Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Victory and Defeat

Zhou Mo suddenly proposed a one-move battle, and Ye Chen accepted the challenge. The tall girl Lin Jing looked at Ye Chen with some concern, hesitated for a moment, then retreated to the sidelines.

"You will spar without taking each other's lives, or else I will have to intervene."

With a slight flick of her hand, the white ring coiled around her slender waist sprang into the air, turning into a snow-white soft sword in her hand.

This Lin Jing, she's a sword cultivator as well!

Lin Jing's final words were actually a warning to Zhou Mo. Like her, Zhou Mo was an official disciple of the Qingyun Sect. However, Lin Jing was not very familiar with Zhou Mo; she only knew of Zhou Mo's two martial skills, Gale Sword Skills and Fierce Light Sword Skills.

Now that Zhou Mo had suddenly proposed a one-move battle, it was clear he still had an ace up his sleeve, as official disciples had more opportunities to come into contact with various martial skills. In this respect, Ye Chen, who was merely a nominal disciple, was at a significant disadvantage.

Seeing Lin Jing pull out the snow-white soft sword, a hint of wariness, mixed with a touch of jealousy, flashed in Zhou Mo's eyes.

How could he not see that Lin Jing's words were biased and protective towards Ye Chen?

"Don't worry, Sister Jing, I won't strike to kill," Zhou Mo said with a smile, suppressing the discomfort in his heart.

Zhou Mo's expression, unseen by Lin Jing from afar, was clearly visible to Ye Chen. This fellow was somewhat scheming. They would enter Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain together as teammates, and he needed to be cautious, Ye Chen thought.

Lin Jing and the other candidates stepped back, leaving a large open space in the arena where Ye Chen and Zhou Mo stood.

Zhou Mo had challenged Ye Chen, and the final move was about to begin.

This time, Zhou Mo did not strike with lightning speed, but stood still instead.

Whoosh!

The True Qi swirling around the tip of his Cold Light Sword suddenly surged, and the originally bright blade turned an intense blue in an instant. Between heaven and earth, countless streams of True Qi seemed to be drawn towards the sword in his hand.

This initial stance made Zhou Mo look much more mysterious than before.

The onlookers, seeing this scene, all looked solemn. Zhou Mo's challenge of a one-move battle against Ye Chen was obviously not going to be simple and had to be more than the previous Fierce Light Sword Skills.

"Could it be that Zhou Mo has mastered a Yellow Class upper grade martial skill?"

Lin Jing, dressed in fiery red armor, tightened her grip on the soft sword even more.

With the stance ready, Zhou Mo gave Ye Chen a grim smile, then burst forward in a rush. In an instant, he split into five identical figures, each holding a bright blue sword and approaching Ye Chen in a pincer attack.

"Yellow Class upper grade martial skill, Light-splitting Shadow-stealing Sword Skills!"

"He really did learn an upper grade martial skill!"

Lin Jing's beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she quickly turned to Ye Chen, ready to intervene at the slightest sign of trouble to block the attack for him.

She didn't want to lose a good teammate to internal friction even before setting off.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the five figures Zhou Mo flashed out in an instant, Ye Chen furrowed his brow; he discovered that these figures had occupied all his options for movement in the blink of an eye.

This seemed to be a sword skill that uses movement techniques to achieve a joint attack effect!

Boom!

Ye Chen's mind shifted, and he instantly found a way to break the move.

He lightly tapped his toes on the ground and soared into the air.

"There is no escape for you in heaven or earth!"

"Light-splitting Shadow-stealing, joint attack!"

Zhou Mo shouted loudly, and the treasured swords in the hands of the five figures emitted a dazzling blue light, shooting towards Ye Chen in the air.

The five figures, with their five unparalleled beams of Sword Qi, killed Ye Chen from all directions. The magnitude of the scene caused the hearts of the onlooking crowd to tighten.

The challengers could tell that this set of sword skills by Zhou Mo was likely an upper grade Yellow Class sword skill!

An upper grade Yellow Class sword skill... Could this miraculous youth still withstand it?

Everyone looked up at Ye Chen in the air.

As they looked, everyone thought, "Oh no!"

At this moment, as Ye Chen rose into the air, his upward momentum had already slowed, while Zhou Mo's five Sword Qi figures had caught up with him.

