Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

"Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves Slash!" Ye Yue roared, determined to beat Ye Wuxi to a pulp today.

Ye Wuxi pouted. If she had used her ultimate move right from the start, there might have been a chance. But now… if she wanted to get herself into trouble, she shouldn't blame her.

Unleashing his Five Elements True Qi, Ye Wuxi used the Shadow Step to quickly appear in front of Ye Yue, swiftly unleashing several Falling Flower Palm strikes.

"Ah..." Hazuki didn't even have time to unleash her next sword technique before being slammed to the ground...

Ye Wuxi smiled and unleashed both palms simultaneously. In the previous battle, she had only used the power of two dantians; this time, she was using the power of all five elements.

Noisy people deserve a lesson.

The earth-shattering battle that everyone imagined was not the one they had envisioned.

A bizarre scene unfolded on stage: Ye Yue, a ninth-level Spirit Martial Realm cultivator, was lying on the ground, being brutally beaten by Ye Wuxi, an eighth-level Spirit Martial Realm cultivator, without any power to resist.

The endless barrage of falling flower palm strikes, coupled with Hazuki's screams, left the onlookers stunned...

"This……"

"The young lady is so fierce"

The people in the audience watched this scene and whispered among themselves.

Ye Wuxi was usually seen as a cold and aloof young lady, but they never expected her to be so brutal when she beat people up.

The Third Elder's face was grim. How could this be? With Ye Wuxi's cultivation level, even if the Falling Flower Palm was a Yellow Extreme martial skill, he shouldn't have been able to fight for so long...

"General, please tell the young lady to stop! The competition is imminent, if Yue'er..."

Ye Xicheng said with a half-smile, "Third Elder, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say that if your skills are inferior, you won't be selected even if you go to the competition..."

Chen Shuhui felt extremely pleased. This old bastard had been particularly hostile to Xi'er before, and now Ye Yue should also learn her lesson...

Hazuki on the stage coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. She was unwilling to accept it. She had already mastered the Aoki Sword Technique, but hadn't even finished using it yet, and now she couldn't move at all...

Ye Wuxi remained calm and composed. Her inner energy was abundant; she could easily practice the Falling Flower Palm technique for another hour. However, bullying a child was pointless.

He channeled all his Five Elements True Qi and unleashed a final, devastating Falling Flower Palm strike.

Hazuki was blasted off the stage and immediately passed out...

The Third Elder and Ye Hu quickly came to Ye Yue's side and examined her.

"Take Yue'er back to rest..." the Third Elder commanded sternly, channeling several streams of true energy into her.

Ye Hu landed on the arena with a displeased expression. "Wu Xi, we're all family, why did you have to use such force..."

Ye Wuxi said calmly, "Didn't the Third Elder say that we should just leave him alive?"

Besides, Hazuki is determined to get rid of her; she's no saint...

Ye Hu snorted coldly, "Let's fight."

Ye Wuxi looked at him calmly and said, "If you only have the cultivation of the ninth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, I think we shouldn't fight."

Although Ye Hu was Ye Yue's older brother, he didn't show much malice towards her, and she didn't mind giving him a few words of advice...

Ye Hu lowered his eyes. Although Ye Wuxi's cultivation was not as strong as before after recovering his dantian, his combat power had greatly increased.

This is really strange. They're using the same martial arts techniques, so how come the power is several times greater in her hands?

Could it be that the patriarch really found some powerful figure? And perhaps, in some mysterious way, even enhanced Ye Wuxi's talent...?

"With my cultivation at the ninth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, I might not be able to defeat her," Ye Hu said in a deep voice. "I know you are strong, but I will definitely win this battle."

Ye Wuxi understood his implication and said calmly, "Please."

Ye Hu stomped his foot and roared, "Ninefold Vajra Fist..."

Ye Wuxi remained unfazed. This Vajra Fist was a low-grade Xuanji martial art, where the power could be stacked, making each punch stronger than the last.

