“Buzz—”
Suddenly, a dense and rich milky-colored ancient power surged from Xiao Qingxuan's body, swirling around her graceful figure, gradually intensifying!
As the speed of the ancient power's rotation increased rapidly, in the blink of an eye, a vortex of ancient power over a hundred feet high formed around her, engulfing her figure!
"Mu Mengyi, her aura has entered the second layer of the refining soul realm!" Tan Yun furrowed his brows and warned, "Be extra cautious!"
"Don't worry, I will," Mu Mengyi replied lightly, her red lips parting as she unleashed the tenfold power of the beast fetal soul enhancement, instantly sending an invisible aura sweeping around her!
Immediately afterward, her delicate left hand drew an intricate trajectory in front of her chest, and her aura suddenly surged, her waterfall-like hair dancing wildly in the wind!
The aura radiating from her caused countless space rifts to appear within a hundred feet around her; the pressure from the auras released by her and Xiao Qingxuan made the surrounding space seem poised to collapse at any moment!
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The powerful auras released by Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan surged toward each other like invisible tidal waves, and as they met in the center of the Crouching Dragon Platform, the surrounding space buzzed and trembled!
"Junior Sister Mu, draw your sword!" came Xiao Qingxuan's spirited voice from within the vortex of ancient power.
"Okay! Senior Sister Xiao, here I come!"
Mu Mengyi raised her right hand high, injecting the death power and spiritual power from within her into the Flying Sword, and the winds at the summit swirled wildly!
This time, she no longer worried about the high-grade treasure Flying Sword being destroyed!
This time, she was going to unleash her strongest sword to prove herself!
"Buzz!"
With a sudden wave of her sword, Mu Mengyi launched a sword aura only ten feet long toward Xiao Qingxuan!
The sword aura seemed to contain endless might, creating finger-thick space rifts in its wake, an alarming sight!
"Ancient Tomb Scriptures—Void Sword Strike!"
Almost simultaneously, Xiao Qingxuan's melodic voice sounded, and suddenly, the hundred-foot vortex of ancient power surrounding her shrank rapidly, condensing into a beam of light that appeared at the tip of her sword!
She spun her sword in her right hand and thrust it toward Mu Mengyi from afar; instantly, a sword aura a hundred feet long erupted from her long sword, violently stabbing at the ten-foot sword aura coming toward her!
"Bang, bang, bang—"
"Boom, rumble—"
At the moment the two sword auras collided, the vast Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2 trembled, a deafening roar echoing through the air, and the overwhelming power caused the surrounding space within two hundred feet to appear like a giant mirror filled with intersecting cracks!
The formidable aftermath rapidly spread outward at the speed of light, sending dozens of startled disciples flying from below the platform!
On Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, amid the chaotic space rifts, Mu Mengyi's ten-foot sword aura, like a bamboo splitting through the air, shattered the hundred-foot sword aura, both dissipating into the void!
"Everyone, look! Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan have disappeared!" someone at the summit exclaimed in disbelief!
In the view of hundreds of thousands of disciples, the figures of the two women had vanished from the Crouching Dragon Platform!
In just a breath, when the densely packed space rifts on the platform disappeared and the void returned to calm, the figures of Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan reappeared in everyone's sight!
The crowd seemed to witness an inexplicable scene, a clamor erupting:
"Everyone, did you see that? Who won?"
"I... I can't tell! I can't figure it out!"
"I can't figure it out either! But it seems Xiao Qingxuan has the upper hand!"
"Yeah, I also think Mu Mengyi lost, but it should only be by a little bit!"
"…"
At this moment, under the gaze of thousands, on Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan stood three feet apart, each holding their swords.
