The endless fiery energy surged into the Lingxi Sword, and instantly, this extraordinary Divine Weapon emitted a stunning brilliance. The Blade hummed, with floating characters surrounding the sword body, and the power contained within it continuously manifested, creating an overwhelming aura. Truly worthy of being crafted by the Divine Craftsman Ou Yezi!
At that moment, Peng Yue held the Divine Weapon, his expression arrogant as he couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Ye Yang, your time of death has come. No one in this world can stop me from taking your life!"
Ye Yang chuckled lightly and remained silent, standing majestically in mid-air. His azure cloak billowed behind him, and his entire presence was restrained yet unfathomable.
However, the onlookers below were all astonished.
"My goodness, that Peng Yue is incredibly bold to actually seize the Lingxi Sword. Does he think there is no one left in Yan Kingdom?"
"That's right, there truly is no one in Yan Kingdom who can stand against Peng Yue anymore..."
"Ye Yang is finished. With Peng Yue wielding the Lingxi Sword, is there anyone in this world who can resist him? Ye Yang is a Fire God Warrior, and so is Peng Yue; they are equally matched..."
Faced with Peng Yue's aggressive demeanor, Ye Yang's smile only grew wider. He floated down and quietly stood before Peng Cheng, casting a glance and saying, "Peng Cheng, you killed Cao Family Uncle Cao Ying in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range and framed me for it. You also harmed my Second Uncle Ye Beichi and kidnapped Peng Yue'er, turning the Fire God Clan upside down. These are all facts, right?"
Peng Cheng straightened his body and slowly moved his arm to break free from the Concentration Attack's grip. He shouted fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense! If you have guts, don't use Concentration. Take my attack; do you have the courage for that?"
Ye Yang nodded, "Bring it on. But I must tell you that if I get the chance, I will not hesitate to kill you!"
"Ha!"
Peng Cheng's face suddenly twisted into a grimace as he laughed maniacally, "Come and take your life! I am the master of the Fire God Clan; Peng Yue'er is my woman and destined to be under me. Ye Yang, you can't change anything!"
As he spoke, dark blue energy swirled around his long sword. Peng Cheng suddenly vanished and reappeared behind Ye Yang in an instant. The long sword pierced toward Ye Yang's back with Evil Energy while dark red wind blade energy silently rose from the ground to bind Ye Yang's feet. Clearly, this was a calculated strike from Peng Cheng; he knew he was no match for Ye Yang and could only rely on a cunning attack to kill him.
Suddenly, Ye Yang turned around. With lightning speed, he extended his left hand to grasp the Ling Kong technique and firmly seized Peng Cheng's sword hilt with fingers like iron claws. His eyes burned with fury as he growled, "Stubborn fool! Today I'll send you down to meet Peng Feng!"
"Clang!"
With a surge of power, Ye Yang's five fingers unexpectedly broke Peng Cheng's Blade, and in the next moment, Ye Yang's right hand violently pierced through Peng Cheng's chest!
"Thud!"
Blood splattered everywhere. As a Starry Sky Expert, Peng Cheng widened his eyes, filled with despair and shock. Looking down, he realized Ye Yang's hand had penetrated his chest, blood gushing out. His Starlit Armor appeared incredibly fragile, unable to withstand Ye Yang's powerful strike!
"Go and atone for your sins in peace!"
Ye Yang lifted his boot and fiercely kicked Peng Cheng in the chest. Instantly, Peng Cheng, holding a half-broken Iron Sword, clutched his chest and staggered backward, his eyes filled with blood-red fury. He stepped onto the edge of the platform and finally fell to the ground, rolling down the steps, having already lost his breath before reaching halfway.
At last, a major traitor within the Fire God Clan, once a Heroic National Talent and pride of the Fire God Clan, died in a foreign land.
……
Ye Yang killed Peng Cheng in front of Peng Yue, which was akin to delivering a heavy slap to Peng Yue's face. He looked up at the airborne Peng Yue and calmly said, "Come on, it's time for a decisive battle. Even if you have the Lingxi Sword, I won't fear you!"
"You little brat from Heavenly Kill!" Peng Yue's eyes were filled with rage as he trembled all over. He shouted, "Peng Cheng was my only relative; how dare you kill him! I, Peng Yue, vow to slay you today, to wash away the Fire God Clan and Ye Family with blood, and march into Linzi County City to massacre for three days!"
Ye Yang smirked slightly: "Beast! For one person's crime, why destroy an entire city? If you have hatred, come at me directly!"
"Drink!"
Peng Yue roared as he charged forward with earth-shattering momentum. The blade of the Lingxi Sword whistled as it unleashed a long Flame Sword aura that struck directly at Ye Yang on the platform.
"Come on then!"
