Chapter 731: Wrecked with One Punch

"Stop!"

Someone roared, and everyone snapped back to their senses in a panic!

BOOM!

The first to act was a disciple of the Ghost Sword Clan. He was the closest to Ye Wushuang, and he flickered forward, his figure leaping through the void like a phantom.

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!

As he moved, he drew the three longswords from his back in quick succession. The sword shadows overlapped, making their direction impossible to discern, leaving only a destructive Sword Momentum to bear down on his target.

Ye Wushuang, however, remained unmoved. With a single hand, he slapped outward. With a KENG, a heaven-shaking dragon’s roar thundered through the Firmament. Runes flickered on his massive palm as it extended endlessly.

Since the ghost-like swords were elusive, he would simply use the most barbaric method: smash them all to pieces.

And so, the giant palm swept through the sword shadows, annihilating every single one. Not one was spared. Even the Ghost Sword Clan disciple was struck, knocked from his flickering path through the void to skid across the ground!

He was utterly shocked. He hadn’t felt any fluctuations of True Essence or Dao Marks from that palm strike. It had blocked him with pure Physical Strength.

’Was that really just Physical Strength?’

ROAR!

The Red Blood Celestial Lion let out a heaven-shaking beastly roar. Ror had made his move. He refused to believe it when Res had said he was no match for Ye Wushuang.

As someone with the Holy Knight Bloodline and Pseudo-Saint Cultivation, he was one of the top figures in Flame City. He couldn’t accept being outdone by a mere stranger.

Moreover, he also coveted the Source Fire Seal and couldn’t possibly let Ye Wushuang go.

The Holy Knight Bloodline granted its users a natural ability to communicate with their War Beasts—or rather, their minds were already connected. Combined with their miraculous Knight Swordsmanship, they were renowned for their might.

The Red Blood Celestial Lion stomped through the air toward Ye Wushuang, while the greatsword at Ror’s waist slashed down from the void, like a knight from Ancient Times charging into battle.

Ye Wushuang’s golden palm suddenly snatched out, pulling the Source Fire Seal into his grasp.

He somersaulted into the air, appearing directly above the Red Blood Celestial Lion’s head.

KENG!

The Golden Holy Feathers unfurled, and his Golden Qi Blood surged to the heavens.

THWACK!

He plucked a single Golden Holy Feather and drove it down from the void like a blazing meteor. It pierced through the Battle Armor, tore through the beast’s skull, and ran the Red Blood Celestial Lion’s body clean through!

Ror’s pupils shrank as his body began to fall with the corpse of his Red Blood Celestial Lion!

Not only that, but he also saw a massive golden fist rapidly growing larger in his vision, its speed beyond extreme.

BANG!

Ror’s body exploded, obliterated by a single punch!

Until the moment of his death, he couldn’t believe it. Not only was he unable to block Ye Wushuang, but he couldn’t even withstand a single punch.

SHING SHING SHING!

This scene was nothing short of shocking to the crowd. Everyone who had been rushing toward Ye Wushuang came to an abrupt halt.

It was impossible not to be shocked. He had obliterated a Pseudo-Saint with the Holy Knight Bloodline in a single punch. How many people present could possibly accomplish such a feat of overwhelming power?

And most, most, *most* importantly, the Source Fire Seal was now in Ye Wushuang’s possession!

There was, however, one exception.

That person was Res, of the Holy Knight King’s Bloodline!

Seeing Ye Wushuang kill Ror filled him with rage. Back on the Celestial Bridge, he had considered trying to seize the Source Fire Seal, but he had chosen to endure and wait!

But now that Ye Wushuang had taken the Source Fire Seal, he had nothing left to hold him back. The killing intent hidden in his heart erupted.

"Holy Light Cross Slash!"

He drew his sword and attacked. Two beams of holy Sword Light crossed, dividing the world into four quadrants. The attack expanded outward, its center aimed directly at Ye Wushuang.

The point of intersection was where the attack’s power and destruction were most concentrated. It was like the gaping maw of a giant beast, opening wide to swallow Ye Wushuang.

ROAR!

At the same time, the incomparably powerful Demon Scale Dragon Horse charged forward, making the circular plaza tremble. The Heaven and Earth Source Fire within the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace roiled violently!

