Dominator Emperor

Bai Jianzhen blocking the path immediately drew a crowd of onlookers. The younger generation of cultivators, in particular, were filled with interest. Countless prodigies and geniuses from the Great Teaching Territories were secretly gloating. They were all happy to see Li Qiye provoke such a Godslayer. Li Qiye’s fame had been too overwhelming recently. He had not only insulted the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist but also killed him and challenged the Qingxuan Ancient Country. His reputation soared, and his momentum was catching up to the top geniuses of the younger generation. How could this not make the many Prince Giants of the Great Teaching Territories see him as a rival?

At this moment, even renowned young geniuses of the Middle Grand Realm like Saint Child Bao Zhu, Young Emperor Nantian, and Princess Xiuse were watching from a distance.

"The successor of the Sword God Holy Land is looking for another sword duel!" someone murmured upon seeing Bai Jianzhen block the path.

In an instant, many people began to whisper amongst themselves. This was because Bai Jianzhen, the successor of the Sword God Holy Land, had recently been seeking out sword duels everywhere. Whether they were Ancient Saints of the older generation or geniuses of the younger generation, as long as a cultivator had some attainments in the Sword Dao, she would come to their door for a duel. As for geniuses who didn’t practice the Sword Dao, she wouldn’t even give them a second glance.

Bai Jianzhen was truly worthy of being the Sword God Holy Land’s successor. Her Sword Dao was invincible, her killing strikes merciless. The vast majority of opponents who dueled her either retreated with injuries or were slain by her blade. Very few could escape unscathed from her Black Sword. Her killing methods were simply too terrifying.

Li Qiye narrowed his eyes at the path-blocking Bai Jianzhen and said with a wide smile, "As the saying goes, a good dog doesn’t block the road! I don’t care if you’re some magnate or some successor. You’re in my way, so get lost!"

Li Qiye’s crude words left many of the spectating cultivators speechless. ’This Little Ghost truly lives up to his name as a Little Demon, so arrogant to everyone he speaks to.’ Bai Jianzhen was the successor of the Sword God Holy Land, and she herself was even more terrifying—like a Godslayer whose hands were drenched in blood. Her sword was merciless, her killing absolute. Anyone who met this Godslayer would speak politely, trying their best not to provoke her. But this Little Ghost had offended Bai Jianzhen with his very first words.

"Be a gentleman! That’s too crude!" Chen Baojiao chided Li Qiye with a charming pout.

As for Bai Jianzhen, she remained utterly expressionless—as cold as a sword, as hard as iron. She was like a drawn Blood Sword, reeking of killing intent and dripping with fresh blood, ready to devour its next victim. She looked at Li Qiye as if he were already a dead man, yet wasn’t she just like a dead person herself?

"Draw your sword—" Bai Jianzhen said coldly. Her normally pleasant voice was now chillingly merciless, like Profound Ice piercing one’s heart, making people shiver involuntarily.

Bai Jianzhen’s beautiful, jewel-like eyes stared coldly at Li Qiye as she said with icy indifference, "If you can take three of my sword strikes, I will let you pass!"

Li Qiye glanced at her and said, "You tell me to draw my sword, so I should just draw my sword? Wouldn’t I lose a lot of face? Who do you think you are? Why should I draw my sword!?"

"Aren’t you the one who acts so unrivaled? What’s this, suddenly afraid to accept a challenge? Feeling outmatched?" At this moment, the spectating Young Emperor Nantian sneered and spoke slowly.

Everyone present heard the Young Emperor Nantian’s words. In an instant, many eyes turned to them, and the atmosphere grew even stranger.

The Young Emperor Nantian was handsome and elegant, with an overwhelming noble aura. Born into the Imperial Race, he was truly a favored son of the heavens. Although the Young Emperor Nantian wasn’t as ostentatious as the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist, he still enjoyed a great reputation in the Middle Grand Realm. More frighteningly, it was rumored that he was born with a Holy Wheel, cultivated an Emperor Technique, and possessed a combat strength that made others extremely wary.