Ye Yang slid back a step to adjust his stance, standing tall on the stone slab with his cloak billowing behind him. He looked unflinchingly at the sky as whirlwinds rose around him; he was actually going to use his Starlit Armor to withstand the opponent's roaring attack!
"Boom!"
The massive stone on the high platform was shattered into pieces, debris flying everywhere, and the entire platform was nearly split in two. Peng Yue's full-force strike with the Lingxi Sword was incredibly domineering, shattering the surrounding forbidden formations of the Dueling Platform. The sword energy and flames dispersed for hundreds of meters, resulting in several noble youths at the edge of the platform being horrifically burned to death, their screams echoing continuously.
"This... is this the power a person can possess?"
King Yan was also moved, standing up, while Si Tu Wen Ruo beside him said, "Sire, be careful. Peng Yue has lost his sanity. I will gather the guards immediately!"
"Quickly go!"
...
As the dust settled, although Peng Yue's fierce strike was immensely powerful, Ye Yang still stood suspended in mid-air. His battle robe was torn and tattered, and his battle armor bore numerous burn marks from the flames. Furthermore, a wound about ten centimeters long appeared on Ye Yang's shoulder, blood gushing forth; it was a scar left by a direct hit from the Lingxi Sword.
"Hey, I thought you were something special; turns out you're just flesh and blood!" Peng Yue licked his lips, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "With the next strike, I will surely kill you!"
Ye Yang shrugged slightly, revealing a mischievous smile. "Do as you please; as long as you're happy!"
However, the wound on Ye Yang's shoulder quickly healed. This was the ability possessed by a Starry Sky Level Three expert; as long as it wasn't a fatal blow that shattered the soul, they wouldn't die immediately.
Peng Yue gritted his teeth and swung the Sharp Sword, instantly unleashing seven or eight sword energies that whistled toward his opponent.
Ye Yang waved his arms, gathering Starlight Power in his palms. With a series of claps, he effortlessly deflected Peng Yue's sword strikes with remarkable calmness. However, bloodstains appeared on his palms; Peng Yue's strength was indeed overwhelming. After being enhanced by the Lingxi Sword, his attacking sword energy had a unique ability to break through Starlit Armor. This was something that surprised Ye Yang; Ou Yezi was a Divine Craftsman, and the Second-Grade Divine Weapon he forged was truly extraordinary.
...
"Gagagaga..."
Peng Yue looked around the Dueling Platform, his eyes filled with rage. After scattering seven or eight sword energies without killing Ye Yang, he turned the area below into a scene of purgatory. The stands were cut haphazardly; the clash of two Starry Sky Level experts was astonishing. The residual force of just the sword energy had already claimed at least a hundred lives!
At this moment, chaos reigned below, with a strong smell of blood filling the air and cries of anguish and wails merging into one!
However, Peng Yue showed no signs of discomfort; it seemed that the deaths of these people under his sword were a validation for him, and an honor for them. He remained remarkably calm.
In contrast, Ye Yang was already furious. Watching the cries of despair from below, Ye Yang nearly ground his teeth in anger because he knew that a Starry Sky Level Three expert had an exceptional ability to control their power. If he wanted to, there would be no chance of collateral damage. Yet, it was clear that Peng Yue had no intention of protecting the safety of the civilians; his bloodthirsty nature meant he only cared about himself and his opponents.
Slowly raising his arm, with a loud "smack," Ye Yang firmly grasped the Blade of the Azure Soul Sword. This Earth Divine Weapon, wrapped in black cloth and its sheath, was finally about to be revealed before everyone.
"Clang!"
As the Azure Soul Sword was drawn, brilliant light erupted, transforming the atmosphere. A blue radiance suddenly appeared in the venue, as if stars had descended.
Peng Yue laughed heartily: "You finally decided to draw your sword!"
Below, Zhang Tianhe trembled: "Oh no, Zi Yu is angry. This... this Peng Yue might not be able to keep his life. If he kills this Wei Nation Divine General, will King Wei retaliate against Qi State in a fit of rage?"
Zhang Fei grunted: "If war is what it comes to, then let it be! We'll fight!"
...
On stage, Ye Yang held the Azure Soul Sword and felt an exceptionally powerful force surge into his body. It seemed he could sense Qin Fang's overwhelming aura enveloping him; for a moment, it felt as if Qin Fang was fighting alongside him, and that warm feeling swirled in his heart.
"Grandpa Qin, I won't let you down, nor will I let your sacrifice be in vain."
Ye Yang silently vowed and suddenly stepped on a piece of rubble, launching himself toward Peng Yue. The Azure Soul Sword struck with overwhelming force directly at his opponent while Peng Yue charged back with equal ferocity. The Lingxi Sword's Edge surged forth to meet the Azure Soul Sword head-on!
"Clang!"
