On the battle platform, the Gale howled and flames soared.
The Gale was like a Golden-Winged Great Peng, swooping down towards Ye Xuan.
Just as he approached Ye Xuan, he opened his mouth and spat out.
With a whoosh, a fire dragon shot out, radiating intense heat, and hurtled towards Ye Xuan.
Upon seeing this, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.
"Such powerful fire magic! This Gale didn't even use its full strength earlier?"
"I didn't expect Gale to have been hiding his strength. That Mad Saber is in danger."
"Hmph, who told him to be so self-aware? Gale already gave him a chance to draw his sword, but he didn't seize it. Now, even if he wanted to draw his sword, it's too late."
Seeing this scene, many cultivators in the audience couldn't help but shrink their pupils and let out gloating sounds.
The previously languid, reclining Devil Moon suddenly straightened her back, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Xuan without blinking.
She wanted to know how Ye Xuan would withstand the Gale's divine power, and whether this Mad Saber was truly her master.
Xiao Hanyi also looked at the battle stage, her expression becoming slightly more serious.
The beautiful woman, though also watching the battle arena, didn't seem to take it too seriously.
"Playing with fire?"
Ye Xuan couldn't help but laugh as he watched the roaring fire dragon hurtling towards him.
He did not use any supernatural powers, nor did he unleash the True Solar Fire.
He pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed fiercely at the fire dragon.
Buzz!
A Sword Qi suddenly shot out and instantly landed on the fire dragon.
With a loud bang, the fire dragon was shattered by the Sword Qi, turning into specks of light and dissipating.
Ye Xuan slammed his foot heavily onto the battle platform, and with a loud bang, he shot out like a god.
Upon witnessing this scene, Gale's expression changed slightly.
His Spiritual Qi surged wildly, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng that had Spirit Transformation suddenly flapped its wings, its figure moving like lightning as it swiftly retreated backward.
As a fire-elemental cultivator, he was naturally extremely skilled in speed, and he didn't believe that Ye Xuan was faster than him.
As long as Ye Xuan cannot catch up with him, he will be invincible.
However, his expression quickly changed.
Because Ye Xuan's speed was much faster than his.
Even though he had tried his best to retreat, Ye Xuan had already closed in on him in the blink of an eye.
"Roll!"
A roar came from Gale's mouth, and his right fist clenched instantly.
Flames swirled around his entire right arm, making him look like a god of fire.
boom!
The fist, brimming with scorching flames, slammed down towards Ye Xuan, creating a hissing sound in the air.
Clearly, he intended to force Ye Xuan to back down through this method.
However, Ye Xuan did not dodge or evade at all.
A wicked smile crept across his lips, and in the next instant, his right hand suddenly lashed out, grabbing at Gale's fiery fist.
"Is he... is he courting death?"
"How dare he?"
Seeing this, countless cultivators at the scene paled once again.
At that very moment, Ye Xuan's large hand precisely grasped Gale's fiery fist.
The scorching heat burned his palms, but it had absolutely no effect on him.
You lost.
Ye Xuan's calm voice rang out, and then he suddenly swung his right hand up and slammed it down hard.
boom!
Gale was completely knocked to the ground, the flames on his body disappeared, and the entire battle platform trembled.
"Pfft."
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and in an instant he had suffered extremely serious injuries. His face turned deathly pale at a visible speed.
Ye Xuan did not continue his attack, but instead gracefully landed on the battle platform, saying calmly, "You should be grateful that you are still alive."
Gale's expression changed, and a sense of humiliation welled up inside him.
He won ten matches in a row today, even defeating two Half-Emperor Rankings experts in succession. What glory and honor this is!
But with this defeat, all his glory and honor vanished.
It turned out to be a wedding dress made for Ye Xuan, fulfilling Ye Xuan.
The entire scene was deathly silent.
A moment later, a deafening roar of screams erupted.
" Gale! Gale!"
" The Gale is mighty, the Gale will surely prevail!"
" Gale is so cool, I love you to death."
Ye Xuan's reputation was instantly propelled to another peak, making him the center of attention for a time.
Seeing this, Devil Moon finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood up abruptly.
She lightly covered her exposed breasts with one slender hand, her chest heaving, her heart in turmoil.
