Chapter 654 – Fifth Earthly Martial Realm Master

After she killed the man, Lady Xuan did not even furrow her brows. She made a pushing gesture with her hand and shot out another small bead at the palace’s wall. When the bead hit, it created a huge hole!

Considering Lady Xuan’s strength, the bead should have shot through the other end of the palace, but it had not. This meant that someone inside had caught it.

The crowd below was initially talking amongst themselves, but after witnessing her violence, they fell silent with terror, only daring to hide and watch. Long Chen and Xiaolang hid among the people, observing the event.

Very soon, Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji appeared at the very top of Martial Overlord Palace. He stepped lightly on the very top and stared at Lady Xuan with a gaze that resembled deep, still well-water. Then his gaze turned from its initial calm to slight shock.

It looked like the woman’s strength surpassed his expectations.

“Are you Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji?” Lady Xuan held her head high, looking at him with amusement.

Zhao Wuji did not answer her. “You must be from another empire, right? If I were to guess, you are from the Heavenly Wind Empire. Has the Heavenly Wind Empire forgotten the agreement between the Divine Martial Empire and the other Great Empires? Aren’t you afraid of the other nine empires working together to come after you?”

Lady Xuan giggled and said, “I came here today not because I want to destroy your pitiful Divine Martial Empire. What Ten Great Empires? To us, there are only Nine Great Empires in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.”

“So why did you come to Martial Overlord City?” asked Zhao Wuji without a hint of submission. The feeling this woman gave him was scarier than Long Shan.

He was nowhere near as nervous when he faced Long Shan.

A person from another empire was surely not simple.

“I am here to ask you for something,” Lady Xuan said carefreely with a smile.

“What do you want?” Zhao Wuji had a bad feeling. She could ask for someone’s life. Perhaps she was here to kill him.

“I want the Myriad Earth Essence. Would you be willing to give it to a girl like me?” Lady Xuan looked at him wistfully. Her face was hidden by a veil, but her gaze terrified him.

She wanted the Myriad Earth Essence?

Zhao Wuji squinted. He did not have a plan. The Myriad Earth Essence was something he had obtained to keep himself alive. That was going to be his trump card after he entered the Ancient Graveyard. He could not even bear to give it to Zhao Danchen, let alone Lady Xuan. If he had to give it to someone, he might as well give it to his own disciple.

Lady Xuan was getting impatient when she saw that Zhao Wuji was not speaking, so she said arrogantly, “What do you think? If you hand the Myriad Earth Essence to me, I will leave immediately.”

Although she was speaking to the ruler of a large empire, she felt nothing but contempt for him.

He was the ruler of an empire, but he was so weak. It was laughable.

The Divine Martial Empire was just a joke when compared to the other empires.

Lady Xuan was being too bold. If she had gone to meet Zhao Wuji in a place where no one else was present, there was a possibility that he would give it to her because she was very powerful. However, there was a crowd watching. If Zhao Wuji obliged, he would lose face.

The fact that he had not attacked Long Shan had decreased the people’s trust in him. After the incident at the Ancient Demon Domain, the public had even started to doubt his courage. Now, Lady Xuan was bullying him at his doorstep. If he did nothing, he would no longer be considered the Martial Overlord.

“If you want the Myriad Earth Essence, you can have it in exchange for something of equal value. If it is a fair trade, we will both be very happy.” Zhao Wuji did not reject her directly, but instead gave an indirect reply.

If this could happen, then not only would he not be at a loss, he would also make a friend. What was there not to like?

But Lady Xuan never took Zhao Wuji seriously, so why would she make a trade? When she heard his reply, she chuckled coldly and said, “It looks like you do not intend to be a sincere friend of mine, Martial Overlord. You will regret this.”

“Aren’t you the one without sincerity? Did you come to the Divine Martial Empire with the intention to rob us?” Zhao Wuji’s voice turned cold. Although she was powerful, Zhao Wuji had ruled over the Martial Alliance for many years, so he was not weak either!

When Lady Xuan heard him, she started laughing hard.

“You’re a funny one! I gave you a way to live, and yet you want to die. You don’t treasure your own life at all ... Do you know what level I am at?”

