“Trouble will naturally arise!” Urban Woolery squinted slightly, adding with a hint of coldness in his eyes.”However, it depends on whether they have the courage and ability to snatch things from the hands of Cabinet’s Junior Minister!”
While speaking, an involuntary chill permeated the air. At the same time, in the adjacent VIP area, the same topic was under discussion.
“I didn’t expect that the little girl from Secret Essences Sect would actually inherit Thousand-Handed Zither Demon’s legacy!” The white-haired elder sitting at the first seat said lightly.
Afterwards, he turned to an elder on his left and said, “Brother Hayes, it seems that the battle of the Young Sect Master is a bit precarious!”
“Indeed.” Elder Hayes nodded with a slightly serious expression. He had also noticed that although Ivy’s martial arts cultivation level was one rank lower than Adrian Hayes, with the assistance of Celestial Death Tune, Ivy’s strength had increased several times.
Currently, it seemed that the two were evenly matched, but Adrian Hayes seemed a bit weak, not as calm and composed as Ivy.
“Brother Crowe, Master Crowe should be fine, right?” Elder Hayes took a deep breath and looked at the elder who spoke first.
“Rest assured!” The leading elder played with his goatee.
“A second-rank Sovereign and the pinnacle of the War God-Emperor, separated by three levels, and also crossed the gap from War God-Emperor to Sovereign. Even if he is a millennium Qilin, he cannot have the slightest chance of winning!”
“That’s right!” Elder Hayes nodded slightly. “I’m just worried that something unexpected might happen!”
“Brother Hayes, rest assured!” The leading elder picked up the tea beside him and took a sip. Then, with a meaningful tone, he added, “All the contingencies have already been considered by me!”
“That’s good!” Elder Hayes nodded again.
Bang!
Just at that moment, there was another burst of explosive sounds above the arena, echoing through the air, much louder than before.
At the same time, powerful waves of Chi surged out, shaking the surrounding air. The oppressive momentum in the air soared again.
“It should be over!” At this moment, Adrian Hayes said in a deep voice. Immediately after, he narrowed his eyes, and nine ancient swords stabbed towards Ivy from different directions. The speed was so fast, like a fleeting white horse, accompanied by a piercing sound of breaking wind.
“Let’s see if you have the strength!” Ivy’s tone also became serious.
Following that, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, the movement of plucking the strings with her right hand accelerated, the melody becoming more and more intense, and the sound getting higher. In no time, the decibels rapidly increased to an extreme.
Boom!
The next moment, a thunderous roar sounded. Eight of the nine ancient swords exploded in an instant, becoming invisible. The remaining one was directly shattered into three pieces and fell to the ground, emitting a crisp sound. On the other side, the pipa in Ivy’s hand also exploded, breaking into pieces.
Adrian Hayes and Ivy both spewed a large mouthful of blood into the air. After heavily falling on the arena floor more than a hundred meters away, they each tumbled several somersaults before coming to a stop.
“You really surprised me!” After a while, Adrian Hayes struggled to stand up, his face showing an expression of disbelief. He never expected that Ivy would actually block his strongest move with just a pipa. This result was obviously unacceptable to him. He had always considered himself the first genius of the Saint Sky Sword Pavilion. Apart from a few peerless geniuses from other super sects, he never regarded any peer of the same age highly. Even Commander Gardner couldn’t catch his eye.
At first, Adrian Hayes planned to quickly defeat Ivy, then challenge Billy. By the time he defeated Commander Gardner in one go, he wouldn’t even need Icelyn Crowe to take action, and he could sit on the top spot.
The top spot was not only for the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking but more importantly, it represented the heir to the national fortune. Before setting out for the ancient city, representatives of several super sects had reached a consensus. Whoever took down Commander Gardner would become the heir to the national fortune, which was an attractive prospect for anyone.
“If you’re not ready to surrender yet, there’s still something surprising waiting for you!” After Ivy stood up, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her hand.
“Really?” Adrian Hayes smiled, “I really want to see what other surprises you have for me!”
“Don’t want to surrender?” Ivy’s lips curved slightly, “Then, as you wish!”
With that said, her figure flashed towards Adrian Hayes like a phantom, as fast as lightning. At the same time, a pressure several times stronger than before swept out from her, instantly enveloping the nearby Adrian Hayes. Adrian Hayes immediately felt a sense of difficulty in advancing, and he couldn’t help but shiver all over, his face full of horror.
“Master Adrian, surrender quickly; she has already broken through to the perfection realm of the War God-Emperor!”
An urgent voice came from the VIP area, the Hayes elder from the Saint Sky Sword Pavilion. When Ivy launched her attack, he had sensed something unusual. Ivy, at this moment, showed no signs of injury, and her aura was much stronger than before, clearly indicating a breakthrough! And now, Adrian Hayes was already severely injured, with only one-third of his combat power remaining. He was no match for Ivy.
“I…” Adrian Hayes shivered again and hurriedly shouted.
However, he was a step too slow. Just as he uttered a word, a palm wind from Ivy penetrated his abdomen. Without any suspense, the force as powerful as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood tore his Dantian into pieces, rendering him completely useless.
“Ah…” With a hysterical scream, Adrian Hayes flew out towards the east side of the arena. After heavily landing on the ground, he rolled several somersaults and fainted directly.
“Oh my god!” Seeing this scene, Soul Chaser exclaimed to Billy in the seat, “Boss, did Ivy really break through to the perfection realm?”
“After passing through the Spirit Spring in Heartbreak Valley last time, your martial talent has greatly improved, and the breakthrough speed is much higher than that of ordinary martial artists.” Billy nodded slightly. “Ivy showed signs of a breakthrough a few days ago. It’s just that she hasn’t been able to grasp that opportunity!”
“I see.” Soul Chaser nodded.
“Master Adrian!” At the same time, Elder Hayes rushed out of the VIP area, shouting when he reached Adrian Hayes. After he roughly checked Adrian’s condition, his face changed drastically.
