The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1437 - 1438: Number One on the Heaven Ranking

With the arrival of Wang Luo Sha, the entire arena became filled with excitement, instantly forgetting the matters concerning Xiang Qiu and those two women. The woman in yellow and Yan Lingfeng consciously withdrew from the arena.

The woman in yellow left despondently, her bleak silhouette stretching long under the sunlight.

Ye Mo turned back to glance and couldn’t help but shake his head. Perhaps this scene was not what Li Xiuyuan wanted to see either.

It was the first time Ye Mo saw Wang Luo Sha, who, at the realm of Divine Venerate Seven Souls, always wore a Luosha mask and never showed his true face. Many disciples were quite curious about the true appearance behind the mask.

"Wang Luo Sha, you’ve claimed the top spot of the Heavenly Ranking for over a decade. Today, I, Xiang Qiu, will end your legend and create a new one for the Wraith Clan."

Xiang Qiu coldly said, "Today, I will defeat you in front of all the disciples and elders."

"Is that so?"

Wang Luo Sha’s voice became even more somber: "I, Wang Luo Sha, have faced countless challenges over the past decade. With less than two months until the Heavenly Ranking Tournament, which also selects the Twelve Emperors, why would I accept your challenge? I want to use a groundbreaking match to showcase my strength. Only by thoroughly defeating you, a martial artist of Divine Venerate Seven Souls, will no one dare to challenge me further."

The two exchanged no more words and directly summoned their weapons to start the fight.

"Judging from their auras, Wang Luo Sha’s strength is slightly superior to Xiang Qiu’s. After all, he has advanced to Divine Venerate Seven Souls, but who is stronger or weaker is difficult to tell at a glance."

Ye Mo watched the fierce battle between Xiang Qiu and Wang Luo Sha, evaluating it with the demeanor of an expert. This level of combat wasn’t something that could draw his interest.

Yet, their offensives truly stirred the entire audience. Every move they made could practically be described as cataclysmic and thunderous. Xiang Qiu wielded the Overlord Spear, while Wang Luo Sha used the Rakshasa Giant Sword. Their clashes caused the whole space to shatter, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach the arena.

Both were martial artists of Divine Venerate Seven Souls and had the might of a late-stage Divine Venerate, far surpassing the other disciples on the platform. Every strike could overturn heavens and sink stars and moons.

After exchanging several hundred blows, the two separated for the first time, both expressionless. Of course, no one could clearly see Wang Luo Sha’s expression, but he was secretly shocked by how powerful Xiang Qiu was.

"Wang Luo Sha, is this all you’ve got? It seems I am quite disappointed."

With a roar!

Xiang Qiu pointed his spear, breaking through the air. The surrounding Wraith Energy gathered directly on the tip of his spear. As he swung, it was like iron strokes on silver hooks, seemingly sketching a massive pattern in the air.

"Spear Dominates the World, Rivers and Mountains Society Diagram!"

A giant painting was outlined in the air, breaking through multiple barricades, directly striking Wang Luo Sha’s chest. Caught off guard, Wang Luo Sha was forced to retreat by that strike from Xiang Qiu.

"Xiang Qiu is amazing; I’ve never seen him use this move before."

"Seems like he’s hidden quite a few cards."

"He probably wants to make a splash at this moment!"

Wang Luo Sha was taken aback, not expecting Xiang Qiu to have such techniques up his sleeve. However, Wang Luo Sha wasn’t too startled, smirking coldly: "Xiang Qiu, is this your true strength? If you are only relying on such means, it’s difficult to stand against me."

Just as Wang Luo Sha finished speaking, he unleashed unparalleled swordsmanship with his Rakshasa Giant Sword. Each strike had a tremendous weight, and the supreme killing move seemed to be taking shape: "Let me show you the power of my Rakshasa Giant Sword, Rakshasa Field!"

"Wang Luo Sha is finally employing the Rakshasa Field."

"To force Wang Luo Sha to reveal the Rakshasa Field, even if Xiang Qiu loses, it’s not disgraceful. The Rakshasa Field resides within the Rakshasa Giant Sword!"

With a thunderous crash!

A tremendously explosive force emanated from the Rakshasa Giant Sword, countless Wraith Energy forming a Rakshasa Field, enveloping the entire arena. Within the field, demons and various hellish beings emerged.

With a point of Wang Luo Sha’s longsword, all the demonic creatures within the field surged toward Xiang Qiu.

"I’ve been waiting for this move!"

Xiang Qiu sneered, flipping his hand to produce a seal, though few recognized it.

Yet, Ye Mo clearly saw that Xiang Qiu had summoned a ninth rank seal purely for attack, the Sacred Fire Bow. This seal could only be fully unleashed by a Divine Venerate Eight Souls wielder. However, a Divine Venerate Seven Souls martial artist pouring all their power into it could still harm any Divine Venerate Seven Souls martial artist.

Xiang Qiu was evidently gambling the outcome of the battle on the Sacred Fire Bow.

"It seems Xiang Qiu dared to openly challenge Wang Luo Sha relying on the Sacred Fire Bow, unbeknownst to him that the Sacred Fire Bow was something I taught to the Yang family."

Ye Mo couldn’t help but smirk.

The Yang family, though having joined the Wraith Clan, wasn’t widely known, but Xiang Qiu knew of this, thus obtaining a seal crafted by Yang Zu. Though crude, Xiang Qiu wanted to use its power to defeat Wang Luo Sha.

"Wang Luo Sha, let’s see how you withstand this move!"

Xiang Qiu roared, channeling all his Dantian’s power into the seal. A flaming bow and arrow appeared in front of him, which he suddenly drew.

Whizz!

A massive flaming shadow cut through the sky, triggering a cascade of fire beams. This arrow seemed to awaken the fire spirit, tearing apart sheets of space.

The arrow, with incomparable might, tore through, smashing the demonic entities within the Rakshasa Field even before nearing the arrow, immediately reducing them to nothing.

All the observing disciples could feel the might of this arrow, and Wang Luo Sha’s Rakshasa Field was on the brink of collapse.

"Not good, Wang Luo Sha’s about to lose!"

An observing Supreme Elder had already seen through everything.

Wang Luo Sha was also thunderstruck. As the Rakshasa Field shattered, his Rakshasa Giant Sword clashed with the arrow. In an instant, a blaze erupted, engulfing the entire arena in its light.

Xiang Qiu turned pale, while Wang Luo Sha was blasted away by the firelight, falling to the ground coughing blood.

"Wang Luo Sha actually lost?"

The crowd couldn’t accept it. The previously undefeated Wang Luo Sha lost to the newly advanced Xiang Qiu.

"Now, I, Xiang Qiu, am the leader of the Heavenly Ranking!"

Xiang Qiu roared triumphantly, his face flushed.

"Oh? Wang Luo Sha lost?"

At that moment, a surprised voice echoed, shocking everyone as they looked toward the sky.

"The Vice Chieftain has arrived!"

The crowd exclaimed.

"The Vice Chieftain actually came, this is excellent. I defeated Wang Luo Sha in front of so many people; the Vice Chieftain will surely praise me."

Upon seeing the Vice Chieftain, Xiang Qiu felt an overwhelming surge of emotion. This battle had made him famous, and the Vice Chieftain was sure to notice him. He wanted to show Ye Mo that they belonged to different worlds now, even if he was the adopted son of Elder Mengxin.
