The moment the talisman left his hand, a circular rune erupted in a blinding flash. Countless rays of light solidified and shot toward Song Wanning.
Below the stage, the disciples were so shocked they had fallen silent. Song Wanning's move of snatching the lightning had completely stunned them.
The once-lively area around the battle stage became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stage.
At that moment, Song Wanning was blasted back by the rune. She struggled to right herself, soaring into mid-air and pointing her sword at Xu Mingyu.
The rune, meanwhile, stood erect in the very center, protecting Xu Mingyu from harm.
He clutched his shoulder and quickly swallowed an Elixir Pill. Although the bleeding stopped, his shoulder still ached terribly.
Xu Mingyu's face was pale, but a dark aura emanated from him. He was seething with rage.
His ultimate move had instead become his opponent's advantage. The sheer frustration was enough to kill him!
