Making use of this chance, Ye Jiao quickly dashed forward. Her dagger was aimed straight to Su Lian's stomach as she pierced deep inside. The curve on her dagger only made the wound worse as the wound was not a straight one.

Jleb!

"You-!"

Bang!

Using her fist, Su Lian hit Ye Jiao to push her back. Ye Jiao managed to pull her dagger back in time and defended against it, but the force alone was enough to send her to the back. Hitting a nearby tree, Ye Jiao felt her back was crushed by the force.

'Her strength is insane.'

Ye Jiao stabilized herself once more. Her eyes turned to the side as a smile emerged on the corner of her lips. Finally, Wei Liao had done his part.

While Ye Jiao was fighting against Wei Cheng and Su Lian, Wei Liao was fighting against Wei Mi with all of his power. He was unable to contend against her normally because the two of them used the same type of technique and has similar strength. Their clash turned into a tie.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"You won't be able to defeat me, B*stard!" Wei Mi cursed out with hatred inside her eyes. Seeing someone who used to favor her and always stood beneath her facing against her in equal ground only made her mood soured.

Using the technique that she had learned, she twisted her body and slammed her arm to Wei Liao's direction. The sword on her hand was rus.h.i.+ng to Wei Liao, attempting to take his life.

Clang!

Wei Liao put his sword on top of his head, defending himself. His eyes were looking at Wei Mi with both hatred and anger. This girl always tried to use him to the point that it made him sick. Even when Su Lian wanted to take his core, she helped him without remorse, acting as if it was natural for him to be sacrificed for their use.

He hated them for it.

Pus.h.i.+ng Wei Mi back, Wei Liao charged against the young lady once more. The difference between those who had formed their core and hadn't would be clear in a fight. However, Wei Mi hadn't formed her core for long.

She was unable to sense the difference in power that she wielded, making her no different than a normal kid who hadn't formed their core.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two of them were immersed in their own battle. Wei Liao's attack grew fiercer as he attempted to wound the young lady several times. Using the block that Wei Mi was proficient in, she was able to stop every attack that Wei Liao gave her.

"Do you really think that you can defeat me? I'm far better than you in these techniques!"

Clang!

Wei Liao's eyes were cold. He had to admit that Wei Mi was far more talented than him in terms of martial arts. When he saw this young girl trained before, he could see that she grasped the movements very quickly. It was to the point that even the instructor praised her to no end.

But….

"So what?" Wei Liao swung his sword, pus.h.i.+ng Wei Mi back. His eyes glinted with hatred. "You might be far more talented, but you always use them to make fun of others who have lesser talent. You're not worthy of that talent!"

Wei Mi's expression turned blue in anger. "Not worthy? You're not one to talk when you're just weaker and less talented than me!"

Clang!

Her sword swung with great strength, nearly hitting Wei Liao's neck. The boy's eyes glinted once more as he pushed her sword back and swung his own to attack Wei Mi, meeting with her blade too.

"I might be of lower talent, but that just meant I just have to train harder than you to be able to defeat you!"

Pus.h.i.+ng his body to the limit, Wei Liao attacked Wei Mi even faster and more forceful. Recalling his bitter training just to get to this day, his spirit was fueled up even further as he continued to move his body. More and more.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Wei Mi started to get overwhelmed as their blades continued to clash. Her speed faltered and it was at that time Wei Liao's sword reached her shoulder.

Slas.h.!.+

"You-!" Wei Mi quickly swung her sword to push him away, but as if Wei Liao had predicted her move, he quickly moved in the other direction and stabbed his sword to the location of Wei Mi's abdomen. To be precise, the location of her core.

Crack!

The sound of something shattered inside her body caused Wei Mi's heart to fall to the lowest bottom. Her eyes were filled with despair as she swung her sword, yet at the same time, Wei Liao also pulled his sword back.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Eon Energy ran out of her body rapidly. Wei Mi's heart was filled with despair as she put her hand to cover her abdomen, trying to prevent the Eon Energy from leaking out. She was still unable to control her body too well, making her find it hard to stop the movements of the Eon Energy.

"No! NO! NO!"

Wei Liao dashed forward once again to Wei Mi's back. He swung his sword to the direction of her abdomen, revealing the shattering core inside her stomach. Stretching out his hand, he pulled it out forcefully.

The girl was surprised at the movements to the point that she was unable to respond in time. By the time she realized what had happened, the core was taken out of her abdomen.

"What are you-?"

Wei Mi was alarmed. The sight of Wei Liao taking out the core out of her body and grabbing it in his palm was extremely familiar. She had seen it by herself when her mother took his core around a year before.

Looking at the young girl before her, Wei Liao's eyes flashed with ruthless. "This is the payback for what you did, Wei Mi."

Crus.h.!.+

In one movement, he exerted strength and crushed the core in his palm to smithereens.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
