Chapter 1038: Striking with a Deadly Move (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Thinking of this, the Clan Leaders all stared at Duanmu Shuo with an unusual gaze...

"Who would have thought that the old Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect had not fallen after all, and had even quietly arrived at the Duanmu Clan. I'm afraid their relationship with the Duanmu Family is not shallow!"

"Indeed, but it is rumored that men are forbidden from entering the Blood Lotus Sect, and that the old Sect Master is as beautiful as a heavenly fairy. I didn't expect that upon seeing her today, she'd actually look even younger than imagined!"

From these words one could faintly hear a strong tone of dissatisfaction. They had checked on the other families and sects, only to have overlooked the Blood Lotus Sect!

It was inevitable that they were curious about what exactly was the relationship between the Duanmu Clan and the Blood Lotus Sect!

Duanmu Shuo glanced at them with a cold eye and scolded inwardly, "Nonsense! The Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, Duanmu Qingruo, is this old man's daughter!"

...

At this moment, on the Martial Arts Stage!

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One! The duel begins!"

As the voice of the elder hosting the duel fell, the four elders, including Zhou Qingruo, all exploded with terrifying spirit force fluctuations...

Her gaze immediately locked onto one of the elders, needless to say, it was naturally the elder from the Xu Family!

Defeating him would mean the Duanmu Clan still had a chance at victory!

Thinking this, she inwardly commanded, "Heaven-grade Inferior, Blood Lotus Nine Palace Steps!"

This was the second body movement martial technique she had created, allowing her to move rapidly within a certain space around her...

Suddenly, her delicate body emitted a crimson halo and vanished from the spot in an instant...

When her figure reappeared, it was already in front of the Xu Family Elder, the blood-colored Pei Sword in her hand emitting a faint whistling sound as she mercilessly slashed down...

This sudden turn of events left the other three elders momentarily stunned...

One of the elders exclaimed in amazement, "So fast! What martial technique is this??"

Another elder swallowed and said, "To be able to move instantly! How very strange!"

And that Xu Family Elder, sensing the thick sense of crisis bearing down on him, immediately came to his senses...

He immediately uttered, "Heavenly-tier Martial Technique! Firm as Heavenly Rock!"

After he spoke, his entire body's veins bulged, and the color of his skin began to turn a deep brown. In particular, his flesh seemed to have solidified, looking unbreakable!

"Bang!" The blood-colored Pei Sword collided with his hardened skin, a crisp metallic sound ringing out...

Both stepped back several paces...

The Xu Family Elder looked up with a cold smile at Zhou Qingruo not far away and said, "My defense is not so easily broken!"

Just as she was about to make another move, two pulses of spirit force fluctuations came from behind her...

Without a doubt, they were the other two elders preparing to sneak attack her!

They both scolded angrily, "To dare ignore us, how audacious! Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Green Shadow Decree!"

"This round of the duel is already over!! Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Nine Heavens Dustfall Slash!"

Feeling the terrifying attack closing in, Zhou Qingruo's beautiful eyes suddenly became intense, "Buzz~~"

Simultaneously, the attacks of the two elders pierced through Zhou Qingruo's illusory figure, causing no effective damage!

The two, failing to achieve their goal, could not help but exclaim in shock, "What?? A mere afterimage! How dreadful is this speed?"

"She's in the air! Quick, dodge!"

Suspended in mid-air, Zhou Qingruo looked down with her icy gaze, "Immortal-grade Superior Martial Technique, Xuelian Flourishing Age!"

In an instant, the space around her was enveloped in a surge of scarlet, and blood-red lotuses on the verge of blooming quietly solidified, faintly emitting a power capable of annihilating heaven and earth...

This scene frightened the Foreign Clan Elders below stiff!

They gritted their teeth and cursed, "Damn it! Is this woman crazy?? To use an Immortal-grade Superior Martial Technique right from the start!!"

"With such terrifying power, does she intend to kill us? Madwoman! This madwoman!!"

"This is the Duanmu Clan's mansion, for crying out loud! Can she really bring herself to strike here???"

In their hearts, they had only one impression of Zhou Qingruo: she was crazy!

Engaging in battle with such a lunatic opponent was simply trading life for injury! Only fools would clash head-on with her!

The next moment, Zhou Qingruo's cold eyes locked onto the Xu Family Elder, stepping on the blood-red lotus, she struck toward him with a force capable of devastating heaven and earth...

Sensing that he had been targeted, the Xu Family Elder started frantically fleeing...

Panic slowly spread across his cheeks, "Madwoman!! This madwoman, stay away from me! Stay away ah ah ah!!"

If he were struck by this, he wouldn't die then he'd be crippled!!!

...

Not only the three Foreign Clan Elders in the duel, but even the disciples of the Duanmu Clan were dumbfounded...

Clearly Elder Qingruo seemed high and coldly elegant, but who knew that her first strike would be such a killer move, utterly brutal to the extreme, completely overpowering the three powerhouses of the same realm!

One of the disciples swallowed hard, incredulously saying, "Is... is this really Elder Qingruo's strength? So... so terrifying!"

"To think she would use an Immortal-grade Superior Martial Technique right off the bat, hiss... Who can withstand Elder Qingruo's attack?"

"It's too terrifying! Thank goodness we didn't provoke Elder Qingruo before, otherwise we wouldn't even know how we died!"

"Elder Qingruo! Elder Qingruo!"

"Cheer on Elder Qingruo! Kill those scoundrels! They joined forces to defeat Elder Lian, otherwise, victory would definitely have been ours"

Even Xu Sheng couldn't help but twitch his eyelids as he watched Zhou Qingruo on stage, the corners of his mouth spasming...

Being able to release an Immortal-grade Superior Martial Technique from the start was really in line with her style of rooting out the problem...

Next to him, Duanmu Lian pursed her lips and inquired Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, do you think Qingruo can win? She used an Immortal-grade Superior Martial Technique right from the start, I'm afraid her spiritual power will be consumed very quickly!"

Xu Sheng chuckled softly, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry. Although those Elders appear to be working together on the surface, faced with Qingruo's reckless fighting style, they would do well just to save themselves, let alone coordinate their martial techniques in defense!"

As they conversed, Zhou Qingruo, who had targeted the Xu Family Elder, could no longer restrain the blood-colored lotus beneath her feet...

"Bang!!!"

Following a terrifying explosion, blinding red light swallowed the entire Duanmu Mansion...

Ten or so seconds later, the piercing red light gradually faded, revealing the original scene once more...

The entire Martial Arts Stage had been ruthlessly destroyed by that horrifying move...

And Zhou Qingruo, the instigator, held her longsword at the Xu Family Elder's neck, her tone icy as she stated, "You've lost."

In that moment, the entire space seemed to freeze...
