Over the sea, two figures flickered in succession.
The Crown Prince’s face was sullen. He had come to Group Dragon Island this time intending to witness Luo Feng’s demise and downfall.
However, things did not go as planned. Luo Feng had triumphed all the way in the New Dragon List Tournament, defeating New Dragon List experts continuously. Not only had he killed Leng Feifan, but now even Lu Xiao Yun had been brutally defeated, becoming the most dazzling new star among the top ten new dragons. Instead of falling into disgrace, he was basking in infinite glory, which made the Crown Prince furious and a bit fearful at heart.
"Your Highness, why are we chasing after Lu Xiao Yun?"
Elder Li followed up, facing the Crown Prince, and answered himself: "Do you really think Blood Elder cannot kill Luo Feng? That’s unlikely. Although Luo Feng is powerful, Blood Elder is a True Yuan Realm expert of the fifth level and as an elder of the Blood Flower Tower, his killing methods are unfathomable. The True Yuan Realm Martial Artists who have died by his hands are too numerous to count."
The Crown Prince let out a cold snort, "I’m looking for Lu Xiao Yun not just for matters concerning Luo Feng."
"Could it be for the Second Prince?" Elder Li’s eyes flashed.
"Indeed."
The Crown Prince nodded: "Since the death of Azure Cloud Marquis, the second prince’s influence in the dynasty has been growing day by day. Now, including Bright Moon Marquis, there are already three King Marquis supporting him, and the Business Alliance, led by the Dayang Commerce Alliance, has been frequently in contact with him. If we don’t recruit a group of experts soon, we will inevitably be suppressed by the second prince in the future."
At this point, the Crown Prince’s face suddenly turned ferocious:
"It’s all because of that Luo Feng! If it weren’t for him, Azure Cloud Marquis wouldn’t have died, the Business Alliance would have fallen into my hands, and the one who ruined my chance to acquire the Single Horned Red Cloud Python’s Demon Core was also him! When he dies and I seize power, I will ensure the Luo Family is wiped from existence—no, I will make the entire Panlong City disappear from this world to quell the hatred in my heart!"
Elder Li’s expression slightly stiffened; he knew the Crown Prince was not joking. He said, "Your Highness, Lu Xiao Yun, being one of the three Heavenly Swords of Sky Sword Pavilion, is arrogant. He even refused the title of the top ten new dragons and may not agree to help us."
"He wouldn’t have agreed before, but now it might be different."
The Crown Prince smiled sinisterly and said coldly, "He was once the Red Blood Fire Dragon, glorious among the top ten new dragons. Now, having lost to Luo Feng, he’s nothing but a stray dog. What do you think he wants to do most now?"
Elder Li pondered slightly, "As both talents emerged from Purple Sun School and are senior and junior brothers, Lu Xiao Yun losing to Luo Feng must be considered a great humiliation for him. His most immediate desire now is undoubtedly to defeat Luo Feng."
The Crown Prince sneered, "Indeed, he wants to defeat Luo Feng, but it’s not something that can be achieved easily. He will definitely need a lot of resources, including cultivation techniques and secret manuals."
Elder Li suddenly understood. Now that Lu Xiao Yun had been defeated, he must hate Luo Feng to the core. If given certain benefits, he might indeed agree to help the Crown Prince’s Residence. The wealth accumulated by the dynasty is not beneath any Golden Palace, and the cultivation techniques, spirit pills, etc., are precisely what Lu Xiao Yun urgently needs now.
"Let’s go; he should be resting on the Dragon Boat. We will go directly there to find him."
The Crown Prince urged, speeding up, and Elder Li quickly followed.
Group Dragon Island.
After the duel between Luo Feng and Lu Xiao Yun ended, the contest continued.
With Lu Xiao Yun giving up the title of the top ten new dragons and leaving Group Dragon Island, there were significant changes in the ranking of the top ten new dragons.
Luo Feng replaced Lu Xiao Yun, advancing to the third position among the top ten new dragons. The contestants behind all advanced one rank accordingly; Yan Hu moved from the eleventh to the tenth position, and Ling Qingwu moved from twenty-first to the twentieth, securing her place in the top twenty.
In the following match, He Qin challenged Yue Haitang.
