Wan'er Wanted to Consummate the Marriage!?

Even the steward below the arena froze for a moment before rising to his feet.

"Winner, Xuan Ye!"

"You may choose to claim your reward and Bronze Tier Fighter badge, ending the challenge, or you may choose to continue challenging!"

On the arena, Ye Xuan slowly lowered his Big Hand behind his back and frowned at the steward.

"Can I directly challenge a Gold Tier Battle King?"

He did not have much time and did not want to waste it in a place like this.

Huh!?

But Shen Qingliu's words left everyone present stunned.

Directly challenge Gold Tier?

That was the Battle Tower's sole king, undefeated since taking residence here!

Xuan Ye had only won one match, yet he wanted to challenge the Battle King?

Was he mad?

Even the several Silver Tier Generals on the second floor could not help looking down, their gazes filled with shock and uncertainty.

"Hehe, this person is rather interesting!"

"Blood Butcher, it has been a long time since anyone dared challenge you, hasn't it?"

Inside the highest private room on the third floor, a red-clad girl in luxurious armor swallowed a piece of spirit flower pastry and smiled.

"It has indeed been a long time."

Below her, a burly cultivator in mottled blood armor nodded. "So long that they have forgotten their fear of this subordinate."

His tone was calm, but the Dark Red eyes beneath his ferocious turtle-faced helmet flashed with intense killing intent.

"Hehe, I believe in your strength. If no one defeats you today, I'll bring you along to the Ancient Sword Manor this time!" The girl clapped her little hands, shaking pastry crumbs loose.

"Blood Butcher thanks Young Miss!" Hearing this, Blood Butcher's killing intent vanished, and joy filled his face.

At this moment, the arena steward had also recovered his senses.

"Ahem, in principle, challengers can only proceed one by one before they may share the arena with Battle King Blood Butcher..."

"Oh." This made Ye Xuan rather impatient. He then swept his gaze across the entire Battle Tower and said, "Then all the remaining people can come at me together!"

All together!?

The entire hall fell silent before discussions erupted once more.

Arrogant!

There were plenty of madmen in the Battle Tower.

But one this arrogant? This was the first!

He was clearly treating the other seven as if they did not exist!

"How presumptuous! What do you think you are, to dare make such a clamor on the Battle Arena?"

On the second floor, the previously named White-Haired Rat looked down at Ye Xuan.

The other fighters and generals also rose to their feet.

This man was humiliating them.

"By Young Miss's command, grant this man his wish. Everyone except Blood Butcher may take the stage, and the winner's reward will be doubled again!"

At that moment, the woman's voice rang out once more from the mysterious private room on the third floor.

The reward would be doubled again!?

Everyone's hearts shook. Could there really be such a good thing!?

"Hmph, I alone am enough to defeat this man!"

Before the crowd could recover, White-Haired Rat activated his movement technique, turning into an afterimage as he charged down toward the arena.

In practically the span of a breath, White-Haired Rat appeared above the arena. His Big Hand resembled a sharp claw, blooming with keen silver radiance as it tore through the void!

"White-Haired Rat has the fastest movement technique among the Silver Tier Generals!"

"And he opened with his famed martial skill, the Void Rend Claw!"

"Too fast!"

In an instant, cries of alarm rose all around.

Yet at the center of the arena, Ye Xuan merely narrowed his eyes, lightning flickering in their depths.

To him, such speed was like a turtle crawling!

In that flash of lightning and spark of flint, Ye Xuan merely shifted slightly, his body instantly sliding sideways.

Buzz!

White-Haired Rat's Void Rend Claw missed, its sharp force striking the ground and leaving three deep gouges in the arena!

"Hmm!?"

But White-Haired Rat, descending with his Void Rend Claw, felt his heart quake violently.

This man had actually evaded his Void Rend Claw so easily!?

"Not good!"

What was more, he suddenly discovered that Ye Xuan, who had moved aside, wore a sinister smile at the corner of his lips.

Then he saw Ye Xuan fiercely kick out, faint arcs of lightning even flashing around his foot.

It was so fast that even he had no time to react.

Crack!

Pfft!

The sound of shattering bone suddenly rang throughout the Battle Tower.

Everything happened in an instant. The crowd only saw White-Haired Rat's Void Rend Claw hit the ground before they found his body flying away in an arc!

One kick—White-Haired Rat was defeated!

"Your chances are running out."

Only when Ye Xuan's voice sounded again from the arena did everyone in the Battle Tower come back to their senses.

Seeing White-Haired Rat sprawled on the ground, blood staining his clothes as he lay completely unconscious, everyone gaped.

