Billy has officially broken through to the perfection realm of the War God-Emperor, and his mastery of the Domineering Blade Art has improved to a new level, making it even more effortless than before!
A blood-red blade curtain descended from the sky, like a thunderbolt on a clear day, with thunder entwining around, splitting the void in half, and dyeing the sky blood-red. The air temperature, which had dropped to freezing due to the appearance of the Yin Yang Door, simultaneously rose rapidly.
“Domineering Blade Art?!”
At this moment, the elderly man in the VIP area jumped up from his seat, his face full of shock. Without any hesitation, he shouted loudly towards Icelyn Crowe.
“Master Icelyn, dodge! You can’t take this blow from him!”
“Huh?!” At the same time, Icelyn Crowe on the stage naturally sensed the power of this strike. His pupils contracted sharply. However, he showed no signs of retreat. A fanatic gleam flashed in his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he once again created several afterimages with his hands.
“Absorb!” Immediately after, he shouted in a deep voice.
As his words fell, all the suction force of the Yin Yang Door concentrated on this one strike, causing some tables and chairs ascending into the air to fall onto the stage. The mist around the Yin Yang Door became even denser, and its surging intensity continued to rise.
But it was still of no use.
As a crisp sound spread into the ears of everyone present, the Yin Yang Door in mid-air was split in half, then dissipated into nothingness. The trend of the blade showed no signs of diminishing as it descended toward Icelyn Crowe’s head. In the next moment, the steel frame structure of the stage was also split in half, leaving a deep trench on the ground that extended a kilometer away.
Luckily, the audience had moved away from the direction Billy activated the Domineering Blade Art, or else their lives would be in danger.
“How… How is this possible…”
Icelyn Crowe stood in place, struggling to say a few words before a bloodline extended from the top of his head to his waist. His bisected body slumped on the stage, blood spraying wildly, and flesh blurred.
Until the moment of death, he couldn’t figure out how a second-rank supreme powerhouse like himself could not withstand Commander Gardner’s single blow.
“Boss, you’re too strong!” In the spectator area, Azure Dragon exclaimed excitedly.
“I knew there’s no one boss can’t kill!” Stout smacked his lips and shouted.
Ivy, Casey, and others had excited expressions on their faces. The anxiety that had hung over them finally dissipated.
“Young Master!” At the same time, the elderly man in the VIP area exclaimed in pain, shouting as he ran towards the stage.
“You killed our Young Master! Surrender your life!” When he reached about three or four hundred meters from the stage, he raised his hand and sent formidable Chi energy towards Billy. His strength was not weak, reaching the cultivation level of a third-rank Sovereign.
“You’re seeking death!” Urban Woolery’s voice sounded simultaneously, and he also threw a palm to meet the opponent’s attack.
Boom!
A shocking roar echoed. The elderly man slid a hundred meters behind before finally stopping, blood surging out of his mouth.
“Huh?” After slowing down a bit, the elderly man’s face showed a hint of fear. He looked at Urban Woolery and said, “You broke through again?”
“This is a warning. If you dare to make a move again, you won’t leave the ancient city!” Urban Woolery didn’t respond to his words, coldly replied.
The elderly man breathed heavily. Then, he looked at Billy not far away and shouted loudly, “Commander Gardner, you killed our Young Master. Yin Yang Shrine Sect will remember this debt, and we will repay it a hundredfold in the future!”
“Anytime you’re ready!” Billy shrugged his shoulders.
After that, Billy started regulating his breath with Heart Sutra of the Azure Void. He could chop down Icelyn Crowe, a second-rank Sovereign opponent, in one blow. Obviously, he had exhausted the limit of strength, and he was somewhat affected by the backlash of the Domineering Blade Art. It was all due to Icelyn Crowe having just recently broken through to the second-rank Sovereign, and his cultivation was not yet stable. Otherwise, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.
“Humph!” The elderly man snorted, waved his sleeves, and turned back to the VIP area.
He was very clear that with Urban Woolery present, he couldn’t make a move against Commander Gardner!
“Commander Gardner! You’re so cool, we love you!” At this point, cheers erupted from the spectator seats.
“Commander Gardner! Commander Gardner! Commander Gardner!”
Other onlookers began to shout, their eyes filled with admiration.
Immediately after, thunderous applause echoed at the scene, lasting for five or six minutes.
“Everyone, please be quiet!” After the applause continued for a while, Otis Hum walked onto the platform, pressing his hands around to signal silence.
Gradually, the surroundings quieted down.
“Firstly, thank you, dear fellows, for your support to the tournament committee in the past few days. Thank you all!” Otis Hum bowed slightly to the audience.
“The challenge tournament of this Dragon and Phoenix Ranking has come to an end. Congratulations to the one hundred outstanding talents who made it onto the list.”
“Later, we will release the list of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking for everyone in the martial world to pay attention to.”
“In addition, the committee has prepared generous prizes for the top one hundred talents. Now, let’s move on to the award ceremony…”
“Just a moment!” At this time, an old man’s voice resounded through the entire void, deafening.
As the voice rang out, six residual images descended from the sky. One of the old men landed in front of the stage, less than a hundred meters away from Billy. The other five men and women stood around the stage, encircling Billy and the old man in the middle.
The man in the middle, who had just spoken, was exactly the person who had spoken earlier. His actual age couldn’t be discerned, and he also had white hair and beard, a spirited appearance, and no fluctuation of aura. Apart from the old man, the other five people, both men and women, were around thirty to thirty-five years old, all dressed in Daoist robes, exuding noble temperament and fierce aura.
“You finally appeared!” Billy glanced around at the few people, casually saying a sentence. He had speculated earlier that several major super sects would have other cards besides Icelyn Crowe among the talented individuals they sent to the Ancient City. If Icelyn Crowe had won, these people would not show up. But now Icelyn Crowe had failed, they surely stepped in.
It seemed to be as expected.
While speaking, Billy released his spiritual power to probe the martial arts aura of the five men and one woman. The next moment, his pupils couldn’t help but slightly contract–all five of them, without exception, were all cultivators at the first-rank Sovereign Realm. Among them, two were on the verge of breaking through again.
The background of the major super sects was indeed formidable. Any one of these five people was enough to wipe out a top-tier force.
“What’s the meaning of this? Is this a fair fight, or do you want more people?” In the seating area, Azure Dragon frowned. As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the stage. Stout and Soul Chaser followed suit.
