Some timid Monks, upon seeing this, immediately covered their eyes in fright,
fearing that they would witness Yu Tianrou being dismembered by the chaotic swords.
However, that scene did not occur. The illusions, like fleeting light and shadows, passed directly through Yu Tianrou's body and eventually dissipated into specks of Divine Radiance in the air.
In the eyes of these Monks, Yu Tianrou seemed to be playing a roulette game with herself, using her body to test the authenticity of these clones.
If any one of them had been real, then she would have lost this match.
"I found you here!"
Yu Tianrou's previously tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open, and then, ignoring the long swords from the other clones, she directly lashed out at one of the clones.
"Snap~!"
A sound echoed, and all the clones instantly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the Heavenly Pride lying on the ground.
That Heavenly Pride bore a deep, bone-revealing whip mark, exceptionally conspicuous.
"I lost, thank you for your mercy."
The Heavenly Pride cupped his hands towards Yu Tianrou in thanks.
As Young Heroes on the Heavenly Pride List, these Heavenly Prides seldom resort to lethal measures unless there is an unresolvable hatred.
If Yu Tianrou had not shown any mercy with her whip just now, this Heavenly Pride would have definitely been cut in half by the Soft Whip.
"Hahaha, I concede."
After winning five Resource Planets, Ba Dao laughed unrestrainedly.
Once other Sects realized Frenzy Blade Sect had the support of Yu Tianrou, they dared not send their own Disciples up to the Arena.
The scene was unbearably awkward, with only Yu Tianrou standing alone on the Arena.
"Sect Master, according to our agreement, I only need to win back five Resource Stars for you, then I can enter your Holy Land to comprehend."
A young Monk holding a folding fan said softly to the Sect Master in front of him.
"No, my Mountain Sect has a generations-long friendship with Frenzy Blade Sect, although you rank tenth on the Heavenly Pride List, you cannot attack a Frenzy Blade Sect's Disciple."
The Mountain Sect Sect Master hastily said.
This Fan Cultivator was an expensive hire being ranked tenth on the Heavenly Pride List, and defeating Yu Tianrou would be effortless for him.
However, if they turned against Frenzy Blade Sect over ten Resource Stars, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Then I'll just wait."
The Fan Cultivator said indifferently, then quietly watched the Arena.
"Frenzy Blade Sect wins!"
Li Qingxuan announced the result of the match with a dark expression.
"Li Sect Master, may this old man have the chance to witness the splendor of your Sect's Disciples, this time I bet ten Resource Stars!"
Ba Dao suddenly turned his spearhead towards Li Qingxuan.
He had invested heavily to have Yu Tianrou help Frenzy Blade Sect in the battle, and if he couldn't make up for it now, it would be a huge loss.
"Ba Dao is actually betting ten Resource Planets!"
"If he loses, it'll surely be a severe blow."
"Divine Sword Sect's chances seem mysterious this time. Finding a young Monk who could defeat Yu Tianrou, ranked thirty-third on the Heavenly Pride List, throughout the entire Endless Star Sea is exceedingly rare."
...
When the other Sect Masters heard that Ba Dao was betting ten Resource Planets against Li Qingxuan, they were instantly shocked.
Although these Sects each controlled a Star Domain, most of the Star Domain consisted of uninhabitable and resourceless waste stars. The actual usable Resource Stars numbered only a little over fifty.
And now Ba Dao was gambling twenty percent of his assets all at once, this was indeed an unprecedented massive gamble since the beginning of the Hundred Sects Tournament.
"You!"
Having witnessed Yu Tianrou's capabilities, Li Qingxuan had long lost his confidence, but he didn't expect Ba Dao to press him so hard.
If he didn't accept the challenge, it would be equivalent to admitting that Divine Sword Sect was afraid of Frenzy Blade Sect, and thereafter Divine Sword Sect's Disciples would be oppressed and unable to hold their heads up in front of Frenzy Blade Sect's Disciples.
But if they accepted the challenge, it was clearly a losing situation. Even if Li Qingxuan had confidence in his disciples, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to believe that his disciples could compete with Heavenly Pride.
Not fighting would mean losing face, while accepting the challenge was akin to handing over ten Resource Planets on a silver platter.
For a moment, Li Qingxuan was also at a loss.
"How come? Is the Divine Sword Sect afraid of the Frenzy Blade Sect?"
Ba Dao, seeing Li Qingxuan hesitating, started to provoke him.
Even if the Divine Sword Sect didn't accept the challenge, he would use this opportunity to ensure the Frenzy Blade Sect emerged one step ahead of the Divine Sword Sect.
"My time is precious. Will the Divine Sword Sect accept the challenge or not?"
Yu Tianrou looked down disdainfully at the disciples standing behind Li Qingxuan and said lightly.
Her words were filled with contempt.
"Hmph, what is the Frenzy Blade Sect anyway!"
"Exactly, our Divine Sword Sect is the leader among all arms!"
"Just wait and see how the Frenzy Blade Sect gets suppressed!"
...
Being challenged by their arch-enemies at their own doorstep, some of the hot-blooded disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were immediately displeased.
"Master, your disciple is willing to fight for our Divine Sword Sect!"
The leading disciple of the Divine Sword Sect stepped forward to volunteer.
"Ah, well, go ahead, and take care of yourself."
Li Qingxuan sighed deeply and instructed his disciple.
Losing ten Resource Planets was a foregone conclusion; Li Qingxuan's only thought was not to lose a talented disciple as well.
"Even if it costs me my life, I won't let the Frenzy Blade Sect look down on us."
The leading disciple of the Divine Sword Sect said solemnly, then flew up to the arena with a sword in hand.
"Leading disciple of Divine Sword Sect, here to ask for guidance on the prowess of the Frenzy Blade Sect."
The leading disciple of the Divine Sword Sect greeted with a bow.
"Come on, let's get started. I'll let you make three moves to avoid accusations of bullying."
Yu Tianrou spoke indifferently, not even lifting her eyelids in the face of the legendary peak disciple of the Divine Sword Sect.
"My god, she's so arrogant."
"Elder brother, show him some color!"
...
The watching disciples of the Divine Sword Sect exploded in righteous indignation upon seeing Yu Tianrou's arrogant demeanor, loudly denouncing her.
"Hmph, I want to see if you have the right to be arrogant on our Divine Sword Sect's territory!"
The leading disciple of the Divine Sword Sect flashed a fierce look, and swung his sword towards Yu Tianrou, releasing a Sword Rampage.
"Whoosh~"
The Sword Rampage flashed past, appearing in front of Yu Tianrou in the next second.
"I said I would let you make three moves. You'd better grasp this opportunity."
Yu Tianrou said expressionlessly, easily sidestepping with a slight shift to the side.
Missing with the first strike, the leading disciple of the Divine Sword Sect drove his sword upwards, stabbing towards Yu Tianrou's face with two consecutive strikes.
"Boom!"
Trying to make Yu Tianrou lose face, these two strikes almost encompassed all the strength of the Divine Sword Sect's leading disciple. Wherever the sword tip passed, even the space was punctured, creating two vast holes.
Endless Sword Intent converged at the tip of the sword, spreading a chilling killing intent throughout the arena.
Yu Tianrou's initially dense Divine Radiance in front of her was instantly dissipated by these two strikes.
"Ignoring defense! It's unexpected that the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect have touched the threshold of Sword Intent left by that great being."
Other Sect Masters watching the scene exclaimed in surprise after seeing the leading disciple of the Divine Sword Sect pierce through Yu Tianrou's defenses with two strikes.
