I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 184 He's so strong!

The King of Snipers leaped high into the air, bathed in a dark blue electric light, and fell straight down on Ye Qingzhou like a bolt of lightning. His speed was so great that he had entered the realm of divine speed.

Before the roar could even reach them, the lightning-infused claws were already upon them.

Clang~

Ye Qingzhou held his sword horizontally in front of him. The moment the divine weapon clashed with the wolf claw, it emitted a sharp, clanging sound, the piercing noise causing a sharp pain in the eardrums.

"Such sharp wolf claws! Their material is probably comparable to that of a top-grade sword!"

Slightly surprised, the King of the Snipers before him was indeed worthy of possessing a master-level physique. His bones and claws were probably honed to be comparable to top-grade weapons.

As Ye Qingzhou felt the recoil from the Flame Emperor Sword, a smile crept onto his lips, and his fighting spirit surged: "Truly a worthy opponent to fight."

Seemingly sensing Ye Qingzhou's almost frenzied fighting spirit, the King of the Hercules' eyes flashed with lightning, its anger surging. As the king of its kind, it would not tolerate any living creature daring to challenge its authority.

otherwise.

dead!

The man and the beast, without needing to communicate or speak, immediately began a life-or-death struggle.

Clang~

Ye Qingzhou combined the six powers into one: the Ascending Dragon of Wind, the Rising Dragon of Fire, the Rocking Dragon of Mountain, the Azure Dragon of Forest, the Mirage Dragon of Yin, and the Mighty Dragon of Thunder. Under the command of the True Dragon Sword Intent, the second gear was activated again, and his essence, energy, and spirit resonated intensely, allowing Ye Qingzhou to enter an overclocked state.

Incredible speed!

Ye Qingzhou's sword light was as fast as lightning. At fifteen times the speed of sound, even the simplest sword swing was powerful enough to rival a high-level martial skill at the master level.

Each strike possesses the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Each strike has the power to shake the earth.

The King of the Snipers was equally determined. Its body surged with lightning, and the electric current stimulated its strength, making its nerve reflexes more acute. It was able to keep up with Ye Qingzhou's pace.

In the ensuing battle, the vegetation on the entire second peak was instantly devastated.

At the mountaintop, the wind howled and thunder roared.

Two incredibly fast figures transformed into streaks of light, intertwining and colliding with each other. Wherever they went, strong winds surged, rocks shattered, trees snapped, and a deafening roar resounded.

"The King of the Razor Claws is a Grandmaster-level beast; Ye Qingzhou probably won't be able to hold out for long!"

Although Lin Jianfeng disliked Ye Qingzhou's reckless and disregard for the overall situation, he had a duty to fulfill and could not stand idly by while the King of the Raiders breached the second peak and destroyed the Dragon Vein Formation.

Zhou Ming was in the same boat. He gripped his war bow tightly, ready to provide long-range support to Ye Qingzhou at any moment, but after several attempts, he was unable to lock onto the target: "No, they're moving too fast. I can't lock onto them with my aura."

"Then let the King of Snipers slow down."

Lin Jianfeng stretched his muscles and bones, his body entering a state of renewed strength, and then shouted, "Ye Qingzhou, I'm here to help you!"

As soon as he jumped, a powerful sniper pounced on him and blocked his way.

Besides the King of the Snipers, the other five master-level Sniper leaders also launched an attack. Their purpose was clearly to hold back the defenders, allowing the King of the Snipers to use his most powerful attack to quickly break through the second peak, destroy the Dragon Vein Formation, and allow subsequent troops to continue to be deployed to the battlefield, ultimately destroying the defenses set up by the human race.

"Damn it, when did these beasts learn military tactics?"

Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming were blocked by two master-level snipers, and for the time being, even if they wanted to support Ye Qingzhou, they were powerless to do so.

Meanwhile, Wei Yong of the Third Peak and Li Shulan of the Fourth Peak were taking it easy, secretly hoping that Ye Qingzhou would die under the claws of the King of the Snipers, so that they wouldn't have to do anything.

Qi Shaoming was also caught in a fierce battle and couldn't spare any attention.

Where is General Wang?

"The training grounds were attacked, and he went to provide support!"

"What about Chairman Zhao?"

"There's a meeting in Xingcheng today that he needs to attend!"

"Damn it, why did it have to be this time!"

All five peaks are now embroiled in fierce fighting, especially the second peak guarded by Ye Qingzhou, which is seen by everyone as being in a precarious situation, as if it could fall at any moment.

Boom boom boom~

The continuous explosions were deafening.

