"I’ll give you a chance to kill me!"
Yang Dingtian’s eyes froze. Ye Wushuang had chosen him!
Ye Wushuang withdrew his gaze, turned to the giant elder, and asked, "Senior, I want to challenge him. Is that permissible?"
The giant elder said, "This is the second round. It was your turn to speak. However, Yang Dingtian just fought a battle before you, so normally, you can’t challenge him. Of course, if he agrees, that’s another matter."
"I accept! I’ll fight!" Yang Dingtian chose to accept the challenge. Although he was injured, he believed it was more than enough to deal with Ye Wushuang.
"Very well. Since both sides agree, it is permitted." The giant elder nodded and said no more.
"Hmph, challenging me? Perfect. Today, I’ll step on your corpse to reclaim the dignity I lost." Yang Dingtian sneered. He had lost in the first round. If he lost this battle as well, he would have no place in the top five.
Therefore, he had to defeat Ye Wushuang in this battle—or even kill him. He would seize the Ultimate Yang True Fire and other opportunities from him. With those, he might even have a chance to enter the top three.
As he spoke, Yang Dingtian took out a Treasure Pill and swallowed it. This Treasure Pill was enough to allow him to recover from his injuries and replenish his strength.
Ye Wushuang watched quietly without stopping him. Since Yang Dingtian’s confidence came from his power, Ye Wushuang would give him time to recover to his peak condition. Then, he would defeat him.
BOOM!
A long moment later, Yang Dingtian’s body suddenly shuddered, and a terrifying wave of fire erupted from him. Flames blazed in his eyes, a fearsome sight to behold.
"Are you ready now?"
Ye Wushuang said lightly as he stepped forward.
"Ye Wushuang, today I will let you taste the flavor of my flames and enjoy the feeling of being burned alive."
Flames gradually shot out from Yang Dingtian’s body. He walked toward Ye Wushuang step by step, the fire on his body growing ever more intense. The crimson flames looked as if they could incinerate the very Firmament.
’Yang Dingtian’s aura is even more tyrannical than before.’
Gazing at Yang Dingtian, who looked like a Fire God descending, the crowd’s eyes reflected the endless crimson. The flames were so terrifying that even a single touch would likely mean annihilation.
"Ye Wushuang obtained the Seed of True Flame from Flame Mountain in the Earth Palace. If Dingtian incinerates Ye Wushuang, he can merge with the Seed of True Flame and advance further. Securing a spot in the top three will be as easy as reaching into his pocket to take something."
"Dingtian, in this battle, you must not only defeat Ye Wushuang, but kill him. Only by stepping on his bones can you truly blossom."
Below the Battle Platform, the Sect Master of the Fiery Sun Sect had a sharp, murderous glint in his eyes. He didn’t just want Ye Wushuang defeated, but burned to death!
"Flames represent destruction. They are my favorite thing. Today, I’ll let your bones turn to dust within them."
Two beams of divine fire shot from Yang Dingtian’s eyes as he charged swiftly toward Ye Wushuang. An aura of tyrannical destruction swept over Ye Wushuang as well.
"Flames? I like them too!"
Flames also burned fiercely in Ye Wushuang’s eyes.
Then, his gaze fell upon Yang Dingtian, unleashing a terrifying aura. Like a true pair of Eyes of Destruction, they unleashed an even more terrifying destructive power, making Yang Dingtian’s heart tremble.
"Before, Pann Wu crushed you with his physical body. Now, I will use fire—your favorite element—to fight you. Let’s see whose flames are stronger!"
Ye Wushuang took a step, and a destructive aura began to spread through the void. The crowd felt a sense of scorching, destructive crisis.
The gazes of the crowd trembled slightly. Ye Wushuang was fighting Yang Dingtian, but he wasn’t using the Heavenly Concealing Hand, his one-strike-kill sword, his terrifying Saber Intent, or his Sword Dao Slaughter. Instead, he was using flames to counter flames. ’Just how many more tricks does this guy have up his sleeve? How many unknowns are there?’
