I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 58: Say the harshest words, suffer the most brutal beatings.

"Earth Listening? Isn't that one of the Cloud Mountain Hidden Dragon's signature techniques?"

"I see!"

The two commentators immediately understood. No wonder Nangong Yi hadn't mentioned it before; it turned out this was one of Liu Yiming's trump cards for Liu Dingjian.

On the arena, Ye Qingzhou rode the wind, using the mid-level movement technique, "Swift Step".

Just now, Ye Qingzhou fell into the deep pit. When he jumped up, his body briefly broke free from Liu Dingjian's qi lock, and that's when he discovered the secret of the Earth Listening.

"When the mountain-like movements are practiced to a high level, not only can the density of the bones be increased, but one can also sense the subtle vibrations from the earth, thereby pinpointing the enemy's location. It is truly an ingenious idea."

Ye Qingzhou exclaimed in admiration once again, explaining why he had rejected Li Jian'en.

The only reward for throwing a match is two million. That seems like a lot of money, but it's barely enough to buy a mid-level martial arts skill. How can the reward compare to personally fighting a martial arts genius like Liu Dingjian?

In just a short while, Ye Qingzhou had already acquired three rare mid-level martial arts techniques, especially the "Earth Listening" technique, which was created by a certain individual and could not be learned without personal experience.

Facing Liu Dingjian, a generous and kind man, Ye Qingzhou unusually reminded him, "Standing on the ground, cliff face, listening to the earth, do you have any other special moves you haven't used yet? If not, the match is about to end."

"!!!"

Liu Dingjian was not an easily angered person, but faced with Ye Qingzhou's "contempt" and "provocation," he could not suppress his anger.

With a deep shout, Liu Dingjian urged his inner energy again, and power immediately gathered in his body. The Dragon Sword in his hand also resonated with his inner energy, emitting a buzzing sound.

Ye Qingzhou stood still, waiting for Liu Dingjian to finish charging up his power.

Seeing this, Liu Dingjian became even angrier and drew his sword, shouting, "You asked for this!"

With a single sword strike, the heavens and earth trembled!

The powerful and heavy sword energy trembled at high speed, as if it could tear space apart, and slashed fiercely towards where Ye Qingzhou was, its speed even three points faster than the cliff.

Among the intermediate-level martial arts techniques of the Mountain Formation, the one with the highest destructive power is also the most difficult to learn: Sky Collapse!

In terms of sheer power, the Heaven Collapse technique is comparable to many high-level martial arts techniques.

Compared to cliffs that rely on the earth for power transmission, Skyfall can be propagated through the air, meaning this move can be used not only on the ground but also in the air, making it more versatile.

Can't stop!

There's no escaping it!

Ye Qingzhou, through the Cicada's Sense, instantly felt the power of the collapsing sky. With his current cultivation level and foundation, even if he used techniques to deflect and redirect the force, he would not be able to withstand this attack head-on.

unless……

"Level 1"

Ye Qingzhou released his body from its restraints, and a dragon roared and a tiger howled within him. His dantian opened and closed like popping beans, and a high-powered engine roared from his abdomen.

The high-frequency tremors of his internal energy stimulated the sympathetic nerves in his coccyx, causing his muscles and bones to tremble slightly as well.

Rumble~

Ye Qingzhou vaguely heard the sound of waves in his mind, as loud as thunder!

His inner energy erupted, like gasoline being continuously ignited in a tank, providing Ye Qingzhou with a constant source of power. At this moment, the power within him surged and was incomparably strong.

There were no special moves; it was just a casual sword strike.

Clang~

With a single sweeping strike, the Flying Frost Sword effortlessly obliterated the opponent's ultimate move, Heaven Collapse.

"How...is this possible?"

Liu Dingjian stared blankly at Ye Qingzhou's sword strike, completely dumbfounded. His all-out attack, which he had poured all his energy into, had been casually wiped away by his opponent.

