章 205: The Clash of Powers - Ling Jie vs Yun Che

In the grand halls of the Heavenly Sword Villa, three legendary swords are revered above all others: the Limitless Sword, the Celestial Yuan Sword, and the Celestial Yang Sword. Each blade is imbued with ancient power, but none more so than the Limitless Sword, whose strength is unrivaled. The Celestial Yuan and Yang Swords, while weaker individually, form a potent duo when wielded in harmony. However, despite their immense power, no one in recent years has succeeded in wielding both swords together with true mastery. That is, until Ling Yun and his younger brother, Ling Jie, arrived.

Ling Yun, a paragon of swordsmanship, held the Celestial Yuan Sword, while his younger brother, Ling Jie, controlled the Celestial Yang Sword. Through Ling Yun's spiritual guidance, Ling Jie learned the secret technique to fuse the two swords into the Yuan Yang Combination. This combination unlocked a power capable of rivaling the Limitless Sword, though Ling Jie's mastery was far from perfect. With the guidance of his older brother, Ling Jie stepped into the battlefield, eager to test his newfound strength against Yun Che.

With both swords in hand, Ling Jie launched a series of rapid strikes at Yun Che, the energy of the Yuan Yang Combination lighting up the sky. The sheer might of the two swords was overwhelming, and the arena trembled under the force of their clash. As Yun Che faced the onslaught, Ling Jie couldn't help but acknowledge the unique advantage the dual swords gave him. Still, he knew deep down that without the Celestial Yuan Sword, he stood little chance against Yun Che's indomitable resolve.

Despite the incredible force of Ling Jie's combined swords, Yun Che remained steadfast. His body, strengthened by his Ryou Haki, absorbed the blows that would have shattered lesser opponents. His defense was unyielding, though Ling Jie's power grew with each strike. Sensing the immense pressure, Yun Che activated his Haki Tekkai to harden his body further and used Shave to dodge some of the faster blows, but the relentless barrage kept him on the defensive.

With his confidence rising, Ling Jie activated his signature technique, the Moon Break. It was a swift, deadly sword move designed to tear through any defense. Yun Che gritted his teeth, bracing himself for the impact. Despite his defenses, the blade's force pushed him back, leaving shallow cuts across his skin. The power of the strike was undeniable.

Ling Jie's relentless barrage of attacks pushed Yun Che further into a defensive position. The audience, witnessing the overwhelming might of Ling Jie's swordsmanship, held their breath in awe. The sword beams seemed to cut through the very air itself, and the ground cracked beneath Yun Che's feet as he struggled to keep up.

As the battle continued, Yun Che could feel the internal damage mounting. The sword strikes were not only physical; they were filled with profound energy that caused injuries beneath his skin. Yet, despite the pain, Yun Che's Supreme King's Haki began to leak from within him. His will to fight surged, and he found himself resisting the urge to use his Profound Strength. His determination hardened, his body and mind steeled for the final confrontation.

The intense pressure of Ling Jie's attacks only fueled Yun Che's determination. With the power of the Supreme King's Haki coursing through him, Yun Che made a vow to end the battle using only his physical strength and Haki. His body radiated with an aura of indomitable will as he prepared for his final stand.

Ling Jie, impressed by Yun Che's resolve, could not help but feel a twinge of respect. He knew that Yun Che had been holding back during their earlier exchanges, and now, he fully embraced the challenge. "If you can defeat me now," Ling Jie called out, "I'll call you my Second Boss. But don't think it'll be easy!"

With an unwavering gaze, Yun Che looked at Ling Jie and smirked. "You think I've been holding back? You're right," he said calmly. "But now, I'll show you my true strength." Yun Che's eyes blazed with resolve as he prepared to unleash his full power.

Channeling the ancient Fire Breathing technique through his body, Yun Che entered a profound state of concentration. His senses expanded, merging with nature itself. Everything around him seemed to slow down as he felt the pulse of the earth, the wind, and the fire within him. In this state, he was one with his surroundings, and his strikes would carry the weight of the universe itself.

