Under the Yuanwu Tower, the eight powerful practitioners launched a full-scale attack on Li Xingyao.
But who would have thought that Li Xingyao could send them all flying with a single move?
The power of the fifth level of the True Phoenix Undying Sword Technique is terrifyingly strong!
Even Xiao Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but be moved.
He had actually anticipated that Qin Fei, Ye Feiyang, and the Supreme Dao Child weren’t a match for Li Xingyao.
However, he never expected Li Xingyao to defeat eight masters with just one sword strike.
Let’s not forget, these eight masters represented the strongest combat power among their respective sects’ younger generation!
The Divine Phoenix boasted unparalleled pride, its majestic cry echoed through the heavens.
From Li Xingyao, the blazing Divine Phoenix unleashed an unstoppable sword aura.
The flying swords of Qin Fei and Jiang Ting were instantly shredded.
They suffered immense shock and coughed up blood simultaneously.
“Junior Sister…”
Qin Fei stood in front of Jiang Ting protectively.
“Little Junior Brother…”
Jiang Ting gasped in shock.
Both of them were sent flying away.
Xiao Yang watched this scene coldly.
He could have saved Jiang Ting.
She wouldn’t have to lose her precious flying sword and have her swordsmanship half ruined.
But he didn’t intervene.
Wasn’t that dear little Junior Brother so impressive?
Let him handle it then.
Ye Feiyang, Li Fan Yin, the Supreme Dao Child, Wang Kunpeng, Chu Guixi, and Dan Yangzi all got sent flying too.
The raging True Phoenix sword aura destroyed everything in its path.
Even Wang Kunpeng, clad in the Ten Absolute Battle Armor, took heavy damage. His armor was riddled with sword marks, and nine of the ten arms extending from the armor were cleanly severed.
Qin Fei, Jiang Ting, and Ye Feiyang were the worst off. They were tossed dozens of meters away, crashing to the ground and coughing up blood continuously.
Qin Fei and Jiang Ting’s flying swords were shattered by the True Phoenix sword aura, leaving their sword skills in tatters.
This was the second time Qin Fei watched his precious flying sword being destroyed by Li Xingyao.
It drove him to the brink of despair.
“Senior Brother, you have such a cruel heart!”
Qin Fei struggled to sit up, glaring fiercely at Xiao Yang, who was simply enjoying the show.
“Seriously, how is this my fault?”
Xiao Yang grinned at Qin Fei’s misery.
“You could have saved Junior Sister! Why didn’t you? Now her flying sword is destroyed, and her skills are ruined. Aren’t you happy?!”
Qin Fei gritted his teeth.
Jiang Ting looked at Xiao Yang with sorrow in her eyes.
Xiao Yang didn’t save her, which made her heart sink.
After all, they had grown up together.
“She was reckless. She took action against Li Xingyao for your sake, and this is the result. Why should I step in to save her?”
Xiao Yang spoke without a hint of empathy.
“Senior Brother…”
Jiang Ting felt inexplicably anxious. She sensed that Xiao Yang was genuinely distancing himself from her.
She finally understood the indifference in his demeanor.
This was not a game; he truly no longer cared for her.
What was she going to do?
She never imagined Xiao Yang would abandon her.
“Little Junior Brother, your Junior Sister was only acting for you! She ended up like this because of you! You better be good to her!” Xiao Yang laughed heartily.
Had Jiang Ting not interfered, she wouldn’t have faced such a tragic fate.
She acted out of concern for Qin Fei.
In Xiao Yang’s eyes, Jiang Ting’s actions were utterly foolish.
Li Xingyao was a Half Saint, and she, a peak Heavenly Martial Realm master, dared to strike a Half Saint.
Li Xingyao had already shown mercy.
Otherwise, both Jiang Ting and Qin Fei would be dead.
“You…”
Qin Fei spat out a mouthful of blood out of anger.
At this moment, Jiang Ting didn’t even rush to check on her dear little Junior Brother first.
Instead, she looked at Xiao Yang, tears welling in her eyes.
Late expressions of affection are as cheap as grass.
Xiao Yang gazed at Jiang Ting’s wretched state, feeling not an ounce of sympathy.
Among the eight masters, the most unfortunate was Ye Feiyang.
All the fierce beasts he had subdued were slaughtered, his left arm was severed, and now even his right arm was turned into a mist of blood by the exploding True Phoenix sword aura.
When he fell to the ground, he lost consciousness instantly.
Though the Supreme Dao Child managed to block the True Phoenix sword aura, he suffered a significant impact and was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, barely standing with his sword.
If he hadn’t been holding the Supreme Sword, who knows what would have happened to him!
Wang Kunpeng, Chu Guixi, and Dan Yangzi were lucky their weapons had absorbed most of the sword aura, sustaining injuries but not as severe.
However, Wang Kunpeng’s Ten Absolute Battle Armor was now half-destroyed.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Outside the Nine Heavy Barriers, on the Immortal Platform.
The Refining Sect Leader Wang Ao almost spat blood upon seeing the scene unfold on the shimmering light curtain.
Their treasured armor, the Ten Absolute Battle Armor, was utterly wrecked?
Now, all nine sect leaders were on edge.
Only Li Fuyiao, the sword master of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, remained as calm as ever.
It seemed she had anticipated the outcome of this battle.
“Half Saint…”
“Such a remarkable Fuyiao Saintess…”
Jiang Qitian sighed.
The Guiyuan Martial Sect leader Chu Zhenbei and the Beast Control Manor master Ye Longsheng wore expressions of utter gloom.
This time, they had all invested heavily.
