“That’s enough. No matter what, this battle will definitely be this year’s Ascension Ranking’s... no, it’ll definitely be the most exciting battle since the Ascension Rankings began. The Quasi Sword Emperor against the Quasi Martial God, just thinking about it makes me feel excited. Let’s wait and see if Yuan Tong defeats Tang Ye to secure his title as the Martial God or will Tang Ye defeat Yuan Tong to attain the position of Sword Emperor?” At the moment that Tang Ye revealed the ability of his Enlightened Sword Heart, countless Transmission Talismans had instantly erupted from the square outside the Imperial Palace. At the headquarters of the Talisman Master’s Association, the President, Bai Shan, who was crafting a talisman had suddenly received a transmission talisman. After he heard the content of it, a crack resounded as the talisman brush in Bai Shan’s hand was snapped into two. “The 4th level of Sword Intent before the age of 20. The Enlightened Sword Heart before the age of 20....” In the hall, Bai Shan’s murmurs that were filled with disbelief drifted through the hall, whereas, he himself had vanished from the hall and had flashed towards the Imperial Palace. At one of the four great clans of the Imperial Capital, the Tang Clan. The Tang Clan’s Patriarch was an Exalt Realm expert called Tang Neng. He had white hair and a face that was covered in wrinkled. When he finished listening to the contents of the transmission talisman, Tang Neng had suddenly started roaring with laughter. “HAHA! The 4th level of Sword Intent before the age of 20. The Enlightened Sword Heart before the age of 20! The Quasi Sword Emperor.... HAHA!! The heavens truly don’t wish for my Tang Clan to be destroyed!” At this instant, all the superior clans and powers in the entire Imperial Capital had found out about Tang Ye’s attainment of the Enlightened Sword Heart. The Quasi Sword Emperor and Quasi Martial God were fighting for the 1st position on the Ascension Rankings. At this moment, there was no news more exciting and delightful than this. So, at this moment, countless profounders in the capital were rushing madly towards the square outside the Imperial Palace.... At this moment, Yuan Tong had finally taken Tang Ye serious for the first time. If the Sword Intent could only cause slight trouble for him, then the Enlightened Sword Heart was capable of posing a threat to him. Because Tang Ye could destroy all techniques with a single strike. Unless he’d grasped a combat technique to perfection, otherwise, all techniques were useless before Tang Ye! On the other hand, even he who possessed extraordinary natural talent was unable to grasp an Earth Rank or Heaven Rank technique to perfection. Because even King Realm experts and Spirit Realm experts were rarely able to accomplish that. Since he was unable to attain perfection in his cultivation of a technique, it meant that there was only one way to defeat Tang Ye, and it was hand to hand combat battle! Yuan Tong was undoubtedly very formidable in hand to hand combat. If he was facing any other opponent, the hand to hand combat was definitely an enormous advantage of his. However, when he faced Tang Ye who possessed a physical body comparable to a King Rank Darkbeast, this advantage of his wasn’t very great anymore. In short, Tang Ye had forced him to start taking Tang Ye seriously and taking the battle seriously. Because he had a feeling that if he wasn’t serious, then his title as the Martial God would probably be gone! “I never expected that you would possess the Enlightened Sword Heart! What a surprise!” As he gazed at Tang Ye, Yuan Tong spoke slowly. “I originally thought that attaining the title of Martial God would be extremely easy for me because not a single profounder in the younger generation of the southern territory could make me take them seriously. But I never imagined that you would appear. Nevermind. Once I defeat you, my title as Martial God would become even more secure, and that existence on Martial God Mountain would have no further excuses. Come, let me see if you, the Quasi Sword Emperor, are stronger or I, the Quasi Martial God, am stronger!” Tang Ye’s wrists moved slightly, and then Violet Spirit and Green Darkness that had fallen to the ground in the surroundings instantly transformed into two rays of light that flew towards him. He held Green Darkness in his left hand and Violet Spirit in his right hand, and then he slowly raised them and pointed them at Yuan Tong before he said, “I’m not interested in the title of Sword Emperor. But it’s fine, my objective is the 1st position on the Ascension Rankings. So, in other words, we must decide on a victor. Since it’s like that, then let’s fight to our heart’s content!” “Haha.... That’s exactly what I want!” As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tong suddenly stomped the ground with his right foot, and then his figure shot out like a cannonball towards Tang Ye.When he saw Yuan Tong shoot explosively towards him, Tang Ye’s figure moved as well, and he flashed towards Yuan Tong. Bang! As soon as they came into contact with each other, an explosion rumbled and resounded from the battlefield, and then both of them shot backward explosively. In the next moment, they shot towards each other again. At this moment, Tang Ye utilized the Basic Sword Technique that he hadn’t utilized for a very long time. Perhaps the Basic Sword Technique was useless against others, but it couldn’t be any better when utilized for close quarter combat. With the enhancement of his Sword Intent and his perfect grasp of the Basic Sword Technique, the might revealed by the Sword Sect’s Basic Sword Technique had instantly risen by countless times in Tang Ye’s hands. Even Yuan Tong had to fear the might of every single strike of his sword and not dare go head on against it. This caused the countless spectators to be extremely shocked because they’d never imagined that the Basic Sword Technique could possess such might! Of course, Yuan Tong’s combat instinct caused Tang Ye to be extremely fearful of it as well. Because every single seemingly perfect strike of his sword would be easily avoided or blocked by Yuan Tong. Moreover, after Yuan Tong blocked his attacks, Yuan Tong’s own attacks would be extremely shocking and difficult to deal with. Especially when these attacks were enhanced by Yuan Tong’s Battle Intent and Fist Intent. Even the slightest carelessness would cause him to suffer a barrage of attacks from Yuan Tong. This made Tang Ye feel as if he was treading on thin ice, and he didn’t dare be careless at all. At this moment, Yuan Tong was extremely fearful of Tang Ye as well, and he didn’t dare be careless in the slightest! Because Tang Ye’s method of fighting was truly too shameless. Tang Ye had basically given up on defending himself and completely seemed like he wanted to exchange his own life for Yuan Tong’s life. The reason Tang Ye was able to do this so fearless was that his physical body was comparable to a King Rank Darkbeast, so suffering a few punches were utterly trivial to Tang Ye. However, if Yuan Tong were to suffer a few blows of Tang Ye’s sword, then it would definitely be lethal. So, at this moment, Yuan Tong had really become serious.The spectators were astonished by the battle between Tang Ye and Yuan Tong. Because regardless of whether it was Yuan Tong or Tang Ye, both of their combat instincts were too terrifying. This caused the spectators to have the misconception that it wasn’t two First Heaven Realm experts who were fighting before them, and it was King Realm experts or even Spirit Realm experts instead....