Ye Hu is clearly quite skilled.

But that wasn't enough. Circulating his inner energy, Ye Wuxi met the attack with another Falling Flower Palm strike.

As the palm strike collided with the fist, Ye Hu took a few steps back, somewhat surprised...

Ye Wuxi said lazily, "Show me your true strength..."

Ye Hu's expression turned grave. "You are indeed very strong. If you hadn't broken through, I might really have been unable to deal with you."

Those around him were shocked. Had Ye Hu broken through to the Xuanwu Realm? Ye Hu was only seventeen years old; to break through to the Xuanwu Realm so quickly was truly remarkable.

Of course, it's nothing compared to Ye Wuxi before...

As expected, Ye Hu's aura on the arena rose steadily, with faint, light red true energy surrounding his body.

"Xuanwu Realm!" The crowd below erupted in an uproar.

The transformation of true qi into true profound qi and its outward release is the hallmark of the Profound Martial Realm. Ye Hu has actually broken through...

The Third Elder on the high platform stroked his beard, a smug look on his face. He had spared no expense for Ye Yue and Ye Hu in preparation for the competition.

If Ye Hu takes first place, with the help of the Purple Spirit Pill, then Ye Yue entering the Profound Martial Realm will be no problem. In this Ye family, his descendants are the strongest…

Ye Wuxi wasn't surprised. Ye Hu's fire attribute had reached the middle fifth rank, and with the Third Elder's backing, he certainly wouldn't have to worry about resources...

Ye Hu said in a deep voice, "Wu Xi, the gap between the Spirit Martial Realm and the Profound Martial Realm is not something you can easily overcome. You should just admit defeat."

Ye Wuxi knew this, of course. Her master had also said that she could only fight opponents five levels higher than her own realm. The gap between major realms was huge. She had never fought against someone in the Profound Martial Realm before, so she didn't know their strength and wouldn't underestimate them.

With the Cold Moon Sword unfurled, Ye Wuxi said calmly, "Who wins and who loses will only be known after the competition."

Ye Hu said coldly, "I won't bully you. You make the first move."

Ye Wuxi nodded without hesitation, and without holding back, he circulated his Five Elements True Qi and softly shouted, "Sunset Slash..."

A sharp sword light suddenly appeared in the void above the stage, piercing through the air and sweeping towards Ye Hu...

"It's actually the Azure Sky Sword Technique..."

The Grand Elder on the high platform stood up, his face showing surprise.

"Young Miss, you've actually mastered this sword technique?"

After a moment of surprise, Ye Xicheng and Chen Shuhui's faces returned to smiles of relief. They hadn't expected that Wuxi would become even stronger after going through this ordeal...

Disbelief flashed across Ye Hu's face, followed by a furious roar: "Blazing Sun Kill!"

The Ye family only has one copy of the Xuanji Sword Technique with fire attribute. Ye Fei had used this move before, but it was far less powerful than Ye Hu's move.

A dazzling display of sword light erupted on the arena as two sword energies clashed, producing a piercing sound.

Finally, Ye Hu actually took a few steps back.

Ye Wuxi smiled faintly. She already understood the difference in strength between the Xuanwu realm and the Xuanwu realm. She could still fight across the gap, but it wouldn't be as easy...

Having ascertained the difference in skill, Ye Wuxi's eyes remained calm as he made his move once more.

"Flowing Light and Shadow of Swords"

So fast that by the time everyone could see clearly, the sword light had already reached Ye Hu.

Ye Hu brandished his longsword, quickly creating a shield of swords to defend himself.

With a deafening roar, the Cold Moon Sword slashed down, its fierce momentum shattering the sword curtain and sending Ye Hu crashing to the edge of the arena...

"how so……"

"This Azure Sky Sword Technique is incredibly powerful..."

The people below the stage looked at each other in disbelief. The eighth level of the Spirit Martial Realm had actually repelled someone from the Profound Martial Realm; this was simply unheard of...
