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

The Ice-Fire Twin-Headed Flood Dragon let out a miserable cry, blood splattering everywhere. After spitting out a piece of frost-covered stone the size of two fists and a piece of crimson fire stone, its massive body crashed down.

"They are Ice Soul Frost Stone and Crimson Flame Essence Stone."

Ye Wuxi's eyes lit up. Strictly speaking, this Crimson Flame Essence Stone was better than the Crimson Star Meteorite Iron.

"good chance."

Pang Tianchen and Lin Junrong were also delighted. They quickly waved to the Martial King beside them. They couldn't do anything about the dragon for the time being, and Ye Wuxi would take advantage of the situation, so of course they would too.

A group of Martial Kings rushed toward the two top-grade materials, but the five Supreme Realm Elders moved in an instant and stopped them.

The group of powerful figures were entangled together. Ye Wuxi and Xia Qingzhu flashed their feet, and the Vermilion Bird and the Ice Phoenix cried out, unleashing their ultimate fire and ice attributes, which swept towards the two large rocks respectively.

boom!

Pang Tianchen and Lin Junrong, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for their doom. Their bodies radiated the power of the sun and the intent of their swords, and they each reached out to grab the two stones.

"Get out of my way!" Ye Wuxi's six-colored Yuan Power surged, and terrifying sword intent and bloodline pressure spread out, blasting Pang Tianchen back. He then put the Crimson Flame Essence Stone into his storage ring.

Xia Qingzhu also unleashed her sword intent, and the Ice Phoenix let out a long cry, causing Lin Junrong to pause for a moment before quickly putting away the Ice Soul Cold Stone.

Swish!

At this moment, a figure flew swiftly from afar. The two powerful figures stationed nearby rushed over after hearing the notification.

"Let's go!" Ye Wuxi shouted, leading Xia Qingzhu out first.

The five supreme martial kings did not linger in the fight. They waved away the crowd, flashed their feet, and followed behind the two.

"Leave a few to capture the two-headed dragon, the rest of you follow me." Pang Tianchen waved his hand and led his group to quickly chase after Ye Wuxi.

Crimson Flame Essence Stones are excellent materials for forging royal artifacts, as are Fire Crystals; he can use both of them, and he absolutely cannot easily give them to Ye Wuxi.

Lin Junrong also called out to the experts from the Sword Sect and followed closely behind.

The sky was already turning white.

Those from various factions stranded in Misty Rain City discovered that their stationed experts were missing, and immediately rushed towards Qiwu Mountain in a large-scale rush.

As they approached Qiwu Mountain, they stopped again upon seeing the three groups of people rushing out from the mountain.

"Leave everything behind." Pang Tianchen shouted sharply, took a few steps forward, and a terrifying sun pattern pressed down on Ye Wuxi.

"You've already forgotten your lesson, haven't you?" Ye Wuxi turned around and said coldly, his sword energy bursting wildly, piercing through the sun pattern.

"I'd like to see if you truly deserve the title of 'Number One Swordsman'."

On the other side, Lin Junrong also flashed forward and swiftly slashed at Xia Qingzhu with his sword. The sword light flashed and was extremely fast.

"Destroy." Xia Qingzhu uttered softly, took a step forward, and a terrifying, icy blade aura surged forth, instantly shattering the blade light.

"Why are they fighting? Ye Wuxi and Xia Qingzhu have been in the city these past few days..."

"It seems that the Crimson Sky Saint Son is no match for the Azure Wood Saintess. I heard that he was also defeated by other divine bodies and imperial lineages at the tea party."

"Get out of my way!"

Hearing the whispers around him, Pang Tianchen's face turned ashen, and his voice was somewhat exasperated, clearly indicating that he had been reminded of something painful.

"Pang Tianchen, if you have a temper, then fight me to the death. If you don't dare, then get lost. You brought so many people to surround and kill me. Have you forgotten the teachings my senior sister and the others gave you when they went to the Crimson Sky Holy Land?"

In front of everyone, Ye Wuxi simply stopped with the five elders, a mark appeared in his hand, and he coldly spoke as he swept it over the people from the Crimson Sky Holy Land.

