Strongest War Emperor

From Shen Lang grabbing Ye Juexin’s hands to Ye Juexin using the desperate situation to counter-attack and turn the tables, it all happened in a flash.

Even Xu Daolin and the others, who had been orchestrating this all along, stared wide-eyed, stunned.

In the instant Shen Lang’s arms were tightly bound—just that single moment—it felt like an eternity to everyone present...

"ROAR!"

Just as everyone was certain Shen Lang would be defeated, a roar like that of an ancient Fierce Beast swept across the entire arena.

Everyone focused their gaze, and their jaws dropped, hanging open for a long time.

It turned out the roar had come from Shen Lang!

It was the Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Technique, which used sound waves to defeat enemies!

Amidst this roar, a powerful gust of wind instantly blew Ye Juexin’s hair into disarray!

"WHOOSH!"

Sand and stones flew across the ground!

Ye Juexin, whose gaze had been chillingly cold, turned his head away in pain, squeezing his eyes shut!

He bore the brunt of the blast; his eardrums ached, and he felt as if he were about to suffocate!

Meanwhile, just as the dagger shot toward him like an arrow, at the critical moment, Shen Lang’s body, just like Ye Juexin’s, underwent an unbelievable transformation!

He was clearly standing in the same spot, his legs unmoving, but his waist strangely caved inward to the right!

It was like a magic trick, forcefully shifting one part of his body to create a gap... and the dagger flew right through that opening!

For most Martial Artists, such a movement was inconceivable; no one could possibly perform it...

"CLINK!"

The light sound was a blade falling to the ground from within Ye Juexin’s hair.

"You are indeed a competent assassin. A pity you ran into me!"

A hint of anger showed on Shen Lang’s face. If not for his extraordinary techniques, he too would have suffered a great loss this time!

Although Shen Lang had appeared nonchalant, he had actually been analyzing Ye Juexin’s Cultivation Technique and Martial Techniques from the very beginning, even scanning him once with his Silver Eyes of Truth.

He looked casual, but in truth, he was taking calculated steps with extreme caution.

Even so, had it been anyone else, they would have definitely fallen for the trap just now.

Shen Lang was furious. Seizing the moment while Ye Juexin was stunned by the Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Technique, head turned and eyes shut, he yanked his opponent’s arms forward and drove his knee fiercely into Ye Juexin’s abdomen!

"Ugh!"

Ye Juexin grunted in pain. He rapidly twisted his arms, trying to break free from the entanglement.

"You think you can just grab and let go whenever you please? As if I’d let you!"

Shen Lang gathered all the Thunder Power in his body into his hands and suddenly jolted them!

A series of "BANG! BANG!" sounds erupted. Before Ye Juexin could fully retract his long, Demon Snake-like arms, they were struck by that force, and several bloody holes instantly appeared—a gruesome sight!

The moment after he blasted his opponent’s arms away, Shen Lang leaned forward, grabbed Ye Juexin’s chest, abruptly lifted him up, then spun around and slammed him violently onto the ground!

’Why is his chest so soft...’

Shen Lang froze for a second, then subconsciously tightened his five fingers and squeezed.

"AH!"

A shrill scream echoed through the Martial Arts Arena. Ye Juexin flipped his hands, producing two more daggers. While still on the ground, he slashed directly at Shen Lang’s arm!

’It’s a woman!’

Hearing that ear-piercing scream and remembering the soft feeling in his hand, Shen Lang was instantly shocked.

This Ye Juexin was actually a woman disguised as a man!

Unable to dodge in time, Shen Lang was immediately slashed across the left wrist by the dagger!

Ye Juexin pushed off the ground with her elbow and flipped to her feet.

She spun in mid-air and threw two daggers, which shot toward Shen Lang’s chest like two flashes of cold light!

Shen Lang moved like a phantom to dodge the two daggers, but Ye Juexin had already appeared to his right. She flicked her hands again, and another two daggers flew out at high speed!

"Bastard, I’ll kill you!"

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, her long hair whipping wildly. Now revealed as a woman, Ye Juexin was overcome with furious rage.

She pushed her Body Technique to its absolute limit, "POP POP POP," appearing like a shadow all around Shen Lang—front, back, left, and right. Daggers flew wildly like flying sabers, streaking through the air to stab at him!

Shen Lang dodged left and right, looking slightly beleaguered.

"My daggers are poisoned! In no more than five minutes, the toxin will take effect. Let’s see you fight me then!"

Ye Juexin stopped fighting up close and instead pulled back, continuously flinging daggers.

One after another, jet-black daggers glinting with cold light flew past Shen Lang like flying sabers, embedding themselves in the hard ground. The scene was utterly astonishing.

"Poison?"

Shen Lang sneered. The moment the dagger had touched his arm, he had done almost nothing, yet black scales automatically emerged on his arm to block it. This was a completely reflexive defense against external attacks from his Celestial Demon Body.

It looked as though the dagger had slashed his arm, but while Shen Lang’s sleeve was torn, his arm was completely unscathed!

And Ye Juexin, driven mad with rage after Shen Lang grabbed her chest, had failed to notice that not a single drop of blood had been drawn from his arm!

The people in the surrounding stands were gasping for breath, each one of them rendered speechless.

When had any of the usual martial arts tournaments or duels in Celestial Phoenix City ever been as frenetic as this one?

