The wind rolled in waves, and after a stalemate in the midair for a while, the White Wind Flood Dragon proved stronger by a notch and forcibly scattered the giant waves and burst forth.
However, with the giant waves delaying for a moment, Zhou Xindie was now composed as she urged the blue and white long silk to entwine the Wind Flood Dragon, and with a gentle twist, she scattered it.
Having caught her breath with the help of a Talisman, Zhou Xindie continued to maneuver the long silk around her body to fend off Xie Cunrui’s attacks, while hurriedly slapping her Spirit Beast Pouch to release her Spirit Pet.
Her Spirit Pet was an Octagonal Aquatic Deer, which she had also cultivated to a first-order high-grade level.
But such a Demon Beast was not inherently strong in combat, and had also sustained some injuries in previous battles, which was why she hadn’t released it earlier.
Now, seeing that Xie Cunrui had formidable skills, she had no choice but to let the injured Spirit Beast re-enter the fray.
With a cry—
After coming out, the Octagonal Aquatic Deer raised its head and shrieked, spewing a blue water column towards Xie Cunrui from its mouth.
This kind of attack was nothing more than an itch to Xie Cunrui.
He just chanted an incantation, formed a hand seal, and with a wave of his Feather Fan, a green and white wall of wind manifested in front of him. The blue water column slammed into it and caused only a ripple before dissipating without a trace.
However, the attack of the Octagonal Aquatic Deer did divert some of his concentration, giving Zhou Xindie a bit more breathing room.
After easing off for a bit, Zhou Xindie quickly formed hand seals to cast a first-order high-grade protective spell "Flowing Wave Cover" on herself.
However, just as she had reset her defenses and was preparing to brace herself for the continued fierce battle against Xie Cunrui, she saw him looking at her sternly and saying, "Taoist Friend Zhou, if these are all the skills you have, then this battle can come to an end!"
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Xindie’s beautiful eyes narrowed, feeling somewhat angry and looked down upon.

Thus, after questioning him, she shouted angrily, "Whatever move you have, just use it!"
"I shall do as you wish!"
With a low shout from Xie Cunrui, he immediately started forming a hand seal, and a surge of blue light appeared in his palms, quickly condensing a blue light orb that floated in front of him.
Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, the blue light orb cut through the sky and rapidly appeared in front of Zhou Xindie.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud noise, the blue light orb exploded in front of Zhou Xindie, instantly turning into countless fine wind blades engulfing her within.
Zhou Jiarui, acting as the referee, saw this and immediately tensed up.
Soon, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly mobilized the power of the Formation to forcibly suppress the still-rampaging Wind Blade Storm.
Even so, when Zhou Xindie reemerged, her clothing was torn with numerous gashes by the wind blades, and fresh blood flowed out unstoppably, staining her garments red.
Fortunately, Zhou Jiarui noticed this in time and used the power of the Formation to cover her, thus avoiding exposure.
When she reappeared in front of everyone, she was already dressed in a new white gown.
She looked at Xie Cunrui with a pale face and said softly, "Taoist Friend Xie has impressive skills, I am fully convinced in defeat!"
After speaking, she walked down from the platform slowly, frowning in pain.
Although her injuries were not particularly severe, they were also not something that could be recovered in a short period of time, and she would be unable to fight for at least the next day or two.
In anticipation of such unexpected circumstances, the Zhou Family had prepared in advance, with new Clan Members ready to replace her for this round so that the duel for magic and combat could continue.
"This kid, he really does not know how to be chivalrous!"
Watching this unfold from the stands, the Clan Leader of Xie Family couldn’t help but curse out loud instead of celebrating.
He had just been thinking of matchmaking, but now here he was, beating the girl like that in front of so many people. Didn’t she have her dignity to uphold?
Zhou Chun didn’t get angry about Zhou Xindie’s defeat and injuries.
As long as they weren’t the kind of severe injuries that were difficult to heal, a few minor wounds could serve as a lesson for these Zhou Family younger generations, preventing them from being too complacent.
Hearing the muffled curses of the Clan Leader of Xie Family, he took the opportunity to inquire, "The move just now must have been some kind of secret technique, right? Its power seems almost on par with a second-order low-grade spell!"
"Indeed, it is a secret technique that is difficult to master, and that kid is stubborn, having spent five or six years on this technique," the Clan Leader of Xie Family replied ambiguously, obviously not keen on discussing it further.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun, knowing what was appropriate, didn’t press the matter and kept watching.
Following his victory over Zhou Xindie, Xie Cunrui also defeated the twenty-sixth Zhou Family defender and, like Su Mingfu from Su Family, ultimately lost to Zhou Xinlan, the defender of the twenty-seventh match.
With that, Xie Family from Lianzhou’s points tied with Su Family, temporarily placing them first.
After Xie Family, two smaller clans took to the stage in succession but only managed to score in the teens.
Even the Qin Family from Lanzhou, a major Cultivation clan, only garnered twenty points after sending twenty-one Cultivators to the battle.
Then it was Yu Family from Lianzhou and Li Family from Yunzhou, two other major Cultivation clans, who took turns competing, scoring twenty-two and twenty-four points respectively.
It was only when Wen Family from Yunzhou, the last to enter the stage, that the battle regained a sense of suspense.
