Chapter Twelve: Ye Chen VS Rong Feng

  No matter what, Ye Chen has already stepped onto the arena. In the underground world, once you step onto the arena, there's no going back down, unless you're a victor or a corpse!

  Rong Feng also knew that the little guy in front of him was being secretly plotted against, and it was even the congenital strongman of the Su family from Xing City who made a move. This shows that the little guy in front of him had offended the core figure of the Su family!

  It seems that he wants to take matters into his own hands and deal with this kid himself. Thinking of these things, Rong Feng's expression lightened up a bit, being able to show kindness to the Su family was still quite helpful to him. Although his strength was not bad, but without advancing to the Xiantian realm, everything was just an illusion, life at many times was not under one's control.

  But if they were to get help from the Su family, that would be a different story. The Su family was one of the five major families in this Star City, and although they couldn't say they were invincible, many places still had to give them face. As long as they showed their good intentions this time, they believed their future cultivation would go much smoother.

  As he thought of these things, Rong Feng's gaze towards Ye Chen was no longer naked contempt, but rather tinged with a hint of pity. However, this expression also vanished in an instant. Since they were standing on the arena, it was a matter of life and death. The person in front of him was his enemy, and he couldn't afford to underestimate his opponent even slightly. This was something Rong Feng had learned from years of experience with life and death. He wouldn't belittle Ye Chen either. Before the host could even speak, a fierce and murderous aura burst forth from him.

  The host had already stepped down from the stage when he saw Ye Chen fall onto it, regardless of the outcome, getting on the stage to compete was a must.

  Ye Chen stood for a short while before feeling an overwhelming aura of killing intent approaching him. The internal energy that had just recovered was once again mobilized in an instant, his face turned somewhat pale, and his body involuntarily retreated two steps.

  Rong Feng looked up and saw Ye Chen's eyes filled with ruthless and bloodthirsty gaze! Ye Chen didn't say a word, directly drawing out his own black sword!

  As for the rules on the arena, Ye Chen was also very familiar with them. Once he stepped onto the arena, it was either life or death, and there was no allowance for halfway withdrawal. Since he had come up himself, he could only compete with Rong Feng to see who was superior!

  Rong Feng looked at the young man opposite him, who had directly drawn his long sword, and the momentum that was revealed also carried a bloody aura. It seemed that he wasn't an incompetent person either. This made Rong Feng even more satisfied. If it were an incompetent person, then even if he killed them, it wouldn't be able to highlight anything. On the other hand, the stronger his opponent was, the more killing him would be able to highlight his own prowess, and he would also gain even more attention.

  The two men didn't say much, but the atmosphere had already become tense from the start. Obviously, Ye Chen was at a disadvantage, which made the audience in the stands even more excited, shouting and cheering for the death of this young man that many people didn't know.

  Yè Chén's forehead broke out in cold sweat, the immense pressure forcing him to make a different move. The strange sword technique was displayed for the first time in front of everyone, Yè Chén's internal energy and mental state weren't great, but his sword technique was mysterious and eerie!

  Ye Chen's self-created sword technique was unleashed, and Rong Feng's momentum could no longer be suppressed. Rong Feng's expression solidified as he faced the young man, whose aura wasn't impressive, but his sword technique seemed somewhat sinister.

  As soon as the sword was drawn, its momentum was released, but this only made Rongfeng even more excited. Rongfeng swung his sword and a long sword with a bloody aura shot out quickly and accurately!

  The long sword pierced through, directly entering Yechen's throat. Yechen's understanding of swordsmanship couldn't be said to be unprecedented or unmatched in the future, but within the same realm, it was basically considered top-notch. If not for his poor internal skills, even facing Rongfeng wouldn't necessarily make him fearful.

  Ye Dun's head slightly tilted to the side, dodging Rong Feng's long sword. At the same time, his own long sword strangely emerged from under his armpit and pointed directly at Rong Feng's chest.

  Rong Feng was startled by the strange swordsmanship, his body leaning back, the long sword tearing through his clothes, leaving a bloody mark on his body! Rong Feng suddenly retreated, looking at Ye Chen with some trepidation. After exerting all his strength to make this one move, Ye Chen's body also felt somewhat sluggish and couldn't keep up with Rong Feng's speed, so he stopped in place to recover his energy.

  Ye Chen's swordsmanship caused many people in the private room to exclaim, some of them surprised by the young man's strange and cunning swordsmanship.

  Rong Feng was even more shocked. Although he didn't underestimate Ye Chen, being on the verge of falling into a crisis and even death as soon as they started made Rong Feng somewhat unable to accept it.

  He was comparable to a Xiantian realm cultivator, Rong Feng's eyes widened, his internal energy surged, and the long sword in his hand suddenly transformed into several swords in front of him, making it impossible for anyone to tell which one was the real sword.

  Ye Chen stood still, his long sword pointing to the ground at an angle, watching as the scene turned into a phantom-like illusion. Ye Chen could feel the ferocity in the opponent's sword moves, and if he was hit, it would be the end of him. However, this move "Sword Shadow Split Body" was one that Ye Chen had read about before, although he had never seen the actual sword move, the description in the book still existed. This move was very difficult to break through, unless one could enter a state of innate awareness, using their mind power to sense which one was the real long sword, only then could they break through it.

  Ye Chen's boundary was only at the sixth stage of the Mortal Dust Boundary, still far from the Pre-Heavenly Boundary. Breaking through such a sword move would be extremely difficult, but his research on swordsmanship allowed him to quickly understand what he needed to do.

