"Lingxian Palace! Ye! Qing! Han!"

Ye Qinghan landed in the center of the field. Today's opponent...

Shangguan Rou?

Ye Qinghan frowned slightly. She had expected to run into Shangguan Rou, but was it a bit too early to meet her today?

It's no secret that Shangguan Rou was a pre-selected top eight contestant, but it's a bit odd that she's coming out to fight me now.

Considering her master's doubts and Shangguan Rou's previous instructions, she couldn't help but feel the need to take this seriously.

The Vajra Bracelet and the Sword Box were summoned at the same time. The Vajra Bracelet was placed on the spiritual platform, while the Sword Box was smashed at the feet, ready to be used!

"On the other side is—the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion! Shangguan Rou!"

To be honest, Dongfang Jue didn't pay much attention to the game at all. She really didn't think any superman could beat Ye Qinghan!

But upon hearing Shangguan Rou's name, he couldn't help but look towards the arena. Was it Sect Leader Cheng who had made his move?

Shangguan Rou, dressed in a long red dress like a bride, walked slowly towards them with an empty scabbard on her back.

Good morning, Miss Qinghan.

Good morning to you, Sister Shangguan.

Su Cheng was stunned the moment he saw the empty scabbard!

"Shiyao, quickly call her 'Senior Sister'!"

Su Cheng was somewhat at a loss. How could this be! This is a weapon that doesn't belong to this world! This is a weapon of authority!

That Blade of Judgment was the weapon of Su Cheng's former comrade-in-arms! It shouldn't exist in this world!

Dongfang Jue was also a little confused, staring blankly at Su Cheng's somewhat flustered expression, an expression she had never seen before.

Panic shouldn't have appeared on Sect Leader Su's angular face. Most of the time, what could make Sect Leader Su slightly panicked was when his two disciples were causing trouble again.

But today's panic was tinged with impatience and resentment!

"Senior Sister! Master..."

The sound was drowned out by the crowd. The duel between the two favorites to win the championship was so intense that every seat was taken and the noise was deafening. Ye Qinghan did not hear Li Shiyao's shouts.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Yu Lan was also a little confused when she saw Su Cheng's panic. Even when facing the old Dragon King, the man who had never shown any fear was now showing such an expression.

What's wrong with that woman named Shangguan Rou?

"Call Qinghan back to me! Yu Lan, call Qinghan back right now!"

But it was too late; Ye Qinghan had already performed the ceremony and was no longer looking in their direction.

Shangguan Rou seemed to draw a long, blazing sword from thin air, while Ye Qinghan continued his teasing...

"Sister, that knife is so cool, but playing with fire can make you wet the bed."

"This knife was bestowed by Master, Sister Qinghan, be careful." After this period of reflection, Shangguan Rou seemed much more composed than Ye Qinghan.

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed!

Ye Qinghan wasn't in a hurry. He casually drew a celestial sword and leaped out. From Ye Qinghan's perspective, Shangguan Rou's aura was only stronger; her cultivation level hadn't changed much compared to a few days ago.

But she didn't expect that in just the moment of their exchange, the instant the two swords made contact, the low-grade immortal flying sword was as fragile as paper and was easily cut in half!

Ye Qinghan was unaware that this was the power to sever everything in the world; otherwise, how could there be any talk of punishment?

In Su Cheng's memory, these flames could set the sky ablaze, and these sharp blades could shatter hope!

At that very moment, Shangguan Rou became the only person to injure Ye Qinghan since the start of the competition!

Even though Ye Qinghan realized that there was something strange about the knife, it was too late to create distance!

The long sword cut a gash in his uniform, running down his left shoulder to his chest. This was the first time Ye Qinghan had suffered such a serious injury since he joined the sect!

Even when my master spanks me, it doesn't hurt this much!

“Husband…” Yu Lan’s eyes were fixed on the arena, her small hand reaching to her side, only to feel the hem of her long robe brush against the back of her hand, stirring up a gentle breeze.

Just as he was about to speak, Su Cheng had already leaped out, ready to break through the great formation and save Ye Qinghan!

Dongfang Jue watched Su Cheng leap out and Yu Lan follow closely behind, but he remained calm. He glanced at Li Shiyao, who had a calm expression on her face, and asked.

"Isn't Shiyao going to help?"

Li Shiyao took a bite of her apple and said casually, "I'm not going."

"Why?"

Li Shiyao turned around and put on an expression as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Because Master is here."

On the other side, Su Cheng, who was eager to save his disciple, was stopped by someone. It was none other than the other party's master, the head of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, the protagonist of the world, the chosen one, and the child of destiny, Cheng Liang.

"Sect Leader Su, it's just a martial arts sparring match. I already instructed Rou'er not to hurt Miss Chenmeng."

Cheng Liang, dressed in white, descended from the sky, followed by several powerful figures from Lingshan and elders from within the sect, clearly having come prepared in advance!

Some were people Su Cheng knew, some were people Su Cheng didn't know, and their cultivation levels were mostly between the Nascent Soul stage and the Body Integration stage...

Cheng Liang was somewhat surprised by Shangguan Rou's performance. He had only intended to give it a try, but he never expected that the weapon and swordsmanship given to him by that fox spirit would be so powerful!

Judging by its power, it's most likely a top-grade immortal treasure!

"Let's not compete anymore! I'll go and tell Qinghan to admit defeat, okay?"

Su Cheng had considered countless possibilities, and even anticipated that Cheng Liang might use underhanded methods, and had prepared countermeasures for each one. But he really didn't expect that Shangguan Rou also had a cheat code!

"Isn't Sect Leader Su taking the martial arts competition at Mount Ling too lightly!"

The one who spoke was the Fourth Elder of Mount Ling, who possessed cultivation and strength comparable to Cheng Liang, and also had two immortal-grade magic treasures, making him a force to be reckoned with!
