“Wave form!” After battling with Mo Ruhuan for too long, Lou Xingchen finally lost her patience and used her best technique.
Her wrist fluidly rotated as she consecutively stacked nine swords. When she made a move, these nine swords accumulated into one.
Boom!
Mo Ruhuan could not withstand the blow, and he was thrown off the ring by the sword. His body was flung high into the air, then he crashed onto the ground.
The internal organs in Mo Ruhuan’s body had been shattered and he kept vomiting blood. His eyes were full of displeasure as he looked at Lou Xingchen. “No… How could I lose… How could I lose to a woman like her! If it weren’t for her mystic martial arts…”
The men from the Mo Family hurriedly supported him up. “Master, are you alright?”
The furious Mo Ruhuan vomited a mouthful of blood again due to his overly emotional state. “Blame it on me! Blame it on my carelessness. I did not achieve the peak cultivation of my family’s mystic martial arts, and it resulted in my defeat. Lou Xingchen!” He revealed a murderous aura on his face. “One day, I will personally take her life!”
Mo Ruhuan vomited a mouthful of blood again and fainted.
“Lou Xingchen won! She defeated an opponent one level above her in cultivation. She’s damn impressive!”
“Yes, Lou Xingchen is the only person who has bypassed the levels and won. Perhaps, she is even more impressive than Lou Qianxue and Ye Zhuixun!”
“The Prefecture competition this year is too exciting!!!”
“However…” The people who had gone to the Baicao Garden banquet became doubtful. “I wonder if it’s an illusion… I kept thinking that Lou Xingchen’s sword technique was similar to that used by Lou Qianxue in the garden?”
“They are a family. What’s so strange for them to use the same type of martial arts?”
“That’s also true.”
“I’m more curious about how the battles would happen now?”
“Same. We just have to see how the Prefectural Governor makes the arrangement.”
In a short while, the Prefectural Governor made a strategic decision. “Everyone, we have decided to let one person sit out in this round, and two people will duel!”
A commotion broke out.
“One person can sit out?”
“Looks like this competition will also depend on luck. Whoever gets to sit out is lucky.”
“Yes, indeed. The person who sits out can rest. And the other two will have to duel. If the winner uses up too much energy in the battle or gets injured, wouldn’t that be advantageous for the one who sits out?”
“This is the Prefectural Governor’s decision. We don’t have a say in it.”
“I’ll draw lots now. The person whose name is chosen will sit out.”
The Prefectural Governor drew a lot, and after glancing at it, he said in a low voice, “Lou Xingchen!”
He looked majestically at the crowd. “The name that I’ve drawn is Lou Xingchen. Lou Xingchen will sit out and rest, and the next duel will be between Ye Zhuixun and Lou Qianxue.”
“Why is it so coincidental?” A tinge of regret swept past Lou Qianxue’s eyes. She wanted to have a battle with Lou Xingchen even more!
However, it didn’t matter too much to her. She just had to defeat Ye Zhuixun, and then battle with Lou Xingchen.
But, Ye Zhuixun’s face sank.
He stared at the Prefectural Governor’s solemn face and knew in his heart that this outcome was not a surprise.
If he had accepted the Prefectural Governor’s offer, Lou Xingchen the duel would’ve taken place between him and Lou Xingchen.
Now, the Prefectural Governor’s aim was to let him and Lou Qianxue expend their energy by fighting and make it easy for Lou Xingchen.
It was a pity that even though he knew about the Prefectural Governor’s motive, he couldn’t back down! He had to win this competition!
Lou Xingchen had also realized something, but she remained silent.
The Prefectural Governor sat on top of the high stage and said with a sneer. “The Lightning Sword intent and the Storm Fist intent, I want to see which one is the better!”
