"Oh my god, luckily I dodged quickly. If I had been a little slower, I would have been seriously injured!"
"Keep your voice down. Look at those disciples ahead, pale-faced and some even spitting blood. The speed at which the impact spread was too fast for them to dodge."
"This battle is terrifying. From today onwards, my admiration goes to Bai Li Hong Zhuang instead of Shen Xiu Han. I feel like Bai Li Hong Zhuang is going to win this contest."
Many disciples stood in a disheveled state several thousand meters away, and some heavily injured ones were being carried back to their residences with the help of their senior brothers and sisters.
These injuries, if not properly treated and rested, could affect their future cultivation.
As for some lightly injured cultivators, they stubbornly remained in place, wanting to witness the final victor of this contest.
"Lord Xun, I'll trouble you with these injured disciples."
After Emperor Bei Chen glanced at the number of injured disciples, his gaze turned to Xun Yin.
The cultivation resources for disciples were always used sparingly, and now they were injured because of watching the Four Halls' competition. It was natural for Xun Yin to be responsible for their healing.
Upon hearing this, Xun Yin clasped his hands and said, "Rest assured, Young Master. I will handle this matter properly."
"Thank you, Lord Xun. You may take your leave now."
After speaking, Xun Yin led a group of disciples from the Pill Refining Hall back to their residence.
...
As the dust gradually settled, the entire competition platform, including the surrounding area, had turned into ruins!
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This was probably the most destructive battle in the competition between the Four Halls!
The protective barrier had shattered within a short period of time. Even the hall masters could only remind them in the first instance. It was evident how astonishing the power was.
However, when everyone looked towards the ruins, they didn't see the figures of Bai Li Hong Zhuang and Shen Xiu Han, leaving them stunned.
"Could they be buried underneath?"
People secretly speculated. Given the terrifying power displayed earlier, it was highly possible.
At this moment, a faint sound caught everyone's attention.
Soon, the noise grew louder, and a piece of debris was thrown aside, revealing the figure of Bai Li Hong Zhuang.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang slowly climbed out of the ruins. However, when everyone saw her disheveled appearance, their hearts were filled with shock.
Her hair was in disarray, and her once pristine face was now covered in dust.
Most importantly, fresh blood dripped from her body, quickly staining the stones beneath her feet.
Even from a distance, people could feel the weakness in Bai Li Hong Zhuang's aura.
Obviously, she had suffered severe injuries in this contest.
Then, another faint sound rang out, and everyone quickly turned their gaze towards its source, undoubtedly Shen Xiu Han.
Shen Xiu Han's figure slowly appeared, but he no longer had the strength to stand. He could only lie in the ruins, gasping for breath.
From his bulging veins and the strained expression on his face, it was clear that he was desperately trying to get up from the ruins, but in the end, he failed and could only struggle.
Witnessing this, everyone was dumbfounded. Shen Xiu Han, who usually held a lofty position, had now become such a sight!
