As they were talking, the competition on the field had officially begun.
Holding his spirit sword, Song Tianyu said to Xi Ling'er in a deep voice, "In sparring, we always stop when we've reached a point, and only decide who wins and who loses. You shouldn't have injured my junior brother so badly in the last match."
"It is even more unacceptable to spout such nonsense and disregard the reputation of our Yao Huo Sect."
Xi Ling'er was completely confused.
Qin Ziteng was indeed badly injured, but what did he mean by spouting nonsense?
What nonsense did she spout?
Xi Ling'er didn't delve deeper into the matter, but instead asked, "You're planning to avenge Qin Ziteng, right?"
She activated her inner power and raised the Illusionary Spirit Sword.
"I'm always ready to assist you."
Although her cultivation level was clearly inferior to Song Tianyu's, as a disciple of Rongling Sect, she would never act like a coward and back down.
If it's time to fight, then fight.
Even if she is destined to lose, she will fight to win.
Looking at the determination and confidence in Xi Ling'er's eyes, Song Tianyu subconsciously recalled Qin Ziteng's tearful and undignified appearance earlier, and frowned slightly.
He also began to cast spells, and replied, "I just want to restore the face of our Yao Huo Sect."
Xi Ling'er said no more, only saying, "Since that's the case, then let's get started."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the initiative and instantly teleported behind Song Tianyu, unexpectedly attacking him with the Illusionary Spirit Sword in her hand.
Song Tianyu was somewhat surprised that Xi Ling'er's strength was even greater than he had imagined.
Sensing the danger behind him, he flicked his wrist and raised his sword to barely block the attack from behind. The powerful spiritual energy forced Xi Ling'er to take several steps back.
Qin Ziteng, watching this scene from the spectator area, shouted excitedly.
"Senior Brother is awesome! Hit her! Hit her!"
Because of the large movement, he accidentally aggravated his injuries, causing him to grimace in pain.
Gu Xiaochui glanced at Qin Ziteng with a dark expression and said through gritted teeth, "I really want to sew that thing's mouth shut."
Ling Mo and Yun Jing's expressions were not very pleasant either.
Ning Lingling seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly whispered a few words in Xu Chi's ear.
After listening, Xu Chi nodded, placed his hands below, and quietly began to cast a spell.
Qin Ziteng was still cheering for Song Tianyu with great enthusiasm, unaware that two dark beetles with large pincers on their heads were crawling up his trouser leg and into his clothes.
On the field.
Xi Ling'er was so shocked by the spiritual energy that Song Tianyu had just unleashed that even the hand holding the Illusionary Spirit Sword trembled slightly.
She subtly furrowed her brow.
No wonder everyone used to say that Song Tianyu was the number one among his peers in the cultivation world.
His strength is indeed formidable.
"Be careful." Song Tianyu didn't give Xi Ling'er a chance to adjust, and warned her before turning around and attacking her with lightning speed.
The difference in cultivation level between the two sides was simply too great.
Just as Xi Ling'er could shatter Qin Ziteng's defenses with a single sword strike, her defenses were equally fragile in front of Song Tianyu.
Left with no other option, she could only rely on teleportation to barely keep up with him.
However, Song Tianyu possesses a top-grade mutated wind spirit root.
In terms of speed alone, even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to match him.
Thanks to the special attributes of her spatial spiritual root and the boost from teleportation, Xi Ling'er was barely able to evade his relentless attacks.
But it's only something you can avoid.
That alone was almost enough to exhaust all her energy.
She didn't even have a chance to fight back.
At this moment, Xi Ling'er truly realized that in front of someone much stronger than her, her abilities were utterly insignificant.
It seems she will need to train even harder after the competition.
While teleportation is very fast, it also consumes a great deal of spiritual energy.
Under Song Tianyu's relentless pressure, Xi Ling'er's teleportation speed gradually slowed down, and she became increasingly powerless.
Finally, under Song Tianyu's attack, she was unable to teleport away in time, and her arm was slashed with a large wound.
In an instant, blood gushed out, staining her clothes red.
Gu Xiaochui and the others in the spectator area changed their expressions and stood up nervously at the same time.
"Fifth Junior Sister!"
"Fifth Senior Sister!"
Rong Zi looked at Xi Ling'er's injured arm, his eyes darkening.
She pursed her lips tightly, then searched through her Primordial Ring and took out several pills to stop bleeding and replenish blood.
Song Tianyu stood with his hands behind his back, sword in one hand, and said, "Admit defeat, you are no match for me."
Xi Ling'er's injured arm happened to be her right hand, which was used to hold the sword.
Blood flowed down her arm onto the blade of the Illusionary Spirit Sword. The sword trembled slightly, and suddenly its body flashed with light, as if it were raging at the person who had injured its master.
Xi Ling'er sensed the commotion emanating from the Illusionary Spirit Sword.
She glanced down at the sword in her hand, lightly tapped the blade with her fingertips, and channeled some gentle spiritual energy into it, as if to soothe it.
After doing all this, Xi Ling'er used a simple spell to stop her bleeding, and then, despite the pain, replied to Song Tianyu with neither arrogance nor servility.
"Bring it on!"
Her gaze towards Song Tianyu was firm, without the slightest fear in her eyes.
Seeing this, Song Tianyu said nothing more, but solemnly raised his sword again and attacked Xi Ling'er.
Xi Ling'er, her hands covered in blood, gripped her sword and fought back.
Shui Qingyue and several other sect leaders were also watching the competition.
