She was terrified and tried to dodge the powerful palm of true energy, but it was too late.
To her horror, she discovered that the energy around her had been completely locked up by Gongsun Yaoqin's true energy, as if she were trapped in an invisible cage, unable to move an inch.
Left with no other choice, Zhao Ziyi gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes, and drew her sword once more.
She exerted all her strength, pouring all the true energy in her body into the longsword in her hand, trying to shatter the giant palm of true energy.
However, as soon as she swung her longsword, it encountered powerful resistance from the giant palm of true energy.
But the next moment, the giant palm of true energy gently gripped the sword in Zhao Ziyi's hand, and it was directly grabbed like a fragile tree branch, then shattered inch by inch.
Countless fragments flew everywhere under the impact of the true energy, like a dazzling fireworks display.
At that moment, Zhao Ziyi was also violently blasted away by the giant palm of true energy.
Her body flew through the air in a long arc like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily onto the ring, raising a cloud of dust.
"You...you are actually at the Divine Sense Realm."
Zhao Ziyi struggled to get up from the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained her clothes.
She stood unsteadily on the stage, looking at Gongsun Yaoqin with a face full of shock.
She knew in her heart that if Gongsun Yaoqin was not at the Divine Sense Realm, she would not have been able to lock onto her aura so accurately, forcing her to fight her head-on.
A powerful being in the Divine Sense Realm can sense subtle changes in the surrounding energy and use the power of divine sense for attack and defense, making them far stronger than those in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"What? Gongsun Yaoqin is at the Divine Sense Realm? In the three major sects of Tianyuan County, that's already the strength of an elder, and all the elders of the three major sects are over a hundred years old."
"This Gongsun Yaoqin is an unparalleled genius. She has reached the Divine Sense Realm at such a young age. Such talent is truly astonishing."
"I never expected that such a small place as Yanming City could produce such a person. Although Yanming City is not big, it is full of hidden talents. It seems that we can't underestimate it in the future."
"This time, the top spot in the women's group will definitely go to Gongsun Yaoqin. With her strength, no one in the women's group can rival her."
"I'm afraid she'll be the champion of this Dragon and Phoenix Tournament. Besides being at the Divine Sense Realm, there's probably no other Divine Sense Realm participant among the contestants. This Dragon and Phoenix Tournament gathers geniuses from all over the world, and Gongsun Yaoqin's ability to stand out is enough to prove her strength."
Seeing Zhao Ziyi severely injured and revealing that Gongsun Yaoqin was at the Divine Sense Realm, the onlookers erupted in discussion.
Their faces were filled with shock and envy, and they marveled at Gongsun Yaoqin's strength and talent.
“That’s right, I’m already at the early stage of the Divine Sense Realm. Why are you, the so-called Sword Master of the Dragon Abyss Sword Mansion, only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?”
Gongsun Yaoqin's gaze swept over Zhao Ziyi like a cold, sharp blade, and she said arrogantly, "You poisoned my master and were expelled from the Longyuan Sword Sect, yet you switched allegiance to the Wuji Sect. If the Wuji Sect knew what you had done, wouldn't they also expel you?"
A flicker of panic crossed Zhao Ziyi's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, wiped the blood from her lips, and forced a calm demeanor as she said, "Gongsun Yaoqin, don't spread rumors. I didn't poison anyone at all. I've already been accepted as a disciple by the Wuji Sect Master, so how could I be expelled from the Wuji Sect? Although I'm no match for you now, I can access countless resources and receive personal guidance from Sect Master Chen. I will surpass you very soon."
Although Zhao Ziyi felt a little guilty, she did not want to show weakness in front of everyone.
She believed that as long as she had the support of the Wuji Sect, she would one day be able to defeat Gongsun Yaoqin and wash away today's shame.
Zhao Ziyi still harbored that fantasy, believing that Wuji Sect would be her strongest support and a safe haven during her turbulent times.
She never expected, nor could she have known, that the high and mighty sect leader of the Wuji Sect, Chen Tingxue, had a deep and inexplicable affection for Fang Han. In fact, Chen Tingxue even harbored a deep love for Fang Han.
Fang Han's reluctance to take action against Zhao Ziyi was not out of pity or hesitation, but because he had a more meticulous plan in mind.
Fang Han wanted to use her net to catch another, even more important "big fish," Ouyang Yan.
Now that Fang Han has discovered Ouyang Yan's hiding place, Zhao Ziyi is like a discarded pawn in his eyes, having lost all her value.
At the upcoming Dragon and Phoenix Gala, Zhao Ziyi, who once thought she could turn the tide, will ultimately make a pathetic exit in front of everyone, like a clown, marking the tragic end of her life.
“Zhao Ziyi, you have indeed committed an unforgivable crime by poisoning someone. Your methods are despicable. I initially took you under my wing at the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect because I saw that you had some talent, intending to cultivate you. However, I never expected that your character would be so corrupt and that you would commit such a heinous act. Naturally, I must expel you from the sect to uphold the sect’s reputation.”
Just then, a sharp sword light pierced the sky, accompanied by a majestic and loud voice. The Sword Maniac Elder of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, who was obsessed with the way of the sword and was highly respected, rode on a flying sword and came with the wind. He hovered steadily above the arena, his eyes like torches, scanning the area below.
"Oh, I see. I was wondering why Zhao Ziyi suddenly disappeared from the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect. So she was expelled. Life is unpredictable, and people's hearts are hard to fathom."
"However, the Wuji Sect and the Longyuan Sword Sect have always been at odds and are like fire and water. Now that Zhao Ziyi has a bad reputation, since the experts of the Wuji Sect have already appeared, will they try to protect Zhao Ziyi and deny her shameful act of poisoning her in order to save face?"
The sudden appearance of Elder Sword Maniac was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples and causing the already lively crowd of spectators to boil over once again, with discussions rising and falling incessantly.
