Zhuge Xiang vs. the Fox Emperor
Boom!
Thunder Flame Emperor's attack, with every move, possessed power surpassing that of Zhuge Xiang and the Demon Dragon Emperor. Such might was terrifying. This burning Lightning attack seemed to be much stronger than Zhuge Xiang's full-force strike. The burning Lightning directly engulfed the Poison Emperor, and the shrill screams deeply shook the entire Sole Dominance Mountain.
" In the Quarterfinals, the fourth match, Thunder Flame Emperor faced Poison Emperor, and Thunder Flame Emperor emerged victorious."
Even though the aftershocks of the explosion had not yet subsided, the Great Emperor was presiding over the Sacred War still spoke up and made the announcement.
As Great Emperor, his insight was naturally unmatched by others. Since he had declared Thunder Flame Emperor victor, it was clear that the Poison Emperor was at least no longer capable of fighting. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, the entire Sole Dominance Mountain fell into a moment of deathly silence.
"Impossible! That Poison Emperor was at least close to the Asura Emperor tier, yet he was defeated in a single move?" Mo Lingna, standing next to Zhuge Xiang, couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief upon hearing this outcome.
The powerful Poison Emperor was instantly killed by Thunder Flame Emperor in a single move. Even though everyone knew that Thunder Flame Emperor was very strong and was known as the head of the Five Emperors, the Poison Emperor's strength was undeniable. Even if he was no match for him, he should have been able to put up a fight. However, no one expected that the battle would end so quickly. In one move, the Poison Emperor didn't even have a chance to make a move before being instantly killed by Thunder Flame Emperor.
Sure enough, after the aftershocks of the explosion slowly dissipated, the scene inside was revealed. The Poison Emperor's corpse lay there, almost unrecognizable as a human being. The twisted corpse was devoid of any life force. Just as the Great Emperor had announced, he had been blasted to death. Naturally, Thunder Flame Emperor had won.
Having instantly killed the Poison Emperor, Thunder Flame Emperor's expression revealed a hint of smugness. His gaze shifted, landing on Zhuge Xiang, his eyes filled with undisguised malice and a blatant threat. Clearly, riding the wave of his victory over the Poison Emperor, Thunder Flame Emperor was taunting Zhuge Xiang.
"This guy, although his character is despicable, his strength is indeed ridiculously strong." Zhuge Xiang pretended not to see Thunder Flame Emperor's demonstrative gaze, but he still acknowledged the strength Zhuge Xiang Thunder Flame Emperor displayed. He killed the Poison Emperor in one move. It has to be said that although Zhuge Xiang had already overestimated Thunder Flame Emperor's strength, he was still surprised by his strength.
"This guy... he's just a bit vain, taking it too seriously." Although the Purple Emperor had killed the Poison Emperor in one move, his expression towards the Thunder Flame Emperor, while showing a hint of surprise, remained one of disdain, as if the Thunder Flame Emperor's ability to instantly Poison Emperor was still beneath his notice.
Regardless of what the people on Sole Dominance Mountain thought about the power displayed by Thunder Flame Emperor, the Sacred War had to continue. The Great Emperor announced the end of Thunder Flame Emperor's battle and then gave everyone an hour to rest.
Although Zhuge Xiang's injuries were not light, with his body that was as strong as a Dragon Clan's, plus the help of Pill, he quickly recovered most of the injuries from his battle with the Demon Dragon Emperor. The other powerful figures also seized this hour to adjust their condition and get themselves to their peak.
The Quarterfinals have ended, and only four remain in this Sacred War: Thunder Flame Emperor, Purple Emperor, Fox Emperor, and Zhuge Xiang. The opponents in the next battle will obviously be among these four.
The Sacred War has now reached the Semifinals. Each of the four has a reputation that resounds throughout the Asura Path. In particular, Zhuge Xiang, with the strength of the Asura King, has actually reached this point. It can be said that no one has ever done it before or since.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, the Great Emperor who was presiding over the Sacred War spoke and announced the Semifinals matchups: Zhuge Xiang versus the Fox Emperor.
"He's going to fight the Fox Emperor? It seems I'll be facing the Thunder Flame Emperor next." Upon hearing the Great Emperor announce the battle results, the Purple Emperor glanced at the Thunder Flame Emperor, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Hmph, I hope you can hold out against the Fox Emperor so I can kill you in public." Upon hearing that Zhuge Xiang's opponent was the Fox Emperor, not himself, Thunder Flame Emperor was somewhat disappointed, but then he rallied his spirits and thought to himself.
Upon realizing this, Thunder Flame Emperor also thought of Purple Emperor. His gaze fell on Purple Emperor, and he caught sight of the meaningful smile on his lips. This infuriated Thunder Flame Emperor. How dare he show such a smile when his opponent was him? Did this guy want to die?
"These guys are not easy to deal with," the Fox Emperor thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over Zhuge Xiang, the Purple Emperor, and the Thunder Flame Emperor.
Although Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level was only at the Asura King level, the Fox Emperor was naturally not fooled by Zhuge Xiang's appearance. Therefore, even when facing Zhuge Xiang, the Fox Emperor did not relax in the slightest. The defeats of the Demon Dragon Emperor and the White Bone Emperor were a lesson from the past.
"I never expected that my opponent would be you, the most renowned figure in the Asura Path right now Wine Emperor was defeated without a fight, the White Bone Emperor was slain by you, and the Demon Dragon Emperor was also defeated by you. You truly deserve to be called the terminator of the Asura Emperor. In your battle against me, you'd better hold back."
With her eyes sparkling, the Fox Emperor approached Zhuge Xiang and spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice that made one's bones feel soft.
"You're too kind Fox Emperor. Although you asked me to go easy on you, I'm sure you'd be angry if I did," Zhuge Xiang replied with a smile, not daring to be complacent about the Fox Emperor's flattery.
Zhuge Xiang knew very well that in the Asura Path, battle was a sacred matter. Although the Fox Emperor told him to go easy on her, if he actually did, it would be the greatest insult to the Fox Emperor. Therefore, her words about going easy on him were not to be taken seriously.
"Hehehe, I knew it, you're just as clueless as me," Zhuge Xiang's words made the Fox Emperor laugh sweetly, while giving Zhuge Xiang a charmingly flirtatious eye roll.
However, upon closer inspection, this eye roll reveals a hint of appreciation; clearly, she greatly admires Zhuge Xiang's unwavering fighting spirit.
"Since you say I'm clueless about romance, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhuge Xiang didn't seem ashamed at the Fox Emperor's disdain, but rather proud. As he spoke, he put away the Sea Calming Divine Needle Bang and took out the Immortal Slaying Sword, his sharp killing intent bursting forth.
