The storm that filled the sky was like a crumbling painting, indescribably shocking.
Stab down!
Stab down!
The hand holding the sword looked as steady as a boulder, but only Yan Li himself knew that he had used up all his remaining strength to lift the weightless Leave Cliff at this moment.
He couldn't even stab down. It was already a miracle that he could still stand.
Those three steps and three consecutive sword draws had pushed his swordsmanship to its peak. Until now, his mind was still blank. Everything that happened just now was still vivid in his mind, but he couldn't remember how he did it.
Stab down!
But the problem was that his fist force was broken. Although Qin Yiqiu used it with the help of his ancestor's spirit, he still suffered a significant backlash. He couldn't move at the moment, but Yan Li didn't even have the strength to kill someone who couldn't move.
After all, the backlash was only temporary. In the blink of an eye, Qin Yiqiu would be able to move again. By then …
Thinking of this, Yan Li was very unwilling. His vision was blocked by the sticky blood and became more and more blurry, reminding him that the pain was still there. The scene in front of him started to double, and his consciousness was on the verge of disappearing.
What should he do?
"Stop! We admit defeat! "A loud roar came from below the stage. It was Qin Guanyue.
Yan Li's mental struggle only lasted for a short moment. He didn't expect Qin Guanyue to admit defeat on behalf of Qin Yiqiu.
Qin Guanyue clearly saw that Qin Yiqiu couldn't move and was afraid that Yan Li would stab the Qin Family's star of hope to death. He immediately gave up and made a decision.
As soon as he shouted, he rushed up to the stage and retreated with Qin Yiqiu in his arms.
Yan Li's reaction was quick. He quickly put on a regretful expression, as if he had missed a golden opportunity. He sheathed his sword unwillingly.
"We won!" How could the audience know that there was something fishy going on? After the Grand Military Institution admitted defeat, the cheers and cheers of surprise turned into surging waves of sound. There were even some who cried tears of joy. It was probably because they had relatives in Bingzhou that they no longer had to be on tenterhooks.
Those who held grudges against Yan Li's identity as a bandit were now sincerely grateful to him; those who looked down on Yan Li were also slapped in the face and shut their mouths.
Everyone in the Academy had different thoughts. Ma Guanshan's expression was a little complicated. "I didn't expect that he would actually win."
In other words, he didn't think highly of Yan Li from the very beginning. No matter how strange Yan Li was, the gap between their cultivations was obvious.
Qu Youfeng was even more disappointed in Yan Li after he failed to cultivate the Hidden Sword Secret Art. Who would have thought that this would be the result?
"He actually let Qin Yiqiu go?"
As the person who knew Yan Li the best, Tang Sanghua was suspicious.
The blink of an eye was enough to kill Qin Yiqiu. Qin Guanyue didn't even have time to speak. Based on her understanding of Yan Li, he definitely didn't suddenly become merciful. Even she, who had been through life and death with him, killed him without hesitation. How could he let Qin Yiqiu go?
Thinking of this, she smiled. "Don't tell me that he doesn't have the strength to kill anymore?"
Of course, Yan Li didn't know that she had guessed correctly. At this moment, he just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep. He wouldn't care even if the sky fell down.
After a formal conversation between the two academies, Qu Youfeng said plainly, "His Majesty has set up a banquet in the Ming Garden. Please be sure to come." With that, he turned and left.
The faces of the people from the Grand Council were very ugly. They had been in Yongling for more than three months, but they had never been entertained once. This invitation was nothing more than a show of force. As the losing party, they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
After a simple treatment at the Imperial Academy of Medicine, Yan Li rejected Lianhai Changjin and the others' invitation for a drink and returned to his residence. As the "heroes", of course, they had to attend the banquet. However, it was still early, so they should celebrate first. Since the main character didn't attend, the rest of the people dispersed.
After a short rest, Yan Li went to the Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu again. He knew that Shen Liuyun had paid a huge price to save him, but he didn't know what the price was. He was worried and wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"Lord Shen is in seclusion. Anyone who trespasses will be killed!" Two fierce-looking men with knives blocked the entrance like two huge rocks. Their armors were decorated with a peach blossom. He didn't know where they came from.
"She's in seclusion at this time?" Yan Li was suspicious. But one thing was certain. She didn't care about winning or losing. She said that she saved him for "peace", but this must be a cover up.
After a long silence, Yan Li said softly, "Brothers, please pass a message to her. Tell her that I didn't let her down."
After leaving the Academy, he casually strolled a few times on the street. After confirming that no one was following him, he went to Yanping Gate.
There was a stronghold of the Wild Fox Battalion in Yanping Gate. On the surface, they raised pigeons for a living. It was a family of a young couple and an old man. It was not eye-catching in Yongling.
Yan Li pinched the door knocker and knocked slowly three times, then three times hurriedly, and finally two times slowly.
The door opened with a squeak, and a shrewd and unscrupulous face popped out. Seeing that it was Yan Li, he quickly let him in.
"Subordinate Yuan Lu greets Lord."
In Yanshan Robber, there were only three senior commanders and twelve junior commanders who knew that he was the Dragonslayer Yan.
Yan Li waved his hand and said, "You are Yuan Lu?"
The man closed the door and replied respectfully, "Yes! I used to work under Lord Yuan Chengxi. After I took over Lord Yuan's duties, I never slacked off. "
He knew very well that Yuan Chengxi could escape unscathed because of this Lord in front of him. How could he dare to be presumptuous?
"Mm, go get a pen and paper," Yan Li said noncommittally.
Yuan Lu responded and immediately went to the inner room to get a pen and paper. The ink had already been ground. After all, he had to send a message to Lonely Moon Tower at any time.
Without thinking, Yan Li wrote a few words. It was obvious that he had already thought about what he was going to write before he came.
In fact, when he first came here and sent a message to Lonely Moon Tower for help, he had already thought about this day.
He rolled up the paper and handed it to Yuan Lu. "Give it to Yan Wushuang today. Contact the men of sacrifice to assist in the operation!"
Many forces liked to raise men of sacrifice. Yanshan Robber also had such a group of people who were responsible for some specific tasks. Of course, with Yan Li's financial situation, raising ten or twenty men of sacrifice was already his limit. Who asked him to be so poor? This time, in exchange for the Hidden Sword Secrets, he had lost all his money. He was a complete pauper.
"Yes, Lord!"
Yuan Lu received it respectfully and immediately went to do it.
