Lu Xueqi, I'll Kill You!

"Bang—"

The azure sword sheath whipped up a sharp gust of wind.

The blow had originally been aimed at Tian Ling'er's abdomen, but because her Amber Zhu Ling had been broken and the surrounding terrain restrained her, Tian Ling'er was unable to dodge in time...

"Bang!"

The azure sword sheath smashed viciously into Tian Ling'er's delicate face.

"Hmm?"

Lu Xueqi froze slightly.

Though she had withdrawn most of her strength in time, the sword sheath still struck Tian Ling'er squarely in the face.

"Bang—"

Under everyone's stunned gaze,

Tian Ling'er was sent flying by the sword sheath. Her petite body hurtled backward across the arena, her clothes in disarray and her hair flying wildly...

For a moment, the entire venue fell silent.

The Qingyun Disciples stared blankly at the scene before them, clearly shaken.

Holy shit!

A real catfight?

The classic "slap in the face" scene had actually happened!

At that moment,

the Qingyun Disciples all grew excited.

They had imagined the outcome of the match. They had imagined Tian Ling'er losing unwillingly, losing regretfully, and even losing humiliatingly...

But,

they had never imagined—

Tian Ling'er being sent flying by a single strike from Lu Xueqi's sword sheath!

And it had hit her in the face!

A real slap-in-the-face scene!

Below the arena,

Wang Quan Yan stared blankly at what had happened.

He had not expected things to turn out this way. Why... did he inexplicably find it satisfying?!

All he wanted to shout was—

Xueqi, you're awesome!!

(Voice cracking)

On the High Platform,

the Peak Masters were all watching Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er's match. After all, they feared the two disciples might truly fight in earnest...

However,

when they saw Lu Xueqi send Tian Ling'er flying with one strike of her sword sheath, they suddenly fell silent.

Oh no, why did it feel like this was really about to become a serious fight?

"Junior Sister..."

Shui Yue looked apologetically at Su Ru.

"Senior Sister, it's fine."

Su Ru forced a smile.

Tian Ling'er had already embarrassed herself enough today. Never mind that her reputation had been ruined; now she had been so thoroughly crushed by Lu Xueqi...

Even as her mother, Su Ru did not know what to say.

Blame Lu Xueqi?

With her discerning eye, she could naturally tell that Lu Xueqi had not intended to strike Tian Ling'er in the face, but rather in the abdomen...

Tian Ling'er simply had not managed to evade in time.

That was why she had been struck in the face.

Lu Xueqi had even held back beforehand. If she had not... Tian Ling'er's face would likely have been split open and bleeding.

Tian Buyi's mouth twitched slightly.

He watched the scene before him expressionlessly, with no particular thoughts in his heart...

After all,

he had seen things even more humiliating.

Tian Ling'er's reputation was ruined anyway.

There was nothing more to say.

Let that unfilial daughter bear the consequences herself.

On the arena,

Tian Ling'er lay on the ground in disheveled clothing.

Her beautiful hair had fallen loose over her shoulders. With her hair hanging wildly about, she looked like a shrew. Her once-pretty face was now mottled red and purple, with a huge red mark across it...

As though—

someone had slapped her viciously across the face!

"You..."

Tian Ling'er trembled all over.

Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth as she raised her eyes and glared at Lu Xueqi. An overwhelming sense of humiliation washed over her like a tide. She felt utterly disgraced...

It was as though everyone was laughing at her?

Of course,

she had never expected Lu Xueqi to humiliate her like this?!

In front of everyone!

She had directly slapped her?

Fine, fine, fine!

Since you showed no mercy—

then don't blame me for being ruthless!

Tian Ling'er seemed to have forgotten—

that it was her own failure to dodge in time that had led to this outcome. If Lu Xueqi had not reacted quickly and withdrawn fifty or sixty percent of her force...

Tian Ling'er would probably have been split open and bleeding by now!

At this moment,

Tian Ling'er clearly was not thinking that far.

She glared fixedly at Lu Xueqi, already treating her as an enemy. Intense resentment flickered in her eyes as she shrieked:

"Lu Xueqi!"

"I'll kill you!!"

The instant the words fell,

Tian Ling'er no longer hesitated.

She directly summoned the Amber Zhu Ling and charged at Lu Xueqi, thick killing intent flashing in her eyes. She had clearly developed genuine murderous intent...

The moment those words were spoken,

the entire venue turned pale with shock!

Kill?

Was that really a word to use against a senior sister from the same sect?

That seemed rather inappropriate, didn't it?

The Qingyun Disciples wore strange expressions as they turned to look at the Peak Masters on the High Platform, only to see Tian Buyi's face grow increasingly grim.

Kill?

Tian Ling'er now dared to speak of killing a senior sister from her own sect?

Fine, fine, fine!

Tian Buyi forcibly suppressed the fury in his heart.

He watched the scene coldly without making any move...

Clearly,

he intended to handle it impartially.

He was determined to make Tian Ling'er suffer the consequences herself.

Shui Yue frowned slightly.

Looking at Tian Ling'er, who was shouting about killing, she could not understand how a once-obedient little girl had become like this.

But—

for Su Ru's sake,

Shui Yue ultimately said nothing...

True Person Dao Xuan frowned slightly.

Shouting about killing a senior sister from the same sect? Such conduct was already extremely serious!

"Junior Brother Tian."

"After Ling'er returns, she must be properly disciplined."

True Person Dao Xuan said gravely.

"Yes, Sect Leader Senior Brother."

Tian Buyi answered expressionlessly.

On the arena,

Lu Xueqi could not help frowning slightly.

Faced with Tian Ling'er's fierce attack, filled with killing intent, she merely responded calmly, without the slightest panic.

After all,

the gap in their cultivation was right there.

With the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon at her side, would defeating Tian Ling'er not be effortless?

"Boom—"

Azure sword light flashed in an instant.

Before Tian Ling'er's Amber Zhu Ling could even approach, Lu Xueqi shattered it with a single sword strike. Their cultivation and magic treasures were simply not on the same level.

"Ahhh!!"

Tian Ling'er was already starting to lose her mind.

She could not win in a verbal fight.

She could not win in an actual fight either.

She truly was too much of a failure...

No different from a defeated dog.

"Bang—"

Before everyone's eyes,

Lu Xueqi directly sent Tian Ling'er flying with one strike of her sword.

This time, she was more careful.

She tried her best to avoid Tian Ling'er's face...

"Whoosh!"

The moment Tian Ling'er's body left the arena,

the Tongtian Peak elder on the arena immediately rang the Bronze Bell, declaring Lu Xueqi the victor...

After all, he could see it too.

Tian Ling'er had truly become enraged.

If they let her continue fighting, would the two not truly become mortal enemies?!

"—Lu Xueqi of Small Bamboo Peak wins this match!"

the Tongtian Peak elder announced.

However, Tian Ling'er, blinded by rage, immediately cried out:

"I refuse to accept this!"