Ye Qingzhou was relying entirely on his strong physical abilities to forcefully sustain the battle against the King of Snipers.

Several kilometers away, Sun Ninghui, who was observing the battle situation by operating a drone, had an extremely grim expression on his face.

"How could Ye Qingzhou withstand the fierce attack of the King of the Raiders for so long? No, the people from the Source Blood Society can't hold out for much longer. If Wang Yin arrives to provide support, it will be even more impossible for me to obtain the Flame Emperor Sword and the 'Flaming Sun Treasure Seal'!"

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou's "steadfastness" surprised everyone.

On the second peak, Ye Qingzhou, who was engaged in a fierce battle, did not decline in his condition at all; on the contrary, he became more and more courageous as he fought.

Sizzle~

The ground beneath his feet crackled with lightning. This was one of the innate divine abilities of the King of Snipers, which could transform the area around him into a field of lightning. However, his attacks could never accurately land on Ye Qingzhou.

roar~

The King of the Razor breathed out thunder, and a rain of lightning arrows bombarded Ye Qingzhou relentlessly.

However, Ye Qingzhou always easily evaded him with his unpredictable movements, suddenly accelerating and turning. Even his qi lock would be affected by the interference, resulting in unbelievable deviations.

So close yet worlds apart!

Ye Qingzhou's self-created movement techniques, developed through the Tian Shu martial arts demonstration, were clearly proving invaluable, giving him a significant advantage in his dealings with the King of the Snipers.

Hoo hoo~

Unable to gain the upper hand after a prolonged battle, the King of Snipers grew increasingly enraged. After two roars, the electricity around his body began to turn into a deep, blood-red hue.

Thunderous Form!

The lightning, corrupted by the King of the Razor's rage, suddenly increased in power several times over. A powerful current erupted from its body, transforming into a surging wave of thunder that swept in all directions.

A blood-red bolt of lightning, with lightning speed, transformed into a spear and shot out, directly striking Ye Qingzhou and slamming him to the ground.

"Ye Qingzhou!"

Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming were extremely anxious, fearing that the Second Summit would be breached as a result.

On the contrary, Wei Yong and Li Shulan were secretly delighted: "This kid is finished!"

Even they dared not take that crimson lightning strike head-on. Even a master-level martial artist would be either killed or crippled if hit by such a powerful attack.

However, when the smoke cleared, Ye Qingzhou's figure, his clothes torn to shreds, reappeared in everyone's sight. At this moment, he was completely unharmed, and a close-fitting suit of armor was taken out from the Xiayu Treasure Ring and calmly put on.

However, this armor, made of indestructible iron, was more for wearing as clothing than for increasing defense; otherwise, if the battle continued, Ye Qingzhou would be left with nothing to cover her body again.

"That was a powerful attack, let's do it again."

As he spoke, Ye Qingzhou drew his Heavenly Punishment Sword. With two great divine weapons in hand, his fighting spirit grew even more frenzied: "I'm going to accelerate now. Let's see how many of my sword strikes you can withstand!"

roar~

The King of Snipers responded to Ye Qingzhou's fighting spirit with a roar, and the two began the second round of battle.

"How is this possible!"

"His physical cultivation method is somewhat similar to the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, both being types with extremely strong defensive capabilities. He must have cultivated an extremely powerful external cultivation technique, otherwise it would be impossible for him to withstand the attack of the King of the Snipers!"

Wei Yong and Li Shulan were both seeing Ye Qingzhou reveal his trump card, the Indestructible Golden Body, for the first time, and were extremely shocked by the strength of his physical body.

Li Shulan observed even more closely, and her expression grew even more serious: "Not only that, don't forget that he also seems to have mastered one of the supreme divine abilities of the Daoist Xuanzong sect, a super-level martial skill, the Five-Colored Divine Light!"

"From nothingness comes five-colored divine light!?"

A surge of jealousy and resentment welled up in Wei Yong's heart. Why didn't he have such an opportunity? He was clearly born into a noble family, with a noble bloodline, and was a descendant of an ancient powerhouse left in the world.

After a lifetime of struggling, he didn't even have a single super-level martial arts skill!

You should know that's a super-level martial skill that can lead to the Martial Saint realm!

The most distinctive feature of the Five-Colored Divine Light, a super-level martial skill, is its ability to completely absorb the opponent's true energy attack and transform it into one's own power.

However, the exact amount that can be absorbed and transformed depends entirely on the practitioner's mastery of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

If one is only at the beginner level, then one can only absorb and transform 20%.

The proficiency level is 40%, the mastery level is 60%, the mastery level is 80%, and only the perfect level can completely transform the opponent's true energy attack.

