The Eldest Princess had her wrist chopped off after this third defeat. Fresh blood flowed continuously.
To ensure that Eldest Princess could "last" the remaining nine rounds, Ji Fengyan fed her a blood-replenishing elixir, before grinning at the Elders and waiting for the fourth round to begin.
But…
Including the first battle against Duan Muxi, the Elders had already suffered four consecutive defeats of their four most powerful practitioners.
They now held not the slightest bit of hope. In fact, they felt that Ji Fengyan was not offering them chances of winning, nor giving Eldest Princess any hope of survival—but just tormenting them.
If they had known that Ji Fengyan was so powerful, they would not have agreed to her betting game. It might have been better for the Eldest Princess to be directly executed, rather than snaring them in a bitter and hopeless struggle.
