Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 416: Consecutive Victories

Although Wang Ruoxie has also studied the ways of Confucian Cultivators and understands how to inscribe the Spirit Character, even bearing the Vast Righteous Qi, he cannot be considered a true Confucian Cultivator.

At the very least, he is not a pure Confucian Cultivator, so in terms of Confucian Dao strength alone, he cannot possibly compare to Shangguan Yu. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Of course, he doesn’t intend to rely on Confucian Dao strength to face the opponent in battle.

"Break!"

Facing the golden Palm Seal coming to crush him, Wang Ruoxie simply throws a punch.

Although this punch seemingly doesn’t utilize any Martial Techniques, its power is in no way inferior to ordinary Lower Grade Saint Tier Martial Techniques.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud explosion, Wang Ruoxie’s fist fiercely collides with the golden Palm Seal.

In an instant, the golden Palm Seal shatters into pieces; however, Wang Ruoxie’s body is also forced to take several steps back.

"This Shangguan Yu is indeed much stronger than Qu Hao."

Wang Ruoxie’s eyes narrow, thinking to himself.

"Indeed, this person is not a match for Shangguan Yu."

The onlookers also secretly conclude.

In their view, although Wang Ruoxie did not lose this strike, he was nonetheless pushed back a few steps, clearly unable to withstand Shangguan Yu.

"You still disappoint me."

Shangguan Yu said to Wang Ruoxie, "This Palm Seal was just a test, yet you couldn’t take it easily. It seems I overestimated your abilities."

"The fight isn’t over yet; it’s too soon to say that, isn’t it?"

Wang Ruoxie replied with a faint smile.

In fact, he was quite pleased because his strategy seemed to have succeeded initially.

Before the fight with Shangguan Yu started, he suddenly realized that even if he used the Soul Boat as a wager and defeated Shangguan Yu, others might still hesitate to challenge him.

So he decided that even if he were to win, it shouldn’t be too easy, and appearing extremely strenuous, even with some injuries, would be ideal.

That way, people would definitely be more inclined to challenge him one after another.

In the previous punch, he withheld a lot of his strength, leading to him being pushed back a few steps.

"In that case, I want to see what other tricks you have."

Shangguan Yu said to Wang Ruoxie, then lightly waved the Feather Fan in his hand again.

"Vast Universe exists, righteous Qi within me, Demon-Slaying Sword!"

As an incantation slowly escaped Shangguan Yu’s lips, a golden Sword Shadow instantly formed, carrying an unstoppable terrifying power, slashing toward Wang Ruoxie.

"Fighting Saint Fist."

Wang Ruoxie did not hesitate, throwing another punch.

Of course, even though this punch used the Fighting Saint Fist, he still held back somewhat.

"Boom!"

With a sound of a world-shaking explosion, fist and sword clashed, and a terrifying Vigorous Qi burst forth, obliterating everything around, even causing the space itself to crack and collapse.

Immediately afterward, the crowd saw the two figures being simultaneously pushed back.

"Good... you didn’t disappoint me."

Though pushed back, Shangguan Yu was instead pleased, saying to Wang Ruoxie, "Let’s decide the winner in one strike next."

"Alright, one strike to decide the winner."

Shangguan Yu’s proposal fit Wang Ruoxie’s intentions perfectly.

"Demon-Slaying Slash!"

As Shangguan Yu chanted another incantation, he used the Feather Fan to inscribe a huge golden "Slash" character in mid-air.

"Godslaying Technique."

Wang Ruoxie manifested the Blood Sword once again, swiftly slashing it toward Shangguan Yu.

"Boom..."

With a booming sound, Sword Qi crisscrossed as Wang Ruoxie’s Blood Sword immediately descended upon the golden "Slash" character.

In the next moment, the golden "Slash" character shattered, turning into countless starlike specks adorning the air before vanishing entirely.

The Blood Sword didn’t lose momentum, continuing to thrust toward Shangguan Yu.

Seeing the Blood Sword coming to strike, Shangguan Yu’s face momentarily changed, hurriedly swinging the Feather Fan in an attempt to counter the Blood Sword.

His Feather Fan was a Middle Grade Sacred Artifact, possessing immense power.

With a sound of metal clashing, Wang Ruoxie’s Blood Sword fiercely struck Shangguan Yu’s Feather Fan.

Immediately, the crowd heard two muffled grunts, accompanied by the sight of two figures being knocked back in the air.

"Puh..."

Blood spewed from both Wang Ruoxie’s and Shangguan Yu’s mouths.

But what happened next left the crowd momentarily stunned; they actually saw Shangguan Yu fall directly off the Battle Platform, unable to get up for a while.

Even though Wang Ruoxie appeared extremely disheveled, he stood steadily at the edge of the Battle Platform, never falling.

This meant that the final result of this battle was that Wang Ruoxie defeated Shangguan Yu, undoubtedly with great difficulty, but he had indeed won.

"How could this be? Even Shangguan Yu is not his match."

"Has his strength already surpassed the Pocket World Realm, maybe even comparable to the Celestial Monarch Realm?"

"Not necessarily, although he defeated Shangguan Yu, he seems heavily injured too; hence, despite being stronger than Shangguan Yu, his strength may be only marginally superior."

As the crowd recovered from shock, discussions buzzed around.

The brilliant talents, originally intrigued by the Soul Boat, became more motivated than ever.

Wang Ruoxie’s strength is indeed formidable, but now gravely wounded, his capabilities must be greatly reduced, providing a golden opportunity for them to profit.

"Cough..."

With a gentle cough, Wang Ruoxie wiped the bloodstains from his mouth, then gazing at the crowd, remarked, "Who else wants to fight?"

"I’ll go."

No sooner had Wang Ruoxie’s voice faded than a silhouette flickered onto the Battle Platform.

It was a tall and sturdy young man with a sharp aura radiating from him.

Although he too possessed Cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Cave Heaven Realm, his aura paled in comparison to Shangguan Yu’s, indicating that his strength was significantly lesser.

Had Wang Ruoxie not sustained injuries defeating Shangguan Yu, this brawny youth likely wouldn’t have dared to step onto the platform.

Noticing the burly youth, a faint smile curved Wang Ruoxie’s lips; he well understood his own condition, but this was precisely the outcome he had planned for.

"I don’t want to take advantage of your injury, so if you admit defeat and hand over the Soul Boat, you can leave the platform unharmed. Otherwise, even if not intending to harm you, I might find it hard to hold back."

The bulky youth said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Go ahead; if you truly manage to injure me, it merely means I’m less skilled, not your fault."

Wang Ruoxie replied with a soft smile.

"In that case, I mean no offense."

The brawny youth uttered no more; his form shot forward, throwing a punch toward Wang Ruoxie.

Wang Ruoxie almost simultaneously responded with a punch of his own.

"Bang!"

Their fists collided, sending the brawny youth flying off the platform, while Wang Ruoxie’s whole body also went airborne.

However, his form once again halted at the edge of the Battle Platform.

Though now blood continued to trickle from his lips and his frame swayed unsteadily, he still stood firmly on the Battle Platform.

"He’s nearly done."

The observers looked joyful.
