Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

A cold glint flashed in Second Young Master Di’s eyes; he wished he could kill Ye Wushuang by a thousand cuts, tearing the flesh from his very bones!

Outside the Battle Platform, the contingent from the Seven Kills Family wore dark expressions. Ye Wushuang had killed First Young Master Di.

This meant that from now on, Second Young Master Di would have to face everything alone.

Second Young Master Di was far weaker than his brother. If he continued to compete, his chances of reaching the top ten were slim to none.

Their bold declaration—that no one in the Endless Wilderness was their match, that they would seize the title of Strongest Warrior and humiliate every other power—was about to become a complete joke!

”Ye Wushuang, the Seven Kills Family will not rest until you are dead!”

The members of the Di Family roared in fury, their voices laced with bottomless hatred!

The leader of their group, the Di Family Head, erupted with terrifying power and viciously struck the Battle Platform, seemingly intending to kill Ye Wushuang on the spot.

However, the Battle Platform was covered by a barrier of light. This barrier was like the wall of a world, its Defense Power terrifyingly high. When the immense energy struck it, it didn’t even cause a ripple.

Only powerful gales of energy raged across its surface before dissipating into nothing.

Seeing this, the members of the Ancient Spirit Sect were instantly enraged.

The Di Family Head’s actions were utterly shameless. If not for the protection of the Barbarian God Battle Platform, that powerful attack would have struck Ye Wushuang.

On the Battle Platform, Dii Qingxue, Feng Jue, and the others frowned, staring down at the Di Family Head!

Abruptly, the giant elder on the Barbarian God Battle Platform turned his head. With a single wave of his hand, a vast wave of energy shot out from the platform.

Everyone’s expression changed, their faces filled with terror.

BOOM!

Before the Di Family Head could even react, the energy slammed into him. The Patriarch let out a muffled grunt as a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth. His face flushed red, his expression one of pure terror.

When he looked up, he saw the giant elder’s deep eyes staring at him, their cold, sharp gaze piercing straight into his soul and making his heart tremble violently.

”Violating the Rules of the Battle Platform is an unforgivable offense. This time, I will teach you a lesson!”

The giant elder stated coldly, then announced, ”Very well. In this challenge, Ye Wushuang is the victor!”

Upon hearing this, Yang Dingtian, who was below the platform, gave a cold snort and walked away.

His earlier boasts had left him with no face to stay; he was utterly ashamed. Ye Wushuang had not only defeated the same opponent he had, but had done so with far more grace and decisiveness!

Ye Wushuang gave the elder a cupped-fist salute, then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, turned and descended from the Battle Platform.

”The competition continues! Next match: Dii Qingxue versus Qiu Xuan!”

The giant elder called out.

A beautiful woman then stepped onto the Battle Platform. She wore a pale yellow robe, and her bright eyes held a sharp, intimidating light. Her dark hair was tied up in a high bun, giving her a valiant and imposing air from a distance!

BOOM!

Dii Qingxue floated gracefully onto the Battle Platform. A gentle breeze lifted her hair, revealing a beauty so stunning it seemed otherworldly. Her indescribable Divine Charm and ethereal bearing left the entire crowd below in awe.

’What an Ice Mountain Fairy. Who could possibly be worthy of winning her heart?’

’Probably no one!’

The crowd sighed internally. Such an unattainable beauty only made them fall for her all the more!

Compared to Dii Qingxue, even Qiu Xuan’s brilliance seemed to serve only as a foil!

The two women looked at each other, then turned in unison to face the giant elder.

The giant elder announced, ”Now that you are both on the Battle Platform, the match has begun!”

”My apologies!”

At the elder’s word, a sharp light flashed in Qiu Xuan’s valiant eyes. She produced two short spears and charged at Dii Qingxue.

With a flicker of movement from Dii Qingxue, a clear moon seemed to rise into the air. Silvery light scattered around her, making her look like a living Moon God as she launched her counterattack.

Qiu Xuan was at the Spiritual Spring Fourth Layer. Dii Qingxue appeared to be at the same level, but her true Combat Power was terrifyingly deep, and no one knew its true extent.

BOOM!

Qiu Xuan struck first, taking the offensive. Her two short spears shot out an incomparably sharp radiance that descended to envelop Dii Qingxue.

Dii Qingxue formed a Sealing Technique with her hands, and the silvery light around her intensified, transforming into blades of light that slashed downward.

RUMBLE!

The terrifying energy completely disintegrated Qiu Xuan’s attack and sent her flying back, stopping just a few steps short of falling off the Battle Platform.

The spectators’ eyes narrowed. They couldn’t fathom Dii Qingxue’s true strength, because she hadn’t revealed any of her more powerful abilities from start to finish. She had fought using only her ordinary power.

”I forfeit!”

Qiu Xuan steadied herself and shouted quickly. Even though Dii Qingxue was only using her ordinary power, the disparity in their strength was crystal clear to her. There was no point in continuing the fight.

Her own strength was considerable, and losing once didn’t mean she was eliminated from the tournament.

She still had many opportunities to challenge others and make a comeback. If she continued this fight and got injured, she would lose any chance of doing so.

Having forfeited, she walked off the platform.

”In this duel, Dii Qingxue is the victor!”

The giant elder announced.

”Senior Sister Qingxue!”

”Senior Sister Qingxue!”

Down below, the members of the Ancient Spirit Sect were overjoyed. The tournament had just begun, and their side—Ye Wushuang and Dii Qingxue—had already each won a match. This was certainly a cause for celebration.

Furthermore, having witnessed the strength of their two champions, the goal of the Ancient Spirit Sect members was no longer to simply secure a spot in the top ten.

They were aiming for something much greater!

This new goal was backed by immense confidence—a confidence inspired by Ye Wushuang and Dii Qingxue!

”The next match—”

”Senior, wait. I wish to issue a challenge as well!”

Just as the giant elder was about to announce the next duel, Dii Qingxue suddenly spoke up—something she rarely did on her own initiative.

’A challenge? Who does she want to challenge?’

Suddenly, the crowd below fixed their gazes on her, their faces full of curiosity!

”A challenge is permitted!”

The giant elder nodded. ”Who do you wish to challenge?”

”Him.”

Dii Qingxue’s gaze shifted, and she pointed a slender, jade-like finger. The crowd’s eyes followed her gesture, then narrowed in surprise.

The person Dii Qingxue wanted to challenge was Second Young Master Di!

Based on the preliminary assessment, she was ranked sixth and was thus qualified to challenge him.

Seeing this, Second Young Master Di’s expression froze. His face turned incredibly grim as he stared at Dii Qingxue.

Dii Qingxue’s power was terrifying. As the Holy Country Princess, her abilities were unfathomable. Even the stronger First Young Master Di would have been no match for her.

Yet, she was singling him out for a challenge.

’This is revenge. She’s getting revenge on me on behalf of Ye Wushuang.’

’The Di Family Head declared an unending feud with Ye Wushuang, so she’s singling me out for a challenge—to kill me—to help him!’

’Second Young Master Di... is done for!’

Down below, the Di Family Head’s face was grim. ’Our only remaining contender is about to be finished, too!’

’I fear the Di Family will be the first power to be completely eliminated from this competition!’

Meanwhile, among the Ancient Spirit Sect’s contingent, a sharp glint shone in Nangong Liuyun’s eyes. He wholeheartedly approved of Dii Qingxue’s actions!

’This, at least, shows true solidarity!’

However, the other contestants on the Battle Platform exchanged strange glances. For Dii Qingxue to defend Ye Wushuang so fiercely... the nature of their relationship was certainly intriguing!
