Chapter 294: Chapter 273: A Sudden Gust of Wind (Part 2)

The two instantly clashed, and Luo Zhoucheng knew Xiao Yu was injured on her left calf, so he kept attacking her left side!

After Xiao Yu’s calf injury, her mobility was greatly affected, and unfortunately Luo Zhoucheng’s strength was not weak. Even if she suppressed the wound for a burst of strength, it would be hard to defeat Luo Zhoucheng, and would also greatly deplete her Inner Breath.

The two continued fighting, turning into a battle of endurance!

While Xiao Yu’s movement was hindered by her injury, Luo Zhoucheng was also cautious, thinking he could slowly wear her down since she was injured!

Xiao Yu quickly perceived Luo Zhoucheng’s intentions and adopted a stationary defensive tactic!

Since her calf was injured, she stood at a spot in the center of the Plum Blossom Stakes, no longer moving!

The calf was pierced by a dart, and each time Inner Breath was infused into her leg, blood oozed from the wound!

Standing firm, as Luo Zhoucheng attacked, she countered with saber techniques, but did not pursue when he retreated!

Yet, even with her condition, Xiao Yu’s strength was still superior to Luo Zhoucheng, and each of his attacks was filled with peril. If not for Xiao Yu’s limited movement, he would have been defeated already!

Xiao Yu slashed at Luo Zhoucheng’s throat, her eyes cold, the saber gleaming like fire!

By now, dusk had settled, and torches were burning brightly around the Zhexing Platform!

Luo Zhoucheng withdrew his saber, retreating abruptly to create distance from Xiao Yu!

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead; the slash from Xiao Yu just now was incredibly swift, even his throat felt a hint of chill!

Luo Zhoucheng watched Xiao Yu warily from a distance; she stood immovable like a rock on the seaside.

His attacks came wave after wave, yet the rock remained unmoved!

Bitterness welled in his mouth, his Inner Breath no longer as robust as at the beginning, the power of his saber waning, while Xiao Yu’s saber shadow remained as swift and elusive as a specter...

Luo Zhoucheng seriously doubted who would fall first if this continued?

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Yu’s forehead, her condition was actually worse than Luo Zhoucheng’s, her Inner Breath nearly exhausted.

Once her Inner Breath was depleted, it would be her downfall!

Xiao Yu realized she had to make a desperate move, perhaps there was still a chance of survival!

Otherwise, if Luo Zhoucheng attacked three more times, she would surely die beneath his Ghost Head Saber!

Luo Zhoucheng took a few deep breaths, regaining some energy, his eyes reignited with fighting spirit as he looked at Xiao Yu!

He knew Xiao Yu had been in two consecutive matches, it wasn’t easy on him, and it wouldn’t be easy on her either!

With renewed resolve in his eyes, Luo Zhoucheng swung his saber fiercely once more towards Xiao Yu!

The two clashed again, Xiao Yu’s saber shadow still exceedingly fierce, flashing like lightning!

Luo Zhoucheng retreated again, but this time Xiao Yu suddenly leaped forward, pursuing him, her saber shadow as elusive, each strike aimed at his vital spots!

Luo Zhoucheng was startled!

He hadn’t expected Xiao Yu to suddenly change her tactics, each saber stroke lethal!

In the face of life and death, Luo Zhoucheng’s potential exploded instantly, he quickly intercepted Xiao Yu’s saber techniques while retreating swiftly. After a perilous encounter, he finally separated from Xiao Yu once more!

Xiao Yu’s body trembled, nearly falling off the Plum Blossom Stakes due to her forced burst; the blood from her calf wound had soaked her shoes and socks red.

But this wasn’t the most fatal; the most fatal was her Inner Breath, which had completely dried up!

Just now, her last saber strike nearly sliced open Luo Zhoucheng’s throat, but at that moment her Inner Breath was exhausted, the saber lost momentum, allowing Luo Zhoucheng to narrowly evade!

His face drenched with sweat, Luo Zhoucheng fearfully touched his neck where there was a shallow line of blood; a bit deeper and he would have been dead!

The Inner Breath in his Dantian was nearly depleted too, looking at Xiao Yu, countless thoughts swirled in his mind!

Duan Rong stood below the Zhexing Platform, his Divine Sense suddenly extended, penetrating both Xiao Yu and Luo Zhoucheng’s bodies!

Xiao Yu was devoid of Inner Breath, whereas Luo Zhoucheng still had a trace of fighting strength!

The outcome was already clear, but Xiao Yu was still holding on, causing Luo Zhoucheng, whose Inner Breath was also nearly dried up, to remain unaware of the truth!

However, Duan Rong was certain that Luo Zhoucheng would strike again, exhausting his remaining Inner Breath for one final blow!

The temptation of becoming a sect’s Registered Disciple was too great, no one would willingly give it up!

As long as Luo Zhoucheng delivered that final blow, Xiao Yu would surely die!

Luo Zhoucheng’s breathing gradually steadied, he looked at Xiao Yu, her face was pale, though her gaze showed no panic, Luo Zhoucheng knew Xiao Yu was also nearing her limit!

If not for Xiao Yu’s saber momentum suddenly slowing in that final strike, he wouldn’t have escaped!

Wait!

The final strike?

Luo Zhoucheng suddenly looked at Xiao Yu, suddenly realizing that her previous burst had drained her completely, she was now merely putting on a brave front!

Indeed! He was certain of it!

Luo Zhoucheng tightened his grip on the saber handle!

Though he was also near his limit, there was still a trace of Inner Breath in his Dantian; he would use this last bit to kill Xiao Yu!

The beauty was about to fall!

Just as Luo Zhoucheng was about to strike, a strong wind suddenly arose!

The wind made the flames of the torches crackle loudly!

Duan Rong knew Xiao Yu was in danger, the last trace of Inner Breath in Luo Zhoucheng’s Dantian had started to mobilize!

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind arose!

Duan Rong’s eyes suddenly brightened; he couldn’t watch Xiao Yu die tragically before him!