Although she didn't know how Pang Tianchen had raised his cultivation to the fifth level of Martial King so quickly, it was probably because of this that he had the courage to provoke her again.

But she could tell that his profound understanding of the art was far from being up to par, and even if he had, she was absolutely confident that she could defeat him.

The elders of the Holy Land froze, as if the scene of being slaughtered on the Holy Land was right before their eyes.

Pang Tianchen's face alternated between pale and flushed, but he was somewhat tempted. With his current cultivation level, he still had a great chance of winning in a real fight. If he could kill her, he could restore his prestige.

"And you, either fight to the death, or get lost." Ye Wuxi looked at Lin Junrong, who was jumping up and down, and said coldly.

"Holy Maiden, you jest. I merely wish to learn from Fellow Daoist Xia, the 'Number One Swordsman,'" Lin Junrong said with a smile, but his words about the "Number One Swordsman" were filled with disdain.

Ye Wuxi seemed to have defeated Shi Dongwen with little effort. His cultivation was at the peak of the sixth level of Martial King, not far stronger than Shi Dongwen's. He must have been bored to engage in a life-or-death battle with her.

"Is that so? I only accept life-or-death battles. Do you dare?" At this moment, Xia Qingzhu looked at Lin Junrong and said in a cold voice.

Lin Junrong was taken aback. He glanced at her, somewhat surprised and uncertain. According to the information from the tea party, Xia Qingzhu had defeated Sikong Zhuo. Fighting two levels above her was probably the limit, so it was unlikely that she could defeat him. But why was she so confident?

More and more people are flocking to Qiwu Mountain. The crowd is dense, yet there is complete silence. Judging from this scene, the treasure of Qiwu Mountain is probably gone. It would be more interesting to see whether these people will fight to the death.

"The Crimson Sky Saint and the Northern Snow Quick Blade seem to be afraid to accept the challenge."

"If you answer, there's a 50% chance you'll lose your life; if you don't answer, you'll only lose face."

"The Crimson Sky Saint Son has suffered defeat after defeat; how can he still have the face to speak of..."

Seeing that Pang Tianchen and Lin Junrong remained silent, the crowd whispered among themselves. The fact that the two sects had jointly prohibited people from leaving the city had already drawn discontent, and now they didn't mind kicking them while they were down.

"Ten days from now, at Qiwu Mountain, we will have a life-or-death battle." Pang Tianchen could no longer hold back, and his voice boomed out.

"Holy Son...this..." The elders of the Crimson Sky Holy Land were also taken aback.

"Okay, I agree." Ye Wuxi was a little surprised, not expecting him to actually have the courage.

"Ten days from now at Qiwu Mountain, do you dare to accept the life-or-death battle?" Xia Qingzhu looked at Lin Junrong and said calmly.

Ye Wuxi glanced at her and had no doubt. Xia Qingzhu was not a blind person. Her willingness to take on a life-or-death battle meant she was extremely confident, not to mention she had an ice crystal in hand, which would take ten days to refine.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Lin Junrong thought for a moment, then flicked his sleeve and didn't refuse.

"Very good, everyone has heard it. The Crimson Sky Saint and the Northern Snow Quicksword have volunteered to fight us to the death. Their fates are in the hands of heaven. Let's meet again in ten days," Ye Wuxi said loudly.

"Let's go!" Pang Tianchen said coldly, leading his group away.

Ye Wuxi, along with a few others, went straight back to Misty Rain City.

Inside the inn, the five elders stood guard outside two rooms. Xia Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Wu Xi, I'll accept the ice crystal, but you can take this Ice Soul Frost Stone."

Ye Wuxi was perfectly capable of taking all these things by herself, so having her go along to snatch them was simply taking care of her.

"I don't need ice-attribute materials, so you can keep them. They're perfect for forging a royal-grade sword." Ye Wuxi smiled. "Ten days isn't a long time; we should hurry up and improve our cultivation."

"Alright, I won't lose." Xia Qingzhu thought for a moment and stopped refusing.

After she left, Ye Wuxi sat cross-legged in the room and took out the fire crystal. Pang Tianchen dared to accept the challenge, which was really unlike his style. She could smell a bit of conspiracy in it.
