Chapter 2753: 2753
This was definitely the best time to defeat the group due to the big openings present in their formation . The spent Ziqing realized this too but she was powerless and could only watch this opportunity drift by before her eyes .
The seven naturally realized the flaws in the formation . They ignored their wounds and returned to their position to stabilize the arrays .
“Buzz . ” The formation became bright once more and full of momentum . The openings disappeared from sight .
“How unfortunate . ” The spectating experts and ancestors lamented, fully aware of the fight’s intricacies .
“This can go either way now . ” One ancestor shook his head after seeing the formation up and running once more .
The actual fight betrayed their expectation of an easy victory for Ziqing . She had lost the best chance to take down these seven disciples now .
The experienced ancestors noted that she had lost her biggest advantage and opportunity . It looked quite grim now .
Ziqing started strong but used up her strength too quickly, lacking the tenacity and toughness shown in her opponents . This must have been obtained through arduous training .
“Stay calm . ” Li Jiankun commanded as they surrounded Ziqing .
“Rumble!” The treasury of the formation opened . Numerous walls emerged around Ziqing along with shields appearing around the seven .
The seven chose a steady method and used powerful defensive measures to trap Ziqing . They didn’t want to recklessly attack in a direct manner, rather choosing to make her run out of vitality and energy .
Prior to this, her vitality was ample until she decided to use her true blood to activate the imperial sword . Though she managed to beat the group in that exchange, she was completely spent now . The move stemmed from rage and pride accelerated her defeat .
“You think I’m that easily beaten?!” Ziqing could see their aim and roared .
She had gotten some strength back after the break and swung her sword horizontally .
“Clank!” Sword waves looking like a tornado shot out in order to break the supreme formation .
However, Jiahui’s group moved in a perfect manner - defending when the enemy is attacking and going on the offensive when the enemy is backing off instead of forcing the issue .
Several rounds like that left Ziqing’s sword energy weakened, the same with her true energy . She attempted several times to break through by using her strongest sword moves and offensive techniques .
Alas, this couldn’t defeat Li Qiye’s formation and only made her waste energy at a faster rate .
The situation increasingly deteriorated as time went on . She was at a disadvantage, unable to change the momentum of the battle .
After depleting her resources, she lost the ability to go on the offense . Now, she had to use her sword for survival .
Nevertheless, the other seven weren’t in a rush to take her down . They slowly and steadily pressed onward to push Ziqing to her death while maintaining the formation arrays .
“There’s no changing this . ” Many older experts shook their head knowing that Ziqing had lost .
This result stunned everyone since they were so bullish on her at the start . They were also impressed by this miraculous showing from the seven . To kill an opponent two realms above? What an achievement .
The referee, Pinnacle Sword Saint, opened his mouth several times wanting to stop the fight but eventually swallowed his words .
He clearly stood on the side of Ziqing since his kingdom had a good relationship with Central Sacred Ground . He wanted to be a referee in order to side with Ziqing .
Who would have thought that the fight would develop like this? He had no reason to stop the fight since the other seven weren’t breaking the rules .
Moreover, he couldn’t be so blatant either . He was still a big shot in the system and couldn’t throw his reputation into the trash for a junior’s sake .
The young male and female disciples who followed Ziqing here were indignant at this scene . Some heckled at the seven in order to distract them and give Ziqing a chance .
“How shameless, seven against one? Are all Mountguard disciples like this?” One youth shouted .
“They have no honor, resorting to anything and everything to win, that’s the only reason why they’re still in the fight . ” Another from Central Sacred Ground laughed .
The mockeries were futile because the group wasn’t moved at all . They maintained a slow yet effective strategy in surrounding Ziqing .
Ziqing’s true energy continued to deplete while trying to stay alive . She was feeble and out of breath, finding it hard to defend against the barrage of attack . She got hit several times, battered and bloodied .
“Boom!” Finally, a shield smashed her down to the ground and made her vomit blood .
“Clank!” A sword thrust from Jiahui showed no mercy .
However, Ziqing was fast with evading so the thrust missed its target, only piercing through her shoulder and pinning her down to the ground .
“Stop!” Pinnacle Sword Saint finally told them to stop at this crucial moment .
The group wanted to kill Ziqing but stopped after hearing this .
“Okay, the fight ends here . You have won . ” He came over and declared .
“Hmm…” Some spectators supported this decision while others showed disdain .
Everyone could see the blatant bias from the referee towards Zhou Ziqing and her sect .
Alas, no one wanted to offend the two behemoths so they only scoffed and didn’t say anything else .
“Isn’t this a fight to the death?” Lu Ruoxi was unwilling to stop .
“It’s different here . ” The referee’s expression soured: “Reincarnation Mountain City is a holy place of the progenitor . Staining this place with blood is sacrilegious so this ends here with your victory . ”
“We don’t accept!” Jiahui said: “Rules are rules, and it stated that this won’t end till death . She wants to kill us so it’s fine that we kill her now!”
“Such impudence!” The sword saint’s eyes shot out sharp glint: “My decision is in accordance with the rules, killing the innocent is not allowed!”
“Too much bias . ” One ancestor from a relatively large sect shook his head but didn’t stand up for the seven .
No one really cared that a third-rate sect was being treated unfairly . Reasons and justice weren’t upheld right now because doing so would be provoking the sword saint and the two powers behind Ziqing . It simply wasn’t worth it .
