154: King does not see king?

Xiao Fan, who disregarded Martial Arts etiquette, calmly walked to the spectator stands under the complex gazes of the crowd.

He wanted to enter the small throne area, but that damned power actually isolated him.

“I’ve already defeated four Myth-Grade opponents, what’s going on?”

In the end, he could only stand helplessly on the steps, looking somewhat out of place, as there were no empty seats; the three hundred thousand spectators filled the area to capacity.

The spectators suddenly felt that Yuan Emperor, standing alone on the steps, was extremely indignant and mortified, but they didn't feel any pity for him at all, and even wanted to laugh.

Xiao Fan could not leave the venue.

Because the second match was Xi He against Sun Empress.

Xi He was now known as the Divine Phoenix Empress, which was extraordinary; having the word 'Empress' in her title was no joke, as it was a title only granted to those in the Martial Emperor Realm.

But Xi He was truly too strong, so strong that it made people only want to bow down in reverence.

Her wearing a large red Phoenix robe, floating in the air, with an arrogant and disdainful look in her eyes, was too domineering.

Her aura was so powerful that she didn't seem like a human at all; in the first three matches, she instantly defeated her opponents in the blink of an eye.

In the fourth match, she almost burned her opponent to death, using only one move; that opponent was a bit foolish, very confident in his Martial Arts, and was called “Dirt Clod.”

Everyone was greatly anticipating the fifth match.

People always felt that the Divine Phoenix Empress was stronger than the Sun Empress, and the fan clubs of both sides were arguing furiously.

However, the Sun Empress's side was a bit better; losing wouldn't be a big deal, at least “we can completely crush the Divine Phoenix Empress in terms of looks!”

Who would have thought that the officials also seemed to enjoy the spectacle and arranged for these two to duel in the fifth match?

The strongest Fire of the current era was about to be decided today.

As for that Undying Fire, it had to step aside for now; it wasn't ready yet.

As soon as the two entered the arena, they immediately began fighting without a single word of nonsense, their movements so fast that the audience didn't even react.

The commentators were stunned, thinking, “Shouldn't there be a trash-talking segment?”

“Do these two have a grudge?”

All the spectators in the entire venue stared intently at the battlefield, the Sun Fire and Phoenix Emperor Fire enveloped the entire area, and the outermost protective shield glowed faintly.

This meant that if there were no protective shield, the flames of the two would have already burned out of the battlefield.

Xiao Fan's brows were tightly furrowed, because he clearly felt that Xi He had grown stronger!

Her element intensity, which was already incredibly abnormal, was even stronger than before in Tianlei City!

Indeed, no one was slacking off; everyone was Cultivating fiercely, even this Divine Incarnation.

As expected, the Sun Fire, lacking Acquired tempering, was suppressed by the Phoenix Emperor Fire, but the following scene was even more exhilarating.

Lin Xianhuo, completely wrapped in the Heavenly Rainbow Armor, held the Fire God Blade and charged forward as if her life depended on it, slashing out arcs of golden light.

Streaks of Phoenix Emperor Fire landed on her body; the Heavenly Rainbow Armor could not fully protect her, because her Realm was too low, and she could not unleash the full power of this Myth-Grade weapon.

Some flames penetrated her Physical Body, sizzling and burning, and even the half of her face not covered by the armor was already burned and festering.

But her eyes were incredibly indifferent, as if she couldn't feel the pain; there was only one thing in her eyes!

Advance!

Advance!

Advance again!

This made people's scalps tingle and filled them with dread.

“Doesn't she feel pain?”

“They all say that if you get touched by the Divine Phoenix Empress's flames, you'll be crippled even if you don't die. Is the Sun Empress directly resisting it?”

“Holy cow, she actually broke through the Phoenix Emperor Fire's defense line!?”

Xiao Fan focused his gaze; in the battlefield, the nearly twenty-meter-long golden Fire God Blade danced wildly, each strike full of rhythm and artistry.

The Sun Empress's posture at this moment did not resemble that of an Empress at all; she was more like a warrior who would never bow or retreat!

No matter how the fierce flames burned her body, she would not take a single step back!

Finally, she arrived!

She successfully got close to Xi He.

But something even more shocking to Xiao Fan appeared!

Xi He drew the Heavenly Sun Holy Sword and began to clash swords with Lin Xianhuo!

Melee?

Holy cow!

Previously, Xi He's melee ability was almost zero; how long had it been, and her sword skills were already decent?

Soon, both sword and blade flew, dropping from their hands, and the two women actually began pure Physical Body combat, with flames surging around their bodies, delivering fist-to-fist blows to each other!

After the battle in Tianlei City, Xi He deeply realized that she might not be able to rely solely on elements to conquer everything, so she began to frantically Cultivate Body Refining.

After seeing that Kong Fangxiang could make elements disappear, she became even more convinced that she must Cultivate Body Refining and could no longer be complacent!

