Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Xue Zhao Wins

However, the power of Xue Wei was already exhausted, and the ice element he was able to manifest appeared weak and powerless.

Xue Zhao looked at Xue Wei coldly, with no trace of pity in her eyes: "Your power is already depleted, struggling further is futile."

Xue Wei lay on the ground, with a fierce gleam flashing in his eyes.

Relying on direct strength, he could never defeat Xue Zhao.

At this moment, his heart was filled with anger and unwillingness. Slowly, he raised his palm slightly, with a trace of dark energy quietly coalescing in his palm.

If knowledgeable, one would instantly recognize that this was a Secret Technique of the Demon Clan, once unleashed, its power would be immense, but also incredibly dangerous.

Xue Wei’s face grew somber, his eyes filled with viciousness.

His lips curved slightly, revealing a cold smile: "Xue Zhao, you think you have already won, but I still have one last trump card."

He cautiously hid that trace of dark energy behind him, waiting for the best opportunity.

On stage, Xue Zhao hadn’t noticed Xue Wei’s actions; she continued to watch the fallen Xue Wei coldly, believing he had completely lost the ability to resist.

However, standing below the stage, Ye Qingchen sharply caught Xue Wei’s subtle movements.

He saw the dark energy in Xue Wei’s palm, and his heart was suddenly alarmed, knowing the situation was dire.

"Xue Zhao, be careful!" Ye Qingchen hastily shouted a warning, his voice full of urgency.

Upon hearing Ye Qingchen’s warning, Xue Zhao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, quickly turning her head to look at Xue Wei.

In that instant, Xue Wei abruptly sprang up from the ground, the dark energy in his hand shooting towards Xue Zhao like a venomous serpent.

This force was extremely dangerous; if it hit, it would surely inflict lethal harm on Xue Zhao.

However, Xue Zhao reacted extremely swiftly, almost simultaneously with Ye Qingchen’s shouted warning, she had already initiated her defense.

A layer of Ice Crystal Shield appeared in front of her instantly, blocking the attack of that dark energy.

The dark energy struck the Ice Crystal Shield with a piercing sound, the powerful impact forced Xue Zhao back a few steps, but she did not suffer any substantial harm.

Seeing his sneaky attack foiled, Xue Wei’s expression became more sinister, his eyes filled with madness.

How did she manage to evade it!

Looking at the unharmed Xue Zhao in front of him, Xue Wei gritted his teeth, his inner rage reached its peak.

Xue Zhao looked at Xue Wei, her cold gaze seemed to penetrate his soul.

Her voice was as cold as ice: "Xue Wei, you really only know how to use these underhanded tricks. Just wait until I tell others about this, see if you can continue vying for the Saint Position."

Upon hearing Xue Zhao’s taunt, a fleeting shadow passed across Xue Wei’s face, but soon he laughed wildly.

His laughter was filled with madness and disdain: "Go ahead, reveal it! Who do you think would believe you? That move was incredibly concealed, no one would notice! Everyone would just think you’re framing me!"

Xue Zhao continued to watch Xue Wei coldly, without a hint of fluctuation in her eyes.

She sneered: "Xue Wei, do you really think your little trick can deceive everyone? Your despicability and shamelessness are already well-known. The more you struggle like this, the more pathetic you seem."

Xue Wei’s laughter came to an abrupt stop, his expression grew more sinister.

He looked at Xue Zhao, a trace of venom flashed in his eyes: "Xue Zhao, you won’t win! I absolutely won’t let you succeed easily!"

The audience below the stage watched this scene, whispering among themselves.

"Look at Xue Zhao and Xue Wei, they are truly like fire and water."

"Yes, Xue Wei seems to have exhausted all his tricks."

"Xue Zhao is really impressive, not only did she recover, but she also beat Xue Wei without him having any chance to fight back."

Qin Chuan and Xiao Xiao were also watching this scene below the stage, filled with tension.

Xiao Xiao bit her lip, eyes full of worry: "That despicable Xue Wei, dared to use a sneaky move. If it weren’t for Young Master timely discovering... Xue Zhao sister must be careful."

At the scene, apart from Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao, no one noticed Xue Wei’s hidden move.

At that moment, the Family Head sat on a high platform, his brow knotted, his face somber.

He watched as the two on stage stopped, Xue Zhao stood calmly while Xue Wei appeared haggard, clearly already at a disadvantage.

The Family Head’s heart burned with rage, his eyes flashed with the expression of disappointment.

He cursed under his breath, inwardly scolding Xue Wei for his incompetence: "This worthless thing! Failing at such a crucial moment!"

Looking at Xue Wei still lying on the ground, powerless to resist, his displeasure grew.

The Family Head slapped the armrest firmly, his voice filled with endless anger: "Xue Wei, if you don’t get up, this match goes to Xue Zhao!"

The crowd below the stage heard the Family Head’s words and turned to look at Xue Wei, discussions started once more.

"The Family Head is clearly very disappointed in Xue Wei."

"Yes, Xue Wei was supposed to be the one everyone had high hopes for, how did he become so easily defeated?"

"Looks like Xue Zhao is really going to win."

The Elders below the stage exchanged glances, evidently surprised by the Family Head’s attitude, but mostly watched silently.

Xue Wei felt pressured upon hearing the Family Head’s words.

If he didn’t do something, not only would the Family Head be disappointed, but his status in the Xue Family might plummet.

He gritted his teeth, struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes flashed with a trace of venom.

"I won’t let you succeed, Xue Zhao!" Xue Wei growled in a low voice, his eyes full of rage and reluctance.

Watching Xue Wei’s struggle, Xue Zhao coldly laughed: "Xue Wei, don’t you understand? Your era is over."

After saying this, Xue Zhao swung her Ice Whip again, this time her attack was more fierce, carried with resolute force.

The Ice Whip sliced towards Xue Wei like lightning, each strike carried incomparable power.

Xue Wei barely upheld his body, attempting to fend off Xue Zhao’s attacks, but he had little energy left, each whip caused him immense pain, his body swayed.

Eventually, Xue Wei couldn’t withstand it anymore, fell heavily onto the ground, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of despair.

The Family Head watched this scene, could no longer contain his anger.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his displeasure, yet the somber look on his face remained impossible to conceal.

This match, Xue Wei had completely lost, Xue Zhao was undoubtedly the winner of this competition.

"Xue Wei, you have truly disappointed me." the Family Head said quietly, his voice filled with infinite disappointment and anger.

In this first round, Xue Wei received a crucial blow.

The Family Head stood up, walked to the center of the Competition Stage, each step heavy and authoritative.

The commotion below the stage gradually settled, all eyes focused on the Family Head, awaiting his judgment.

The Family Head walked next to Xue Wei, looked at his blood-soaked, weak appearance, snorted coldly and shook his head.
