Chapter 372: Chapter 370: Then I Won’t Be Polite

Boom!

From the distant horizon, a massive Sword Light tore through the void, hurtling across the sky, spanning thousands of miles, and striking with unparalleled impact.

Xiao Ye dared not be careless, as the four Xuandans within his body trembled in unison. He activated his Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, his body shone with dazzling golden light, and then he unleashed a brilliant Blade Light.

Rumble!

The Blade Light collided with the Sword Light, with both exploding simultaneously, causing the void to shatter and obliterate instantly.

At the same time, an unmatched wave of force spread out in all directions, causing the ground to crack, faraway mountains to collapse in swathes, and the young warriors nearby to be unfortunate enough to be sent flying, bleeding profusely, with a large cleared area around those who were seated further back.

This is the might of Peak Strong People!

Such a terrifying scene left the onlookers in utter shock; they felt the gap between themselves and Xiao Ye, knowing that although they were geniuses, they were still inferior to the two individuals before them.

Especially Xiao Ye, who had not yet broken through to the Void Martial Realm, was yet so frightening that his invincible presence caused shivers.

At this moment, after Xiao Ye blocked the massive Sword Light, his body trembled, and he couldn’t help but retreat seven or eight steps backward, his blood boiling inside him, a trace of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

In this clash, he was actually at a disadvantage!

Who exactly was the one who made a move against him?

Xiao Ye felt annoyed in his heart, narrowed his eyes to look over, and was slightly taken aback.

Amidst the dust and smoke, a golden-haired youth was stepping through the air toward this side, his eyes filled with surging hatred. His right arm had been severed at the shoulder, and his remaining left hand was gripping a bright and dazzling Longsword, radiating a brilliance that sent shivers through anyone’s body and created an immense pressure.

Indeed, this golden-haired youth was Jinpengzi who had an arm sliced off by Xiao Ye. Had Jun Shitian not appeared in time, he would have already become a Dead Soul under Xiao Ye’s blade, and to think that in just two days, he had already recovered, presumably having taken some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

And most importantly... that Longsword!

"That must be a Void Artifact!"

Xiao Ye’s heart trembled, the Longsword was releasing terrifying, heaven-reaching fluctuations, exhaling astonishing Cold Qi, freezing everything, causing the surrounding temperature to drop drastically, with snowflakes beginning to flutter in the sky.

"Void Artifact!"

"My god, it’s a Void Artifact!" A youth nearby exclaimed with his eyes widened, and even the fighting Young Talents turned their shocked gazes.

Despite Jinpengzi having lost an arm, his Cultivation remained. Now with a Void Artifact in hand, his power would inevitably surge to a horrifying extent. How many people on the scene could contend with him?

Moreover, it appeared that Jinpengzi had not fully activated the power of the Void Artifact; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so simple to just force Xiao Ye back.

Nangong Xingyu’s expression changed slightly, worrying for Xiao Ye, but with the ranking match rules in place, he couldn’t intervene.

"How could Jinpengzi have a Void Artifact?" Xiao Ye’s face darkened as he remembered that, in the Ancient City, Jinpengzi nearly lost his life over a Void Artifact long spear—it was clear that Jinpengzi did not possess a Void Artifact of his own.

When he noticed the smug gaze from Jun Shitian, seated in the first place, realization struck Xiao Ye’s heart.

Without needing to say more, this Longsword must have been provided by Jun Shitian, and the treasure that was taken from the forest where he was in seclusion must be this Void Artifact.

"It seems that without me lifting a finger, you are about to meet your demise," Jun Shitian said mockingly.

"Is that so?" Xiao Ye smiled faintly, "I’m afraid you’re celebrating too early."

Having said that, Xiao Ye withdrew his gaze and stared at Jinpengzi, who was approaching step by step through the air.

So what if it were a Void Artifact? His Sky Breaking Saber was definitely not weaker than that Longsword, and with the Slaughter Law he had comprehended, he could surely defeat Jinpengzi completely.

"Xiao Ye, you never imagined there would be a day like this, right?" Jinpengzi’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, "I will personally slice off your flesh, so you endure the agony of a thousand cuts before dying."

"Hehe..." Xiao Ye sneered, "Jinpengzi, even as one of the top Heavenly Prides, you now stoop to relying on the advantage of Weaponry, aren’t you ashamed?"

"Where is the pride you had when you first entered the Sky Breaking King Realm?"

Xiao Ye’s cold shouting voice pierced sharply into Jinpengzi’s heart like a knife, causing his expression to contort with bulging veins.

Pride?

His pride had long been shattered by this freak!

"Since ancient times, winners are kings, and losers are bandits."

"Don’t try to provoke me with your words and then expect me to give up the Void Artifact to fight you. Now, it’s time for you to depart this life!"

After Jinpengzi finished speaking, the Void Artifact in his hand was fully activated, his aura skyrocketed, and the void in front of him burst open, a formidable power forming a Sword Light that shot straight into the Nine Heavens, causing the whole world to tremble as the temperature plummeted, almost enveloping half of the continent.

A group of Young Talents couldn’t help but be appalled. This was the true power of a Void Artifact; it was as if a highly Cultivated Void Martial Realm Expert had descended, emitting an unparalleled aura of ice and cold, freezing everything.

