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

The two were evenly matched in cultivation, and both were knocked down without serious injury. Liu Yu'er frowned and said, "Are you sick in the head?"

Wu Wan ignored her and just looked at Ye Wuxi with a cold smile, "So, you're just a Xuanwu level one cultivator, where's your arrogance? Turns out you only know how to hide behind others."

Ye Wuxi was speechless; this guy was definitely crazy.

Liu Yu'er quickly said, "Wu Xi, let's go. Don't pay attention to this sick person."

Yang Kai said coldly, "Who are you calling sick?"

Ye Wuxi said slowly, "I'm talking to the two of you, don't you understand?"

Yang Kai said coldly, "Wan'er is right, you are indeed very arrogant, but I don't know where you get your confidence from."

Having said that, the longsword suddenly appeared in his hand from behind.

A smug look flashed across Wu Wan's face. "Senior Brother Yang, I can handle dealing with her. Why do you need to lift a finger?"

Ye Wuxi's lips curled into a mocking smile, "No need to argue, you two can both come at me together."

If you say she's arrogant, then let her be truly arrogant today.

Liu Yu'er looked startled and said worriedly, "Wu Xi, let me do it."

She knew Wu Xi was talented, but his cultivation level was still a bit low. However, coming from a backwater like Tianfeng Kingdom, she felt this was already quite good. She figured his cultivation would catch up quickly, and there was no need to lower herself to their level.

Ye Wuxi felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "Yu'er, it's alright, you can just watch from the side."

Yang Kai's face darkened. "Wan'er, you don't need to lift a finger. Today I'm going to teach those who don't know their place a lesson. But out of respect for you as a woman, I won't go too far."

Wu Wan nodded and stepped aside. This Ye Wuxi dared to spout such arrogant words, telling them all to come at him together. He was probably just a country bumpkin who didn't know there were people more powerful than him...

Ye Wuxi brandished her Cold Moon Sword and said calmly, "Well, considering you're a human being, I won't go too far."

Fighting is permitted within the Heavenly Sword Sect, but taking lives is forbidden. However, if two individuals have a major feud, they can engage in a life-or-death duel on the arena with their mutual consent.

The men drew their swords, immediately attracting the attention of many onlookers. Not only did the new disciples gather around, but even some of the older disciples came to watch.

The new disciples this year are far superior to those of previous years in both talent and cultivation, with many even surpassing the older disciples in cultivation level.

"Isn't that Yang Kai?"

Yang Kai was no unknown figure; many people in the crowd recognized him.

"That woman is only at the first level of Xuanwu, how did these two get together?"

"Who knows?"

"The difference in their cultivation levels is so vast, what's the point of comparing them?"

Whispers rippled through the crowd, but most believed it was a one-sided affair, and no one favored Ye Wuxi…

Liu Yu'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Wu Xi, perhaps..."

Ye Wuxi gave him a reassuring smile.

Yang Kai's face turned green with anger. Without another word, his aura suddenly changed, and he unleashed the full power of a fourth-level Xuanwu cultivator.

"Golden crack breaks the mountain!"

With a sharp shout from Yang Kai, a golden sword light shot into the sky, its momentum like Mount Tai crashing down on Ye Wuxi.

Everyone gasped in astonishment. This sword technique was a mid-grade Xuanji sword technique from the Heavenly Sword Sect, its power terrifying. Yang Kai had only been here a short time, yet he had already mastered it.

Ye Wuxi remained expressionless, just about to try out his new sword technique, when suddenly a person appeared in front of him.

"Heavenly Flame Slash"

A crimson sword aura, seemingly capable of incinerating the heavens and earth, collided violently with the golden sword light, and instantly annihilated the golden sword aura.

Everyone was surprised again. This year's freshmen were truly remarkable; their casual attacks were far superior to those of some of the older disciples.

Yang Kai took a few steps back, his face ashen. "Who are you?"

Looking at the person blocking his way, Ye Wuxi smiled helplessly, "Brother Duan, thank you very much."

She appreciated their kindness, but she knew she could handle it herself. Perhaps her cultivation level was just too low, because no one seemed to believe her.

Duan Hong turned around and smiled gently, "I just came out of seclusion and was just about to look for you. How did you end up facing someone at the fourth level of the Xuanwu realm?"

Liu Yu'er stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Duan, those two are acting like they're crazy, insisting that Xi'er and I form an alliance with them or something. You've come at the perfect time..."

Ignoring his words, Yang Kai angrily said, "Fine, Ye Wuxi, no wonder you were so arrogant just now, so you've hooked up with a gigolo."

The three people who were talking frowned and looked over upon hearing this.

Duan Hong was speechless. What part of him looked like a pretty boy? Of course, in terms of skin tone, his face was indeed paler than Yang Kai's.

Ye Wuxi couldn't help but roll her eyes again. You can't just call someone a pretty boy because you're not good-looking yourself.

"Yang Kai, you're not as skilled as others, so what right do you have to criticize them?"

Yang Kai looked annoyed. "Didn't you say you were going to beat up both of us? What's with bringing in an accomplice now?"

Duan Hong frowned. This person was far too petty. "Wu Xi, leave this to me."

Ye Wuxi said calmly, "Brother Duan, you and Yu'er just watch from the side. I can handle this person."

Duan Hong was a little doubtful. Fighting across three levels was really no problem, but he felt that Wu Xi didn't seem like the kind who was just making empty promises. So he stepped aside and stood to the side with Liu Yu'er again.

Seeing this, a strange smile appeared on Yang Kai's face. "Since you insist on courting death, don't blame me."

Although that pretty boy only used one sword strike, he was clearly a tough opponent and not easy to deal with. Originally, he planned to back down gracefully, but who would have thought that Ye Wuxi, despite her good looks, was actually a fool.

"A rainbow piercing the sun!" Yang Kai roared.

A sword aura, even more ferocious than before, shot into the sky, stretching across the heavens like a rainbow.

Ye Wuxi's gaze remained unchanged, his aura steadily rising as he frantically channeled the true energy from his two dantian into the longsword in his hand.

"Phoenix feathers fluttering"

As Ye Wuxi coldly uttered those words, the void instantly filled with phoenix-like sword shadows. The magnificent sword energy seemed to converge at a single point, shooting forward like sharp, pointed feathers.

Then, with overwhelming force, it broke through the golden sword light and thrust straight towards Yang Kai.

Disbelief flashed across Yang Kai's face, and he quickly erected a shield in front of him.

A moment later, the shield suddenly shattered, and a trickle of blood escaped from Yang Kai's lips. "This, how is this possible?"

The onlookers gasped in astonishment. A first-level Xuanwu cultivator fighting a fourth-level Xuanwu cultivator, not only holding her own but actually suppressing her opponent—this woman was terrifying…

Ye Wuxi's lips curled into a cold smile. Without stopping, he swiftly approached Yang Kai using the Flowing Cloud Chasing Moon Step.

He activated his two dantian and unleashed a powerful Falling Flower Palm strike.

Yang Kai tried to use his inner energy to defend himself, but Ye Wuxi didn't give him the chance. A barrage of palm strikes rained down on Yang Kai's face. "You pretty boy...pretty boy, huh? I'll beat you into a pig's head today!"
