Young Master in Flower City

As the Heaven-piercing Halberd attacked, Xiao Tianyu stepped into the void and immediately soared skyward. The Battle Spear stirred the void yet again, diving down fiercely. Bai Bufan observed all this, his hands gripped tightly, and the Heaven-piercing Halberd was in hand, blocking the way. The Battle Spear directly fell on the shaft of the halberd, boom~ a loud noise ensued, causing both of their bodies to simultaneously fall from the void.

Boom~

Another loud noise sounded as Bai Bufan landed feet-first, bang bang~ the ground cracked, and half of his body sank into the earth.

"Rise!" Bai Bufan snorted coldly, his long hair fluttering, a surge of overwhelming soul power swept forth, condensing into a Halberd Aura slashing towards Xiao Tianyu. Xiao Tianyu in the sky immediately flipped upside down, making Bai Bufan’s Halberd Aura miss.

Seizing the moment, Bai Bufan’s body shot up skyward, his momentum domineering, slashing toward Xiao Tianyu with the halberd. In the void, a galaxy appeared, obliterating everything.

Mo Qingluan at the battlefield’s edge watched it all with beautiful eyes, her inner tumult difficult to suppress.

This is peak battle.

Both donned in Golden Battle Robes, yet their power was equal; fighting up to now without determining superiority. Mo Qingluan speculated silently—both so outstanding—how many residual spirits do they truly possess?

Fear it might exceed nine.

Mo Qingluan herself had nine threads of residual spirit, considered unparalleled. Yet, she clearly saw from the battle that both men’s talents superseded her own.

"Destroy!"

At that moment, Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly as the Long Halberd attacked. His Battle Spear swept forth, unleashing an endless storm, obliterating the opponent’s Halberd Aura. Concurrently, Xiao Tianyu took a stride, and the Heaven and Earth Sword roared continuously. In the void, sword aura was boundless, surging forth with a force like overturning the seas.

"Wushuang Battle Halberd!" Bai Bufan snorted coldly, his Heaven-piercing Halberd spinning in hand. Xiao Tianyu’s sword aura was endless, all were annihilated in the void.

Where the Long Halberd aimed.

Bai Bufan strode forward, the Heaven-piercing Halberd surged with thunderous might, transforming into Azure Dragon, devouring heavens and earth.

The Long Halberd resembling a dragon, with intent to eradicate all.

"Not so easy!" Xiao Tianyu eyed the approaching attack, expression solemn, the long spear piercing all, directly shattering the incoming assault. Immediately, Xiao Tianyu’s Battle Spear struck fiercely.

In this moment, Xiao Tianyu wielded not merely a spear, but a Divine Weapon that slaughtered heavens and earth.

His War Robe flaring, the long spear piercing the heavens and earth.

"Exhilarating!" Bai Bufan shouted explosively. Among peers, he had never suffered defeat; today he finally met a well-matched adversary, an exhilarating experience for Bai Bufan.

Was Xiao Tianyu any different?

Once this battle concluded, they would surely become close confidants.

Bang bang bang~

Endless attacks collided in the void, chaos swirling, yet neither had determined supremacy; their aura equally magnificent, seemingly unfatigued.

"Up till now, you’re the strongest I’ve encountered!" Bai Bufan gazed at Xiao Tianyu, Xiao Tianyu nodded: "The same goes for you!"

"But, a victor must emerge!" Bai Bufan stepped into the void, voice resonating: "If you evade one more of my strikes, consider me defeated!"

What formidable decisiveness.

Moreover, from these words, it’s not difficult to hear Bai Bufan still had hidden cards.

Xiao Tianyu eyed his opponent: "Not just you with unseen cards, I also possess them!"

"Good!" Bai Bufan shouted: "Celestial Nine Strikes!"

Rumble~

As the voice fell, the void filled densely with Lei Yun, seemingly under Bai Bufan’s control. In an instant, nine bolts of lightning descended from the void, converging around Bai Bufan like nine giant dragons, terrifying to the extreme.

He was gathering momentum, his aura intensifying.

Roar~

In an instant, Azure Dragon roared, nine bolts of lightning simultaneously whistled toward Xiao Tianyu, obscuring the sky, illuminating the entire firmament.

