The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

If he were truly an ordinary person, how could he have personally brought him back to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect and betrothed his precious granddaughter to him?

"Father has the best eye, but I've noticed that Xue'er has already taken a liking to this boy in just a few days. That's quite unexpected..."

Su Xuan looked at Su Zhen with admiration, then paused and said something.

"This kid isn't a bad person, but he's not a very honest one. It's a blessing that Xueya met him."

Su Zhen's smile remained unchanged, and he did not explain what he had said, but there was a hint of smugness in his eyes.

He was confident in his granddaughter's appearance, and Ye Feng had often complained about her in the Great Li Dynasty, never believing her. He was going to find an opportunity to tease that kid.

"No matter what, as long as they are both willing, then there is nothing wrong with it. Xue's problem will not be delayed for too long. Before she reaches the Sword Soul Realm, it will eventually need to be resolved."

Su Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then guessed what was going on, but he didn't show the anger that a father should have. Instead, he looked at Ye Feng with increasing satisfaction.

In this continent of swords, there is no other son-in-law who satisfies him as much as Ye Feng.

For him, it also represents the future, the vast world, that realm, which he also yearns for.

"After they get married, Ye Feng will be sent to the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm to cultivate..."

"We need to help him improve his strength as quickly as possible; the rules of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect should be changed..."

"..."

While the two were talking, the battle on the dueling platform continued.

"But it's not over yet..."

After breaking through Cheng Yue's sword technique, the icy blue sword wheel emitted by Ye Fengxuan Ice Sword dimmed considerably, but did not completely dissipate.

Then, with a thought, Ye Feng sent the remaining ice wheel soaring into the sky, carrying a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the heavens and earth, heading straight for Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue was shocked and furious, and quickly swung his Crimson Flame Sword to block.

"Clang! Clang!"

The ice wheel fragments collided with the Crimson Flame Sword, producing a series of crisp sounds. With each collision, a bone-chilling coldness traveled along the sword, causing Cheng Yue's arm to go numb and his movements to become much slower.

Ye Feng moved like the wind, closely following the shards of the Ice Wheel. His Xuanbing Sword transformed into streaks of icy blue afterimages, attacking Cheng Yue from all angles.

For a moment, Cheng Yue was forced into a flurry of activity and could only defend passively, completely losing his previous imposing manner.

"This... Cheng Yue was completely suppressed...!"

"Ye Feng's sword is too fast, and every strike carries a chilling aura, completely suppressing Cheng Yue's Crimson Flame Sword Qi..."

The Burning Heaven Sword Sect disciples watching the battle were dumbfounded. They had thought today's competition would be a fierce battle, and many even thought Cheng Yue would win easily, given the difference in their cultivation levels.

However, in the current situation, Ye Feng clearly has the upper hand.

Su Qingxue's tightly clenched jade hand had already loosened at some point, and a subtle, unusual light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She never expected that Ye Feng could force Cheng Yue into such a predicament with just her Xuanbing Sword.

"Damn it!"

Cheng Yue felt extremely aggrieved. As a dignified late-stage Sword Soul Realm cultivator, he was being suppressed and beaten by a mere newcomer to the Sword Soul Realm. How could he save face in the future at Li Huo Peak and Burning Heaven Sword Sect?

The Xuanbing Sword in Ye Feng's hand was far too effective against him.

"You rely on the advantage of your sword; otherwise, how could you be my match!"

Cheng Yue struggled to defend against Ye Feng's relentless, chilling attacks, roaring as he tried to salvage some dignity.

It seemed to be a constant reminder to himself and everyone else that Ye Feng's advantage came from that Xuanbing Sword.

"Even without the aid of a sword, so what? Today I'll make you admit defeat wholeheartedly..."

Ye Feng's expression didn't change much; he remained calm and composed as he slowly stopped, halting his relentless attacks.

The boost to combat power from such a high-level sword as the Xuanbing Sword exceeded his expectations, allowing him to easily defeat Cheng Yue, which was different from what he had thought when he first came to the Sword Debate Platform.

Today's duel on the sword arena is a contest between disciples, not a life-or-death feud. Since we've come all this way, we should make Cheng Yue accept defeat wholeheartedly, and also serve as a warning to the others.

There will definitely be more troubles like Cheng Yue's, but he doesn't want anyone in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect to challenge him.

"Arrogant! Without this Xuanbing Sword, let's see what you're capable of."

Cheng Yue looked disdainful and reverted to his previous arrogance.

"One move decides the outcome!"

Ye Feng's voice was extremely cold, filled with absolute confidence. He then turned the Xuanbing Sword in his hand upside down, with the tip pointing downwards, and gently planted it into the bluestone ground beneath his feet.

Seeing that Ye Feng no longer used the Xuanbing Sword, the stands erupted in uproar, with everyone staring at Ye Feng in disbelief.

"Has he gone mad? Without the Xuanbing Sword, how can he fight Cheng Yue..."

"This junior brother is a bit overconfident. He's only at the early stage of the Sword Soul Realm, yet he thinks he can decide the outcome in one move..."

"Although Cheng Yue was suppressed before, that was due to the attribute advantage of the Xuanbing Sword. If it really came down to a head-on clash of sword essence, Ye Feng would have no chance against someone at the late stage of the Sword Soul Realm!"

"..."

Su Qingxue's heart, which had just relaxed, instantly jumped again. She subconsciously wanted to speak up to stop him, but when she saw Ye Feng's calm yet incredibly confident eyes, she swallowed her words.

For some reason, she had a vague feeling that Ye Feng wasn't blindly arrogant.

"Hmph! They're courting death!"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yue was overjoyed, but then a surge of fury at being utterly despised welled up within him.

"Kid, you'll pay the price for your arrogance!"

Having said that, Cheng Yue held nothing back. His sword energy erupted, and flames shot into the sky from the Crimson Flame Sword, even more intense and violent than when he used the Flame Dragon Break technique before.

This time, he will use his absolute strength to wash away the humiliation he just suffered!

"That Cheng Yue is shameless! Ye Feng has already given up on using the Xuanbing Sword, yet he's still wielding that mid-grade sword!"

Jiang Zhenyue frowned slightly, a hint of disdain for Cheng Yue flashing in her bright eyes.

"He should be confident..."

"..."

Just as the other disciples were secretly cursing Cheng Yue for being shameless, Ye Feng's sword energy surged, and his fingertips shone brightly, instantly condensing into an energy sword about three feet long.

"Seven Killings of Meteor Shower, Meteor Falls!"

A deep shout came from Ye Feng's mouth. In an instant, an indescribable sharpness and heaviness, a terrifying sword intent that seemed capable of crushing stars, erupted from the energy sword in Ye Feng's hand!

The moment this sword intent appeared, the air around the entire dueling platform froze, followed by a piercing sonic boom.

Everyone watching, whether they were disciples of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, stewards and elders at the Sword Debate Platform, or even Su Zhen and Su Xuan in the void, all had their expressions change.
