Chapter 48: Xuan Yuan True Method
Yu Youwei reacted a moment too late; although she avoided the fatal point of the sword, she still received a cut on her body, blood staining her clothes, the pain making her frown.
"You are too slow!"
Yi Qianmo quickly stepped back after landing a hit with his sword.
"Don’t get too proud!"
Yu Youwei lost her earlier calmness; her beautiful face was filled with anger as she swung her sword at Yi Qianmo.
But, just as Yi Qianmo said, Yu Youwei was too slow. After he unleashed the Wind Word Sword Technique, even though he was not as strong as Yu Youwei, his speed and swordplay far surpassed hers.
"You think too highly of yourself; it turns out you only have this much skill. I’m truly disappointed!"
He easily dodged Yu Youwei’s sharp strike, moved to her side, and thrust his sword forward. With a "swish," the sword sliced through her clothing, leaving another wound on her body.
The two sword wounds on her body were not fatal. For Yu Youwei, they were merely minor injuries, but the fact that she, at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, failed to suppress her opponent and was instead injured by Yi Qianmo felt rather frustrating.
Especially Yi Qianmo’s words sounded like needles poking her ears.
After dozens of failed strikes, Yu Youwei missed every time, but she reacted quickly, immediately giving up her attack and switching to defense.
Indeed, when Yi Qianmo attacked again, Yu Youwei, who was previously graceful, lost her earlier composure and was now firmly focused on defense, holding an absolute advantage in terms of skills.
As long as she did not attack, she would not show any weaknesses, and without any weaknesses, it was almost impossible for Yi Qianmo, who was at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, to break through her defenses.
"Yu Youwei has actually started to defend herself. She is at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and now she is defending against someone at the second level?"
However, the spectators were very surprised to see this scene; for them, it was something incredible.
Especially the cultivators of Xuanyuan Sect felt embarrassed at this moment, as Xuanyuan Sect is the leader of the four great sects, and they usually exude a stronger presence than other sects.
Not to mention facing an unaffiliated cultivator like Yi Qianmo.
If the fight were two against one or if the opponent’s skills were much higher, that would be understandable, but now the situation was one-on-one, which was even unfair to Yi Qianmo.
But now Yu Youwei had actually been injured, and after being hurt, she stopped attacking and switched to defense, which naturally made Xuanyuan Sect lose face.
"It seems she is preparing to exhaust her teacher’s spiritual power before launching a counterattack."
Su Muyu thought to herself that, although her skills were not very high, her understanding was deep, and she quickly saw what Yu Youwei wanted to do. She mocked, "As a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect and at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, your actions are really quite shameful!"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators of the Xuanyuan Sect looked very unhappy. The Xuanyuan Sect prided itself on being the true sect, practicing the righteous ways of heaven, and never stooped to using any tricks.
"Your Highness, this statement is rather unfair. This duel was initiated by him, and we did not force him."
"That’s right; skills cannot be changed. Should we really have to forcefully lower our level to ensure fairness?"
Several disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect could not stand it, and the rest of the disciples quickly agreed.
Su Muyu had nothing to say. Since Yi Qianmo chose this moment to seek revenge on Yu Youwei, he should bear any consequences himself.
If he did not foresee such an outcome, then he is the foolish one!
Of course, Su Muyu would never say such a thing. No matter what choice Yi Qianmo made, she would always stand firmly by his side.
Sure enough, once Yu Youwei went into passive defense, the situation changed immediately. Yi Qianmo’s attacks were no longer as smooth as before, and when he used the Wind Word Sword Technique, the consumption of spiritual power inside him was double that of a normal battle.
If this continues, it won’t take long for his spiritual power to be completely used up. Beads of sweat appeared on his face. Several times, after his attack, Yu Youwei countered and nearly hurt him.
"I admit I underestimated you!"
Once the situation changed, Yu Youwei’s face returned to her usual confidence. "If I were you, I would go to Tianyuan Academy, train hard until I was strong enough to seek revenge. Though I don’t think you could defeat me then, now is definitely the most foolish time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a new surge of spiritual power suddenly burst forth from Yu Youwei. This spiritual power was completely different from the one she had just used.
The spiritual power she had used earlier transformed into Frozen Sword Qi, and its nature was cold and gloomy.
But the spiritual power she unleashed now was like a blazing sun. When this cold spiritual power merged with the fiery spiritual power, they blended perfectly together, indistinguishable from each other.
The nature of the spiritual power changed from cold and fierce to rich and lasting.
"Clang!"
When Yi Qianmo attacked again, Yu Youwei met him with her sword. The two swords clashed, creating a sharp sound of metal striking metal.
Yi Qianmo’s sword almost slipped from his hand, the spiritual power attached to the sword instantly shattered, causing his body to tremble slightly. His blood surged, and he staggered back a few steps before steadying himself.
"This spiritual power… This is the Xuan Yuan True Method!"
Sensing Yu Youwei’s presence, Zhou Lanting’s eyes were filled with surprise. "The Xuan Yuan True Method in the Xuanyuan Sect can only be practiced by the sect master. Why can she cultivate it?"
Not just him, but the disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect present also looked astonished. They naturally knew what the Xuan Yuan True Method was, but they never expected that Yu Youwei, who had just joined for less than a month, could actually practice it!
"Are you familiar with it?"
Yu Youwei looked at him, her face full of mockery. "It is precisely because of your Nine Yang energy that I am able to combine yin and yang to cultivate this Xuan Yuan True Method. The intense spiritual power just now came from your Nine Yang energy!"
Yi Qianmo gripped his sword, his body trembling slightly. The anger he had suppressed for thirteen years erupted once more, "I told you, I will take back everything you took, without leaving a single piece behind!!"
"I also said, even if you become an immortal, I can still bring you back to the mortal realm!!"
Yu Youwei said.
"Clang clang clang!"
Yu Youwei moved quickly, and after using the Xuan Yuan True Method, her speed and strength were more than double what they were before. Although Yi Qianmo blocked her sword strike, the spiritual power within him was shaken, making it impossible to gather.
"Although Yi Qianmo’s performance is impressive, in front of the Xuan Yuan True Method, he is like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating his strengths!"
Seeing Yi Qianmo fall back step by step, the disciples of Xuanyuan Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing this was the power that Xuanyuan Sect disciples should have, and it was the scene they had expected.
"It’s over!"
Yu Youwei raised her sword high, gathering spiritual power onto it, shining with a blinding light. "Accept your fate!"
"Clang!"
The sharp sound made everyone present instinctively cover their ears, creating a huge wave of energy centered around Yi Qianmo’s body.
However, something surprising happened; Yi Qianmo’s sword did not leave his hand, and his eyes shone with a silvery light.
"Xuan Yuan True Method?"
Yi Qianmo lifted his head to look at her, holding a sword in his hand. Under Yu Youwei’s pressure, he slowly rose to his feet, his eyes revealing a chilling coldness. "Is this your final card?"
"This sword, even a regular seventh level Qi Refining Stage cultivator might not be able to block it, yet he can still stand up under the pressure!"
Seeing this scene, everyone present was astonished, even Zhou Lanting from the Foundation Establishment Stage looked surprised.
