As soon as he said this, everyone from the Military Council sneered in disdain.
Qin Yiqiu did not laugh. At least, he did not mock him. His attitude was calm as usual. "If this is fate."
"You believe in fate a lot," Yan Li said.
Qin Yiqiu said, "I believe that I am blessed by fate."
"For example, 100% compatibility with ancestral spirits?" Yan Li said.
Qin Yiqiu was surprised. "How did you know, Brother Yan? I have never told anyone about it. "Then he smiled." It doesn't matter if you know. It's not a big deal. "
It was not a big deal. His father, Qin Queyue, only had half of his compatibility with ancestral spirits and was able to stay on the Asura Ranking for many years. Although he was being humble, no one would doubt his words.
The sky and earth are everlasting. The reason why the sky and earth are everlasting is because they do not live on their own.
Modesty leads to losses. Qin Yiqiu was powerful because he did not think he was powerful.
His opponent was much more powerful than Yan Li had imagined.
"Let's begin," Yan Li said.
"Please."
"Please."
This time, it was no empty words.
Although the two did not move, the change in their auras was noticed by the cultivators below the stage.
Just as the audience was getting impatient, Yan Li finally moved. He, who was used to staying still, attacked first. It was unexpected.
If he could not find an opening, he would create one.
The second move of the Green Lotus was a sudden attack. He came to Qin Yiqiu's left side in the blink of an eye. Usually, this position was the most difficult to guard against. Yan Li was well-versed in the art of battle. Many of his moves were executed in the blink of an eye. He did not need to think at all.
Leaving Cliff stabbed at Qin Yiqiu's left rib.
Qin Yiqiu finally reacted. He clenched his left hand and a sword-shaped Treasure Artifact appeared in his hand.
This was the first time he took out a Treasure Artifact. However, with his abilities, he probably did not need to use it against Yan Li.
Yan Li, however, did not care about all this. The straight stab was just a feint. He suddenly twisted his body like an agile snake, and with a "clang" sound, the Leaving Cliff changed from a straight stab to an upward slash. The tip of the sword streaked across the air, leaving behind a silvery white arc.
The arc rose straight up Qin Yiqiu's abdomen. It was a vicious and merciless move, as if it was going to cut him open.
Qin Yiqiu smiled faintly. Somehow, his left hand moved, and the sword that was shaped like a Treasured Artifact, but it wasn't. Before it could materialize, Qin Yiqiu reached out.
Dang!
In other people's ears, it was just the sound of metal and stone colliding, but in Yan Li's ears, it was no less than a bolt from the blue.
First, an enormous force was transmitted into the sword. After the Heart Cleansing Mantra was activated, the enormous force that even Li Ya could not defend against suddenly attacked the hand that was holding the sword. The web between his thumb and forefinger split open and quickly extended, exploding into a beautiful flower of blood. Li Ya almost let go of his hand. His entire body was like a piece of rag as he flew backwards, landing heavily on the ground and rolling a few times before stopping.
Everyone could not help but stare with their mouths agape.
In the hearts of the Yong Ling citizens, this was a battle that represented peace. Yan Li, who represented hope, was beaten to the ground in a single exchange. They could not help but feel disappointed and angry.
"How could this be?" Tang Sanghua knew Yan Li's strength best. He could not help but be astonished.
Qu Youfeng frowned, but he did not comment on Yan Li's embarrassing performance. He only stared at the object in Qin Yiqiu's left hand.
"Brother Yan, I'm sorry," Qin Yiqiu said apologetically. "I have a reason to win this battle, so I had to give it my all. I have never hoped for a pointless battle. If Brother Yan can admit defeat, I will be eternally grateful. "
Yan Li lay on the ground and vomited two mouthfuls of blood before he could catch his breath. Then, he panted heavily and said slowly, "Did you not feel the call of fate?"
"Brother Yan, just admit defeat," Qin Yiqiu said sincerely.
Yan Li supported himself with his sword and struggled to stand up. He took a closer look at the object in Qin Yiqiu's hand and said, "Is this the ancestral soul?"
He did not notice it earlier. Now that he took a closer look, although it was not a sword, it was the essence of a sword.
What was the essence of a sword? It was a sword technique that gathered thousands of exquisite sword techniques. The technique itself was the essence of a sword.
In other words, the so-called ancestral soul in his hand was the sword techniques that his ancestors stole from others using the Meditation Heart Sutra and merged into one. Qin Yiqiu's 100% compatibility allowed him to completely control it without worrying about the backlash.
His strength had surpassed the concept of an ordinary person. Even a Cultivation Realm expert might not be able to win against him. Qu Youfeng saw this clearly, which was why he did not act up. Otherwise, he would have started cursing.
"Didn't you say that merging the ancestral soul requires some time to prepare?" Yan Li had already steadied himself.
Qin Yiqiu smiled. "That's because I had to treat this duel seriously. That's why I finished merging the ancestral soul while Brother Yan was gone."
Yan Li smiled. "Aren't you being shameless?"
"This is the guidance of fate," Qin Yiqiu corrected him seriously. "Even Brother Yan cannot defeat fate."
He waved the object in his hand. "The giant lightning is not unsheathed. If it's in its complete form, even a Cultivation Realm expert would not be able to block this attack. Brother Yan, just admit defeat."
The moment he said that, the audience was in an uproar. Although they were not cultivators, they knew the difference in realms between cultivators. In their eyes, a Cultivation Realm expert was like a god. What kind of opponent was Yan Li facing if he did not even care about a Cultivation Realm expert?
At this moment, the blame from before had turned into sympathy. As far as they knew, Yan Li was only a Rank Four martial artist. It was a great misfortune for him to be pushed to the front of the stage to face such a powerful opponent.
The people from the Military Council felt relieved. They looked at the people from the College provocatively.
The people from the College frowned. They did not expect such a situation.
The duel followed the style of the previous matches. It went straight to the climax. They did not even need to test each other.
Yan Li slowly sheathed the Leaving Cliff. He looked like he had accepted his fate. "You're right. I've always been dominated by fate. I can't break free or fight back. But … "
At this point, his tone changed. His expression was solemn as he said righteously, "His Majesty has high hopes for me. The people of Yongling have given me courage. So what if I'm dominated by fate? At this moment, I'm not fighting alone. I will never admit defeat. I will never bow down to war!"
His words made the audience's blood boil.
Of course, that was for those who did not know Yan Li. For people like Tang Sanghua, they were dumbfounded.
Ma Guanshan recalled that when Yan Li was chosen as the A1, he was just as impassioned. He could not help but exclaim, "Being thick-skinned is also a profound skill."
"Defeat him! Defeat him! Defeat him! "
"Yan Li, we support you!"
Regardless of how they felt, the hundreds of thousands of spectators around cheered. Their voices were like thunder, rolling like tides. It was as if a sound barrier had been erected around the martial arts arena. It was very terrifying.
