The Sword Saint Commander’s tone was full of arrogance, as if he truly could easily kill Ye Feng.
However, Ye Feng simply couldn’t be bothered with him, and before Ye Feng could respond, the Sword Saint Commander had already left.
The Sword Saint Commander’s intentions were clear: he would not allow Ye Feng to win against the Storm Envoy, otherwise, he would kill Ye Feng himself. This was an order from the Sword Saint Commander, not a negotiation with Ye Feng, so he didn’t give Ye Feng a chance to discuss.
Thus, after speaking his piece, the Sword Saint Commander left Ye Feng’s side.
At the same time, the Sword Emperor Commander also stood up from the judge’s seat and spoke loudly: "Alright, the great martial contest of the Nine-layered Heaven begins now. Whoever is confident in their own strength, come forward!"
At that moment, an aura of thunder filled the Martial Arts Arena. A bolt of lightning flashed by in an instant, landing on the Life and Death Platform, where a burly middle-aged man took his place on the stage.
That man was none other than the Thunder Envoy from the Seven-Colored Envoy. The Thunder Envoy’s strength was extremely powerful, having reached the legendary peak, and there were few in the Nine-layered Heaven who could rival him.
As soon as the Thunder Envoy arrived on the Life and Death Platform, everyone’s brows furrowed. Many knew they were no match for the Thunder Envoy and so did not step up to the platform to fight.
At this moment, the Qingmu Envoy leaped onto the Life and Death Platform and engaged in battle with the Thunder Envoy.
The outcome was as everyone expected; the Thunder Envoy effortlessly defeated the Qingmu Envoy.
The Thunder Envoy successively defeated three legendary realm powerhouses, and the warriors of the Nine-layered Heaven fell silent; they were well aware that among them, only Ye Feng and the Storm Envoy could potentially defeat the Thunder Envoy.
Standing in the center of the Life and Death Platform, the Thunder Envoy’s eyes brimmed with absolute confidence.
"Who else will come forth and battle me?" the Thunder Envoy shouted audibly.
Right at that moment, the Storm Envoy stepped out from the crowd, walked to the base of the Life and Death Platform, and then effortlessly leaped onto the platform.
Upon seeing the Storm Envoy, the Thunder Envoy’s gaze turned wary; he would not underestimate the Storm Envoy simply because she was a woman.
The Storm Envoy looked at the Thunder Envoy coldly, "Do we even need to fight?"
The Storm Envoy appeared utterly relaxed, entirely unconcerned by the Thunder Envoy. The Thunder Envoy’s brow furrowed, and then he smiled awkwardly, "I admit, I’m not your match, but we haven’t battled yet. To concede immediately would be too embarrassing. Come on, Storm Envoy, show me how powerful you’ve become after your breakthrough!"
"As you wish!" The Storm Envoy’s eyes immediately emitted a sharp war intent, and powerful gusts of wind whirled around her.
"Whoosh!" In an instant, a hurricane exploded from the Storm Envoy, surging out in all directions. The Storm Envoy’s figure flickered, and in a blink, she was before the Thunder Envoy.
The Thunder Envoy was taken aback, not expecting the Storm Envoy’s speed to be so fast.
The Storm Envoy swung her sword straight down at the Thunder Envoy’s head. The sword, wrapped in fierce winds with the augmentation of the Storm Realm, attacked with incredible speed and reached the Thunder Envoy’s head in a blink. The Thunder Envoy was fast too; he quickly raised his longsword.
Across his longsword, thunder intertwined, and an aura of thunderous destruction spread out.
"Crackle!" His longsword emitted the crisp sound of thunder as the Thunder Envoy swung it quickly towards the Storm Envoy’s longsword, like it transformed into an arc of lightning.
"Clang!" In an instant, the sound of metal collision echoed throughout the Martial Arts Arena. Both sides’ True Essence collided, and the aftermath rippled out like invisible tidal waves, submerging the surroundings in an instant.
The shockwave hit everyone’s bodies, making them feel as if they were being drowned by waves, turning even breathing difficult. The shockwave surged out for hundreds of meters before finally dissipating.
The powerful force hit the Thunder Envoy’s body— he felt the Storm Envoy’s strength surpassed his, even though the Thunder Realm’s power was stronger than the Storm Realm.
At this moment, the Storm Envoy’s cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the legendary realm; she was a level higher, and naturally her strength vastly surpassed the Thunder Envoy. In an instant, the Thunder Envoy felt a piercing pain in the base of his thumb.
The formidable rebounding force acted upon the Thunder Envoy, and he felt a tumult of Blood Qi within his body, unable to help but retreat a step backward.
Just then, the Thunder Envoy revealed a weakness, and the Storm Envoy seized the opportunity, quickly moving to strike the Thunder Envoy. In a flash, the Storm Envoy’s longsword burst forth with a barrage of gusts.
The Storm Envoy’s longsword, like a violent storm, charged at the Thunder Envoy.
One sword stroke followed another, each like a tempest, transforming into a series of sword waves. Each move was more powerful than the last. The Thunder Envoy could not withstand the terrifying assault and was forced to keep retreating.
Pain filled the Thunder Envoy’s eyes. Not only did the Storm Envoy surpass him in strength, but her speed was also incomparable. Coupled with her incredibly rapid body skills, she completely suppressed the Thunder Envoy— he was no match for her.
The Thunder Envoy could only defend, without the strength to counterattack. The Storm Envoy drove him into consecutive retreats, his eyes reflecting pain as he showed signs of impending defeat.
Finally, after thirty exchanges, the Storm Envoy slashed down with her sword, striking the Thunder Envoy’s longsword heavily. The Thunder Envoy was overpowered, and the Storm Envoy shook his longsword from his grasp to the ground, ending the fight...
Resigned defeat filled the Thunder Envoy’s gaze.