They had not even seen clearly before White-Haired Rat was already defeated!

Was Xuan Ye actually this strong!?

The remaining few exchanged distant glances and finally understood that this man was far from as simple as he appeared.

He had crushed Iron Bear and White-Haired Rat with one punch and one kick. If they did not join forces, they truly might find victory impossible.

And Young Miss had already said they could attack together, so what were they waiting for!?

Buzz buzz buzz!

In an instant, six figures flew onto the arena one after another from the first and second floors.

Among them were four Bronze Tier Fighters and two Silver Tier Generals.

The six varied in height and build, but their auras were fierce as they surrounded Ye Xuan at the center.

"Senior Brother..."

Seeing this, Xiao Tao could not help clenching her small hands, her eyes full of worry.

Ye Xuan was not only Senior Sister Wan'er's betrothed husband, but also the sect's precious treasure. If anything happened to him, she would have no way to answer for it.

"Together!"

At that moment, someone on the arena shouted sharply, and all six erupted with aura at once.

In an instant, blade light, sword radiance, fist force, Palm Prints, and all kinds of martial skills swept up a wild gale as they descended upon Ye Xuan.

Everyone below the arena could not help shaking their heads at the sight.

How terrifying was the combined attack of these six? Perhaps only Blood Butcher could withstand it.

For a moment, everyone seemed to have already seen Ye Xuan being blown apart under the siege.

Boom!

At that moment, Ye Xuan truly was swallowed by the multicolored radiance of martial skills.

It seemed he had no intention of fighting back at all!?

"Hehe, I thought he was so strong!"

"A madman will meet Heaven's reckoning!"

Everyone mocked him in succession.

"Senior Brother!"

Xiao Tao's heart jolted, and she was about to rush forward.

Crack!

But at that very moment, thunder suddenly exploded from within the mottled radiance at the center of the arena.

The crowd discovered that azure lightning arcs emerged from within, spreading outward in almost the span of a breath.

Boom!

The next moment, before everyone's stunned eyes, the martial skill radiance unleashed by the six people exploded with a thunderous blast.

Lightning arcs swept forth as sparks of fire scattered.

The suddenly surging impact was like a tidal wave, knocking back every cultivator around the arena!

Not only that, but the spectators on the second floor discovered in horror that all six people on the arena had been hurled off by the force of the impact, landing miserably on the ground!

When the smoke and dust dispersed, the battered spectators crawled up from the wreckage and only then discovered that only one person remained on the arena!

And that person was still Xuan Ye!

At that moment, Ye Xuan stood proudly on the arena with his hands behind his back, the hem of his robe slightly soiled.

One against six, and he had actually won!?

And it had been a victory without the slightest suspense!

For a time, the people beneath the arena looked at one another, their hearts already churning like stormy seas!

Xiao Tao also let out a long breath, the huge stone hanging in her heart finally dropping.

"Blood Butcher, is it?"

"Your turn!"

Before the crowd could recover from their shock, Ye Xuan had already turned toward the third floor, his voice indifferent.

Once again, he proactively challenged Blood Butcher!

Only this time, there was no longer mockery on anyone's face. Instead, they all looked toward the third-floor private room.

Because Xuan Ye truly possessed the qualifications to challenge Blood Butcher now.

"Your strength is not bad, but challenging me is a foolish decision!"

Blood Butcher walked out of the third-floor private room and looked down at Ye Xuan. His voice was cold and sinister, blood qi swirling around him, making his black armor look even more ferocious.

"You sure talk a lot?"

Yet at the center of the arena, Ye Xuan merely raised an eyebrow, still as sparing with words as ever.

"Arrogant!"

Blood Butcher was thoroughly enraged. He stomped his foot, and his entire body flew directly down onto the arena.

Buzz!

As Blood Butcher landed, dust and qi spread like a tide, and the pressure of Peak Spirit Sea Realm enveloped the entire arena.

"Blood Butcher, whichever of you wins, this young miss will reward you with twenty times the prize!"

At that moment, the red-clad girl also appeared outside the private room. Her long ponytail hung down, and her face was full of excitement.

"Rest assured, Young Miss. No one can move the Battle King's throne!"

A sharp gleam flashed through Blood Butcher's eyes. He then raised his hand and drew the blood-colored longsword at his waist, pointing it straight at Ye Xuan.

"Where is your weapon?"

"To deal with you, I need no weapon." Ye Xuan shook his head.

In truth, he did not have a weapon at all.

Hiss!