Although she still couldn't tell that Ye Xuan had used any martial arts techniques she had ever seen before.
But her intuition told her that this person was Ye Xuan.
"Is it really him? Should we ask him telepathically?"
Devil Moon murmured to herself, her gaze towards Ye Xuan filled with admiration.
In this world, strong people are always worthy of admiration.
Which woman doesn't yearn for love? Which woman doesn't hope her Daoist partner is a person of extraordinary talent and brilliance?
Although Devil Moon is of noble status, she is still a woman after all, and she also admires and reveres the strong.
Especially among her contemporaries, those stronger than her.
After hesitating for a long time, Devil Moon still didn't dare to contact Ye Xuan Ye Xuan. Instead, she started to worry about him.
If this Mad Saber really is Ye Xuan, then there might be danger.
His sweeping victory on the Half-Emperor Rankings was tantamount to humiliating the three major powers; how could they possibly let it go unpunished?
Just then, a maid from the Half-Emperor Pavilion strode in.
The maid quickly approached Devil Moon, bowed, and said, "Greetings Fairy Devil Moon."
Devil Moon glanced at the maid, quickly regaining her composure, and said calmly, "What is it?"
The maid said, "The master has ordered you to prepare for battle."
Devil Moon was taken aback. "You want me to prepare for battle? Why is that? Isn't that against the rules?"
The maid said, "This servant doesn't know either. I only know that this was the intention of a very important person in the Xiao Clan. That senior gave the order."
"A powerful figure from the Xiao Clan?" Devil Moon's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure. "Very well, I understand. You may leave."
The maid nodded, bowed, and withdrew.
At the same moment, a hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Hanyi's eyes as she looked at Ye Xuan.
He looked at the beautiful woman and said, "Immediately send a message to the three major powers, instructing me to investigate all information about this person. I suspect he is the one who killed Xiao Sheng."
The beautiful woman was startled upon hearing this. "This... this can't be!"
But she only asked that question reflexively and didn't dare to ask any more.
Instead, he suppressed his shock and quickly sent messages to the three major powers.
If this person is indeed that madman, then today, the Half-Emperor Pavilion is going to be quite a spectacle.
She couldn't understand it. If Ye Xuan really was the one who killed Xiao Sheng, where did he get the audacity to appear in a public place like the Half-Emperor Pavilion?
On the battle platform, Ye Xuan stood proudly, listening to the screams and adoration from the cultivators in the audience below, truly the center of attention.
He wore a bright smile, but his heart remained calm and undisturbed as he quietly awaited his next opponent.
In his view, there was nothing to be proud of or boastful about in defeating the Gale.
Even if he defeats Wu Qingyang, who is ranked number one, he will not feel the slightest bit proud.
"Congratulations to Mad Saber for successfully defeating Gale; your ranking on the Half-Emperor Rankings has risen to ninetieth."
"Given Mad Saber Blade's exceptional talent and formidable strength, our Half-Emperor Pavilion will make an exception and change the rules."
"Next, we will arrange for the Demon Emperor, ranked twentieth on the Half-Emperor Rankings, to fight against Mad Saber."
The powerful figure who was in charge of the event quickly arrived on the battle platform and announced in a loud voice.
"What? The Demon Emperor versus Mad Saber? That's inappropriate!"
" The Half-Emperor Pavilion actually changed the rules for Mad Saber? How is that possible? This is probably the first time in countless years!"
" Mad Saber is only ranked 90th right now. Even if we don't follow the rules, he shouldn't jump so much all at once, right? What if his strength becomes unbalanced and he falls?"
Upon hearing the host's words, the scene instantly descended into chaos, creating a huge uproar.
Ye Xuan was also slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and didn't pay too much attention to it.
Just then, the powerful figure who was in charge smiled at Ye Xuan and said, " Mad Saber, do you have any objections?"
Ye Xuan shook his head, about to say no.
But at that moment, he received a telepathic message from Devil Moon.
"Master, hurry! I just received news that a powerful figure from the Xiao Clan has arrived at the Half-Emperor Pavilion and is already targeting you."
"He's investigating you right now, and if he can't find out your identity, you'll be in great danger."
Devil Moon's voice was urgent and flustered, clearly indicating that she was genuinely worried.
