"Clatter!" A short sword was casually slapped away by the ancestor's spirit. But Yan Li was nowhere to be seen. Qin Yiqiu immediately shouted, "Oh no!". The cold current that came down from the sky was like the Nine Serenities hanging upside down. His scalp felt like it was about to explode. It became a strong warning sign.
Qin Yiqiu looked up instinctively. His pupils instantly reflected an almost transparent yet cold sword, as well as the green lotuses on the path of the sword.
It was impossible that the Grand Council did not investigate Yan Li's background. Although the Grand Council's information network in Yongling was relatively weak, the secrets that Yan Li did not purposely hide were naturally easy to obtain.
For example, he did not suffer from the side effects of the Heart Cleansing Mantra, and used this mantra to continuously challenge those of a higher level. No one knew what tricks he used to obtain Su Yu's Green Lotus Sword Song, and he had already mastered the first two forms.
Yan Li had not used the third and fourth forms yet. It was speculated that he had not mastered the last two forms yet.
Knowing oneself and one's enemy was the key to victory. The Grand Council agreed to the bet because they were confident of winning. Even Qin Yiqiu himself did not think that he would lose to Yan Li after understanding all this.
As expected, after a few rounds of fighting, he realized that Yan Li could not threaten him no matter what. Naturally, he became more relaxed.
However, at this moment, when Li Ya pierced through the air, he suddenly realized that he was in a subtle dangerous situation.
This sword was the first form of Green Lotus: Green Lotus Born in Chaotic World.
This form was the original form of the Green Lotus Sword Song. It was also the only form in the incomplete manual. There was nothing special about it. The principle was to maximize the use of vitality to increase the power of the sword. The moment it hit the enemy, it would explode in the enemy's body and cause great damage to the enemy.
Even so, without the support of the Hidden Sword Incantation, it was impossible for Yan Li to break through the Ancestral Spirit level with his own strength. That was an Ancestral Spirit that could even threaten a cultivator of the Cultivation Realm. The two of them were not even on the same level. Only the Hidden Sword Incantation's "An eye for an eye" could threaten the Ancestral Spirit and hurt Qin Yiqiu.
Qin Yiqiu felt a subtle sense of danger, but his instincts told him that the ancestral spirit could not block Yan Li's attack.
Why couldn't he block it?
Because of the power of death hatred.
Behind the glaring cold light was a face that seemed to have been carved by a top-notch craftsman. On the glabella of that face, a demonic sigil slowly formed. Even his gaze became extremely demonic, as if it was hiding the cold smile of a devil. While it was terrifying, it also made people want to explore it.
On the night of the incident at the Silver Moon Villa, the city-wide sword chime caused by Yan Li, as well as the strange Death Grudge power, had already been thoroughly investigated.
Qin Yiqiu knew that Yan Li had the Death Grudge power, and he also knew that he could not use it easily. Otherwise, he would lose control like that night, and his real name would be exposed.
As for Yan Li's real name, because he was a first-grade sword master, no one knew the details of a first-grade sword master. Currently, what was known was that Yan Li's cultivation technique was unique. He mastered the Heart Cleansing Mantra in one night, which was unimaginable in the eyes of others. The more profound the technique, the harder it was to cultivate. For a technique like the Heart Cleansing Mantra, it was impossible to master it in one go. Therefore, it was undeniable that Yan Li's uniqueness was attributed to his first-grade true name.
Currently, all the forces were still observing Yan Li, so they did not make any moves. Of course, they also wanted to capture Yan Li and bring him back for "analysis". However, the problem was that this was a sensitive period. Moreover, he was a sensitive person, and there was an extremely sensitive bet. All these factors added together made them not dare to act rashly.
Not to mention, behind Yan Li stood Yanshan Robber. He was not a pushover.
From Yanshan Robber's ruckus in Yongling, it could be seen how much they valued Yan Li. No one wanted to be the first to make an enemy of a rising force.
Yan Li's sudden all-out attack completely disrupted Qin Yiqiu's rhythm.
Of course, Qin Yiqiu did not know that Yan Li only had the power for one attack. This was the only thing that Yan Li hid very well. Even a smart lady like Tang Sanghua did not notice this secret.
Others might not know what the Death Grudge power was, but the Qin Family, who had always been with the "dead souls", knew it very well. To be precise, the Death Grudge power was also a "dead soul". It was the resentment left behind by the dead. The Qin Family's ancestral spirit, on the other hand, was the wish. This was the only difference between the two.
Therefore, the Death Grudge power might not even be able to shake the ancestral spirit, but the Death Grudge power, which was of the same origin, could really hurt the ancestral spirit.
Qin Yiqiu knew that even if he used the ancestral spirit to resist, he might not be able to, but Yan Li would definitely die as long as he was determined to give up everything. However, did he have the determination?
Yan Li was not someone he had to kill. He did not have the determination.
Yan Li saw this weakness in Qin Yiqiu's heart and launched a sharp attack. Attacking the enemy's weakness was also a profound skill.
Qin Yiqiu did not have the time to admire Yan Li's sharp observation skills. He had to make a choice at this delicate moment.
At this moment, there was no time for him to think. The green flames that belonged to the ancestral spirit suddenly disappeared completely.
The people from the Grand Council exclaimed, "Young Lord, you can't!"
To them, it was understandable that the Young Master loved the Ancestral Spirit. However, he could not put himself in danger because of this. It must be known that the Ancestral Spirit served the family. Although they were seniors, they were willing to sacrifice their own Soul Fire for the sake of helping the younger generation achieve more glory and achievements.
However, the outcome was already set in stone. Qin Yiqiu retracted his Ancestral Spirit in an instant, but for the first time, his eyes shone with sharpness. In a low voice, he said, "I would like to fight Brother Yan head-on as well. Brother Yan's action suits me perfectly!"
His gaze was incomparably sharp, not much inferior to Li Ya's. Accompanied by the flickering of a dim light, he simultaneously made a motion to draw his sword.
Clang!
He bent his knees and shot up into the sky like an arrow. He was holding a real sword in his hand.
The momentum of the sword was like a rainbow, like an unparalleled thunder. It was accompanied by green lotuses. It was also the "Green Lotus Born in the City of Chaos".
"The Meditation Heart Formula?" The people from the College gasped. In just an instant, he had completely replicated Yan Li's sword momentum?
In a head-on fight with the same move, the outcome depended on the amount of vitality and the degree of concentration.
The problem was, could a martial artist and a martial artist be compared?
However, at that moment, Yan Li's lips curled into a cold and merciless smile. In mid-air, he did not change his stance, but the Li Ya in his hand returned to its scabbard.
"He changed his move now?" The people below the stage could not help but exclaim. Even Qu Youfeng could not help but be surprised.
In a fight between masters, the fight would only last for an instant. If it was a feint and deceived the opponent, it was natural for him to change his move. However, the problem was that Yan Li's move was completely real. Otherwise, Qin Yiqiu would not have been able to replicate his sword momentum using the Meditation Heart Formula.
If he changed his move halfway, he would definitely suffer a backlash. Moreover, Qin Yiqiu's attack was already very close. It was a suicidal move.
At least in their eyes, Yan Li was completely suicidal.
However, they did not know Yan Li very well. When the move was formed, Yan Li had already mobilized the Hidden Sword in the chaotic world. If the ancestral spirit was the essence of the move, then the manifestation of the green lotus would be the essence of the dharma.
Once he had mastered the essence of the dharma, he would naturally be able to control it as he pleased. This was also what the first-class sword master had bestowed upon Su Fu, the unparalleled control of the sword formula.
In an instant, his mantra changed from the green lotus to the Hidden Sword.
