"Huh?"
Lin Xue’s eyes filled with a trace of confusion.
But in the next moment, her pupils suddenly contracted as she placed her sword horizontally in front of her and swiftly retreated.
In the next moment, a terrifying saber aura quickly magnified in her vision.
A faint white light, like the dawn of creation, tore the sky open, then fell toward Lin Xue with the unstoppable force of a brilliant galaxy.
There was a hint of disbelief in Lin Xue’s eyes.
She really couldn’t figure out how Xu Zhou dodged that previous strike.
But she didn’t have the luxury of thinking about it too much.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion sounded, with terrifying Qi-Blood power dispersing, the Sky-opening Saber at the third level’s peak!
This saber strike directly hit Lin Xue; there was no way for her to avoid it.
With a cracking sound, the sound of breaking bones resonated!
Lin Xue’s figure flew backward, crashing into a large tree.
She lifted her head, seeing Xu Zhou reappear in front of her, his expression calm.
"Pff!"
Lin Xue spat out a mouthful of blood, stubbornly standing up again.
"Whoosh!"
Her figure flickered, and once more a sword strike was launched, the sword light transforming into a thunder dragon charging toward Xu Zhou once more.
Xu Zhou frowned, wondering how she, clearly heavily injured by him, could still get up to fight again?
"Swoosh"
He stood there without moving, casually swinging a saber, and everyone watched as the sky opened up again, white light shining.
Another creation stroke!
For Xu Zhou now, executing the Sky-opening Saber didn’t pose any burden.
Seemingly casual saber slashes contained the terrifying power of the third level’s peak of the Sky-opening Saber Technique.
Boom!
The saber light collided with the thunder dragon, shaking the heavens and earth.
"Ding" lightly sounded as the thunder dragon shattered.
The girl’s figure once again flew backward, crashing into a wall, and the wall shattered into fragments, sending waves of bone-breaking sounds from within her.
Xu Zhou’s saber technique at the peak of the third level, combined with his current Qi-Blood, was unbeatable in the First Grade Realm.
Even though Lin Xue wielded the Nine Heavens True Thunder Sword, she was no match for him.
The most crucial thing was that Xu Zhou’s footwork, the Nine Steps of Treading Heaven, had also reached the peak of the second level, with one foot already into the third level.
Adding his predictive capabilities, no one below the Second Grade could injure him.
This is also why Lin Xue’s sword strike earlier didn’t hit Xu Zhou.
Had it been anyone else in the First Grade Realm, they would have been severely injured by that strike.
But for Xu Zhou, dodging it was effortless.
At this moment, Xu Zhou calmly looked at the girl on the ground.
Lin Xue was heavily injured twice in a row, her white dress stained with blood, and the white thin silk stockings on her legs were in tatters, her breath weak, clearly unable to fight anymore.
But to Xu Zhou’s surprise, Lin Xue grabbed her long sword and once more lifted herself from the ground.
"Kill!"
She let out a low roar, thrusting the sword toward Xu Zhou again.
Xu Zhou frowned, slightly turned his body, and grabbed her wrist, rendering her unable to move.
If it wasn’t stopped... the reputation of the Divine Martial Department would be completely tarnished!
A soft sigh sounded.
"Lin Xue, admit defeat!"
A grand voice came forward.
...
Before Xu Zhou, Lin Xue, who had been struggling violently, suddenly stopped.
"Release me." Lin Xue said.
Xu Zhou, frowning, still did not let go.
"I admit defeat, let me go." Lin Xue said.
Xu Zhou released her, still somewhat puzzled by the girl’s actions.
Lin Xue’s face remained calm, as she sheathed her long sword, her cold voice echoing throughout the entire Divine Martial Department academy.
"I fought until the end, it was you who wanted me to concede defeat."
Lin Xue’s tone was indifferent as she walked straight towards her villa; despite having several broken bones, her solitary and proud figure seemed as if she was the victor of this battle.
Xu Zhou’s furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
No wonder she was struggling earlier when he hadn’t taken any harsh measures.
Initially, he was a bit confused, but now he suddenly understood a little.
"Was it deliberate?" Xu Zhou looked at Lin Xue’s back.
...
And at this moment, all of the Divine Martial Department’s people realized.
Lin Xue lost!
The last pride of the Divine Martial Department Academy, the final member among the ten, lost!
