Feng Wanqing’s face was filled with mockery. She didn’t expect that apart from the suppressed sword in the sword graveyard, Feng Siyue only had such ordinary sword. She had actually been a bit nervous, thinking that her opponent might bring out some powerful treasure.
Just as she was about to make her move, a spiritual boat descended rapidly from the sky, landing above the arena. A handsome and noble young man stepped out from inside.
Feng Wanqing’s eyes lit up, and she excitedly called out, “Second Royal Brother, why are you here?”
Feng Siyue instinctively looked at the man. He exuded an air of nobility in every gesture, with handsome features that gave her a sense of familiarity.
Familiarity?
She furrowed her brow slightly and saw that the Second Prince’s expression became gentle and his eyes filled with doting affection as he looked at Feng Wanqing.
Feng Siyue felt a bit stuffy in her chest, and then she suddenly froze. She noticed that the Second Prince’s eyes seemed to flicker with a faint purple light under the sun, but when she looked closely, it wasn’t clear.
Was it an illusion?
“I heard you were competing today, so I came to cheer you on. It seems I arrived just in time?”
The Second Prince’s voice was as gentle as water, and he affectionately stroked Feng Wanqing’s hair.
Feng Wanqing nodded, looking like a little girl. “Second Royal Brother, I was just about to compete. My opponent is her. She said she would make me lose miserably. Do you believe her?”
The Second Prince looked in the direction she pointed and saw Feng Siyue, whose face was obscured by a veil.
However, her pair of cold black eyes were particularly striking, and the vermilion mole on her forehead, like a drop of blood, seemed to be the finishing touch, making her unforgettable.
“Have we met before?” the Second Prince suddenly asked Feng Siyue curiously.
Before Feng Siyue could respond, Feng Wanqing said, “Second Royal Brother, how could you have met her? She comes from the mountains and has never been outside the Northern Territory.”
The Second Prince smiled and nodded, saying to her, “Wanqing, there are always greater powers beyond what we know. Don’t underestimate your opponent. I won’t keep you from your match. I’ll be cheering for you from below.”
With that, the Second Prince gave Feng Siyue another glance and then descended from the arena.
As a prince of the Shengyuan Empire, he was neither arrogant nor condescending, and his speech and demeanor were very appropriate. This made Feng Siyue develop a slight good impression towards the Shengyuan Empire.
It was a pity, though, that this Second Prince couldn’t see through Feng Wanqing’s poor character. Well, she silently concluded in her heart, he must be blind!
Feng Wanqing felt a bit annoyed. She thought her second brother was boosting the opponent’s morale. What “greater powers beyond what we know”? Was Han Yue worthy of such praise?
She was actually quite aware that her second brother doted on her because he always saw her as a younger sister, transferring the affection he had for his real younger sister to her. However, the royal family had not given up searching for their true bloodline over the years.
Fortunately, Feng Siyue had already been dealt with, otherwise, an unrelated adopted sister like her could never compare to a real blood-related sister.
“Make your move, Miss Han Yue!”
She wanted her second brother to see how she would defeat this arrogant woman!
As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her Qing Shuang Sword, creating a sharp and dazzling display of sword flowers. The attack, like a tangible arrow, aimed at Feng Siyue’s heart!
Feng Siyue slowly raised her rusty iron sword. The crowd thought she was using an egg to hit a stone, but suddenly they heard a “clang” sound. Invisible ripples seemed to emanate from the iron sword, deflecting Feng Wanqing’s sword flowers back at her.
What just happened!
How could a rusty sword block a strike from a sixth-grade treasure sword!
Feng Wanqing, being the closest, was the first to feel a terrifying sword intent, but it quickly disappeared.
No, it couldn’t be. How could such a sword emit a sword intent!
It must be an illusion!
Feng Wanqing’s expression darkened. She quickly formed a seal with her hand, and suddenly her sword emitted a powerful sword intent. In the blink of an eye, the sword divided into two, then four…
In a flash, there were forty-nine sword shadows in front of her, emitting an extremely cold and sharp light, shooting out like a rain of swords, creating a loud sound of breaking through the air!
“Heavens! Senior Sister Wanqing has actually mastered the Snowflake Sword Technique to the seventh level! Even a strong warrior at the Martial King realm would lose their life to this attack!”
“Senior Sister is so strong!”
“Is this the strength of Miss Wanqing? No wonder she’s recognized as a genius girl in the Northern Territory!”
“Han Yue is doomed!”
“Serves her right! Who told her to be so boastful! She asked for it!”
The crowd was astonished, not expecting that Feng Wanqing, with her sixth-tier Martial King cultivation, could unleash such powerful strength equivalent to a peak Martial King! She could definitely kill someone of a higher level!
The forty-nine sword shadows attacked from all directions, leaving no chance for Feng Siyue to escape. The spectators’ hearts were in their throats, but Feng Siyue on the field remained in her lazy stance. She slowly drew a circle on the ground with her iron sword, just as the sword shadows were about to reach her body.
Just when everyone thought she had given up and was about to be pierced like a hedgehog…
Then, a shocking scene unfolded!
The powerful sword shadows were all blocked outside the circle she had drawn, emitting a harsh buzzing sound, but they couldn’t move forward an inch, as if some force was holding them back!
Why was this happening!
“It’s the Way of the Sword! She has comprehended her own Way of the Sword, and within her Way, she sets her own rules!” Suddenly, the Second Prince, standing outside the arena, said in surprise. When did such an extraordinary woman appear on the Abyss Continent!
“What! The Way of the Sword?!”
“Impossible! She’s only in her twenties, how could she have comprehended the Way of the Sword!”
On the entire Abyss Continent, only a handful of people have ever had an epiphany about the Way of the Sword. How could such an unknown young woman have her own Way of the Sword? Who would believe it?
Then, in response to everyone’s disbelief, Feng Siyue counterattacked.
She raised her rusty sword and casually slashed towards Feng Wanqing. In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and ten thousand swords sang in unison!
Buzz!
The sound of the swords suddenly echoed throughout the entire Vast Academy!
All the swords carried by the people present began to vibrate, and even all the swords in the Vast Academy’s armory suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, as if responding to the veiled woman’s rusty sword on the field.
This was the sound of ten thousand swords singing in unison!
Not only that, everyone saw the woman make an ordinary-looking slash towards Feng Wanqing. It wasn’t a sword technique, nor could any swordsmanship be discerned. But that single slash gradually carried a terrifying sword intent, raising waves of swords in the air!
As Feng Wanqing, with a panicked expression, raised her sword to resist, the terrifying sword intent actually shredded her Qing Shuang Sword into pieces of broken copper and iron, which clattered to the ground.
Feng Wanqing hurriedly took out several protective treasures, but under this astonishing sword intent, they all cracked and shattered within a few breaths.
