The siege of more than twenty Supreme Realm powerhouses—no one had expected this. Anyone could feel that Ye Wushuang was in extreme danger at this moment. Once he was surrounded, there would be no escape.
But just then, the Divine Dragon Empress appeared at his side. She had already dealt with the Supreme Realm powerhouse she was fighting, and now she was willing to stand together with Ye Wushuang to face these powerful enemies.
Her actions left the people from the Yemotian Universe utterly astonished. And then, the Supreme Realm powerhouses from Yemotian all broke into laughter.
“Since they want to be a pair of lovebirds heading to the grave together, let’s grant their wish!!”
“Indeed. This girl isn’t weak either—she actually managed to kill one of our Supreme Realm powerhouses. Perfect. Let them die together!!”
“Kill them! Leave no loose ends behind!!”
Without the slightest hesitation, these Yemotian Supreme Realm experts formed their encirclement and immediately launched their attacks on Ye Wushuang. From the way they struck, it was clear they had no intention of letting Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress make a move.
Now that they understood his fighting style, dealing with Ye Wushuang became simpler. As long as they didn’t let those flames land on their bodies, they would be fine. So they all attacked from a distance, aiming to blast Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress into oblivion.
But just because they wanted to avoid contact didn’t mean they actually could.
The moment they attacked, Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress struck back simultaneously.
First came Ye Wushuang’s flames, which instantly spread across several hundred meters around him. Then the Divine Dragon Empress drew her sword, weaving her sword intent into the sea of flames. If the enemy let their guard down for even an instant, her sword intent could strike out at any moment and take their lives in a flash.
Their coordination was unexpectedly flawless—so good that the Yemotian Supreme Realm powerhouses instinctively retreated the moment they sensed it.
“Don’t get close to their flames! Don’t let their fire touch us—otherwise, we won’t be able to put it out!!”
“For now, all we need is long-range attacks! As long as we land a hit on them, they’re dead—no chance of resistance at all!!”
In the eyes of these Yemotian Supreme Realm powerhouses, Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress were just two Maharaja Realm cultivators. No matter how strong they were, they couldn’t possibly withstand their assaults. Once an attack landed, they would have no ability to fight back. One solid blow would be enough to kill them both. With that thought in mind, the Yemotian Supreme Realm experts grew remarkably patient.
They refused to get close to Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress, relying instead on ranged attacks to slowly wear them down.
However, just because they wouldn’t close in didn’t mean Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress wouldn’t close in on them.
In an instant, the two of them switched up their tactics. Ye Wushuang’s flames transformed into a blazing fire phoenix that swooped straight toward the Yemotian Supreme Realm powerhouses—and within it was woven the Divine Dragon Empress’s formidable swordsmanship.
What’s more, Ye Wushuang moved at blinding speed—so fast that many wondered if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
But the moment that thought crossed their minds, they saw one of their own Supreme Realm experts get ignited by Ye Wushuang’s flames. The ferocious fire engulfed him completely, leaving him no capacity to deal with anything else except desperately trying to extinguish it. And then, the powerful sword intent hidden within the flames instantly cut him down.
Killing a Supreme Realm powerhouse that easily—no one had expected that. And it made the remaining Yemotian Supreme Realm experts grow even more cautious.
But being cautious didn’t mean they could avoid the combined assault of Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress. Caution didn’t make them faster. And Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress were incredibly fast—in the next instant, they had already closed in on another Supreme Realm expert.
Right before everyone’s eyes, they killed that Supreme Realm powerhouse as well.
At this point, the Yemotian Supreme Realm powerhouses finally realized something was terribly wrong.
“This is bad—they’re way too fast! So fast we can’t even keep track of them!!”
“We can’t fight them while scattered anymore! If we do, they’ll pick us off one by one!!”
“We have to group together now! We need to stand united and fend off their attacks together. That’s the only way we won’t give them any chance to break us apart!!”
Many of the Yemotian Supreme Realm experts were already breaking out in cold sweats—a lot of them could feel just how troublesome this was. If they stayed spread out, they’d be easy prey for Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress, since their speed simply couldn’t match up. But if they huddled together, they had to be extremely careful about one thing: Ye Wushuang’s flames.
His fire was simply too fierce—they couldn’t withstand it, and they couldn’t extinguish it either. So now they found themselves caught between a rock and a hard place.
Even so, they still chose to gather together. Only by doing so did they have any chance of victory. If they remained scattered, they might not even have that.
And so, a strange scene unfolded on the battlefield: more than twenty Supreme Realm powerhouses clustered together, warily guarding against two Maharaja Realm cultivators. If the spectators hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. And having seen it, they felt nothing but sheer awe.
This also made many people shift their focus away from their own enemies and onto Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress instead. Even their opponents felt the same way.
But the two protagonists themselves—Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress—remained completely at ease. To others, this scene might have looked incredibly dangerous, but to them, it was just a warm-up. If they went all out, they’d even dare to take on those invincible supreme beings.
And now that their enemies had clustered together, they became even easier to kill.
Ye Wushuang’s flames surged forward in a ferocious assault. Within the fire was woven the Divine Dragon Empress’s boundless sword intent. At this moment, her sword intent was pushed to its absolute limit, to the point where tens of thousands of ethereal swords condensed within Ye Wushuang’s flames.
Every single one of those swords was aimed straight at the Yemotian Supreme Realm powerhouses. It looked to them as if a rain of swords—blazing with fire—was hurtling down upon them. The sight was dazzlingly brilliant, and it made many feel that death was drawing near.
