In fact, from the moment everyone learned that Nangong Xiu was Dongfang Yu's opponent, they knew it was a battle he would inevitably lose.
Nangong Xiu's cultivation level was already higher than Dongfang Yu's, and coupled with the backing of the royal family, Dongfang Yu had no chance of winning.
According to Lingyin Academy's perspective, Nangong Xiu was definitely going to make it to the finals. It could only be said that Dongfang Yu's luck was not good enough.
"For the third round, Dongfang Yu versus Nangong Xiu!"
With the referee's words, Dongfang Yu and Nangong Xiu stepped onto the martial stage together.
On the martial stage, Nangong Xiu's gaze fell on Baili Hongzhuang, regardless of whether Mo Yunjue's words were true or false, he had already developed a grudge with Baili Hongzhuang!
Originally, he hoped to face Baili Hongzhuang in this match, but unexpectedly Nangong Yue'er had already challenged her first.
Since his current opponent was also a practitioner from Canglan Academy, he decided to reclaim some interest from Dongfang Yu first!
Feeling the provoking gaze of Nangong Xiu, a hint of worry appeared in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes.
With Nangong Xiu's narrow-mindedness, there might be unexpected changes in this round!
"The match begins!"
With a wave of the referee's hand, Dongfang Yu and Nangong Xiu had already assumed their stances.
Nangong Xiu didn't hesitate in the slightest and directly charged towards Dongfang Yu. The full power of his third stage of the Red Realm erupted, suppressing Dongfang Yu with overwhelming attacks!
Feeling the formidable power of Nangong Xiu, Dongfang Yu's eyes also showed a touch of nervousness.
The gap in strength between the two was simply too great. Even if he used all his abilities, it would be difficult to withstand Nangong Xiu's successive attacks!
Bang!
Dongfang Yu was hit by Nangong Xiu's palm, and his handsome face momentarily turned pale, but he didn't fall.
Even in defeat, he had to exert some of his own strength. At least, he had tried his best!
However, what happened next made the eyes of Baili Hongzhuang and the others brim with anger.
On the high platform, Nangong Xiu seemed to be deliberately toying with Dongfang Yu, continuously attacking him but not allowing him to lose all his fighting power.
That appearance was like a cat playing with a mouse, treating Dongfang Yu as a plaything, trampling upon his dignity!
Even though Dongfang Yu exerted all his efforts, he still couldn't harm Nangong Xiu.
His face became extremely unsightly. Even though he had known that Nangong Xiu was playing with him, he had no way to change the situation.
Because he couldn't directly admit defeat!
Witnessing this scene, everyone present wore extremely unpleasant expressions, and the students from Canglan Academy were filled with anger.
"Damn it! Nangong Xiu is simply a bastard!"
Xia Zhiqing's eyes burned with raging fury. This kind of approach was simply too excessive!
"I really want to rush up and tear that bastard apart!"
Bai Junyu was also very impulsive. This approach not only insulted Dongfang Yu's strength but also trampled upon his dignity!
Moreover, after this battle, it was very likely that Dongfang Yu would lose all faith in continuing on his cultivation path.
Because Nangong Xiu was using this method to crush Dongfang Yu's spirit!
Baili Hongzhuang's pitch-black eyes were filled with a cold light as she clenched her fists.
Even when Nangong Xiu took the stage, she had already anticipated that this match would be very difficult. However, she never expected Nangong Xiu to employ such despicable tactics. It was simply shameless to the extreme!
