Chapter 123: Green Wood Across the Sky

  A blue sword tip flashed out, and a vigorous breath burst forth from the blue sword tip. The vigor was originally the most beloved breath of all living things, because the vigor represented life, and life represented infinite possibilities. Who wouldn't love it?

  But Ye Chen felt a dangerous aura from this thick vitality, Ye Chen's black knife was like a sword, its sharp aura whistling out, the sound of clashing metal never-ending in his ears. The two people moved very quickly, the lush and vibrant aura and the extremely sharp aura collided, that lush and vibrant aura was directly torn in half.

  However, the blue sword energy suddenly burst out with a suction force, absorbing the same vital energy. Every person has vital energy, unless they are dead, and legendary zombies don't need this energy. When facing people with vitality, this suction force exists.

  Even the sharp sword energy emitted by Ye Chen became somewhat dull under this suction, although it was still sharp, but lacked a vitality, as if lacking a soul, becoming stiff and lifeless.

  The young man in green robes pointed his long sword, and Ye Chen's sharp sword aura was immediately dispersed. Ye Chen was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show fear. With a turn of his long knife, the black and white sword aura suddenly surged violently, and the second-stage Innate Sword Aura was unmatched in its sharpness.

  The young man in green clothes had a calm face, and the long sword in his hand also burst out with a green light, absorbing all the vitality around him. In the range covered by the green light, all the vitality was absorbed into it, making the green light even stronger.

  Ye Chen's Huajian Jue skill also absorbs the essence of all things, and compared to his opponent's sword energy, it has some similarities. However, Ye Chen now dares not to use the Huajian Jue skill, once he uses it, both skills will be used together, and Ye Chen himself cannot control himself, and may even die suddenly.

  Facing the opponent's sword energy that absorbed life, Ye Chen forced himself to transform his black and white sword energy into all-black sword energy. A cold aura emanated from the black sword energy, startling the young man in green clothes, whose face suddenly changed color.

  The young man in blue felt that the sword energy of his opponent had slightly decreased, but the cold breath was devoid of any vitality, just like encountering a dead air. However, the black sword energy was not quite the same as the dead air, it was even more chilling and gloomy.

  A black sword aura carrying a chilliness suddenly attacked the green-clothed youth, Ye Chen did not use the Jiuyao Sword but instead relied on his self-created swordsmanship to attack the opponent, the strange swordsmanship left the green-clothed youth at a loss.

  Having lost the ability to absorb the opponent's sword energy, this green sword tip can only consume its own vitality. Although the vitality has some suppression on the black sword energy, conversely, the black sword energy also suppresses the green sword energy in the same way.

  Ye Chen's strange swordsmanship was something the young man had never seen before. The black long knife was wielded with a ghostly elegance, and its black sword energy would occasionally flash out, leaving the young man in green clothes at a loss. Unable to withstand it, the young man in green clothes launched a powerful sword move and jumped out of Ye Chen's attack range.

  "Halt!" The young man in green robes looked somewhat unsightly. As a hunter, he had rarely encountered strong enemies, and those he did encounter were mostly powerful demons that made him retreat. He was confident and fearless against anyone of the same rank.

  But the man opposite him was also a congenital second-order, but he suppressed himself to death, which made the young man in green very depressed, and at the same time, he put away his small mind of looking down on others. Indeed, as Master said, there is a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside of people.

  Ye Chen stopped his long sword, looking at the young man in green clothes opposite him. As a fellow youth, Ye Chen was not a bloodthirsty person, but neither was he what you'd call a good person. When others provoked him, he wouldn't just stand there without reacting - that wasn't Ye Chen's style.

  "Do you still think you have the strength to come and take things from me?" Ye Chen looked at the young man in green clothes and asked with a smile.

  "I admit your strength is pretty good, but one day I will defeat you." The young man in green clothes said with a proud face, clenching his fists.

  "Hmm, well said. However, I have a bad habit - the way others treat me is the way I'll treat them. What's waiting for me anyway?" Ye Chen smiled and said to the young man in front of him wearing a green robe.

  The proud young man in green listened to Ye Chen's words, and his face suddenly stiffened, staring at Ye Chen with a foolish expression, disbelieving that the previous words had come from Ye Chen's mouth. Had he misheard? Did the other party want to rob him of his belongings?

  "Haha, you didn't hear wrong. You see, previously you wanted to snatch my things, but your strength wasn't a match for mine and you couldn't get them. Now it's the other way around, I want to snatch your things, and you can't beat me either. Hand over all the good stuff, or else I'll have to take action myself?" Ye Chen said with a smile.

  "Hmph, you really think you've won me over? Earlier I was just testing you out, otherwise do you think you could have beaten me?" the young man in green clothes shouted with a stern tone.

  "Heh, want to try again?" As he spoke, Ye Chen swung his black long knife towards the blue-clad youth in front of him, with an expression that seemed to say he wouldn't rest until he achieved his goal. It was as if the blue-clad youth only needed to nod, and he would strike, surrounded by a cold, dark aura.

  "Hmm..." The young man in green seemed to be choked, although he was probing earlier, but the opponent's aura oppressed him so much that he couldn't even wield his green sword, and his strength had greatly decreased.

  "How's your consideration going?" Ye Chen asked.

  "Don't be so smug, you think only I came here alone? The heavenly energy you attracted earlier has already drawn many people over. If you insist on fighting me, the outcome will only be mutual destruction, and others will reap the benefits for free." The young man in green clothes sneered.

  Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, and he sensed that there were two people who had not yet reached the Xiantian realm. Apart from these two, Wu Hen was definitely lurking around, but Ye Chen couldn't feel his presence. "En, what you said is right, but I'm a person who values reason. Whoever hurts me will be hurt in return, whoever wants me dead will be exterminated!" Ye Chen declared slowly.

  As Ye Chen's words fell, his black long knife went straight to the green-clothed youth. The black sword energy emitted a cold and gloomy aura. This was the first time Ye Chen had fully mobilized his black sword energy. The cold aura emanating from the Yuanshen Bell was circulated in his meridians by Ye Chen, suppressing his white internal energy so severely that his body became chilled to the bone.

  "You're crazy!" The young man in green clothes shouted loudly, raising the long sword in his hand to resist Ye Chen's attack. In the young man's mind, this unfavorable situation should not have been possible against an opponent like himself.

  Ye Chen responded with a sudden sword strike, black sword energy spreading across the long knife, making it look even more like a giant black sword.

  "You're ruthless! Ah...... Qingmu Hengtian!" The young man in green clothes shouted loudly, and his whole body emitted a green glow. A huge green light pillar enveloped the young man's surroundings.

  A blue light pillar compressed in front of the young man in green, surrounding his long sword, just like a giant tree trunk, emitting a strong sense of oppression.

  Ye Chen was shocked, this powerful momentum made Ye Chen feel a sense of crisis, but Ye Chen did not retreat, instead he also burst out his own powerful counterattack!
