In an instant, the hundred-foot sword energy that Ye Wushuang had gathered stood in mid-air like the convergence of the sun and the moon, and it slashed down from the sky.
The sword energy of the sun and the moon struck precisely at the vital point of the hundred-foot python-like dragon sword energy. The dragon’s body immediately shattered.
But the energy of the giant sword did not dissipate.
The sword energy of the sun and the moon surged directly towards Qi Ying.
Qi Ying’s face turned pale, but he was not frightened out of his wits. A radiance surged on the surface of his body, and his entire being was suffused with concentrated power.
A suit of armor appeared on his body.
“A heavenly-grade armor!”
Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow.
These top geniuses from the Seven Great Sects were not only incredibly powerful but also possessed extraordinary spiritual weapons and armor.
This alone was something that the geniuses of the Qingyun Empire could never compare to!
**Boom…**
The giant sword struck in front of Qi Ying. A spiritual light emanated from within his body, forming a towering and robust figure three zhang tall to withstand the attack of the giant sword.
The roar of the impact echoed incessantly.
Qi Ying ultimately withstood Ye Wushuang’s sword strike.
However, before Qi Ying could feel relieved, another wave of killing intent arrived.
“Kill!”
Holding the sword in one hand and forming a palm with the other, Ye Wushuang gathered spiritual energy and condensed a spiritual membrane on his body. The Cui Shan Hand erupted at this moment.
He slapped towards Qi Ying’s body.
Qi Ying sneered coldly: “With a heavenly-grade armor, your attack is simply…”
Huh?
But in the next moment, Qi Ying’s expression changed abruptly, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
“How could this be…”
Qi Ying’s face turned pale, and his body was violently pushed backward.
Ye Wushuang’s attack had actually penetrated through the armor and struck directly at his heart meridian!
What kind of spiritual technique was this?
The Cui Shen Jue was a top-tier earthly-grade spiritual technique that Ye Wushuang had chosen, and it was a nearly self-mutilating cultivation method. Naturally, it was not like ordinary spiritual techniques.
Cui Shan Hand.
Duan Hai Finger.
Lie Ti Fist.
These three moves were not only fierce in spiritual energy, with high intensity compressed to the extreme and then unleashed, but they also possessed penetrating force, like striking a cow from across a mountain.
Qi Ying’s heavenly-grade armor was utterly meaningless!
The rumbling sound continued, and Qi Ying’s body collided with more than a dozen ancient trees before finally coming to a stop. His face was even more ghastly.
“Trouble!”
The other two eighth-rank Yuanfu Realm geniuses, seeing Qi Ying severely injured by Ye Wushuang, changed their expressions and rushed towards Qi Ying, intending to block Ye Wushuang’s advance.
But…
How could they possibly stop him!
“Get out of the way!”
With a shout, Ye Wushuang unleashed a sword strike. With his partially mastered sword intent, the two eighth-rank geniuses were no match.
*Pfft, pfft!*
The two figures that had rushed out became corpses in an instant.
Ye Wushuang directly raised his sword and stood in front of the sitting Qi Ying.
The sword tip pointed directly at Qi Ying’s throat.
“The Tianji Mansion, the Shengdan Sect… all want to kill me?”
“Do you think you are above everyone else?”
“Who is truly above everyone else?”
Qi Ying looked up at Ye Wushuang, and blood gushed from his mouth. With a cold and contemptuous gaze, he said, “Ye Wushuang… there are too many people who want to kill you. You will never make it out of the Youlong Mountains alive…”
*Pfft.*
The sword tip pierced through Qi Ying’s neck.
Blood sprayed out.
Ye Wushuang said coldly, “Whether I can make it out alive is unknown, but you definitely won’t…”
Blood quickly stained the ground red.
On the other side, Gu Ruochen held the Yintian Bow, continuously shooting at Su Jinyue.
But soon, Gu Wutian and Feng Ling arrived beside Gu Ruochen.
“Let’s go!”
Gu Wutian’s face changed dramatically as he said, “Qi Ying has been killed.”
Hearing this, Gu Ruochen’s expression changed.
Qi Ying, though not the strongest prodigy of the Tianji Mansion, was definitely not weaker than him.
Killed!
By that Ye Wushuang?
How could that be possible!
“Let’s go first!”
Feng Ling also said.
After witnessing Ye Wushuang’s formidable strength once again, she no longer had the slightest thought of killing Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang was definitely not someone they could kill.
Gu Ruochen was not foolish.
As a prince of the ancient Feng Empire, he had become a ninth-rank Yuanfu Realm cultivator and had come this far without being arrogant or overconfident.
He knew he couldn’t kill Ye Wushuang, who had killed Qi Ying.
“Su Jinyue, you’re just lucky.”
At this moment, Su Jinyue was already panting heavily.
Without another word, Gu Ruochen turned and left.
“Now you want to leave? It’s too late,” a cold snort sounded, and then, from the sky, a sword beam of the sun and the moon slashed directly towards the three of them.
**Boom…**
The earth shook violently, and a hundred-foot crack appeared in the ground.
Gu Ruochen and the others retreated in disarray.
Ye Wushuang had already arrived.
The four of them were less than ten zhang apart.
Gu Ruochen looked at the young man in front of him, who was younger and of a lower cultivation level than him, and felt a chill run through his heart.
This sword strike was definitely not the power of a Yuanfu Realm cultivator!
“Ruochen…”
Gu Wutian tightly held onto Gu Ruochen.
He was worried that Gu Ruochen would not be able to swallow this humiliation and would fight Ye Wushuang.
Having witnessed how Ye Wushuang had killed Qi Ying, Gu Wutian truly believed that Gu Ruochen might not be a match for Ye Wushuang.
They must not act impulsively now.
“Ye Wushuang, this prince will remember you,” Gu Ruochen did not lose his sanity but instead said with a light smile, “There are many people in this martial contest who can kill you.”
“We’ll see when we meet again.”
“You won’t be able to leave this time!” Ye Wushuang raised his sword, took a step forward, and the sword energy condensed.
“Humph!”
Gu Ruochen snorted coldly, clenched his palm, and then opened it. Between his five fingers were four blood-red thunderbolts.
“Be careful!”
At this moment, Su Jinyue suddenly shouted and rushed towards Ye Wushuang.
Gu Ruochen flicked his palm.
The four blood-red thunderbolts exploded instantly.
**Boom, boom, boom, boom…**
The earth-shattering roar echoed throughout the forest.
