Almighty Sword Domain

ed this opportunity to close the distance with Yang Ye, and then the sword in its hand emanated sword images that covered the sky as they enveloped Yang Ye.

Yang Ye’s expression remained unchanged when sword images covered the sky as they assaulted him, and the sword in his hand left his grasp and shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Ding!

Yang Ye’s sword was flicked away by the Sword Servant.

At the instant his sword was flicked away, Yang Ye’s enormous fists had suddenly appeared before the Sword Servant, and then he smashed one of his fists at the Sword Servant’s sword while his other fist smashed towards the Sword Servant’s chest.

These two fists that suddenly appeared caused the Sword Servant’s movements to stiffen for a moment.
Obviously, it had never expected that Yang Ye would actually utilize his fists.
However, the Sword Servant quickly counterattacked.
The sword in its hand curved and stabbed towards Yang Ye’s chest at a strange angle.

A battle between experts could be decided in an instant.
Right at the moment that the Sword Servant’s movements stiffened, Yang Ye’s right fist had already blasted directly onto the Sword Servant’s chest, whereas, the Sword Servant’s sword had arrived before Yang Ye’s chest.
However, the Sword Servant’s sword had just pierced through Yang Ye’s skin when it was blasted flying by the enormous force contained within Yang Ye’s fist.

At the instant Yang Ye’s fist had just come into contact with the Sword Servant’s chest, Yang Ye relaxed his fist and pressed his fingers to form a sword, and then he swiped it lightly.
Two strands of sword qi stuck close to the Sword Servant’s body as it flew backward.
In the air, the Sword Servant’s speed gradually descended, allowing the two strands of sword qi to piece through it, causing the Sword Servant’s figure to gradually vanish.

At the instant the Sword Servant’s body and its sword vanished, a wisp of fresh blood flowed out from Yang Ye’s chest.

Even though he was clearly aware that this was an illusion and he wouldn’t die here, Yang Ye still felt the aura of death at that instant just now.
Just like the 17th level, if he was just a little bit slower this time, then he would similarly have to stop here.

Yang Ye picked up his sword that the Sword Servant had flicked away earlier, and then he sat down cross-legged on the ground and analyzed his own performance.

This battle allowed Yang Ye to realize that perhaps his sword technique was already not bad, but in that battle with the Sword Servant just now, his sword technique and he himself had many inadequacies.
His sword technique was inadequate in terms of speed because there were numerous occasions where he could only defend and not attack, and even if he noticed a flaw, he wasn’t able to strike in time.

His own inadequacies were in terms of lacking calm and composure.
Especially when he was in a disadvantaged position at the end of the battle, and he’d obviously become impatient at that time.
Even though the risk he took paid off in the end, it was something that he’d gambled on.

It could be said that he wasn’t satisfied with his performance in this battle because he didn’t like gambling.
If he was able to maintain his calm and composure, then even if he wasn’t able to defeat the Sword Servant with his sword technique, he would still be able to fight it for a period of time.
On the other hand, gambling stressed upon luck, and Yang Ye didn’t like entrusting his life to something as superficial as luck.

Looks like my combat experience is still slightly insufficient.
After I leave this pagoda, I must carry out a great deal of actual combat if I have the chance.
It’s best to carry out life and death battles with the Darkbeasts in the Grand Myriad Mountains.
Only ceaseless life and death experiences will allow me to become more and more stronger, and only then would I be able to open up a path onto that Ascension Rankings! After he finished summarizing everything, Yang Ye stood up and gazed towards the 19th level.
He’d already experienced the strength of the Sword Servant at the 18th level, and it could be said to be the strongest expert below the First Heaven Realm that he’d encountered.
So how formidable would the Sword Servant at the 19th level be?

This time, Yang Ye didn’t ascend to the 19th level immediately, and he sat cross-legged on the ground instead.
He utilized the golden Profound Energy to repair that injury on his chest because he didn’t dare to be careless at all when facing his next opponent, and he intended to fight that battle at his peak state.
Otherwise, it was very likely that the 19th level would be the last level he overcame.

While Yang Ye rested at the 19th level, Jiang Yuan had fought for almost four hours before stabbing through the Sword Servant after it revealed a flaw.
However, he was in an extremely sorry state as well.
At this moment, he wasn’t composed and carefree as he was in the past.
The clothes on his body were already in rags while there were even a few bloody marks on his face, and he directly fell weakly to the ground after he dealt with this Sword Servant.

After gasping for a few mouthfuls of breath, he said in a low voice, “What an abnormal Sword Servant and what freakish combat strength.
It actually almost killed a First Heaven Realm expert like me.
In the past, when Ancestor said that utilizing external forces to advance to the First Heaven Realm was flawed, he was probably right.
Alas, I shouldn’t have listened to my father and consumed a medicinal pill to advance to the First Heaven Realm!”

Yes, his cultivation had been improved through external forces.
At that time, he was clearly aware that it would cause imperfections in his cultivation, but he still consumed that medicinal pill in the end.
He’d done it for none other than reputation.
Because a ninth rank Mortal Realm expert at the age of 16 was already extremely rare in Snow River City, so what if that 16 year old was a First Heaven Realm expert?

If it was a 16 year old First Heaven Realm expert, then it would be extremely good even in an entire State.
For the sake of allowing his reputation as a genius to rise a level higher, he’d consumed that medicinal pill in the end and improved his cultivation to the First Heaven Realm.
However, he regretted his decision now because if he’d cultivated normally to the First Heaven Realm, then he would definitely not be reduced to such a sorry state by the Sword Servant.

“Alas!” Jiang Yuan sighed, and then he looked at the 15th level.
He hesitated for a moment before he revealed a firm expression and said, “Even though I’ve firmly occupied the first position now, if I ascend another level, then it would definitely arouse the attention of the Sword Sect’s elders.
I must pass through the 15th level!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground and silently recovered his Profound Energy.
