Razak stood still, looking at Zhao Huaijin defiantly.

"Zhao Huaijin!" Qi Xuejian exclaimed in surprise, and the others were also worried for Zhao Huaijin.

On the other side, Razak pulled out the sword from his ribs and casually threw it on the ground. The wound twitched, and the bleeding quickly stopped.

He clapped his hands dismissively:

"Is that all you've got? The Divine Protectors of the Wind and Cloud Empire are nothing special!"

Zhao Huaijin's face turned ashen. He struggled to fight again, but Shen Zhen stopped him with a look.

"We lost the first match," Shen Zhen said calmly.

Hogner's face showed a smug look.

Feng Yu spoke calmly:

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, and the warrior Razak is indeed brave and valiant."

Who is willing to fight in the next match?

Gu Chengye stood up, his expression calm and composed:

"Gu Chengye of the Temple, late stage of the first rank, please enlighten me."

As the son of Chief Celestial Official Gu Qing, his strength is among the best of the younger generation, making him a perfect fit for the battle.

Seeing this, Hogner chuckled and looked at the girl who had been sitting quietly beside him:

"Elvie, go and keep Young Master Gu company."

The girl stood up. She wore well-fitting leather armor, her figure was agile, and her appearance had the deep features unique to barbarians. Her eyes were especially bright, like stars in the sea of ​​sand.

"Wuche Royal Court, Elvie Muruhe, early stage of the second tier." She took out her double-edged weapon, her voice crisp, and her scrutinizing gaze fell on Gu Chengye.

The two arrived at the center of the arena, exchanged greetings, and then immediately began to fight.

Gu Chengye's moves are grand and powerful, with profound mental energy. His attacks are like a surging river, creating an extremely oppressive feeling.

Elvie's movements were extremely agile, like a fox spirit in the desert, weaving through Gu Chengye's attacks.

As he wielded his twin blades, they created sharp arcs of light, attacking Gu Chengye from unbelievable angles.

Her fighting style is completely different from Razzak's fierceness, focusing more on technique, speed, and timing.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed, and Gu Chengye had not gained any advantage. Instead, he was forced into a state of disarray by Elvie's unpredictable double blades.

"This girl is amazing!" Qian Sihai exclaimed in a low voice.

Su Mingyuan frowned slightly: "Her psychic abilities seem to be quite unique, possessing a kind of perceptually confusing effect."

Unable to break through after a prolonged assault, Gu Chengye took a deep breath and decided to use his trump card.

He clasped his hands together, and his mental energy surged and condensed into a huge palm print flashing with lightning in front of him!

"Heavenly Thunder Palm!" The palm print, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, slammed towards Elvie!

A hint of seriousness flashed in Elvie's eyes, but instead of retreating, she advanced, slightly turning her body to the side, crossing her twin blades in front of her chest, the blades glowing with a ghostly blue light.

Just as the palm print was about to touch his body.

She suddenly looked up, and a strange, swirling light flashed in her eyes.

"A glance back!"

Gu Chengye felt as if Elvie's gaze had a magical power, and his consciousness became hazy for a moment, causing the condensed Heavenly Thunder God Palm Print to dissipate instantly.

Although he quickly regained his composure, the power of the palm strike had already diminished by three-tenths.

"boom!"

The palm print and the double blades collided with a deafening roar!

Blue light and lightning intertwined and exploded!

Gu Chengye groaned, took two steps back, his face turned pale, and his blood and qi surged within him.

Elvie was also shaken and took several steps back, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained bright, even with a hint of excitement.

High judgment.

Gu Chengye's all-out attack was broken, and he even suffered some minor injuries, while Elvie clearly still had energy left.

"You flatter me." Elvie wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, but her gaze bypassed Gu Chengye and landed directly on Shen Zhen, filled with undisguised fighting spirit.

"I've long heard that Envoy Shen can defeat the strong with the weak, even defeating second-tier experts."

