Outside, on the cerulean ripples in the void, the names were constantly changing.

The vast majority of people were stuck on the Fifth Layer, a few had reached the Sixth Layer, while Luo Yunfeng, Luo Tong, Ouyang Hao, and Ye Cheng had already entered the Seventh Layer!

Seeing this, the members of the Luo Family grew even more excited and smug. The closer they got to the Eighth Layer, the closer they would be to seizing the position of City Lord.

"Hahaha!"

At this thought, some of the younger Luo Family disciples couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Meanwhile, many in the crowd had already begun scheming how best to curry favor with the Luo Family, the future family of the City Lord!

But a strange phenomenon was taking place on the field. In the Ouyang Family’s camp, Ouyang Badao and the others remained silent, their faces expressionless, utterly indifferent to the competition’s progress.

As for the Ye Family, the Elders stared intently at Ye Cheng. They had pinned all their hopes of competing for the City Lord Token on him, silently cheering him on in their hearts.

"Look, quick!"

"It’s Sister Ye Rou!"

Suddenly, Ye Xue, who was sitting beside Ye Xiao, cried out, her eyes flashing as she stared at a name on the Fifth Layer.

The moment her voice fell, Ye Rou’s name rose to the Sixth Layer, and a moment later, it actually reached the Seventh Layer.

This change brought a flicker of joy to the faces of the Ye Family members!

"Huh?!"

Just as Ye Xue’s voice faded, another cry of surprise rang out from the crowd. A burly man pointed at the void, "Look! Ye Wushuang’s rank is moving too!"

Ye Wushuang’s rank?

The crowd turned to look, only to see that Ye Wushuang’s name had, at some point, already risen to the second layer.

"Only the second layer? What’s there to be shocked about? A bunch of idiots. That piece of trash will never make a comeback in his life!"

From the Luo Family’s camp, Luo Wu watched with venomous hatred, cursing under his breath.

However.

The moment the words left Luo Wu’s mouth, the name—as if to spite him—moved again!

By the time the dazed crowd looked over, the name ’Ye Wushuang’ had instantly jumped from the second layer to the third.

Before anyone could even process it, the name moved again!

The fourth layer!

The Fifth Layer!

In just a few breaths, he had crossed two layers!

In an instant, the great plaza fell silent. The crowd, as if watching a dream, couldn’t believe their eyes. They hurriedly rubbed them and continued to stare.

But the name ’Ye Wushuang’ was now firmly planted on the Fifth Layer, as if it had flown there!

"Damn it, what’s going on?"

Luo Wu’s face instantly darkened, then flushed red as he couldn’t help but roar in frustration.

BOOM!

As Ye Wushuang stepped into the space of the Fifth Layer, a swarm of Tower Spirits immediately lunged at him. He blasted a path open with a single punch and, using Floating Light and Shadow, shot across like a flash of lightning.

Having broken through to the Qi Vortex Fifth Layer, his strength had risen to another level. Mere Qi Vortex Sixth Layer opponents posed no difficulty for him at all.

RUMBLE!

As he moved, his hands were not idle. With overwhelming and tyrannical force, he pulled one Tower Spirit after another into the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron, incinerating them directly into Beast Essence Pills.

In just a few breaths, he arrived at the entrance to the next passage.

At the passage entrance, three groups of people were struggling to fend off the attacks of the Tower Spirits. Most of them were at the Qi Vortex Fifth and Sixth Layers, and they were having a hard time facing the countless Qi Vortex Sixth Layer Tower Spirits.

Many of them had bloody holes in their bodies, pierced by the crimson light from the Tower Spirits’ blood-red eyes. Though not life-threatening, their injuries were severe.

"Look! That trash Ye Wushuang has made it up here too!" a young man from the Luo Family shouted upon seeing him.

Immediately, everyone in the three camps turned to look.

"Ye Wushuang!"

In the Ye Family camp, Ye Ba’s gaze darkened as well.

"The family has given the order to kill Ye Wushuang! Help me take him out first!" the young Luo Family disciple shouted to those beside him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The few people on the Luo Family’s side immediately understood and cleared a path.

The young Luo disciple gave a cold smirk and sent a palm strike toward Ye Wushuang along that path.

BOOM!