With the power of Ryou Haki and the Fire Breathing technique combined, Yun Che vanished from sight. His fist, coated with the essence of the Ryou Haki, shot forward with overwhelming force. The punch struck with the fury of a volcanic eruption, creating a massive crater upon impact. Ling Jie was sent hurtling back, barely able to keep his balance as the shockwaves from the punch spread throughout the arena.

Despite the overwhelming force of Yun Che's strike, Ling Jie quickly regained his footing and launched a counterattack. With a swift motion, he unleashed his Flowing Light Slash, a technique designed to strike from multiple angles. However, Yun Che was unfazed. He countered again with another punch, even stronger this time, the shockwaves pushing Ling Jie to the edge of the arena. The power of Yun Che's strikes was beyond anything Ling Jie had ever faced.

The fight continued with a flurry of brutal exchanges. Yun Che's strikes caused massive destruction, and Ling Jie struggled to match the intensity. His dual swords, once a symbol of his strength, now seemed inadequate against the relentless barrage of punches and attacks from Yun Che. The entire arena trembled with each blow.

As the battle raged on, Ling Jie began to understand the truth behind Yun Che's earlier words. His strength was far beyond what Ling Jie had imagined. The man standing before him was not just a powerful fighter; he was a force of nature, his strength seemingly limitless.

Desperation filled Ling Jie's heart. He had one last technique, the Heaven's Might Absolute Sword—Moon Break, a move capable of shattering mountains. With his swords glowing with power, he launched the attack with all his remaining strength. However, Yun Che counters this attack with his own "Ultimate Fire Rokuogun" resulting in a catastrophic clashand unleashed his ultimate counterattack.

As Yun Che prepare to attack, memories of his training with Big bro Raja flooded his mind. Raja had taught him how to coat his fists with Supreme King's Haki, give him an immense power boost. Now, Yun Che was ready to use that power to crush Ling Jie's final hope.

Ling Jie, after narrowly dodging the attack, finally comprehends the full extent of Yun Che's strength. He is left in awe, realizing that Yun Che's earlier restraint was genuine, and he can no longer hope to defeat him.

Ling Jie launches his strongest attack, "Heaven's Might Absolute Sword, Final Form — Radiant Sky", creating a colossal sword that shines brighter than the sun. The attack is so powerful it shatters the arena's barrier and causes cracks to spread across the stage.

Despite the overwhelming attack, Yun Che stands firm, unaffected by the immense pressure. His expression remains indifferent, and he prepares to confront the attack head-on with his Supreme King Haki.

Just as the Radiant Sky Sword is about to strike him, Yun Che King's Haki erupts with intense power and he uses his Modified Big Bro's Signature Move Fire Tempest Breaker, a Ultimate Fire Breathing Punch by coating Supreme King Haki on His fist .

The two forces collided with a deafening explosion. A storm of energy and fire erupted, engulfing the entire arena in a violent blaze. The force of Yun Che's punch shattered Ling Jie's attack, sending shockwaves through the arena. The Radiant Sky Sword, Ling Jie's strongest move, was obliterated.

Ling Jie was sent flying, his body battered and weakened. His swords, once shining with power, were now dull and lifeless. He struggled to stand, his face pale and filled with disbelief. Despite his best efforts, he had been thoroughly defeated.

Yun Che stood at the center of the devastation, his clothes torn but his body unscathed. He radiated with calm confidence, his eyes locked on Ling Jie. The battle had taken its toll, but Yun Che had emerged victorious.

Overwhelmed by the sheer power of Yun Che's attack, Ling Jie collapsed to the ground. "I surrender... I'll never fight you again," he shouted in defeat. He felt crushed, realizing the immense power that Yun Che possessed, far beyond his own.

As Ling Jie lay on the ground, he reflected on the battle. Yun Che's strength had completely dominated him. The pressure of Yun Che's Supreme King's Haki had suffocated him, rendering his swordsmanship useless. Ling Jie finally understood that Yun Che's earlier claims of holding back had been no exaggeration. The battle was over, and he had been utterly outmatched.

Ling Jie looked toward his father, Ling Yuefeng, who had always dismissed physical body practice. In that moment, Ling Jie realized the truth. The strength Yun Che had displayed was terrifying, and it was not just his swordsmanship that had won the battle—it was his immense physical power and mastery of his body. Ling Jie regretted ever underestimating the importance of such strength.
