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

With the Cold Moon Sword appearing in his hand, Ye Wuxi murmured, "I'd like to see just how strong your defense really is."

With no one around, Ye Wuxi no longer held back, frantically channeling his five dantian qi into his longsword and unleashing a single strike.

The sword light was sharp and fierce, but the mad lion was clearly very confident in itself. It leaped up, one claw deflecting the longsword, while the other claw viciously clawed at Ye Wuxi's head.

With a loud "bang," the Frost Moon Sword struck the Earth Lion's claws, first producing a clanging sound, and then the Frost Moon Sword severed one of the lion's claws.

The Earth Lion roared, clearly not expecting its formidable defenses to be breached.

Ye Wuxi flashed forward, then swung his sword again, an even more dangerous sword aura flashing past the Earth Lion.

Boom! Blood splattered as the Earth Lion's heavy body was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

Looking at the raging lion lying on the ground, Ye Wuxi wasn't very satisfied. "I need to find some time to get a new spirit sword..."

She unleashed power from all five of her dantian, which should have been enough to kill him with a single strike, yet she had to use two. Ultimately, it was because her low-grade Xuanji Cold Moon Sword was too weak; it couldn't unleash the true power of its techniques.

After retrieving the demon core and letting the sapling absorb the demon beast's essence, Ye Wuxi continued to slay demon beasts.

About an hour later, the jade pendant at his waist suddenly began to flash.

Ye Wuxi frowned. Had she finally encountered the other disciples?

With a few "whoosh" sounds, several figures dressed in white and wielding long swords appeared before Ye Wuxi.

"Ye Wuxi, it turns out you are..."

A playful smile appeared on Ye Wuxi's face. "Oh, it's you guys. Then I'm relieved."

The four men and one woman before him were Yang Kai and Wu Wan. Of course, Ye Wuxi didn't recognize the other three, but that didn't matter. Two were at the fourth level of the Xuanwu realm, and three were at the third level. Hmm, they could fight. But if they encountered the three from the Dragon Yuan Empire, things would be different.

Yang Kai sneered, "Ye Wuxi, you're not still thinking of dealing with the five of us, are you? That's wishful thinking. You've got a path to heaven, but you won't take it. Well, you'll stay here today."

Ye Wuxi crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm telling you, next time before you make those threats, can you at least consider your own capabilities? Have you already forgotten the beating you got yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai's face turned a deep shade of liver with rage. Being publicly beaten by a woman yesterday was humiliating; he'd even used a Rejuvenation Pill just to recover enough to participate in the trial.

The people around Yang Kai hesitated. They had all heard about what happened yesterday. Could they really win over Ye Wuxi?

"Don't be so arrogant! If it weren't for that pretty boy helping you yesterday, do you really think you could have defeated me? Everyone, she's only at the first level of the Xuanwu realm, and she's alone. If the five of us work together to kill her, we can divide the demon cores on her body equally," Yang Kai quickly said upon seeing this.

Upon hearing this, the group stirred again, and Wu Wan quickly added, "Senior Brother Yang is right. Ye Wuxi must have many good things on him. We'll divide them up equally later."

Seeing that the group was already discussing how to divide her belongings, Ye Wuxi found it somewhat amusing. "Yang Kai, Wu Wan, these people aren't the allies you were talking about, are they...?"

Wu Wan sneered, "What, are you starting to regret not joining us now? Too bad, it's too late."

Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow. "No, what I meant was, you call this rabble an alliance?"

Another man at the fourth level of the Xuanwu realm said sternly, "Ye Wuxi, you are far too arrogant. Since that's how you are, don't blame us for disregarding fraternal bonds."

Ye Wuxi nodded and slowly asked, "Are you five sure you want to kill me?"

Killing demonic beasts is one thing, but since coming to this world, she has never killed a human. She doesn't want to be a bloodthirsty person. However, if these people are determined to kill her, she naturally won't show any mercy.

Yang Kai revealed a cruel smile, "Now you know fear, but killing you would be too easy for you. Everyone, this Ye Wuxi is a rare beauty..."

The man beside him licked his lips and said, "Brother Yang is right. Why don't we brothers have a good taste today..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuxi abandoned his last shred of mercy, his eyes turning icy, and the Cold Moon Sword appeared in his hand.

"Very well, today I will use the blood of you scum to pave the way for slaughter!"

Without holding back any of the true energy from his five dantian, Ye Wuxi leaped up, his entire body enveloped in five-colored true energy.

"What...why is her internal energy so strong?"

A man at the third level of the Xuanwu realm suddenly widened his eyes. How could it be five-colored true energy? Could it be caused by cultivating some special technique?

The aura emanating from Ye Wuxi was chilling; Yang Kai felt that she was several times stronger than during their battle yesterday, and he couldn't care less about anything else at the moment.

"Quickly, let's kill this witch together!"

Those individuals all sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Ye Wuxi, and without further hesitation, five sword beams of different auras soared into the sky, slashing simultaneously towards Ye Wuxi.

Ye Wuxi remained unfazed and coldly shouted, "Soaring Through the Nine Heavens!"

Like a phoenix spreading its wings, the sword energy, enhanced by five-colored true energy, sliced ​​through the void and slashed fiercely towards the five people.

This is a wide-range attack sword move from the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Sword technique, perfectly suited for dealing with these five people.

Boom! Several sword energies collided in the void, creating a loud explosion that startled the forest, causing it to rustle.

The three Xuanwu level three individuals were instantly killed by the attack. Yang Kai and another Xuanwu level four man withstood the blow together and survived, but both coughed up blood, their eyes filled with fear.

A witch! Ye Wuxi must be a witch!

"Escape!" The two of them swiftly crushed the jade pendants at their waists and flew away without hesitation. The ten-breath reaction of the pendants was a ruse; they couldn't just sit here and wait to die.

Ye Wuxi's eyes were icy cold. "Can you escape?"

Stepping on the Flowing Clouds and Chasing the Moon, Ye Wuxi swiftly chased after the two.

Five breaths...

Four breaths...

Three breaths...

Two breaths...

Just when the two thought they had escaped,

"Phoenix feathers fluttered," a demonic voice rang out.

Then two even more powerful sword energies shot straight towards their heads.

Blood splattered as their heads were severed from each other, and they fell straight down, their faces still showing disbelief and terror.

Ye Wuxi landed in front of the two, kicked them twice in disgust, and then took their storage rings.

In total, there are two hundred demon cores, four Rejuvenation Pills, two hundred mid-grade spirit stones, several low-grade Profound Realm martial arts manuals, and two maps.

Ye Wuxi was overjoyed. Two hundred mid-grade spirit stones were equivalent to twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones. She had made a fortune this time. In addition, the Rejuvenating Pill could quickly help those in the Profound Martial Realm to recover their true energy.

Ye Wuxi then opened the two maps again. "They're actually maps of the Falling Sun Manual. No wonder they reunited so quickly."

It's not surprising that the map has been passed down from generation to generation, as each new batch of disciples basically comes here for trials.

As for the martial arts techniques, Ye Wuxi glanced at them casually and put them away. None of them were from the Heavenly Sword Sect; he could take them back to the Ye family later.

Ye Wuxi stroked his chin, "Compared to this, Brother Duan, Yu'er, and I are really at a disadvantage; we weren't prepared at all."
