The first battle among the four was between Ye Xuan and Gu Hanxiang.
"Young talents are indeed to be feared. If I hadn’t been born a few years before you, I fear I would not be your match now."
Gu Hanxiang’s beautiful eyes contained a hint of admiration as she spoke the truth. Ye Xuan’s strength had beco quite astonishing now; when she was his age, she was far from his level.
"The path of Martial Arts is such that the achiever leads the way. Age and such are not the focus."
Ye Xuan’s expression was indifferent. Gu Hanxiang indeed spoke the truth, but the matter of age is important to so and not to others. Only when one’s strength reaches that level does it truly count.
"Fine then, I won’t hold back. Let’s begin; speed is my advantage, so be careful," Gu Hanxiang said to Ye Xuan.
Below the stage, Ling Qianxue pursed her lips. Not only was speed an advantage, but Gu Hanxiang herself was not human; she was a Holy Level Demon Beast, the Ice Crystal Phoenix. It was known that the phoenix was a Divine Beast of ancient tis, and although the Ice Crystal Phoenix had not yet reached the level of the phoenix, it could evolve with cultivation progress. Plus, with her extraordinarily high intelligence and formidable defense and strength, speed was an advantage, but it would be a grave mistake to overlook her other aspects because of this.
"I will be careful," Ye Xuan nodded. He found Gu Hanxiang rather agreeable.
Swoosh!
As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, a snowflake flashed through the void, and Gu Hanxiang appeared to his right. However, she did not attack, as Ye Xuan was already facing her. The snowflake flashed again, and Gu Hanxiang instantly appeared behind Ye Xuan, but in this lightning-fast mont, Ye Xuan also reacted, still facing her, their eyes eting, ready for battle.
"What sharp reactions," comnted Sikong Wuji, a glimr of light in his eyes. To keep up with Gu Hanxiang’s speed, such reaction speed was terrifying.
"Just now, it was the speed that caused the defeat, and it was a total rout."
Watching the scene unfold, Ling Qianxue was reminded of her recent battle with Gu Hanxiang, where she had lost so badly because she couldn’t keep pace with Gu Hanxiang’s speed.
Pushing the speed of the snowflake to its limit, Gu Hanxiang appeared around Ye Xuan, front, back, left, right, and above. The five Gu Hanxiangs seed vivid and lifelike, indistinguishable between reality and illusion. To be precise, all five of them were real to so extent.
"Using True Yuan to simulate clones that can emit the sa aura as the original body."
Ye Xuan pondered, he refused to believe that the other four were just afterimages. If one were careless, being defeated by a clone was not impossible.
Whoosh!
The five Gu Hanxiangs moved at once, closing in on Ye Xuan.
"It’s ti to end this probing!"
As he spoke, Ye Xuan’s left hand trembled slightly. The next mont, four of the Gu Hanxiangs disappeared, leaving only the one directly in front remaining.
"Your reaction speed is the fastest I have ever seen," said Gu Hanxiang, a flash of light in her eyes.
Actually, those four clones had been condensed by her after setting up her domain. It was in combination with her unfathomable speed that the four clones seed so lifelike. However, Ye Xuan’s reaction speed far surpassed the speed of sound, and not only that, he was still able to analyze the situation calmly at such high speeds. This state of mind was nothing short of terrifying.
The onlookers had already broken out in cold sweat. The probing between these two was too fearso. They had not yet formally clashed, but it had already brought them imnse pressure. Gu Hanxiang’s movent speed had indeed reached another level. If the movents of others were traceable, then Gu Hanxiang’s movents were now untraceable. As for Ye Xuan’s reaction speed, that was even more astonishing. When facing soone with such terrifying reaction speed, could you still hope to catch them off guard?
"However, unless you can achieve zero mistakes, you won’t be able to stand your ground."
A gleam flashed in Gu Hanxiang’s eyes, and then her figure suddenly beca blurred. Next, the Ice Snow Domain suddenly spread to the four corners of the combat area.
"Ice Snow Domain, this is even a level higher than the Snow Sword Formation. Doesn’t this an that with the domain in place, Gu Hanxiang would be in an invincible position?"
"Indeed, it’s very tricky."
"Even the sharpest perception seems powerless now. If it were us, we probably wouldn’t be able to touch even a hair on Gu Hanxiang. Let’s see how Ye Xuan responds."
As the onlookers, they all felt a great pressure, not to ntion Ye Xuan, who was in the midst of the fray.
"Only Martial Emperor powerhouses possess domains. This is not a domain but rather a special field."
Ye Xuan watched as the ice and snow filled the air around him. Gu Hanxiang’s figure had already disappeared, hidden within this field.
In an instant, Gu Hanxiang appeared in front of Ye Xuan and thrust her sword. This move was almost in the blink of an eye. Gu Hanxiang was certain that even the fastest of reaction tis could not predict her attack.
Clang!
The Rain Saint Sword parried Gu Hanxiang’s sword light, accompanied by a clear sound, and bright sparks scattered in all directions.
"How is this possible?"
Gu Hanxiang’s pretty face changed, and then her gaze fell on a spot between Ye Xuan’s eyebrows. There, there was an eye of gold that exuded a restrained, dominant aura.
"Emperor’s Eye!"
The four words abruptly surfaced in Gu Hanxiang’s mind, and her gaze suddenly beca one of horror. The Emperor’s Eye, which could peer through the mountains and rivers of the world and look down upon the nine domains.
The Emperor’s Eye was not inferior to the Ancient Saint Emperor physique of Yuan Taiyi, and might even be superior. In the history of the Spirit Martial Continent, the Saint Emperor physique had been born more frequently than the Emperor’s Eye. The Saint Emperor’s physique was a type of constitution, while the Emperor’s Eye, rare since ancient tis, was a kind of extraordinary Divine Skill.
It was said that only the most outstanding talents of the Human Clan could manifest the Emperor’s Eye. Of course, there was no basis for this claim, but it also fully illustrated the rarity of the Emperor’s Eye and the terrifying reputation it had left on the Spirit Martial Continent.
"Being distracted during battle is not a good habit."
Ye Xuan’s sword technique changed, and the Rain Saint Sword twirled, striking directly towards Gu Hanxiang’s snow-white neck.
Ding!
Gu Hanxiang fended off Ye Xuan’s sword light, her body light as a swallow, standing atop a clump of snowflakes, her eyebrows knitting together.
Ye Xuan possessed the Emperor’s Eye, which undoubtedly would greatly diminish the power of her Ice Snow Domain, because her utmost speed needed to be exerted through the domain. Now that Ye Xuan could see through the illusions of the domain, it ant that her pride in her speed would be hard pressed to unexpectedly harm Ye Xuan.
She had originally thought that Ye Xuan would be an easy opponent, but the reality turned out to be the exact opposite. Ye Xuan, on the contrary, seed to have a significant restraint on her.
However, she was not panicked. Even with the Emperor’s Eye, it did not an Ye Xuan would win. With her speed, even if Ye Xuan could see through her movents, he could not harm her. As long as the domain existed, it was tantamount to her standing on unbeatable ground.
