Liliya indeed used some clever tactics to kill the man with a ponytail. If it were a direct confrontation, Liliya wouldn't be his match.
Therefore, she initially chose to feign weakness, then struck with her Pupil Skill when the opponent let his guard down, catching him off guard.
Moreover, although the man with a ponytail was a Two-star Lord, his Soul Strength was rather weak; he barely qualified as a Two-star Lord. Liliya's Soul Strength was already extremely close to the level of a Two-star Lord, and with the amplification effect of her Pupil Skill, he was completely trapped in the Illusion Realm, unable to extricate himself.
In fact, even Liliya herself didn't expect to be able to kill him in one fell swoop.
Following Liliya, Elizabeth quickly resolved her opponent, utterly crushing them head-on to the astonishment of onlookers. Despite having a lower cultivation level, her fight felt like a Three-star Lord crushing a Two-star Lord.
