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

After saying those three words, Zhang Haonan stopped talking and stomped his foot, channeling strange true energy into the black giant sword.

"Lingxu Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique, Golden Dragon Pierces the Sun!"

With a soft shout from Zhang Haonan, the void was immediately filled with overwhelming sword energy. The sword aura was fierce, and with a single slash, the sword light roared out like a golden dragon, rushing towards Ye Wuxi with indestructible power and unstoppable momentum.

"That's a low-grade Earth-rank sword technique..."

"Zhang Haonan actually succeeded in using it..."

"It's over, how is Ye Wuxi going to block this..."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. The top disciple of the outer sect also has privileges. He can choose a low-grade Earth-rank martial skill. Zhang Haonan would naturally not let go of this opportunity, but Earth-rank sword techniques are not easy to use.

Zhang Haonan was only able to barely execute the first move of this sword technique after using the Demon-Transforming Pill.

Liu Yu'er clenched her fists, her face showing some worry. The only calm person in the entire room was Duan Hong, who watched the scene with a smile throughout.

Meanwhile, in the void not far away, there was an old man with red hair who had been watching the battle, but no one around the arena noticed him, including the elders in the arena.

The red-haired old man frowned and muttered, "You little rascal, don't mess this up..."

"Hey old man, didn't you say you didn't care about your junior sister's life or death, or whether she won or lost? Why are you sneaking around watching?"

Huo Yun, who was not wearing the sect's uniform but instead sporting a striking red robe, suddenly appeared behind Old Man Chi Huo, arms crossed, and pursed his lips.

"What are you doing here, you brat..." Old Man Chi Huo said irritably.

"I've come to see some people who are all talk and no action..." Huo Yun sneered.

The old man with the Crimson Flame snorted coldly, "I had no intention of interfering in these juniors' battles. In a normal competition, if your junior sister loses, she deserves it. But that Zhang bastard is actually using pills. I can't stand by and watch..."

Huo Yun stroked his chin. "This guy's character is indeed terrible, far inferior to mine. But the power of this sword strike shouldn't be underestimated. If you're slow, old man, your junior sister's life will be in danger..."

He naturally knew that Ye Wuxi and Duan Hong had broken his record, but he didn't care and didn't take it to heart. He didn't know why Zhang Haonan cared so much about it.

"Get lost! Do you need to remind me what my cultivation level is?" the old man with the crimson fire glared at him.

Watching him unleash a sword strike that resembled a giant dragon, Ye Wuxi narrowed his eyes slightly, not daring to be careless. After pondering for a moment, he decided not to use those two mouthfuls of Five Elements True Essence for the time being.

Since special pills can change the color of true qi, her five-colored true qi can also be explained by some special techniques and martial arts, right? As for the five elements true essence, which can fight back against the Earth Martial Realm, using it here would be a waste of its talent, so it's better not to expose it easily.

In an instant, Ye Wuxi made a decision, directly activating the power of his five dantians, and frantically pouring the massive five-colored true energy into the Zhaoying Sword.

"The phoenix cries hidden in the clouds!"

Ye Wuxi stepped on the Flowing Clouds Chasing the Moon Step, his figure disappeared from the spot, and then suddenly swung out a sword.

The terrifying sword aura made the air buzz, and the crimson sword light, like a phoenix in flames, rushed towards the golden dragon with the force of a whirlwind.

As Ye Wuxi unleashed a sword strike imbued with destructive power, everyone gasped in shock.

"Back off!" Su Lingyi, who was in front, shouted softly, her eyes flashing with fear.

Everyone was shocked and quickly retreated. The power of this attack was beyond what they, as outer disciples, could withstand; it was probably stronger than that of most ordinary inner disciples.

"And what about that true energy...?"

"Yes, how did it turn into five colors, and become so powerful? It doesn't look like a Xuanwu Triple Level at all..."

"Is it some kind of secret technique?"

Only after they were far enough away from the life-or-death arena did the crowd have time to wonder about Ye Wuxi's suddenly changed true energy.

The only one who wasn't surprised was Duan Hong. However, even though he was prepared, a complex look still appeared in his eyes after seeing this sword strike. He didn't think it was some kind of secret technique; perhaps Wu Xi, like him, had some special physique...

In the void not far away, the old man with the crimson flames narrowed his eyes, "This girl is..."

Huo Yun rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then turned his head and asked, "Old man, what did you see?"

What surprised him even more than the powerful sword technique containing two layers of sword intent was Ye Wuxi's sudden surge of true qi. That five-colored true qi was even purer and more powerful than his own fire spirit body's true qi. What kind of technique or secret method could achieve this?

The old man withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "How would I know? You can see for yourself..."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot. With this sword drawn, the girl would not be in any danger at all; the danger was for others, so he didn't need to worry about her.

On the life-or-death stage, to the incredulous gazes of the crowd, the sword light, like a phoenix in the fire, cleaved the golden dragon in an instant, and then, with a destructive sword aura, slashed down towards Zhang Haonan.

With a "pfft," Zhang Haonan was blasted off the life-or-death arena in an instant, spitting out a mouthful of blood before passing out.

The Demon Transformation Pill he had taken was already a strain on him, and he was powerless to resist this powerful sword strike.

Ye Wuxi appeared, her steps unsteady. She had exhausted the power of five dantians to fully unleash this move in conjunction with the Shadow Reflection Sword. Fortunately, the effect was quite good.

Duan Hong and Liu Yu'er, who were some distance away, quickly flew onto the stage. Liu Yu'er helped Ye Wuxi up and asked worriedly, "Wuxi, how are you? Are you alright...?"

Ye Wuxi gave the two of them a reassuring smile and said to Yang Dong, "Elder Yang, I won this battle, right? As for the spirit stones..."

Yang Dong quickly replied, "Of course!" and then waved his hand, handing over the three thousand spirit stones that Zhang Haonan had placed with him beforehand to Ye Wuxi.

With the spirit stones in hand, Ye Wuxi took out a Rejuvenation Pill and popped it into his mouth.

The area around the arena was quiet, perhaps because the final blow was too shocking. For a moment, no one knew what to say, and no one cared whether Zhang Haonan on the ground was dead or alive.

Having recovered a sliver of true energy, Ye Wuxi, arm in arm with Liu Yu'er, stepped off the life-and-death arena. Duan Hong followed behind them, arriving in front of Su Lingyi and Huang Ruxin.

"Senior Sister Su, Senior Sister Huang, about the bet..." Ye Wuxi took out the receipt and said with a smile.

Looking at Ye Wuxi, whose face was pale but who was only concerned about spirit stones, Su Lingyi felt a little helpless. She smiled and said, "Of course, junior sister will not be short of anything." Then she accepted the voucher and handed over seven thousand spirit stones to Ye Wuxi with a wave of her hand.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister..." Ye Wuxi had earned nine thousand spirit stones in no time, and her face beamed with joy.
