"Wang Ruoxie, are you in despair now? Do you regret it? Haha..."

Yang Honglie laughed wildly toward Wang Ruoxie.

Even though he knew the consequences of consuming the Explosive Essence Pill, as long as he could kill Wang Ruoxie, it would all be worth it.

"Are you celebrating too early? If you want to kill me, your strength is not enough."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Yang Honglie with indifference and spoke.

"Facing death, you still act so arrogantly. Now, it's easy for me to kill you."

Yang Honglie sneered coldly and said.

"Have you finished talking? If so, make your move."

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly and replied.

"Courting death."

As Yang Honglie's words fell, an incredibly terrifying aura swept forth from him.

"Although consuming the Explosive Essence Pill comes with severe consequences, with Yang Honglie's current cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, he might be able to slay Wang Ruoxie."

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Yang Honglie, the crowd's gazes sharpened.

Even though they knew Yang Honglie's cultivation realm had only temporarily risen to the Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, the strength he could unleash would undoubtedly be several times greater than before.

"This is troublesome."

Xiao Ningyue and Tang Miaoyin's eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of concern.

"Wang Ruoxie is doomed."

Tang Liren and Qin Heng both sneered, hoping for Wang Ruoxie's death.

At this moment, almost everyone believed that Wang Ruoxie was undoubtedly doomed.

Although Wang Ruoxie had easily defeated Yang Honglie before, now that Yang Honglie had raised his cultivation to the Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, the outcome would certainly be completely reversed.

"Sword like a Wandering Dragon."

Yang Honglie roared and then slashed toward Wang Ruoxie.

Instantly, a True Dragon apparition several tens of meters long formed and condensed in the space.

Dragon roars resounded, and dragon might was vast and mighty. Though the True Dragon apparition was formed from Sword Qi, it seemed like a True Dragon.

Moreover, with the same move, this True Dragon apparition's body was several times larger than before, and its power far exceeded before.

Facing the True Dragon apparition, several times stronger than before, Wang Ruoxie's expression remained utterly calm. His eyes suddenly transformed into Blood Eyes, and instantly, everything around him imprinted clearly in his mind, as if the speed of that True Dragon apparition had slowed down countless times.

In the next moment, his figure suddenly moved, and at the same time, the longsword in his hand stabbed toward the True Dragon apparition.

"Ignorant."

Yang Honglie snorted coldly. The power of the True Dragon formed by this sword was already comparable to a full-strength strike from the Ninth Layer peak of Element Transformation Realm; even someone at the same Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm couldn't easily withstand it.

However, at this moment, Wang Ruoxie's sword utterly shattered the True Dragon apparition, and the force of the longsword continued unstoppably toward Yang Honglie.

"Not good..."

Yang Honglie's face changed drastically, and his figure retreated.

"Destruction Technique, kill!"

A gleam of sword light flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes as he spoke with chilling murderous intent.

As his words fell, his figure instantly transformed into an illusion.

With the Cloud Soaring Step, Wang Ruoxie's figure appeared in front of Yang Honglie in an instant, followed by a piercing sword strike.

"Slash!"

With a soft sound, the longsword in Wang Ruoxie's hand directly pierced through Yang Honglie's body.

"Pfft..."

Yang Honglie spat out a mouthful of blood, eyes filled with terror.

He hadn't expected that even after paying a great price and forcefully raising his cultivation to the Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm with the Explosive Essence Pill, he still couldn't match Wang Ruoxie.

The onlookers below the battle platform were also utterly incredulous, unable to believe their eyes. How could this be?

Even with only Seventh Layer Element Transformation Realm cultivation, Wang Ruoxie's power was terrifying enough to easily defeat Yang Honglie, whose cultivation had been raised to the Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm.

"Roar!"

Yang Honglie let out an angry roar, exuding an even wilder aura, and swung a palm at Wang Ruoxie, carrying a fearsome power that seemed capable of destroying everything.

Wang Ruoxie's figure swiftly retreated, cutting out with a sword that shattered the palm seal, and then in an instant, the longsword chopped off Yang Honglie's arm, which fell to the ground.

"Ah!"

Yang Honglie screamed, with copious blood gushing from the severed arm.

"It's over for Yang Honglie."

The crowd sighed inwardly, feeling that Yang Honglie's strength was already inferior to Wang Ruoxie. Now, having lost an arm, it's impossible for him to contend further.

"You dare to sever my arm."

Yang Honglie, pale as a sheet, stared fixedly at Wang Ruoxie, hatred deep in his eyes.

"I not only dare to sever your arm but also dare to kill you."

Wang Ruoxie sneered and once again slashed a sword at Yang Honglie.

The peerlessly sharp Sword Qi radiated out, unstoppable.

Feeling the terrifying power contained in the Sword Qi, Yang Honglie was filled with horror and immediately dared not linger, his figure retreating rapidly, trying to evade this strike.

However, the speed of the Sword Qi was unimaginably fast, instantly reaching and landing directly on Yang Honglie's chest.

"Ah..."

Came another scream as Yang Honglie's body fell hard to the ground.

Wow!

Wang Ruoxie's body trembled slightly as he came in front of Yang Honglie, looking at him coldly.

"Yang Honglie, you have attempted to kill me time and again. Today, I shall take your life."

An icy voice escaped Wang Ruoxie's mouth.

"I..."

Anxiously Yang Honglie opened his mouth, ready to admit defeat; he certainly didn't want to die.

Even if his cultivation falls to the Seventh Layer of Element Transformation Realm and he loses an arm, he still didn't want to die.

Cultivation could be regained through training; even a severed arm could be reborn, but if life were lost, everything would be gone.

But how could Wang Ruoxie give Yang Honglie a chance to admit defeat? Before he could finish his words, Wang Ruoxie's sword suddenly thrust forward.

The brilliant sword light flashed fleetingly, trailing a blood arrow.

A blood hole appeared on Yang Honglie's throat, with blood continuously gushing out.

Filled with immense unwillingness, Yang Honglie slowly closed his eyes, ceasing to breathe.

Witnessing this scene, the crowd's eyes trembled slightly, sighing inwardly.

Both were true disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect, yet Wang Ruoxie mercilessly killed Yang Honglie.

Zhou Wenzhi, the Vice Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect, wore a bitter expression at this moment. The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect were fighting amongst themselves, leading to the death of a once-in-a-generation true disciple.

"Useless scum, wasting my Explosive Essence Pill."

Tang Liren inwardly cursed; the value of the Explosive Essence Pill far exceeded an ordinary Third Grade Pill and could even rival a Fourth Grade Pill, but only at an enormous cost.

This Explosive Essence Pill was something he obtained during his travels in the Eastern Domain, nearly depleting most of his life's savings.

At this time, two more individuals ascended the battle platform, one from the Cloud Heaven Sect's true disciples and the other from the Cyan Luo Sect's true disciples.

Though both were at the Fifth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, their strengths were clearly not on the same level.

After just a few exchanges, the Cloud Heaven Sect's true disciple easily defeated the Cyan Luo Sect's true disciple.
