The golden Garuda shrieked, its golden feathers constantly flapping. A fierce wind rose, creating a whirlwind of gold that rushed forward.
The twisted void, with continuous wind and thunder, was filled with brilliant golden light. Mu Yao flapped her wings, trying to break free from the binding waves.
The fierce wind swept through, raising towering waves and spreading golden light in all directions. It was as if a shower of golden light was pouring down from all sides.
Around Garuda, a hurricane-like golden storm surged, with layers upon layers of sharp and dazzling golden light forming dozens or hundreds of phantoms.
"What a terrifying Garuda!"
Countless voices cried out in surprise as Mu Yao transformed into the mighty and fierce Garuda. In the midst of the golden storm, Garuda appeared like a majestic bird soaring in the sky, emanating a powerful and overwhelming presence. It felt as if mountains could be moved and seas could be overturned!
The four directions trembled, and even the vast sky above the golden boulder was filled with a mighty energy!
"The Garuda clan lives up to its name..."
This was just a transformed Garuda, if the true Garuda clan were to descend as a majestic bird, how much more powerful would it be!
"The Garuda bloodline truly lives up to its reputation, but ultimately, you are not a true Garuda, and your cultivation level is still somewhat lacking!"
Li Qingwei spoke, her white silk dress fluttering. Occasionally, a glimpse of her fair and flawless skin could be seen. Her aura was pure and untouched by the dust of the world, as ethereal as a heavenly being. Her hair danced in the wind, and her figure was graceful. Combined with her stunning face, she was a beauty that could captivate all.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Qingwei continually manipulated the remnants of her soul, causing waves of terrifying power to surge in the sky. Accompanied by the power of heaven and earth, mysterious runes appeared.
Finally, in front of the humanoid remnant shadow, an endless body of water transformed into a giant sword made of flowing water. It emitted a dreadful sword aura, carrying the force of the vast ocean, and directly slashed at the Garuda illusion.
At this moment, Li Qingwei's energy burst to the extreme, far surpassing Mu Yao.
In the shining eyes of Garuda's illusion, Mu Yao became frightened.
Mu Yao's expression grew serious as she tried to avoid it, but she couldn't.
This is a suppression in terms of cultivation. Li Qingwei's level of cultivation is much higher than hers, impossible to surpass.
The sword light fell on Garuda's back, transforming into thousands of sword shadows, destroying the golden light.
The Garuda's illusion trembled, and the golden light finally shattered. Mu Yao's figure appeared, spitting blood from her mouth and crashing into a golden boulder.
On the golden boulder, Mu Yao couldn't help but stagger back again, the pale corners of her lips stained with a faint golden blood, adding a touch of tragic beauty.

Li Qingwei's whole body became calm, her face turned pale, and there was a faint trace of red blood at the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, all the conflicts settled down and there was silence all around.
Almost everyone's gaze fell on the two outstanding beauties at this moment, causing astonishment.
"I have been defeated."
With her eyes fixed on Li Qingwei, Mu Yao's eyes gleamed and took a moment to calm down. She knew her situation, she had already lost.
"If we were at the same level of cultivation, I might not be able to defeat you."
Li Qingwei looked at Mu Yao and said, If they were at the same level of cultivation, she might not be able to defeat Mu Yao. At this moment, her victory was based on the advantage of her cultivation level.
Mu Yao looked at Li Qingwei and smiled slightly, saying, "Losing is losing, but there will be a chance for another battle in the future."
As she finished speaking, Mu Yao leaped off the golden boulder, but her gaze glanced at a seemingly unremarkable figure on the side of the golden boulder.
Just now, during the conflict, she felt that aura, which seemed to have a familiar sensation. That aura, that power, was too familiar...
Staring at that seemingly ordinary young man, Mu Yao seemed like she wanted to see through him, but couldn't figure out anything.
"Did she find something...?"
Su Yi felt Mu Yao's gaze, showing no trace on his face, but his heart was in turmoil. Did Mu Yao start to suspect something?
On the four giant stones, there stood only one figure each.
Watching those four young figures, three boys and one girl, everyone present today witnessed what it meant to have extraordinary talent.
Even the strong and elders of the major forces were shaken by this.
Without a doubt, the young geniuses emerging in this Saint Martial Assembly surpassed the past and were a bit freakishly powerful!
However, among the Five Sects and Three Schools, except for the Qingyun Sect, the other sects were very regretful.
Surprisingly, only the Qingyun Sect secured a place among the top four, while the other sects suffered defeat.
And what was even more unexpected, two unknown guys surprisingly made it to the top four.
Bing FuKuang, Guilan, and the people from Sacred Mountain were not happy at all. Yi Su and Xu Chen actually entered the top four together, which didn't make them happy.
The sound of the bell rang melodiously as Ouyang Yuanfeng stepped into the void again, announcing the start of the next round. The booming sound mixed with the vitality, but was overshadowed by the noisy cheers.
The remaining four people on the golden boulder caused the whole arena to boil with excitement.
Even the name of Su Yi's Yi Su couldn't be contained, as many young people couldn't help but cheer.
The four golden boulders once again lit up, surrounded by mist and a sense of holiness, spinning and moving.
Then, the four golden boulders moved and rotated, finally touching and condensing into two even larger stones, facing each other on either side of the vast square.
Two shiny golden rocks stood like small golden squares on this vast square.
On one of the golden rocks, a young and powerful figure stood together with a graceful and fairy-like figure. It was Nanan Ruyu and Li Qingwei.
On the other golden rock, opposite them were Su Yi and Xu Chen.
When Su Yi and Xu Chen locked eyes, a hint of helpless smiles appeared on their faces.
Li Qingwei furrowed her eyebrows. She had to face Nanan Ruyu, one of the people she least wanted to face.
"Considering you are a mere woman, you can surrender and admit defeat!"
Nanan Ruyu stood there quietly. His eyes had a gentler gaze, crystal-clear and seemingly bottomless. His skin was translucent like jade, with long dark hair cascading down his shoulders, shimmering with a faint glow. He looked at Li Qingwei and spoke.
"I know you are strong, but the Qingyun Sect doesn't surrender without a fight!"
Li Qingwei opened her rosy lips, her voice was captivating, with beautiful big eyes and graceful posture.
At this moment, Li Qingwei stood on a shining giant rock. Her elegance and beauty made countless young girls feel embarrassed and unable to compare with her.
"You have become strong, a Quasi Heavenly Grade soul. But unfortunately, you are still not a true Heavenly Grade soul, and not enough to fight against me!"
Nanan Ruyu was moved, his expression started to change, and his sacred aura began to fluctuate. His clear eyes suddenly lit up like lightning, causing Li Qingwei's heart to tremble inexplicably.