Back in the ancient Three Dynasties period, during the final Great War of the Investiture of the Gods in the Jin Hong Holy Dynasty, which followed the Tianyi Holy Dynasty, there was a martial arts master named Kong Xuan who had mastered the Five-Colored Divine Light to perfection and was known as the one who could sweep away anything.

As long as martial arts true energy does not deviate from the five elements, it is nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs in his presence.

Clang~

Ye Qingzhou unleashed the Sword Shadow Immortal Technique, his body as swift as a crane, his hands unleashing countless sword shadows, the clanging of swords ringing out endlessly.

"My Five Elements Gathering Technique can absorb the lightning attacks of the King of the Ravens, but currently I can only barely absorb 40%, not even half of it."

"Fortunately, I have the Heart Sword Secret Technique, which allows me to sever my physical body and mind. The absorbed lightning energy is enough to sustain me in this fight."

Hoo hoo~

The King of Snipers possesses a master-level physique and innate martial arts skills, enabling it to wield the power of thunder. However, it is unable to defeat Ye Qingzhou, a mere professional-level opponent, and is therefore becoming increasingly impatient as the battle progresses.

Ultimately, they are nothing more than exotic beasts; their fighting skills are far inferior to those of true human masters.

Furthermore, Ye Qingzhou could even use the Mountain Dragon to mobilize the power of the dragon veins underground, making his physique even more resilient and allowing the battle to remain at a stalemate.

Incredible speed!

Blazing Fire in the Sky!

Ye Qingzhou once again wielded the Flame Emperor Sword, using the power of the divine weapon Emperor Martial, and cleaved out with a single strike. The innate Bing Fire Qi was extremely strong and yang, and indestructible.

Even a powerful Fiend King like him, at the Earthly Fiend Grandmaster level, was no match for the divine weapon's immense power. He was struck by the sword, and blood splattered everywhere.

roar~

The King of the Snipers cried out in pain as he was wounded, his feet stomping on the earth, causing the ground to shake and the heavens and earth to tremble.

The blood fueled its ferocity, and the bloodthirsty killing intent in its large, bell-shaped wolf eyes began to rage. The King of the Razor's expression crackled with lightning, and the pervasive electricity turned from dark blue to scarlet, releasing signs of danger.

Bloodthirsty Thunderstorm!

The King of Snipers displayed an unprecedentedly ferocious state. Its body swelled up, and as its size increased, its strength and speed also surged.

Sizzle~

The enormous figure flashed by and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Qingzhou, its gaping maw revealing sharp, menacing white teeth.

Sixteen times the speed of sound!

Using electromagnetic acceleration, the King of Snipers broke through its original speed limit. Even Ye Qingzhou didn't have time to react. The violent airflow directly stirred up strong fluctuations and explosions. Under the sweeping wind pressure, the grass and trees bowed down.

Click~

The ferocious bite shattered Ye Qingzhou's armor made of indestructible iron in a single strike. Even Ye Qingzhou's indestructible golden body, which had reached a high level of proficiency, was pierced by the sharp wolf fangs, leaving bloody holes.

The sweet taste of blood in his mouth caused the King of Snipers' pupils to shrink, and the powerful life energy contained in Ye Qingzhou's blood filled it with ecstasy.

The human before it possessed an even stronger life energy level than the creature itself, and its blood even contained the innate five elements!

To it, Ye Qingzhou's flesh and blood were like the flesh of Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West," coveted by countless demons—the most precious treasure in the world.

It must be said that the King of Snipers has good taste.

Ye Qingzhou's body, having cultivated the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" and "Refining True Gold in Fire," is indeed a rare and precious treasure in the world. The innate five elements in his blood are a great tonic for rare birds and beasts, capable of elevating their lives.

If the King of the Snipers can devour Ye Qingzhou, then it can become a true "King Beast," standing shoulder to shoulder with the "King-level" powerhouses of ancient times.

On Earth today, there is another name for King-level powerhouses.

That is...

A martial arts master among men!

"You want to eat me?"

Ye Qingzhou felt the stinging pain in his body and met the gaze of the King of the Snipers. Far from being afraid, his fighting spirit burned even brighter: "Coincidentally, I also want to eat you, and while I'm at it, use your martial bones and claws as materials for forging a sword!"

With a backhand thrust, Ye Qingzhou aimed directly at the King of the Snipers' eyes. This strike would surely pierce its most vulnerable eye organ and then shatter its brain.

The threat of death activated the savage instincts of the King of the Snipers. It immediately released its jaws from Ye Qingzhou, turned around, and retreated to avoid the deadly sword light.

