"Profound Dao Sword!"
Ying Qianqian seemed to show a hint of excitement. With a point of her jade finger, a black and white sword light sliced through the Five Elements Net that Li Yunjing had woven, leaving it with a gaping hole.
"So pleased with yourself?"
Seeing Ying Qianqian’s expression, Li Yunjing’s face turned three shades grimmer.
He made another move. His mana divided, forming two whips of water and fire, which struck at Ying Qianqian continuously with a series of crackling sounds!
The tips of the whips were like vipers, lunging at Ying Qianqian’s throat and heart.
"Smoke Cloud Spirit Tower! Suppress the eight directions!"
Seeing herself on the brink of danger, Ying Qianqian’s crisp voice rang out again. A seven-colored bracelet on her jade wrist shimmered.
A small tower flew out in an instant.
In just a moment, with a thunderous crash, it suppressed the two snakes formed by Water and Fire United, shattering them layer by layer into streams of air.
The Smoke Cloud Spirit Tower suppressed Li Yunjing’s Divine Techniques. With a shudder in the air, it charged toward his main body with an unstoppable momentum!
The immense force was like a mountain, and Li Yunjing’s expression changed as his mana crumbled layer by layer.
"Earth Escape Technique!"
Without thinking, Li Yunjing rolled on the ground. With a rumble, the ground he was on was struck by the Smoke Cloud Spirit Tower, creating a giant pit three zhang deep!
Yet Li Yunjing’s figure flashed and emerged right behind Ying Qianqian!
With his palm lifted and mana surging to his hand, he struck heavily at Ying Qianqian’s back!
Originally, Li Yunjing thought that this strike would be impossible for Ying Qianqian to evade.
He had even purposely held back half his strength!
Yet just as he was about to hit her back, Ying Qianqian’s figure suddenly soared into the air. With a graceful spin in midair, she attacked Li Yunjing once more!
Li Yunjing was not surprised. He too had a Flying Talisman on him. Two streaks of light appeared under his feet, a force lifting him into the air!
In the Qi Cultivation Realm, one couldn’t fly with their own power alone!
But in the Cultivation Realm, there are many ways to make someone fly.
Whether with flying magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts, talismans, or arrays, if one wants to fly, there are always ways.
In this battle, most opponents wouldn’t choose to fly due to the disadvantages outweighing the benefits.
Now, seeing Ying Qianqian take flight, naturally, Li Yunjing was unwilling to fall behind and engaged her mid-air!
The two figures flickered continuously in the air until the Smoke Cloud Spirit Tower targeted Li Yunjing again, forcing him to the ground.
At the same time, the green light on Li Yunjing’s hand intensified as the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword appeared in his grasp!
Since Ying Qianqian was using spiritual artifacts, Li Yunjing was not about to hold back!
The Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword flew out with immense excitement, turning half the sky green, its sword aura stretching ten zhang long!
Seeing the dangerous situation, Ying Qianqian summoned the Smoke Cloud Spirit Tower back with a wave!
Ying Qianqian seemed very knowledgeable. Just seeing the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword, she knew her Smoke Cloud Spirit Tower was no match.
To prevent damage to her spiritual artifact, she had to call it back.
"Senior Brother Li, you have great skills! This is the first time I’ve seen such a powerful Outer Disciple!"
Mid-air, Ying Qianqian beamed, showing no sign of disappointment at being at a disadvantage.
"Haha! To be honest, I’ve seen many Outer Disciples, but I’ve never met one as skilled as you, Junior Sister. You don’t seem like an ordinary Outer Disciple."
Seeing Ying Qianqian refrain from attacking, Li Yunjing resisted the urge to strike with the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword.
This woman truly piqued Li Yunjing’s curiosity. He wanted to find out more about her background!
As for being an Outer Disciple?
Li Yunjing was now skeptical!
If all Outer Disciples were of this caliber, Li Yunjing might as well give up!
"Senior Brother Li, your mana is vigorous, your combat experience rich, and your will is resolute. I am very impressed!"
"From here on, our competition would be a mere contest of treasures, which goes against the spirit of the Outer Sect Tournament."
"This time, I concede. I hope we can meet again in the Inner Sect Grand Competition!"
Ying Qianqian spoke calmly, her tone as serene as flowing water, even admitting defeat with a grace that touched the heart.
Such composure made Li Yunjing nod inwardly. This woman was clearly extraordinary!
Li Yunjing was disappointed, however, that Ying Qianqian never revealed anything about her origins.
"Fine! I’ve heard the Inner Sect Grand Competition will begin in a few years? By then, I should qualify to participate! If there’s a chance, we can have another match!"
Li Yunjing readily agreed to Ying Qianqian’s challenge.
Having cultivated to this day, he had overcome all adversaries.
His invincible aura was forming, and he never backed down from a challenge!
Even facing an opponent as challenging as Ying Qianqian!
Li Yunjing feared nothing.
He would never choose to avoid a fight!
"Good! Until we meet again!"
In mid-air, Ying Qianqian gave Li Yunjing a deep look, then turned, flipped her wrist, and summoned a Golden-winged Eagle three zhang in size!
The fierce bird screeched as Ying Qianqian stepped onto its back.
Under everyone’s gaze, she gently patted the Golden-winged Eagle’s head. With a powerful flap of its gigantic wings, the eagle shot into the sky, causing ripples in the air and disappearing into the distance.
"A Tier Two Demon Beast!"
"It’s a Spirit Beast! What background does Senior Sister Ying have, to even possess such a spirit pet?"
"Why did she admit defeat? Summoning the Golden-winged Eagle, Li Yunjing might not have been able to withstand it!"
