He even squeezed out the last remnants of his Dou Qi and forcibly used the technique One Sword Across the World once again.
This technique, claimed to be a killing move, directly tore through the Dou Qi armor, leaving a scar on the Da Dou Shi, but it was just a scratch, not inflicting much damage.
Following that, they were met with a fierce counterattack from the Da Dou Shi, leaving both him and Ruo Ling severely injured.
It wasn't that One Sword Across the World lacked power; it was just that his strength was too low. If he were a Dou Shi now, even if he couldn't kill the Da Dou Shi instantly, the power of One Sword Across the World alone could have at least severely injured him.
Instead, he lay on the ground in a sorry state, without any strength to retaliate.
"Step, step, step!" Footsteps echoed slowly as a middle-aged man in black walked toward Lu Yunxiao and Ruo Ling.
His expression was grim, a hint of ferocity in his eyes as he looked at Lu Yunxiao. With his formidable strength as a five-star Da Dou Shi, being injured by a six-star Dou Zhe was a disgrace for him.
"You little brat, why aren't you struggling? I'd like to see how you manage now."
The middle-aged man in black spoke in a cold tone, his face filled with a cruel and violent expression. He swore he would crush Lu Yunxiao's bones and skin him alive later. Only then could he relieve his deep-seated resentment.
"Yunxiao!" Watching the approaching man in black, Ruo Ling couldn't help but turn her head, her gaze falling on Lu Yunxiao, filled with regret.
"It's all because of the teacher's incompetence. I couldn't even protect my own student."
Ruo Ling looked weary, her moist eyes filled with sorrow.
If only she had died it would be fine. Now not only was she suffering, but she also dragged Lu Yunxiao, this genius, into misery. She felt extremely guilty.
"Teacher Ruo Ling, it's not your fault. He's a five-star Da Dou Shi, and you're only a two-star. It's normal not to be able to win. How could it be your fault?"
Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly, comforting her. His expression remained calm, his eyes bright, showing no signs of panic.
I knew the system's daily task wouldn't be that easy!
Lu Yunxiao sighed inwardly. The spatial ring emitted a light, and a jade pendant quietly fell into his hand.
As the man in black drew closer, Lu Yunxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. Gripping the jade pendant, he involuntarily tightened his grasp.
Closer, even closer!
Lu Yunxiao's eyes suddenly sharpened. In the instant, before the remaining trace of Dou Qi burst forth, he noticed three figures appearing in the sky not far away.
Seeing this, his grip on the jade pendant relaxed slightly, his narrowed eyes slowly widening. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"They've finally arrived!"

Peace Town!
This area falls under the jurisdiction of the Jia Nan Academy, distinctly different from the Black-Corner Region.
Order prevails in Peace Town, forbidding murder, robbery, or any misconduct. Everyone entering must register their names, origins, and take a special pill from the Jia Nan Academy's enforcement team.
These pills sense murderous intent. If anyone commits murder within Peace Town, the pills emit a warning, casting a red glow over the perpetrator's body, who then faces strict punishment from the Jia Nan Academy's enforcement team.
Given the chaos in the Black-Corner Region, many wicked individuals refuse to take these pills. There have been several who dared to intrude in Peace Town, yet without exception, they were all slain on the spot by the enforcement team.
To this day, a corpse, that of a Dou Huang expert who attempted to breach Peace Town, still hangs on a black tree at the entrance. It serves as a deterrent to those in the Black Corner Territory.
Undoubtedly, this deterrent is highly effective. Presently, Peace Town enjoys good security, and those daring to defy its rules have become increasingly scarce.
Inside a house in Peace Town, a figure in white robes sat cross-legged. Golden Dou Qi surged around him, causing his robes to flutter.
The figure's handprints changed, and his aura violently fluctuated, momentarily becoming intense and vigorous.
"Break!" Accompanied by a light shout, an invisible barrier seemed to shatter. Suddenly, Dou Qi surged, and the figure's aura seemed to enhance by another threefold.
"A Seven-Star Dou Zhe, finally breaking through." a voice murmured as the figure clad in white, opened his tightly shut eyes. A sharp glint shone in those eyes.
This figure in white naturally was Lu Yunxiao. After being saved by three Dou Wangs from Jia Nan Academy, they hurriedly made their way and are currently resting in Peace Town.
They wait for everyone's injuries to heal before heading together to Jia Nan Academy.
As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are interconnected. Though Lu Yunxiao suffered severe injuries that night, after a period of recuperation, his injuries were mostly healed, and he successfully made a breakthrough in his cultivation.
After such a battle, he gained some insights into swordplay as well. He planned to ponder over it when he had time.
"Besides cultivation, after this battle, I've gained some new understanding about the sword. I should take some time to contemplate it."
Lu Yunxiao muttered to himself before getting up from the bed. After so much cultivation, he was feeling a bit hungry and decided to find something to eat outside.
As Lu Yunxiao just got out of bed, a knocking sound came from the door. A soft, gentle voice came from outside.
"Yunxiao, it's me. Can I come in?"
"Teacher Ruo Ling?" Lu Yunxiao was startled and quickly took a couple of steps forward to open the door. Ruo Ling was standing there with a pleasant smile.
"Teacher Ruo Ling, why are you here?" Lu Yunxiao couldn't help asking softly.
"I noticed you hadn't gone out for lunch yet, so I brought you something to eat. By the way, how's your injury?" Ruo Ling asked gently.
"It's already healed. Thank you for your concern, teacher Ruo Ling. Please, come in." Lu Yunxiao quickly extended an invitation for Ruo Ling to come inside.
Ruo Ling smiled and stepped into the room, placing the tray she was carrying on the table.
Lu Yunxiao looked at Ruo Ling. At this moment, her complexion was rosy, her eyes bright. It was evident that her injuries had almost recovered, which put his mind at ease.
The healing pills from Jia Nan Academy were indeed effective; they had recovered from such serious injuries so quickly.
"Teacher Ruo Ling, please have a seat." Lu Yunxiao softly invited her.
Ruo Ling nodded and sat gently on the chair.
Lu Yunxiao also sat down, pulling the tray closer and picking up the chopsticks to start eating. He was genuinely feeling hungry now.
Ruo Ling supported her chin with her palm, smiling as she watched Lu Yunxiao eat.
He even squeezed out the last remnants of his Dou Qi and forcibly used the technique One Sword Across the World once again.
This technique, claimed to be a killing move, directly tore through the Dou Qi armor, leaving a scar on the Da Dou Shi, but it was just a scratch, not inflicting much damage.
