In the sky, that massive ancient beasts's four enormous claws had already crawled out of the seal, its body erupting with a desolate aura from the ancient times, and a pair of blood-red eyes filled with ice-cold killing intent. It stared intently at Chu Mo on the arena below, its mouth wide open revealing sharp teeth, as copious amounts of viscous saliva dripped down from the beast's mouth.

Aooo!

Another roar, sounding like thunder.

At the edge of the arena, Lord Hongyue stood silently, showing no intention of intervening.

In the stands, a faint ripple of emotion surfaced in Long Qiushui's eyes.

It was an expression of vindication!

If previously he had only looked down on Chu Mo with disdain, now, he despised him intensely.

Because he was very clear about the kind of reputation he would gain after this battle.

Just a moment ago, he certainly could have stopped Zhang Shuangshuang and asked her to admit defeat. But if he did that, his supreme artifact... the Mountain and River Treasure Fan, would inevitably fall into Chu Mo's hands!

In front of Lord Hongyue, he didn't dare harbor any other thoughts.

He was unwilling!

The Mountain and River Treasure Fan was of significant meaning to him, and he had never even considered losing it as a gamble.

What was most important was that under no circumstances... did he want to lose to a country bumpkin from the Mortal Realm!

If the person he was gambling with had been Huang Wushuang, or even Liu Feng, then a loss would have been just that—a loss, without such lack of grace. But a rural bumpkin, a person from a backwater—Chu Mo... No!

Now, if Lord Hongyue didn't intervene, he believed Chu Mo was doomed to die without a doubt!

Given Lord Hongyue's status, it was impossible for her to interfere in such a battle.

Die!

Die!

Die!

Cold yet gratified light shone in Long Qiushui's eyes.

By his side, Tong Ying looked unwillingly at the young man who still knelt there.

He shouldn't die!

A flicker of pity and regret passed through Tong Ying's eyes. A young man who had risen step by step from the Mortal Realm should not die in such a place. He should have had a better future ahead of him.

But Tong Ying was powerless to stop it. Especially since, in the eyes of others, she was still considered to be on Long Qiushui's side.

Huang Wushuang's eyes twinkled with complex light as he watched the scene unfold. He was powerless to intervene, and he didn't want to intervene. Chu Mo's performance had far exceeded his expectations. If Chu Mo were to die in this fight, he would feel a hint of regret, but not much else.

Because Huang Wushuang already considered Chu Mo as a rival on his level, a danger perhaps even greater than Long Qiushui!

Liu Feng frowned, staring anxiously at the unmoving Chu Mo on the arena, looking towards Lord Hongyue as well.

Isn't Chu Mo supposed to call you Auntie? If that's the case, why aren't you stopping this fight? From the moment Zhang Shuangshuang continued to attack, this fight... had already lost its fairness! Why not stop it?

Hu Lie, however, didn't care about that, and shouted loudly, "This is unfair! This fight is unfair!"

By Long Qiushui's side, Zhao Dongming was grinding his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot, his heart seething with rage: "Fight has never been about fairness!"

That statement seemed to respond to Hu Lie, but at the same time... it seemed to be a venting of something else.

Long Qiushui didn't even glance at Zhao Dongming, still sitting there as composed as a mountain.

The woman in the white dress, Yue Qingcheng, already had tears streaming down her face, and even closed her eyes, not wanting to see the young man, who had been kind to her, devoured by the ancient beast.

Throughout the stands, gasps of shock echoed continuously, and by this point, there was silence.

Everyone... was waiting to see what would happen next.

Clang!

Chu Mo suddenly straightened up, the Heaven Slaying sword in his hand flying out on its own, emitting an astonishing hum.

Then, without any fanfare... he directly charged towards the ancient beast that had fully emerged!

Thump.

The moment the ancient beast completely crawled out, Zhang Shuangshuang's body went limp, collapsing onto the arena.

She instantly passed out.

"Shuangshuang!" Zhao Dongming cried out in grief.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to him anymore. Because everyone's gaze was fixed on the sword that flew out on its own and was slashing towards the ancient beast!

Boom!

An earth-shattering intent to kill burst forth from the sword.

This murderous aura instantly broke through the barrier set up by Lord Hongyue!

Even the arena barrier that could be manipulated freely by the emperor was directly shattered by the killing intent released by Heaven Slaying!

Everyone in the stands, including young lords like Long Qiushui and Huang Wushuang, felt an unparalleled murderous pressure bearing down on them!

Those with slightly weaker cultivation instantly spat out blood.

Even young lords like Huang Wushuang, Long Qiushui, and Liu Feng couldn't help but shiver violently all over.

"Not good!" Lord Hongyue suddenly cried out, a profound and obscure Dao energy burst from her body, instantly sealing the endless killing intent unleashed by Heaven Slaying.

Then she began to form hand seals with both hands, resealing the arena!

It was only for an instant, but it gave everyone the feeling of having narrowly escaped from the gates of hell. They were scared half to death.

At that moment, looking back at the arena, the uncontrolled Heaven Slaying, shining with dazzling brilliance, split the ancient giant beast, which had paused in the void, not daring to move, in two.

Then, as if venting, the blade light flashed wildly, chopping the ancient giant beast to pieces!

"Psychic artifact!" Long Qiushui stood up abruptly, staring at the sword in the arena with a dazed look, he exclaimed, "This is... an artifact... a legendary... artifact!"

The gigantic creature, resembling a crocodile, was hacked to pieces by Heaven Slaying, its glow not even managing to return to the seal. It was completely extinguished!

However... that wasn't the end!

Once more, radiant brilliance erupted from the blade of Heaven Slaying, the light carrying with it the boundless aura of the Great Dao.

At the edge of the arena, Lord Hongyue looked up in shock because she found that the Dao energy bursting forth from Heaven Slaying was completely overpowering her own Dao!

And it wasn't just a slight suppression... it was very complete, very thorough!

But this time, Heaven Slaying did not let this energy burst through the barrier set up by Lord Hongyue. As if highly sentient, it firmly controlled the energy.

Then—

It slashed at the seal hanging above the arena.

It aimed to destroy this supreme artifact!

The supreme artifact, also possessing considerable sentience, let out a mournful cry in that moment and seemed to want to flee, but was completely suppressed by the energy erupted from Heaven Slaying. It couldn't move an inch!

Clang!

Crack!

That Four Beasts Seal was directly split in two by Heaven Slaying.

Roar!

Roar!

Two beast roars thundered forth.

The remaining two ancient beasts broke through the seal and burst out.

However, before they could make any move, Heaven Slaying flew over and decapitated both ancient beasts.

Boom!

The heads of the ancient beasts fell onto the arena, making an earth-shattering sound.

From their headless gigantic bodies, blood spurted out like a river of blood.

The arena was instantly dyed red.

In Lord Hongyue's eyes, filled with shock, she looked up at the still-hovering Heaven Slaying in the sky, like a sovereign. She sighed quietly, summoned Zhang Shuangshuang over to her side, and slowly said, "This battle, Zhang Shuangshuang lost, does anyone object?"

All around, there was complete silence.