"Ye Qingzhou has stabilized the battle line!"

"He single-handedly withstood the attack of the King of Snipers!"

"They're still alive?"

"That attack from the King of Snipers just now must have had the bite force to shred through the armor of a heavy tank like biting into a cookie, right? Ye Qingzhou only suffered minor injuries? Is his body made of some kind of super-metal?"

Everyone watching the battle was shocked by Ye Qingzhou's powerful strength. Despite his cultivation level and realm being only at the professional level, Ye Qingzhou displayed incredible and formidable combat power.

"I thought he was just relying on the advantage of divine weapons, but I never expected his physique to be truly incredible. Could it be that he possesses the bloodline of some ancient mythical being?"

Just as everyone was marveling, the shattered indestructible iron, attracted by the martial arts true energy on Ye Qingzhou's body, flowed back to his body surface, quickly repaired itself, and returned to its original state.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, some of which were malicious or even murderous, Ye Qingzhou had an idea. He waved to the King of Snipers: "If you want my life, then come after me. As long as you can catch me."

brush~

Ye Qingzhou spread his arms, and the numerous sword shadows instantly transformed into wings. He used the Sword Shadow Immortal Steps technique, and like a crane, he spread his wings and soared into the sky.

Driven by its desire for ascension, the King of the Snipers is willing to do anything, and its primary objective is no longer to destroy the dragon vein formation of the second peak.

The King of the Heju possesses extremely high intelligence. To it, the survival of its race has become insignificant, because as long as it can advance to become a King Beast, the Heju race in the Nine Li Cave Heaven can truly rise!

So the most important thing right now is to eat the humans in front of us!

roar~

The King of Snipers was engulfed in lightning. It used electromagnetic acceleration to chase after Ye Qingzhou's back and soared into the air.

The man and the beast immediately left the battlefield and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

A few minutes later, a majestic figure descended from the sky, his domineering tiger roar overwhelming the entire area, quickly annihilating the invading beast tide.

This person was none other than Black Tiger King Yin.

"General!"

Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming, covered in blood, stepped forward to report to Wang Yin: "We have held the great formation."

Wang Yin had just repelled the members of the Source Blood Society who wanted to take advantage of the chaos. Now, looking at the devastated battlefield on the Second Peak, he frowned and asked, "Where is Ye Qingzhou?"

"He... lured the King of the Raiders to the east..."

"Damn it!"

Wang Yin was furious. Ye Qingzhou was an important combat force sent by the Martial Arts Association to guard the Second Peak. He was also a hidden dragon in martial arts. The authorities had long noticed Ye Qingzhou's existence, and even the Divine General Qinglong had personally come to investigate and win him over.

Furthermore, Ye Qingzhou has now secretly joined the Tianji Research Institute and has conducted several divine metal transactions with Gu Minghui, currently making him the most important source of divine metal for the Eastern Pole Kingdom.

In addition, there's the close relationship between Ye Qingzhou and Kang Jinlong, who is a mythical being that even the authorities are unwilling to provoke!

"He absolutely cannot get hurt!"

Wang Yin immediately instructed Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming: "You two keep an eye on the teleportation array in Jiuli Cave Heaven. I'm going to rescue Ye Qingzhou!"

"Yes, sir!"

…………

Boom boom boom~

Ye Qingzhou fled southeast and soon arrived at the outskirts of Linjiang City, constantly dodging the lightning bolts coming from behind, and finally landed in a deserted wilderness.

"Human, you cannot escape!"

The telepathic message suddenly came to Ye Qingzhou's mind, along with a bloodthirsty killing intent that cut through his brain like a knife.

If Ye Qingzhou hadn't already mastered the Heart Sword technique to the third level, he truly wouldn't have been able to withstand the mental impact of his opponent.

After all, he was a Grandmaster of the Earthly Fiends, and his strength was the most terrifying among all the opponents Ye Qingzhou had ever encountered.

Boom~

The enormous figure landed suddenly, the King of Snipers' sharp gaze fixed on Ye Qingzhou: "I will devour your flesh and blood raw."

"Eating it raw is too unhygienic. I want to grill your meat."

Ye Qingzhou smiled calmly, and then a graceful figure descended from the sky, appearing behind him. Her delicate, white arms wrapped tightly around his neck from behind: "My lord, have you missed me?"

"I think about you day and night, and that's why I didn't forget to bring you back an expensive gift even during my temporary leave."

After speaking, Ye Qingzhou specifically pointed to the King of Snipers.

A gift like the Heju, a mythical beast at the fourth level of the Ascension Realm, is undoubtedly extremely valuable.
