Chapter 557: Chapter 296: One Man, One Knife, Sweeping All Directions_3

Suddenly, a battle intent emerged from Xiao Yun.

“Dugu Jue, I, Xiao Yun, am here to test you.”

Out of the blue, Xiao Yun soared into the sky, his hands inciting a scorching heat that radiated forth, as if his body was enveloped in an endless sea of magma. Then, in the firmament, a palm print emerged, coloring the sky into a boundless sea of fire.

“This is the Xiao family’s Inherited Divine Ability, Fire God Palm…” some people expressed surprise.

The Fire God Palm was a potent Divine Ability. With the palm being able to incinerate everything, nothing could withstand it.

“The Xiao family from the Qing Province?” Dugu Jue murmured to himself.

The Qing Province’s Xiao family was most famous for a Heavenly Pride who lived eight hundred years ago, whose pyromantic Divine Abilities were almost unbeatable.

Later, he vanished from the public eye, just like the Yuan Emperor.

The one who disappeared with him was a patriarch from his own Dugu family.

The patriarch from the Dugu family was a peerless swordsmanship demon, who had once fought alongside the Yuan Emperor, slaughtering Demon Beasts and suppressing the Hundred Sects, demonstrating extremely powerful swordsmanship.

Unless he had awakened some memories, he would obediently accept the swordsmanship inheritance from the Dugu family.

His thoughts switched, he reigned with pure sword pressure, relying on his physical strength, along with his perfect Saber Intent, even without using his divine abilities, he overwhelmed Xiao Yun directly.

With a swoosh, the burning sky was set alight, and everything was ignited by the Fire God Palm, which was wiped away by a single blow from Dugu Jue.

The sky was full of saber light, and Xiao Yun’s face dramatically changed.

He only felt an unstoppable edge attacking him, the depths of his heart dominated by a sense of loneliness.

Then, his flesh was hit by an extremely powerful force, all his bones shattered, and he was sent flying backwards.

Seeing Xiao Yun get blasted away by a single blow, those old Golden Core Realm powerhouses were once again shocked and started to lose their composure.

This Dugu Jue, was he truly invincible?

Out of the tens of thousands of Heavenly Prides, was there really no one who could match him?

All the people’s gazes slowly fell on Nangong Xue.

After the likes of Ye Xingxuan, Xiao Yun, and the others were successively defeated, it seemed that only Nangong Xue was the one they could rely on.

With the Extremely Yin Constitution inherited from the legendary Nangong family, she should have some hope of defeating Dugu Jue, right?

Among all the people, Chu Ruoxi least wanted Dugu Jue to win.

Dugu Jue, as a person, was rather aloof. The Saber Intent he displayed illustrated his ruthless path. If he indeed won the Heavenly Pride Convention, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Therefore, she placed her last hope on Nangong Xue.

Dugu Jue’s indifferent eyes were now also looking at Nangong Xue.

As if to say, I am waiting for you, fight me.

Feeling the many eyes gathering on her, Nangong Xue slightly shook her head. Although she was gifted with a powerful constitution, she had only broken through the Golden Core Realm less than two years ago.

A normal late-stage Golden Core was something she could handle with her formidable talent.

But Dugu Jue, the power he demonstrated, wasn’t comparable to a typical late-stage Golden Core, even those old peak Golden Core monsters were likely inferior.

With such a huge power gap, what use would it be to go on? To be knocked off the stage by someone else’s move?

“I am not your match right now, the title of the convention and the position of the Celestial Strategy Army commander are yours,”

Nangong Xue’s cold voice instantly silenced Sky Wall City.

She had confessed defeat, just like that, conceding the convention championship and the position of the Celestial Strategy Army to Dugu Jue?

There was also the title of Prince Consort.

Dugu Jue was slightly surprised, as he had not predicted Nangong Xue’s swift concession.

However, he was merely surprised for a moment, quickly recovering, he replied monotonously: “No, the Heavenly Pride Convention is not over yet.”

“It’s not over yet, don’t tell me you really intend to challenge all of us at once?” Xiahou Ying said coldly.

Dugu Jue ignored Xiahou Ying and instead turned his gaze to a secluded corner.

“Since you are here, why not come onto the stage and fight me?”

Hearing these words, everyone looked in surprise towards the corner.

Surprisingly, they saw a young man dressed in a Star Robe with a beautiful face.
