Chapter 1010 - Assassination Sword
The Renowned Sword Manor's disciples gripped their chests in tense silence. If Shao Yuanyi lost this fight, the duel would be over.
The First Sword Manor had already started celebrating. If He Lai secured this fight, they would claim the duel with three consecutive victories that crushed their opponents.
He Lai's greatsword kept descending, and the pressure made it hard for Shao Yuanyi to breathe.
Miao Jianying lowered his gaze in helplessness when he saw the scene. The gap was too large. Though Shao Yuanyi's cultivation matched He Lai's, she lacked his level of swordsmanship comprehension.
"Manor Lord Miao, we'll soon claim the Heavenly Xun Sword! But don't worry about it. I promise I will uphold its reputation," Yin Qiong said with a smile, seizing this opportunity to take a jab at Miao Feiyu.
"Don't be so confident. The match hasn't ended yet," Miao Feiyu replied sternly. He believed the Renowned Sword Manor could turn the tables.
"Still refusing to admit defeat?" Yin Qiong sneered and turned to look at the arena.
He Lai had nearly forced Shao Yuanyi to the arena's edge, and he could end the match with another strike.
At the critical moment, Shao Yuanyi recalled Liu Wuxie's advice to aim for He Lai's lower body. Already on the verge of defeat, she figured there was no harm in trying.
She retracted her sword and gave up trading blows with He Lai head-on. Instead, she spun mid-air and glided close to the ground, launching a sudden attack aimed at He Lai's legs.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, too fast for anyone to understand why Shao Yuanyi had suddenly changed her tactics. Not to mention, she launched attacks using unfamiliar moves.
