The First Master of the First Volume Martial World Chapter 88 One Sword Soars with Blood

  Wei Peng made a gesture and waited quietly for Ye Wen to make a move. Although he was wary of Ye Wen, due to the difference in their age and generation, he didn't dare to make the first move.

  "Leaf Palm Gate, please enter."

  Ye Wen glanced around, suddenly saying: "Wei Duan's skills are unparalleled, if I don't go all out it would be looking down on Wei Duan." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back to the crowd of disciples, facing one of them and saying: "Give me your long sword."

  The disciple was taken aback, but his hands didn't slow down, directly handing over the long sword along with its scabbard, and after reacting, he added: "Please use it, Master"

  Ye Wen nodded and walked back to Wei Peng with his long sword: "The most powerful skill of our Shu Mountain Sect is the swordsmanship, and I am also best at it. If Master Wei thinks this is unfair, I can abandon it of course. However, there are still many other weapons in our sect, if you need any, just let me know."

  These words were spoken in a calm and composed tone, but they left Wei Peng speechless. He couldn't say that he had already used his palms to counter the enemy, so why did you have to use a weapon? If he said this out loud, it would weaken his own prestige, so he absolutely could not say it.

  As for using a weapon against Ye Wen, Wei Peng is not unfamiliar with weapons, but he has never studied them thoroughly, so at most, it can be said that they are just ordinary. Dealing with some small fries might not be a problem, but now he regards Ye Wen as an equal opponent, and naturally wants to use more familiar hand-to-hand combat skills.

  He thought about it and seemed to have no choice but to tolerate Ye Wen's sudden move to take up his sword: "No need to be polite, Ye Zhangmen. Today's match is only about winning or losing, let's not bother with trivial matters. Since Ye Zhangmen excels in swordsmanship, I naturally won't force you to abandon your sword and use your fists. I'm not that kind of unreasonable person either."

  Anyway, Wei Peng was very confident in his own claw technique, especially these two flesh palms. If he used his inner strength, ordinary people wouldn't be able to hurt him even if they were armed.

  "Leaf Palm Gate, please come out with your move!"

  "Then I'd be too impolite." As soon as Ye Wen finished speaking, his left hand slightly lifted, and at the same time, he activated the Purple Mist Skill. The scabbard in his left hand immediately took on a light purple hue.

  A burst of energy in his palm, the long sword in its scabbard was forced out by Ye Wen's inner strength. With a "ding" sound, one-third of the sword popped out of its scabbard, and the hilt stopped right in front of Ye Wen's eyes.

  This move also shocked Wei Peng, making his eyes jump. Ye Wen's move was clearly intended to show off the depth of his internal strength and how precise his control over his inner energy had reached, because neither of them could achieve what Ye Wen did - at least, Wei Peng asked himself if he couldn't do it.

  Wei Peng was still like that, and the people around him were even more shocked, with many narrow-minded people not understanding how the long sword had jumped out of its scabbard on its own.

  "Could it be that this Ye Palm Door is not a Sword Immortal?"

  Slowly drawing out the long sword, Ye Wen made a perfect display of composure. Finally, he made a starting gesture and casually tossed the scabbard aside: "Lord Wei Duan, I'm afraid I've offended you."

  The words had not fallen, and Ye Wen's figure flashed, almost in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Wei Peng's face, suddenly stopped, his body did not flash, his right hand holding a sword stabbed out, the sword momentum slightly upward, pointing directly at Wei Peng's forehead, making it exactly one move of Quanzhen Swordsmanship - Ding Yang Zhen.

  This move is not unusual, but it tests the swordsman's skill and demeanor. If the demeanor is insufficient, the Dingyang needle will lose its sense of determination, so it emphasizes that the sword movement is not fast, but extremely steady.

  If it were in the past, Ye Wen would absolutely not be able to use this trick's essence. Only since he started practicing with a heavy sword, because the sword was too heavy and couldn't be used as freely as before, did he gradually gain new insights into some of the inner meanings of Quanzhen Swordsmanship. Now that Dingyang Zhen has been unleashed, it truly is full of momentum.

  Wei Peng saw Ye Wen's sword coming, and before it even arrived, his forehead was already throbbing with a dull pain. He knew that this was due to the oppressive force of Ye Wen's sword, which had triggered his own instincts. Not daring to be slow, he shifted his feet and dodged Ye Wen's sword. After taking a step to the side, he immediately sprang forward, transforming his hand into an eagle claw as he aimed directly for Ye Wen's right elbow, where he held his sword.

