Secret Sword: Ember!

Zhou Zhe's subtle shift in gaze was imperceptible to the viewers in the Cosmic Live Stream.

But Hansenelton caught it all.

"Hahaha! I really wanted to kill Zhou Yulin just now!"

The Bronze Colossus let out a deafening roar: "Cunning brat! You almost tricked me!"

"Too bad, young man, you're still too green!"

"Killing him now is a mercy for him!"

"His soul hasn't collapsed yet, how can it end so quickly?"

"I will torment him severely! Torment him until his soul shatters!"

A flicker of panic crossed Zhou Zhe's eyes, adopting a "I'm trying hard to pretend I don't care, but you're completely oblivious" demeanor.

The interaction between the two, when heard by the viewers in the live stream, immediately triggered a wave of comments from the onlookers.

"Isn't Master Zhou's opponent that Wenren Yi? Where did this guy named Hansenelton come from?"

"What the hell! Isn't this cheating?! This guy said his main body is a Silver One-Star Gladiator!"

"Why isn't the 'Dao' doing anything about this? Someone's cheating! An old grandpa giving pointers from the side is enough, but him personally entering the arena is just ridiculous!"

"This is too much (#`O′)! @Dao, Dad, look! Someone's cheating! This is insulting your intelligence! Dad! Ban his account! Force him offline!"

"This idiot made me laugh! You're dancing the Charleston in front of Death! How dare you claim kinship with the Dao?"

"Since the opponent wasn't eliminated, it means the Dao has tacitly approved! Although I don't understand why. Anyway, I don't dare to say, and I don't dare to ask..."

"A twisted sense of humor?"

"Didn't you guys notice? This Hansenelton, to get revenge on Zhou Zhe, voluntarily and permanently lowered his own strength. It was only after he was demoted that his rating became Silver One-Star! He was originally an invincible existence on some planet!"

"Whoa! What kind of grudge, what kind of hatred!"

"Zhou Zhe's luck is truly something else. He only fought once in the Cosmic Arena, killed some damned 'Super Horned Demon', and attracted such a formidable opponent. He's really unlucky!"

"Bad luck can't be blamed on society, and a hard life can't be blamed on the government! This is a matter of personal 'status', Zhou Zhe was born a 'Catalyst', understand? He attracts protagonist energy, ever heard of it!"

"You say that like it's true, are you trying to say that Wenren Yi is also a protagonist?"

"Why wouldn't she be? Wenren Yi said before the fight that she's an orphan! Her entire sect is wiped out, isn't that enough qualification to be a protagonist?"

"Fine! The sect sacrifices to heaven, and their magic power is boundless! I'm convinced!"

"Ceramic Domain again, Bronze Puppet, and the old grandpa personally intervening! It makes me so cold all over, my hands are trembling, and I can't help but cry. The whole world suddenly turned dim! Why can this Wenren Yi summon reinforcements? Why are they targeting my Your Highness Zhe like this?"

While the live stream was filled with ridiculous comments, Wenren Yi finally gathered her aura and spirituality to their peak and unleashed her killing move!

"Go..."

"Secret Sword: Ember!"

Wrapped in unparalleled sharpness and spiritual energy blades, the Purple Flying Sword rapidly flew towards Zhou Zhe!

At this moment, it was as if it wasn't a weapon, but had transformed into a person—a person who had everything destroyed, leaving only despair and hatred.

In an instant, an immense sense of terror seized Zhou Zhe.

He would die!

If he was hit, he would definitely die!

Even a slight graze on his face would cause his body to shatter into a sky full of bloody mist, dying on the spot!

The deathly premonition urged Zhou Zhe to dodge, but an invisible Aura Field, like shackles, locked onto him firmly, rendering him completely unable to move!

This Aura Field was extremely powerful, tens of times stronger than the aura naturally emitted by the Essence of Xingtian, making it impossible to resist!

After all, this was Wenren Yi's all-out attack, staking everything.

Success or annihilation!