The momentum to rise had been exhausted, and he was surrounded in the air, leaving Ye Chen with nowhere to escape.

Was he going to lose?

Just as this thought crossed everyone's minds, Ye Chen, who was in the air, suddenly stepped on the void and increased his speed again, propelling himself higher.

"He propelled higher in the void, what movement technique is that?!" an affiliated disciple exclaimed.

"It must be a Yellow Class mid-tier movement technique, and it has to be cultivated to Great Accomplishment!"

"Could it be, this affiliated disciple has managed to cultivate not only the Torrential Rain Sword Skills to Great Accomplishment but also a Yellow Class mid-tier movement technique?!"

The hearts of the formal disciples watching the battle were greatly shaken.

Cultivating two sets of Yellow Class mid-tier martial skills to Great Accomplishment, none of them could achieve it.

Meanwhile, Lin Jing, who had been ready to save the day, was also filled with surprise, "A Great Accomplishment-level Yellow Class mid-tier movement technique? Is his comprehension power for movement techniques also this high?"

The chest beneath Lin Jing's fiery red armor heaved violently, she knew the final exchange below would decide the victory or defeat between Ye Chen and Zhou Mo.

At that moment, Ye Chen, using the "Startling Goose Steps" to propel himself higher in the air, seemed to pause for a moment at the highest point.

In that instant, Ye Chen's whole aura changed drastically, and he even closed his eyes.

What everyone didn't know was that at that moment, Ye Chen had entered a true state of confrontation with his enemy. The four True Qi Vortices within him vibrated simultaneously, and a massive surge of True Qi swept out.

Additionally, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and eighteen out of the thirty-three Meridian Wheels, which were opened with the help of the "Primordial Star Scripture," suddenly expanded, giving him an extraordinary sensing ability of his surroundings.

With his eyes closed, Ye Chen understood everything within a several-meter radius as if it were in the palm of his hand!

Suddenly, Ye Chen in midair swiftly turned over, facing downwards, and his entire aura skyrocketed as he rushed towards the five figures coming at him, infused with surging True Qi.

Ye Chen descending from the sky was like a true God of Killing!

Ye Chen came down from the sky, while Zhou Mo's five figures rushed upwards—the final move was about to collide, and the winner would soon be determined!

The spectators held their breath in anticipation.

"An ant trying to shake a tree, be defeated!"

Zhou Mo saw Ye Chen daring to rush directly towards him and roared. The Sword Qi in his hand moved, and the five figures simultaneously launched an assault on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, however, remained silent. Just as he was about to collide with Zhou Mo's five figures, his eyes suddenly burst open, and his extremely clear gaze focused on one of the five figures.

Immediately, ignoring the other four figures, he gripped his sword and thrust it downwards at the figure he was staring at.

Ye Chen, like a drop of rain falling from the sky, carried the momentum of a heavy downpour and a killing intent that could pierce through everything, and in an instant, struck the sword held by that figure.

At this moment, four of Zhou Mo's five figures turned into illusions as they passed by Ye Chen's body, revealing only one real figure, which was, in fact, the one Ye Chen had aimed for!

Having his true body found by Ye Chen, Zhou Mo's face underwent a drastic change. Then, he horrifyingly discovered that the Fierce Light Sword Skills he had cultivated to the fundamental level couldn't withstand Ye Chen's attack at all, and he was being knocked down by the force of Ye Chen's blow.

All the spectators witnessed this incredible scene.

The two figures met in the air with their swords carrying immense waves of True Qi. The figure on top surged with Sword Qi, overwhelming the aura of the figure below and slamming it down.

In the end, more than half of the body of the figure below was pressed into the ground to stop the tremendous force coming from above.

This figure buried in the ground was Zhou Mo.

In this final exchange, Zhou Mo was clearly at a disadvantage!

He, who had only cultivated his Yellow Class superior martial skill to the basic level, couldn't withstand Ye Chen's, who had cultivated the Torrential Rain Sword Skills to Great Accomplishment with the assistance of the Primordial Star Scripture.

In the end, Zhou Mo, buried halfway into the soil, couldn't even muster the strength to make another move!

And the figure that had knocked him into the ground, Ye Chen, leaped gracefully and landed on the ground.

Ye Chen walked step by step towards Zhou Mo, pointed his sword at him, and said indifferently, "You've lost."
