The attitudes of Du Ruyun and Gu Wentian towards Ye Wushuang had undergone a complete transformation from what they had been before.
Ye Wushuang, however, simply glanced at the group and remarked, “You all talk too much.” With those words, he vanished in a flash, launching himself directly into the fray.
The fact that this young man dared to charge at them so brazenly took the others by surprise. “Fist Condense!” one of them shouted, unleashing a ferocious punch. The force of the blow was terrifying, and as the howling wind of the punch surged forth, an eerie and intimidating aura erupted.
A young man at the Sixth Level of the Yuanfu Realm who was facing Ye Wushuang was struck squarely in the head by Ye’s punch, and his skull shattered with a sickening crunch. Blood and cerebral fluid sprayed out in a gruesome display.
Du Ruyun, looking at the young man beside him, warned, “Rufeng, be careful.”
“Sure,” came the reply.
On the other side, Gu Wentian also looked at the girl beside him and cautioned, “Fengling, be careful.”
It was evident that these four were the leaders of the group. They had now recognized the formidable strength of Ye Wushuang and were no longer taking him lightly.
“Step back!” Du Ruyun’s voice rang out, and more than a dozen figures quickly retreated to the side. Du Ruyun, along with Du Rufeng, Gu Wentian, and Fengling, surrounded Ye Wushuang. At that moment, eight Yuanfu energy spirals manifested around each of the four, generating an overwhelming pressure that bore down on Ye Wushuang.
“The Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest truly is a place where all sorts of formidable and bizarre talents exist,” Du Ruyun remarked, drawing a long sword and closely observing Ye Wushuang’s every move. “You are quite young and only at the Sixth Level of the Yuanfu Realm, yet you possess such strength!”
“It’s more than that…” In a blur of movement, Ye Wushuang swiftly launched a palm strike directly at Du Ruyun. He was not the least bit intimidated by the four individuals at the Eighth Level of the Yuanfu Realm.
“Palm Condense!” With a powerful slap, Ye Wushuang unleashed a burst of spiritual energy that coalesced into a single, explosive force.
Du Ruyun let out a cold snort and swept his sword in a wide arc. “Wind Slash!” The sword energy, as sharp as a blade, cut through the palm force.
Boom…
A deep, thunderous explosion echoed through the air.
“Hm?” Ye Wushuang looked at Du Ruyun and was taken aback for a moment. He had actually blocked it? Indeed, among the various empires, none of the geniuses who could participate in the Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest were simple opponents. In the Qingyun Empire, no one at the Eighth Level of the Yuanfu Realm could withstand his attack.
Meanwhile, Su Jinyue, leaning weakly against a bluish stone, spoke in a faint voice, “Du Ruyun’s swordsmanship is exceptional, with extremely fast attack speed. Du Rufeng is also skilled in swordsmanship, but his strength is more domineering, and…”
“Meddlesome woman!” Gu Wentian, seeing Su Jinyue revealing the attack characteristics of the others to Ye Wushuang, snorted coldly. “You, go kill her!”
Immediately, more than a dozen young men and youths at the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Levels of the Yuanfu Realm, wielding spiritual weapons, charged towards the severely injured Su Jinyue. Su Jinyue’s face turned pale with fear.
“Get out of here!” At that moment, a surging sword energy rushed over. With a series of sickening *puh-puh* sounds, three or four warriors who had been attacking Su Jinyue were slashed and torn apart by Ye Wushuang’s sword.
Ye Wushuang stood in front of Su Jinyue, his voice cold and indifferent. “As long as I’m here, you won’t be able to kill her.”
Seeing this, Du Ruyun, Gu Wentian, and the others gritted their teeth in frustration, realizing that they would never be able to kill Su Jinyue without first eliminating this young man.
“You’re asking for death; I’ll grant it to you,” Du Ruyun declared. He and Du Rufeng exchanged a glance, moved closer together, and raised their swords, charging in unison.
On the other side, Gu Wentian and Fengling also moved closer and prepared to attack.
Seeing this, Ye Wushuang was not the least bit intimidated. He grasped the Tianxia Sword, its light swirling around him incessantly. Since he had drawn his sword, things would no longer be so complicated.
“Ascend the Empty Void.”
With a single slash, streams of sword energy soared into the air, and then, in the blink of an eye, they struck down with the speed of lightning.
Du Ruyun and Du Rufeng, sensing the danger, immediately launched their counterattack. The swordsmanship they employed complemented each other perfectly, with their combined strength and speed multiplying their power.
Boom…
The sword energies collided violently. Du Ruyun and Du Rufeng felt the overwhelming force of the attack, and they were barely able to hold their ground.
But in the end, they managed to block the deadly strike.
Ye Wushuang was taken aback and couldn’t help but exclaim, “You actually blocked it.”
He clenched his palm slightly, gathering even more formidable energy.
“Let’s see how you handle this!”
“Open the Tai Chi.”
With a single sword thrust, the sword energy condensed into the shape of the Tai Chi diagram. Then, in an instant, it charged forward with incredible speed.
“Break!”
A deep, commanding shout rang out. The terrifying sword energy seemed capable of tearing apart any force as it reached Du Ruyun and Du Rufeng.
The brothers swung their swords again, combining their energies. Their combined sword energy was even more ferocious.
But at that moment…
*Puh-puh.*
Ye Wushuang’s concentrated sword energy pierced through their bodies and severed their necks, causing blood to gush out. The two bodies collapsed to the ground, and the blood quickly stained the earth red.
On the side, Gu Wentian and Fengling, who had been ready to attack at any moment, turned pale.
Dead!
Du Ruyun and Du Rufeng were dead!
“Retreat!”
In an instant, the two shouted the order.
However, Ye Wushuang would never let them retreat!
