Boom…

The earth-shattering roar erupted within the forest, sending tremors through the very ground. Gu Wentian, Feng Ling, and the other four geniuses at the eighth level of the Yuanfu Realm did not join the battle. Instead, they spread out to guard the four cardinal directions.

Gu Ruochen, seeing Su Jinyue charging at him with a black dagger, simply held his Bow of Heaven’s Will. With a flick of his wrist, he gathered spiritual energy into an arrow and fired it at Su Jinyue. The Bow of Heaven’s Will was a true heavenly-grade spiritual weapon, a renowned treasure within the Gu Feng Empire. When imbued with spiritual energy, it could form an arrow that could kill even a ninth-level Yuanfu Realm warrior with a single strike. Of course, that was in the hands of Gu Ruochen, who was already at the ninth level of the Yuanfu Realm. If wielded by a true Heavenly Gang Realm powerhouse, this bow could slay an opponent of the same level with a single arrow.

Though Su Jinyue was only at the seventh level of the Yuanfu Realm, she was far from ordinary. Gu Ruochen’s arrows flew swiftly, but she managed to dodge each one with remarkable agility.

On the other side, Qi Ying had already engaged Ye Wushuang in combat. Nine swirling vortices of energy encircled Qi Ying’s body, exuding an oppressive force that was truly daunting. With his fists clenched, he unleashed a series of powerful punches, each one capable of killing an eighth-level Yuanfu Realm warrior.

From a distance, Gu Wentian and Feng Ling cautiously watched, ready to prevent Ye Wushuang and Su Jinyue from escaping.

“Qi Ying is truly terrifying…” Feng Ling muttered, her heart pounding with fear. She felt a chill just watching his punches.

“This guy is one of the top contenders in the Tianji Mansion, second only to Ling Zhongxiao, Lou Ge, and Gu Qingyi…” Gu Wentian sighed. “The gap between our Ten Great Empires and the Seven Great Sects is just too vast…” Even Gu Ruochen, the strongest genius of their Gu Feng Empire, might not match up to Qi Ying. And yet, Qi Ying was not even the strongest genius in the Tianji Mansion. Comparing the two made it clear just how far apart the Empires and the Great Sects truly were.

Boom…

Suddenly, Ye Wushuang threw a punch, colliding head-on with Qi Ying. Both of their bodies were knocked backward. Ye Wushuang shook his numb hand. Qi Ying was indeed the most formidable Yuanfu Realm genius he had ever encountered. His spiritual energy was not only powerful and domineering but also his mastery of spiritual techniques was nothing short of miraculous. The prodigies of the Seven Great Sects truly lived up to their reputation.

But on the other side, Qi Ying’s anger was rising. A mere sixth-level Yuanfu Realm warrior was giving him, Qi Ying, such a hard time. It was an utter humiliation.

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

“Just some skills?” Ye Wushuang looked at Qi Ying and scoffed, “If I were at the ninth level of the Yuanfu Realm, I could kill you with a single punch!”

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

With those words, he clenched his hand, and a spiritual sword materialized in his grasp. The sword, like a dragon soaring through the clouds, emitted a faint roar of a python. A heavenly-grade spiritual weapon!

Generally, only those who reached the Heavenly Gang Realm could wield a heavenly-grade spiritual weapon. However, these prodigies from the various empires and the Seven Great Sects were so powerful that they had long transcended the limits of their own realms. It was not unusual for them to wield heavenly-grade spiritual weapons.

“Cloud Python Sword, a heavenly-grade spiritual sword. More than a dozen Heavenly Gang Realm warriors have already died by this sword. Ye Wushuang, dying by this sword is your honor!”

With a shout, Qi Ying merged with the sword, and in an instant, he launched an attack. The sword, like a python rising, exuded a terrifying aura.

Without hesitation, Ye Wushuang summoned the Tianya Sword and unleashed the Liu Yuan Gui Yi Sword Technique.

“Sword of the Empty Heavens.”

The sword energy surged forth, filled with a chilling killing intent. At that moment, the four eighth-level Yuanfu Realm onlookers were all stunned. The two combatants, each wielding a spiritual sword, exuded an air of mastery that was truly extraordinary. This was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Boom…

Sword against sword, the terrifying aura rippled outward. But soon, Qi Ying realized that he still could not get the upper hand over Ye Wushuang. This young man was only at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, yet his spiritual energy was just as strong as his own. Moreover, the way Ye Wushuang wielded his sword was completely different from before. It was as if he had become a different person!

This was impossible!

Qi Ying was both shocked and furious. A mere sixth-level Yuanfu Realm warrior was giving him such a strong sense of oppression!

“Die!”

Suddenly, Qi Ying erupted in power, and the Cloud Python Sword in his hand blazed with light.

“Python Soars Like a Dragon!”

With a slash of the sword, the sword energy gathered into a hundred-zhang-long python, which seemed to come alive, exuding a heart-chilling aura.

“It’s Sword Intent!”

Gu Wentian and Feng Ling were utterly astonished. Qi Ying was a swordsman who had grasped Sword Intent! He was only eighteen years old at most! This… he 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 out. A giant sword stood in the air and descended from the heavens.

“Sword Intent!”

Gu Wentian was stunned once again, rooted to the spot. Ye Wushuang was also a swordsman who had grasped Sword Intent!
