The sword strike pulverised the dragon.
That was a lot of guessing. Afterall, she hasn’t faced one before. She could only hypothesise that the dragon would not be stronger than the damage it could deliver. Working on that basis, she only had to put in more strength than that to be on the safe side of the gamble.
It worked out nicely.
Just then another dragon is unleashed.
The quicker dragon leads the charge while its master trails closely after. The desire to overwhelm her is clear.
She might really be in a pickle…
That is if she stands and endures.
Yun An put both hands on the handle. She lowers her posture.
Crack!
Yun An disappeared with the noise, leaving behind lines of crevices on where she used to be.
Almost everyone was stunned. They lost sight of her. It’s understandable. Yun An spent her entire fight using a fraction of her strength to refrain from reopening her unhealed injuries. Naturally, everyone believed that was the extent of her power. The truth couldn’t be more different. She was conscious about her upper body since that is where most attacks had landed. However, her legs are mostly untouched. She can exert greater stress on those walkers without fear.
Thus, like watching a grasshopper, in one moment the insect was in front of their eyes. Then, poof! It was gone. Surprise always catches people off-guard be them the fighters in the ring or the audience on their seats.
Only those with great perception could follow Yun An to her new destination. She is right in front of the Iron Hand.
It was a trick she borrowed from Jia Hui. The sharp eyes among the onlookers witnessed Yun An crouched down to all four. The next moment, she is already in place for her next move.
The startled young man still manages to mount a counter-offence against the approaching blade. As expected of a trained disciple, his instinct kicked in when he needed it.

Despite his praise-worthy instinct, it is still necessary to point out that his instinct is only at the amateur-level. His reactive response was devoid of forethought, and, therefore, pushed him right into the trap Yun An had laid out.
Yun An had swung her blade with both hands. That was what his eyes in a split second saw. It was also the reason for why his body pulled all of its strength into the counter. To clarify, it is not a bad choice. However, a full-on attack will generate a large enough momentum to carry his centre of gravity forward. To interpret that, he is now in no position to recall the attack and defend himself.
It is then that Yun An let go off the sword. The remaining force will push it forward, but it will bounce off the qi skin of a disciple like him.
The attack isn’t from the sword. No. Yun An didn’t want to show her hand. Not just yet. She intended to use the sword as a distraction. From pulverising the qi dragon to show off the strength of her sword strike to using the sword with two hands in that feint, they were perfect to captivate her target’s attention.
Her opponent is out of position. Meanwhile, her hands are free and ready.
The boy could only glare at her while twisting his face. He is a fish on the chopping block. His heightened sense of perception is only here to capture the of his execution.
Yun An has her left hand on his right shoulder. Her other hand grabs his right waist.
Then the boy is gone from the ring.
Boom!
The loud impact is no different from an explosion. The commotion quickly pinpoints the young contestant on the wall far behind the last row of audience. His body, except for his limbs, was driven into the wall, cracking it in the process. The boy turns his gaze toward his foe who is now far away from him. A tear of frustration leaves his face as he loses consciousness.
Returning to the ring, every other contestant stopped dead on their track at the distant boom. That sound is a warning. Lo and behold! That is the fate of those who challenge Dong Yun An.
That sudden outcome certainly makes other contestants consider their end goal, just not the Wu clan’s boy. He had grossed the line with his transgression. He is unsure if this girl would let him off the hook for joining against her. Anyway, he went too deep to retreat now.
The two qi dragons, one was destroyed and one is heading toward the girl, are heavy investments. They cost more qi than qi blade and qi palms of Shadowless sect. He could only make six dragons in a fight. Seven is stretching it. Their ability to redirect and continue attacking for a prolonged period of time if not destroyed is the reason for their cost.
He spent more than one third of his qi. If he backs out, he is not confident he can deal with those behind. Those guys would take the chance to finish off the weakened enemy instead. Either he gets a good result in the fight against the Shadowless girl or he is out. There is no other scenario he can see.
Hence, he keeps his startling duration to minimum and resumes his assault.
