The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

The seventh match was a special contest for Lu Qingxi. Her opponent was Lin Qiaoyue, who usually had a lot of complaints about her. The winner of this match would have the opportunity to compete with Mu Jingxuan, who had a bye, in the next round, so it attracted everyone's attention.

Mu Jingxuan knew that she didn't need to participate in the morning competition, so she didn't show up to watch the competition, but practiced with Song Hanyi in seclusion, concentrating on practicing sword. As for Ling Xiao, he didn't show up at all, and seemed to have no interest in this competition, just waiting to watch the final.

Off the field, Xuan Yi looked at Lu Qingxi worriedly, his eyes full of worry and concern. Gu Yuan, on the other hand, held the mysterious jade slip called "Youli Mo Yu Jian" with a sinister look on his face. This jade slip looks ordinary, but it actually contains a lot of secrets. Its surface is dark green, emitting a faint glow, as if it contains some unfathomable power. The texture of the jade slip is as warm as jade, and it feels cool to the touch, as if it can calm people's irritability and anxiety.

However, Gu Yuan did not hold this jade slip to calm down. His eyes moved between Lu Qingxi and Lin Qiaoyue, thinking about how to use this jade slip to interfere with the competition.

The competition started, and Lu Qingxi and Lin Qiaoyue quickly entered the state and started a fierce confrontation. The Flowing Fire Whip in Lin Qiaoyue's hand was like a fire snake dancing in the air, and the whip shadows were heavy and dazzling. Lu Qingxi held the Fang Ruo Sword, his body was agile, and his swordsmanship was precise and sharp.

The duel between the two was back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was better. Although Lin Qiaoyue's cultivation was also built up by pills, the Flowing Fire Whip in her hand was a treasure that the leader of the Beast Taming Sect found specifically for her, and it was extremely powerful. The whip was swung flexibly and varied, making Lu Qingxi feel exhausted when dealing with it.

However, Lu Qingxi was not discouraged. She carefully observed Lin Qiaoyue's movements, looking for her opponent's flaws. Before long, she finally discovered a pattern of Lin Qiaoyue - whenever she was about to attack, she would always take a specific step first. So, Lu Qingxi began to flexibly predict the opponent's movements and take the opportunity to attack.

She dodged Lin Qiaoyue's whip with a flash, and at the same time, she swung her sword to launch a fierce attack on the opponent. Two sword energies cut through the sky like lightning, heading straight for Lin Qiaoyue. Lin Qiaoyue obviously did not expect Lu Qingxi to counterattack so quickly, and she could not dodge in time, so she had to bear the two sword energies.

"Swish!" The sword energy passed through the corner of Lin Qiaoyue's clothes, causing a spark. Although she barely avoided fatal damage, she was also injured by the sword energy, and her clothes were torn, revealing several bloodstains.

The audience below the stage exclaimed when they saw this. They had not expected that Lu Qingxi could hurt Lin Qiaoyue so easily, which gave them a deeper understanding of Lu Qingxi's strength.

Lin Qiaoyue looked at Lu Qingxi in shock. She had never thought that she would suffer at the hands of this fool whom everyone thought was a fool. She felt unwilling and angry, but her breath was unstable and her shoulders were a little sore.

However, just when she was about to give up, Gu Yuan's eyes flashed. He quietly turned the jade slip in his hand, and the runes in the jade slip began to flash a fainter light. At the same time, a strand of demonic energy quietly released from the jade slip and silently invaded Lin Qiaoyue's brows.

Lin Qiaoyue only felt an inexplicable force surge into her body, and her cultivation and mind seemed to have been improved to some extent at this moment. However, she did not realize that this was the erosion of demonic energy, but instead felt that her power had become stronger.

Driven by the evil spirit, Lin Qiaoyue launched another fierce attack on Lu Qingxi. Her attack was more fierce and crazy than before, as if she wanted to defeat Lu Qingxi in one fell swoop. Lu Qingxi was alert. She felt that Lin Qiaoyue's cultivation seemed to have improved a lot in an instant, and the spiritual power fluctuations around her became extremely strong.

Lu Qingxi frowned in confusion. She didn't understand why Lin Qiaoyue suddenly became so powerful. However, she didn't have time to delve into this question because Lin Qiaoyue's attacks were coming one after another. She could only concentrate on dodging the opponent's attacks and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

However, Lin Qiaoyue's attacks were too intense and fierce, and Lu Qingxi accidentally sprained her foot while dodging. She was in so much pain that she could hardly stand, but Lin Qiaoyue did not let her go. She swung the Flowing Fire Whip in her hand again and launched a fatal attack on Lu Qingxi.

Lu Qingxi knew that she couldn't dodge in time, so she reached out to touch the defensive amulet in her arms. However, this action seemed a little too late. Her heart tightened, and she could only watch Lin Qiaoyue's whip swinging towards her.

Seeing such a thrilling scene, Xuan Yi in the audience also clenched the heart guard in his hand. The heart guard could sense the inner restlessness of its host, and the sword body was constantly trembling. Xuan Yi looked at Lu Qingxi on the stage anxiously, but because of the barrier set up on the stage, he could not go forward to help. He could only silently pray that Lu Qingxi would be safe.

In a split second, Duan Nian appeared out of thin air again. It sensed the danger of its master and automatically flew out from Lu Qingxi's waist, guarding its master like a pet. A dazzling light shot out from the sword, and Lin Qiaoyue was instantly ejected from the barrier under this force. Her body fell uncontrollably to the stage and hit several monks heavily.

The leader of the Beast Taming Sect was shocked when he saw this, and he quickly stood up and rushed forward to check on his daughter's injuries. He carefully checked and suddenly realized something was wrong. He silently recited a spell and gently tapped Lin Qiaoyue's forehead with two fingers. Soon, everyone saw a trace of black air coming out of Lin Qiaoyue's forehead. This breath was strange and powerful, which made people shudder.

The monks present began to discuss, their voices rising one after another. "This is demonic energy!" "How could the daughter of the Beast Taming Sect's leader be carrying demonic energy!" "This is not a simple matter!" The voices of discussion reached the ears of the Beast Taming Sect's leader, and his heart was in turmoil. He looked at his unconscious daughter in his arms, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

He looked up at Lu Qingxi on the stage, his voice cold and angry: "Why did you collude with the demons to harm my daughter!" These words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, and everyone's eyes turned to Lu Qingxi on the stage.

Lu Qingxi was stunned by these words, and she was confused. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but she heard the other party continue to speak: "My Beast Taming Sect will never let this matter go, you immediately follow me to see your master!" After that, he signaled to his disciples to take Lu Qingxi to where Ling Xiao was.

Seeing this, Xuan Yi was about to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by Gu Yuan who was standing beside him. Gu Yuan whispered, "Junior brother, don't be impulsive. It will be hard to convince the others if Junior Sister doesn't go. We have to trust her." Xuan Yi knew that what the other party said made sense, so he could only suppress his anger and go to Ling Xiao's residence with Gu Yuan.
