n“Jade Bamboo Rend!” The move was brimming with life and possibilities.

nThe most suppressive technique still wouldn’t be able to destroy it completely. After all, it had a tenacious life force regardless of the harsh conditions.

nThis surprised the spectators because they saw it earlier when Pinelead Sword Lord used it against Ninth.

nThe move stopped the suppressive aura and the terrifying abyss.

n“Princess Ning Zhu.” A spectator murmured after seeing Ning Zhu getting involved.

nPeople exchanged glances as their interest in this conflict grew. The princess had repeatedly refused the scion’s request to return to Sea Emperor. She seemed to be firmly on Li Qiye’s side – a true puzzle to everyone present.

n“Why would she ruin her future like this?” One cultivator asked.

n“Is she crazy? She’s going against Sea Emperor now for this unworthy guy?” A youth added.

n“She must be possessed.” Even older ancestors didn’t understand. She actually picked Li Qiye over Peace Ocean Sword King: “I don’t see any charm and charisma oozing from him.”

nIt was one thing for her to keep her word after losing the bet. However, she had a chance to get out of the situation yet she didn’t grasp it.

nThe moment she swung her sword, it became clear to everyone that she was more than content with being Li Qiye’s maid.

nThe scion had an ugly expression, and rightfully so. He thought that he would be viewed as a savior by her. It was fine for her to take a neutral stance but to actually attack him?

nHe had the same thought as other cultivators and became awfully annoyed.

n“Your Highness, it’s not too late to turn back or you’ll regret it.” He uttered coldly.

nThis was a warning, telling her to wake up or face the wrath of Sea Emperor Sword Kingdom.

n“Thanks, but the string of fate between Sea Emperor and I is severed, no need to dwell on it. Scion, go back now, you’re the one making a mistake.” She calmly responded.

nThe crowd gasped after hearing this. She didn’t mind going against Sea Emperor for the sake of her master?

nThough they didn’t understand her decision, they did appreciate her courage. After all, few dared to go against this behemoth.

n“Your Highness, blame your own stubbornness then, not me.” The scion’s eyes flashed murderously.

nShe had chosen Li Qiye so her very existence was a symbol of humiliation for his sect. Thus, it would be best for her to die in his eyes.

n“Boom!” He released his vitality. A primal beast seemed to be awakening; its aura engulfed the area to the astonishment of the crowd. Even older masters were impressed.

n“Perish.” He chanted and no longer held back. Violet Abyss released a destructive torrent towards Ning Zhu.

nShe leaped upward for a slash capable of severing everything. No other affinity could stop it.

n“Sever!” Spectators were no longer strangers to this move.

nSparks as large as boulders splashed everywhere. Waves emanated from the contact point and forced spectators back.

nAfter this exchange, Ning Zhu staggered three steps backward. Nonetheless, she remained calm and composed.

nThis surprised the crowd because they thought that it would be a landslide victory for the scion. His expression soured as well since he didn’t expect her to be so strong.

n“My turn.” She flew forward like a shooting star. “Clank!” Golden flashes appeared around her; she seemed to be covered by a layer of gold – a blessing from the gods.

nThis next move wasn’t as merciless and decisive as “Sever”. It was in tune with the rhythm of the world, seemingly containing the profundity of the myriad dao.

n“Bring it!” The scion roared and swung his dao lord sword again. Another massive slash rushed forward.

n“What is this sword technique?” People didn’t recognize Ning Zhu’s art, not even the ancestors who were familiar with Wooden Sword. They knew that it didn’t come from this kingdom.

n“It’s not from Wooden Sword.” One ancestor said.

n“Then what the hell is she using?” One expert asked.
