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

Zhou Pei returned to the stands with a complicated expression, looking at the calm Jiang Xiaoyu and asking, "How did you figure out her strength...?"

Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's just a gut feeling! But Sister Zhou's skills are quite good too, so don't be so discouraged!"

"Don't try to comfort me, a loss is a loss!" Zhou Pei forced a smile, then turned her gaze back to the battle stage, but the previous contempt and disdain were gone from her eyes.

In the first row of the stands, a man dressed in black, his eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit, stepped onto the ring amidst a cacophony of voices.

After a brief silence, the surroundings resumed their discussion once the figure in black with the long sword stepped onto the battle platform.

"It's 'Overlord Blade' Wu Yiwei!"

"This doesn't seem like a martial arts arena battle today; it's more like a competition between different sects!"

"If Ye Wuxi can defeat the top outer disciple of the Lieyuan Sect, even if he can't achieve a hundred consecutive victories, he will still have reason to be proud..."

On the arena, the burly young man in black with a long sword clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Ye Wuxi.

"Wu Yiwei of the Lieyuan Sect, please enlighten me, young lady!"

"Ye Wuxi of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Ye Wuxi smiled and clasped his hands in return. Fighting with a polite young man was always a good thing, much better than encountering those scoundrels.

“Miss Ye’s swordsmanship is superb, and I admire it. I have been using a knife since I was a child, and I consider myself to be quite skilled in the art of the knife, known as the ‘Overlord of the Knife.’ Recently, I even created my own knife technique, which I have not yet demonstrated. Miss Ye will be the first person to see it.”

Ye Wuxi nodded, and then her longsword and Wu Yiwei's longsword appeared in her hands at the same time. In a battle between a swordsman and a saber-wielder, this was the minimum respect required.

"Miss Ye, please forgive me!"

Wu Yiwei let out a soft shout, his true energy surging throughout his body. The black longsword radiated a sharp, icy aura, and its dazzling blade light slashed down towards Ye Wuxi.

This strike was incredibly fast, its powerful aura seemingly capable of shattering a thousand armies. One strike transformed into ten thousand, with countless blade beams linked together, each carrying a terrifying force.

Even swordsmen have their limits, and Wu Yiwei has reached the pinnacle of the subtle realm. Within a single, seemingly simple strike, there are countless subtle variations.

Ye Wuxi flicked his wrist and unleashed a sword strike as well, this one even faster than the Overlord Blade!

The duel between the swordsman and the knife-wielder was more about their understanding of the knife and the sword; neither of them used any flashy sword techniques.

The Azure Rainbow Sword and the Black Longsword clashed repeatedly, producing a metallic clang. The swift blade against the swift sword, the two had already exchanged hundreds of blows in a short period of time.

Through hundreds of clashes, Ye Wuxi's thoughts became increasingly clear: he held a sword in his hand, and his heart was devoted solely to the sword!

Having gained a new understanding of swordsmanship, Ye Wuxi's eyes cleared, and he stopped his rapid sword strike. "Thank you!"

Wu Yiwei also stopped wielding his knife, and the two looked at each other.

"Miss Ye, I have four knives. Please instruct me!"

After this battle, it was clear that not only Ye Wuxi gained new insights, but Wu Yiwei's eyes were also burning with fighting spirit as he gripped his long sword tightly.

"please!"

"The sword energy continues to grow and never fades!"

As Wu Yiwei uttered a sound, an overwhelming wave of sword energy filled the void, pressing down on Ye Wuxi.

Ye Wuxi swung his longsword, and the overwhelming sword energy instantly annihilated the blade energy.

"With a mighty longsword, I slay the evil spirits!" Wu Yiwei said slowly, his expression unchanged.

Countless pale golden blade beams continued to sweep towards Ye Wuxi, their momentum rolling and carrying the righteous energy, yet they were still annihilated by the supreme yang sword energy brought out by the Azure Rainbow Sword.

"Brilliant as a white rainbow, pure as snow!"

Wu Yiwei continued to wield his longsword, his unparalleled sword aura carrying a chilling intent as he fearlessly slashed down.

Ye Wuxi's eyes narrowed slightly as he unleashed his own sword. This Wu Yiwei truly lived up to his title of 'Overlord Blade'; the power of his self-created sword technique was already approaching the upper rank of the Profound level.

As the sword light dissipated completely, Wu Yiwei remained calm and shouted sharply:

"A hundred-foot blade flashes skyward!"

With a screech, a towering blade aura shot into the sky, the terrifying blade light piercing the air with a buzzing sound, and the ground was covered with blade marks.

The audience in the stands remained completely silent as the two fought, finding it hard to believe that this was actually a martial arts arena match...

On the upper floor, three disciples of the Lieyuan Sect, Hua Xuan, Fang Yi, and Wang Yao, watched this scene with complicated expressions.

"He has actually grown to such a level!"

"As expected of the name 'Overlord Blade,' he has actually created such a powerful sword technique. After this battle, he should be able to enter the inner sect!"

"Given the talent he has shown, he should be given special attention and training by the sect in the future!"

On the stands, Liu Yu'er sighed softly, "They're all so strong. Brother Duan, you're right, the outside world is so vast. I used to think I had pretty good talent!"

“If this person grows up, he will be a formidable opponent!” Duan Hongshen agreed, nodding in agreement.

A martial artist's talent is important, but hard work and a resilient mindset are also crucial. If one relies solely on talent, it is easy to be overtaken by those who lack it.

Zhou Pei's expression turned solemn. "I'm not as good as Wu Yiwei!"

"Sister Zhou, don't be discouraged. His swordsmanship isn't particularly strong, but since it's self-created, he can be proud of it. At the same level, the swords and sabers of those two above have a natural restraining effect on us, but not everyone is like those two, cultivating to the extreme of Yang and strength..."

Jiang Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised by Zhou Pei's self-reflective attitude. After thinking for a moment, she offered a few words of comfort, saying that if Zhou Pei could be less arrogant than before, she would be a promising talent...

On the battle stage, Ye Wuxi channeled the power of his four dantians into the Azure Rainbow Sword, unleashing his final strike. The magnificent sword light, imbued with two different sword intents, soared straight into the sky.

The clash of blades and the shadows of swords kicked up a cloud of dust!

"If Wu Yiwei can still lose like this, then Ye Wuxi is just too incredible!"

"We'll know who wins and who loses soon!"

"Even if Wu Yiwei loses, these few stabs will be enough to make him remember this!"

After a while, the dust settled, revealing two figures.

Ye Wuxi stood there, her dress fluttering, while Wu Yiwei supported himself on the ground, his face somewhat pale.

“Miss Ye has already comprehended two kinds of sword intent. I am inferior to her. I have lost this battle!” Wu Yiwei stood up, leaning on his long sword.

Ye Wuxi shook his head and said seriously, "You are very strong. If you perfect these few strikes, I will be no match for you! Do these strikes have names?"

Compared to Wu Yiwei, she felt that she was not a true swordsman. She had not studied sword techniques in detail, and most of the time she relied on her strong internal energy, except for sword intent.

Wu Yiwei laughed loudly, "This sword technique is called 'Nameless'! Miss Ye, until we meet again, I look forward to our next battle."

Having said that, he stepped off the stage and left the fighting arena...

Watching the departing figure, Ye Wuxi felt a touch of admiration. The Nameless Blade Technique? The Nameless Overlord Blade... She was really looking forward to seeing this blade technique at its peak!
