Chapter 220 - Torrential Waves

There was water everywhere as well as sword energy.

Lu Mingshu only had a sword, but the other party was able to condense water into swords and use them anytime he wanted.

The same sword, but Ye Zhenyan only needed 50% of his power to block 70% of Lu Mingshu’s attack.

The sound of water and sword energy surrounded her. Lu Mingshu listened to them carefully and focused on them.

To her, this was a brand-new challenge that was even more difficult than the fight against Kou Wei or Wei Chunqiu.

To her, Kou Wei’s and Wei Chunqiu’s abilities were easy to see, so she could calculate them easily. For Ye Zhenyan though, the Mystic Water Sword was way too mysterious, and his data was all concentrated in the water. To be able to get it, she had to eliminate all distractions.

Numerous data flowed into her mind, but Lu Mingshu focused only on getting the useful bits and filling up the information.

“Miss Lu.” Ye Zhenyan smiled. “Taking it all forcefully is not a good choice.”

Light blue sword-light surrounded Ye Zhenyan, and he sent it out a little bit. Everywhere within half a mile around him was filled with his Sword Intent. No matter where she went, the Sword Intent would prevent her from going further.

“How do you know I’m taking it forcefully?” Lu Mingshu attacked calmly.

Specks of sword-light followed her sword, leaving behind a mild golden trail mixed with the light blue sword-light.

Ye Zhenyan smiled seeing that.

Using that against my Sword Intent, huh? A smart move. She’s ranked first in the New Generation Ranking after all. But, what a pity that I’m the opponent!

What outsiders weren’t aware of was that, after Ling Wuxia became famous, Ye Zhenyan went to the Ancient Jade Summit and requested another fight. On the Ancient Snow Lake, he suppressed Ling Wuxia until she was unable to even attack. At the last moment, he lost to her because of her excellent control, which allowed her to power to seep into the Mystic Water Sword.

After the fight, Ye Zhenyan went back to White Heron State and never left his house for half a year until he finally found a way to fill that loophole.

Lu Mingshu chose the same method that Ling Wuxia did, but he was now immune to it!

The light blue Sword Intent seemed to be permeable, but it kept joining into a web. No matter how much surface area Lu Mingshu’s mystic force took up, it was strong and unbreakable.

Whoosh!

The sound of water gushing could be heard again, covering the specks of gold and dissolving it slowly.

In the eyes of the crowd, all they saw was the mild golden sword energy being swallowed up by the light blue sword-light.

Rays after rays.

“Oh no, it’s ending.”

“Looks like that Miss is about to lose!”

“Not bad. She managed to last for quite a while with the Ye Family’s third young master.”

“She should be quite capable, seeing her fight like this. Which aristocratic family is she from? Or is she a disciple of a top sect?”

“Her clothes look like she’s from the south. A Zhongzhou citizen?”

Ye Zhenyan was now on cloud nine.

It was hard to have an opponent who could fight him this long; it was such a fun fight! What’s more fun though was that he won!

The taste of victory was so wonderful that no words could describe it.

“I’m sorry, Miss Lu!” Suddenly, a tremendous wave surged, smashing down with a loud bang.

Water could take on a thousand forms – humidity, silent streams, rivers that could carry anything – giving the world life. However, it could also be as heavy as a mountain and destroy the world!

Within a mile around Ye Zhenyan, the Mystic Water Sword manifestation went on a rampage, sweeping away everything that was present.

Fish jumped out of the water, turning into mincemeat after being crushed by the Mystic Water Sword manifestation. Planks and nets that were floating nearby had all turned into ashes.

Even boats that were nearby were affected. The boats were now shaking vigorously.

“Powerful!” The crowd gasped in surprise.

“Indeed a Ye Family member.”

“The Ye Family’s Mystic Water Sword has a fully justified reputation.”

“Brother!” Ah Ling tugged on Ah Lang’s sleeve so violently that she nearly ripped it. “Is Miss Lu losing?” Her eyes brimmed with tears.

“Uh, maybe.” Ah Lang furrowed his eyebrows.

“What will she do if she loses? Miss beat those other Ye Family disciples badly back at the eye of the Ming River!”

Captain Ding sighed. “Miss Lu is a sect’s disciple. The Ye Family should take that into consideration.”

Even though he said that, he didn’t dare to be certain. Such a large aristocratic family like the Ye Family wouldn’t put a small sect in their eyes. They could only hope that Miss Lu had a strong supporter.

The tremendous waves went down along with the Sword Intent, and it was time to see Lu Mingshu all rolled up….

Buzz!

A gentle cry could be heard when the wave was about to get her.

The wind swelled on the water, and her pale face was reflected in the waves.

Ye Zhenyan stopped for a while, then tried to suppress her once again.

But the waves didn’t move.

The golden rays that were originally swallowed up emerged, shining brighter than before.

“Hey, what’s that?”

“The miss’s sword energy?”

“Wasn’t it already destroyed by the Ye Family’s third young master?”

“Yeah! Why is it appearing again?”

The crowd in the harbor were mostly pretty weak. There weren’t many who could understand what was going on.

On the Bon Voyage Fleet’s biggest ship, a man came out of the cabin.

The steward on the fleet saw it and went forward to greet him. “Sir Ning, what brings you here?”

It was a skinny middle-aged guy who looked ordinary. He looked cultured like a teacher instead of a martial artist.

However, he was a Spirit Realm martial artist – an elite amongst elites.

Sir Ning looked around. Realizing that all his sailors had stopped their work and were watching the fight, he smiled at the steward. “It’s rare to see an interesting fight. Of course, I’ll have to take a look too.“

“Ah, it’s just a fight between Harmonization Realm disciples. Sir is valuing them too much!” Since Sir Ning is one of the powerful ones amongst those of the same realm, these two must be very good since he’s praising them!

“They have interesting things in the Harmonization Realm,” Sir Ning replied and stood by the edge of the ship.

Seeing the unmoving wave and the mix of both Sword Intents, Sir Ning squinted his eyes and mumbled, “Are the younger generation disciples that good now?”

“It’s not the younger generation, it’s them in particular.” A woman slowly walked up to him.

The woman was almost in her thirties, with a ponytail and beautiful looks. She was also in the Spirit Realm.

Sir Ning smiled widely at her. “Junior Sister Yu, you’re here to watch the fight too?”

“As you said, it’s rare to see an interesting fight, so why not?” Junior Sister Yu said in monotone.

The steward gasped upon hearing the conversation between the best of their fleet. Are they really that good? Even Miss Yu is saying it.

Mild golden light appeared. At first, it was on par with the light blue light, but as time passed, it shone brighter and slowly overtook the light blue sword-light.

Ye Zhenyan gave Lu Mingshu a death glare.

He was unable to understand what happened. When did her Sword Intent hide? Why couldn’t he feel anything?

No, if this continues, I’ll lose. I must do something!

Ye Zhenyan turned his sword, exerting all his mystic force.

Whoosh!

The water gushed, and the huge waves soared up.

When the waves landed on Ye Zhenyan, he launched an attack. The sword was now like water, fusing into the waves as if they were one.

“Go!” Ye Zhenyan stood up straight, and the silver leaf below him sped forward. Like lightning, he slashed down.

“Ah!” Everyone cried out in alarm upon feeling his grandeur.
