The outcome of the battle between Wang Ruoxie and Zhang Chong shocked everyone.

Whether it was the higher-ups of various major powers, or the Sovereign Tang Xuanyi, even Zhou Wenzhi, Tang Miaoyin, Xiao Ningyue, and others from the Celestial Sword Sect were all incredibly astonished one by one.

As for those from the Beast Taming Sect, naturally, they wished to kill him at all costs.

Although Zhang Chong wasn't the strongest among them, he had a chance to rank within the top twenty of the Hidden Dragon List, but now he was killed by Wang Ruoxie.

Qin Heng, Qiu Yao, Ruan Junhao, and others looked at Wang Ruoxie with a hint of fear in their eyes.

"Next match, Xiao Ningyue versus Lu Yu."

At this moment, Nie Cang's voice slowly echoed.

"Ningyue, it's your turn."

Wang Ruoxie smiled at Xiao Ningyue and said.

Xiao Ningyue smiled and nodded, then lifted her foot and walked onto the battle platform.

Hearing Wang Ruoxie call Xiao Ningyue in such a manner, a cold gleam of killing intent flashed in Tang Liren's eyes.

Xiao Ningyue's opponent Lu Yu was a young man about eighteen years old, seemingly the direct descendant of the century-old Lu Family.

"Beautiful lady, although I, Lu Yu, also cherish jade and beauty, I cannot give you the win for the sake of promotion."

Lu Yu smiled at Xiao Ningyue and said, "However, I don't want to hurt you. Why not just admit defeat voluntarily?"

In his view, although his talent was inferior to Xiao Ningyue, with his cultivation at the peak of the Eighth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, defeating her wouldn't be difficult.

"I don't need you to concede."

Xiao Ningyue responded lightly, causing the smile on Lu Yu's face to freeze slightly.

"Since that's the case, forgive me."

As Lu Yu's words fell, his figure suddenly rushed out, transforming into several afterimages, instantly appearing in front of Xiao Ningyue.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yu swung a palm toward Xiao Ningyue, and a flame burst forth from his hand, seemingly to burn everything.

"Extinguish!"

A cold voice slowly emerged from Xiao Ningyue's mouth.

Instantly, the entire space suddenly chilled, as if frost and snow were falling between heaven and earth.

The next moment, the flame released by Lu Yu was directly frozen there, then fell to the ground and shattered into ice debris.

Subsequently, a thick layer of cold ice quickly spread across the battle platform, and even the surrounding space seemed to freeze.

Everyone near the battle platform felt a chilling cold permeating their bodies, even covering some in a thin layer of ice.

"Terrifying coldness."

Everyone shivered in their hearts; even they were nearly frozen, so one could imagine the horrifying coldness Lu Yu directly facing Xiao Ningyue was enduring.

"I admit defeat."

Feeling the terrifying cold invading him, Lu Yu's face changed drastically; after intense struggle in his heart, he ultimately chose to admit defeat voluntarily.

Because he knew very well that once swallowed by this coldness, he would undoubtedly die.

As Lu Yu's words fell, the coldness in the space vanished instantly.

Xiao Ningyue directly turned around and walked off the battle platform.

Looking at Xiao Ningyue's back, Lu Yu's expression alternated between blue and white, recalling his earlier words, which seemed rather ridiculous.

"Embarrassing, just now he said to let others admit defeat voluntarily, but he himself admitted defeat without a real fight."

"He didn't lose unjustly; with Xiao Ningyue's talent, there's almost no one at the same level who can compete against her."

"Why do I feel that the coldness Xiao Ningyue released contains a power even more formidable than the Power of Cold Ice?"

Everyone showed shock and discussed fervently.

"The Power of Cold Ice cannot compare to the Extreme Yin Power. If Ningyue can fully control the Extreme Yin Power within her, perhaps even against a Half-Step Innate, she would have the power to fight."

Wang Ruoxie maintained a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself.

As time passed slowly, people continued to advance and be eliminated.

Tang Liren, Tang Miaoyin, Zong Yuzhe, Yang Honglie, Qin Heng, Qiu Yao, Ruan Junhao, and others all advanced easily.

"Next match, Wang Ruoxie versus Yang Honglie."

With Nie Cang's words, everyone turned their gaze to Wang Ruoxie and Yang Honglie, their eyes revealing peculiar colors.

Wang Ruoxie and Yang Honglie were both from the Celestial Sword Sect and True Disciples; this battle was bound to be extremely exciting.

"Be careful."

Xiao Ningyue said to Wang Ruoxie.

She naturally knew about the grievances between Wang Ruoxie and Yang Honglie and understood very well that this battle would certainly not only be about winning or losing, but could also decide life and death.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly in reply.

"Are you confident?"

Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie and asked.

"I won't lose."

Wang Ruoxie nodded with a smile.

"You'll soon find out if you lose."

Yang Honglie sneered at Wang Ruoxie, then lifted his foot and walked toward the battle platform.

No one noticed that when he took a step, Tang Liren flicked something into his hand.

Yang Honglie glanced at the item in his hand, revealing a cold smile in his eyes.

Soon, both Wang Ruoxie and Yang Honglie stepped onto the battle platform.

"It seems my luck is pretty good to meet you in this second round."

Yang Honglie looked at Wang Ruoxie coldly, speaking.

"On the contrary, your luck is truly bad."

Wang Ruoxie greeted with a faint smile.

"Today, I will take your life to avenge my second brother."

Yang Honglie said coldly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, you'll soon have the chance to join him."

Wang Ruoxie replied coldly.

"What's going on? It seems there's animosity between them?"

"This is interesting. Two True Disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect are actually going to decide life and death on this battle platform."

Hearing their dialogues filled with killing intent, many people revealed curious expressions, as if anticipating good drama.

"Sigh..."

As Vice Sect Leader of Celestial Sword Sect, Zhou Wenzhi could only sigh.

He naturally knew there was a relentless vendetta between these two; this battle would be life or death. Even if he tried to intervene, it would likely be to no avail.

Moreover, the rules of the Hidden Dragon Assembly didn't allow him to intervene, or else not only would he offend the Star Hall, but he might also provoke the Sovereign's displeasure, bringing great trouble to the Celestial Sword Sect.

"Wang Ruoxie, today is your death day; no one can save you. If you're afraid, just roll off yourself to avoid disgracing our Celestial Sword Sect."

Yang Honglie said with cold eyes toward Wang Ruoxie.

"Rest assured, I will definitely not admit defeat voluntarily, guaranteeing you a chance to avenge Yang Hongwu."

Wang Ruoxie spoke with a mocking tone; how could he not understand that Yang Honglie was clearly afraid he would concede voluntarily, so he used words to provoke him.

"I know your strength is great, but you will still die."

Yang Honglie said with a cold gaze.

Regardless, in this battle, he must kill Wang Ruoxie, or else, with his growth speed, soon he would have no hope of avenging his second brother personally.

"Done with the nonsense?"

Wang Ruoxie said coldly.

"Since you're eager to die, I'll fulfill your wish."

Yang Honglie sneered.