Celestial Nine Strikes gathered by lightning, unimaginable strength.

Xiao Tianyu watched it all, long hair fluttering, expression exceptionally serene.

Thud~

Then, Xiao Tianyu stomped the void, an explosion of energy waves, behind him rose an incredibly fearsome Sword Aura.

A thousand-meter Sword Aura, obliterating all.

The Sword’s presence likewise annihilated everything.

"Is victory about to be decided?" Below, Mo Qingluan’s beautiful eyes revealed awe, both their auras had reached a peak, and seemingly Xiao Tianyu’s single strike encompassed not only unyielding law but also ominous Path of Heaven and Earth.

All-embracing, Three Thousand Great Dao.

Xiao Tianyu’s Daoist Skill flourished, seemingly commanding all beings.

Swish~

In an instant, the thousand-meter Sword Aura slowly pressed from the void, appearing slow yet actually slashing down in a mere moment, cutting through everything.

At the same time, in the void, infinite radiance flowed, Xiao Tianyu’s presence undergoing a spectacular transformation; at that instant of the saber’s slash, Xiao Tianyu appeared as an unrivaled monarch.

His authority, irrefutable.

Splat splat splat~

Bai Bufan’s Celestial Nine Strikes, under the Sword Aura, were thoroughly submerged; the Sword Aura like Azure Dragon continued its oppression, seemingly truly achieving a single slash overcoming the heavenly vault.

Now, Bai Bufan’s body was enveloped by Xiao Tianyu’s Sword Aura, like an unbreakable cage, leaving Bai Bufan without hiding.

Seems exactly as Xiao Tianyu stated—Bai Bufan might have reserves, and Xiao Tianyu did as well.

If earlier, Xiao Tianyu had unveiled such a fearsome slash, Bai Bufan might not have endured till now.

"You’ve lost!" Xiao Tianyu’s Battle Spear pointed at Bai Bufan’s throat; just an inch forward, that spear unerringly kills Bai Bufan unperceptively.

In this duel, Bai Bufan ultimately fell a step short, defeated by Xiao Tianyu.

"Reigning supreme?" Mo Qingluan’s beautiful eyes flickered, her heart stirred a torrential wave.

What is suppressing an era, this is.

Mighty as Bai Bufan was, still defeated by him, emerging as the sole one in Soul Refining Battlefield.

Recalling earlier, when encountering Xiao Tianyu, Xiao Tianyu donned only an ordinary war robe. After slaying the Golden Armored Flood Dragon by the sea, finally adorned in bronze, yet attracted the besiegement of all major cities.

At that time, Xiao Tianyu seemed cornered from everyone’s view, yet he single-handedly forged a bloody path of escape, later leading to the Drumming Battlefield.

Zhou Mian, Li Mo, Jin Mo, Lu Ming, Tie Wushuang, and others, were so proud, even disdainful, stating that here did not belong to Xiao Tianyu.

But now, these self-proclaimed exceptional sons of heaven one by one vanished from the battlefield.

Yet he, Xiao Tianyu, remains, furthermore having defeated Thousand Cities’ legendary Bai Bufan, ultimately reaching the peak.

This is Xiao Tianyu’s era, the Soul Refining Battlefield distinguished Xiao Tianyu, accomplishing singularity; all serve only as foils, merely stepping stones for him.

Henceforth, the name of Xiao Tianyu will certainly incite boundless fervor within Thousand Cities.

...

Elsewhere.

Ice Sea City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Mo Xuan sat atop the main position of the grand hall, below him were the envoys of Celestial Demon City.

Currently, with Celestial Demon City’s City Lord sending people over, Mo Xuan and those in the City Lord’s Mansion knew well—it must be due to Celestial Demon City’s legendary Yao Junlin returning, prompting the Celestial Demon City to send an invitation.

Invitation?

Perhaps using the term "intimidation" is more accurate.

On the Wind and Cloud Banquet Battle Platform, Xiao Tianyu not only crippled Shui Jun but killed Jin Jun, defeating one of Twin Beauties, Demon Heaven—a battle of utmost attention, leaving Celestial Demon City shamed, which is widely known.

Now, with Yao Junlin back from Yanzhou Central Region, this matter certainly won’t settle peacefully.
