Chapter 249 - 246: Master of the Battle List
But so far, Ye Xuan had never used his full strength. Up to this point, he had only exerted less than sixty percent of his power, so to many spectators, Ye Xuan began to appear somewhat strained—at least not as effortlessly overpowering his adversaries as before. Now, claiming victory required a fair bit of difficulty.
The battle against the man in blue further led many to speculate that Ye Xuan couldn’t last much longer and that ten consecutive wins might just be his limit.
After twenty moves against the man in blue, the outcome was still undetermined on the battlefield, with some already guessing whether Ye Xuan might lose this round.
Just as the crowd was rife with speculation, a determined look condensed in Ye Xuan’s eyes, and the speed of his sword suddenly accelerated, leaving afterimages.
His swordplay’s speed surged dramatically, slicing through the air like a rainbow piercing the sun, transforming into a sharp beam of light that punctured the man in blue’s chest.
"Ptui!"
As the sword light fell, it left a bloody hole in the old man’s body, piercing right through him.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan had shown restraint and deliberately aimed between the internal organs, sparing the old man’s life.
Had Ye Xuan been a cruel killer, the man in blue would now be a cold corpse.
"Thank you for sparing my life," said the man in blue, his face flush with shame as he bowed to Ye Xuan before clutching his wound and stepping down from the stage.
Ye Xuan didn’t want to kill needlessly. Indeed, those like him who had once held high positions knew all the more the value of life. Why condemn a man to death without profound enmity?
