Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

BAM!

Jing Xuan’s body went flying. He stumbled back several steps before finally coming to a stop.

He subconsciously touched his face, a searing pain shooting through it. He had been completely stunned by the slap!

’So overbearing!’

The eyes of the crowd below narrowed. They never expected Ye Wushuang to slap Jing Xuan directly, sending him flying off the battle stage.

”Lady Xiangg, that’s Young Master Ye!”

Guo Yurong stared at the figure on the stage, then turned to Lady Xiangg, her expression one of delight!

Lady Xiangg’s beautiful eyes had already shifted to Ye Wushuang. She shed her languid posture and smiled faintly. ”What an overbearing man. But... he’s grown even stronger!”

”Ye Wushuang!”

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Qian Heng was also staring at the stage, his eyes veiled with hatred and killing intent.

”I will avenge my son. Just you wait.” His furious, teeth-grinding whisper was lost in the noise of the crowd.

”He was already stepping down! Why did you still have to injure him? Ye Wushuang, do you think the Jing Family is easy to bully?”

On the Jing Family’s side, Jing Hui’s fists clenched with a CRACK, his eyes flashing with malice and murderous intent.

”Bully me? I got on stage, and he couldn’t even utter a word of surrender. Wasn’t he trying to bully me then?”

Ye Wushuang stared at Jing Hui and said coldly, ”Besides, if you’re not convinced, get up here yourself. I will be happy to oblige!”

Not convinced? Then get up here!

The challenge was thrown, and Jing Hui’s eyes froze. ’Ye Wushuang wants to challenge me?’

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from Jing Hui’s body, causing those nearby to tremble. ’So strong!’

However, a moment later, Jing Hui retracted his aura.

If he fought Ye Wushuang now, it would be a case of the snipe and the clam grappling while the fisherman reaps the rewards. He would lose his chance to compete for the final prize.

That was an outcome he was unwilling to see.

”Ye Wushuang, I, Jing Hui, came here to fulfill the Great Emperor’s two requirements and marry the Princess. My loyalty to the Princess is absolute. I am not a man of divided loyalties. But you? Standing on the stage of this martial contest... where does that leave the Princess? What right do you have to marry her?”

Jing Hui spoke coldly, heavily emphasizing his ”loyalty to the Princess.” His words were a sharp accusation aimed directly at Ye Wushuang.

Seeing this, Zong Shuai and the others were disappointed.

They had hoped to use Jing Hui to test Ye Wushuang’s limits, or at least see them both suffer heavy losses. But Jing Hui had defused the situation and even turned it into an attack on Ye Wushuang.

Immediately, the eyes of the others flashed. Seizing the opportunity, Zong Shuai also spoke up, ”Ye Wushuang, since you want to marry Lady Xiangg, you are not qualified to compete with us for the Princess’s hand. Therefore, please hand over the Moon God Flower in your possession.”

”That’s right! Hand over the Moon God Flower! You’re not qualified to participate in the assessment!”

”Hand over the Moon God Flower!”

...

A group of people began to denounce him.

This left the people from Celestial Pass scratching their heads. How had Ye Wushuang become public enemy number one in the blink of an eye?

”Hand over the Moon God Flower?”

Ye Wushuang sneered. ”I risked life and limb to obtain this. You think you can make me hand it over with just a few words? By what right?”

Ye Wushuang questioned them, his gaze fixed on Jing Hui as he asked coldly, ”Besides, the Princess herself hasn’t said a word about my qualifications. What right do you have to say I have none? And another thing—who I marry is none of your damn business!”

His every word exploded through the sea of people.

’What an incredibly domineering man!’

The crowd’s eyes went rigid. They stared blankly at Ye Wushuang. ’Could it be? Is this guy planning to marry both Lady Xiangg and the Princess?’

If that were true, one had to admit, it was incredibly domineering!

Whether it was Lady Xiangg or the Princess, both were extraordinary women. To win even one of them would be the blessing of a lifetime. To have them both... the crowd dared not even imagine it!

