The two talked for a long time, and Pei Xuanjing’s True Qi had almost recovered. Li Yuzhen suggested, “Brother Pei, why don’t we have a hand-to-hand tryout?”
“Sure!” Pei Xuanjing nodded with a smile.
Li Yuzhen flashed a charming smile, transforming her whole demeanor. Her True Qi circulated within her, her skin porcelain white like jade, and the air around her turned abruptly cold. A white mist-like chill was emanating from her.
The skill she was cultivating was not the martial study that had been passed down in her Li family from Longxi, but the martial study from a sect established by women a thousand years ago.
This was the advantage of being born into a significant force. After Li Yuzhen displayed her outstanding cultivation talent in her childhood, her family spared no effort in acquiring for her the “Mingyu Skill,” an absolute art that could be determined.
Ming represents the Sun and the Moon, and Yu signifies the essence of Heaven and Earth. One could achieve the “Mingyu” by taking nature’s resource and extracting the essence of the Sun and the Moon.
This was the highest Intrinsic Absurd Heart Method with divine potency, whose extraordinary essence is both magical and capable of staying youthful and ageless.
She did not use the divine weapon, the treasure sword at her waist, but somehow, she wore a pair of gold silk gloves on her hands, and with an invisible force driven by her palms, she aimed at Pei
Xuanjing.
As he watched Li Yuzhen strike, Pei Xuanjing took it seriously.
As he expected, his opponent was in the fourth-grade martial artist realm.
Pei Xuanjing only felt that everywhere he looked was Li Yuzhen’s palm shadows; he couldn’t distinguish which one was real and which one was fake.
If he couldn’t differentiate, fortunately, he didn’t try to.
His long sword came out of the scabbard in his hand with a dazzling light, dividing into countless sword illusions, and met the palm shadows.
Li Yuzhen moved quickly, surrounded by an endless cold air, with numerous True Qi swirling around her.
Pei Xuanjing only carefully guarded the three feet in front of him; his long sword in hand slashed and chopped horizontally, and the sharp sword Qi enveloped his body, frequently pierced through the palm shadows, stabbing towards Li Yuzhen.
In a short time, the two of them have had several encounters.
One was a young genius who had created a semi-absolute art out of the humble beginnings, and the other was a girl favored by heaven, born with wealth, cultivating an extraordinary martial art. Now that they were up against each other, it seemed like a case of chess meeting counterpart, talent meeting equally talented.
The aftermath of their battle stirred up countless flying sands and walking stones; the surrounding trees were being cut down by palm shadows and sword Qi.
After about twenty rounds, Pei Xuanjing could clearly feel that his True Qi consumption was serious, while Li Yuzhen’s True Qi not only did not decrease, but rather showed signs of increasing.
‘Can’t drag on any longer,’ Pei Xuanjing thought in his heart, ‘If it continues like this, I will be exhausted sooner or later.’
“Miss Li, take this as my final move. If you can take this, I admit my defeat today,” said Pei Xuanjing.
Then, the sword move in his hand suddenly changed.
Supreme As Water!
This was the final move of the “Water Swordsmanship” he had cultivated.
In an instant, Li Yuzhen only felt that every strike she made was like hitting cotton.
Then, Pei Xuanjing turned his long sword, surprisingly turning the tide, returning all the force back to his opponent.
“Boom!”
Li Yuzhen barely managed to dodge this sword by turning aside.
The clouds of dust dissipated, leaving a trench several meters long and three feet deep on her side.
Pei Xuanjing retreated several feet, and backhandedly held the sword and made a fist, “Since Miss Li dodged this move, then I admit my defeat today.”
Looking at the trench left by the sword, Li Yuzhen also retracted the cold aura emanating from her Qi, shaking her head, “If Brother Pei hadn’t spared me at the last moment, I might not have been able to dodge that sword.”
She was clear that his last move had been deliberately biased, originally aiming at her, deliberately missing a little.
“It’s just a comparison, not a life-and-death battle,” shook his head Pei Xuanjing.
The two were merely exchanging blows, naturally, it wouldn’t be a life-for-life.
Besides, after receiving guidance from her, it would seem a bit ungrateful to hurt the other party now.
Li Yuzhen also laughed upon hearing this, “You’re right. It’s just a comparison. How about a tie today?”
“Alright!” Pei Xuanjing glanced at the treasure sword around her waist and nodded.
Both learned a lot from the exchange on that day.
Moreover, this exchange of blows had caused such a huge momentum that it was sure to attract some people.
To avoid trouble, Pei Xuanjing asked, “I am preparing to leave. I have no idea what Miss Li plans to do next.
Li Yuzhen understood his meaning and nodded in agreement, “If that’s the case, then we should part ways.”
Pei Xuanjing also agreed, “Thank you for today, Miss. If Miss ever needs me in the future, Pei Xuanjing will not refuse.”
“Brother Pei, let me see who will step into the third-grade first.” Li Yuzhen returned to her initial gallant appearance.
Pei Xuanjing nodded, “Then let’S wait and see.”
“Remember, you still owe me a promise.”
Li Yuzhen finished her sentence and stepped away without giving Pei Xuanjing the opportunity to respond. After a few more steps, she disappeared into the distance.
Seeing her resolutely going away, Pei Xuanjing did not retain. He just said to the direction she was leaving: “Alright.”
“I have to admit that these born-to-be genius from significant forces are really formidable,” Pei Xuanjing backtracked their hand -to-hand just now and shook his head.
Although it looked like he had an upper hand due to his sparing, his so-called tie with Li Yuzhen seemed like he had suffered a loss.
Actually not, it’s clear that when she was fighting against him, her treasure sword at her waist was never unsheathed.
And if he guessed right, the sword at Li Yuzhen’s waist, from a powerful force like the Li family from Longxi, was definitely a divine weapon refined a hundred times at the least.
If she had really used that divine weapon, he wouldn’t necessarily win.
Of course, Pei Xuanjing had the confidence that if the two were to fight life-and-death, even if she had the divine weapon in hand, the outcome would still be uncertain.
After all, in a martial artist’s battle, apart from personal realm, skills, martial arts, and weapons all become part of the combat power. Unless they really fight, who lives and who dies is not certain.
After separating from Li Yuzhen, Pei Xuanjing went again to the place where he had previously agreed with the Fu Lord’s men.
However, even with Li Yuzhen•s clue, this time he didn’t show any mercy to those who were blinded by greed and tried to trouble him.
He just didn’t go looking for trouble and following each fight, he spent a long time adjusting his mental state to avoid mindset being affected by the killings.
Half a month later, he finally arrived at the spot he had mentioned with the Fu Lord’s men.
Unexpectedly, not long after his arrival, he saw some of his own men being chased by a group of people. Those chasing them were from the Liu family , with Liu Ruilong, who had been defeated by his men, lea
Even though he didn’t know why the Liu family was here, when Pei Xuanjing saw the situation, he did not hesitate to rush over.
Just when Pei Xuanjing showed up, Liu Ruilong also spotted him.
The expression indeed is – the enemy’s presence makes the eyes glow red. Seeing Pei Xuanjing show up, Liu Ruilong led several people and charged towards Pei Xuanjing..
