"Vast Righteous Palm!"
```
Xu Yuan's face, pale to the extreme, under the light and heat, gave the illusion of an old man facing the sunset.
But he, drained and exhausted, had no intent to surrender.
Grasping the Thunderfire Sword, he was about to unleash the Throw You Rem with his last bit of Spiritual Power.
However, a cold and clear sword cry, carrying a shrill command, suddenly traveled from the distant sky.
"Stop!"
Accompanying that shrill cry was a stunningly fast streak of Bright Sword Light.
"What?!"
The Confucian-Mo Pavilion youth was startled at first, but then resolved to ignore the incoming Sword Light, his eyes fiercely set on continuing forward.
He could see that although the Sword Light was exceedingly fast, the distance between them was simply too great, and it was too late for any rescue; he could kill Xu Yuan first and then take a defensive stand afterward.
However, just as he was contemplating this, the Sword Light, which was already traveling at a shocking speed, suddenly accelerated even further, like an arrow shot with double-layered strength.
But before his surprise could settle, the already astonishing flying sword erupted with a thunderous boom, and a wave of air burst forth from behind it, spreading out violently.
The Confucian-Mo Pavilion youth's eyes widened as he saw the flying sword's speed, which initially approached that of the late Core Formation stage, and after those two boosts, it faintly reached a velocity that could possibly compete with a Half-step Nascent Soul flying sword.
Then the current Weak Water had become a water that not even a feather could float upon, where even birds struggled to pass.
It would not let pass anything that tried to surmount it, just like her heart at this time.
Given the chance, she would pull Xu Yuan into the "water," to be forever by her side.
Clearly, after reflecting and with the aid of some profound, unseen force, Liu Ruoxue had developed a completely new understanding of her sword move.
Not only had her power increased, but the essence of the move had also undergone a fundamental transformation.
The Confucian-Mo Pavilion disciple certainly noticed this.
He hadn't been inexperienced in sparring with Sword Sect disciples, but none of their versions of Supreme Goodness, Weak Water had looked anything like this, no matter how their personal dispositions might have slightly altered the technique.
Once the illusory Sword Qi Lake solidified, the surrounding air almost visibly began to warp as if it were trying to drag the air down with it.
Without hesitation, the Confucian-Mo Pavilion disciple unleashed the Vast Righteous Palm again.
This time, the Palm Imprint blotted out the sky, seemingly pushing aside the entire Sword Qi Lake.
However, he soon saw his mightily forceful Vast Righteous Palm, upon hitting the Supreme Goodness Weak Water, begin to slow as if mired in a swamp, its power steadily being lost, and the Spiritual Power within his Dantian experienced a bizarre sinking sensation.
By the time the palm reached Liu Ruoxue, she sliced it apart with a mere flick of her sword.
"How could this be?"
The Confucian-Mo Pavilion youth's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He was familiar with almost all the prominent Core Formation period disciples in the Sword Sect, yet none of their sword techniques were as bizarre as hers.
Moreover, her combat prowess was surprisingly formidable; her cultivation at only the middle stage of Core Formation seemed to rival his own Great Perfection.