"Lord Envoy, using Void Artifacts in the ranking battle, isn’t that against the rules? If everyone did this, the ranking battle would be thrown into chaos." King Xingyun flew in front of the Dynasty Envoy, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, with a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes.

In his view, with a Void Artifact in hand, Jinpengzi’s strength had increased at least several times over, making Xiao Ye unable to contend.

"Brother Xingyun, Lord Envoy returned the young talents’ Space Rings before the start of the ranking battle, so using a Void Artifact naturally doesn’t violate the rules."

At this time, King Jinpeng stepped out, emanating a domineering aura, and the look in his eyes towards Xiao Ye was filled with murderous intent.

Jinpengzi was a Heavenly Pride whom he had taken under his wing and cultivated heavily, only to have his arm severed by Xiao Ye. How could he not hold a grudge? Besides, his relationship with King Xingyun had always been less than cordial.

"That’s right, the Void Artifact in Jinpengzi’s hand comes from the Sky Breaking King Realm, so it does not count as a rule violation," said the Dynasty Envoy indifferently.

"You!" Even with King Xingyun’s composure, he couldn’t help but grow angry because of King Jinpeng.

King Jinpeng let out a cold laugh, ready to enjoy the scene of Xiao Ye being killed, but suddenly froze, his face showing disbelief.

"This kid..."

King Xingyun turned his head to look and immediately showed a look of delighted surprise.

At this moment, just as Jinpengzi used the Void Artifact and moved to kill Xiao Ye, a terrifying aura suddenly swept across the continent. Following this, a blood-red Sword Light soared into the heavens, like a blood-red river flooding the skies and earth, and an extremely rich scent of blood rushed towards them.

It was a blood-red longsword that appeared in Xiao Ye’s hand, emitting a dazzling Divine Radiance, like a Divine being awakening, yet insulted by a lowly challenge. An endless blood-red light counterattacked towards the Nine Heavens, shattering Jinpengzi’s Sword Light.

A Void Artifact!

And it seemed several times stronger than Jinpengzi’s Void Artifact. Xiao Ye was not surprised in the least.

His Sky Breaking Saber was a gift from the Sky Breaking King. How could it be compared to an ordinary Void Artifact?

"What!"

Jinpengzi was stunned, his whole body trembling, the cold Qi emanating from his longsword suppressed, its light gradually dimming.

Xiao Ye actually possessed a Void Artifact stronger than his own.

"Jinpengzi, I gave you a chance. If you had abandoned your Void Artifact and fought me fair and square, it wouldn’t have come to this," Xiao Ye shook his head and sighed.

The surrounding Young Talents almost spat blood at this pretense, as he clearly had an absolute advantage, yet spoke as if he had been forced into this position.

But Jinpengzi’s face turned ashen with regret in his heart, he shouldn’t have rushed to deal with Xiao Ye with the Void Artifact borrowed from Jun Shitian.

Without need for further words, if this continued, he was undoubtedly destined to lose and even his life would not be spared.

"Escape!"

The thought flashed through Jinpengzi’s mind, and with surging power at his feet, a Golden Roc materialized, its wings spread wide, lifting him into the air as he swiftly flew towards King Jinpeng.

"Jinpengzi, since you’re here, don’t leave. Leave your life behind instead!"

Xiao Ye certainly wouldn’t let Jinpengzi escape. With a stride, he quickly chased after him, raising the Sky Breaking Saber high in his hand, and in that moment, unleashed an overwhelming surge of power.

"Xiao Ye, cease your hand!" Lord Jun Shitian roared from the first seat, his fury piercing the heavens as if a Demon God smashing through the sky, shooting towards Xiao Ye.

"The rules of the ranking battle cannot be broken, go back." At that moment, the Dynasty Envoy extended a large hand, suppressing Lord Jun Shitian back into his place.

Xiao Ye glanced at Jun Shitian with a hint of a cold smile on his face, then swung the Sky Breaking Saber down directly.

Boom!

The entire heaven and earth trembled, followed by a majestic, vast blood-colored Blade Light, shattered the void, pouring down like a bloody Galaxy, completely drowning Jinpengzi.

Puff!

Using the Sky Breaking Saber to wield the Blood Battle Eight Directions amplified its power more than tenfold. Jinpengzi didn’t even have the chance to scream before his body was pierced through, exploding into a blur of flesh and blood that scattered.

Jinpengzi, a Peak Strong Person qualified for the top ten in this ranking battle, was killed by Xiao Ye just like that, without any twists and turns, utterly overpowered.

Everyone was stunned, finding it hard to believe what had just transpired, as the entire continent fell into a deathly silence.

"I told you to cease your hand, did you not hear me?" Jun Shitian’s hair flew wildly, his eyes filled with surging killing intent, undamaged under the Dynasty Envoy’s suppression, showcasing his formidable strength.

"I heard you, but what can you do about it? And..." Xiao Ye smiled lightly, his figure darting forward, and snatched Jinpengzi’s longsword.

"Thank you for gifting me a Void Artifact, I won’t stand on ceremony." Xiao Ye said with a grin, and then put the longsword into his Space Ring.

The value of a Void Artifact wasn’t low, and naturally, Xiao Ye would not let it slip by.

Crack!

Jun Shitian’s face stiffened, his fists clenched tightly with a cracking sound, his whole body emitting a freezing cold Qi, causing the ground to tremble and the sky to gather dark clouds, countless electric lights flickering.
