“You crippled Master Adrian’s cultivation. How dare you! Are you not afraid of death!” Elder Hayes glared at Ivy on the platform and shouted angrily.
“I’ve given him a chance, but he didn’t cherish it. Can’t blame me,” Ivy shrugged her shoulders.
“You’re truly damned! I’ll kill you!” Elder Hayes, furious, raised his hand and sent two powerful gusts of wind towards the platform.
“Winston Hayes, are you tired of living!” Milo Guzman’s voice came, and a powerful force dispersed Winston Hayes’s attack.
“Milo Guzman, she crippled my young sect master’s cultivation. I must take her life today. Better not stop me!” Winston Hayes shouted angrily.
“You old man, aren’t you ashamed!” Milo Guzman responded coldly. “There are rules in the competition. As long as the opponent doesn’t surrender, participants have the right to fight.”
“Are you telling me you don’t know this rule?” he added with a sneer.
“Regardless of the rules, she dared to harm Master Adrian severely. I will end her life today!” Winston Hayes continued.
“Are you really going to do this?” Milo Guzman sneered. “If you want to die, go ahead and try!”
“Do you think I don’t dare?” Winston Hayes took a deep breath, and his aura surged, revealing his cultivation at the second-tier Sovereign level.
“If you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!” Milo Guzman coldly responded, and both of their auras erupted, creating a suffocating pressure.
At this moment, the audience once again fell into a breathless atmosphere.
“Hayes Elder, come back!” The leader of the other faction spoke up.
“Brother Crowe, she…” Winston Hayes turned his head.
“Brother Hayes, this is the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking competition. It has its rules, and everyone needs to abide by them!” The leader’s tone was slightly heavy.
Winston Hayes let out a heavy breath, looked at Ivy on the platform with a cold expression, and said, “This isn’t over, we’ll meet again soon!”
With that, he helped Adrian Hayes and walked towards the VIP area.
“Ivy, are you okay?” Frostblade asked Ivy when she returned to her seat.
“I’m fine,” Ivy replied with a light smile.
“You’re too strong. You broke through so quickly again, Ivy!” Stout smacked his lips.
“No, you’re too slow.” Ivy glanced at him.
“Congratulations, Ivy!” Billy smiled and said, “You’ve fully demonstrated the power of Celestial Death Tune, probably no less than Thousand-Handed Zither Demon in its prime.”
“Thanks, Billy,” Ivy smiled sweetly.
“Now, let’s welcome Commander Gardner and Mr Icelyn Crowe to the stage!” The referee’s voice sounded on the platform.
“Billy, be careful!” Ivy looked at Billy and warned.
“If you can’t hold on, just surrender, boss!” Soul Chaser also spoke.
Casey and the others showed a slightly worried expression.
“Don’t worry.” Billy smiled faintly and walked towards the platform.
“Commander Gardner, Commander Gardner, Commander Gardner!”
“Commander Gardner, go for it!”
“Commander Gardner, we love you!”
“…”
The cheers from the audience were deafening as Billy stepped onto the stage.
“Indeed, Commander Gardner’s reputation is not to be underestimated!” Icelyn Crowe looked at Billy and smiled.
“You’re not bad either. Breaking through to the Sovereign Realm at your age, probably unique in the country. ” Billy responded indifferently.
“Just lucky,” Icelyn Crowe smiled again. He didn’t show surprise that Billy knew his cultivation level. At this stage of the competition, such information was already public knowledge. While speaking, he released his spiritual power to probe Billy’s cultivation, and his pupils couldn’t help but slightly contract.
“Commander Gardner, you impressed me as well. If I remember correctly, you should have only reached the peak of the War God-Emperor yesterday?” Icelyn Crowe said. “Just one night, and you’ve already made it to a whole different level. Admirable!”
“Several major super sects should have sent more than just you as their representatives to the Ancient City, right?” Billy continued to ask.
“Commander Gardner, are you forgetful? The young masters of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect and Saint Sky Sword Pavilion, both were crippled by your hands!” Icelyn Crowe responded lightly.
“Is that so?” Billy smiled faintly. “If people like Louie Wolfe and Adrian Hayes can be considered representatives of your major sects, then your sects are truly disappointing.”
From his understanding of the major sects, each power was a millennium-old existence with profound heritage, not something that could be compared to the likes of Louie Wolfe. In Billy’s view, only young people who broke through to the Sovereign realm in martial arts could be considered exceptional. But so far in the competition, he had only seen Icelyn Crowe at that level, which was abnormal.
“Commander Gardner, don’t need to beat around the bush with me.” Icelyn Crowe shrugged. “I can tell you clearly that I am the last participant sent by the major super sects to participate in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking competition.”
“Really?” Billy smiled again. “Let’s not talk about this. Let’s get started!”
“Do you really intend to fight me?” Icelyn Crowe squinted his eyes. “You should be clear. Although you’ve reached the perfection realm, there’s still a difference of two levels between us. Moreover, it’s the existence of crossing the Sovereign realm. Even if your martial talent is strong and you can challenge beyond your level, you can only unleash the power of a first-rank Sovereign at most. Although I just broke through to the second-rank Sovereign not long ago, my cultivation is not stable. But you still have no chance of winning.”
“You seem very confident?” Billy looked at him with a faint smile.
“Do you not think so, Commander Gardner?” Icelyn Crowe responded with a smile.
“Then make your move!” Billy did not respond to his words and drew the Bloodshadow Fury Blade from his body.
“Since that’s the case, let me experience your skills!” Icelyn Crowe shrugged, and a cold aura filled the air.
“Commander Gardner, take my move!” Icelyn Crowe spoke in a deep voice, and a vast wave of qi surged like a landslide and tsunami.
The two referees standing around the platform couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily. The aura of the Sovereign realm was indeed extraordinary. Following that, Icelyn Crowe took two steps forward, without any fancy moves, just activated his Chi energy and threw a punch.
