Who are you calling a stable boy?!

The only measure that can be taken at present is to increase monitoring of all economic teams.

The conference did not prohibit this.

Therefore, the Ikari team, which was eliminated in the first round, actually had plenty of time to do this.

With the conclusion of the first round of group matches, the schedule for the remaining matches has been set.

On the third day of the tournament, the morning match, in order of advancement, pitted the Noble Team against the Tohsaka Team.

This is why YOYO was so confident that day, believing she would be able to compete with Zheng Jing on the ring.

"Both players, please enter the arena!"

The big-nosed referee raised his hand and shouted.

Before the words were even finished, a figure jumped out from the noble team's preparation area.

"Zheng Jing! You cultist! Come out and face your death! The radiance of Iomede will burn you to ashes!"

Holding a holy book bound by a chain of light and wearing an enchanted full-body armor made of adamantite, Sodour roared as he pointed at Team Tohsaka's preparation area.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jing rolled up his sleeves—

"I agreed to be the vanguard."

Lao Qing grabbed his right hand.

"I am the backbone."

Xiao Xiaolin grabbed his left hand.

"Alright, alright, do you think I, Old Zheng, ever go back on my word?"

Hearing Zheng Jing say this, and seeing that he really didn't intend to rush onto the stage, the two of them finally let go of him.

With his hands free, Zheng Jing rolled his eyes, scratched his ears and cheeks a couple of times, then leaned close to Xue Qing, touched her face, and said seriously, "Take it easy, that kid really doesn't care about his life."

As they spoke, a strand of hair that Zheng Jing had been secretly holding in his right hand stuck behind Xue Qing's ear.

"I-I know! What's wrong? Why are you being so cheesy all of a sudden..."

Xueqing used her cheek to push Zheng Jing's palm away, then turned around and walked towards the arena.

"you?"

Seeing that it was Xue Qing who came up on stage, Suo Dou'er's face, which was already distorted by anger, became even more ferocious.

"Get out of here! You cultist's lapdog! I don't have time to waste on you!"

"Hiss—whoosh..."

Xueqing took a deep breath.

"Wow, kid, you're done for. I haven't seen the AIBO mode in ages."

Drew, still sheathed, sighed.

A talking sword caught Sodou'er's eye.

"What's going on? What kind of evil trick is this now? A sword with its own consciousness?"

Xueqing remained silent, simply carrying Drew behind her back.

Then, she flipped her right hand, which she had extended forward—

"when!"

In the void, a metal pillar taller than a person suddenly appeared and slammed heavily onto the arena with a clang.

This was clearly something Xueqing took out of her backpack.

Before Suodou could examine it closely, Xueqing had already gripped the hilt of the sword.

—That's right, this thing is about two meters high, half a meter wide, and as thick as two adult male fists put together; it's not some kind of metal pillar.

It is Xueqing's other sword.

"Teeth and legs."

With one hand, Xue Qing raised her head, looking down at Suo Dou'er as if from a high mountain.

Choose.

Chapter 235: She started spinning!

"Okay...okay! Then you can start!"

Pointing at Xue Qing, Suo Dou'er's eyes widened in anger: "I will engrave the glory of Aiomede into your filthy head!"

"Since we're not choosing any of them, it means we don't want any of them."

Xueqing lifted the sword with one hand and carried it on her shoulder.

This sword is named Aolai, and it was one of the swords that Xueqing's master used when she was young and wandering the martial arts world.

Back then, the previous lord used refined black iron as the main material, mixed with meteorite iron from the top of Mount Tai, and used Tian Shan cold spring water and Blood Bodhi juice as a guide. After three years of forging, he finally created this Aolai sword, which weighs 2,500 catties, as a coming-of-age gift for Master Xueqing.

After that, Xueqing's master gifted the sword to Xueqing.

However, after receiving the gift, Xueqing rarely used the Aolai Sword to fight.

the reason is simple--

"start!"

Before the big-nosed referee could finish speaking, Xue Qing had already taken off with her Aolai sword on her shoulder!

Carrying the Aolai Sword, which weighs 2,500 jin, Xue Qing's speed in this instant was no less than when Drew used the Biyue Sword!

Even though Sodouer had already cast a bunch of buff spells on himself, he almost couldn't keep up with Xueqing's movements in that instant.

Seeing the Aolai Sword coming down from Xue Qing's head, Suo Dou'er, who had no time to dodge, raised his left hand, which was covered by adamantine armor, to block it above his head. At the same time, he threw a chain of light with his right hand, sending the holy book flashing with electricity toward Xue Qing's head.

Is this a belief in the dual protection provided by the enchanted adamantite armor and the protective magic on his body, or is it simply, as Zheng Jing said, that he is not afraid of death at all?

Xue Qing was unaware.

But she didn't let her guard down when faced with the attacking holy scripture. She reached behind her with her free hand, drew Drew, and blocked it.

In an instant, two collision sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

The next moment, Xue Qing's feet and Suo Dou'er's right knee landed on the ground together.

Using her wrist and shoulder as fulcrums, Xueqing caught the Holy Scripture with the blade of Drew's sword.