The King’s Bloodline of a Holy Knight was undeniably powerful. Yet, Ye Wushuang’s calm face showed no hint of disturbance; he was as serene as a cloudless sky!

In the instant the attack reached him, a ray of light flickered from the Golden Lotus Mark on his brow. The Celestial’s Mark was activated, amplifying his Dragon Blood Saint Body.

This Celestial’s Mark was a Divine Object that could multiply the Combat Power of anything by nine. With it, the power of his Dragon Blood Saint Body was again amplified ninefold.

This made Ye Wushuang feel that the power coursing through his body had grown even stronger.

The luster of his Golden Dragon Scales grew even more brilliant, drawing gasps of amazement from many in the crowd. The noble and majestic Dragon Scale Armor, worn on his handsome and slender frame, dealt a severe blow to the hearts of the young women watching from the sidelines.

KENG!

At that moment, Ye Wushuang threw a punch at the Holy Light Cross Slash. One could see marks of order flickering on his gleaming golden fist. The Dao Marks hidden within his body were drawn out, erupting with an extremely destructive energy.

BOOM!

His fist smashed forward, colliding head-on with the Holy Light Cross Slash. A shockwave of light spread out, forcing back the crowd—and Res along with them!

After the collision, the Demon Scale Dragon Horse was thrown back, its four hooves skidding across the circular plaza and kicking up sparks!

Inside the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace, the Heaven and Earth Source Fire churned even more violently—unprecedentedly so!

It seemed as if it could explode at any moment and submerge the entire Profound Sun Domain in flames.

After the collision, the storm subsided for a moment. Ye Wushuang stood in his original spot, unmoving as a mountain. ’If my Dragon Blood Saint Body, amplified by the Celestial’s Mark, can’t even handle a mere bloodline, then wouldn’t all my hard work forging this Holy Body have been for nothing?’

Res was extremely wary. Xiao Tianyan, Luoo Ye, and the others were wary too!

As the peerless geniuses of Flame City, representing the peak of the Profound Sun Domain’s younger generation, they too felt threatened by Ye Wushuang!

"Do you want to continue?"

Ye Wushuang stared coldly at Res.

Res’s expression was grim, the qi and blood in his chest churning. That last blow had hit him with a powerful impact. Without a doubt, Ye Wushuang’s strength had already reached his level!

Xiao Tianyan, Luoo Ye, and the others exchanged glances, seemingly eager to make a move!

"Young Master Ye!"

However, at this moment of extreme tension, a voice suddenly called out.

A beautiful blonde woman stepped out from the crowd and walked to Ye Wushuang’s side.

He had seen her before. It was Sona!

Her face was filled with delight, excitement, and joy!

At the very least, no one from the Tri-Element Guild had ever seen Sona look so happy!

"Everyone, he is a friend of my Tri-Element Guild. I hope you will give the Tri-Element Guild—and me—some face. The Source Fire Seal is already his. That is a fact. How about we let this matter drop?"

Sona turned to address the others, her words intended to diffuse the tense atmosphere.

Luoo Ye, Xiao Tianyan, and even the young man from the Mercenary Guild frowned slightly. They chose not to say anything more, their curiosity now piqued by Ye Wushuang’s identity!

"Young Master Ye, I didn’t expect you to come to Flame City! Come on, let’s go check out our Tri-Element Guild." Sona boldly took Ye Wushuang’s arm and started walking toward the Celestial Bridge.

Ye Wushuang knew Sona was doing this because she thought he was about to be surrounded and wanted to help him out of his predicament.

’She’s probably mistaken,’ he thought with a wry smile.

However, he didn’t explain anything. He was simply surprised by Sona’s boldness and passion, so unlike the reserved and coy demeanor of most women.

Of course, Ye Wushuang was unaware of the countless murderous glares fixed on his back.

Sona was Flame City’s number one beauty. Seeing her take a strange man’s arm like this was a deep provocation to the heart of every man present!

Their fists were clenched so tightly they made cracking sounds, revealing their current state of mind and mood!

Of course, they also didn’t know that within the Flame Gate behind them, a giant eye of fire had appeared. It stared at Ye Wushuang’s back, a flicker of complex emotion appearing in its otherwise indifferent gaze.

No one saw it, for it vanished as quickly as it had appeared!
