somewhat different from before, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly how.
"Little brother, you must be Ye Tian, right?" Left Sword Star no longer paid attention to Yue Lingwei and instead looked at Ye Tian with interest.
This question had already been asked by Left Sword Star upon their first meeting, but Ye Tian did not respond. Clearly, he must have come on behalf of Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters and should be well aware of his own identity; thus, this question was merely redundant.
"Heh heh, quite the temper you have," Left Sword Star remarked as he saw Ye Tian still not answering, a sinister smile appearing on his pale face.
"Left Sword Star, you sure are talkative today!" Yue Lingwei gestured for Ye Tian to help him sit down. He did not wish to hide his injuries because he was confident in himself; having been crushed by Rising Winds and Gathering Clouds, Left Sword Star's injuries were definitely more severe than his own.
"Is that so?" Left Sword Star seemed quite interested. "We've known each other for quite a while now, haven't we?"
"Exactly five years—one battle each year, totaling five battles!" Yue Lingwei answered without hesitation. Over these five years, Left Sword Star had always been his greatest enemy and the best opponent to validate his progress. The same could be said for Left Sword Star.
Upon hearing this, Left Sword Star appeared somewhat sentimental and sighed, "Alas... but today we must come to a conclusion. To be honest, at this moment, I find it hard to strike."
"Are you confused because your injuries are too severe?" As old rivals, Yue Lingwei could tell that Left Sword Star was putting on an act. They both wished they could tear each other to shreds.
Left Sword Star sneered and shifted his gaze back to Ye Tian, asking, "Little brother, I am forced into this situation today. After all, I have benefited from others, so I must help them relieve their worries."
"You won't blame me, will you?" Left Sword Star smiled sinisterly, his eyes already beginning to show traces of murderous intent.
"Of course not." Ye Tian finally spoke. He frowned as he looked at Left Sword Star while concentrating on sensing the power within him.
The situation was far from what he had imagined. Ye Tian sensed a force within Left Sword Star that was slowly reviving. Although he couldn't discern the specifics, he could confirm one thing: this power definitely did not belong to Martial Sovereign.
Yue Lingwei possessed the strength of Martial Unity Definition and was not inferior to Ye Tian in terms of perception. However, judging by his expression, he seemed completely unaware of the strange power within Left Sword Star, further validating Ye Tian's conclusion.
"Heh heh, little brother, did you sense something?" Left Sword Star's gaze turned slightly heated as he looked at Ye Tian, seemingly surprised that this young man could perceive his power.
"It's just a low-level Evil Scriptures; there's no need to pretend it's mysterious. Feel free to use any tricks you have," Ye Tian snorted coldly. All martial arts ultimately stemmed from Spirit Martial Dark Three Sects. With his mastery of all three schools, if he couldn't sense this anomaly, it would be a waste of resources.
"What's wrong?" Although Yue Lingwei felt confused, he still sensed something unusual from Ye Tian's serious expression.
"Nothing." Ye Tian slowly shook his head and took a deep breath. Yue Lingwei was already too weak to continue fighting; as for Left Sword Star's hidden cards, it would be up to him to turn the tide.
