Chapter 491 – Hostage! (1/2)

Yang Ye swept the surroundings with his gaze, and he noticed that there were Exalt Realm experts all around the s.h.i.+p. There were four at the fifth rank of the Exalt Realm, a single sixth rank Exalt Realm expert, and the rest were first to fourth rank Exalt Realm experts. Moreover, there were 3 other s.h.i.+ps on either side and behind the s.h.i.+p he was on, and there were countless Spirit Realm profounders on these s.h.i.+ps….

Over 20 Exalt Realm experts, over a hundred Spirit Realm experts…. How do I flee from such a force?

At this moment, a powerless feeling had arisen in Yang Ye’s heart again. His enemies were too huge in number and too strong, and he was still too weak in the end!

“You refuse to take your own life? Then I won’t hold back.” Yuan Yan raised his right hand slowly, causing a wave of fluctuation to arise in s.p.a.ce.

“Wait!” Right at this moment, the young man by the veiled woman’s side had suddenly stepped forward.

Yang Ye glanced at the young man before he took a glance at the woman, and then he seemed to have thought of something, causing a wisp of a mysterious smile to immediately arise on the corners of his mouth.

The veiled woman frowned and said, “What are you doing?”

Yuan Yan said, “Young Master Ye, this is a matter between Yang Ye and us. I hope Young Master Ye doesn’t interfere.”

The young man smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Senior. I have no intention to protect Yang Ye. It’s just that I heard he’s the Sword Emperor of this era who possesses peerless attainments in the Sword Dao and the strongest amongst the sword cultivators of the younger generation. I, Ye Liangchen, am not convinced of that at all. Since I’ve encountered him today, I intend to have a little compet.i.tion with him. After all, he’s going to die in a moment. So, I wouldn’t have another chance if I were to miss this opportunity. Thus, I hope Senior can fulfil my wis.h.!.+”

“You intend to challenge Yang Ye?” Yuan Yan spoke with astonishment.

The young man nodded and said, “Of course!”

Yuan Yan glanced at the young man. He knew that this fellow before him intended to use Yang Ye to make a name for himself. If he killed Yang Ye or defeated Yang Ye, then his reputation would definitely shock the entire southern territory and Ocean of Anarchy! However, could he defeat Yang Ye? In any case, Yuan Yan didn’t believe that Ye Liangchen could. Because if Yang Ye was so easy to defeat, then the Mortal Emperor wouldn’t have sent so many of them here.

Ye Liangchen continued. “Senior, please give my Ocean of Clouds Merchant Group some face and fulfil this wish of mine! In any case, Yang Ye won’t be able to escape regardless of whether I win or lose, right?”

Yuan Yan pondered deeply for a moment before he said, “Since Young Master Ye is so confident, then please go ahead. However, I must warn Young Master Ye that Yang Ye doesn’t possess an undeserved reputation. So, I hope Young Master Ye will be careful!”

“Thank you, Senior!” Ye Liangchen nodded, and then he turned around to gaze at Yang Ye.

Meanwhile, the veiled woman obstructed Ye Liangchen’s path and said, “You’ve investigated him, and you are aware of his character. It’s very likely that you’ll die!”

Ye Liangchen rolled his eyes and said, “Big Sister, do you have no confidence in your own younger brother? Just watch properly and see how I beat down this Sword Emperor.”

As he spoke, he turned around to gaze at Yang Ye. At the same time, a sword had appeared in his hand as he said, “Yang Ye, I’ve been wanting to fight you for a very long time, and I’m finally able to get my wish today. Come, show me your entire strength, and let I, Ye Liangchen, see how strong the so-called Sword Emperor is!”

Yang Ye said, “Do I have a choice?”

“You don’t. Haha….” As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Liangchen waved his sword lightly. In an instant, the ocean water in the surroundings of the s.h.i.+p started to roil, and then an enormous amount of water transformed into numerous waves that shot into the air.

“Heh. I never expected that the Young Master has actually succeeded in cultivating the Billowing Waves Sword Technique. After all, it’s a mid-grade Heaven Rank sword technique! Young Master, you can set your mind at rest now, right?” The old man by the veiled woman’s side said, “Young Master has already grasped 90% of this sword technique, and we’re above the ocean now, so its might would be improved greatly. I think that even if Young Master is only a seventh rank Spirit Realm expert, his current attack is something that even ordinary Exalt Realm experts wouldn’t be able to resist! Hehe! Let me see how that fellow, Yang Ye, deals with the Young Master’s attack!”

The veiled woman didn’t speak, and she just gazed at Yang Ye. At this moment, Yang Ye’s expression was very calm, and he didn’t show any signs of executing a technique. However, the more Yang Ye acted like that, the more uneasy she felt in her heart!

Yang Ye paid no attention to the might of Ye Liangchen’s technique, and his gaze was just moving ceaselessly between the veiled woman and Ye Liangchen as if he was thinking about something.

On the other hand, An Xiaonan’s eyes glowed as she gazed at the waves that filled the air, and she frequently shot glances at Yang Ye as well while excitement and curiosity filled her eyes!

“Billowing Waves Sword Technique!” Right at this moment, Ye Liangchen shouted as he spun his wrist, and then the countless waves shot violently towards Yang Ye like torrents. Moreover, Ye Liangchen’s figure flashed as he shot explosively towards Yang Ye while the sword in his hand carried an enormous torrent of its own!

Yang Ye shook his head lightly as he gazed at the torrents that covered the air. This sword technique was really not bad and Ye Liangchen had trained well in it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enhanced by Sword Intent, and a sword technique without Sword Intent wasn’t much of a threat to Yang Ye!

A wisp of a strange smile arose on the corners of Ye Liangchen’s mouth when he noticed that Yang Ye had still not attacked. In the next moment, a wisp of bright light flashed in Ye Liangchen’s eyes as his speed rose explosively and instantly arrived in front of Yang Ye. At the same time, an invisible force surged explosively from within him and enveloped Yang Ye.

It was Sword Intent! 7th level Sword Intent!

The spectators in the surroundings were shocked. They hadn’t expected that this fellow who looked really unreliable would actually possess 7th level Sword Intent! Moreover, they hadn’t expected that this fellow who acted like an idiot would have actually been putting on a show of weakness to his enemy!

It was especially so for the veiled woman and the others. They were extremely surprised right now because Ye Liangchen only possessed 6th level Sword Intent in the past, yet now….

In other words, he had been constantly concealing his strength.

The veiled woman revealed a wisp of a smile when she thought of this.
