"Bang!"
The saber in Xu Taiping's hand clashed with Ye Xuan's sword once again.
The clang of their blades colliding, along with the whistle of sword Qi and blade Qi slicing through the air, echoed across the Sword-Suppressing Sword Platform.
This time, however, the saber in Xu Taiping's hand snapped with a crack.
Although Ye Xuan's sword was also forged from black iron, its iron was clearly superior to that of Xu Taiping's saber, so it was no surprise that it could cut through his blade.
And Xu Taiping had clearly anticipated this long ago.
The instant his saber broke, he hurled his left fist at Ye Xuan with Ox Horn Crashes the Mountain, accompanied by a thunderous boom.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan made no attempt to block. Instead, the corners of his mouth lifted, and he let Xu Taiping's fist fall.
"Bang!"
Just as Xu Taiping's fist was about to break through the protective gang Qi surrounding Ye Xuan.
Everyone saw a mass of roaring flames erupt around Ye Xuan with a boom, blocking Xu Taiping's punch while also enveloping Xu Taiping's entire body.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Taiping became a human torch.
"The Dragon Flame Art?!"
Zhao Linglong could not help crying out at the sight.
If she had seen correctly, the blazing gang Qi that had just surged out around Ye Xuan should have come from the Dragon Flame Art, one of the Azure Profound Sect's three great Qi Refining Methods.
"At the last Seven Peaks Grand Competition, what they obtained was the Dragon Flame Art. Once its first level reaches great completion, it gains the protective power we just saw."
Qingxiao nodded gravely.
He was not actually surprised that Ye Xuan had cultivated the Dragon Flame Art's first level to great completion.
