60: Chapter 60: The final battle ahead is between Su Ziyi and the Underworld Lord!

"How many trump cards does this person still have hidden?"

On the main viewing stand, the Confucian Sword Immortal also showed a look of surprise.

"Brother Xie, what technique is this young Yue Ji using? Can you see any clues?"

The Head of the Wen Family was also full of doubt. Seeing the Confucian Sword Immortal focused, he asked.

"She seems to be attacking with both eyes. It's a bit like some methods found within the Confucian School's Vast Righteous Qi," Xie Xuan said slowly.

"The Confucian Sword's Vast Righteous Qi does indeed have methods to deter evil spirits using the eyes, but that is only deterrence. Something that can directly cause substantial damage like this... I have never heard of it."

"Could it be some other form of long-range attack?" someone guessed.

Xie Xuan shook his head: "It shouldn't be.

With her current Cultivation, executing a long-range attack would inevitably be strenuous, and the power wouldn't be this great.

Moreover, Duan Lang's fire qilin sword should, by rights, have an amplification effect on illusionary techniques."

"That is truly interesting." The Head of the Wen Family turned his head to look in Su Rui's direction, his eyes full of amazement.

"This is definitely not a technique from the Dark River. It seems Su Rui has brought out a new skill again.

I really don't know how many supreme techniques this person has yet to use." The Old Master of the Wen Family spoke with deep feeling.

This Disciple of Su Rui is proficient in swordsmanship, spear techniques, lightness skill, illusionary arts, and assassination skills—mastering every single one, yet each style is vastly different.

This is simply unimaginable.

Furthermore, all these skills are entirely unheard of before.

By what Master was such a person taught?

Could he be the Disciple of some reclusive Master who has been hidden for many years, or perhaps even the Master himself?

"It's better not to speculate recklessly, or it will affect our judgment." Xie Xuan noticed the Head of the Wen Family's deep thought and reminded him softly.

"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder!" The Head of the Wen Family started.

Indeed, for a figure like this, it is best to speculate less.

Based solely on his performance in the battle against Wushuang City Master Zhao Guyan, he is capable of destroying an entire School with just one person and one sword.

It is best to deal with such an existence cautiously.

But fortunately, from what he understood, although this person is not easy to approach, his temperament is not eccentric.

This reassured quite a few people.

...

Duan Lang fell off the stage, unable to recover for a long time.

"What on earth did you use?" he roared unwillingly.

This was also the sentiment of everyone present.

The crowd looked towards Mu Liangyue, hoping she could provide an answer.

Mu Liangyue just snorted coldly, ignoring Duan Lang, and flew straight back.

Since she had already stepped off the platform, she had lost. There was nothing to say to someone who had already failed.

Duan Lang's face flushed and paled in turn.

Had his months of bitter training been for this stage only?

Was it over just like that?

Li Changsheng, watching from the shadows, witnessed the Move Mu Liangyue had just executed, and doubts immediately arose in his heart.

That Move felt familiar. Although he hadn't seen it firsthand, his Master had mentioned it.

It seemed to be a supreme skill belonging to some powerful expert from the past.

However, that was already old news from a hundred years ago.

Could this Su Rui be connected to that expert who had long since vanished into history?

It was just that back then, Li Changsheng's Master had only mentioned it briefly, without elaborating further.

It was only now, seeing Mu Liangyue execute the Astonishing Eye Calamity, that he suddenly recalled it.

"I can't figure it out!"

Now, Li Changsheng could faintly perceive Su Rui's Cultivation.

Very strong!

But he was certain of Su Rui's youth; he was definitely not some old monster who had reversed his aging.

A young person connected to an expert from a century ago?

Could it be that he obtained some Legacy?

But could a Legacy truly allow someone to ascend in one step and become such a Master?

That was too unbelievable!

Moreover, Li Changsheng had quietly investigated Su Rui's past.

This person seemed to have appeared out of thin air, leaving no trace behind.

As soon as the previous Martial Arts Hall Master died, he appeared there.

Everything about his past was like smoke and mist, impossible to trace at all.

This left Li Changsheng's thoughts in chaos, unable to grasp anything.

A feeling of inscrutability like this was something he had never experienced even in his century-plus of life.

Sikong Changfeng announced Mu Liangyue's victory.

The next and final battle is between Su Ziyi and the Underworld Marquis!

Yue Ji moved lightly and gracefully; the Underworld Marquis moved without a shadow.

These two figures were somewhat famous in the Jianghu.

It was just that their reputations were not very glorious.

Their purpose in coming to Snow Moon City was still unclear.

But it was definitely not to gain fame.

After all, except for a very few truly top assassins, keeping a low profile was always safer.

"Underworld Marquis!"

Yue Ji's expression was somewhat solemn.

The Disciples sent by this Martial Arts Hall had yet to taste defeat so far.

"Don't worry."

The Underworld Marquis was burly and tall. He lightly patted Yue Ji's hand, then dragged his heavy Great Gold Saber and leaped off the Jingwu Platform.

Su Ziyi also lightly leaped onto the stage.

The two stood opposite each other, presenting a stark contrast.

Su Ziyi was already tall, but in front of the mountain-like Underworld Marquis, she appeared much smaller.

She wasn't even as tall as the Great Gold Saber stuck in the ground.

The Underworld Marquis crossed his arms, his gaze locked onto Su Ziyi not far away.

"Your Master is very strong."

Su Ziyi was slightly startled, not expecting the Underworld Marquis to start by discussing her Master.