"Secret Sword: Ember? I'll remember that."

Zhou Zhe's face was filled with solemnity, his heart pounding uncontrollably, and the world in his eyes seemed to slow down.

One hundred meters...

Fifty meters...

Ten meters...

Closer, even closer!

The pale purple flying sword shimmered with a mysterious brilliance.

Bricks, tiles, walls, airborne dust, grass and trees...

Everything in its path was annihilated.

However, when the flying sword was still one meter away from Zhou Zhe, a faint smile bloomed on his face.

"See you later."

Temporary Class: Plane Traveler, activated!

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Zhe escaped Senter Dreamland and returned to the cube where he had just arrived in the Kindling World.

Rumble…

Violent tremors, like a magnitude ten earthquake on a natural planet, made it impossible to stand steadily.

Zhou Zhe leaned against the wall, silently looking at a screen wall.

"We interrupt this program for an urgent news bulletin!"

" A female Cosmic Arena Combatant wielding a cold weapon has caused destruction in Senter Dreamland, leading to the current minor tremors!"

"Citizens are advised not to move around randomly and to remain calm!"

"Everything is under control!"

"We will be able to repair the malfunction in the Dreamland's structural modules shortly!"

Seeing this, Zhou Zhe shook his head.

Fake news!

Typical fake news.

The more precise the machinery, the more it resembles a living body, and the more a single loose thread can unravel the whole tapestry!

The Kindling World, in simple terms, is an artificial world that looks like a Rubik's Cube!

It can be said to be extremely precise!

Wenren Yi, a veteran gladiator who had been suppressed in Black Iron Five Stars for many matches, her true strength was probably at least Bronze One-Star.

For someone like that, to mobilize her trump cards, give her all, and unleash her ultimate killing move, only to cause "minor tremors"...

Who were they looking down on?

The next moment, Zhou Zhe vanished into the void, his figure flickering as he returned to Senter Dreamland.

A sword light, imbued with a faint purple aura, completely tore Senter Dreamland in half!

The blue sky and the earth were brutally severed!

Countless nanobots wriggled frantically, attempting to repair Senter Dreamland, but it was all in vain—the pale purple sword light, like a grinding mill, slowly wore them down!

Repair?

What a joke!

Zhou Zhe saw The Silent One leading a group of bald, grey-skinned figures frantically scrambling into escape pods, clearly intending to flee.

As the saying goes: For want of a nail, a horseshoe was lost; for want of a horseshoe, a rider was lost; for want of a rider, a message was lost; for want of a message, a battle was lost; for want of a battle, a kingdom was lost; for want of a kingdom, a realm was lost.

The butterfly effect is countless in the universe!

What's more, what was destroyed was not some insignificant, discardable edge module, but the core of the Kindling World—Senter Dreamland!

The Kindling World was on the verge of destruction!

Wenren Yi, fearing she wouldn't be able to kill Zhou Zhe, had struck with extreme ruthlessness, truly giving it her all!

Not far away, she seemed to have completely fallen into a state of exhaustion, her face as pale as gold leaf, her breath faint, making one feel pity.

In this regard, having a high level of attractiveness had its benefits.

Whether it was a powerful female sword immortal or a frail Lin Daiyu, Wenren Yi could perfectly embody any image.

Her current posture didn't make her look pathetic; instead, it naturally evoked a strong desire to protect in most men.

Unfortunately.

Zhou Zhe, clearly, did not belong to the "most" category.

A smile spread across his dark eyes, and his gentle words even carried a hint of admiration: "Brother, you fought well."

"I learned a lot from your move just now."

"The path to transcendence is long, may we meet again!"

"Now I..."

"Will send you on your way!"

With that, flames erupted, and wind and thunder surged!

The Straight-Bladed Long Saber unsheathed, piercing the void.

The next instant, its edge sank into Wenren Yi's chest, directly pulverizing her heart into dust.

Dinner is served~

Speaking of which, I struggled with the title of this chapter for a very, very long time!