"Is that all?"

Ye Qingzhou looked at Liu Dingjian with great regret: "It seems that one really shouldn't be too greedy."

Even when you're exploiting someone, you can't just target one person. It's obvious that Liu Dingjian, this martial arts genius, has already been completely drained by Ye Qingzhou.

Sa ta.

Ye Qingzhou moved with lightning speed, appearing behind Liu Dingjian in an instant, and slammed the hilt of his sword into the back of the man's neck.

With his local nerves severely damaged, even though the powerful internal bones diverted some of the force, Liu Dingjian still fainted instantly, losing the match in an extremely humiliating manner.

"Ye Qingzhou wins!"

It wasn't until the referee announced the result that everyone came to their senses, and the audience erupted in chaos.

"What was that sword strike from Ye Qingzhou just now?"

"The sky is falling? My sky is falling, isn't it?"

"Did Ye Qingzhou just use the 'Sa Ta' technique?"

"Be more confident, and remove the 'seems'."

"As expected of the leader of the Twin Dragons of Sword Fighting, Ye Qingzhou's Swift Step feels even better than Golden Dragon's."

"Wait, what the heck is 'Sword Fighting Twin Dragons'?"

In the stands, Huang Jinlong, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, was watching the game from the crowd. He was so angry that his nose almost crooked. He was both happy and unhappy, and his emotions were in a state of duality.

Fortunately, it proved to be a wise move to flee from Ye Qingzhou without a fight, since even Liu Dingjian couldn't defeat him, so it would be pointless for him to go up against him.

What's unpleasant is that Ye Qingzhou actually uses the Sa Ta skill better than him!

Hateful!

He clearly went first; the "Sa Ta" move is his signature technique!

Losing to someone in the longest place, even someone as shameless as Huang Jinlong felt like he had been betrayed by his wife, and his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe.

Ye Qingzhou stepped off the arena, and Leon, like a heartbroken young girl, immediately confronted him demanding an explanation: "Master Ye, didn't you say last time that that sword strike was your full power? How could you lie to me? Where is the sincerity between people?"

"I'm not lying to you, I really did use my full strength back then. But true masters are constantly improving; what I used my full strength the day before yesterday doesn't mean I'll use it today, understand?"

"!!!"

Leon was greatly shocked. He had thought that he had mastered martial arts and was ready to "betray his master and ancestors," but he never expected that Master Ye was still his Master Ye.

The gap between them has not narrowed, but has instead widened.

Ye Qingzhou patted Leon on the shoulder: "Instead of thinking about how to beat me, you should think about how to defeat your opponent. If you lose to Zhu Jinfeng, you will have no chance to meet me in the finals."

"Hehe, Master Ye, there's no need to exaggerate. I, Leon, am a man of integrity and honor. If I can't beat Master Ye, can't I at least beat a woman?"

Leon stood tall and strode confidently onto another semi-final ring.

"Zhu Jinfeng from Guangya Middle School No. 002 will face off against Lei Ang from Linjiang No. 1 Middle School No. 005."

Dressed in a crimson outfit, Zhu Jinfeng, like a phoenix bathed in flames, landed gracefully on the arena. She was stunningly beautiful, yet her eyebrows were sharp and her demeanor was heroic.

His figure, standing with his hands behind his back, exuded an aura as intense as fire.

Master of fire control!

Master of Thunder Force!

Despite being a girl, she specializes in the most explosive of the six styles: fire and lightning.

"Leon, come and fight."

"Fine, let your failure serve as a testament to my growth."

Leon was full of confidence. His martial arts were already fully developed, and he had mastered both wind and lightning techniques. In order to defeat Ye Qingzhou, he even prepared a powerful trump card.

Apart from Master Ye, he doesn't take anyone else seriously in this sword fighting tournament!

Five minutes later, Leon was carried away with his eyes rolled back.

"Zhu Jinfeng wins!"