In a deafening clash, Peng Yue was knocked back through the air while Ye Yang suddenly vanished. The next moment, he reappeared directly above him, wielding the Azure Soul Sword infused with Purgatory Flame Blade techniques, crashing down upon Peng Yue with immense force as he shouted: "Die, beast!"
Caught off guard, Peng Yue barely managed to raise the Lingxi Sword to cross in front of his chest, relying solely on this extraordinary Divine Weapon to block Ye Yang's attack!
"Bang!"
With a powerful strike, Peng Yue's body fell to the ground like a cannonball, smashing through countless stone slabs and sinking deep into the earth, creating a basin several dozen meters wide. Despite the impact, Peng Yue was not dead; his eyes were fixed intently on Lingxi Sword. Suddenly, he shouted in shock, "Ah? How... how is this possible?"
Lingxi Sword trembled slightly, and two very clear cracks appeared on the blade. After two hard clashes, it had gained no advantage at all. In fact, with the Azure Soul Sword remaining intact, Lingxi Sword's blade had already shattered. Peng Yue was completely astonished, unable to comprehend what kind of divine weapon Ye Yang wielded in his hand.
"Die!"
In the air, Ye Yang struck down with a third blow. The Azure Soul Sword emitted a soaring sword chant as three Dragon Scale Storms instantly formed, which was the killing move of the Hidden Dragon Technique!
"Oh no!"
Despair filled Peng Yue's eyes. In the next moment, Ye Yang swung his long sword downwards, and the three Dragon Scale Storms unleashed by the Azure Soul Sword swept across the ground like a tornado storm, wreaking havoc beneath the platform. Massive stones from the platform were caught up in the rapid rotation, and the dragon scale energy sliced through Peng Yue's body. Such a world-shattering move left the onlookers below dumbfounded; perhaps this was what an apocalypse looked like!
However, Ye Yang's control over his power was exceptional. The Dragon Scale Storm centered around Peng Yue but only ravaged him alone, leaving everyone else unharmed.
...
After a while, the Dragon Scale Storm gradually subsided. Amidst the ruins, Peng Yue knelt on the ground in a pitiful state, propping himself up with Lingxi Sword. One of his legs had been completely reduced to fragments, and his left arm was similarly torn apart. His face, shoulders, and chest were covered in numerous ghastly wounds, and his armor was shredded to pieces.
Ye Yang suddenly descended and delivered another straightforward strike: "Peng Yue, go die in peace!"
Peng Yue's pupils constricted sharply; survival instinct drove him to abandon his dignity as he shouted, "Ye Yang, you once promised not to kill me in this battle, only to kill Peng Cheng. As a general of Qi State, how can you go back on your word?"
"Oh?"
Ye Yang halted his movement, but the Azure Soul Sword still plummeted!
"Clang!"
The battered Lingxi Sword finally shattered into two pieces. The legendary Divine Weapon, long coveted by all, was destroyed just like that by Ye Yang!
...
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Peng Yue lay on the ground, wailing in agony. His right arm had been severed by Ye Yang's sword. The once formidable Wei Nation Divine General now had only one leg still attached to his body, rolling on the ground like a stiff winter melon, crying out in despair. The previous arrogance had completely vanished.
His flesh slowly writhed. As a Starry Sky Level Three powerhouse, Peng Yue still had enough strength to recover his body. However, even if he used the power of Starry Sky Level Three to heal himself, it would inevitably consume a large amount of True Qi. In fact, even an ordinary Earth-level expert might not be able to defeat him; he would essentially be incapacitated for three days.
Ye Yang raised his foot and suddenly hooked Peng Yue's body up, kicking him heavily into the distance. Accurately, Peng Yue landed at the feet of several Wei Kingdom generals, who were immediately stunned into silence. Looking at Peng Yue's miserable state, they could hardly associate this pitiful figure with the imposing General they once knew.
...
"How... how could this happen..." King Yan stood there in shock, staring at the ruins of the Lingxi Sword. "The Lingxi Sword is our nation's treasure; how could it be destroyed? This can't be true..."
Si Tu Wen Ruo pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect Ye Yang to come here. This kid possesses dual identities as the Fire God Warrior and Heir of the Hidden Dragon Hall, with the entire Hidden Dragon Hall backing him up. He is indeed not someone we can provoke right now. Even Peng Yue was defeated by him. I think it would be better for you to take advantage of this situation and betroth Princess Yan Yao to him, making Ye Yang your son-in-law. Then both Qi State and Hidden Dragon Hall will be at our disposal!"
King Yan nodded in agreement and stepped to the edge of the platform, declaring loudly: "The Sword Seizing Tournament has determined its final victor. The young hero Ye Yang from Liang City has defeated all competitors and emerged as the ultimate champion. I hereby announce that Ye Yang shall receive the title of General of Yan, and I will betroth my beloved daughter Yan Yao to Ye Yang as his wife. This is proclaimed to the world!"
