"Gongsun Yaoqin, now that we have met on a narrow path, and you have met an opponent like me, you can only obediently admit defeat and submit to your will."

Zhao Ziyi tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation and disdain, staring intently at Gongsun Yaoqin. A mocking smile appeared on her lips as she slowly spoke.

Although Fang Yingxue's strength far exceeded her original expectations, making her secretly wary.

However, when facing Gongsun Yaoqin, the confidence in her heart swelled up again.

After all, under her meticulous observation, she did not detect any powerful aura from Gongsun Yaoqin, as if the person in front of her was nothing more than a weakling with no substance.

Little did she know that Gongsun Yaoqin had already reached the advanced stage of the early Divine Sense Realm, and her true combat strength was worlds apart from hers, far exceeding her imagination.

"Zhao Ziyi, back then you were so vicious that you secretly tried to poison my master. Then you even went so far as to participate in the depravity and turn my master into a medicine man. With such deep hatred, I will definitely make you suffer a crushing defeat today, make you lose everything, and make you pay a terrible price for your past evil deeds!"

Gongsun Yaoqin's expression was calm as still water, but her eyes revealed an undeniable firmness and coldness. She said indifferently, "You should make your move first. Otherwise, once I make my move, you will have no chance to make a move at all. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance then."

"Hmph, you're asking for death! Today I'll show you that arrogance comes at a price!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyi was instantly enraged, her face darkening with anger and her eyes blazing with fury.

She gripped the sword tightly, swung her arm forcefully, and a fierce sword aura shot out instantly, like a bolt of lightning, slashing directly at Gongsun Yaoqin with lightning speed.

Although the woman felt deep down that she had the victory in the duel, she dared not underestimate her opponent in the slightest.

After all, Su Chun's crushing defeat was still fresh in her mind, and she didn't want to repeat the same mistake, losing her cultivation and ending up in a miserable state like Su Chun.

"Wow! Look! This sword energy is so condensed and its momentum is extraordinary. It seems that Zhao Ziyi has already entered the Foundation Establishment Realm. No wonder she performed so easily in the preliminary rounds. It turns out she has been hiding her strength all along. She is truly a master of disguise!"

The moment Zhao Ziyi unleashed her sword energy, someone in the crowd widened their eyes, their face filled with astonishment, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Before the exclamation had even faded, the sharp sword energy unleashed by Zhao Ziyi had already reached Gongsun Yaoqin like a gust of wind.

Its sharp aura seemed to tear everything around it apart.

But Gongsun Yaoqin's figure swayed slightly, like a ghost, her movements light and swift, and at the critical moment, she skillfully avoided Zhao Ziyi's sharp sword.

Immediately afterwards, she flashed like a phantom, instantly moving to Zhao Ziyi's side, her speed so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

Zhao Ziyi's sword energy failed to hit its target and struck the arena directly.

With a loud "boom," a deep mark was instantly left on the arena, with stone chips flying and dust billowing everywhere.

It was only thanks to the fact that the arena had been carefully reinforced with special techniques, making it incredibly sturdy. Otherwise, given the ferocity of Zhao Ziyi's sword energy, it would probably have cleaved the arena in two, creating a truly astonishing scene.

"Hmph, you can dodge my sword strike, but I don't believe you can keep dodging!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ziyi's anger intensified, and a ferocious look appeared on her face.

With a furious roar, she unleashed a flurry of sword strikes, each strike a breathtaking display of sword energy that instantly created an impenetrable net of blades, enveloping Gongsun Yaoqin as if to trap her completely and defeat her in one fell swoop.

The onlookers stared wide-eyed, their gazes fixed on the tense situation on the arena. They all believed that once Gongsun Yaoqin was trapped in this dense and sharp web of sword energy, she would be in dire straits.

Gongsun Yaoqin might even be killed outright.

After all, this net of sword energy was Zhao Ziyi's all-out killing move. Each sword energy contained powerful force, and when they were intertwined, their power was multiplied, as if they could cut everything in the world into pieces.

"break!"

However, just when everyone thought that Gongsun Yaoqin was doomed, Gongsun Yaoqin frowned slightly and let out a low shout.

This low shout, like the resounding toll of a great bell, echoed across the arena.

She moved swiftly and struck out with her palm.

In an instant, an incomparably powerful surge of true energy erupted from her body, rapidly condensing into an enormous palm print.

This giant palm of true energy, like a majestic mountain peak, exuded a heart-palpitating aura. It soared into the sky with overwhelming force, slamming fiercely into the enveloping sword net.

The seemingly indestructible sword net shattered instantly like fragile glass under the terrifying power of the giant palm of true energy that crushed everything.

Countless sword energies scattered and flew in all directions, emitting sharp whistling sounds.

Moreover, after shattering the sword net, Gongsun Yaoqin's giant palm of true energy showed no signs of slowing down, like a ferocious beast, continuing to crush Zhao Ziyi.

Its powerful aura made the surrounding air seem to be ignited, producing a series of crackling sounds.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ziyi was immediately shocked, her face turning ashen.
