Number One Female Sword Immortal Under Heaven! Magnificent and Peerless Lu Xueqi!

The match between Ye Changfeng and Lu Xueqi ended very quickly.

At the same time.

The match between Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu also ended not long after.

After all, the difference in their cultivation was quite significant.

One was at the Peak of Ninth Layer of Jade Purity.

The other was around the Seventh Layer of Jade Purity.

With the matches on both arenas concluded, the highly anticipated final battle was about to begin...

True Lord Daoxuan announced a one-hour intermission.

This also gave Lu Xueqi and the others time to recover their spiritual power.

After one hour.

The final battle of the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament officially began.

"This tournament."

"Lu Xueqi of Little Bamboo Peak versus Qi Hao of Dragon Head Peak."

The elder of Heaven-Reaching Peak on the arena gently struck the bronze bell.

"Dong!"

As the bell chimed.

Everyone leaned closer towards the arena.

The eyes of many Qingyun disciples flickered with anticipation.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Is that even a question?"

"It's definitely Senior Brother Qi Hao!"

"Although Senior Sister Lu's cultivation is also very strong, Senior Brother Qi Hao has more experience. Moreover, Senior Brother Qi Hao is already at the Peak of Ninth Layer of Jade Purity, just one step away from the Upper Purity Realm."

"I heard Senior Sister Lu is also at the Peak of Ninth Layer of Jade Purity..."

"Ah?"

"Really!?"

"I heard Senior Sister Lu was ambushed by a Demonic Cult Fiend at the Moon Gazing Platform over a month ago. In the end, misfortune turned into fortune, and her cultivation broke through by a small stage. Now she's on par with Senior Brother Qi Hao..."

The surrounding Qingyun disciples were in an uproar.

Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.

He stood at the edge of the crowd, his gaze fixed on the arena.

Lu Xueqi's current cultivation was indeed at the Peak of Ninth Layer of Jade Purity. Her chances of winning were quite high...

Otherwise.

He wouldn't have been thinking about having Lu Xueqi win the championship last night.

"Swish!"

Under the gaze of thousands.

Lu Xueqi slowly ascended the stage.

Her peripheral vision swept through the crowd, and she immediately spotted Ye Changfeng's figure. A flicker of determination appeared in her clear, cold eyes.

Win the championship!

She had to become the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament Champion!

Not only to repay her master's nurturing kindness, but also to share the glory with him!

"Junior Sister Lu, please enlighten me."

Qi Hao, dressed in white and holding the Ice Immortal Sword.

He smiled and cupped his hands slightly towards Lu Xueqi. Even without receiving any response.

He didn't mind.

"Swish!"

The Tianya Divine Sword was unsheathed.

Azure Blue sword light shot up into the sky.

Lu Xueqi, without hesitation, charged at Qi Hao with her sword. The sharp sword light flickered around them, its brilliant edge almost covering the entire arena.

Seeing this scene.

Qi Hao's expression slightly darkened.

Lu Xueqi's cultivation had indeed broken through to the Peak of Ninth Layer of Jade Purity.

Now, with the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon's enhancement as well.

Qi Hao immediately felt a faint pressure bearing down on him.

"Boom!"

This final battle attracted everyone's attention.

On the high platform.

The Seven Peaks' Masters watched intently.

Suigetsu gripped the armrest with some nervousness.

"Swish!"

Lu Xueqi's offensive became increasingly fierce.

She calmly executed various sharp sword techniques, her peripheral vision occasionally catching sight of the White-Clad Youth below the arena, her resolve growing stronger...

Unfortunately.

Qi Hao was no pushover either.

He had cultivated for nearly a hundred years.

His cultivation was extremely stable.

In the previous Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, he had only lost to Xiao Yicai by a few moves.

"Boom!"

Facing Lu Xueqi's onslaught.

Qi Hao calmly repelled each attack.

He was well aware of his disadvantage; with equal cultivation, and Lu Xueqi having the divine weapon's enhancement, he could only choose to evade her sharpest blows.

For a time, Lu Xueqi was unable to break through Qi Hao's defense.

Qi Hao couldn't counterattack with the advantage of a divine weapon.

The scene became a stalemate.

Now.

They could only compete in endurance.

But...

Lu Xueqi didn't seem to intend to let the stalemate continue.

Her cold eyes flickered slightly.

She seemed to have made a choice in her heart.

"Swish—"

The Tianya Divine Sword erupted with a brilliant light.

Qi Hao chose to temporarily avoid the edge of the blade.

He retreated repeatedly.

However, Just then.

Lu Xueqi shot up into the sky without hesitation.

At this moment.

Her gaze fell upon the white-clad youth watching from below the arena, and the promise from last night flashed through her mind.

Winning the championship.

She... had to take the first place.

"Hoo!"

The cold and aloof girl let out a soft breath.

She forcefully suppressed all fear in her heart.

At this moment.

The wind stilled.

Countless people looked up at the sky.

Ye Changfeng's heart gave a slight jolt.

He saw deep determination in the maiden's eyes.

At this moment.

Ye Changfeng understood her choice.

He knew very well what kind of person Lu Xueqi was... She appeared aloof and distant, as if keeping everyone a thousand miles away, but in reality, she was just not good with words. She didn't know how to converse with others and wasn't adept at expressing her emotions.

But...

No matter what.

She would always show you her best side.

Even if she couldn't express her emotions, she would show it through her actions...

Just like now.

Why was she fighting so desperately?

Was it purely to repay her master's kindness?

No!

It was more than that!

She also wanted to share the glory with Ye Changfeng!

In her heart... the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament Champion should have been Ye Changfeng, but since he couldn't obtain this honor openly.

Then she would help him win it.

This perfectly mirrored Ye Changfeng's words from last night.

"Your first place is my first place."

You and I, sharing glory.

At this moment.

Ye Changfeng's heart truly couldn't help but be moved.

Such a perfect and extraordinary woman.

Who could resist being moved?

"Boom!"

Above the Nine Heavens.

A muffled thunderclap suddenly sounded in the originally azure sky. Dark clouds began to gather, eventually piling up to form a spectacle of black clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it...

The cold and aloof girl stood in mid-air.

She stood holding her sword in the fierce wind, her raven-black beautiful hair fluttering, her plain white skirt hem flying, and the Tianya Divine Sword in her hand erupted with dazzling radiance.

"Rumble!"

The sound of thunder rolled.

The girl's eyes were exceptionally clear.

She gazed calmly at the sky, unwilling to retreat even half a step no matter how the wind blew...

Lu Xueqi was such a remarkable woman.

Beauty, strength, stubbornness, and aloofness all embodied in one.

If even a tiny bit were missing, she wouldn't be Lu Xueqi.

"Swish!"

Under the gaze of thousands.

The Tianya Divine Sword pointed towards the sky.

Lu Xueqi's delicate face gradually turned pale.

She formed sword gestures with her hands, stepped with the Seven Star Steps, and then cast the Five-Pointed Star Lightning Summoning Array. Her cold voice echoed throughout the entire arena:

"Nine Heavens Profound Interdict, transform into Divine Thunder;"

"Awe-inspiring heavenly might, I summon it with one sword!"

Her cold voice reverberated in everyone's ears.

In an instant.

Heaven and earth lost their color.

Everyone looked up at the white-skirted girl in the sky, witnessing her resolve and the determination in her eyes.

For a time, their hearts couldn't help but think:

Is this the demeanor of the Number One Female Sword Immortal Under Heaven?

Truly Magnificent and Peerless!