"May I ask for your guidance today?"

The room fell silent.

Everyone looked at Shen Zhen.

After suffering two consecutive defeats in the martial arts competition, the Fengyun Empire delegation was losing face.

Elvie's move was not only a way to press her advantage, but also a direct challenge to Shen Zhen, a "celebrity".

Feng Yu, Su Mingyuan, and the others also looked at Shen Zhen.

Everyone knew that only Shen Zhen in the delegation had this confidence.

Shen Zhen slowly took a step forward, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Since Miss Elvie is interested, I, Shen, will gladly oblige."

He walked to the center of the field and stood opposite Elvie.

On one side is the luminary of the Wuche royal court, who has defeated two geniuses, Zhao Huaijin and Gu Chengye, in succession; on the other side is the rising star of the temple, whose fame has recently soared and whose identity remains elusive.

This competition has become a matter of face for both countries.

After Shen Zhen left the stage, the courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The oppressive atmosphere brought about by the previous two defeats has now transformed into tense anticipation for this match.

Elvie looked at the boy in front of her, who seemed to be a little younger than herself. He had a restrained aura and calm eyes, showing no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

It seemed that the previous losing streak had no effect on him at all, which was quite different from the image of the fierce man who was rumored to be able to fight against second-level thugs.

"Special Envoy Shen, please."

Elvie slightly raised her twin blades, her posture cautious yet confident.

Her early stage of the second tier cultivation was genuine, and she also possessed the innate secret technique of "Looking Back," which made it impossible for Shen Zhen to overcome the gap in their cultivation levels, even though Shen Zhen had extraordinary abilities.

Shen Zhen simply nodded slightly, and the Mind Ruler had already appeared in his hand:

"Please go first, young lady."

This composure slightly annoyed Elvie, making her feel slighted.

Without another word, she moved swiftly, like a blinding shadow, her twin blades tracing a tricky arc, aiming straight for Shen Zhen's shoulders.

His speed far exceeded that of his previous battle against Gu Chengye!

She was serious from the very beginning!

However, facing this swift and unparalleled attack, Shen Zhen casually shifted his feet, his body drifting away like a willow catkin, narrowly avoiding the blade's edge.

Elvie's attack missed, but without stopping, the blade light flowed like a waterfall, continuous and uninterrupted!

Her movements were unpredictable and agile, and her dual-blade attacks were ruthless and precise, showcasing her early-stage second-tier strength to the fullest. The crowd in the hall was dazzled by her display.

"So fast!" Zhou Shi couldn't help but exclaim.

"This woman's movements are unpredictable and truly formidable." Ye Zhi Qiu also put away his fan and focused on watching the battle.

Gu Chengye's expression was solemn. He had personally experienced how difficult Elvie was to deal with, and seeing Shen Zhen only dodging, he couldn't help but feel worried.

But soon, everyone noticed something was wrong.

Shen Zhen never retaliated, nor did he even use the Mind Ruler.

He simply weaved through the dense flashes of blades, each dodge perfectly timed, as if he could predict the trajectory of Elvie's every attack.

His movements didn't seem fast, yet he always managed to dodge at the last second by the narrowest of margins.

"He's adapting to her rhythm," Su Mingyuan said in a low voice, his eyes sharp and discerning.

Elvie also sensed that something was wrong.

Her attacks felt like hitting empty air, like punching cotton with all your might.

Shen Zhen's movements have a peculiar rhythm that always guides her attacks away from their intended targets.

"Playing tricks!"

Elvie let out a sharp cry, and her attack changed again!

As the double blades were wielded, streaks of blue light detached from the blades, like a flock of blue hummingbirds, enveloping Shen Zhen from all directions and sealing off all his escape routes.

"Illusory Eye Blade Dance!" Hogner's eyes revealed a hint of pride; this was one of Elvie's signature techniques.

Shen Zhen had no way to avoid it.

Just then, Shen Zhen moved.
