The Xiao Blade in Xiao Ye’s hand seemed like a sovereign king awakening, erupting with an incredibly terrifying aura, the blade cleaving through the Heavenly Dome, its power vast and mighty.

While the weapons in the hands of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Mystic Martial were all bright longswords, their Sword Light was grim, each strike chilling the Nine States.

"These three fellows also have Space Rings!" Seeing the three super geniuses wield long swords that appeared out of thin air, charging toward him, Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed.

As far as he knew, Space Rings of the Ancient Era were exceedingly rare, possessed only by some super forces. Even Shen Tu, the first genius on the West State True Dragon List, didn’t have a single Space Ring.

"These four fellows must have backgrounds unknown to ordinary people!" Xiao Ye thought to himself, then focused his mind, directly slashing out with the Xiao Blade in his hand.

Boom!

Instantly, the vast Saber Radiance, carrying a mighty force, swept away everything, piercing through the Heavenly Dome, fiercely blasting toward the three super geniuses.

The Xiao Blade was a half-step Emperor Artifact, most of its seal removed. Even though not fully restoring the grandeur of a half-step Emperor Artifact, it was far superior to ordinary Emperor Weapons, and injecting Emperor Martial Power could already unleash sharp Saber Radiance.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

However, this formidable slash from Xiao Ye couldn’t do anything to the three geniuses at all. The longswords in their hands weren’t inferior, comparable to the Emperor Weapons of later Central State, easily shattering the vast Saber Radiance.

Especially Mystic Martial, with the anomaly of the Mystic Martial Divine Beast behind him, created an immense defense, like a gigantic turtle shell, incredibly sturdy enough to withstand Xiao Ye’s Saber Radiance, making the surrounding spectator Martial Artists’ hearts surge.

"Vermilion Bird Sword Technique!"

"Xuanwu Sword Technique!"

The next moment, Vermilion Bird and Mystic Martial shouted in unison, the longswords in their hands bursting forth with scorching red and white light. Tremendous waves of force surged from them, sweeping across the All Heavens World.

The terrifying Sword Light danced, seeming to penetrate through the entire starry Universe, or like a comet shooting from beyond the heavens, striking toward Xiao Ye.

"Slaughter Storm!"

Xiao Ye likewise roared, the Slaughter Principle exploded instantly, with Slaughter Lotus blossoms interweaving in the air, releasing a grim slaughter aura, converging into a blood-red Saber Radiance Storm, ready to meet Vermilion Bird and Mystic Martial’s swordsmanship.

This was the saber technique evolved by Xiao Ye from the Storm Nine Slashes, suited to activate the Slaughter Principle, comparable to top-tier Emperor Martial Combat Techniques, powerful and uncommonly effective.

Swish! Swish!

The realm between Heaven and Earth vibrated vigorously, sharp Sword Light and unparalleled Saber Radiance shot out, transforming into a storm, spreading to the surroundings. The ground cracked open, grass debris danced, turning to powder.

Mystic Martial’s swordsmanship was stable, with a terrifying defensive power, every strike like Taishan crushing down; Vermilion Bird’s swordsmanship was filled with spiritual elements, every strike akin to a volcano exploding, full of explosiveness, causing the air temperature to climb steeply.

With Xiao Ye’s current understanding of the Slaughter Principle, even relying on the Xiao Blade to increase power, he could at most exert between Seven Stars and Eight Stars Title Emperor Martial power, completely falling behind, being pushed backward step by step, seemingly unable to withstand.

Yet, while activating the Saber Radiance with the Slaughter Principle, he also unleashed golden Blood Qi to support the Overlord Body Defense, further relying on his left hand to continually deploy Emperor-level Combat Techniques to ensure that Vermilion Bird and Mystic Martial’s remaining swordsmanship power couldn’t harm him temporarily.

Though falling behind, Xiao Ye was not anxious, keeping watch on the Azure Dragon, who had not yet made a move, just holding his longsword.

At this moment, Azure Dragon stood suspended in mid-air, his robe fluttering, seemingly searching for an opportunity.

"Very powerful weapons. Killing you, they’ll be mine!"

Azure Dragon’s eyes flared with intense fervor, he suddenly acted.

With a whispered command, the longsword in his hand thrust directly forward.

Rumble!

The longsword he held was like a Demon Sword, shattering the space, backed by the unmatched power of the Azure Dragon Divine Beast anomaly, releasing a torrent of energy, making the Sword Light vast, as if a True Dragon moved across, dragon shouts echoing through the Nine States.

"Hmph, I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time!"

Xiao Ye sneered, unfazed, stepping in the void, directly deploying the Emperor-level Body Technique, Wind and Fire Floating Steps.

Instantly, his form drifted diagonally out of the pincer attack from two geniuses, deploying Storm Nine Slashes to face Azure Dragon’s strike.

Rumble!

The terrifying Saber Radiance gathered, evolving into an immense Saber Radiance Storm, colliding with Azure Dragon’s sword strike, both simultaneously vanishing in the void.

Seeing the attack fail, Azure Dragon’s expression turned somber.

Was Xiao Ye, fighting Vermilion Bird and Mystic Martial, capable of guarding against himself as well?

Even when surrounded by Vermilion Bird and Mystic Martial, launching a sneak attack, Azure Dragon failed to deal a lethal strike to Xiao Ye, making him feel a loss of face.

"Forget it, since it’s already begun, we’ll team up with second and third brothers to kill you!"

Thinking thus, Azure Dragon flew through mid-air, directly joining the battle.

With Azure Dragon’s addition, the terrible power of the Azure Dragon Divine Beast anomaly pressed down on the All Heavens, changing the situation drastically, making Xiao Ye in grave danger.

"Hahaha, it seems you three aren’t much stronger than the White Tiger!"

Forced into continuous retreat by the swordsmanship of the three geniuses, even the golden light around him dimmed, the Overlord Body Defense shattered, blood flowing golden from Xiao Ye’s mouth, yet he laughed heartily.

He was simply probing in this showdown with the three super geniuses.

Wanting to see how much stronger they were compared to the White Tiger, he was indeed surprised by the result.

The cultivation of these three had similarly improved a realm thanks to the Holy Dragon Crystal, but their exhibited power equaled that of the White Tiger, still not achieving an Invincible Title Emperor Martial level, merely infinitely close.

"At this point, you can still laugh!"

The three super geniuses surged with killing intent, swordsmanship raging, nearly drowning Xiao Ye.

Rumble!

Facing the onslaught, Xiao Ye roared heavenward, four Emperor Realms suppressed Cang Sheng, like a volcanic eruption, unleashed boundless Emperor Martial Power, instantly merging together, channeling Fusion Imperial Martial Power into the Xiao Blade.

Instantly, the Xiao Blade exploded with radiant Divine Light, terrifying power making the three super geniuses startled, instantly reversing the decline, easily withstanding their swordsmanship.

"Indeed!"

"After my cultivation reached Emperor Martial Level 8, merging four kinds of Emperor Martial Power, I can easily crush Eight-Star Title Emperor Martials, battle Invincible Title Emperors, already stronger than any of the four including Azure Dragon."

"With the boost from the Xiao Blade, my power is even more fearsome, ranking high among Invincible Title Emperors, fearless of the three geniuses’ combined assault!"

Xiao Ye’s face bore a confident smile.

"This..."

Faces of the spectator Martial Artists displayed shock.

My heavens!

Xiao Ye managed to fend off the attacks of the three super geniuses alone?