Both had similar styles and had comprehended Sword Intent. He Qin’s Icy Snow Sword Intent could freeze the martial artist’s Yuan Qi, causing even the air to solidify with a single swing;
While Yue Haitang’s Sword Intent could not only amplify his sword momentum but also affect the sword momentum of other swordsmen.
The two were well-matched, and the battle was so evenly contested that their figures vanished entirely under the surging Sword Qi across the platform.
After more than six hundred moves, Yue Haitang managed to approach within three feet of He Qin with the exquisite Phantom Mirage Step and narrowly won, while at the same time, He Qin’s sword was only half a foot away from him.
Next, Yang Wanyi challenged Lin Hongyi.
Yang Wanyi’s Daluo Burning Demon Art was fierce and domineering, with a wave of her hand unleashing endless Yuan Qi flames. When combined with the Emperor Heart Sky-Burning Flame, every move had the might of destroying heaven and earth.
Lin Hongyi’s Golden Jade God Form Skill embodied the intent realm of a mountain, boasting incredible defensive power. Blended with the great momentum of the Great Achievement Realm, she appeared to transform into a precarious hundred-foot peak made of gold and jade, stabilizing all directions, with an aura of absolute lethality contained within, unstoppable.
Every time the two clashed, it released a deafening boom, violently shaking the entire Ascending Dragon Platform. The spectators were left in stunned silence, even worried that the main island might not withstand the impact from their clashes and would collapse. They were amazed that such immense power was hidden within the seemingly delicate bodies of these two.
This was a battle of extreme offense against extreme defense; whoever could endure until the end would be the victor.
With the Emperor Heart Sky-Burning Flame replenishing her Fire Yuan Qi, Yang Wanyi grew stronger with each fight. After two hundred moves, a palm strike shattered Lin Hongyi’s momentum, and even the Gold and Jade Colored Glaze Body almost broke, securing victory.
"Truly formidable, if I didn’t know their cultivation levels, I would’ve thought it was True Yuan Realm martial artists exchanging blows."
"Yes. Yang Wanyi, in both appearance and strength, is exceptional and is the young leader of the Business Alliance. She’s truly a daughter of heaven. If I could gain her favor, I would gladly trade ten years of my life."
"You may be willing, but she isn’t. I’ve heard that Yang Wanyi and Luo Feng supposedly have a marriage agreement. If you wish to win her favor, you must first ask Luo Feng."
"Is that so? Then never mind, I intend to live a few more years."
"Speaking of Luo Feng, he truly is formidable. In the Spiritual Rotation Realm, he defeated two True Yuan Realm martial artists consecutively. Lu Xiao Yun was not a match either, and among the new geniuses, none can compare. Even compared to those prodigies from great dynasties, he doesn’t fall short. It’s a pity his cultivation level is low; otherwise, he could threaten Jian Wuji and compete for the first new dragon position."
"Jian Wuji’s strength is evident; even Yu Bufan couldn’t withstand one of his strokes. Luo Feng likely won’t court disaster. Now, the only person he could challenge is Yu Bufan; it’s just uncertain if he will."
"Oh, look, Luo Feng is on the Ascending Dragon Platform!"
Luo Feng’s appearance immediately stirred a massive uproar on the entire Group Dragon Island, wave after wave, causing waves to rise on the sea’s surface.
Everyone was convinced that Luo Feng was definitely going to challenge Yu Bufan.
Although Yu Bufan was defeated by Jian Wuji, no one would underestimate him. He was originally a Martial Artist in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm first tier, and he had cultivated the earth-grade cultivation technique, Three Day Sun Exposure Skill, to the ninth tier, which allowed him to burn his blood Qi to enhance his strength.
It can be said that below the second tier of the True Yuan Realm, few could threaten Yu Bufan. He lost to Jian Wuji only because Jian Wuji was too abnormal, but his own strength definitely qualified him to sit in the second position of the Top Ten New Dragons.
As for Luo Feng, people didn’t dare to look down on him even more.
Since the beginning of the New Dragon List Tournament, he has been the most dazzling star. In the ranking matches, he swept through with unmatched fervor, revealing multiple trump cards, defeating two True Yuan Realm experts across levels, and remaining undefeated so far. His strength can only be described as unfathomable; his prominence only slightly less than Jian Wuji, equal to Yu Bufan.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating the battle between the two.
