Blade Maniac

Two trillion Military Merit could be exchanged directly for 200 million Hunyuan Units! It was enough to make even a King Rank Immortal wince! That was why it was usually Marquis Immortals who exchanged for it, with only a tiny handful of Immortal Military Lords—those who had fought for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years—able to accumulate such a vast amount of Military Merit!

So Ye Muxuan already knew the dozens of powerful fighters gathered here. Naturally, they also knew of this famed lone warrior of the Third Battlefield!

Muxuan, nicknamed "Wind Blade"! He cultivated the Extreme Wind Secret Canon and was one of the three most fearsome among the billions of World Lords in the Third Battlefield's hundred Barracks Bases!

"Wind Blade" Muxuan had a record of earning Military Merit by killing an Alien Race Immortal alone! Even if it had only been a Military Lord Immortal! Even if it had only been a low-level Military Lord Immortal! He was also one of only two World Lords among the Third Battlefield's three strongest World Lord-level fighters with a record of killing an Alien Race Immortal alone. The other was the burly man who had just spoken!

Unlike the World Lords who relied on Immortal-level Auxiliary Lifeforms to kill Alien Race Immortals, and unlike those who had help from Immortal teammates, these two had killed Alien Race Immortals head-on through their own strength! The Secret Techniques they had created were famous even among Immortal Deities!

"Muxuan!"

A crisp voice rang out. Ye Muxuan turned his head. Not far away, a slender figure in blue-green armor sat among the crowd, standing out like a crane among chickens. When she saw Ye Muxuan turn to look, she raised her brows smugly!

"Rain Sword... Kong Yan." Ye Muxuan's murmur was barely audible. His eyes lowered, his face calm. He walked over to the burly man, picked up the bottle on the table, and drained it in one gulp!

The burly man stared dumbfounded at Ye Muxuan's action, forgetting even to feel the sting of losing his bottle of fine wine, worth ten Hunyuan Units!

He had known the man for at least seventy thousand years, and had never seen him drink—not to mention drink so heartily!

There were three World Lords in the Third Battlefield who stood at the summit among billions of World Lords. Even Immortal Deities had to take them seriously!

"Wind Blade" Muxuan!

"Rain Sword" Kong Yan!

"Thunderbolt Spear" Zhendan!

"Wind Blade" Muxuan and "Thunderbolt Spear" Zhendan were both Fighters, and both had killed Alien Race Immortals head-on! They might have been the weakest kind of Immortal, but they were still Immortals! "Rain Sword" Kong Yan was a Spirit Controller. Though her direct offensive strength might have been slightly inferior, not a single Alien Race Immortal she had trapped had ever escaped!

That was why rumors had long circulated among the many powerful fighters of the Third Battlefield that a super expert stood behind "Rain Sword" Kong Yan!

Of course, those rumors were just rumors. There were also claims that a Kingdom Lord stood behind "Wind Blade" Muxuan. Ye Muxuan had never seen one, had he?

"Wind Blade!" A blue figure took one stride from more than ten kilometers away and landed before Ye Muxuan. Beneath his proudly raised horn, his keen eyes, sharp as blades, fixed on Ye Muxuan. In a low voice, he said, "Let's have another round!"

"Blade Maniac! Li Zheng!"

"What's that Madman doing here?"

"Does he have a grudge against Wind Blade?"

"..."

The moment the World Lord in blue battle armor spoke, the dozens of people present recognized him. He was a renowned figure from the Second Battlefield! Li Zheng, nicknamed "Blade Maniac," was a genius World Lord of the Blade Race, a super World Lord who had escaped an Alien Race Immortal Deity a thousand years ago!

Even the weakest Immortal had a hundred times the basic strength of a Peak World Lord! And Immortal Divine Power and a World Lord's World Force were on entirely different levels! An Immortal Deity could normally kill a Peak World Lord in a single strike!

The fact that "Blade Maniac" Li Zheng had escaped an Alien Race Immortal Deity a thousand years ago meant that even then, his strength had been close to that of an Immortal!

"In a fight to the death, you're no match for me!" Ye Muxuan set down the wine bottle and exhaled. His gaze first swept over the burly man beside him—"Thunderbolt Spear" Zhendan—then turned to "Blade Maniac" Li Zheng. His voice was calm.

Seven years ago, he had obtained a Top-tier Heavy Treasure. After comprehending its first Secret Pattern, his soul's defensive ability had greatly increased. Since he was already a Fighter, that had filled in his only weakness. None of the World Lords present could match him now—not even "Thunderbolt Spear," who was as famous as he was! Then, because of that Incomplete Entity, the speed at which he comprehended the laws had increased dozens of times over. He could not quite kill his seven-years-younger self in an instant, but the extent of his overall improvement was still beyond anyone else's imagination!

If not for his place in the Initial Universe—and, more importantly, the five differently colored specks of light in his Internal World—he could already have tried to break through to Immortality!

And "Blade Maniac" Li Zheng, who had lost to him a thousand years ago, would probably not even last until Ye Muxuan's second strike if he had not improved fast enough!

Li Zheng's gaze suddenly sharpened like a blade!

As someone called "Blade Maniac," his single-minded pursuit of martial arts was beyond what ordinary people could understand! And "Wind Blade" Muxuan was also a Fighter, as well as a master of the blade who cultivated the Extreme Wind Secret Canon. Naturally, he was one of Li Zheng's targets!

Especially since neither of them had gone to the Initial Universe yet, and their foundations were currently the same: both were Peak World Lords!

After escaping an Immortal's clutches a thousand years ago, Li Zheng had believed that only World Lords from the Core Layer of the Five Great Powers could possibly surpass him. At that time, "Wind Blade" Muxuan was already famous across several neighboring battlefields. As he was not a Core Member of any of the Five Great Powers, but merely a freelance cultivator, Li Zheng had naturally made him a target for a challenge!

Unfortunately, he had suffered a crushing defeat that time! But this time...

Li Zheng reached out, revealing an oddly shaped piece of pale blue metal in his palm. Though it was only the size of his hand, the dozens of World Lords present—and even the Immortal Deities—regarded it with solemn expressions!

"This piece of Wind Jade Gold weighs 1.6 tons. It's one of the favorite weapon materials of Immortals who have mastered the Origin Law of Wind. It's worth 300,000 Hunyuan Units! Wind Blade, I'll wager this Wind Jade Gold on another match with you. What do you say? If you win, it's yours!"

Three hundred thousand Hunyuan Units!

That was practically the entire fortune of an Ordinary Immortal Deity—one with a bit of wealth, at that! An Ordinary Immortal Deity was usually worth only 10,000 Hunyuan Units!

Even Ye Muxuan's eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of the Wind Jade Gold.

"I told you, you're no match for me." Ye Muxuan's gaze moved from the Wind Jade Gold to Li Zheng's face. His features were resolute, and his eyes were as sharp as blades.