  If this claw is grasped, Ye Wen's hand will probably be immediately scrapped. Especially when this claw secretly peeks at the many acupoints on Ye Wen's arm, once it is grasped, unless Ye Wen's skills are much higher than Wei Peng's, he will definitely not be able to break free.

  Ye Wen also knew the severity, but his facial expression remained calm and composed, the sword momentum in his hand had not changed, only his foot stepped forward, the long sword in his hand turned, aside from dodging Wei Peng's claw attack, he further slashed a sword towards Wei Peng's hands.

  This sword can be called ruthless, as long as it hits, the worst outcome would be a broken tendon, and in severe cases, it could even cut off his hand at the wrist. If this were an ordinary match, Ye Wen would never use his sword like this, but Wei Peng's kung fu was too ruthless, aiming to disable his opponent's arm from the start, so Ye Wen naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to still be polite with him.

  "Since you want to disable my right hand, I'll directly chop off your paws."

  Wei Peng did not expect that the master of Shu Mountain, who was still being polite just now, would be so ruthless after making a move, and his ferocity was no less than his own. He had originally thought that he could take advantage of Ye Wen's cautiousness to defeat him with two or three moves, and then directly defeat him. If he could disable Ye Wen's hands and feet or make him disabled, that would be even better.

  Ye Wen was not like those ordinary young martial artists, in Wei Peng's impression, every time they made a move, they seemed to be holding back, and most of them didn't dare to make a ruthless move when fighting. These people only understood that life-and-death battles and mutual sharpening within the sect were two different things after they had learned many lessons.

  This Ye Wen is surprisingly young, yet seems to be a seasoned veteran of the Jianghu, his moves ruthless and merciless, every sword strike aimed directly at himself, even the first seemingly polite move was actually a direct stab at his own head, clearly intent on ending his own life.

  Then, one after another, the moves of cutting wrist, chopping waist, slitting throat and stabbing heart were made by Ye Wen with great ferocity, making the originally quite orthodox Quanzhen swordsmanship seem extremely ruthless. However, even so, others who saw it would still not think that Ye Wen's swordsmanship was ruthless and unfeeling, for his calm demeanor and carefree attitude were very likely to mislead outsiders' perceptions.

  Only Wei Peng, who was in the midst of the battle, knew how perilous it was. Even his unique and powerful Eagle Claw technique couldn't be fully utilized. Up until now, he hadn't been able to execute a single combination of moves, as Ye Wen would always interrupt him with a ruthless sword strike just as he was about to make his move, leaving him no chance to showcase the intricate follow-up moves of many of his techniques.

  "irksome"

  After exchanging dozens of moves, the leader of the Tianle Gang's Pingzhou branch was unexpectedly suppressed by a young leader from an unknown sect. This situation made Wei Peng very angry, and in his anger, he decided not to hold back any longer, using his ultimate technique that he had been saving for self-preservation.

  Wei Peng swiftly extended two claws, one claw forcing Ye Wen's sword back, the second claw directly targeting Ye Wen's throat, forcing Ye Wen to retreat. Finally, he followed up with a kick, forcing Ye Wen to continue retreating, successfully increasing the distance between them.

  After doing all this, Wei Peng also retreated one step back, the rhythm of his breathing suddenly changed, and after taking a deep breath, he let out a loud roar.

  Only to see Wei Peng's whole body crackling like fried beans, especially those two palms, the crackling sound mostly came from his hands, and his clothes were also blown up by the air, the air that penetrated through his body could even be clearly felt by Ye Wen who was forced back.

  Originally, Wei Peng had a special internal skill called "Explosive Breathing" in addition to his unique Eagle Claw technique. This was a unique internal training method that allowed him to explode with powerful inner energy through breath control, instantly increasing his combat power and possessing extremely strong might, belonging to the extreme yang category of skills.

  The biggest weakness of this technique is that it cannot be used persistently, otherwise the powerful inner energy burst out will destroy all the meridians of the user. Since Wei Peng learned this technique, he rarely uses it, unless he encounters a particularly strong opponent or an enemy who must win at all costs, and usually only uses Eagle Claw Technique to deal with enemies.

  Alas, today he was at a disadvantage against Ye Wen in their battle, and he couldn't bear to lose to Ye Wen's sword, so with a determined heart, he brought out this life-saving secret technique. As soon as he made his move, the momentum caused everyone to gasp in unison.

