Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

The Duel Arena in Barbarian Valley City was abuzz with excitement, as anticipatory gazes were fixed on Xiao Ye and Han Tian.

Both individuals had displayed extraordinary strength in the previous two rounds, towering far above the young generation of Barbarian Valley City, their prowess truly terrifying.

Now they faced each other like the point of a needle against the tip of a wheat stalk, clashing in the third round, which immediately sparked immense interest, causing an unprecedented surge in the atmosphere. Even the Martial Artists from the Ten Great Families were all intently focused.

The debate over who was stronger between the two also ignited fierce discussions among the crowd.

"Han Tian's Physical Body Power can cause the City Entrance Stone to emit four halos of light, unequivocally the foremost among Barbarian Valley City's young generation. He is definitely the one who will emerge victorious in the end." Immediately, an older Martial Artist reflected with a sigh.

"That's not necessarily the case. I find this young man, Xiao Ye, to be quite remarkable. In the previous two rounds, he drew a bye, so he did not exhibit all his strength. However, from his previous battles, his Physical Body Power is also considerable."

"I think he may not necessarily lose to Han Tian." This comment by the Martial Artist was promptly met with opposition.

"I also think that Han Tian will win, after all, his Physical Body Power is well acknowledged. I heard that Xiao Ye only arrived in Barbarian Valley City a month ago. I heard that at that time he also tested himself with the City Entrance Stone, which then could only trigger three and a half halos of light. This is well-known."

"Now only a month has passed, how much do you believe his Physical Body Power has improved?" Many other Martial Artists echoed this sentiment, among them some who had personally witnessed the incident from a month ago.

Various intense discussions by the onlooking Martial Artists in Barbarian Valley City centered around Xiao Ye and Han Tian, with some even starting to place bets right away.

Regardless of the outcome, after this confrontation between the Heavenly Prides of the Ten Great Families of Barbarian Valley City, even if Xiao Ye were to lose to Han Tian, his reputation would still rise within the city, becoming well-known by all; he is indeed a formidable genius.

"Young Hero Xiao Ye, it's all up to you next." Yang Wudao, seated in the Han Family area, clenched his fists, his palms sweating with nervous anticipation.

It could be said that the chance for the three Heavenly Prides of the Yang Family to smoothly enter the top three depended on this duel. Otherwise, Yang Qianfan or Yang Qianyu facing Han Tian in the next round would have a very high probability of defeat.

Thus, the Yang Family's ultimate fate now rested entirely on Xiao Ye's shoulders.

"Considering the significant energy expenditure of our Heavenly Prides in the first two rounds, the third round will begin after a half-hour break." At this moment, the black-robed elder serving as the judge proclaimed loudly, his gaze sweeping unintentionally over Xiao Ye.

He was giving Xiao Ye a helping hand.

After all, he felt that Xiao Ye's opponent this time was extraordinary and had to be met with full energy.

"Heh, a half-hour?"

"Fine, I'll be generous and give you half an hour to cling onto life," said Han Tian with a mocking smile towards Xiao Ye, about to return to the Han Family's area.

However, at that moment, under the watchful eyes of all, Xiao Ye took a step forward and said with a cold smile, "No need for that. Half an hour for me is just a waste of time; defeating you won't take much effort at all."

"Besides, I'm somewhat impatient to see if you can still be so arrogant when I have you under my feet."

As Xiao Ye's words fell, a wave of gasps sounded, leaving everyone stunned.

Xiao Ye had actually chosen to forgo the rest period and confront Han Tian directly?

Swish!

At that moment, Han Tian suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with intense cold light, and sneered at Xiao Ye, "Very good, since you have this idea, then I will satisfy you. It's just a pity that these words are exactly what I wanted to say to you."

Tip for tat!

A thick scent of gunpowder spread throughout the arena.

The black-robed elder acting as the referee slightly frowned, disapprovingly looking at Xiao Ye, "You really don't know what's good for you!"

He had done this for Xiao Ye's sake, yet the latter actually refused.

As a participant in this showdown of Heavenly Prides, he had no right to forcefully demand that the other party rest. So he coldly flicked his sleeve and said, "Fine, since both of you agree to start the duel, let's begin!"

Whoosh!

The moment his words finished, he shot onto the stage like an arrow, coldly looming over Xiao Ye from above. A tremendous surge of Blood Qi began to stir, resonating with the void, and generating a tornado storm that swept across the entire Duel Arena.

Instantly, the Martial Artists close to the stage felt a fierce wind howl toward them, causing everyone to involuntarily step back several paces before coming to a stop, gazing at Han Tian on the stage with awe.

Xiao Ye's black hair danced wildly, facing the powerful Blood Qi emitted by Han Tian head-on. Going against the flow, he ascended the stage, his robe dancing in the wind, remaining strikingly calm, but his eyes flickered with an invincible War Intent.

"Very good, daring to show War Intent when facing me. But don't expect any miracles in the face of absolute strength. I will use all my power to defeat you…" Han Tian stared at Xiao Ye, beginning to speak.

But before he could finish, Xiao Ye interrupted him impatiently, "Are you done with your nonsense? If you want to fight, then fight, why do you talk so much like a woman, all blather and no action!"

Xiao Ye was indeed speechless before such an arrogant Han Tian.

"You're asking for death!" Han Tian's face darkened, his eyes burning with raging fire. Being repeatedly met with Xiao Ye's cold indifference, he was thoroughly enraged.

Boom!

Han Tian's figure exploded into action, his Blood Qi bursting forth like an erupting volcano, gushing out in an instant. He appeared in front of Xiao Ye in a flash, unleashing a fist mixed with unparalleled Physical Body Power, ferociously striking out and completely engulfing the stage.

Xiao Ye snorted coldly, releasing a purple radiance from his body, like a Purple War God going head-on into battle. His fists swung, terrible punching power rolling up to the Nine Heavens, shattering Heaven itself.

Without any further talk, Xiao Ye immediately activated his Perfect Realm Sky Breaking Fist!

Boom!

The two collided fiercely, horrifying Physical Body Power spreading out like waves in all directions, causing the entire stage to violently shake. Cracks thick as fingers spread from where they fought, covering the entire stage and raising a dust cloud that obscured the sky, billowing wildly.

The watching Martial Artists all cried out in astonishment.

Neither man resorted to any fancy techniques; it was pure Physical Body Power clashing against each other, a bona fide confrontation of physical strength. Who would prove to be the stronger?