However, the power contained within the sacred text was truly astonishing, and this attack still affected Xue Qing's performance of the Cloud-Wrapped Lone Peak technique.

Or perhaps, we should praise Sodour's divine magical skills and the enchanted gold armor he wore.

With just one hand, and in such a terrible stance, Sodour was only knocked to his knees by the sword, his arm and collarbone were not broken, not even fractured.

However, for Sodour, being forced to his knees by a cultist's concubine was an utter disgrace!

Seeing that Suodouer was pinned down by Aolai Sword, Xueqing reacted quickly, and with a flick of her other hand, she aimed for Suodouer's neck.

At this distance, even with multiple protective magic spells, if Dru, possessing spell-breaking properties, were to pierce a gap in his armor and strike a vital point, he would certainly not be able to withstand it.

Sodour didn't know what Dru's characteristics were, but his eyes were already bloodshot, and at this moment he only wanted to use the holy book in his hand to smash the head of the cultist in front of him!

"puff--"

Dru's blade paused briefly when it encountered protective magic such as mage armor before plunging straight in and piercing Sodour's neck.

At the same time, Sodou's holy book seemed to have a self-awareness, swirling up and slamming into Xue Qing's ribs with a whooshing sound!

This attack was still as powerful and heavy as ever. Xue Qing, dragging her Aolai sword, was actually pushed several meters away from Suodouer.

"cough!"

Blood spurted from the corner of her mouth, but Xueqing didn't look down at her injury.

She could roughly tell that she had broken three ribs, only because she was able to circulate her internal energy in time to resist the impact.

The only saving grace was that no bone fragments pierced his heart or lungs.

It hurts a lot, but it's not fatal.

Compared to her, Sodour's injuries are truly life-threatening.

However, as the proclamation officer of Aomeide, how could Sodour not know medical magic?

Although his expertise in this area certainly couldn't compare to that of Komilia, who specialized in it, he was still able to use spells like [Heal Fatal Wounds] skillfully.

However, how could Xueqing possibly give him time to cast a spell in peace?

Raising Aolai Sword high, Xue Qing's gaze sharpened, and she endured the pain of breathing as usual.

In the martial arts world, who doesn't know that Hidden Sword Manor has two signature sword techniques?

One of them is the Azure Water Sword.

The other one is the Mountain Climbing Sword.

Just as the Azure Water Sword has its own corresponding internal energy cultivation method, so too does the Ascending Mountain Sword.

"Buzz!"

As the Mountain Dwelling Heart Sutra was circulated without reservation, a sword cry was heard, and a cloud of mist rolled around Xue Qing's body. It was a strange phenomenon formed by the fusion of sword intent and internal energy, like layers of purple clouds, moving along Xue Qing's hand, and in the blink of an eye, it wrapped around the Aolai Sword.

Then, the layers of purple light spread and solidified...

In the end, Xue Qing used the Aolai Sword as the hilt and the Zixia Sword Qi as her body, condensing it into a giant sword that was nearly ten meters long!

Unlike the Azure Water Sword, the Ascending Mountain Sword has only five forms in total.

The fastest, and most often used for surprise attacks, is the Cloud-Wrapped Lonely Peak that Xue Qing just used.

Now, Xue Qing is going to use the move with the widest range of destruction, the strongest power, and the most suitable move to force Suo Dou'er to his death in this situation!

Step forward, sword in hand, spin around!

Xue Qingqing shouted.

—Wind! Come! Wu! Mountain!

The onslaught of sword energy forced Sodou to disregard his still-bleeding neck wound and begin flipping through the holy book.

"Kneel down!!"

He roared at Xue Qing, who was at the center of the raging storm of sword energy.

The battle with Joan taught Sodour a lesson.

This [Advanced Command Technique] was originally prepared by him for Zheng Jing.

Sodol once used his advanced command spells to make a succubus, who had exhausted thousands of Crusaders, submit to him. Sodol destroyed her proud appearance piece by piece, gouging out her eyes, cutting off her nose and ears, breaking off her horns, and severing her tail and towering horns.

If that succubus could become a player, she would undoubtedly be a player at the Transcendent Realm.

As he cast the spell, Sodouer had already envisioned various forms of torture that he would inflict on Xueqing.

But what awaited him was not Xueqing's humiliating kneeling.

Instead, it was the increasingly violent purple sword energy!

"this--"

He only had time to let out a muffled groan of surprise before Suodou'er's figure was swallowed up by the intense purple sword energy.

Audiences around the world could not discern what was happening within the purple haze.

In fact, among the contestants present, not many were able to see it clearly.

What exactly happened...?

Time passed second by second, and finally, after ten seconds, the sound of the wind in the purple haze gradually subsided.

As the last rays of sunlight faded, the scene on the arena was enough to make some viewers with heart conditions roll their eyes.

—Then you saw Sodou'er's body, broken into pieces, scattered in a pool of blood.

By any measure, it's completely dead.

Xueqing sat on the ground, leaning against Aolai Sword, panting heavily.

Upon seeing this, the big-nosed referee immediately jumped onto the ring.

The conference allowed for both determining superiority and defeat, and deciding life and death.
