**Boom…**

The earth-shattering roar erupted within the forest, shaking the very core of the mountains.

Gu Wutian, Feng Ling, and two other geniuses of the eighth rank of the Yuanfu Realm did not engage in combat. Instead, they dispersed to guard the four directions.

Gu Ruochen saw Su Jinyue charging at him with a black dagger. He simply held the Yintian Bow, plucked it effortlessly, and as the spiritual energy coalesced, it formed into an arrow that pierced through the air, hurtling straight towards Su Jinyue.

The Yintian Bow!

A true heavenly-grade spiritual artifact, it was a renowned treasure within the ancient Feng Empire.

With spiritual energy infused into it, the bow could gather energy into arrows. Even a ninth-rank Yuanfu Realm cultivator would be killed instantly if they dared to withstand a single arrow.

Of course, this was only in the hands of Gu Ruochen, who was at the ninth rank of the Yuanfu Realm.

If it were wielded by a true Tiangang Realm powerhouse, this bow could slay an opponent of the same rank with a single arrow.

Su Jinyue, though only at the seventh rank of the Yuanfu Realm, was no ordinary cultivator. Gu Ruochen’s arrows flew out one after another at incredible speed, yet she managed to dodge them all.

On the other side, Qi Ying had already engaged Ye Wushuang in battle.

Around Qi Ying’s body, nine swirling vortexes gathered, exuding an oppressive force that made everyone’s heart tremble.

With his fists clenched, he unleashed a boxing technique, each punch powerful enough to kill an eighth-rank Yuanfu Realm cultivator.

In the distance, Gu Wutian and Feng Ling were cautiously guarding against the possibility of Ye Wushuang and Su Jinyue escaping.

“This Qi Ying is truly terrifying…” Feng Ling couldn’t help but murmur, her voice trembling.

Just watching his punches made her heart race with fear.

“This guy is one of the top contenders in the Tianji Mansion, second only to Ling Zhongxiao, Lou Ge, and Gu Qingyi…” Gu Wutian sighed, his voice filled with a sense of inadequacy. “The Seven Great Sects… the gap between our Ten Great Empires and the Seven Great Sects is just too vast…”

Both were at the ninth rank of the Yuanfu Realm, yet Gu Ruochen, the strongest genius of their ancient Feng Empire, might still not be a match for Qi Ying.

And yet, Qi Ying was not even the strongest genius in the Tianji Mansion.

The comparison alone highlighted the vast disparity between the so-called empires and the Seven Great Sects.

**Boom…**

In an instant, Ye Wushuang swung his fist, colliding head-on with Qi Ying.

Both of their bodies were sent flying backward.

Ye Wushuang shook his numb palm.

Qi Ying was indeed the most terrifying Yuanfu Realm genius he had ever encountered.

Not only was his spiritual energy powerful and domineering, but his mastery of spiritual techniques was nothing short of divine.

A prodigy of the Seven Great Sects.

Truly deserving of the name!

However, on the other side, Qi Ying’s heart was filled with rage.

A mere sixth-rank Yuanfu Realm cultivator had forced him, Qi Ying, to exert so much effort.

This was an unbearable humiliation.

“No wonder you’re so arrogant. You do have some skills,” Qi Ying sneered coldly.

“Is that all?” Ye Wushuang looked at Qi Ying and laughed derisively. “A ninth-rank Yuanfu Realm cultivator, struggling against a mere sixth-rank like me. If I were at the ninth rank, I could kill you with a single punch!”

“You’re quite confident,” Qi Ying replied with a cold smile. “It seems I’ve underestimated you… In that case… let’s get serious!”

With those words, he clenched his palm, and a spiritual sword materialized in his hand.

The sword, like a dragon in flight, emitted a faint roar of a python.

A heavenly-grade spiritual weapon!

Generally, only cultivators at the Tiangang Realm could wield heavenly-grade spiritual weapons.

However, these prodigies from the various empires and the Seven Great Sects were extraordinarily powerful, transcending the limits of their own realms. It was not surprising that they all wielded heavenly-grade spiritual weapons.

“The Yunjiao Sword, a heavenly-grade spiritual sword. Over a dozen Tiangang Realm cultivators have already perished by this sword. Ye Wushuang, dying by this sword is your honor!” Qi Ying shouted, merging with the sword in an instant. As he charged forward, a deadly strike was unleashed.

The sword, like a python rising, exuded an overwhelming pressure.

Without hesitation, Ye Wushuang summoned the Tianya Sword.

He unleashed the Liu Yuan Gui Yi Sword Technique.

“Conquer the Void.”

The sword energy surged forth, exuding a chilling aura of death.

At this moment, the four eighth-rank Yuanfu Realm geniuses watching were all horrified.

The two of them simultaneously summoned their spiritual swords, giving off an unparalleled aura of mastery in swordsmanship.

This was not something that could be achieved overnight.

**Boom…**

Sword against sword, a terrifying aura of malice radiated outwards.

But soon, Qi Ying realized that he still couldn’t get the upper hand against Ye Wushuang.

This young man was only at the sixth rank of the Yuanfu Realm, yet his spiritual energy was just as strong as his own.

Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that Ye Wushuang’s sword technique had changed completely from before.

It was as if he had become a completely different person!

This was impossible!

Qi Ying was both shocked and furious.

A mere sixth-rank Yuanfu Realm cultivator was actually able to give him such a strong sense of pressure!

“Die!”

Suddenly, Qi Ying erupted with power, his Yunjiao Sword glowing brightly.

“Jiao Out Like Dragon!”

With a single strike, the sword energy gathered before the blade, forming into a hundred-foot-long python-like dragon. The dragon seemed to come alive, exuding an overwhelming and heart-chilling aura of malice.

“It’s sword intent!”

Gu Wutian and Feng Ling were utterly astonished at the sight.

Qi Ying was a swordsman who had grasped the essence of sword intent!

He was only eighteen years old at most!

This… was truly a prodigy.

But at that very moment…

Ye Wushuang, holding the Tianya Sword, became one with his sword.

“Subdue the Sun and Moon!”

With a shout, the sword energy howled outwards.

A giant sword stood in mid-air, descending from the heavens.

“Sword intent!”

Gu Wutian was stunned once again, rooted to the spot.

Ye Wushuang was also a swordsman who had grasped the essence of sword intent!