  Especially for Lu Tian, who understood Wei Peng best, seeing that his own captain had actually used explosive breathing, he realized that the situation was worse than he had expected. The master of Shu Mountain's kung fu was so powerful? He didn't know that Ye Wen relied on the advantage of his weapon to bully Wei Peng and never let him get close, always keeping a very safe distance, which made Wei Peng angry and use his ultimate skill.

  Ye Wen also knew that his opponent was going to fight for his life, and immediately activated the Purple Mist Skill, circulating the true energy of the Purple Mist throughout his body. As he displayed his divine skill, strange phenomena began to appear all over his body.

  His face turned purple, the color deepening, and then his hands also showed a purplish hue. A faint mist surrounded his body, and with the purple light on his hands and face, it was as if he was enveloped in a purple aura. This was because Ye Wen's Purple Aura Skill had made further progress compared to the previous few days, and he was one step closer to the Great Completion Realm.

  The two masters have made their moves with their respective ultimate skills, and this is where the outcome will be decided.

  The first to make a move was Wei Peng, who used his explosive breathing technique. The speed at which he struck was greatly increased, and his iron claws flashed like lightning, attacking Ye Wen's eyes in the blink of an eye. This sudden attack even shocked Ye Wen, who had not expected Wei Peng's power to surge to such a level.

  "To be able to become the leader of a branch of the Tianle Gang, one must have some ability"

  With a long sword in his hand, Ye Wen wanted to force Wei Peng to dodge again as he had just done, otherwise this sword would directly cut off Wei Peng's left hand.

  But unexpectedly, Wei Peng didn't dodge or evade this time. The right claw that was lagging behind directly grabbed onto the long sword, and Ye Wen was caught off guard in an instant.

  All that could be heard was a burst of "zi la la" sounds, the long sword seemed to be clamped by iron pliers, emitting an ear-piercing sound, and the people present were stunned by this sound.

  Even Ye Wen felt a wave of discomfort in his ears, but he didn't have time to care about that. Wei Peng's claw grasped the long sword, and with his left hand still coming at Ye Wen's face, it seemed like he was about to grab him right on target. With Wei Peng's palm strength, if this one hit its mark, Ye Wen's facial skin would likely be torn apart, disfigurement being the least of his worries - a direct fatal blow wasn't impossible either.

  Did Ye Wen not think that Wei Peng's claw would be so powerful, did he think that Ye Wen's sword would be powerful? He only thought that he had used all his strength to protect his hands with a strong and fierce energy, and after grabbing Ye Wen's long sword, he could defeat Ye Wen. However, he didn't expect that Ye Wen's Purple Mist Skill was also extraordinary, even if the long sword was grabbed by the opponent, it was mostly because Ye Wen didn't think that this guy would actually use his palm to fight against the blade.

  But Ye Wen was not flustered, his left hand slowly and steadily slapped Weipeng's palm, the purple energy burst forth from his palm, and he forcibly slapped away Weipeng's palm. Then, with a burst of energy from his right hand, the long sword in his hand shook, and the originally tightly grasped long sword emitted another ear-piercing sound, and was actually pulled out by Ye Wen with great force.

  But that's not all, Ye Wen's sword was originally not going to hurt Wei Peng because after the sword was drawn from his hand, neither the blade nor the tip of the sword were pointing at him, and Ye Wen's posture when drawing the sword made it difficult for him to change his move. As a result, he didn't even think about dodging, but instead wanted to take advantage of Ye Wen's momentary lapse in defense to strike again.

  But what he didn't expect was that the long sword Ye Wen drew out had its blade suddenly bent in the middle, not due to a change in sword momentum, but because the sword body itself curved, and what originally would have definitely missed Wei Peng's sword blade ended up fiercely hooking onto Wei Peng's shoulder, adding to the curvature of the sword body, the sword tip was like the hook of a reverse hook, after piercing it also forcefully pulled for a moment, the pain caused Wei Peng's entire left arm to go limp, and even his internal energy dissipated somewhat.

  Ye Wen's sword had the upper hand, but he was not satisfied. Wei Peng's previous two moves had already made him deeply wary. He was now relying on his internal strength to force the long sword to curve and attack the enemy, catching Wei Peng off guard. If he didn't take advantage of the opponent's momentary loss of reaction to press his attack, then he would be a fool.

