Xiutong (Peerless Martial Spirit)

Xiutong (Strongest Beauty, Wang Xiutong, 王秀桐) was a devious member of a religious cultivation sect. She concealed her true power level, using it for evil. She appeared in Chinese manhua series Peerless Martial Spirit (绝世武魂) chapters 101, 112-3 (2019).
==Series Set-Up==
On the continent of Longmai, countless sects exist, and cultivation is the way of life. All conflicts are resolved in cultivation ceremonial battles. The strong can do anything they want while the weaklings are treated like trash. Youngster Chen Feng has an incomplete dan region, causing him to be unable to cultivate. He withstands countless sneers directed at him, until he obtains the mysterious dragon bloodline, giving him the means to slowly build power secretly and use it for good. 
==Character Story==
In the religious sect of Qian Yuan, the beautiful Xiutong is ranked 18th in the cultivation tournaments rookie list. She conceals elevated cultivation powers from her sect, surreptitiously using them, along with her beauty, to cheat in life and death stage battles and conduct evil deeds. She is summoned by the vindictive Senior Brother Su Gang to take part in a devious plan... 
Su Gang wants to kill his rival in the cultivation arena, the heroic, but known weaker Chen Feng. He proposes that Xiutong lure Sister Han Yuer into an arena battle. The secretly more powerful Xiutong will then maim Han Yuer while her boyfriend Chen Feng watches helplessly. This will force Chen Feng in anger to challenge Su Gang. As payment, Xiutong seductively negotiates to be corruptly moved up the sect ranking list. She walks away smug, ready for battle. 
Feigning being a competitive equal, Xiutong baits Han Yuer into the cultivation battle arena. Xiutong quickly overpowers with chi-based energy, praising herself as “obviously superior”. Xiutong cruelly taunts Han Yuer while pummeling her. Han Yuer manages to get off one desperate energy whip strike to Xiutong’s face, gashing her forehead. Xiutong cannot believe she has actually been hurt and is enraged her beauty has been marred. She lunges at Han Yuer, now threatening to knock her unconscious then severely mutilate her.
Suddenly in the sky Chen Feng appears just in time to rescue Han Yuer, ordering Xiutong to stop. She scoffs at the ‘weakling’ Chen Feng, relishing the opportunity to maim Han Yuer while he watches. Like her though, he only pretends to be weaker. Chen Feng reigns lighting down on Xiutong, who in terrified disbelief is instantly overwhelmed. Chen Feng one-shot kills Xiutong with the lighting storm. 
The observing priests discuss the disgraced Xiutong’s non-protocol death as she still lay on the battlefield. The priests commend and level-up Chen Feng for the impressive one-move takedown, but also decide he must now fight the revealed plotter Su Gang. Xiutong is obstructing the combat zone, so Su Gang orders the woman be “thrown out”.
