At that moment, time seemed to freeze, even the breeze seemed to stop, and even the faintest breaths disappeared. The whole world seemed to fall into an eerie silence.

After a brief moment of mental blankness, the members of the Gale Mercenary Group finally came to their senses. Their gazes fell unanimously on Wu Haotian, who was kneeling on the ground and lifeless. Their grief and anger, like a flood bursting its banks, turned into heart-wrenching howls that echoed throughout the dueling arena.

Bei Chen Haoyu and Feng Shengxie on the high platform were also deeply shocked by this scene. They looked at each other, not knowing how to describe their feelings at this moment.

"Leng Aotian, prepare to die!"

Black Blade's voice suddenly rang out in the deathly silence, his eyes turning crimson like flames with anger and grief, and a roar bursting from the depths of his throat that shook the heavens and the earth.

The veins on his neck bulged, and the longsword he gripped trembled under the surge of martial power, as if it could unleash destructive force at any moment.

At this critical moment, Lu Lingxi's dark eyes sharpened, and her movements were as swift as lightning. She suddenly swung her right hand forward, and a dazzling light burst out from her palm at an astonishing speed.

Black Blade was completely absorbed in his vengeful rage and had not expected this attack. In an instant, the light pierced through his chest, the longsword went through his body, and a shrill scream tore through the sky. His body fell helplessly like a leaf and crashed heavily to the ground. The longsword in his chest was conspicuous and glaring, and at the same time, it also announced the end of his fate.

Seeing Black Blade die before his eyes, Zhang Laosan's face twisted in agony, like a demon from hell, as he growled in a low voice, "I'll kill you..."

Lu Lingxi's figure was like a light willow catkin, spinning rapidly in the wind, gracefully dodging Zhang Laosan's long sword that suddenly slashed from the side at an incredible angle.

Then, with a gentle turn of her hand, the longsword that had been deeply embedded in the black blade's chest and stained with blood miraculously returned to her hand along an invisible trajectory.

The moment the longsword returned, its blade seemed to come alive, shimmering with a fiery crimson light, as if reborn from the fires of hell, carrying an irresistible destructive power.

With a slight flick of Lu Lingxi's wrist, the flaming longsword sliced ​​through the air and hurtled towards Zhang Laosan. Its speed was like that of a shooting star streaking across the night sky, leaving behind a dazzling yet deadly trail.

Faced with this sudden and fatal blow, Zhang Laosan's eyes first flashed with disbelief, followed by deep fear and horror.

He instinctively sensed the approaching intense heat, enough to incinerate everything. With all his might, Zhang Laosan pushed off the ground with his heels and spun rapidly, trying to dodge the fatal sword strike.

Lu Lingxi's dark eyes turned cold. The moment she realized that Zhang Laosan was trying to escape, an undeniable determination flashed in her eyes.

She slowly raised her palm, and the faint, flickering flame on her palm seemed to sense its master's will, suddenly expanding and transforming into a ferocious beast head with rolling flames, roaring and lunging at Zhang Laosan's trembling back with an aura that could burn everything.

"what--!"

Zhang Laosan's screams were sharp and desperate. Before he could escape more than a few steps, his figure was completely swallowed up by the beast head formed from pure flames.

Amidst the flames, Zhang Laosan's figure rapidly twisted and shrank. Accompanied by the crackling sound of flesh being licked by the flames, a pungent smell of burning quickly filled the air, making it suffocating.

Immediately following were several faint but clearly audible cracking sounds, proof that the bones and muscles could not withstand the high temperature and ultimately turned into nothingness.

As the red flames gradually died down and the surroundings fell into complete silence, leaving only wisps of black smoke rising, Zhang Laosan's figure had completely vanished from this world without a trace.

At this moment, only deathly silence remained. Those pairs of eyes were filled with deep astonishment and shock. Their lips were half open, but they seemed unable to utter even the simplest exclamation.

Lu Lingxi stood alone in the center of the arena. Behind her were two lifeless bodies. One lay quietly, the other knelt in humiliation, and the third had vanished without a trace.

"Blazing Flame Victory!"

The referee's voice was like a gentle breeze, soothing the bewildered minds of the crowd. After a moment, the silence in the crowd was finally broken. First came sporadic shouts, then like a flood bursting its banks, people shouted and cheered at the top of their lungs. This wave of cheers was a celebration of victory, an acknowledgment of Lu Lingxi Yao's amazing strength, and an endless reminiscence of this wonderful duel.

On the high platform, Bei Chen Haoyu looked at Lu Lingxi Yao's figure and sighed in admiration.

"She truly is a genius!"

Beside him, Feng Shengxie wore a playful smile, his eyes filled with both admiration and amazement. He gently shook his head, "It should be said, he's a monstrous genius!"

This year's Mercenary Rating Tournament has finally come to a close, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others. But undeniably, this year's competition was spectacular and has left a deep impression on everyone.

Of particular note was the five-star Blazing Flame Mercenary Group, which had suffered a significant loss of strength and was facing demotion. At this year's rating conference, they displayed one miracle after another. In particular, the addition of that young man who was skilled in both spiritual and martial arts brought about a qualitative leap in the team's strength. From that day on, a resounding name would be imprinted in everyone's heart: Blazing Flame.
