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

On the other side, Prime Minister Qin Nan broke out in a cold sweat; this time, he had made a mistake...

Yan Jingyao nodded indifferently, but a cold smile still appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Girl, fight with all your might. No matter the outcome, I'll take care of it for you," a voice suddenly echoed in Ye Wuxi's mind.

Upon hearing this telepathic message, Ye Wuxi couldn't help but turn her head and look at the young woman in the stands.

Yan Jingyao smiled at her, and Ye Wuxi's expression brightened. This young woman seemed to hold a high position in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Does her saying this mean she intends to recruit her back to the Heavenly Sword Sect?

Little did Ye Wuxi know, at the same moment he heard the telepathic message, a voice also echoed in Qin Hao's mind, "Boy, it seems impossible for you to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Kill that girl, and the Wind Spirit Sect will definitely cultivate you highly in the future..."

Wang Yan's voice was familiar. Qin Hao hesitated. Killing Ye Wuxi in public...

There is competition between sects. If the Wind Spirit Sect can't get her, the Heavenly Sword Sect shouldn't even think about it either. Wang Yan's face turned cold, and he continued to transmit his voice, "A fair and square competition, no one will say anything if she dies. Don't worry, if you kill her, this elder will guarantee your safety..."

Qin Hao gritted his teeth and made his decision. With Ye Wuxi around, what good days could he possibly have...?

"No regrets, since that's the case, let's settle this today."

Ye Wuxi sneered; she was tired of hearing such insincere words…

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense, and they both moved their longswords simultaneously.

The next moment, Qin Hao leaped into the air, his aura surging, pale red true energy swirling around him, and the aura of the third level of the Xuanwu realm erupted suddenly. The longsword in his hand shone brightly, and with a single strike, it burned like a raging flame.

"Roaring Flames"

A crimson sword aura, wreathed in flames, crackled and popped.

Seeing this sword strike, Ye Wuxi's eyes narrowed slightly. This Qin Hao truly lived up to his reputation as a Xuanwu Level 3 expert; combined with this sword technique, he was not to be underestimated.

"Sunset Slash," Ye Wuxi unleashed the full power of his Five Elements True Qi.

A sharp sword aura, imbued with the intent of death, collided with the raging flames.

With a loud boom, the sword energy exploded, sending up a cloud of dust on the arena.

"Wildfire Spreads!" An instant annihilation followed, and Qin Hao drew his sword once more, its power even greater.

Qin Hao sneered, "Let's see how you block now."

This sword strike, like a raging inferno, was twice as powerful as the previous one.

"is it?"

Ye Wuxi remained unfazed, his calm voice ringing out. Suddenly, countless sword shadows appeared in the void, streaks of black sword light moving with lightning speed.

"Flowing Sword Shadow!"

The sword energy, shrouded in a black aura of destruction, once again annihilated the red sword energy, scattering it without a trace.

"This swordsmanship... your eighth-grade talent is indeed impressive. I underestimated you. But with the next strike, you won't have another chance."

Qin Hao looked surprised but remained arrogant as he spoke. He was familiar with Ye Wuxi, and Ye Wuxi's combat strength had never been this strong before.

Ye Wuxi's swordsmanship should be of a similar grade to his Crimson Flame Swordsmanship; he refused to believe that the four-level difference in cultivation could be so easily bridged.

After saying that, Qin Hao's aura changed again. He became like a peerless sword, its sharpness fully revealed, and a fierce sword aura soared into the sky.

The next moment, Qin Hao stomped his foot and shot forward, instantly closing in on Ye Wuxi.

A crimson sword light flashed, like a fire dragon descending to earth, incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, the fire dragon's light pierced right in front of Ye Wuxi.

"Crimson Fire Annihilation"

This sword strike, true to its name, was as swift as lightning and as powerful as thunder.

"Not bad, I didn't expect this kid to have also grasped the essence of swordsmanship," Sun Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Dongxu smiled and said, "Elder, do you think this boy is qualified to join the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Ye Wuxi's attitude was ambiguous, and Ye Xicheng was unyielding, so he naturally preferred to support the Qin family.

Wang Yan said unhappily, "What, does the prince mean that our Fengling Sect will no longer be recruiting students in Tianfeng Kingdom?"

Lin Dongxu's eyes darkened, and he quickly smiled, "How could that be? I just thought his swordsmanship was quite good, and it suited the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Wang Yan snorted coldly, and Yan Jingyao said lazily, "Wang Yan, don't worry, we have no interest in competing with your Fengling Sect for disciples. As for that kid, he's still a bit short of being able to join the Tianjian Sect."

Sun Sheng looked at him with some doubt. That kid couldn't be that bad, could he? He seemed qualified.

Yan Jingyao glared at him coldly. If she said no, then no. Qin Hao was clearly dishonest. True sword cultivators were all upright and honest people. This was also why she disliked Lin Dongxu...

Sun Sheng touched his nose and didn't say anything. Although they were both outer sect elders, he knew that Yan Jingyao's influence far exceeded his.

The crowd erupted in uproar upon seeing Qin Hao's sword strike.

Ye Xicheng, Ye Qingqing, and the others in the stands immediately tensed up, looking worriedly at Ye Wuxi on the battle stage.

Although they had witnessed the power of the final move of the Azure Sky Sword Technique before, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. Could Wuxi really block this sword strike?

Ye Xicheng shook his head inwardly. This sword strike was so powerful that Wuxi might not be able to withstand it. He needed to be prepared to intervene at any moment... Wuxi couldn't afford to suffer any further harm.

On the battle stage, Ye Wuxi felt a sense of crisis. This sword strike was the strongest attack she had ever encountered.

No longer holding back, the true energy in his five dantians was completely drained, and the power of the five elements surged wildly into the longsword.

With a slight shift of her feet, the Cold Moon Sword trembled. Ye Wuxi's eyes became calm and deep, her long dress fluttering and her black hair dancing.

"The Sword of Death"

Instantly, the void seemed to freeze, leaving only a black, extinguished sword light piercing through the darkness.

The next moment, the black sword energy of death struck first, accurately hitting the flaming sword.

The two swords clashed, producing a deafening explosion.

Qin Hao felt two terrifying auras sweep over him. Instantly, he felt his blood surging, and his longsword and the true energy throughout his body seemed to have encountered something horrifying.

The deathly sword energy was not annihilated; it continued its unstoppable momentum as it slashed towards him.

Cracks appeared on the arena, and those nearby quickly retreated.

"The Sword of Subtlety!" A strange light appeared in Yan Jingyao's eyes.

Ye Wuxi's sword strike just now had already progressed from mere momentum to a subtle, almost tangible form.

Sun Sheng said in a deep voice, "This woman is indeed extraordinary."

Generally speaking, only those at the Xuanwu realm begin to comprehend sword intent, and only those at the Diwu realm can truly grasp its subtlety. Yet Ye Wuxi, at only the Lingwu realm, has already achieved this, truly a promising talent for sword cultivation.

Ye Wuxi stood on the arena, her face deathly pale, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.

Qin Hao had already been blasted off the stage, looking disheveled and filled with disbelief.

Ye Wuxi frowned slightly. Her cultivation was still far too weak. Her final attack had drained all of Qin Hao's energy, but unfortunately, she still couldn't kill him.

But she ultimately won this battle. Her true energy was exhausted; if this attack hadn't been powerful enough, she would have had no choice but to admit defeat...