"I have a favor to ask of him. If you lose, plead my case for me."

The Underworld Marquis was always a man of few words, and this request was exceptionally direct.

"I cannot make decisions for my Master," Su Ziyi said with a gentle smile, covering her mouth.

"If you truly wish to see him, you can come yourself."

The Underworld Marquis nodded and reached out to grasp the saber hilt.

"The momentum of my saber is as heavy as a mountain, but don't worry, I will hold back."

The Underworld Marquis was the strongest participant in this competition.

He had taken a secret medicine in his early years to stimulate his potential, so although his Cultivation was strong, his future path was already cut off.

However, he had been stuck in the Zizai Earth Realm for many years, his Cultivation even deeper than Song Yanhui's before.

Coupled with his innate Divine Power, the Great Gold Saber felt weightless in his hands.

With a slight wave, the saber wind brought a whistling sound.

The audience below felt their hearts tighten.

Such a fearsome weapon, perhaps one strike would be fatal.

How could such a delicate woman withstand such a heavy weapon?

This was naturally the thought of ordinary people.

After all, the Disciples from Su Rui's Martial Arts Hall were none of them easy targets.

Not only had they displayed extraordinary strength during practice, but they also possessed shocking trump cards.

The people who fought them previously hadn't even forced them to use their full strength.

In other words, what the crowd had seen was far from their true strength.

It was still hard to predict whether this Underworld Marquis could defeat Su Ziyi.

However, the Underworld Marquis clearly didn't think so.

He was considered a strong expert within the same Realm, let alone facing an opponent a whole major Realm lower than him.

"This man's arm strength is truly astonishing."

Sikong Qianluo's eyes widened, looking at the giant saber, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Only about a hundred catties."

Su Rui smiled faintly, clearly having full confidence in Su Ziyi.

"This saber is a type of unusual weapon, rarely seen on the market. However, occasionally in the military, people use these types of heavy weapons," Yin Luoxia said, her gaze unconsciously falling on Su Rui's face.

"Few people can wield it as effortlessly as he can.

Master, what do you think of this man's Aptitude?"

"It's decent enough, barely qualifying as exceptionally talented, but it's merely outstanding strength.

Moreover, just like Yue Ji before him, he relied on drugs to stimulate his potential; his future path has already been blocked."

"Even if he used drugs to stimulate it, Master definitely has a way to deal with it!" Yin Luoxia suddenly said with a sweet smile.

Su Rui was slightly stunned and turned to look at her.

"Why should I concern myself with this matter?"

"But Yue Ji is such a captivating beauty."

Yin Luoxia's gaze swept lightly over the stands.

Su Rui followed her line of sight and saw Yue Ji staring anxiously at the arena.

"What does that have to do with me? I think you're too idle. Go to the Martial Arts Hall after the match is over," Su Rui said lightly.

"..."

Li Hanyi and Qianluo were stunned, while Wang Yuyan and the others looked bewildered.

Yin Luoxia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded lightly.

Su Rui smiled helplessly.

He was already used to it.

In the past few days of teaching these few Disciples, if a mistake was made, he would discipline them with a peach branch.

Others were fine, but only this Yin Luoxia...

She practically loved being punished!

At this moment, Yin Luoxia's face was hot, her heart raced, and she felt a strange sense of anticipation.

In the arena, the Underworld Marquis had already made his Move.

After observing the battle between Su Hongxi and Mu Liangyue, he was extremely wary of Su Ziyi's movement technique.

As soon as he attacked, it was a large-area strike.

As he rushed forward, he fiercely brought the giant saber down, smashing it directly onto the Jingwu Platform floor.

The newly repaired stone pavement instantly cracked, and the fissures rapidly spread towards Su Ziyi.

Shards flew everywhere, each carrying a sharp whistling sound, the momentum terrifying, making the spectators' scalps tingle.

If struck head-on, perhaps not even complete remains would be left.

Su Ziyi's expression was calm. With a light touch of her toes, her figure dissolved into several afterimages, dodging the flying debris.

The Underworld Marquis seemed to have anticipated this. His saber momentum did not stop; one strike was faster than the last, and one strike was heavier than the previous.

Debris even flew off the stage. Fortunately, the experts of Snow Moon City intercepted them; otherwise, the audience in the stands might have been affected.

The Underworld Marquis's offensive was fierce, making it impossible to get close.

Even though Su Ziyi possessed the Blink Sword Technique, the Underworld Marquis was already prepared.

Every saber strike sealed the surrounding space, and the violent inner Qi swept wildly.

Shards flew around, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

After all, the Underworld Marquis's strength was a whole Realm higher than Su Ziyi's.

Currently, it was difficult for Su Ziyi even to approach him.

Under these circumstances, how could she win?

Even those on the main stand nodded in agreement.

The Underworld Marquis was indeed not simple; he suppressed his opponent with his Aura and forced Su Ziyi to be unable to Move with his inner Qi and attack range.

If she showed the slightest carelessness, she might be defeated.

Su Ziyi, holding dual swords, frowned slightly.

The Underworld Marquis's offensive was continuous and relentless.

And this style of fighting seemed effortless for him.

Li Hanyi, Qianluo, and the others had already resolved their opponents cleanly and swiftly.

Could she not do the same?

Thinking of this, a faint blue glow flashed in Su Ziyi's eyes.

Everyone present was stunned, thinking it was the same Move Su Hongxi had used before.
