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

Yan Jingyao raised an eyebrow and said, "Elder Wang is right, we were indeed just passing by, stopping by to see if there were any promising talents..."

Wang Yan's face suddenly turned ugly; these two were clearly trying to steal him away.

Elder Sun said calmly, "Elder Wang, let's start the competition quickly. We also want to see how strong these people are."

The Heavenly Sword Sect primarily focuses on sword cultivators; talent is only one aspect. Without profound mastery of the sword, one cannot succeed.

Wang Yan snorted coldly and could only announce loudly to those below, "Alright, the competition continues. The second round is a free-for-all; those who are knocked off the stage will be eliminated, leaving only one hundred to advance to the next round."

These words immediately put everyone on the stage on alert. Teamwork was crucial in this round; no matter how strong an individual was, it was easy to be knocked out by a coordinated attack.

The Ye family members quickly gathered around Ye Wuxi. Ye Yue and Ye Hu looked somewhat reluctant, but they eventually came over anyway.

Ye Wuxi glanced at Ye Hu and Ye Yue, who seemed somewhat reluctant, and said calmly, "Now that we're all in the same boat, it's best to work together."

Ye Hu and Ye Yue nodded helplessly. Now that Ye Wuxi's talent had been tested and proven to be so good, they had no desire to oppose him...

The Ye family members were united in the chaos; internal strife would bring them no benefit. Meanwhile, the royal family and the Qin family were also converging on Qin Hao as the center of their forces.

Lin Qianrou whispered to Qin Hao, "Brother Hao, should we take this opportunity to eliminate the Ye family...?"

Qin Hao said in a deep voice, "Very well, then, listen to my orders and attack the Ye family together."

Ye Wuxi, who had been observing them from a distance, couldn't help but sneer as she watched.

Ye Qing whispered, "Wu Xi, it looks like they're going to concentrate their forces on us. What should we do?"

Ye Wuxi said with a faint smile, "We are outnumbered, so we don't need to confront them head-on. Let's avoid them for now and just help us drive the others away..."

Ye Qing smiled and said, "It's up to Wu Xi."

Having said that, the Ye family members showed no mercy and attacked the group of people standing nearby.

Ye Wuxi also drew his Cold Moon Sword and unleashed the Blazing Sun Slash.

In an instant, Taichung saw a significant decrease in its population.

The forces of the imperial city also banded together and blasted towards the people from other cities. In an instant, half of the people on the stage were gone.

Qin Hao said in a deep voice, "This is bad, the numbers are dwindling quickly. Leave Ye Wuxi to me, you guys deal with the rest of the Ye family."

Lin Qianrou and the others nodded.

A surge of Xuanwu level three aura erupted, and Qin Hao, leading both families, stomped forward and arrived at the Ye family's side.

Ye Wuxi's lips curled into a mocking smile as she swiftly dodged Qin Hao using the Shadow Step technique.

It aimed straight at Lin Qianrou and unleashed a Sunset Slash.

Lin Qianrou's face showed panic; she hadn't expected Ye Wuxi's target to be her.

Neither the Qin family nor the royal family were aware of the danger; this sudden sword strike had directly blasted Lin Qianrou away.

Qin Hao's face turned ashen, and his Xuanwu level three aura suddenly erupted as he slammed a palm towards Ye Wuxi...

Suddenly, a powerful voice rang out from the north stands, "The second round of melee is over, everyone stop..."

Qin Hao's face was ashen; the number of players was being eliminated too quickly, yet his attacks failed to land on Ye Wuxi.

Lin Qianrou, sitting in the audience, gritted her teeth, her face grim. She, a princess of the royal family, had been eliminated in this very round; how could she possibly enter the Fengling Sect now?

From the north stands, Wang Yan said in a deep voice, "Next is the third round, the arena competition. It will be a two-on-one battle, with all five arenas operating simultaneously. Those whose jade tokens light up will go up to the high platform to compete..."

