BOOM--

This was already the fourth saber light, incredibly vast and blinding, its pressure shocking the entire Academy.

So many people were gathering there, and by the time Ye Qiu and Wu Xiaokai arrived, the area in front was already packed solid.

Ye Qiu's eyes darted around, and he immediately followed behind the Grand Law Enforcer, borrowing his authority to push forward.

Wu Xiaokai followed beside Ye Qiu, "Make way, the Grand Law Enforcer is here!"

This allowed them to move faster, and they soon reached a valley, with a cliff ahead.

On the cliff, a saber was embedded, with only its black hilt visible.

A young woman in a white dress, one hand gripping the hilt, was pulling it out forcefully. Saber energy surged, and saber light shot towards the heavens.

The fifth saber light!

"Holy crap, that's five!" someone shouted. It was an old man, his eyeballs bulging.

The saber here was truly extraordinary. Ordinary people who touched it, or even got close, would be injured by the saber energy.

Those who were more skilled could manifest one or two saber lights, which was something worth bragging about.

The truly amazing ones who managed three or four saber lights could be proud.

And Lu Li had already manifested five!

Even though the saber wasn't fully drawn, five saber lights had appeared in the sky. This was already an incredibly terrifying feat.

"Rise!"

As everyone watched in shock, Lu Li's cry rang out. Her white dress fluttered, her long hair flew, and sword energy surged around her.

As her voice fell, following the fifth saber light, a sixth one soared into the sky, exploding with thunderous roars, making the heavens tremble.

The crowd's bodies shook, but their gazes were solemn. After all, Lu Li's white dress was now stained with blood.

"Girl, hurry down!" the Grand Law Enforcer squeezed to the very front, his expression grave and anxious as he roared.

This ancestor absolutely couldn't have an accident!

After all, she was crucial to the future of Nanzhou Academy, and her own identity was also incredibly formidable.

However, Lu Li seemed not to hear him. As more blood stained her white dress, she still held the saber hilt tightly.

"Again!"

The seventh saber light!

"Again!"

The eighth saber light!

The entire audience was dumbfounded, the scene shocking.

Eight saber lights!

Since ancient times, this would be considered a miracle!

But...

Pfft--

As the eighth saber light flashed, Lu Li suddenly spat out blood, her white dress dotted with crimson.

Following that, her body was repelled by the terrifying saber energy, falling to the ground and trembling violently.

Gak--

Lu Li vomited a pool of blood.

"As expected, Senior Sister Lu Li can't do it either!"

"This saber is too sinister!"

"But Senior Sister Lu Li managed to draw out eight saber lights, that's truly terrifying. Even the elders can't do that!"

"Indeed!"

"To be able to marry a woman like this, I'd gladly live a hundred years less!"

Amidst these discussions, the Grand Law Enforcer and others hurried forward, arriving before Lu Li and examining her carefully.

However, Lu Li waved her hand. Then, her gaze turned back to the saber on the cliff, filled with determination!

"Don't go any further. You're already injured. If you go again..." the Grand Law Enforcer said worriedly.

Lu Li remained unmoved. Stabilizing her breathing, she prepared to try again.

At this moment, a hand grabbed her. "Don't go."

Lu Li stopped and turned her head. Blood stained her lips a vivid red, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

Ye Qiu said, "It's not worth it!"

That saber was truly terrifying. Even from below the cliff, one could feel the oppressive pressure.

Even Brother Snake had praised that saber, saying it was quite good!

Lu Li stared at Ye Qiu, "Can you stop going to brothels from now on?"

The Grand Law Enforcers all looked at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu: "..."

Wish you'd keep your voice down!

Taking a deep breath, he said, "I understand! Let's go..."

Before his voice had even fully faded, a gentle force pushed Ye Qiu away.

As Ye Qiu was about to react, Lu Li leaped up again, charging straight for the Saber.

Approaching the hilt, Lu Li drew his Azure Sword. The sword's light was dazzling, completely enveloping his body.

At this moment, Lu Li seemed to merge with the sword. No, he was now completely one with that Saber!

Having comprehended Sword Intent and achieved Sword Heart Clarity, Lu Li became one with his sword. He was like a great sun hanging beneath the cliff face.

Following this, he moved forward again. At this time, the Saber's hilt vibrated. As Lu Li drew closer, the vibration intensified, until finally, the entire Saber Cliff began to shake along with it.

And with this vibration, a terrifying pressure, several times greater than before, suddenly descended.

The entire area trembled. Wu Xiaokai's eyes widened, sweat beading on his forehead.

The Grand Law Enforcers and the others looked extremely grim. Even they could feel the domineering power at this moment.

The Saber had been offended!

And as expected, under this immense pressure, an even grander Saber light condensed once more.

This time, the Saber light didn't soar into the heavens but instead slashed directly down at Lu Li!

One saber strike, heaven and earth tremble!

"Retreat!" the Grand Law Enforcers roared. This Saber light was too overbearing, carrying a monstrous killing intent.

But Lu Li, one with his sword, didn't retreat. Instead, he transformed into a beam of sword light and slashed fiercely!

Saber and sword collided. The resulting shockwaves stirred up layers of spatial ripples. With rumbling sounds, the momentum was immense, like thousands of troops charging!

Amidst this army, Lu Li's hair danced wildly, like a small boat rocking unsteadily.

With every rock, splashes of blood erupted around him, and the sword light around Lu Li dimmed.

But this was not the end!

The incomparably vast Saber light completely shattered the sword light and pressed down, causing more blood to flow from Lu Li!
