Inside the room.
The captured woman had disappeared.
Ten cultivators stood before Xue Zhaohai.
These ten cultivators, the lowest in cultivation level, were at the Peak Divine King Realm, and two of them had even reached the Divine Emperor Realm.
They were all powerful individuals secretly cultivated by the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association.
At least, no one here is weaker than Lin Wu.
At this moment, the ten men stood before Xue Zhaohai, heads bowed, respectful and deferential.
Xue Zhaohai's gaze slowly swept over the ten people, finally settling on a powerful expert at the Peak Divine Emperor Realm Third Layer.
He said in a deep voice, " Zhao Tong, do you understand what I mean? As soon as that guy is defeated, find a way to rescue him immediately and bring him here to me."
"If he defeats Lin Wu, then you should take action, defeat this man, and bring him here."
"In short, no matter what, we absolutely cannot let him perish, and we absolutely cannot let him escape, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the Divine Emperor known as Zhao Tong immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Your subordinate understands."
"Good, very good." Xue Zhaohai nodded in satisfaction. "You may leave now."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tong and the others did not hesitate any longer and quickly left the room.
As Xue Zhaohai watched the group leave, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, and his eyes blazed with fervor.
Lightning-based divine abilities... finally, they're going to be in his hands.
If he weren't concerned about the negative impact on the business if he acted in front of everyone, he probably would have taken matters into his own hands long ago.
Of course, although this wastes some effort, it doesn't matter.
In any case, once it's confirmed that Ye Xuan possesses lightning-based divine abilities, then Ye Xuan definitely won't be able to escape.
On the platform for exchanging ideas.
Lin Wu unleashed a killing intent as he charged toward Ye Xuan.
He stared intently at Ye Xuan, his eyes cold and his entire being radiating undisguised killing intent.
How dare a mere ant be so presumptuous in front of him, showing no fear whatsoever.
If he didn't cripple Ye Xuan and then trample him underfoot, he wouldn't be Lin Wu.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Wu had already closed in on Ye Xuan.
His long sword tore a fiery red arc through the air, and in the next moment, it was already slashing down at Ye Xuan's head.
" The Soul-Severing Saber? Lin Wu actually used the Soul-Severing Saber in his very first move?"
"This Soul-Severing Saber is a Earth Grade Middle Rank martial skill, extremely powerful, and also Lin Wu's signature blade technique. It's truly unexpected that he would unleash this Soul-Severing Saber in his very first move."
"It seems Lin Wu is truly determined to kill; otherwise, he would never have gone to such lengths."
Seeing Lin Wu unleash his blade and feeling the terrifying power it contained, the scene erupted in uproar once again.
Countless cultivators couldn't help but widen their eyes, their breathing quickened, and their hearts nearly stopped.
Ye Xuan looked at Lin Wu's longsword as it slashed towards him, sensing the killing intent contained within it, and suddenly smiled, "Sword cultivator? Sword technique? Perfect, I also know a sword technique, now I'll use you to test my skills."
The moment he spoke, a long sword appeared in Ye Xuan's hand.
The longsword wasn't of a very high grade, but it was extremely easy to use.
Having killed so many people and amassed countless resources, Ye Xuan naturally had no shortage of weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.
Of course, for him, the type of weapon used was no longer important.
Unless he is facing a powerful opponent whose cultivation level is significantly higher than his, the weapon will not be a major limitation for him.
As for the weak, like Lin Wu, it doesn't matter what weapon he uses.
" Blazing Flame Mad Saber!"
The moment Ye Xuan grasped the longsword, he let out a low cry.
The next moment, a barrage of sword energy swept outwards, and a fiery red sword beam shot out.
With a loud bang, the two blade beams collided in mid-air, and Ye Xuan's blade beam shattered instantly.
Upon seeing this, the crowd below couldn't help but gasp in surprise, somewhat disappointed but not entirely unexpected.
Lin Wu's sword strike remained undiminished in power, and he once again slammed down towards Ye Xuan.
"You mere ant, how dare you humiliate me, Lin Wu! You will pay the price!"
Seeing this, Lin Wu breathed a slight sigh of relief, and his gaze towards Ye Xuan was filled with disdain and killing intent.
He had originally thought Ye Xuan was incredibly powerful, but he never expected Ye Xuan to be so weak, unable to even withstand a single strike from him.
In his view, this one strike was enough to severely injure, or even kill, Ye Xuan.
"Ugh, trash."
Ye Xuan couldn't help but curse inwardly.
He wasn't cursing Lin Wu, but rather the Lin Clan's martial arts technique.
Black Grade martial skill is Black Grade martial skill, even if he uses it, it's still the same.
The Fiery Blade of the Lin family in the Eastern Wilderness was not able to unleash Ye Xuan's full strength at all; no, it didn't even unleash one percent of its power.
It's no exaggeration to say that even a casual strike from Ye Xuan would likely be no less powerful than a Xuan-grade martial skill.
As Ye Xuan thought this to himself, he realized for the first time the limitations that low-grade martial arts techniques placed on him.
Of course, his hands moved swiftly, without even retreating. Instead, he stepped forward and unleashed three more slashes.
" Triple Slash!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
Accompanied by the sound, three powerful and domineering fiery red blade beams instantly swept across the arena, reflecting a dazzling blade aura, and hurtled towards Lin Wu.
A snap.
Before the three strikes could even land on Lin Wu's blade, Ye Xuan's longsword shattered instantly, unable to withstand the explosive force.
Ye Xuan was also speechless, feeling utterly dumbfounded. What rubbish swordsmanship, what a rubbish sword!
Boom boom boom!
At the same time, the three blade beams landed on Lin Wu's blade beam almost simultaneously, one after the other.
Lin Wu's blade light was instantly shattered.
"A trivial skill!"
However, Lin Wu was not afraid either. He laughed disdainfully and swung his blood-red longsword three more times.
The three incoming blade beams had already been shattered.
Lin Wu took a step forward and landed two meters away from Ye Xuan.
"You dare call yourself a swordsman, dare to challenge me to a sword duel?"
He stared at Ye Xuan with disdain, his tone full of sarcasm.
The scene erupted in uproar once again, with shock appearing in everyone's eyes.
"This Lin Wu is truly getting stronger and stronger."
"That guy is no match for Lin Wu. No, he's not only no match for Lin Wu, he's far inferior. He couldn't even withstand a single strike. It seems he's doomed!"
"Hmph, he dares to be arrogant despite having no strength. He deserves it; he only has himself to blame."
A series of piercing sounds rang out, and many cultivators had already given up all hope that Ye Xuan could defeat Lin Wu.
Ye Xuan unleashed four strikes in total, barely managing to block Lin Wu's first strike. Now, even his blade was shattered; how could he possibly fight back?
Ye Xuan was also somewhat speechless.
Damn it.
How embarrassing!
However, he was too lazy to argue with Lin Wu. He channeled his Spiritual Qi and unleashed the Wandering Dragon Steps.
With a whoosh, they had instantly closed in on Lin Wu.
Lin Wu was horrified the moment he witnessed this.
How did this good-for-nothing suddenly become so strong?
This speed is simply incredible!
However, he hadn't come to his senses at all.
He only felt a sharp pain in his dantian, followed by a muffled thud.
Then, he flew backwards with a blank expression, and when he hit the ground, his body was already a bloody mess.
The audience was stunned by what they saw; most of them were completely bewildered as to what had just happened.
