Wang Yang smiled calmly, raised the longsword in his hand, and simply said, "This sword is Yitian!"
"A fine sword!"
"Ximen Chuixue was defeated by your sword."
Ye Gucheng said calmly.
Wang Yang nodded slightly and said, "Draw your sword!"
Ye Gucheng didn't speak again, staring straight at Wang Yang with a sharp gaze.
On the lake embankment, everyone is paying attention.
Many people held their breath, eagerly awaiting the earth-shattering battle between the two.
For a moment, Ye Gucheng suddenly drew the longsword he was holding.
"clank!"
The sound of swords clashing echoed, azure light flashed, and a chilling aura permeated the air.
When I looked again, the person had disappeared from the spot.
In mid-air, only a sword light remained, flashing through the air like a shower of stars, so dazzling that people could hardly open their eyes!
In no time, Ye Gucheng's men arrived with swords thrusting into them.
Seeing this, Wang Yang remained calm.
The Heaven Sword he was holding was drawn directly from its sheath.
A flash of sword light streaked past, and the blade collided directly with Ye Gucheng's longsword, gleaming with endless brilliance.
When Ye Gucheng saw that Wang Yang had easily blocked his sword strike, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
But in an instant, he recovered and continued to fight Wang Yang with his sword.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship, like Ximen Chuixue's, relies on speed to achieve victory.
Not only is his swordsmanship fast, but his movement is also incredibly fast.
Without superb agility, one cannot sustain the speed of a sword strike.
However, what shocked Ye Gucheng even more was...
No matter how fast he drew his sword, Wang Yang could always block it perfectly.
Ye Gucheng felt that Wang Yang had long since seen through his sword techniques.
Just then, Wang Yang, who had been merely parrying with his sword, suddenly changed his sword technique and launched a direct attack on Ye Gucheng.
"Sword Breaking Style!"
At this moment, Wang Yang directly unleashed the Dugu Nine Swords.
"call out!"
A sword light flew diagonally, like a startled flash of lightning, like a rainbow traversing the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the cold edge of the Heaven-Slaying Sword had already pierced down in front of Ye Gucheng.
"Um?"
Ye Gucheng was shaken by Wang Yang's sword strike.
It was obvious to everyone that Wang Yang's swordplay had become all about offense and no longer about defense.
Moreover, the speed at which he drew his sword was in no way inferior to his own.
Without time to think, Ye Gucheng quickly drew his sword to defend himself.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
In an instant, sword lights crisscrossed the sky, and sparks flew everywhere.
Everyone present was amazed to see the two fighting fiercely on the island in the middle of the lake.
"Wow...what amazing swordsmanship!"
"I've really broadened my horizons today. I never knew a sword could be used like this."
"I never expected that Alliance Leader Wang's swordsmanship would be on par with that of Lord Baiyun City."
"What do you mean by that? Alliance Leader Wang is already stronger than Ye Gucheng."
"The two are evenly matched!"
"Wang Yang is so young, yet he possesses such strength; it's truly rare to find someone like him!"
"Although the two are currently locked in a fierce battle, don't forget that the City Lord of White Clouds still has a move called 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens' that he hasn't used yet!"
"That's right. Once this sword move is unleashed, it should be the moment that decides the outcome of this decisive battle."
"..."
Many people from the martial arts world expressed their opinions.
Meanwhile, Zhao Min and the others were...
They were all surprised to see Ye Gucheng and Wang Yang fighting swordsmanship evenly.
"Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship is indeed very exquisite, similar to that of Ximen Chuixue before."
Yang Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"But Ximen Chuixue was ultimately defeated by Alliance Leader Wang's sword, so Ye Gucheng was no match for Alliance Leader Wang either."
"Left Envoy Yang, am I right to say this?"
White-browed Eagle King Wei Yi smiled and glanced at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao didn't reply, but just smiled meaningfully.
At this moment, Fan Yao and the others also sighed:
"I only knew that Alliance Leader Wang was highly skilled before, but I never expected him to be so accomplished in swordsmanship."
"If I remember correctly, Alliance Leader Wang also knows Tai Chi swordsmanship."
"I really don't know how there could be such a genius as Alliance Leader Wang in this world?"
"If only our Ming Cult had someone like Leader Wang to lead it."
"..."
Although the members of the Ming Cult could all see that Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship was extremely skillful.
But having followed Wang Yang for so long, they all knew how powerful he was.
He had full confidence in Wang Yang, not to mention that Ximen Chuixue had just been defeated by Wang Yang's sword not long ago.
Upon hearing the Ming Cult members' praise of Wang Yang, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo, who were standing nearby, both revealed admiration and love in their eyes.
Yang Guo was filled with envy and admiration, hoping to become a master like Wang Yang in the future.
Zhou Botong was very envious and wanted to find some time to spar with Wang Yang. He knew he might not be able to beat him, but fighting him would be very challenging and fun, and would greatly improve him.
On the contrary, Shangguan Haitang looked displeased.
"Even Ye Gucheng can't defeat Wang Yang?"
She had been looking forward to it when she learned that Ye Gucheng was going to have a showdown with Wang Yang.
He even fantasized that it would be best if Ye Gucheng could kill Wang Yang.
Who would have thought that it was only after the two exchanged blows that Shangguan Haitang realized...
Wang Yang's swordsmanship seemed to be in no way inferior to Ye Gucheng's.
At another spot, Huang Yaoshi saw something and couldn't help but praise it:
"Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship is agile and graceful, capable of changing at will!"
"To be able to cultivate swordsmanship to his level is to be considered a rare talent in the martial arts world."
At this point, Huang Yaoshi paused, sighed, and then added:
"It's just a pity... he ran into that prodigy, Brother Wang!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang frowned slightly.
Their gazes remained fixed on the fight between Wang Yang and Ye Gucheng.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Even after seeing Wang Yang's true appearance, the two women still found it hard to accept.
How could Wang Yang be so young?
Earlier on the way to Hangzhou, Huang Yaoshi praised Wang Yang highly and flattered him to the extreme!
He also told them in detail about the decisive battle at Tahu City, in which Wang Yang single-handedly killed a group of martial arts masters from the Ming Dynasty, including the Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi and Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami.
At that time, they felt that Huang Yaoshi had exaggerated.
After all, how could someone so young have such remarkable martial arts skills?
At this moment, we are on the island in the middle of the lake.
Wang Yang and Ye Gucheng are still fighting.
Under the aggressive attacks of Wang Yang's Dugu Nine Swords, Ye Gucheng was forced into a passive defensive posture.
What shocked Ye Gucheng even more was that Wang Yang's sword strikes were not only offensive but also targeted the weaknesses in his sword techniques with every single strike.
If it weren't for his fast sword speed and profound skill, he would never have been able to withstand Wang Yang's attacks for so long.
As the two continued their sword fight, the ordinary martial arts practitioners on the lake embankment were dazzled by the spectacle.
In their eyes, Wang Yang and Ye Gucheng were no longer visible; all that remained was the crisscrossing sword light.
In the beginning, many people were clearly divided, either thinking that Wang Yang would win or that Ye Gucheng would win.
But now, we see the two of them locked in a fierce sword fight, neither gaining the upper hand.
For a moment, they were all unsure who would ultimately win this battle.
Just as everyone was watching, Wang Yang forced Ye Gucheng back with a single sword strike.
Instead of continuing to draw his sword, he said, "Lord Ye, why don't you just use your strongest technique, Celestial Flying Immortal!"
