Before Feng Linzhi could use his trump card, Yuexi once again poured all her spiritual power into the Calamity Sword.
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning struck Feng Linzhi, and a thick cloud of smoke rose from the arena. At this moment, Feng Linzhi had already been knocked unconscious.
Seeing this, the host immediately announced, "The competition is over, the winner is Yuexi!"
The audience below was also shocked. The sword in Fairy Yuexi's hand was incredibly powerful, demonstrating extraordinary strength.
"The main reason we won this time was that sword; the runes engraved on it are very powerful."
“That’s also part of strength. Aren’t talismans, pills, and treasures also part of strength?” one cultivator retorted.
“That’s right. If you have the strength, you can even get Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation experts to take action. Look at those blacksmiths and alchemists. They may not be very strong themselves, but would you dare to mess with them? They can summon countless fellow Daoists with just a single sound transmission talisman.”
"To witness such a fairy's intervention, this trip to Tianxin City has been truly worthwhile!"
After a short rest, the competition resumed, but this time the moon was empty.
Li Wunian stared intently at the sword in Yuexi's hand, some guesses forming in his mind.
"Junior sister, was this also something that senior instructed you on?"
Yuexi nodded. She no longer wanted to reveal too many of her secrets; she had been too naive before.
"Waaah, Yuexi, you have such good fortune to be appreciated by a senior. I'm so envious of you!"
Yuexi thought to herself, "I haven't used the formation in the sword yet." She vaguely sensed a powerful force after activating the formation, and if she released it, Feng Linzhi might die instantly.
The two women continued to observe the situation on the field. Chu Muxi acted decisively, throwing down various magical treasures, and her opponent immediately conceded defeat.
Soon only two players remained on the field: Chu Muxi versus Yue Xi, the final battle between the teams.
The two fairies stood on the arena, and the male cultivators below were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, shouting incessantly.
Ji Yun said, "Use the power of the Heavenly Dao directly and take him down in one move when he's unprepared."
"good."
Yuexi activated the array's power directly, and countless blood-red threads instantly scattered from the Calamity Sword, its dense aura of bloodlust sending chills down one's spine.
The scene startled everyone present, and even the host stood up straight with a serious expression.
Chu Muxi's smile faded: "I didn't realize that Fairy Yuexi was a member of the demonic path."
“You’re talking nonsense!” Yuexi retorted.
Then, strands of blood-red threads attacked Chu Muxi, covering the entire arena with dense, blood-red threads, causing the cultivators below to retreat slightly.
Chu Muxi unleashed various magical treasures, forming a circular shield around her.
The crimson threads kept striking the shield with loud thuds, and soon the shield could no longer hold.
Chu Muxi soared into the sky, pursued relentlessly by the blood-red threads below. She tried to sever the threads with her sword, but the blood-red threads entangled her blade.
A surge of bloodthirsty energy traveled along the sword and directly impacted Chu Muxi.
Chu Mushu tried to use her cultivation technique to resist, but she seemed to be frozen in place, and all the threads took the opportunity to wrap around her body.
"This is bad. Those threads are draining the Holy Maiden's life force. The longer it goes on, the more dangerous it becomes." A cultivator noticed something amiss.
"What a vicious technique! This fairy is actually a member of the demonic path."
"You can't judge a book by its cover. This fairy looks gentle and lovely. How could she be a member of the demonic path? What a pity."
As the crowd below the stage discussed, Chu Muxi's robe exploded and broke the silk threads binding her, giving her a sliver of hope.
Chu Muxi rushed towards Yuexi at an extremely fast speed.
Yuexi once again activated the Calamity Sword, and the broken threads stretched out again, directly wrapping around the opponent's ankle.
Chu Muxi fell to the ground.
The blood essence continuously drained Chu Muxi's vital energy, instantly turning Chu Muxi's face deathly pale. She could only temporarily protect her mind with a spiritual pendant within her body, but even that wouldn't last long.
The more blood and qi one absorbs, the denser the bloodthirsty aura becomes, filling the entire arena with terrifying bloodthirsty energy.
The closer the audience got, the more palpitations they felt, as if their very life force was being drained away.
"What a vicious method!"
"It's terrifying, like being in a sea of blood. How could this fairy be so evil?"
Yuexi retorted angrily, "You're talking nonsense. This is the power of Heaven."
One cultivator scoffed, "Those who follow the demonic path are always good at sophistry. They claim such a dense aura of bloodlust is the power of the Heavenly Dao."
"This is utterly ridiculous in the cultivation world! Can't you see all this red blood mist? Do you think we're idiots?"
"I wonder how many people he killed and how much life force he absorbed to have such a terrifying aura."
Yuexi was so anxious that tears were about to fall, her two watery eyes filled with mist.
"Master, is this truly the power of the Heavenly Dao?"
"Yes, I would never lie to you." Ji Yun said without blushing or skipping a beat.
"But why is it red? They say it's the power of blood and evil."
"It's just the color that's wrong, they don't understand, just ignore them."
Yuexi's eyes were firm. She put away the harbinger of disaster in her hand and pulled Chu Muxi in front of her.
Upon seeing this, the host immediately shouted, "Stop! Chu Muxi is powerless to fight back. I declare Yue Xi the winner!"
The crowd below fell silent; they disliked those who practiced demonic arts.
The host announced again: "The fourth team's match has ended. Next, the final winners from the other teams will face off. Please watch as the contestants proceed to the central battle stage."
As Yuexi stepped off the stage, cultivators made way for her as she passed by.
Some people, filled with righteous hatred for the demonic path, angrily shouted: "Why cultivate demonic techniques? Can't we follow the righteous path?"
"That's right, using demonic means to attain enlightenment is against the natural order. I advise you to think twice, fairy."
"Damn you, you demonic cultivator! If I run into you in the wild, I'll kill you without hesitation."
"Absorbing the power of blood and qi to increase cultivation, what a clever method. I wonder how many people have died at your hands. They were really fooled by your beauty."
As she walked, the surrounding cultivators secretly cursed and mocked her.
Yuexi angrily said, "I did not absorb blood and qi to cultivate; this is the power of the Heavenly Dao."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards Li Wunian. The surrounding cultivators were speechless at this fairy's nonsense. What was she spouting? The power of the Heavenly Dao? Bah! Does she think I'm a novice cultivator?
Li Wunian stared blankly at Yuexi: "Let's go first!"
The two headed to the final battle stage, a massive arena with a sky-covering array to prevent interference.
There are many spectators gathered here, but compared to those at the Nascent Soul and Foundation Establishment stages, there are significantly fewer. Foundation Establishment cultivators are at a lower level, so sects can try their luck. If they encounter a cultivator without a sect or master who can shine in the competition, they will immediately try to recruit them.
At this moment, Lin Shengwen, Ma Lin, Kui Sheng, and Yue Xi won first place in their group and prepared for the final battle.
Lin Shengwen was somewhat surprised when he heard the host's speech on stage, not expecting that Yuexi could also win first place in the team.
He glanced around and saw Yuexi and Li Wunian not far away. He walked over to say hello, but then realized something was wrong.
Some of the cultivators around her were looking at her with strange eyes, as if they wanted to kill Yuexi.
Lin Shengwen immediately stopped in his tracks, wanting to observe what had happened.