Her cultivation level?

Judging by the way she is acting, it seems like she is not at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. Is she stronger?

Is this woman the strongest person in the Divine Martial Empire right now?

Long Chen wondered in shock.

The people below listened to the conversation in silence, not daring to discuss. They merely communicated with shocked glances.

Was this outsider stronger than the Martial Overlord?

The Divine Martial Empire had recently been rocked with many events. With this woman here, it was about to become even more chaotic.

The Martial Overlord’s pupils constricted when he heard her.

She was intending to attack.

The Martial Overlord was currently wearing long, white robes like a friendly elder. His opponent was powerful, but he did not even change his expression.

His challenging gaze ignited a fire of fury within her.

“How dare a mere ant challenge me?! Since you refuse to give me the Myriad Earth Essence, then I will have to take it from your dead body! By the way, I came to the Divine Martial Empire to take the Ancient Token. You also want it, right? Too bad! The Ancient Token is mine!” Lady Xuan said coldly.

“In that case, I won’t rest until I die!” Zhao Wuji replied mildly. After a pause, he said, “Follow me. Don’t hurt the commoners here.”

Then he turned and flew away from the city.

Lady Xuan had no time to worry about commoners. She chuckled coldly and then followed Zhao Wuji out of Martial Overlord City.

Most of the people did not dare follow them. They swarmed to Martial Overlord City’s walls. Long Chen was in the crowd and squeezed his way to the walls as well. He found a spot close to them.

This was a huge event, so no one cared about Long Chen’s identity.

Outside the city, Zhao Wuji and Lady Xuan stood about fifty meters apart. Zhao Wuji had always been a direct person. Since they had decided on a duel to the death, he did not waste time on nonsense. The man in the long, white robes shot at Lady Xuan.

“He’s fast!” Long Chen gave a low cry. Zhao Wuji’s speed surpassed his imagination. He was much slower even with the Dragon Soul Transformation. Zhao Danchen’s weakness was speed, while Zhao Wuji was an all-rounder like Long Chen.

Long Chen’s abilities were very equal in all aspects.

A battle at the peak of the Divine Martial Empire quickly ignited. A normal person could not even identify them because they could only see two people in white clothing fighting. They could not distinguish them and therefore could not tell who was winning.

However, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang could.

“He lives up to his name as the Martial Overlord. His attacks are sharp and precise, and he is extremely fast. His comprehension of the Martial Realm surpasses that of the average person.” Long Chen watched the Martial Overlord carefully, analyzing his movements. This was very important to him as the Martial Overlord was at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. Long Chen suddenly understood many things after watching the Martial Overlord’s movements. The questions he previously struggled to answer were now cleared.

He had taken another step towards the Third Earthly Martial Stage.

Then he looked at the other person, Lady Xuan. In the beginning, the Martial Overlord was the one who kept attacking, while Lady Xuan only retaliated symbolically. She kept dodging, and she gave a teasing grin.

When he saw this, Long Chen started to believe that the woman was at the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. If she could be this carefree while the Martial Overlord was attacking her, then she was definitely at least one stage higher.

This lady’s body combat technique is very similar to the Willow Step, though it is superior. It’s also a technique that is good for dodging attacks. It’s no wonder Zhao Wuji can’t hit her. It’s because of this technique.

The crowd cried out in surprise.

Long Chen saw the Martial Overlord’s face grow more and more solemn. He guessed that Lady Xuan was at the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage.

As expected, while they fought, the Martial Overlord said, “You’re at the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. At your level, you should also be able to get an Ancient Token at the Heavenly Wind Empire. Why did you need to travel so far to fight for one in the Divine Martial Empire?”

Lady Xuan giggled and said smugly, “Do you think you have the right to ask questions? Now that you know my level, are you going to give me the Myriad Earth Essence?”

“In your dreams!” Zhao Wuji huffed coldly and punched. The air exploded nine times consecutively. The punch that exceeded the speed of sound arrived in front of her face!

“Such a weak trick!” Lady Xuan giggled and moved her feet quickly, easily dodging his attack and moving to his side.

“Next, I’ll show you the true power of the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage!”