Otherwise, it might really be as Chen Changsheng said, when Xiao Fan reaches Divine-Grade, she won't be able to defeat him!

Her pride was not just because of her identity, but more because she was powerful!

To maintain her pride, she had to constantly become stronger!

Her loose Phoenix robe suddenly transformed into a tighter-fitting garment, which looked a bit rustic but was very suitable for combat, allowing her to freely use her fists and feet!

Fist winds whistled, carrying scorching flames.

Lin Xianhuo moved forward instead of retreating; after taking a powerful punch, she also landed a punch on Xi He's face.

The battle finally ended with Lin Xianhuo collapsing heavily injured, defeated, but Xi He had a tooth knocked out, blood at the corner of her mouth, disheveled hair, and a fierce but very disheveled look in her eyes.

This battle lasted for over an hour, leaving everyone in awe.

Those women who used to say that Lin Xianhuo was useless without a man were instantly silenced.

They even felt panic, fearing that Lin Xianhuo would come to chop them with her nearly twenty-meter-long blade.

What kind of woman is so reckless?

Severe burns! Serious injuries, at least a dozen broken bones.

She was literally taking Phoenix Emperor Fire punches, and from beginning to end, she showed no expression of pain, nor did she scream; her perfect face was burned beyond recognition, but she didn't care at all, only showing incredibly sharp eyes and calm fists.

Was this still the self-righteous princess they remembered?

She must have been possessed by a ghost, right?

Yes, she must have been possessed by the Heavenly Rainbow Empress; that was definitely not Lin Xianhuo!

But unfortunately, reality slapped these unconvinced women in the face.

That was indeed Lin Xianhuo; during her time away from the Imperial Capital, she had undergone an unprecedented transformation!

In this era, burns are no longer a big deal.

With Ding Dong around, she would be mostly recovered after a day and a night of rest.

This was astounding; Ding Dong was too perfect!

She could be a healer and even provide food!

The recovered Lin Xianhuo tightly hugged Ding Dong, her face full of affection, and she even gave her a big kiss on her little cheek, while Xiao Fan chuckled beside them.

The third day was even more exciting.

The family of three all arrived at the venue; today was the battle between Ying Zheng and Ye Kuang.

Ying Zheng, codenamed Emperor, but his position was not yet stable; after everyone saw Xi He's full power in the previous match, the ranking of the strongest person was directly changed, with Xi He taking the first spot.

Ying Zheng had to demonstrate even greater power than Xi He for everyone to willingly address him as Emperor!

Because Emperor meant the strongest; he had to be the strongest of the current era for everyone to be truly convinced!

The other person, Ye Kuang, codenamed: Dragon King, the destructive power of his Divine Dragon Power was incredibly terrifying, and this Ye Kuang also acted very violently; even if his opponent surrendered, he would still beat them half to death, making everyone feel a chill down their spines.

Especially since he was also the President's grandson, would doing this really not tarnish the President's reputation?

At this moment, in the battlefield, Ying Zheng, with his sword-like brows and starry eyes, had his hands in the pockets of his tailored black suit pants; he floated quietly in the air, his dark long hair fluttering in the wind, and his golden Emperor pupils were even more heart-stopping.

Opposite him, white-haired Ye Kuang walked out; anyone with eyes could tell that his breathing was extremely rapid, and his eyes, fixed on Ying Zheng, grew increasingly excited, even somewhat crazed.

He roared hoarsely, “Ying Zheng!”

“It's been five years!!”

“Do you know how I’ve spent these five years!?”

“That hellish world brought me unparalleled tempering!”

“I’m back! Are you scared!?”

“They all say, ‘Kings do not meet Kings!’”

“So this time!”

“The one who loses will definitely be you!!”

His roar was loud, and everyone was startled, thinking, “Do these two have a grudge?”

From his words, Ye Kuang had lost to Ying Zheng once five years ago!

Now, five years later, he had returned!

But Ying Zheng remained unperturbed, calm and composed.

He just suddenly missed his childhood; back then, Ye Kuang was still very shy, timid, with rosy lips and white teeth on his tender face, very cute, a well-behaved follower, and he used to call him “Zheng Ge” too.

But his talent influenced his personality; as his talent developed, that shy child became increasingly irritable… rebellious!

Ying Zheng said helplessly, “How many times did I tell you when you were little?”

“You can joke about anything, but don’t say things like ‘Kings do not meet Kings’ in front of me…”

As his voice fell, Ying Zheng's Emperor pupils suddenly focused, and supreme golden light rose from him; all the spectators in the entire venue trembled, feeling a pressure on their Souls.

Then, Ying Zheng spoke in an undeniable, extremely indifferent voice.

“If there are Kings in this world.”

“Then it can only be I!”

As his voice fell, the battle erupted instantly!
