BTTH: The Legend Of Xiu Emperor

As the referee, Hun Dun naturally noticed that something was wrong with Hun Dan, but so what? This was not his concern.

At this moment, Hun Dun's gaze was fixed on the sword sphere condensed by Hun Xiu. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.

If he guessed correctly, this sword sphere was the advanced earth-level fighting skill, "Wind and Dust Sword Art."

Although it is an earth-level fighting skill, it can unleash destructive power comparable to that of a heaven-level fighting skill.

What shocked Hun Dun was not that Hun Xiu could use the "Wind and Dust Sword Art" but that the sword technique displayed by Hun Xiu was far beyond what a Dou Huang powerhouse could typically exhibit.

The higher the level of the fighting skill, the more terrifying the fighting spirit it consumes.

Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs can only barely use high-level earth-level fighting skills, and their explosive power is often limited.

However, the high-level earth-level fighting skill displayed by Hun Xiu was extraordinarily powerful.

He demonstrated the technique's power almost perfectly, making it seem far beyond the abilities of a Dou Huang powerhouse.

The sword sphere gradually expanded with no intention of stopping. The power of heaven and earth continued to surge madly toward it.

The terrifying aura emitted from the sword sphere permeated the entire world.

At this moment, everyone felt a chill on their backs. A breath of death seemed to seep into their very souls.

They looked up at the sword sphere condensed by Hun Xiu, their pupils widening in shock.

"Hiss…"

Everyone gasped, utterly astounded.

Hun Dan stared at the sword sphere that Hun Xiu had condensed in the void, his face turning pale with fear.

The power contained in the sword sphere was simply beyond anything he could contend with.

His legs trembled uncontrollably, and the chill of death enveloped his entire being.

Just as Hun Xiu was about to unleash the sword sphere, Hundan shouted, "I admit defeat! I, Hun Dan, admit defeat!"

But Hun Dan's words came too late. Hun Xiu had already let the sword sphere go.

The sword sphere, now untethered, flew forward like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, completely out of control.

In an instant, the entire world was filled with the light of swords. The sword sphere fragmented into countless sharp swords, each flying toward Hun Dan.

"..."

Hun Dan was already paralyzed with fear as he saw the countless sword lights raining down.

He collapsed to the ground, completely overwhelmed.

He thought to himself, "Am I… still too late after all? Goodbye, my goddess Huan'er. I will always love you."

Boom!

The sky was filled with the shadows of swords, all converging toward Hun Dan on the martial arts stage.

It seemed certain that his life would end.

Even the simplest observers could sense it.

At this critical moment, Hun Dun, the referee, appeared in front of Hun Dan in an instant.

He raised his palm, and an invisible barrier enveloped Hun Dan and the entire martial arts arena.

The spectators, sensing the danger, quickly ran away.

In this world, unless you possessed extraordinary strength, even watching a battle could be perilous.

Boom!

The deafening roar echoed, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Puff!"

Hun Dun's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

---

The younger generation of the Soul Clan watched in disbelief as an elder like Hun Dun struggled to withstand Hun Xiu's attack.

They wondered, "If not for Elder Hun Dun, what would have happened to us?"

Hun Dun murmured, "I was careless," as he gathered his dou qi.

He concentrated his power on his palm, and the invisible barrier emitted a brilliant light, expanding outward.

Gradually, the countless sword shadows and lights disappeared.

Hun Dun retracted his hand, looking calmly at Hun Xiu, who stood in the void, holding his sword. He announced, "In this match, Hun Xiu wins."

---

Hun Xiu bowed slightly to Hun Dun and walked back to the platform, where Gu Xun'er was waiting.

Gu Xun'er quickly stood up and threw herself into Hun Xiu's arms. In her crisp voice, she said, "Brother Hun Xiu, you're amazing!"

She then kissed Hun Xiu on the cheek.

Gu Yuan, standing nearby, saw the scene and turned green with frustration.

However, Hun Tiandi maintained a composed smile.

Hun Xiu was momentarily stunned by Gu Xun'er's gesture. He hadn't expected her to kiss him.

More matches continued on the martial arts stage, leading to the top contestants moving forward in the tournament.