  Only to see Ye Chen's long sword suddenly disappear, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of Rong Feng. For the unbreakable sword move, he could only use injury for injury, blood for blood, to make him give up on his own!

  Rong Feng's experience of life and death far surpasses Ye Chen's. When it comes to facing death head-on, Rong Feng is no weaker than Ye Chen. With a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, he faces Ye Chen's long sword without dodging or evading, but his own long sword continues to charge towards Ye Chen, as if they are about to perish together.

  Ye Chen's expression changed, in this situation, many people would involuntarily choose to dodge, but unexpectedly the opponent also had the guts to go down with him! This made Ye Chen feel caught off guard, but it was only for an instant. Immediately, Ye Chen's face turned ruthless, and the movement of his long sword didn't change either. Wanting to go down together? Fine, come on then!

  Narrow road meets brave wins, who can see the life and death clearly? Rong Feng is ruthless, but he values his own life even more. Although he took the initiative to attack, he hopes that Ye Chen will retreat, and then he will take advantage of the situation to counterattack!

  But the development of things was clearly not what Rongfeng thought, and the other party actually dared to die together, which made Rongfeng a little hesitant. When the sword tip was about to touch, Rongfeng's whole body turned around, his figure dodged to one side, wanting to avoid this sword, and the long sword in his hand still attacked Ye Chen like a ghost.

  In the midst of their exchange, Ye Chen knew he had gained the upper hand in this brief clash. With a slanted long sword, his body floated and dodged into the slight opening revealed by Rong Feng, avoiding his attack while leaving a wound on Rong Feng's body at the same time.

  Rong Feng's face changed unpredictably, having been hit twice by his opponent, yet he hadn't even touched the other person's sleeve. This made Rong Feng's face flush with anger, and he let out a loud roar, putting all his strength into it, each move filled with intense killing intent!

  Someone who can rival a congenital realm expert won't go down in just two moves. Although Ye Chen has a very deep understanding of the sword, when Rong Feng's direct slash comes over with great fanfare, Ye Chen is unable to use his footwork to dodge it. Originally, his internal energy was not as good as Rong Feng's, and his footwork was even worse. Simply relying on that pair of sword techniques' understanding can't break through this simple yet practical sword technique.

  Without much hesitation, Ye Chen could only swing his sword to block, the powerful force transmitted through the long sword struck Ye Chen's body, a mouthful of blood surged up uncontrollably, Ye Chen suppressed it and retreated violently.

  Rong Feng didn't hesitate, and with one strike, he took the upper hand. His long sword, still in the majestic pose of "Tiger Slicing Mount Hua", slashed down at Ye Chen fiercely: one slash, two slashes, three slashes...

  At the fifth sword, Ye Chen finally couldn't hold on, a mouthful of blood gushing out, splashing in all directions! By the seventh sword, Ye Chen's arm had been severed and he was unable to lift it, his face pale, his internal energy completely depleted.

  The eighth sword, Ye Chen's body was cut out a long blood mouth, and the white bones were exposed! The ninth sword, Ye Chen gathered all his strength to barely resist this sword, but was kicked by Rong Feng and flew out, heavily falling on the edge of the arena, pale face, spitting fresh blood, struggling to get up but unable to do so.

  Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart, and the voices of the onlookers shouting "Kill him! Kill him!" seemed to come from a distant place. Was he really going to die?

  Four years of hard work, four years of struggle, is it going to end here? And what about my little sister Xiaoxue, who will take care of her?

  "I won't die! I won't die!" Thinking of Xiaoxue, Ye Chen shouted in his heart. If he died, who would take care of Xiaoxue? The power of grief and indignation transformed into a driving force, filling Ye Chen's limbs.

  Just then, Rong Feng strode over to Ye Chen with a scowl on his face. Although this young man was not as strong as himself, he had still managed to injure him. If they were of the same rank, it would be one thing, but this guy was clearly two ranks lower than himself! And yet, Rong Feng had still gotten hurt, which made him furious with shame and anger!

  So Rong Feng didn't hesitate much, kicked Ye Chen to the ground and was about to end his life with one sword, having already wasted so much time, he couldn't afford to waste any more!

  Rong Feng raised the long sword in his hand amidst the crowd's shouts, and with little hesitation, he swung it down towards Ye Chen's head.

  At the moment of swinging his sword, a sense of mortal danger suddenly invaded Rongfeng's mind, and the instinct to survive made him hastily retreat, a flash of light flashed by.

  Many spectators only felt that Feng's sudden retreat was inexplicable, and then a light flashed by. The specific situation is not clear, and many people are still confused. However, many people in the private rooms stood up, and many ordered to investigate Ye Chen's background.

  "Y...". Rong Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, incredulously pointing his long sword at Ye Chen. He only managed to say the word "you" before his face twisted in a ferocious scowl, revealing his ruthless nature. With all his might, he hurled the long sword at Ye Chen, piercing through his chest and pinning him to the arena floor.

  Then only to see Rong Feng's head tilted, the entire skull and body split, a blood column rushed into the sky, splashing around, and fell down in everyone's astonishment.

  How did this happen? All the onlookers who were watching in stunned silence stared at the inexplicable scene, wondering how Hong Feng could have his head severed by a flash of light, leaving everyone with their mouths agape in shock.

  After Ye Dun exerted all his strength to make that one sword, all the energy in his body was exhausted. He didn't even have the energy to open his eyes and look at anything. All he could feel was a sharp object piercing through his body, without even feeling any pain. Everything went black before his eyes, and he knew nothing more.