As the Young Emperor Nantian fanned the flames from the sidelines, Li Qiye shot him a sideways glance and said, "Whether I fight or not is none of your damn business. If you’ve got the guts, get your ass over here and see if I don’t slaughter you! Just like I slaughtered Nan Tianhao!"

"Return a foot of respect with ten feet of my own"—this was Li Qiye’s style. Since the Young Emperor Nantian dared to provoke him, he showed no mercy and immediately countered with a provocation of his own.

The Young Emperor Nantian already intended to make an enemy of Li Qiye. Upon hearing his words, his expression turned cold. He took a step forward, his aura vast and his Blood Qi boundless. His gaze on Li Qiye was frigid, and killing intent flared as he said, "Since you’re courting death, I’ll be happy to oblige!"

"He’s mine!" Bai Jianzhen’s killing intent was like frost—icy and merciless. She showed no deference to the Young Emperor Nantian, not even sparing him a glance.

"Fine. Since Bai Fairy wishes to slay this Little Ghost, I will not contend with you." Seeing Bai Jianzhen’s frosty killing intent, the Young Emperor Nantian also felt a sense of dread. He stopped in his tracks but continued to glare coldly at Li Qiye.

"Draw your sword!" Bai Jianzhen’s gaze was like a Blood Sword, making one shudder without the cold. A peerlessly beautiful young woman, yet her overwhelming killing intent was enough to make anyone tremble in fear!

"If it’s a sword duel you want, there’s no need for our Young Master to act personally. I will accompany you!" Li Shuangyan accepted the challenge, her demeanor full of dominance.

Li Shuangyan accepting the challenge awed many people. No one dared to look down on Li Shuangyan. A Five-Palace Prince and a Dao Marquis, she was a Heavenly Pride Girl who absolutely had the qualifications to challenge any hero in the world!

However, Bai Jianzhen didn’t even spare Li Shuangyan a glance. Her voice, as cold as the ring of a sword, stated icily, "I have no interest in your Sword Array!"

Without a doubt, Bai Jianzhen had come for Li Qiye. That day in the Celestial Ancient Dynasty, when Li Qiye had drawn his sword against Ji Kongjian, his strike was one of slaughter, as merciless as the Celestial Dao itself. This had immediately made Bai Jianzhen mark Li Qiye as her next opponent!

This was hardly surprising. The Sword God Holy Land specialized in Sword Cultivation. Their Primordial Ancestor, the Yeti Immortal Emperor, had proven his Dao through the sword and became unrivaled through slaughter. As the successor of the Sword God Holy Land, Bai Jianzhen had been obsessed with the Sword Dao since childhood and had cultivated a supreme heart for sword-based killing. Whenever she encountered a cultivator with a powerful Sword Dao, she would be like a hunter spotting its prey.

"Compared to my Three Talents Sword Technique," Li Qiye said, looking leisurely at Bai Jianzhen, "I’ve never been a fan of your Night Emperor Immortal Emperor’s Path of Killing Sword! The Sword God Holy Land’s Path of Killing Sword may be unrivaled, but in my eyes, it’s nothing close to a Path of Absolute Immortal!"

"This kid’s got some nerve, daring to comment so brazenly on an Immortal Emperor’s Path!" someone murmured.

Another young genius sneered in disdain, "Just an ignorant child who doesn’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth. As if an Immortal Emperor’s Path is something he’s qualified to critique!"

"The Three Talents Sword Technique—" Bai Jianzhen stared coldly at Li Qiye. Just hearing the name made her eyes pulse with Sword Intent. Streaks of Sword Radiance emerged, evolving into a supreme Sword Dao. In an instant, her beautiful eyes reflected a Genius Sword, a swordless Celestial Dao, a single strike of absolute death!

