The incredibly sharp blade directly cleaved Rita Wolfe’s ancient sword into two halves, with the front half clattering to the ground. Almost simultaneously with the ancient sword falling, the residual force of the blade swept past her shoulder blades. Immediately, a wound over twenty centimeters long appeared, and fresh blood gushed out. Fortunately, she managed to dodge at a critical moment; otherwise, she might have lost her entire arm.
“Hmm…” Rita Wolfe emitted a muffled groan as she retreated more than ten steps, her upper body stained red with blood, looking quite unpleasant. She never expected that, even with an artifact in hand, she was still no match for Azure Dragon.
Confident as she was before the match, she was hit hard by the result. Just before the competition today, she was thinking about securing the first place against the War God-Emperor junior and challenging opponents in higher realm tomorrow. But now, she was effortlessly defeated by Azure Dragon in the same realm, and even her precious artifact was cut off. Thinking about the words she had said to Azure Dragon before, she felt like a clown.
“You dodged quite quickly!” Azure Dragon’s voice echoed again. “However, I’ll take your cultivation base. Blame it on yourself for being from the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect!”
As he spoke, his figure flashed, and at the same time, he raised his hand and swept a palm towards Rita Wolfe’s Dantian.
“Kid, how dare you!” A black-robed old man shouted from the spectator stand. “Miss, concede quickly!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t be bothered anymore. After rushing out of the spectator stand, he raised his hand and slammed it towards Azure Dragon on the stage.
“Impudent!” The chief referee angrily shouted and activated his entire body’s power to meet the attack.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out, and the referee quickly stepped back five or six steps before stabilizing himself, his pupils slightly contracting.
He was at the complete level of the War God-Emperor realm, and being forced back so many steps by the chief referee’s palm was undoubtedly a sign that referee was at least a half-step Sovereign
Almost simultaneously, another blue-robed old man emerged from the seating area, raising his hand towards Azure Dragon.
“You are seeking death!” Otis Hum’s voice echoed in the air.
At the same time the voice sounded, he dashed like a phantom, and a violent wave of Chi swept out from his hands.
Bang!
The forceful wind from the blue-robed old man flipped Azure Dragon over, with traces of blood appearing at the corners of his mouth. But fortunately, Azure Dragon managed to evade half of his body at a critical moment, so the injury was not too severe.
At the same time, the force of the palm that Otis Hum swept out directly lifted the blue-robed old man into the air. The old man’s face showed a deep expression of horror. After flying three to four hundred meters and crashing heavily to the ground, he tumbled several somersaults before lying motionless on the ground.
“You…” He opened his mouth and uttered only one word, and a large amount of blood gushed out. Following that, his pupils rapidly dilated, his legs kicked, and then he fell silent.
“Elder Cloud!” The black-robed old man from before shouted in pain, turning to look at Otis Hum rushing over. “Damn it, you killed him?”
“Disturbing the order of the arena, taking unauthorized action against the participants on the stage, punishable by death!” Otis Hum responded sternly. “You are no exception. Keep him company!”
At the moment he spoke, the oppressive aura instantly exploded from Otis Hum’s body. Then, his hands quickly flipped, and thunderous Chi rushed toward the black-robed old man.
The black-robed old man snorted coldly, advancing instead of retreating. He raised his hand to meet Otis’s attack.
A fierce clash erupted on the stage, causing intense impact sounds. The powerful shockwaves quickly spread to the surroundings, flipping over the spectators who were closer. Meanwhile, on the stage, Azure Dragon had already climbed up from the ground. After glancing at Rita Wolfe, he didn’t hesitate and immediately struck a palm towards her.
She was part of the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect and they nearly took his and Billy’s lives along with Casey’s a few nights ago, Azure Dragon wouldn’t show mercy. Moreover, even without that incident, he would never spare a sect like the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, which was a parasite on the nation.
At this moment, Rita Wolfe’s attention had been drawn to the fight below the stage. She didn’t expect Azure Dragon to attack her again.
“Watch out Rita!” A cry came from the spectator stand, and it was Louie Wolfe, who appeared at the Dunn family’s restaurant a few days ago.
“Huh?!” After Rita reacted, she trembled. She quickly shouted towards the direction of the referee, “Don’t… I concede…”
Bang!
As her words sounded, the powerful palm wind had already collided with her lower abdomen, and her whole person shot backward, leaving an arc-shaped trail of blood in mid-air. Heavily landing on the stage tens of meters away, she spewed a large amount of blood from her mouth, her face pale.
“You… You crippled my cultivation?” After recovering slightly, she looked at Azure Dragon with difficulty, her eyes filled with endless despair.
“Is there a problem?” Azure Dragon shrugged his shoulders, ignoring her. He turned and walked towards the lower part of the stage.
“Ah…” A heart-wrenching scream came from behind as Rita Wolfe fainted due to the shock to her heart and blood.
“Rita!” Louie Wolfe quickly rushed onto the stage. After helping Rita up, he swept a glance at Billy’s group, his eyes filled with endless coldness.
Boom!
Simultaneously, a thunderous noise spread through the air. Otis Hum and the black-robed old man both retreated more than ten steps. From the auras of the two, it was clear that Otis had a slight advantage.
“Otis Hum, do you really want to go to war with our Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect?!” The black-robed old man, suppressing the surging blood in his heart, angrily questioned.
“Why not!” Otis Hum responded loudly. “Do you think the capital is afraid of you turning against us?”
“Humph!” The black-robed old man snorted. “Can your words represent Capital Hall? If so, then forget about the Dragon Phoenix Ranking competition. You can take care of yourselves!”
“You can’t win, so you start threatening?” Just at this moment, the voice of the national minister, Urban Woolery, sounded. His tone became serious as he continued, “The Dragon Phoenix Ranking competition was proposed by your several major sects yourselves. The capital has given you enough face!”
“The rules of the competition were jointly negotiated and agreed upon by both sides. You, an old thing leading the violation of the rules, not only attacked the participants openly but also dared to shout here. I feel ashamed for your Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect!”
“Minister Woolery, you…” The black-robed old man took a deep breath and spoke.
“Shut up! I haven’t finished speaking!” Urban Woolery interrupted him sternly. “Didn’t you just ask if Lord Hum’s words can represent Capital Hall? I’ll answer you now, they can!”
“If your Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect wants to turn hostile, we’re ready to face it!!!”
