107: Two Spiritual Emperors! Just two swords!

It was simply due to a Sword Qi strike.

He truly couldn't block this Sword Qi.

Facing the Sword Qi, his boundless Killing Intent from just a moment ago seemed to turn into paper, utterly incapable of resisting.

"Get out of the way!"

At the critical moment, Sixth Elder Xu Cheng arrived.

He gripped a black long spear in his right hand, its tip igniting a surrounding inferno of flames, which finally dispelled the Sword Qi in mid-air.

But this Sword Qi!

Xu Cheng could feel that it was merely a casual strike from Liu Ran.

Yet, such a casual strike required his full power to resist.

"Li Huanhuan, aren't you going to make a move?"

Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and shouted.

If one Spirit Emperor wasn't enough, then two Spirit Emperors would have to be deployed.

"Understood!"

Li Huanhuan's voice rang out, and she transformed into a series of phantoms, arriving at the battlefield.

She couldn't escape now even if she wanted to.

Yang Yucheng and she had signed a contract, and it was a one-sided contract!

Yang Yucheng could control her life and death; if she fled now, she would face a fate worse than death, suffering immensely. Moreover, in Li Huanhuan's eyes...

While Liu Ran was strong, he might not necessarily be a match for Yang Yucheng.

If the two of them could perish together, that would truly be a good thing for her.

Such a good thing!

Li Huanhuan naturally wanted to witness it with her own eyes.

"A Spirit Emperor Elder from Jade Maiden Palace?"

"And now she's been subdued by Yang Yucheng and brought under his command! How interesting! However, an Early Stage Spirit Emperor Elder is probably still no match for me."

As he spoke!

Liu Ran unleashed another sword strike; this time, it was Sword Light, not Sword Qi.

And this time!

Li Huanhuan and Sixth Elder Xu Cheng had to combine their efforts to neutralize this attack, preventing injury.

But with just these two sword strikes!

He had already defeated all the top-tier experts on Yang Yucheng's side.

The disparity between the two sides became strikingly clear in an instant.

"Yang Yucheng, aren't you going to make a move?"

In the mid-air, where blood splattered and Killing Intent permeated the area.

Liu Ran finally stopped.

He smiled coldly, "If you don't come out soon, I'm afraid your Divine Phoenix Guard and those beside you will all be slaughtered by me today!"

"Still planning to hide?"

"Why hide?"

Just as everyone around was on the verge of despair, Yang Yucheng finally appeared.

Everyone's faces lit up with excitement.

Because the person they had been waiting for had finally arrived.

"You actually dare to come out? Are you really not afraid of death?"

Liu Ran asked with a surprised laugh.

Yang Yucheng didn't answer his question, instead asking another.

"I'm more curious!

"If I weren't injured right now, would you, a Northern Region Sword Dao Expert, dare to come? Or is it only when I'm injured that you, Liu Ran, the Third Master of Xuantian Sword Sect and the dual supremacy of book and sword, dare to come here and act so fiercely?"

"If that's truly the case, then this Sword Dao Expert has truly become like a Scholar."

"A Scholar is useless, and even more so, a Scholar is faithless."

Yang Yucheng's words carried a hint of mockery.

"Heh!"

Liu Ran frowned, letting out a cold laugh.

He narrowed his eyes, looking directly at Yang Yucheng, "Your strength is indeed not to be underestimated. If you were at full power, I truly would be a little wary."

"But now you will die! No one believes what a dead person says, nor do they listen."

Liu Ran lightly flicked his sleeve, and a golden light flashed in his hand.

The sharp sword that had just slain so many members of the Divine Phoenix Guard was held before his chest, swaying slightly. It didn't look like how a typical Sword Cultivator would treat his Magic Treasure.

It was as if Liu Ran cared more about his identity as a Scholar than his identity as a Cultivator.

"Actually, I'm also curious, Yang Yucheng, why didn't you appear at the first moment, and instead waited until nearly half of your people were dead or injured before making a move?"

"Do you truly care so little about the lives of your Subordinates?"

Liu Ran asked with another cold laugh.

His eyes were playful, filled with a scrutinizing gaze, as he looked at Yang Yucheng again, clearly employing a tactic of psychological warfare.

At the same time.

These words reached the ears of those around him.

The members of the Divine Phoenix Guard, Sixth Elder Xu Cheng, Zhang Qianchou of the giant fiery divine statue, and Li Huanhuan all couldn't help but show slight changes in their expressions.

Some things are fine unspoken, but once mentioned, they always cause people to doubt, or even plant seeds of suspicion.

Perhaps they might even take root and sprout later.

For a moment!

Everyone around looked at Yang Yucheng, waiting to see how he would respond.

"What? You can't speak, can you?"

Liu Ran spoke softly, with a hint of smugness.

"Alas!"

Yang Yucheng, however, sighed.

His expression carried a hint of exhaustion, "Who told me I was injured? The injury is quite severe! If I had acted just now, my Cultivation Technique would have reversed, and my injury would have worsened again."

"After coming out, it would have just been a needless sacrifice of my life."

"Now, I'm just strong enough to kill you."

Yang Yucheng spoke truthfully.

At this moment!

No matter how strange and unpredictable the opponent's moves, no matter how unconventional their attacks, he used only a sincere heart to completely dismantle all of their techniques.

Sometimes, sincerity truly is a decisive ultimate move.

Hearing Yang Yucheng's words, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.

Their eyes, looking at Yang Yucheng, were slightly red, showing a touching devotion, as if vowing to serve him to the death.

Liu Ran frowned.

His shaking hand, holding the long sword, swayed back and forth like flowing water.

He was truly rendered speechless by Yang Yucheng's words.

He truly hadn't expected it.

A dignified Young Supreme would surrender just like that. Although it was merely a verbal exchange, it would still have some impact on the upcoming battle.

Not a big impact.

But Young Supreme are arrogant... Liu Ran thought of this.

He looked up at Yang Yucheng and added with a smile, "You are different from all the Geniuses I've met. Not only are you stronger than all the Geniuses I've seen so far!"

"You're even more interesting. It seems I underestimated you!"

"If you lose today, I can give you a chance, a chance to live."

Liu Ran suddenly offered Yang Yucheng a way out.

Yang Yucheng, however, sighed slightly.

He had to admit.

Liu Ran was truly not someone he particularly wanted to kill since he came to this world.

Unfortunately!

Such a person was about to die.

The other party was willing to let him go, but he might not be willing to let the other party go.

"Do you know?"

"From the moment I saw you, I dared not show any contempt. A Northern Region Sword Dao Expert is, after all, someone to be taken seriously. So, from then until now, the human emperor banner in my hand has already been activated!"