Blood Butcher was a Sword Cultivator, and his Blood Slaughter Sword was a high-grade earth-rank weapon. Yet Xuan Ye said he needed no weapon!

Hehe, he still dared be so arrogant before Blood Butcher?

Cries of alarm rose again. Everyone thought that while Xuan Ye was strong, he was simply too arrogant.

"You will regret angering me!"

Blood Butcher had endured enough. Never before in the Battle Tower had anyone dared speak to him like this!

Blood Waterfall Slaughter Slash!

In an instant, Blood Butcher's aura surged to its peak. Blood qi around his body poured into his arm and flowed into the blood sword, transforming into a blood-red Sword Qi over thirty meters long that swept horizontally toward Ye Xuan!

The moment he attacked, he used his killing move.

A barrier Magic Array also activated around the arena in an instant, preventing the residual force from injuring anyone.

"Though Blood Butcher's sword path has yet to comprehend sword intent, the power of his Sword Qi has already reached great mastery!"

"That's right. Within the Spirit Sea Realm, there are few who can defeat him!"

The Sword Cultivators present praised him. It had been a long time since they had seen Blood Butcher make a move.

But Ye Xuan moved as well.

His eyes slightly closed, lightning wandered within them before finally gathering at his fingertips.

"Slash!"

The next moment, Ye Xuan abruptly opened his eyes and swung his arm. His fingers became a sword, and the inch of lightning instantly transformed into sword radiance several meters long, carrying thunderous sound as it cleaved through the void!

"You are a Sword Cultivator too!?"

The instant Blood Butcher saw that lightning sword radiance, his heart jolted in shock.

Moreover, he discovered that Ye Xuan could turn his fingers into a sword. This level of swordsmanship clearly meant he had comprehended sword intent!

Comprehending sword intent in the early Spirit Sea Realm!?

What monstrous genius was this?

Boom!

Crack!

But Ye Xuan's Thunder Sword was too fast. Before Blood Butcher's words had even fallen, the two Sword Lights had already collided.

The scarlet sword radiance shattered with a boom the instant it made contact.

The Thunder Sword raged on, its might undiminished. Even though Blood Butcher raised his sword before him and resisted with all his strength, he was still blasted away in an instant, rolling heavily off the arena.

The remaining force of the sword intent slammed into the barrier, sending great ripples surging across it. Only after a long while did they fade away.

The entire venue fell silent, like a secluded valley.

Everyone stood dumbstruck, staring at Blood Butcher lying in a pool of blood.

At that moment, Blood Butcher's armor had shattered, and even the Blood Slaughter Sword was covered in cracks!

Blood Butcher had lost too!?

And in a single move!

For a time, everyone looked toward Xuan Ye atop the arena, horror filling their hearts.

Battle Tower's new Battle King had been born!?

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting!"

"You, come up!"

Nangong Fei, seated on the third floor, clapped and cheered. Then she told Ye Xuan to come upstairs.

Ye Xuan nodded, rose into the air, and landed on the third floor before following Nangong Fei into a private room.

"Your reward!"

The moment he entered, Nangong Fei tossed him a storage pouch.

Ye Xuan opened it and confirmed that it contained twenty bottles of Spirit Marrow Fluid. He gave a slight cupped-fist salute and prepared to leave.

"Wait. Do you want even more Spirit Marrow Fluid?"

But Nangong Fei suddenly called out to stop Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan froze at her words, then turned to look at Nangong Fei. "Is there another fight?"

"Of course. At noon ten days from now, wait for me outside the west city gate. I'll take you to fight. You're guaranteed at least a hundred bottles of Spirit Marrow Fluid!" Nangong Fei said with a smile, propping her chin on her hand.

"Sure!"

Ye Xuan nodded. Without another word, he turned and left.

"Miss, that man is truly arrogant. He showed you no respect at all," one of the maidservants beside Nangong Fei said unhappily.

"Hehe, you don't understand. This man's background is anything but ordinary." Nangong Fei merely smiled. "As long as he can make me win, that's enough!"

By the time Ye Xuan and Xiao Tao returned to the sect, night had already fallen.

Ye Xuan had wanted to check on Chu Wan'er before refining pills through the night, but the moment he entered, Chu Wan'er pounced on him and knocked him onto the bed.

"Brother Ye Xuan, my body has already recovered. Tonight... take me?"

Ye Xuan was stunned as he looked at Chu Wan'er lying atop him, her pretty face flushed red and her gaze hazy.

Chu Wan'er wanted to consummate their marriage ahead of time?

Wasn't this too sudden?