  The long sword rotated once in the air, and the blade that was originally bent returned to its straight shape with the elasticity of the blade. At the same time, the Purple Mist Skill was urged again, and the true energy circulated on the sword. The originally ordinary long sword seemed to be stained with a faint purple color.

  This sudden move even startled Wei Peng, who immediately came back to his senses and glanced at the long sword. He knew that this sword was Ye Wen's all-out effort, and if he was cut down, he would lose today.

  Just as he was focusing on his enemy, Ye Wen suddenly poured all his energy into his left palm. The purple aura that had been carefully cultivated inside him was now mostly concentrated in this one spot. His two palms not only turned a deep purple but also emitted a lot of purple gas that swirled around them. However, Ye Wen was so focused on his enemy at the moment that he didn't notice this strange phenomenon. Taking advantage of Wei Peng's distraction by his sword, Ye Wen's left palm slapped heavily onto Wei Peng's ribs.

  Slap

  The voice was not loud, but it made Wei Peng's face change greatly. He had originally sensed Ye Wen's palm strike coming, but unfortunately, he was distracted by the long sword and wanted to dodge again, but it was too late. In a hurry, he activated his internal energy to protect his vital organs and tried to resist with brute force, while both hands were already prepared for a counterattack, intending to fight to mutual destruction.

  Although Ye Wen's palm movement was slow and seemed ordinary, he had already witnessed Ye Wen using this technique before. Although it looked soft and didn't seem to have much power, when it hit its mark, the force exploded, extremely fierce. He really didn't dare underestimate it.

  Originally, he had already attached great importance to Ye Wen's move, but unfortunately, Ye Wen's palm not only used his full strength, but also brought out the purest purple energy. With a slap, the force burst out immediately, and the purple energy was directly hit into Wei Peng's body.

  "Hmm"

  Luckily, Wei Peng's own cultivation was extraordinary, and he used his powerful energy to protect his internal organs and meridians. Although this blow caused him significant internal injuries, he gritted his teeth and didn't spit out blood directly, only letting out a muffled groan. However, he knew that this blow had severely damaged his meridians, disrupted his true energy, and most critically, his explosive breathing technique, which was already difficult to control, had completely lost control. Half of the internal injuries he suffered were inflicted by Ye Wen, while the other half were caused by his own explosive breathing. Such internal injuries, even if he was optimistic, would take at least a year or two to recover from.

  But Ye Wen didn't want to let him off easily, taking advantage of Wei Peng's scattered aura, the long sword in his hand immediately came down with a slash, and surprisingly, he made a move from the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife, wanting to behead Wei Peng on the spot.

  Wei Peng's whole body was in a state of turmoil, his meridians and internal organs severely damaged, rendering him completely immobile. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Wen's sword descended upon him, unable to utter a word, silently screaming "Stop!" in his mind.

  Unfortunately, Ye Wen didn't have the ability to read minds, and he also didn't need to listen to his enemy's words. The sword in his hand didn't slow down at all. Everyone only saw a flash of sword light, and amidst the brilliance, a faint purple hue appeared, followed by a burst of bright red splashing out. The majestic Tian Le Gang branch leader was beheaded on the spot by Ye Wen.

  Most people were stunned by the scene, and even Lu Tian was dazed for a long time before he came back to his senses. When he realized what had happened, he wanted to say something but didn't know exactly what to say.

  Stammering and pointing at Ye Wen, he still didn't say a word in the end. It was only then that he realized he should probably leave as soon as possible instead of staying here to bicker with his opponent.

  But he had just turned around, and was about to use his lightness skill to jump over the crowd and leave Mount Shu, when he heard a voice beside his ear: "Mr. Lu, don't you think it's too late to want to leave now?"

  Lu Tian was stunned, and as he turned his head to see who was speaking to him, all he saw was a flash of silver light in front of him, like the starry sky, dazzling and extraordinary. All he heard was the sound of "whooshing" that seemed to go on forever. He lost all feeling, but just before it disappeared, the last thought in his mind was: "What a fast sword!"

  Seeing Lu Tian being beheaded on the spot, Ye Wen finally put his mind at ease. He looked around at the silent crowd and didn't say anything like "If today's matter is spread out, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword". He knew that this would definitely get out, so he didn't bother wasting his energy. Instead, he spent his time thinking about how to deal with the possible consequences.

  After all, his own Shu Shan Sect had killed two important figures of the Tian Le Gang in one breath.
