Peak Showdown on the Earth Ranking

Ouyang Ke looked up at Bai Wanli on the rooftop. This man's heart was truly colder than ice.

But on second thought, the world was vast, and countless talents were blessed by the heavens. For Bai Wanli to stand out among those heaven-sent geniuses and sit at the head of the Earth Ranking, it was undoubtedly inseparable from this iron-and-stone heart of his.

Yu Xiaoxun had followed him—she had truly been blind as a dog!

By comparison, Jiang Feng had truly treated him, Ouyang Ke, far too well.

Before he had even done anything, Jiang Feng had given him such a profound mental cultivation method and improved his martial techniques. Such kindness was equal to remaking him from scratch!

The surrounding crowd recovered from the shock of Ouyang Ke killing Yu Xiaoxun. They knew that next would be the battle between Ouyang Ke and Bai Wanli.

Bai Wanli had to take Jiang Feng's head, while Ouyang Ke had to protect his master with everything he had.

This battle was bound to happen.

Originally, no one would have believed Ouyang Ke possessed the strength to fight Bai Wanli. But after Ouyang Ke killed that slave of two surnames, Yu Xiaoxun, everyone was stunned by his strength.

Before this, there had been distinctions between strong and weak on the Earth Ranking, but the only ones capable of killing other Earth Ranking experts had been Bai Wanli, the foremost on the Earth Ranking, and Shen Bijun, ranked second.

But today, there was one more! It was Ouyang Ke!

And so, people began comparing Ouyang Ke together with Bai Wanli and Shen Bijun.

Ouyang Ke had already, in every sense, stepped into the top tier of peak experts on the Earth Ranking.

"This battle is definitely going to be spectacular!"

"This battle practically represents a peak showdown on the Earth Ranking!"

"Even if Ouyang Ke loses, his strength can still rank third on the Earth Ranking."

"That's not necessarily true. If Ouyang Ke dies at Bai Wanli's hands, then someone else will definitely sit in the third seat on the Earth Ranking."

"How many moves do you think Ouyang Ke can last against Bai Wanli?"

"In my view, twenty moves!"

"No, although Bai Wanli is powerful, there's absolutely no way he can defeat Ouyang Ke within twenty moves. Don't forget, Ouyang Ke is also someone capable of killing Yu Xiaoxun, who was third on the Earth Ranking. I imagine the gap between him and Bai Wanli won't be too great."

"So in my view, although Bai Wanli can defeat Ouyang Ke, he may not be able to kill him. And it's even more impossible for him to take down Ouyang Ke within twenty moves."

"Let's wait and see!"

"Right, let's wait and see. The great battle is at hand; the result will naturally become clear. Too much guessing from you and me is useless."

Bai Wanli lowered his head and looked at Ouyang Ke, saying unhurriedly, "Ouyang Ke, your strength has indeed surprised me. However, you absolutely cannot be my opponent. I'll give you a chance. Follow at my side, and I won't kill you."

Once Yu Xiaoxun died, Bai Wanli no longer had even a decent helper in his hands. If this Ouyang Ke could change allegiance from under Jiang Feng's banner to his command, he would naturally be extremely willing.

Therefore, he, whose heart was like frozen ice, actually had the rare intention to spare Ouyang Ke's life.

Ouyang Ke gave a cold snort. "Do you take me for that slave of two surnames, Yu Xiaoxun?"

The meaning behind his words was extremely clear.

Bai Wanli smiled faintly. "It seems I can only kill you."

The moment he said this, Bai Wanli moved directly.

In the instant the tiles on the rooftop exploded and flew, he had already attacked to right before Ouyang Ke.

"What terrifying speed!" the crowd cried out in alarm.

"That's right. With my perfect Earth Martial Realm cultivation, I almost couldn't see it clearly!"

"This is bad. Ouyang Ke's odds are grim!" At the side, Tang Wanjing's face was full of worry. "Will Jiang Feng make a move to save him?"

"When Ouyang Ke dies in a moment, should I step forward?"

"If Jiang Feng doesn't make a move, with my serious injuries, I'm afraid I won't even be able to run."

"Sigh, I never expected that right after following Jiang Feng, I'd provoke a great pervert like Bai Wanli."

"At this point, I can only pray Ouyang Ke can hold off Bai Wanli."

At this moment, Tang Wanjing was filled with emotion, her mind deeply unsettled!

Over here, Ouyang Ke and Bai Wanli had already clashed.

"What terrifying speed. As expected of the foremost on the Earth Ranking." Ouyang Ke sighed inwardly. "Between him and me, at least in terms of speed, there's still a certain gap!"