Yu Bufan looked at Luo Feng with a solemn expression.
If it were before, he certainly wouldn’t have regarded Luo Feng seriously, but now it’s different. Defeating a Martial Artist from the True Yuan Realm once can be seen as luck, but doing it twice consecutively is definitely beyond mere good fortune.
Luo Feng swept his gaze over Yu Bufan and quickly moved past, finally stopping on Jian Wuji: "I challenge Jian Wuji."
"What? The person Luo Feng challenges is actually Jian Wuji!"
"Having seen the battle between Jian Wuji and Yu Bufan, he still has the courage to challenge."
"Does he think Yu Bufan isn’t worth a fight?"
The moment Luo Feng spoke, all of Group Dragon Island was shocked, with voices rising and falling, filled with surprise, excitement, and doubt.
"He really did it..."
Shui Linglong’s eyes subtly brightened, showing both surprise and pride. Upon seeing Luo Feng step onto the Ascending Dragon Platform, she knew he would definitely challenge Jian Wuji. This talented young man, daring to challenge the first new dragon, is her disciple.
On the Dragon Pillar, Yu Bufan clenched both his fists tightly. Luo Feng chose not to challenge him, but directly went for Jian Wuji, clearly stating that he wasn’t even qualified to contend with him.
Amid the discussions, Jian Wuji appeared on the Ascending Dragon Platform, standing thirty steps away from Luo Feng.
Before either made a move, a commanding aura swept across Group Dragon Island, causing the clamor to gradually weaken.
Jian Wuji stood with a sword at his waist, his posture upright, exuding an air of nobility. His eyes held a sense of superiority as he looked at Luo Feng.
"It’s quite impressive that you could defeat Lu Xiao Yun. Unfortunately, your judgment is poor, lacking self-awareness."
Luo Feng naturally deciphered the underlying meaning of Jian Wuji’s words, his gaze calm and unruffled, he responded coldly: "Whether I lack self-awareness, we’ll see."
Jian Wuji’s pupils contracted, his gaze sharp, his clothes moving without wind, "Hope you qualify for me to draw my sword."
"You will."
"Enough talk, let’s fight!"
Before the words fell, a fierce intent arose from Jian Wuji’s body, and he pointed with joined fingers.
Swish!
The concentrated sword light in the air resembled a venomous snake in water, instantly reaching Luo Feng, radiating coldness, making one’s scalp numb.
Luo Feng had no thought of underestimating Jian Wuji, immediately activating the Demon Form Technique to the extreme. Instantly, the demon Qi of the python surged into the sky, vast and mighty, like a great river rushing forth.
"Slash!"
Clang!
The violent saber aura and sword Qi collided, Qi force scattered, from afar, it looked like an intense meteor shower fell upon the platform, creating pits all over the ground.
Thud!
The saber aura broke, Luo Feng was forced back nearly a hundred meters by the sword Qi, his blood boiling.
"Indeed, only using the Demon Form Technique, facing a late-stage Martial Artist of the True Yuan Realm first tier is still somewhat forced." After the exchange, Luo Feng immediately assessed Jian Wuji’s strength.
"Fall, Ruthless Sword Qi!"
Jian Wuji was expressionless, looking at Luo Feng as though assessing a lamb to be slaughtered. He unleashed the sword move used against Yu Bufan, using his finger as a sword, pointing out. The sword Qi brimming with killing intent shot toward Luo Feng, far sharper and more fierce than before.
"Break!"
Luo Feng’s gaze tightened as he pushed the True Yuan Dragon Pulse in his Dantian to the extreme. Amid the dragon’s roar, he stepped forward, slashing out the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, with a domineering and violent momentum.
Boom!
As the blade struck down, the surrounding space slightly trembled, seeming to crack the void, the destructive aura contained in the saber light surged, causing the spectators to involuntarily gasp.
Bang!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a nearly two-zhang high saber light suddenly tore through the sword Qi, its momentum unwaning, crushed toward Jian Wuji.
Clang!
The sword light shone, a fierce sword momentum suddenly erupted; the saber light fragmented in response and dissipated into nothingness, Jian Wuji appeared before everyone, holding his treasured sword.