As if he hadn’t even seen it, Ye Wushuang’s gaze remained locked on the passage. He unleashed the Barbaric Tyrant Dragon Fist. BANG! BANG! BANG! A series of explosive sounds echoed.

The young Luo Family disciple, along with the Tower Spirits blocking Ye Wushuang’s path, were all blasted into oblivion, not even a scrap remaining. The onlookers from the other three parties stared so hard their eyes almost popped out, their bodies frozen in place.

BOOM!

Ignoring them all, Ye Wushuang stepped into the passage and vanished from the Fifth Layer.

BOOM!

The moment he set foot on the Sixth Layer, Ye Wushuang didn’t even think, simply punching forward and instantly obliterating a Tower Spirit before it could even react!

"It’s Ye Wushuang!"

The huge commotion immediately attracted the attention of some old acquaintances: Luo Xuan, Luo Yunjiao, Ouyang Xuan, Ouyang Lin, and the others.

"Brother Wushuang!"

Ye Dong had also reached the Sixth Layer. After killing the Tower Spirit in front of him, he moved to join Ye Wushuang. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Where’s my sister?" Ye Wushuang asked.

"She already went up ahead," Ye Dong replied.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang smiled faintly. ’Ye Rou has broken through to the Qi Vortex Eighth Layer and has the Grand Emperor’s Bow of Destruction. She’s probably almost caught up to Ye Cheng and the others.’

"Can you handle things here by yourself?" Ye Wushuang asked.

"Go on ahead. I can handle it here," Ye Dong said with a nod.

"Be careful, then!" Ye Wushuang said, his body shooting off toward the passage entrance.

"Stop him!"

Seeing this, Luo Xuan and the others wore grim expressions as they all moved at once, rushing in front of Ye Wushuang with powerful attacks.

Others might not know the extent of Ye Wushuang’s power, but they knew it all too well from painful experience. He could kill opponents at the Qi Vortex Sixth and Seventh Layers as if it were child’s play.

Therefore, if they let Ye Wushuang get past them, what chance would their two families have of obtaining the City Lord Token?

BOOM!

With this in mind, the four of them unleashed their most powerful attacks at Ye Wushuang, devastating the Tower Spirits in their path.

"Get lost!"

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed, shooting out a cold glint. He brought down the Dragon Emperor Mountain Sealing Stamp, its vast Dragon Spirit True Qi directly repelling the attacks of all four opponents.

BOOM!

Following that, Ye Wushuang activated Floating Light and Shadow and launched a tyrannical Barbaric Tyrant Dragon Fist at the four of them.

Feeling that incomparably tyrannical power, the four of them trembled inwardly. It was clear to them: Ye Wushuang’s strength had broken through again!

’Retreat!’

The four of them instantly retreated explosively, dodging the attack. To press forward at a time like this would be absolute suicide!

Hmph!

Ye Wushuang snorted coldly. He didn’t pursue them. If he weren’t in a hurry to get the City Lord Token, he would have definitely killed all four of them right here and now!

Withdrawing his gaze, Ye Wushuang swept through the Tower Spirits before him with crushing force and ascended to the Seventh Layer.

Unbeknownst to him, his casual advance was causing the crowd outside to stare so hard their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

From the first layer to the Seventh Layer in just a few minutes—it was like he was flying!

Was it really that easy?

The crowd wondered to themselves. Ouyang Hao and the other three top contenders were all incredibly powerful, yet it had taken them a considerable amount of time to reach the Seventh Layer, which showed just how dangerous it was.

But Ye Wushuang’s flight-like speed gave everyone the illusion that the Void Saber Tower was just an empty tower with nothing inside.

However, the Elders of the three great families, who knew the tower’s secrets, all shot to their feet, their faces masks of intense shock and disbelief.

Even Ouyang Badao opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the name ’Ye Wushuang’ as a cold light shot from his eyes.

Of course, the ones with the biggest reaction were undoubtedly the Luo Family.

Ye Wushuang’s actions were like a collective slap to their faces, throwing all their previous mockery of him right back at them.

This made the expressions on the faces of the Luo Family members unbelievably ugly!

They even felt a flicker of worry. With three people from the Ye Family now in the Seventh Layer, their chances of seizing the City Lord Token far surpassed the Luo Family’s. This shocking reversal made their smug smiles freeze on their faces.