"Deducing a Dao with just her eyes!" Seeing Bai Jianzhen’s state, everyone was awestruck. Bai Jianzhen hadn’t even witnessed the full extent of Li Qiye’s Three Talents Sword Technique, yet she was already deducing his Sword Dao just from its name. A person like this was too terrifying; it was as if her eyes could deduce every Sword Dao in existence!

Seeing Bai Jianzhen’s eyes deduce the Sword Dao, both the Young Emperor Nantian and Saint Child Bao Zhu felt a deep sense of dread. To challenge Bai Jianzhen in the Sword Dao would be absolute suicide.

"Incredible—" Seeing Bai Jianzhen deduce the Dao with her eyes, even the ever-arrogant Li Qiye couldn’t help but praise her. He nodded and said, "No wonder those old monsters from the Divine Sword Holy Land chose you as their successor. You were born for the Sword Dao!"

"Draw your sword—" Bai Jianzhen said, cold and merciless. "Three strikes will suffice!" Her hunter’s instinct was triggered; she wanted to witness the full picture of Li Qiye’s Three Talents Sword Technique.

Li Qiye had absolute confidence in his Three Talents Sword Technique. This wasn’t his first time comprehending a Dao, nor was the Three Talents Sword Technique the first sword technique he had ever created in his long life! This sword technique had been refined from the Supreme Dao of the Six Paths Lotus and the Pumo Tree. It was absolutely peerless. He was confident that if he were to become an Immortal Emperor one day, this sword technique would definitely rank among the very best in the world!

Li Qiye narrowed his eyes, looked at Bai Jianzhen, and said in a calm and leisurely manner, "I’m not very interested in duels. If you’re my enemy, I’ll just kill you! However, there’s no grudge between us. I really have no interest in killing you today!"

"Heh, as if you’re guaranteed to win against Bai Fairy!" the Young Emperor Nantian sneered from the side. "When it comes to swords, Bai Fairy is invincible!"

Although the Young Emperor Nantian’s words were debatable, quite a few people secretly agreed in their hearts. Bai Jianzhen’s killing sword was truly terrifying.

"None of your damn business," Li Qiye said, giving him a cold glance. "When I’m talking, shut your mouth. Don’t be a gossiping hag all day, it’s annoying just looking at you!"

These words made the Young Emperor Nantian tremble with anger. His face turned ashen as he glared at Li Qiye and said grimly, "Little Ghost, you dare act so arrogant when death is at your doorstep!"

Li Qiye couldn’t be bothered with him. He looked at Bai Jianzhen, smiled, and said leisurely, "Since your Sword God Holy Land is so confident in its Sword Dao, fine, I’ll play along. But I have a condition. What if you lose?"

Bai Jianzhen’s gaze, like Sword Radiance, locked onto Li Qiye. Her stare was so cold and sharp it felt physically painful, causing many to shy away from her eyes. She said icily, "You will be the one to lose!"

"So confident. I like it." Li Qiye laughed. He met Bai Jianzhen’s Sword-Radiance-like gaze and said calmly, "How about this. If my Dao is inferior and you cut me down, I’ll have nothing to say. But if you lose, you will submit to me."

"I happen to be short of a Bed Warmer Girl. Even though you’re as cold as a block of ice, seeing as you’re a natural seed of the Sword Dao, I’ll reluctantly accept you as one." Having said this, Li Qiye spoke in that same calm and leisurely manner.

The way he said it, it was as if this were a trivial matter. He spoke as if Bai Jianzhen were just the daughter of an ordinary family, whom he could take as a Bed Warmer Girl whenever he pleased.

Li Qiye’s words left many people in the crowd speechless! Bai Jianzhen was the successor of the Sword God Holy Land, a genius of Cultivation. Her own Dao Practice was already powerful and terrifying enough.

And yet, this Little Ghost in front of them opened his mouth and demanded to take her as a Bed Warmer Girl. Wasn’t this just too arrogant?!
