Chapter 2436 Another Victory

“Oh my god, the people from Jueqing Valley are actually this powerful. Is this the legendary ability to harm without a trace?”

“It’s truly amazing. To defeat a Void Tempering expert with just one song, is there anything more exaggerated than this?”

“Legend has it that she is also a hot favorite to win this competition. I wonder who is stronger between her and Han Jian Xian Zi…”

After the referee announced the result, Wangchen directly stepped down from the stage and returned to her seat, but the surrounding discussions continued incessantly.

All of this sounds complicated, but it only took a few minutes. Some of the other arenas hadn't even started their matches yet.

Ye Bufan shifted his gaze to another arena nearby.

Lu Xueman stood on the stage, and opposite her was a Young man in white, Dong Guanhai from Lingxiao Academy in Tianwu State.

Although this fellow was also a Body Integration Peak Cultivator, his face was full of arrogance.

There was no other reason than the fact that the other party came from Tianluo State. Tianwu State was the strongest in Kunlun Continent, and Tianluo State was the weakest. Because of this, he didn't put the other party in his eyes at all.

Although Jiang Fangzhou had won a match before, in his opinion, that was just a fluke, and his strength was not worth mentioning.

“Come on, I’ll let you have three Moves first, since you’re a woman.”

Dong Guanhai spoke extremely arrogantly, completely in a condescending manner.

Since the other party insisted on showing off, Lu Xueman didn't stand on ceremony at all. With a swish, she drew the treasured sword from her back and unleashed a dazzling cold light, stabbing towards the opponent's throat.

As the saying goes, an expert reveals himself with a single Move. When she thrust out this sword, everyone present changed their expressions.

Even a fool could now see that this beautiful woman in front of them was not a Void Refining Realm Cultivator at all, but had hidden her true Cultivation.

Baili Xingkong on the viewing platform snorted, “Are all the people from Tianluo State like this? Can’t they be straightforward and have to hide their Cultivation?”

Ximen Feng smiled faintly: “Your Highness, what you said is not right. You were the one who said that once on stage, everyone is an enemy. Is there anything wrong with hiding one’s Cultivation from an enemy? Besides, this does not violate the rules of the competition.

Furthermore, it was that Young man himself who was arrogant and insisted on letting the other party have three Moves, so who can he blame?”

Baili Xingkong’s expression froze, having been rebuffed by her, then he said sullenly: “What does it matter? Even if you seize the initiative, in the end, it still depends on your own strength.”

On the arena, feeling the power of Lu Xueman’s sword, Dong Guanhai’s mind was completely in chaos.

He originally thought that the other party’s Cultivation was definitely inferior to his own, so he wanted to show off and let the other party have three Moves, but he didn’t expect that with one Move, he was already completely at a disadvantage.

Facing this incredibly powerful sword, he had no other option but to retreat quickly.

He hoped that the opponent’s speed was not as fast as his own, which would allow him to gain a moment to catch his breath and turn the current disadvantage around.

But the reality was clearly that he had thought too much. Lu Xueman’s speed was not at all slower than his, and she would not give him this opportunity.

The treasured sword in her hand, with its sharp sword light, was like a maggot in the bone, still stabbing towards his throat.

Feeling the Killing Intent released from the treasured sword so close, Dong Guanhai completely panicked, his heart filled with regret.

At this moment, how could he not see that the opponent’s Cultivation was not at all beneath his own; she was clearly also at the Body Integration Peak. In this situation, letting the other party have three Moves was completely asking for humiliation.

He couldn’t understand, when did the Cultivators of the always weak Tianluo State become so powerful?

But the sharp sword edge was right in front of him, and at this moment, it gave him no chance to think further.

Seeing the arena railing behind him, another step back would mean falling off. In desperation, he could only Move sideways, trying to avoid this sword.

But Lu Xueman seemed to have anticipated it. With a flick of her wrist, the treasured sword followed closely and stabbed over.

“I…”

Dong Guanhai was so frustrated he wanted to die. From the start of the fight, he had been suppressed and hadn't been able to recover his breath until now.

In desperation, he could only dodge again. At the same time, he drew the treasured sword from his back and met Lu Xueman’s long sword.

According to his idea, he wanted to use his Cultivation to shake off the opponent’s treasured sword and buy himself a moment to catch his breath.

As long as he could recover, he believed that with his strength, he would definitely be able to win this match.

But he was currently completely at a disadvantage, suppressed to death, and with this sword swing, he couldn't even unleash fifty percent of his Cultivation.

The two long swords clashed together, making a ding sound. Although he barely blocked the sword, that was all it was. He couldn't shake Lu Xueman back at all.

Before he could retreat, another sword light flashed, and the treasured sword in Lu Xueman’s hand struck again.

In desperation, Dong Guanhai could only desperately resist again. He couldn't understand why the opponent’s Cultivation was so powerful and her Moves so seasoned?

How could he know that although Lu Xueman had just advanced to the Body Integration Peak, she usually sparred with Dongxu Stage powerhouses like Nalan Yujia, and she cultivated the high-Rank Cultivation Technique that Ye Bufan had passed on. Her combat ability was naturally incomparable to ordinary Cultivators.

Even if he tried his best, he probably wouldn't be her opponent, not to mention that he showed off from the start, directly giving away three Moves, losing the initiative.

The surrounding crowd was also completely dumbfounded. In their opinion, Lu Xueman was just a beautiful vase, and in terms of strength, she definitely wasn't an opponent.

The result, however, greatly surprised them. From the very beginning, Dong Guanhai was suppressed and beaten by her, completely unable to fight back.

Baili Xingkong looked astonished; clearly, Lu Xueman’s performance also exceeded his expectations.

Ximen Feng smiled faintly: “Your Highness, the result might disappoint you.”

On the arena, Lu Xueman’s Seventy-Two Road Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Sword gave Dong Guanhai no chance to breathe, suppressing him completely, and the gap grew larger and larger.

This fellow had a body full of Cultivation, but he was suppressed and couldn't recover his breath, always unable to launch an effective counterattack.

After barely holding on for ten Moves, Dong Guanhai used all his strength to block Lu Xueman’s sword, but it also left him completely exposed.

He was then kicked in the lower abdomen, and his whole body flew backward, directly falling off the arena.

Dong Guanhai was full of unwillingness, struggling to stand up, then he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

This match was too frustrating. He was always suppressed by the opponent, and couldn't even unleash half of his strength.

But who could he blame? He could only blame his arrogance and contempt for Cultivators from Tianluo State, losing the initiative from the start.

While he was unwilling and angry, the surrounding crowd was incredibly excited.

As spectators, they naturally didn't want to see a one-sided match. The more suspenseful, the better, the more intense, the better. And now, Lu Xueman’s performance just fulfilled their wish.

“Oh my god, when did Tianluo State become so powerful…?”

“Tianluo State actually won another match. Will it become the dark horse of this competition…?”

“A comeback! This is truly a comeback, making people look at them with new eyes…”

The surrounding crowd discussed animatedly. The Disciples from various Schools participating in the competition were also quite surprised, but that was all.

In the eyes of most people, even if Lu Xueman’s performance was somewhat stunning, Tianluo State was still the weakest in strength and was destined not to go far.
