Upon sensing the Poison Phoenix's unwelcoming aura, Silver Dragon remained calm as he chuckled, "I don't really want anything from you." "Then why are you bothering me? Go away, as far as possible, until I cannot see your annoying face with my divine sense." Poison Phoenix coldly sneered. "Even though I don't need anything from you, I couldn't help but notice you staring at my friend very intently." Silver Dragon said, still with a smile on his face. Poison Phoenix's expression changed drastically after hearing his words, and she quickly asked, "Your friend? You know that man?" "Ohho? Am I thinking too much or is the Poison Phoenix, who is prominent for having no interest in anything, actually interested in someone— a man, at that?" Silver Dragon spoke in a teasing voice. Poison Phoenix began emitting killing intent, "If you value your life, you better watch your mouth when you speak to me, you half-breed dragon." "..." Her words wiped the smile off Silver Dragon's face, who also started emitting killing intent. The ladies with Poison Phoenix shuddered at their clashing killing intent, but the Four Dragons and Phoenixes often fought with each other due to their rivalry nature, so they weren't surprised at all. "Hmph." Silver Dragon was the first to retrieve his killing intent. "Forget it. I'm not going to fight with you here, especially since it will disturb the Sword Trial. You know what happens if someone disturbs an ongoing challenge in this place, right?" "I'm not stupid like you." Poison Phoenix also retracted her killing intent. There was a strict rule that everyone must follow while inside the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. This rule prohibited anyone from disturbing an ongoing trial. Those who violate this rule will be executed on the spot. However, even though most people know this rule, there will also still be those who are either ignorant or don't care about the rule. "Why the fuck is he taking so damn long?! Can't he see that there are other people waiting to take the trial?! Does he think we have an unlimited amount of time in this place or something?!" A bulky man with long wavy hair and a crusty beard suddenly jumped out of the crowd and towards the platform. "If you're going to take your sweet ass time, I'll end this for you right now!" "Stop! What do you think you're doing?!" The spectators there shouted at him to stop, but nobody dared to physically intervene. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 Once the bearded man was about 50 meters away from the platform, an unfathomable pressure suddenly that could only be felt by the man appeared, and it halted the man midair. "It's over for him." "What an idiot." The spectators merely shook their heads upon seeing this. The next second, the bearded man's expression became filled with horror as his body began twisting like a pretzel stick until it could no longer withstand the pressure and burst like a balloon. Strangely enough, there was no blood or meat showering the crowd below, almost as though his body was made of air. A second after the man's gruesome death that was witnessed by all, a profound voice resounded in the head of everyone there excluding Yuan. "Without exception, those who dare to disturb the trial will be executed." This voice that was backed by an unfathomable strength sent chills down their spine with some even falling on their butt. "The creator of this place is truly something else…" Silver Dragon mumbled with a nervous smile on his face. "Hey, how do you think he would fare against the peak experts in the Supreme Heaven?" He turned to look at Poison Phoenix. "Why are you still here? Get lost." Silver Dragon shrugged and turned around to leave, but he stopped again after two steps. "Oh, right, do you still want to know about that man?" He turned to ask her. "Scram!" Poison Phoenix growled in a low voice. However, instead of leaving, Silver Dragon decided to stay and start speaking without looking at her, almost as though he was talking to himself, "Honestly, I don't know much about him, either. His name is Xiao Yang, and we met not long ago at the Sword Pagoda." When Silver Dragon started talking, Poison Phoenix acted like she couldn't care less, but she was actually listening with interest. Silver Dragon spoke about how they met and Xiao Yang's achievements at the Sword Pagoda. Meanwhile, on the platform, Yuan was still focused on his training using the Spirit. Since the Spirit doesn't seem to have any intentions on defeating him as soon as possible, he wanted to take this chance to train himself, especially since he rarely encounters a powerful opponent like the Spirit. As for the Spirit, she knew very well what Yuan was trying to do, but she didn't care about it, as this was her first time being summoned since the creation of the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, and as a battle junkie herself, she wanted the fight to last as long as possible. However, she eventually couldn't be satisfied with their current pace, so she began increasing her power and speed to make things more entertaining. 'If I increase the pace by another 15 percent, would he be able to keep up?' The Spirit wondered inwardly. But before she could even decide, Yuan suddenly decided to speed up the pace by another 20 percent. This caught the Spirit by surprise, causing her to miss one of Yuan's strikes for the first time. Crack! The tip of Yuan's sword only managed to brush against her mask, but due to the Sword Aura surrounding the blade, it damaged the mask just enough to cut a portion off. The Spirit stopped fighting and stood still after she realized what had just happened. "You little bastard… How dare you damage my mask!" The Spirit spoke in a cold voice before she proceeded to remove the rest of the mask, revealing her face to the crowd. Yuan's eyes widened with surprise after seeing her face, and he subconsciously muttered, "Li Jinxi?"