Especially the Beast Control Manor.
Ye Feiyang’s beast containment bag contained the majority of their fierce beasts!
And now it was all gone.
The efforts of hundreds of years for the Beast Control Manor had been rendered futile.
Those level five, six, and even a few level seven fierce beasts were not easy to subdue!
They had just lost a significant portion.
Ye Longsheng nearly went insane.
The Supreme Dao Master didn’t look too pleased either.
But the Heavenly Medical Sect leader remained more composed than the other sect leaders.
Thank goodness Ning Shu hadn’t acted; otherwise, she would be in trouble just like the rest.
And then there was Lu Fusheng from the Divine Sword Manor.
He also refrained from acting, conserving his strength.
In hindsight, both Ning Shu and Lu Fusheng were wise to hold back.
At that moment, Nie Ruhua, Hua Mengli, and the others were in shock.
Only Ling Xian’er’s face showed no emotion.
“I told you, you’re all merely second-rate chickens. How do you feel now?”
Li Xingyao’s voice rang out as the blazing divine phoenix materialized and immediately vanished into her body, as if it had never existed.
Right now, the four major mountain gates outside Yuanwu Mountain were silent as a tomb.
Countless people gathered outside the four mountain gates.
Everyone stood agape, staring at the massive light curtain in front of the gates.
The sight of Li Xingyao defeating eight masters and the divine phoenix spreading its wings was truly astonishing.
Countless spectators were left in a stunned silence.
Li Xingyao’s strength far exceeded anyone’s expectations.
Even a full-force attack from eight powerful practitioners could rarely be survivable by an average Half Saint.
Li Xingyao not only shattered their combined attacks but sent them flying.
With such power, who could rival her?
Could Xiao Yang stand against Li Xingyao?
At this moment, no one had faith in Xiao Yang.
After all, he was merely a peak Heavenly Martial Realm practitioner.
With Li Xingyao so powerful, what could Xiao Yang possibly use to fight her?
Everyone had already predicted the outcome of this Tenth Anniversary Competition.
Fuyiao Sword Sect would likely be crowned champions again.
They would dominate the Yuanwu Immortal Domain for another sixty years.
However, nobody realized Xiao Yang had been hiding his strength all along.
He had been playing the fool while waiting to surprise everyone.
No one knew his hidden cards.
But Xiao Yang had already figured out much about Li Xingyao’s abilities.
The sword in Li Xingyao’s hand was the Fuyiao Sword, one of the three divine swords of the northern region.
Moreover, she had cultivated the True Phoenix Undying Sword Technique to its fifth level.
These are just some of Li Xingyao’s hidden cards.
Of course, Li Xingyao’s cards were certainly not limited to just those.
At this moment, she slowly raised her Fuyiao Sword, pointing it at Xiao Yang.
Everyone behind Xiao Yang hastily retreated in fear.
Just then, Li Xingyao’s name appeared on the Yuanwu Tower.
She had made the list.
This was the Yuanwu Ranking.
Li Xingyao had defeated eight masters and earned the acknowledgment of the Immortal Path Will of the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.
“Haha… Fuyiao Sword Sect has it in the bag.”
At this moment, the disciples of the Fuyiao Sword Sect at the foot of Yuanwu Mountain were ecstatic beyond words.
In fact, the requirements to get on the rankings were quite simple: anyone who reached the Yuanwu Tower and defeated just one opponent could make it to the Yuanwu Ranking.
Just moments ago, with that one strike, Li Xingyao had already eliminated the eight masters.
However, among those present, Xiao Yang, Ling Xian’er, Nie Ruhua, Hua Mengli, and her younger sisters had yet to take action.
This time, the northern region’s top ten sects were about to be reshuffled.
No one expected the Heguan Sect and the Carefree Palace to come this far.
Ye Longsheng’s face was grim.
With both arms lost, how could Ye Feiyang compete with anyone from the Heguan Sect or Carefree Palace?
This time, the Beast Control Manor was thoroughly betrayed by Guiyuan Martial Sect.
“Chu Zhenbei, you owe me an explanation!”
Ye Longsheng glared at the Guiyuan Martial Sect leader Chu Zhenbei, teeth clenched.
The Beast Control Manor had allied with the Guiyuan Martial Sect, and Ye Feiyang and Chu Guixi were supposed to support each other. But to his shock, Chu Guixi merely watched as Ye Feiyang was injured without helping.
It infuriated Ye Longsheng.
Chu Zhenbei remained silent.
The current situation was not favorable for Guiyuan Martial Sect either.
Though Chu Guixi held the Xuanwu Seal, the Supreme Dao Child, Lu Fusheng, Wang Kunpeng, and others were no pushovers either.
Not to mention Xiao Yang.
Thirteen sect inheritors had now reached the base of Yuanwu Tower.
Given the current circumstances, Ye Feiyang was already out of the game.
For the Beast Control Manor to maintain a position in the northern top ten, seemed impossible.
At this moment, Ye Feiyang slowly regained consciousness. When he noticed his two missing arms, he was stunned into silence.
“Dingling…”
Just then, a clear bell rang out.
Everyone was taken by surprise.
Someone stepped out from the Ninth Barrier.
“Hey, isn’t this my cousin Ye Feiyang? What happened to you?”
The newcomer hopped over to Ye Feiyang, looking utterly shocked.
“This…”
Everyone was astounded.
At a moment like this, someone managed to pass the trials?
Xiao Yang couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing the newcomer.
What a turnaround!
Ye Longsheng from the Beast Control Manor had almost lost hope, but who would’ve thought she would show up!
