Chapter 247 - Duel of Swordsmen Seeking Monthly Tickets and Rewards

“Sword???”

“Young man, don’t think that just because you have some strength, you can act arrogantly.”

“I, Sato Sword, have practiced swordsmanship my entire life, undefeated across the R-country, yet you dare to use a sword in front of me.”

Sato Sword watched Ye Tian form a sword in the void and knew that the young man before him must also be a master of swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, his eyes sparkled with a dazzling brilliance, filled with passion and fervor for swordsmanship.

For the past decade or so, he had been in seclusion, practicing, without having a sword duel with anyone.

Today’s first battle was with a young Sword God—how could he not be excited?

Only such a fanatic could sit in a bamboo house for decades, diligently practicing the way of the sword.

Sadly, he bore intense murderous intent towards Ye Tian, so the title of Sword God would vanish from the R-country today.

This big tree was an unknown anomaly, several dozen meters taller than ordinary big trees, very peculiar.

With warships roaring, waves surging, and the sea wind howling, the branches of this big tree swayed with the wind.

An ordinary person standing here would already be dizzy, unable to stand straight in the wind.

But Ye Tian and Sato Sword stood firmly under a leaf, not moving an inch, as if their feet were rooted to the ground.

To Su Tong and others, they looked like a flagpole piercing the sky, standing atop the firmament.

Their clothes fluttered, reminiscent of Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, two peerless swordsmen dueling on Purple Gold Peak from martial arts legends.

Ye Tian held a sword in one hand, with the other hand behind his back, his eyes solemnly fixed on Sato Sword.

Out of respect for a fellow swordsman, even though he could instantly kill Sato Sword, he restrained his cultivation to the same level as Sato Sword’s.

Standing two paces apart, Ye Tian could hear the blood surging through Sato Sword’s body like a vast ocean, turbulent and fierce; he could sense the immense inner strength within Sato Sword’s body, as heavy as mercury; he could feel his spirit as solid as a rock.

Sato Sword indeed lived up to the title of Sword God of R-country.

Whether it was his physical body, spirit, or spiritual essence cultivation, he had honed it to the peak.

One had to admit, the Samurai Path of R-country was quite outstanding.

His swordsmanship was perhaps three points superior to Elder Jian’s before he received any guidance from King You.

However, Elder Jian’s current swordsmanship was barely on par with Sato Sword’s, comparable in all respects.

The cultivation system of R-country differed from Huaxia’s traditional Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang levels.

They adjusted their cultivation techniques according to their own, including various ranks like Sword Disciple, Swordsman, Sword Master, and Sword God, among others.

Judging by the abundant spiritual energy within Sato Sword’s body, it should be comparable to the level of the Dragon Family Ancestor.

But in terms of combat power, Sato Sword’s mastery of the sword could elevate his strength by a large margin.

Only at Sato Sword’s level could one truly become a Heaven Rank.

Although Sato Sword appeared old, powerful martial cultivators generally had long lifespans.

For example, Heaven Rank cultivators could live over two hundred years barring any accidents.

Given another decade or so, it was not impossible for Sato Sword to break through to the Heaven Rank.

“So it’s you!!!”

“But unfortunately, we stand on opposite sides, and there must be a fight to the death.”

“I won’t bully you; I will suppress my realm to match yours.”

Ye Tian shook his head slightly and sighed as his fierce aura converged, diminishing greatly.

Since practicing the ‘Creation and Transformation Heaven Technique,’ and with the recent acquisition of the World Tree, Devouring Divine Fire, and other supreme auxiliary divine items, he felt himself absorbing vast amounts of Sun, Moon and Stars Energy and spiritual energy from nature at every moment, his Creation Energy becoming increasingly abundant.

He didn’t even know how high his realm had reached.

Since breaking through his cultivation bottleneck during the Tagu Desert journey, his cultivation had been continuously rising without pause.

This was completely different from those novels where soldier kings come down the mountain.

Wouldn’t one normally find a woman and undergo various trials to break through bottlenecks?

His speed was simply too fast.

He knew his strength had increased multiple times since he first arrived in Yunhai City.

If he unleashed his full power now, the Sword God before him wouldn’t be able to withstand even a finger of his, dissolving into nothing in an instant.

“How long has that lazy Little White been asleep?”

“When the time comes, I’ll have to ask it about the subsequent realm divisions.”

As these thoughts flashed through Ye Tian’s mind, he continued to confront Sato Sword.

“Lord Sato, hurry up!”

“I’m pressed for time!”

Ye Tian smiled and cupped his fists slightly to show respect.

“Young man, at such a young age, you have such cultivation.

If you weren’t a Huaxia martial artist, I, Sato Sword, would definitely accept you as my direct disciple today.”

“But alas, the arrow is nocked and must be released, I must offend you, my friend.”

“To show my respect, I will use the Divine Swordsmanship I’ve comprehended over the past decade, an ultimate sword intent passed down by the Divine Martial Pavilion Master.”

“My talent is mediocre; I could only comprehend one form.

Shameful, indeed.”

“Please!!!”

Sato Sword gripped the Wave-cutting Sword tightly, his expression grave and solemn as he spoke.

The group beneath the tree was bewildered, watching the two men smile and signal to each other as if they were good friends chatting in the wind, making the scene awkward for a moment.

“Please!!!”

Ye Tian said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the tree trembled violently, leaves falling, and a murderous aura erupted.

Sato Sword leaped into the air like a great eagle, slashing backward with the Wave-cutting Sword, sending crisscrossing sword qi everywhere.

“Tear.”.

In the void, a whistling wind sound echoed, leaves hidden within the sword light, vanishing without a trace, soundless and invisible.

Suddenly, a massive sword qi burst forth from Sato Sword’s Wave-cutting Sword, instantly crossing over ten meters of void, slicing through the sea wind with an unbelievably fierce howl, slashing towards Ye Tian.

Before the sword even reached him, the air was filled with the roar of sword qi, like ten thousand horses galloping, overwhelming the area.

Ye Tian moved sideways, his white robe fluttering in the breeze, disappearing in an instant, reappearing thirty meters above his previous position.

Looking down, he saw the spot where he had just stood, the leaves being shredded into tiny pieces, and one could hear the sharp sound of friction in the air, like a blade scraping against metal.

Moreover, an immense and majestic sword intent enveloped the area where Ye Tian stood.

An ordinary person would have their soul and body shattered by the sword intent before the sword light even arrived.

“Quick reaction, but battles between swordsmen are decided in every instant.”

“Draw your sword, or you’ll miss your chance.”

Sato Sword looked up coldly at Ye Tian’s figure and said indifferently.

“Very well!!”

“Wind Shadow!!!”

Ye Tian charged downward, the White Divine Sword in his hand surrounded by a green aura.

Leaves whirled around him as the seawind charged at him at several times its usual speed, wrapping around Ye Tian.

Ye Tian hid within the whirlwind, appearing as only a shadow of the wind, fighting against Sato Sword.

The Creation Energy within him converged on his sword, a gentle breeze swept across the land, killing invisibly.