The fact that Tianfeng Kingdom had produced two promising talents this year should have been a cause for celebration, but his expression was not good. What use were promising talents when there were still two powerful figures sitting above them...

How could the Wind Spirit Sect possibly compete with the Heavenly Sword Sect? This competition is just a waste of time and effort anyway, why should he bother... He can just pick randomly.

Ye Wuxi looked at the jade token at her waist; it was quite amazing that the token could sense things automatically.

Slowly, more and more people rushed onto the arena, but Ye Wuxi was not involved in the first group of five battles.

By this round, the difference in cultivation levels among the participants wasn't significant. The probability of selecting fifty people from one hundred to enter the Wind Spirit Sect was still quite high, and no one wanted to give up…

Suddenly, the jade tablet began to flash, and Ye Wuxi landed on the arena without hesitation.

Her opponent is none other than Lin Yang from the royal family, whose talent is comparable to Ye Yue's, and who has already reached the first level of the Xuanwu realm...

Ye Wuxi's lips curled into a smile. The royal family's arrival was just in time; if they fell into her hands, they could just wait to be eliminated.

Lin Yang snorted coldly, "Ye Wuxi, don't think you can beat me just because you have good talent. You're only at the ninth level of the Spirit Martial Realm. You should just leave now."

The resources and connections of the royal family are naturally unmatched by other families. Besides the Wind Spirit Sect, they certainly have other options. The people who appeared in this competition are not particularly strong; someone like Lin Dongxu has long since left the royal family.

Ye Wuxi said lazily, "Stop with the nonsense, just make your move..."

With a sudden change in his aura, Lin Yang unleashed a burst of pale red true energy, displaying his Xuanwu level cultivation without holding back. He unleashed the "Overbearing Fist."

Ye Wuxi remained unfazed, showing no intention of testing them. He fully activated his Five Elements True Qi, using the Shadow Step to swiftly unleash a Falling Flower Palm strike.

The fierce winds of the fist and palm collided violently.

Lin Yang was blasted off the building. "How is this possible..."

Ye Wuxi naturally wouldn't explain to her that with each level she broke through, her combat power underwent a qualitative leap...

Sun Sheng, watching from the stands, murmured, "This woman is a bit strange..."

Yan Jingyao nodded. "That's right. Fighting opponents of higher levels isn't unusual, but the martial art she just used was clearly only at the Yellow Extreme level..."

Powerful martial arts techniques and secret methods can increase combat power, but Ye Wuxi didn't use any powerful methods at all.

Sun Sheng frowned and asked, "Is there some kind of special physique?"

Yan Jingyao shook her head, "I can't see through it either, let's keep watching..."

Lin Tianba, Lin Dongxu, and the others standing to the side didn't look too good. The royal family members were being eliminated one after another, which was also embarrassing for them.

Ye Wuxi looked towards the arena, where Qin Hao had just punched his opponent away.

Qin Hao noticed her gaze and lowered his eyes slightly. It was impossible for him not to regret it now; Ye Wuxi was far superior to Lin Qianrou in both appearance and talent.

She was truly a woman of exceptional talent and privilege, yet he abandoned her. Now it's too late to say all this; he can sense that Ye Wuxi's feelings for him are truly gone.

She even hated him and regarded him as an enemy...

The third round ended quickly.

Four members of the Ye family were selected for this competition: Ye Wuxi, Ye Yue, Ye Hu, and Ye Qing.

Compared to previous years, this was already quite good; Ye Xicheng, standing on the platform, nodded with some relief…

Wang Yan, however, seemed somewhat uninterested, and said indifferently, "Your Majesty, as for this ranking battle, I'll leave it to you..."

Lin Tianba said with a smile, "Alright, Elder Wang, please rest for a while..."

The rewards for the top ten in each year have always been paid by the royal family. This is also a way for the royal family to win people's hearts. In the future, when these people enter the sect and become strong, they will remember the royal family's kindness and serve the Tianfeng Kingdom...
