However, just as Du Shan's finger was about to land on Ye Xuan's throat, his movements suddenly froze.
An unprecedented look of fear flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's eyes, which had been dull and lifeless, brightened.
Before his fingers even touched Ye Xuan's throat, two slender white fingers had already landed on his throat.
"You, you..." Du Shan was shocked and a sense of fear suddenly exploded from the bottom of his heart, and he felt a chill run through his body.
"You think you can kill me?" Ye Xuan said with a smile, and as he spoke, a burst of brilliant Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted from his fingertips.
The next moment, with a snap, Du Shan's neck was broken, his head slumped down instantly, and he fell silent.
Even until his death, he never understood how Ye Xuan escaped his illusion.
As for the soul, it didn't even have time to overflow before it was burned to ashes by the True Solar Fire from Ye Xuan's fingertips.
"Hiss, this, this..."
" Mad Saber is alright, he's still alive?"
" Du Shan is dead? This plot twist happened way too fast!"
The cultivators watching the battle were all completely bewildered and confused by what they saw.
It took a long while before I realized what was happening.
"Match 10, Mad Saber wins. Congratulations to Mad Saber for achieving a ten-game winning streak and qualifying to challenge Half-Emperor Rankings expert."
The alluring woman hosting the event soon appeared, her face flushed, and she uttered seductive sounds.
" Mad Saber, Mad Saber."
"Impressive, truly incredible! By the way, how exactly did he escape the Du Shan Illusion?"
"Today, two people actually achieved ten consecutive victories, earning the qualification to challenge the Half-Emperor Rankings experts. No, I must go and see."
As the alluring woman's voice faded, a deafening roar erupted once more from the crowd.
The spectators were excitedly talking and rushed towards the ticket booth.
That was so exciting! So amazing!
Within a year, two people achieved a ten-game winning streak, earning the qualification to challenge the Half-Emperor Rankings experts—something that had never happened before.
"Awesome! I want to buy a ticket too! I want to go see it!" Zhang Yuan, standing in the crowd, clenched his fists, incredibly excited.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he had successfully completed the challenge.
The alluring woman took a few quick breaths before walking up to Ye Xuan.
Her eyes were filled with admiration, her pretty face flushed red to the roots of her ears, and she said with slight excitement:
"Senior Mad Saber, you have already qualified to challenge the experts on the Half-Emperor Rankings. You need to change battlefields. Please follow me."
With that, she began to lead the way.
Her hips swayed, extremely seductive.
Ye Xuan glanced at her, smiled slightly, and followed behind.
The two had only taken a few steps when the alluring woman took to the air, flew out of the battlefield, and headed towards a large gate ahead.
Ye Xuan followed closely behind.
Inside the room, Xiao Hanyi looked at Ye Xuan with a furrowed brow.
He was horrified to discover that he couldn't see through Ye Xuan's cultivation level.
He seemed to be at the Saint Realm, or perhaps Half-Emperor, but he couldn't quite sense his exact cultivation level.
Xiao Hanyi was deeply shaken. He was a Peak Emperor Realm expert, with one foot already in the Great Emperor Realm.
It is no exaggeration to say that in his eyes, even a half-emperor level cultivator, even one at the Peak Half-Emperor- Half-Emperor Realm, is nothing more than an ant among ants.
There was absolutely no way he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level.
Just like that Gale before, although he was also very strong, he still saw through his cultivation level at a glance.
"Something's not right. This kid is strange, very strange. Has he cultivated some kind of supernatural ability to conceal his aura and cultivation level, or is there something wrong with the cultivation technique he's practicing?"
Xiao Hanyi frowned in thought, then suddenly looked at the beautiful woman and asked, "Have you heard of this person? And can you sense his cultivation level?"
The beautiful woman glanced at Ye Xuan as he left, somewhat speechless, but a smile graced her plump, pretty face.
" Mad Saber? That must be an alias; I've never heard of him. As for his cultivation level, he's naturally at the Peak Half-Emperor. Could it be that Senior Xiao couldn't sense it?"
In the beautiful woman's eyes, Xiao Hanyi's question was utter nonsense.
This is the Half-Emperor Pavilion, and the challenge is based on the Half-Emperor Rankings. Since Mad Saber has come to challenge it, if he's not Half-Emperor, then is Emperor Realm?
You should know that there are magical artifacts outside that can detect cultivation levels. Once a cultivator who has surpassed the level of Half-Emperor comes to challenge you, they will be detected.
Even a powerful figure like Xiao Hanyi is no exception.
Xiao Hanyi frowned, " Half-Emperor, are you sure?"
The beautiful woman nodded. "Of course I'm sure."
Xiao Hanyi's eyes flickered, and she asked no more questions.
A moment later, he stood up. "It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting little fellow. I'll go take a look too."
The beautiful woman was speechless, but since Xiao Hanyi had already said so, she naturally didn't dare to refute him, so she quickly got up and followed behind.
Led by the alluring female cultivator, Ye Xuan was quickly taken to a luxurious room.
Inside the room were delicious fruits and snacks, while outside were the viewing area and an enormous battle platform.
The alluring female cultivator swayed her hips and gracefully walked to Ye Xuan, holding a spatial ring in her fair hands.
She curtsied to Ye Xuan, then parted her lips slightly and said respectfully, "Senior, this is your reward. You will need to wait here for a while before you can participate in the next challenge."
