Blame The Villain For Being Too Beautiful

led previously unseen equipment once again, including a magical mirror that was a rare sight.
This mirror had the ability to attack the opponent’s eyes, and Zhao Wuyou’s adversary fell prey to this tactic.
The young man, who was exceptionally skilled, left the stage with swollen and teary eyes, looking extremely disheveled.

A senior cultivator on the side sighed, as the young man injured by the mirror had already suffered damage to both body and soul.

Unexpected injuries and deaths were sure to occur during the competition.
Before going on stage, everyone would sign a life-or-death contract.
However, as fellow members of the Immortal Sect, cultivators usually regarded sparring as stopping once the point was made.
Even if someone got hurt, it was mostly unintentional.

But Zhao Wuyou clearly seemed to have done it deliberately:

After winning, there was a moment of silence in the stands.
It wasn’t until Zhao Lin led the applause that there was a smattering of clapping.

With a cold sneer, Zhao Wuyou leaped off the competition platform and glared resentfully at Song Xu Yi, who stood beside it.

However, Song Xu Yi paid her no attention.

Despite having just barely won a grueling match, Song Xu Yi pushed himself to watch Zhao Wuyou’s fight before sitting down beside her and closing his eyes to recuperate.

’

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuyou locked eyes with Ning Jing Yu.

Although Ning Jing Yu’s gaze appeared as calm as ever, perhaps due to Zhao Wuyou’s heightened concern for her, she was able to detect the underlying killing intent in her seemingly placid eyes.

Peak Master Ning typically disregarded Zhao Wuyou and never bothered to look her way.
However, now she was giving her attention because of Song Xu Yi.

Zhao Wuyou was taken aback, and a flood of sadness and resentment washed over her once again, causing her nails to dig fiercely into her palm.

Her mother had promised that if she incapacitated Song Xuyi during the competition, she would become Peak Master Ning’s disciple.
However, in that moment, Zhao Wuyou changed her mind.
Disabling Song Xu Yi seemed unfeasible, and as long as she was around, Peak Master Ning would never notice her.
Killing Song Xu Yi was the only way to get Peak Master Ning’s attention…

Song Xu Yi was unaware of Zhao Wuyou’s thoughts.

However, she suspected that she was already a nuisance to Zhao Wuyou.
Nevertheless, Zhao Wuyou’s mirror was tricky and could easily injure the eyes.
Since cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage had not yet reached the level of observing with their divine consciousness, if their eyes were injured, it would be difficult to continue the fight.

The finals were scheduled to take place in three days.
During this time, what actions could she take?

Song Xu Yi tightened her lips as she watched Ning Jingyu’s figure.
Suddenly, an idea flashed across her mind.

After a while, the three days had passed.

Zhao Wuyou gazed at Song Xu Yi, who was waiting stoically on the other side of the competition platform, and grinned with satisfaction.

She had intentionally revealed her mirror magic treasure ahead of time, so that Song Xu Yi could experience the terror and despair of feeling helpless and anxious for the past three days.

It didn’t matter how skilled Song Xu Yi was with her body techniques, as she was about to die soon anyway.

“Since you’re so young,” Zhao Wuyou played with the mirror in her hand, growing increasingly pleased with herself, and raised her chin arrogantly to glance at Song Xu Yi.
“I’ll let you make the first move!”

“Certainly,” Song Xu Yi replied without hesitation, taking a couple of steps back and pulling something out of her sleeve.

’

After seeing what Song Xu Yi had retrieved, Zhao Wuyou furrowed her brow slightly.
She had assumed it was some important magic treasure, but she saw Song Xuyi cover her eyes with a strip of cloth and immediately launch an attack with her sword!

Is she out of her mind?

Zhao Wuyou was taken aback and then felt a strong sense of indignation.
How dare Song Xu Yi think she could defeat her with her eyes covered? She clearly had no idea how powerful Zhao Wuyou was.

Fuming with anger, Zhao Wuyou threw aside the mirror and launched an attack.

Even with the cloth covering her eyes, Song Xu Yi was not someone to be underestimated.
Although the mirror was no longer effective, Zhao Wuyou believed that she could still defeat her opponent.

As expected, Song Xu Yi’s strength had indeed diminished significantly with her eyes covered.
However, during the fight, Zhao Wuyou felt an increasingly noticeable sense of being overpowered.
Although Song Xuyi’s sword movements were slower, she seemed to have an uncanny ability to anticipate Zhao Wuyou’s every move…

While Zhao Wuyou continued fighting, her mind became increasingly disturbed.
What could be causing this?

However, Zhao Wuyou was unaware that over the past three days, Song Xu Yi had been practicing with Ning Jingyu, who was acting as Zhao Wuyou.
After all, cultivators like Ning Jing Yu, having watched Zhao Wuyou fight once, could almost perfectly comprehend her combat style and deduce all of her moves.

The more Song Xu Yi fought, the more she adapted.
Her moves became increasingly swift, and Zhao Wuyou began to fall behind.

Her anxiety grew stronger.

She could sense Ning Jing Yu’s eyes on the arena.
If Zhao Wuyou had a choice, she would rather die than lose in front of her.

Despite her efforts, Zhao Wuyou found herself in an increasingly disadvantageous situation as Song Xu Yi’s attacks became almost impenetrable.
She was forced to take two more steps back as she saw Song Xu Yi’s white sword sweeping toward her.

As she looked at Song Xu Yi, whose eyes were covered with a cloth and whose lips were the only thing visible, resentment flooded Zhao Wuyou’s mind and clouded her judgment completely.

Driven by anger, Zhao Wuyou forgot her mother’s secret instructions and, taking advantage of the moment she was dodging, drew a hidden needle tube from her hand.

“Die!” she shouted, as countless poisoned needles as fine as wool flew out of the tube and densely shot towards Song Xu Yi…
