Lu Qingsong has been killed!
Qingshan has been killed!
The few disciples of the Giant Sword Sect who managed to escape have spread the news far and wide.
With the deaths of these two individuals, Ye Wushuang’s name has become a topic of conversation among everyone.
*”Where on earth did this Ye Wushuang come from?”* some people find it incredible.
*”Does anyone know where he’s from?”* others are curious about Ye Wushuang’s background.
*”From the Qingyun Empire? Come on, the Qingyun Empire is at best a medium-sized power among the hundred nations, and yet a dark horse has emerged from there?”*
Indeed, some have already labeled Ye Wushuang as the dark horse of this event!
A seventh-level Yuan Fu warrior who killed two prominent figures from the Giant Sword Sect—what else could this be but a dark horse?
Both Lu Qingsong and Qingshan were strong contenders for the top seven spots.
Most importantly, Lu Qingsong had already broken through to the first level of the Tian Gang realm, yet he was killed by Ye Wushuang, who was only at the seventh level of Yuan Fu!
*”He is a swordsman with fully cultivated sword intent!”*
*”He is only seventeen years old.”*
*”Nonsense, he is not even seventeen yet.”*
As more people received additional information, they were all left in shock.
A swordsman with fully cultivated sword intent, not even seventeen years old!
Even Li Wenbo from the Lingjian Mountain, who is hailed as the reincarnation of the Sword Saint, could not achieve this.
It is simply too incredible.
With the rise and fame of this dark horse, Ye Wushuang, many top talents from the various empires and the Seven Great Sects have chosen not to wait any longer but to break through to the Tian Gang realm.
Among them, there were already a number of individuals at the peak of the ninth level of Yuan Fu.
Had it not been for the Hundred Nations Martial Contest, they would have broken through long ago.
Now, with the emergence of a dark horse, they believe that breaking through to the Tian Gang realm is the prudent choice.
However, the Hundred Nations Martial Contest gathers tens of thousands of geniuses and prodigies from the hundred nations and Qingzhou, and Ye Wushuang is not the only dark horse.
Some claim to have seen the seventeenth prince of the Tianyan Dynasty, Tian Zhihen, break through to the Tian Gang realm and, under the assault of nine low-level third-stage spiritual beasts, carve out a bloody path.
This seventeenth prince is not the favored candidate of the Tianyan Dynasty this time.
On the contrary, the most renowned has always been the nineteenth prince, Tian Xu.
But only twenty days into the Hundred Nations Martial Contest, this seventeenth prince, Tian Zhihen, has also made his mark.
There are also reports of a ninth-level Yuan Fu prodigy from an unknown empire who personally hunted down a mid-level third-stage spiritual beast.
A mid-level third-stage spiritual beast is at least at the fourth level of Tian Gang.
To kill a fourth-level Tian Gang spiritual beast without reaching the Tian Gang realm!
This is yet another dark horse!
Endless news continues to spread, and one by one, those previously unassuming heavenly talents reveal their true abilities.
In Qingzhou, there are millions, if not tens of millions, of warriors.
What is never in short supply is genius.
There is no strongest, only stronger.
Ye Wushuang is not very aware of these rumors.
He has already followed the map and found the location of the so-called Li Yun ancient tomb.
Ahead, at the end of the forest, lies a range of continuous mountains.
These mountains, all only a hundred zhang tall, are barren and lifeless.
There are hundreds of such mountains, all very unique.
However, when Ye Wushuang appeared at the end of the forest and stood on an ancient tree, he saw that there were already quite a few people at this place, more than ten miles ahead.
Ye Wushuang looked at these people and raised an eyebrow.
These individuals, from various forces, either in groups of three or five, or in groups of ten or more, seemed to be… heading for the Li Yun ancient tomb as well.
Ye Wushuang glanced at the map in his hand and then at the group ahead, feeling somewhat speechless.
Could it be… fake?
Nevertheless, Ye Wushuang did not rush out. He slightly clenched his palm, and the Tian Ya Sword appeared in his hand.
*”Who’s there?”*
In the distance, someone was watching him.
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s voice, a figure leaped from the side and landed not far in front of Ye Wushuang after a few bounds.
*”Hehe, brother, going solo?”*
This was a young man, seemingly eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a light blue tight-fitting outfit. He appeared slightly slender, with a very sunny smile. His two rows of white teeth were particularly eye-catching.
His face was quite handsome, one could even say good-looking, but his completely bald head seemed quite incongruous!
Ye Wushuang took a few looks at this person.
This man seemed to be grinning and joking, but there was an implicit realm about him, like a sword, an unparalleled treasure sword, ready to burst out of its sheath at any moment.
*”I don’t know you, do I?”* Ye Wushuang said guardedly.
*”Hehe, I know you,”* the bald young man said with a smile, *”Ye Wushuang from the Qingyun Empire.”*
Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows furrowed.
*”Ahem, I don’t have any ill intentions. You’re alone, and so am I. We could cooperate!”*
*”Cooperate with you?”* Ye Wushuang said with a smile, *”I don’t even know who you are.”*
The man nonchalantly touched his bald head and said with a smile, *”I’m Xu Wen, not worth mentioning.”*
Ye Wushuang ignored him.
Xu Wen, however, looked ahead and said, *”Do you know who those people are?”*
Seeing that Ye Wushuang was not paying attention to him, Xu Wen continued on his own, *”Well, they’re all here for the Li Yun ancient tomb.”*
Ye Wushuang glanced at Xu Wen.
*”It’s your fault. Didn’t you kill Qi Ying? That news has spread too.”*
*”The ancient map on Qi Ying’s body wasn’t the only one. This time, Ling Zhongxiao, Lou Ge, and Gu Qingyi from the Tianji Pavilion all have copies of the map.”*
*”They were worried that you might get the map from Qi Ying and come here first, so… they all came.”*
*”But there’s no such thing as a secret in this world. Seeing the Tianji Pavilion disciples gather, other forces’ geniuses also got some news, so they all came…”*
Ye Wushuang was speechless.
Xu Wen pointed to a group of about ten people in the distance, all dressed similarly, and said, *”See those ten or so people over there? Know who they are?”*
