Xu Suyan had no confidence that she could defeat the Saint Lord Astral Consciousness Projection in a drawn-out battle.
Xu Suyan had barely managed to block the Nine-God Immortal-Slaying Slash. A few more would only leave her in an even sorrier state, and she would lose sooner or later.
Thus, only Qiu Deyan and Chen Shenxiao remained in the arena, still fighting hard.
Only when the eliminated contestants saw Xu Suyan approaching did they slowly come back to their senses.
The sight of Su Yuan defeating Chen Xianzhou's Astral Consciousness Projection had been so shocking that their minds had briefly gone blank, leaving them dazed.
"Wha... since when could the Source Saint use a sword? Isn't he a spear cultivator?"
"At first, he combined his physical strength with his spear to fight the Saint Lord Astral Consciousness Projection. Then, as the battle went on, a sword replaced his physical strength and unleashed even greater power. I've run out of words to describe how terrifying the Source Saint is."
"The Source Saint doesn't seem to have any sword techniques. The sword light he unleashed came from ordinary slashes."
"If ordinary slashes are already that powerful, what would happen if the Source Saint learned a peak emperor-tier sword technique?"
Everyone fell silent, unable to imagine that scene.
"No, the key is the sword in the Source Saint's left hand. That sword is definitely no ordinary object. With its enhancement, the Source Saint possesses some ability to counteract world power."
Someone with a keen eye spoke, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Also, that sword of his doesn't seem to be physical. It's formed from some kind of power, not a normal weapon. It can't be seized by force."
The same person added another observation.
At these words, everyone turned their eyes toward Su Yuan.