When had there ever been a fight where every move was lethal, so dazzlingly fast it made one’s heart tremble in fear?

In the stands, Ye Xiao Zheng’s brow furrowed. ’This is bad. Juexin has been provoked by this Ghost-faced Person and is about to use her ultimate move... But that was meant for the Imperial Dragon Sect masters on Xu Daolin’s side! If she uses it now, the Xu Family will be prepared for it later. Sigh...’

Just as Ye Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly, a strange phenomenon indeed occurred on the battle stage!

"Hahahaha..." Ye Juexin laughed manically. She suddenly stopped Concealing her Form and fully revealed herself.

Then, she stomped her foot violently on the ground!

"BOOM!"

As her foot landed, all the daggers densely studding the ground suddenly shot into the air!

"You can die with a smile on your face, knowing you fell to this move of mine!"

Ye Juexin’s gaze toward Shen Lang was filled with chilling Killing Intent. She extended her hands, fingers forming claws, and suddenly snatched forward!

"SHIIIIING..."

All the daggers that had just levitated began to spin rapidly around Shen Lang, forming a massive vortex of blades!

Instantly, the air was filled with the glinting afterimages of daggers, flashing with a cold light. It was a terrifying sight!

However, the truly shocking part was yet to come. As the daggers spun rapidly around Shen Lang, he, inside the vortex, suddenly grunted as his body and hands were bound tightly by several nearly invisible threads!

"Gods, there are threads on the daggers! Two of the daggers are connected by an invisible thread!"

Someone in the crowd screamed in terror.

Everyone was shocked. Focusing their gaze, they saw that Ye Juexin was indeed holding two daggers, and from them, a thread shimmering with a cold light connected to Shen Lang!

Shen Lang’s body was tightly bound by the two barely discernible threads, unable to escape!

"Celestial Silkworm Silk from the Western Wilderness Forbidden Land!"

A look of surprise flashed in Shen Lang’s eyes as he spoke in a cold voice.

"It’s too late to realize that now!"

Ye Juexin shouted, her hands flashing with Spirit Light as she gripped the two daggers, looking as if she was about to yank them outward...

The nearly invisible Celestial Silkworm Silk instantly tightened around Shen Lang, shredding all his clothes and then cutting directly inward!

All Ye Juexin had to do was pull...

The crowd in the stands erupted in an uproar, hardly daring to watch any longer.

Celestial Silkworm Silk was an extremely rare treasure produced in the Western Wilderness Forbidden Land.

This material was as fine as a needle, indestructible, and incomparably sharp, capable of cutting through Profound Iron like tofu.

Wrapped in coils of Celestial Silkworm Silk, even someone with a Xuanwu Realm Cultivation would be powerless to reverse the situation.

With the Celestial Silkworm Silk wrapped around him, one hard pull from Ye Juexin would instantly slice Shen Lang into dozens of pieces!

Meanwhile, the daggers spinning rapidly in the air, under the control of Ye Juexin’s Divine Thought, were moving faster and faster!

With a single thought from Ye Juexin, all these daggers would shoot toward Shen Lang from every direction!

They would riddle him full of holes!

With this two-pronged attack, even Mo Ge, the Ghost-faced Person whom everyone considered the strongest, would die on the spot, reduced to countless fragments...

This technique of Ye Juexin’s was bizarre and unpredictable. Combined with a rare treasure like the Celestial Silkworm Silk from the Western Wilderness Forbidden Land, anyone present would have met the same fate!

In the stands, Xu Daolin stared intently at the stage below, while cold sweat was already trickling down the faces of Long Fong and Yun Qing...

If they had arrogantly rushed down at the beginning, they would be the ones facing all this on the stage right now.

"I said I’d kill you! You won’t live past today, hahahahaha!" Ye Juexin laughed maniacally.

Then, she abruptly pulled her hands outward!

The Celestial Silkworm Silk immediately tightened, cutting into Shen Lang’s body!

"KRAK KRAK KRAK!"

A strange sound suddenly came from Shen Lang’s body—it was the sound of sharp metal grinding!

"He’s wearing Scale Armor! Great, he’s wearing Scale Armor!" From the Chu Family’s stands, Chu Xiuxiu leaped three feet in the air and shouted.

People’s eyes narrowed. Looking closely, they saw that Shen Lang’s clothes had indeed been shredded, revealing Scale Armor underneath that shimmered with a dark, eerie light.

What puzzled people, however, was that Shen Lang’s wrists had clearly not been covered by Scale Armor before, yet now even they were covered by these strange scales.

And so, the Celestial Silkworm Silk was blocked by the Scale Armor, unable to penetrate a single fraction deeper!

"It seems I’m still not ruthless enough... I thought that in the end, you wouldn’t use this Celestial Silkworm Silk, but you used it after all..." Shen Lang’s voice, filled with Killing Intent, drifted across the plaza.

His previously lowered head slowly rose, and a pair of soul-stirring eyes locked onto Ye Juexin!

"This is impossible!" Ye Juexin shouted in disbelief. "When I made contact with you earlier, you weren’t wearing any such Inner Armor!"

"Whether it’s possible or not doesn’t matter anymore, does it?" Shen Lang sneered.

Just as the vortex of daggers suddenly contracted, about to stab into him from all sides, lightning flashed around Shen Lang’s body, and a brilliant light erupted, as blinding as the sun...

"BOOM!"
