My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 446: Dark Horse, The Empress Strikes Rich

"Fine!"

"If you won't come out, I'll shatter the entire stage. Let's see where you can hide then!"

"You can keep hiding until you die!"

The Sea Sedation Sect disciple roared furiously, his trident expanding dramatically in his hands as torrents of seawater surged around him. The terrifying surge of water element spiritual energy filled the entire arena.

This formidable attack was akin to the full-force strike of a late Saint Stage cultivator. The surrounding factions, witnessing this spectacle, were astonished. They had initially considered the Sea Sedation Sect disciple to be merely an elite, but their perceptions had now shifted.

Such an attack from a mid-stage Saint cultivator suggested that the disciple must be a core member of the Sea Sedation Sect. For a disciple from Lanyan Royal School to push a core member of the Sea Sedation Sect to such extremes indicated that their own strength was formidable.

However, the Sea Sedation Sect disciple was likely unaware of the extent of this large-scale attack that could engulf the entire arena. With no escape, he would have no choice but to endure the onslaught.

A cultivator at the early Saint stage, even with the most powerful defensive treasures, would find it incredibly difficult to withstand such a devastating attack, and their very survival was uncertain.

"Die!"

The Sea Sedation Sect disciple, accumulating his power, was about to unleash his attack when an unexpected event occurred. A powerful force suddenly struck his weakest point of defense—his head.

"Life Gate: Open, Borrowing Power!"

Mo Li formed hand seals, and his figure reappeared in midair. He forcefully stomped on the head of the Sea Sedation Sect disciple, the overwhelming power driving him to a half-kneeling position and abruptly halting his attack.

"You... sneak attack... shameless!"

The Sea Sedation Sect disciple, enduring immense pain, glared venomously at Mo Li. Moments later, he spat blood and could no longer stand. The trident fell from his hand, which Mo Li caught and then turned against him.

Holding the trident, Mo Li, using the powerful physical strength granted by the Life Gate, aimed it at the disciple's head.

If this strike landed, his opponent's head would be gone.

"I... surrender!"

At the critical moment, the Sea Sedation Sect disciple chose to surrender. The judge's voice immediately rang out: "Lanyan Royal School disciple, Mo Li, wins!"

Simultaneously, a gentle force enveloped Mo Li's attack, preventing him from harming the Sea Sedation Sect disciple.

"Thank you for your concession!"

Mo Li returned the trident, but the Sea Sedation Sect disciple shamelessly protested.

"Judge, this result is unfair!"

"He used stealth techniques to hide, possibly outside the stage. Otherwise, I would have forced him out long ago!"

The Sea Sedation Sect disciple brandished his trident and shouted loudly towards the Immortal Realm judges. However, his cries received no response.

Mo Li shook his head in resignation. The Qimen Dunjia technique allowed one to escape to any location. Among Saint Stage cultivators, only those who practiced particularly esoteric techniques had any chance of detecting his presence, and he had been calmly observing the opponent all along.

This disciple had exceptional talent and formidable strength, but his lack of strategic thinking was his downfall. After Mo Li's escape, had the disciple focused solely on defense, there was a possibility he might have been forced out. Even if the final outcome could not be altered, it would have at least compelled Mo Li to reveal more of his techniques.

What a pity. Mo Li shook his head, deciding not to waste more time with someone so lacking in insight. As the principal had once said, conversing with those who lack intelligence can only lead to one's own intellect diminishing.

"Don't think you can leave!"

As Mo Li was about to depart, a gust of wind came his way. The Sea Sedation Sect disciple launched a sneak attack.

"If you can sneak attack, so can I! Die!"

The Sea Sedation Sect disciple produced a concealed weapon and launched it towards the back of Mo Li's head, his eyes glinting with a bloodthirsty light.

This attack had been meticulously planned, prepared since the moment of his supposed surrender, waiting for the opportunity when Mo Li would be unprepared. However, he was unaware that Mo Li had never deactivated the Qimen Dunjia formation; everything he did was under Mo Li's control.

As the concealed weapon approached, a flicker of murderous intent appeared in Mo Li's eyes as he prepared to counterattack.

"Do not provoke me, and I will not provoke you. But if you offend me, I will return a hundredfold!"

This was a guiding principle taught by the principal, which Mo Li deeply believed in.

At that moment, another force manifested on the arena, causing Mo Li to immediately halt his counterattack.

"The Great Competition of All Clans, fighting is prohibited after the match."

"Violators will be executed!"

With a cold voice, the Sea Sedation Sect disciple was instantly bound by a powerful force and turned to dust.

Is this the power of a Divine Realm expert?

Mo Li felt a chill, grateful he hadn't struck back.

The other factions were equally shocked. The judge, a Divine Realm expert, had just killed the Sea Sedation Sect disciple.

Divine Realm experts were ruthless, ensuring the competition's fairness.

Even the Sea Sedation Sect's leader, seeing this, said nothing, merely reclaiming the disciple's belongings.

In the Immortal Realm, geniuses were common, but artifacts were rare and precious. The trident, though not a divine artifact, was a rare treasure, its power rivaling top-tier emperor weapons in the disciple's hands. Reclaiming the trident was a loss they could accept.

Other factions understood the judge's warning, instructing their disciples to strictly follow the competition rules.

"What kind of force is this Lanyan Royal School? Their disciples are incredibly strong! In two matches, they seemed to win as underdogs, but it was actually a one-sided domination."

"This sect from the Earthly Realm is extraordinary!"

As the match ended, many factions took note of Lanyan Royal School.

At the betting tables, Lanyan Royal School's name became more prominent.

"Another win!"

"Damn! I bet on Lanyan Royal School to win the second match after their first victory!"

"I won! Wooo!"

"Why did I only bet one top-grade spirit stone? I should have bet everything like that mysterious person!"

At the betting table, more and more people began placing their bets on Lanyan Royal School. The dealer's smile grew increasingly genial.

After Lanyan Royal School's victories in the first and second rounds, which had revealed them as a dark horse, the dealer had lost a bit of spirit stones to control the odds. However, with the surge in bets from these new patrons, he was certain to recover his losses. The odds had now naturally reached the numbers he desired, requiring no further adjustments.