Hearing Ye Wushuang’s question, Jing Hui’s expression stiffened. He suddenly realized he had no rebuttal. Who Ye Wushuang wanted to marry really was none of his damn business!

Whether he was qualified or not was for His Majesty the Great Emperor and the Princess to decide. What right did he have to say anything?

”Insolence!”

Qian Heng stepped out from the crowd and rebuked him coldly, ”Arrogant fool! This is King Xiangg’s Mansion! This is the contest for Lady Xiangg’s hand, not a stage for your games to win the Princess! What do you take our Lady for? For such an offense, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!”

Qian Heng sneered inwardly. ’This is the perfect moment to put Ye Wushuang in a fatal position. As long as I can make Lady Xiangg angry, Ye Wushuang won’t leave here alive today.’

”My Lady, this man is causing a disturbance! He clearly has no respect for you...”

Qian Heng was about to say more, but to his astonishment, Lady Xiangg simply leaned back languidly again. With narrowed eyes, she uttered, ”This is a martial contest to win my hand. Stepping onto the stage means accepting the challenge. I don’t want to hear about anything else. Continue.”

”My Lady!”

Qian Heng was stunned. He never thought Lady Xiangg wouldn’t mind at all!

He wanted to protest, but he found that Lady Xiangg was completely ignoring him.

In that instant, he felt like a buffoon. His face flushed with anger and embarrassment as he shut his mouth.

Dragon King, Dongfang Youdi, and the others all wore thoughtful expressions. At the very least, they didn’t believe Lady Xiangg was good-tempered.

”Hmph! I’ll be the one to test your skills!”

In half a breath, a figure flew up from the crowd. It was a young man at the Profound Level, his aura incredibly powerful!

BOOM!

The moment he arrived, a world-toppling Fist Seal, wrapped in Vast True Essence, blasted toward Ye Wushuang from across the stage.

”Get down!”

Ye Wushuang barked coldly. He thrust out a hand, and the blood-red Heavenly Concealing Hand, which seemed capable of suppressing the very heavens, slapped the young man away.

With a loud BOOM!

A violent aura swept out, forcing the terrified onlookers below to retreat more than a dozen steps!

”I’ll go!”

Another figure charged up, but with a single slap, he too was sent flying back down.

SLAP!

SLAP!

Ye Wushuang was simply slapping everyone away, leaving the crowd speechless. ’Is he planning to just slap his way to the end of the contest?!’

Below, Nanbei shook his head. ’Unless a Celestial Pride makes a move, who can possibly stop Ye Wushuang? Going up there is just asking for a beating!’

”Interesting. He’s quite strong!”

In the crowd, a sinister smile flickered across the face of a man in black robes. His eyes were an unnatural blood-red, like those of a beast, carrying a hint of bloodlust and ferocity.

BOOM!

The moment the words fell, he had already stepped onto the battle stage.

Instantly, Lady Xiangg’s eyes snapped open, a cold glint flashing within them.

Dragon King and the others also stared at this person, somewhat shocked. ’This person’s aura... it’s so strong!’

”From the Beastman Empire, Mor Yan. I’ve come to test your skills!”

The black-robed youth gave a wicked smile as he stared at Ye Wushuang, speaking with utter confidence.

”Someone from the Beastman Empire!”

Hearing this, the people of King Xiangg City erupted in fury. ”You animal from the Beastman Empire, get down from there immediately! This is not a place for your kind to run wild!”

If one were to ask who hated the Beastman Empire the most, it would have to be the people of Celestial Pass.

The armies of the Beastman Empire constantly slaughtered the people of Celestial Pass, tearing countless families apart. Every single person there hated them to the bone.

”Didn’t Lady Xiangg just say it? Stepping onto the stage means accepting the challenge, and nothing else matters. What, are you all afraid of losing to me?”

”Or is it that your Grand Emperor Country has no one left? So scared you don’t even dare to accept my challenge?”

Mor Yan gave a cold smile, his gaze sweeping over the Celestial Prides like Dragon King and Mo Wentian with intense provocation.

”Are you done with your nonsense?”

Just then, a cold voice sounded from behind Mor Yan.
