What do you mean the game swordsman I controlled has come back to life?

Yue Qingwu had no idea how strong Jiang Yu was, nor did she know if she could defeat him.

But she wanted to give it a try and compete with those prodigies.

As cultivators, they are already defying the heavens and vying for the Great Dao. Yue Qingwu also has a heart that yearns for the Dao.

"Then I'll strike first and see if you can catch it."

Jiang Yu raised his sword: "The fragrant soul returns to the earth to warm the cold soil, the chilling charm permeates the robes of the year."

As he recited his poem, he slashed his sword down at Yue Qingwu.

A scene of frost-covered land appeared on the arena, enveloping Yue Qingwu.

Suddenly, she felt ice crystals in her breath, her spiritual energy condensed, and a weight pressed down on her, making her movements sluggish.

"Confucianism excels at establishing its own doctrines and creating its own rules. We Confucian scholars study the classics of the sages in order to create our own rules and prove our path in the future. What I have chosen is poetry."

The poetic imagery is transformed into sword energy; this is the attack method of Confucian sword cultivators.

The imagery is of frosty, thick earth.

Jiang Yu patiently explained, not in a hurry to take action.

Yue Qingwu gathered her spiritual energy, drew her sword, and unleashed her most proficient swordplay.

The frost-covered land was torn apart and shattered.

Yue Qingwu's expression was solemn.

This person is very strong.

Even before the opponent drew his sword, the mere image of it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But I'm not without a chance of winning.

The sword cultivators of the Shangqing Sword Sect have mastered the ultimate killing techniques, capable of wielding a single sword to cut down the entire world. In a direct confrontation, she would not be at a disadvantage.

"Now for my move to defeat you, watch closely."

Jiang Yu raised his sword again.

"When spring is deep and all is quiet, this clear mind is the flower of Zen."

A forest came into view, and fallen leaves transformed into sharp sword energy that slashed towards Yue Qingwu.

Yue Qingwu swung her sword, severing all the sword energy that approached her.

With a flick of his toes, he charged towards the river fish, a path strewn with flashing blades.

Jiang Yu remained motionless, smiling as he waited for Yue Qingwu to attack.

They raised their swords and slashed, the two swords clashed, and the sword energy between them scattered, cutting huge gaps in the entire arena.

The two fought fiercely.

The surrounding audience couldn't help but hold their breath; this intense clash between geniuses was truly breathtaking.

"I didn't expect there to be such a female sword cultivator in the outer sect of the Shangqing Sword Sect. Yue Qingwu will remember this." Zuo Zhanquan's eyes revealed fighting spirit.

"Amitabha, this female benefactor is truly powerful. If she were to join the Buddhist order, it would be a very auspicious event," Huizhong said, pressing his palms together.

Li Mu stroked his chin. Yue Qingwu was unexpectedly strong, but if that was all the strength he had, he probably wouldn't be a match for Jiang Yu.

It's starting to lose momentum.

Intense battles naturally involve a significant depletion of spiritual energy and a decrease in physical strength.

However, Yue Qingwu's spiritual energy and physical strength are far inferior to Jiang Yu's.

Those who are stuck at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining have honed their cultivation to the extreme in both realm and physique, waiting for an opportunity to break through and achieve Foundation Establishment.

Yue Qingwu had only recently entered the 9th level of Qi Refining, and his foundation was unstable.

The reason they've been able to fight this far is because of Yue Qingwu's profound swordsmanship.

"He's still young, but he's a force to be reckoned with."

Even Li Mu and the others could see it, so Su Qinghan and the others in the top-floor audience seats naturally knew as well.

Su Qinghan didn't care that her disciple would lose, after all, Yue Qingwu had only reached the 7th level of Qi Refining not long ago.

Reaching the 9th level of Qi Refining in such a short time, and being able to compete with the prodigies of other sects, is enough.

"Can you handle this next move?" Jiang Yu smiled and raised his sword again.

Oh no! I can't let him use his sword technique again; my spiritual power isn't enough to withstand another attack.

Yue Qingwu was panting as she fought Jiang Yu. She had to constantly defend against the fallen leaves and thick soil that transformed into sword intent, which took a huge toll on her.

She took out her gourd and took a sip.

The effects of the alcohol were rising.

"Listening to the falling plum blossoms and snow!"

Yue Qingwu felt her spiritual energy being rapidly drained from her body.

"The sound of willows breaking in the flute's melody, yet I have not seen the spring scenery."

Jiang Yu also used his own moves to clash with Jiang Yu.

Willow leaves, which occupied a small portion of the arena, collided with a small patch of falling snow.

"What?"

Jiang Yu, who thought he could easily suppress Yue Qingwu's moves, watched as the sword energy formed from his image vanished the moment it touched the snowflakes.

A patch of snow, speckled with crimson, landed on him.

Instantly, countless sword energies surged into his body, and Jiang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Yue Qingwu secretly regretted it, but he did not have the ability to unleash the Drunken Sword Immortal's moves again.

She didn't know what level of sword technique it was, but since that demon forced her to learn it, it couldn't be low-level.

Yue Qingwu had tried to use the Sword Immortal's moves, but they drained her spiritual power in just one move.

Even so, she was unable to unleash the full power of this move.

That's when she realized that this wasn't meant for her.

At least, it's not a move that she, at her current level of Qi Refining 9, can use.

This is why she didn't use the Sword Immortal's moves in the competition; even if she did, she could only use half a move.

Once she uses it, she has no further combat ability.

"What kind of move is that? Its power is terrifying!"

Many Foundation Establishment level experts in the top-tier audience stood up.

Those few snowflakes actually thwarted Jiang Yu's attacks with unstoppable force.

The power it exuded was something that cultivators in the Qi Refining stage could not possibly unleash.

Even if they are unprepared, they will be injured by this move.

"Su Qinghan, what's this move called? Did you teach it to you?"

"I didn't teach her this trick."

Su Qinghan was also extremely shocked, as she had never taught Yue Qingwu this move.

Or rather, she herself wouldn't possess such terrifying sword techniques.

"What do you mean you didn't teach me? If this half-move sword technique were executed in its entirety, it would be no less than the Heavenly level."

Those people didn't believe it; surely it couldn't have been figured out by the other party on their own.

Or perhaps someone with expertise is giving you guidance.

"Perhaps it was taught by my master." Su Qinghan knew that her disciple must have some kind of destiny with the immortals.

She decided to cover for her disciple, though it might not be very effective, since everyone here belonged to reputable sects and there was no open competition for the younger generation's opportunities.

"What kind of move is that?" Jiang Yu stood up, spitting out blood.

"Listening to the falling plum blossoms and snow," Yue Qingwu replied, his face pale as he knelt on the ground.

"That's it. As expected, AI taking over is not smart enough. I still have to do it myself."

The demon's voice echoed in Yue Qingwu's mind, and she was startled. He had been there all along!

"Surrender now!" Yue Qingwu shouted anxiously.

"Surrender?" Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed.

"Your move was powerful, but you exhausted your spiritual energy to use it, while I was only injured. You lost."

"No, no, I... I'm afraid I'll beat you to death later." Yue Qingwu was extremely anxious, but she couldn't reveal the existence of that demon.

It won't be me fighting you anymore; a tyrant who kills at will is coming!

"Kill me? That's just bluffing. You think I, Jiang Yu, will be intimidated?"

"Come on if you dare!" Jiang Yu said with a disdainful look.

He's aiming to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill; how could he possibly lose here?

Yue Qingwu, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up.

"I've never heard of such a request in my life."
