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

Suddenly, a pale yellow armor quietly appeared on Zhong Xiang's body as he flew backward. Then, with a crack, the armor shattered and disappeared into nothingness.

"So you were wearing defensive armor after all that? Have you no shame?" Ye Wuxi rolled her eyes.

She knew it! How could Zhong Xiang withstand two of her sword strikes? He was wearing a low-grade armor! How afraid of death must he be? With all that equipment, she looked so clumsy and unarmed!

Zhong Xiang, who had just escaped with his life, blushed upon hearing this. "In a life-or-death battle, there's no rule against using defensive armor!"

Ye Wuxi clapped her hands and smiled slightly, "Well said, you're shameless enough to say whatever you want. Today I'll see how many shells you have to carry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wuxi stepped forward and flashed in front of Zhong Xiang, quickly unleashing several sword strikes.

"Beat a dog when it's down!"

"Punch, kick, dig, and fly!"

"Point at the exterminating tortoise!"

"..."

With each sword strike, Ye Wuxi didn't forget to launch a mental attack!

This attack was clearly more effective than a physical attack. After only a few words, Zhong Xiang couldn't help but shout to the sky.

"Aaaaaaah! I want you dead!"

Zhong Xiang's true energy surged. He believed that a man could be killed but not humiliated. Ye Wuxi had actually used ordinary sword moves to insult him!

"It seems there are no other tortoise shells left!"

Seeing that the stimulation had been enough, Ye Wuxi took a few steps back and sneered.

"Thunder-Slaying Pearl, kill!"

Zhong Xiang's face was grim. He sheathed his longsword, and a red and white bead appeared in his hand. He threw it at Ye Wuxi.

"Not good!" Elder Wei cursed inwardly from afar, quickly gathering his true essence, ready to save Ye Wuxi at any moment. This Zhong Xiang is really something, using external objects again and again, it's never going to end.

"Thunder-Extinguishing Pearl, Zhong Xiang is shameless!"

"This thing can kill even someone at the first level of the Earth Martial Realm, isn't that cheating...?"

"Pah! What inner disciple..."

The crowd erupted in curses, with inner disciples secretly turning their heads away. Zhong Xiang's victory was utterly dishonorable, and he had brought shame upon all the inner disciples as well...

"Holy crap, there's more!"

Feeling the power contained in the so-called Thunder-Slaying Pearl, Ye Wuxi cursed angrily, his figure flying backward, and a five-colored ball rose from each of his left and right palms, slapping towards the Thunder-Slaying Pearl.

boom!

The two five-colored orbs collided with the Thunder-Extinguishing Pearl in mid-air, kicking up a cloud of dust and smoke. Ye Wuxi and Zhong Xiang on the stage were both thrown away by the aftershocks.

The disciples watching also retreated rapidly, gasping in shock. Could both of them be dead...?

The Grand Elder, who was secretly gathering his qi in the void, breathed a sigh of relief. He could sense that Ye Wuxi was alright...

Sure enough, after the aftershocks of the explosion dissipated, two disheveled figures appeared.

At the very edge of the battle platform, Ye Wuxi coughed twice, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and stood up. Her beautiful eyes were as cold as frost. If it weren't for the Five Elements True Essence, she would have been finished today, and Zhong Xiang would definitely be dead.

On the other side, Zhong Xiang's white shirt was tattered, and his eyes were filled with fear. He had even used the Thunder-Slaying Pearl, how could Ye Wuxi possibly withstand it? What on earth was that five-colored sphere...?

"Riding the waves with laughter to help the Sichuan boat!"

Not wanting to give Zhong Xiang a chance to catch his breath, Ye Wuxi brandished the Shadow Sword, emptying both his Water and Fire dantian, and launched an attack on Zhong Xiang.

Zhong Xiang hurriedly circulated all his cultivation to erect a protective shield, but it was instantly annihilated. His body was blasted away again, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. His fate was unknown.

Ye Wuxi lightly touched the ground and instantly arrived in front of Zhong Xiang, raising her sword to slash at his neck.

"stop!"

A majestic voice rolled in from afar; even from a distance, one could feel the oppressive aura contained within it.

Ye Wuxi ignored him, and without pausing for a moment, slashed with his sword.

*Snap!* Zhong Xiang is dead!

"Be bold!"

In the blink of an eye, the owner of the voice landed on the edge of the life-and-death arena, looking at the dead Zhong Xiang with a face ashen.

"Can't you hear what I'm saying?"

Looking at the old man in the inner sect elder's robes, Ye Wuxi guessed his identity, but she wasn't afraid. "The loser dies, why should I stop!"

If she hesitates to kill Zhong Xiang because of her status as an inner sect elder, how can she ever hope to reach the pinnacle of cultivation? She might as well just cripple her own cultivation and die.

"Elder Feng, this is a life-or-death battle that Zhong Xiang himself agreed to..." Elder Wei flew over from a distance to smooth things over.

"It's none of your business, an outer sect elder, to tell me what to do."

"That's the rule of the sect. If Elder Feng is dissatisfied because a disciple died, he should go to the sect leader." Elder Wei's face also turned cold.

"Don't try to intimidate me with the sect leader's name. Ye Wuxi slaughtered his fellow disciples, he's arrogant and doesn't even respect me, an inner sect elder. He deserves to be punished!"

Ye Wuxi's face darkened. One shameless little dog had died, and now another shameless old dog had appeared. They truly were master and disciple.

"I do not accept!"

"You! Is this how Elder Wei manages the outer sect? Look at her attitude!"

Elder Wei stood in front of Ye Wuxi and said coldly, "Ye girl is right. She did nothing wrong. Isn't Elder Feng's reason for punishing her a bit far-fetched?"

“You lot are really going to cause trouble. Since you’re so protective of her, I’ll have no choice but to punish you as well.”

After saying that, Elder Feng's body surged with yellow energy, and his two large hands reached out to grab Elder Wei and Ye Wuxi.

"Ye girl, get out of the way!"

Hearing Elder Wei's reminder, Ye Wuxi's eyes narrowed, and he used the Flowing Cloud Chasing Moon Step to rush out in an instant...

Elder Wei gathered all his true energy and blasted it towards the giant palm, but was directly blown away.

"Overestimating yourself," Elder Feng sneered, flicking his sleeve. "Don't you even know your own cultivation level? How dare you defy me?"

Ye Wuxi's expression changed. Elder Wei was no match for her, and her master was not around. Was she just going to let this old dog slaughter her? Absolutely not.

With her mind racing, Ye Wuxi headed straight for Medicine Peak. Medicine Peak was protected by restrictions, and she didn't believe that old dog would dare to force his way in.

"Stop right there!" Elder Feng shouted as he saw her trying to run away, and conjured up a large palm to grab her.

Elder Wei roared, "Feng Kang'an, stop right now! You can't afford to hurt that girl!"

Elder Feng sneered, "Am I not allowed to punish an outer disciple?"

"That old dog!" Ye Wuxi turned around, her eyes filled with killing intent. Her fingers touched her spirit ring. Her sword god master was from Qingzhou, and the token he gave her would surely be enough to kill this old dog in the Heavenly Martial Realm...

"You're asking for it! You dare to lay a hand on my disciple!"

Before Ye Wuxi could take out the token, a familiar figure appeared from afar, instantly deflecting Feng Kang'an's large palm.

"Master, if you had arrived even a moment later, I would have lost my life..."

Looking at the red-haired old man in front of her, Ye Wuxi immediately cried out that she was aggrieved...