At this moment, Ouyang Ke was still suppressing his strength to five layers, because he wanted to wait until Bai Wanli grew careless, then suddenly erupt with strange power. Ideally, he would strive to heavily injure Bai Wanli in a single blow!

"Young Master's thoughts are truly meticulous. If I had used my full strength from the very beginning in my battle with Tang Wanjing, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to create this miraculous effect."

He did not dare think too much. After all, his opponent was Bai Wanli, the foremost on the Earth Ranking. Ouyang Ke had to maintain absolute caution.

Bai Wanli still had not used a weapon up to now, attacking only with his fists and feet. However, his moves were exceptionally tricky, and the strength of his energy was even more remarkable. Every punch had to be blocked by Ouyang Ke with the heavy saber in his hand.

Even so, Ouyang Ke was still being beaten back step by step!

As the two fought, energy scattered outward, practically digging three feet into the ground.

Sand flew and stones rolled, tiles shot everywhere. The half of the street that had already been destroyed now showed not the slightest trace of urban construction.

The scattered energy turned into a wild gale, blowing until the vision of the people around them blurred.

Even the few peak Earth Martial Realm experts standing closer had no choice but to retreat.

"So strong!"

The onlookers cried out in alarm.

Among the watching crowd, those who had seen Bai Wanli make a move were few and far between.

Now, they could be considered to have had their eyes opened wide!

"Bai Wanli truly deserves to be first on the Earth Ranking!"

"Look, Ouyang Ke seems like he's about to be unable to hold on."

"Ten moves, and Ouyang Ke still hasn't lost!"

"Twenty moves, and Ouyang Ke is still struggling bitterly!"

"This Ouyang Ke really is... strong! To think he's been able to hold out against Bai Wanli until now!"

Too strong! Ouyang Ke was shocked inwardly. This Bai Wanli is too strong!

No wonder he can suppress the top of the Earth Ranking. No wonder he can kill some Heaven Martial Realm martial artists!

In terms of strength, if I went all out, perhaps the gap between us wouldn't be that great.

Wait for an opportunity. I have to endure it. Wait for an opportunity!

The more Bai Wanli fought, the fiercer he became, his expression overbearing. "Ouyang Ke, you still have a chance to regret this!"

"To receive twenty moves of my fierce assault, you're qualified for me to give you one more chance!"

"What, still unwilling?"

"Then fine. I'll send you to the west!"

Bai Wanli abruptly drew back, and a silver spear appeared in his hand. Immediately after, he attacked forward again, the spear tip aiming straight for Ouyang Ke's chest.

The offensive was exceptionally swift and ferocious, his true intent refined to the utmost subtlety, his qi force condensed into a single point!

This spear contained a power that seemed able to pierce through everything!

"What a powerful spear!"

"My heavens, who could block that spear?"

"Is that a martial skill? No, that isn't a martial skill. It's merely the manifestation of his spear true intent being used to the extreme!"

"But this power is already comparable to the enhancement of an ordinary martial skill."

"Under this spear, even if Ouyang Ke doesn't die, he'll probably be heavily injured!"

In that instant, those who could still see the battle clearly each cried out in astonishment.

Tang Wanjing's heart turned cold. There's absolutely no way Ouyang Ke can block this spear!!

Facing the spear stabbing toward him, Ouyang Ke also felt a chill of fear in his heart!

What a powerful spear!

If I rely only on my current strength, I absolutely can't block it!

I have to release all my strength!

Yes, right now!

At this moment, he's stabbing out with a full-power spear. There's no way he'll imagine that I can not only defend against it, but also counterattack.

Take him by surprise and strike him unprepared!

The corner of Bai Wanli's mouth curled into a savage grin, utterly confident!

Ouyang Ke absolutely could not block this strike!

However, a scene that shook everyone to the core occurred!

Not good! Bai Wanli, who was right in front of him, was the first to sense something was wrong—inside Ouyang Ke, a majestic power had suddenly erupted, and that surging aura pouring out was actually more than twice as strong as the aura from before!

Could it be... could it be that he was still hiding something? Bai Wanli was filled with terror.

This power is already... already on par with mine!

He... how can he be so powerful? In that instant, fear actually rose in Bai Wanli's heart.

Ouyang Ke thought—A huge opportunity!

"Unrestrained Blade!"

Ouyang Ke released one hundred percent of his strength, and immediately after, without holding anything back, he sent Unrestrained Blade chopping toward Bai Wanli's spear.

This blade would verify his true strength!