The crowd suddenly realized that Ye Wushuang was full of secrets, or perhaps a mystery himself. From the start of the Barbarian God Battle Platform, he had gone unnoticed, yet now, he stood step by step on the stage of the top ten, completely unfathomable.
Perhaps the biggest dark horse of this Barbarian God Battle Platform wasn’t Yuh Huatian, but him, Ye Wushuang. A place in the top five was guaranteed to be his.
On the Ancient Spirit Sect’s side, the disciples also stared intently at that calm, simple figure in white. In their eyes, however, he was monumental and insurmountable.
Only they knew best how much humiliation he had endured and how much blood he had shed to reach this brilliant moment.
In just a few short years, he had risen from humble beginnings to fight at the pinnacle of the Endless Wilderness. How many people could achieve such a feat?
At this moment, in their hearts, Ye Wushuang was already irreplaceable.
BOOM!
Yang Dingtian’s flames spread out. To crush and kill Ye Wushuang as quickly as possible, giving him no chance to surrender, Yang Dingtian used his full power.
He unleashed Flame Dragon Burning Heaven. The Flame Divine Dragon once again roared at the heavens, sweeping toward Ye Wushuang with all the unwillingness and humiliation from its previous defeat, vowing to reclaim everything.
ROAR!
The massive flaming dragon body crushed its way through the air. It possessed not only the tyranny of fire but also the momentum of pure force. Its ferocious head glared at Ye Wushuang as it smashed down.
"Dragons are venerable beings, their pride soars to the heavens, their might shakes the world, and they are utterly unrestrained. You, who possess none of a dragon’s might or pride, how are you worthy of being called a dragon? Be severed!"
Ye Wushuang watched intently. There wasn’t a single flame on his body, only in his palm, where a crimson fire slowly emerged, coalescing into a Flame Battle Saber.
He leaped into the air, moving as fast as a streak of light, and spiraled up around the body of the Flame Divine Dragon. His Flame Battle Saber flashed rapidly, like a cluster of dancing flames in the dead of night.
BANG, BANG, BANG...
Under the gazes of the crowd, that mighty Flame Divine Dragon was sliced into nine sections. It let out a mournful cry as it began to dissipate. Unworthy of being a dragon, it was destined for destruction. Such is the pride of a true dragon!
Slash!
Wielding the Flame Battle Saber, Ye Wushuang zipped through the void, slashing toward Yang Dingtian.
The flames on Yang Dingtian’s body also formed a massive Flame Battle Saber, which he used to counter Ye Wushuang’s attack. The two blades clashed in the void.
Yang Dingtian was a picture of power, flames surging to the sky, his aura overwhelming.
Ye Wushuang, on the other hand, appeared normal aside from the Flame Battle Saber in his hand. Yet, that very Flame Battle Saber possessed an invincible power, annihilating Yang Dingtian’s own.
One Flame Battle Saber after another formed in Yang Dingtian’s hands, only to be shattered like wood chips, offering no resistance at all. He dodged pathetically, feeling a deep, profound humiliation.
’Pann Wu defeated me, but that was because he has the terrifying and indestructible Giant Spirit Battle Body. But Ye Wushuang... he’s using flames, the very thing I, Yang Dingtian, am best at! I should have had the absolute advantage, but this is all like some kind of joke. The advantage is gone, and instead, I’m the one being thrashed. This is too ironic! I can’t accept this!’
"AHH... Ye Wushuang, you forced my hand!"
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian roared at the sky as his body burst into furious flames. Unlike before, this time his entire body seemed to turn into fire, releasing a world-ending power.
"Dingtian, are you insane? Stop!"
Below the Battle Platform, the Sect Master of the Fiery Sun Sect seemed to realize something. His expression changed drastically, and he roared!
