The Battle with Hongjing

“Look over there!”

Xu Yi and Yu Xiaoyu were engrossed in their conversation when sudden exclamations filled the air.

They immediately followed the astonished gazes of the crowd and saw that on the competition stage, Lu Zaiye had somehow broken through the thread’s attack and arrived beside Bai Shan.

By the time everyone noticed, Lu Zaiye had already grabbed Bai Shan’s neck with one hand.

Lu Zaiye, with his cultivation at the early stage of Astral Projection, had once again defeated Bai Shan, who was at the late stage of Astral Projection.

It turned out that he was the true dark horse.

Many cultivators’ eyes darted quickly, contemplating whether they should take a bold risk and place a significant bet on him to secure a top-three position in tomorrow’s final.

Lu Zaiye held onto Bai Shan, his eyes flickering with a cold gleam, a hint of murderous intent emerging.

During their confrontation, he had sensed a feeling from Bai Shan that disgusted him.
