Fengyang Palace.
When Yan Li came in, Ji Hyun-woon was playing with a jar of crickets. When he heard the footsteps, he turned around and raised his eyebrows. "Who let you in? How dare you barge into Xiao Wang's palace?"
"I thought you were cultivating, but you're just playing," Yan Li said.
Ji Hyun-woon said proudly, "Xiao Wang is talented. He doesn't need to cultivate at all, and his strength will increase by leaps and bounds. You can't be jealous of mortals."
"As if you're not a mortal." Yan Li rolled his eyes and walked over. He snatched the jar and looked at it. "I've eaten bigger and stronger ones."
"You even eat crickets?" Ji Hyun-woon's eyes widened.
"It tastes good. Try it." Yan Li smirked and grabbed the cricket, shoving it into her mouth.
"Get lost!" Ji Hyun-woon slapped his hand away. "What are you doing here? You'll be beheaded if you disturb Xiao Wang's fun!"
"I'm leaving," Yan Li said.
"Oh, really? Then get lost. Don't be an eyesore here." Ji Hyun-woon was startled and then raised his eyebrows.
"Then I'm leaving," Yan Li said and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Ji Hyun-woon suddenly stopped him and said maliciously, "Yan Li, we haven't had a good fight yet. Why don't we have a duel before you leave?"
"Let's do it then." Yan Li thought of something and took out a steel sword.
Ji Hyun-woon was excited and ordered his servants to clear the area.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two of them stood facing each other in an open space. Ji Hyun-woon said, "You don't have a suitable weapon now, so I won't bully you. I'll let you use only one hand."
"There's no need for that. A duel should be fought to one's heart's content. If you hold back, what's the point?" Yan Li said.
"Hmph, you sure talk big!"
Ji Hyun-woon crossed his fists, emitting an aurora of ice and fire. "Then be careful!" As soon as he finished speaking, his feet touched the ground and he pounced forward with the force of wind and thunder. Halfway through, he punched out with his left and right fists, sending out flames and frost.
The Cyan Steel Sword drew a flower in the air. Yan Li held the sword in a backhand grip and extinguished the flame. At the same time, he turned his grip forward and slashed.
The sword glowed with a cold light as it drew a long arc.
However, his expression changed slightly because the Sword Qi attached to the Cyan Steel Sword was suddenly frozen. It was as if the Cyan Steel Sword had sunk into a swamp, and it was extremely difficult for it to move.
"Yan Li, if you think that Xiao Wang only has explosive power, then you are gravely mistaken!" Ji Hyun-woon laughed coldly. He suddenly changed his left fist into a palm and pushed it out. A cold wave surged forward.
The cold wave brought with it a temperature that could freeze a person to death. Wherever it passed, ice flowers would form. The endless power of the palm crushed the ice flowers into powder. If one was hit by this attack, he would definitely die.
Who would have thought that other than the fierce Fire Fist, there would be such a soft and vicious Ice Palm?
At this moment, Yan Li's Cyan Steel Sword was trapped by the cold wave and could not move. It looked like it would soon be crushed into powder like the other ice flowers.
He suddenly let go of the sword hilt, channeled his Qi, and slapped hard with his palm.
An uncountable amount of True Qi flowed from his palm into the hilt of the Cyan Steel Sword.
How could the Cyan Steel Sword withstand Yan Li's True Qi? It immediately exploded into several pieces. With a sharp edge, the sword pierced through the cold wave.
However, the expected scene of the cold wave collapsing did not happen. Amidst Ji Hyun-woon's cold smile, the cold wave actually solidified again. It surged even more violently. Like a mountain torrent bursting through a dam, it flooded towards Yan Li.
Yan Li frowned slightly. He took a few steps back and took out another Cyan Steel Sword.
"Yan Li, do you want Xiao Wang to go easy on you with only one hand? It's not too late to change your mind now," Ji Hyun-woon said with a smile.
"If you are too proud of yourself, you might cry when you lose." Yan Li raised his eyebrows. As soon as he finished speaking, he got into the stance of "Luohou Sword Cries".
After calculating the endurance of the previous Cyan Steel Sword, he gathered the Astral Source energy within a radius of several zhang and injected it into the cold wave.
In the next moment, the cold wave collapsed. Ice fragments scattered in all directions.
The core of this stance had been destroyed. It could not be formed again.
Ji Hyun-woon was shocked. "What kind of stupid move is this!"
Yan Li brandished the sword and said calmly, "Your Ice Palm must have simulated the circulation of the meridians in the human body and built a self-sufficient model. I only destroyed its structure."
Ji Hyun-woon did not expect that the secret of his move would be exposed so quickly. He said unhappily, "Were you peeping at Xiao Wang's practice?"
"Do I have that much free time?" Yan Li sneered.
"Hmph!" Ji Hyun-woon said coldly. "The winner has only just begun!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she took two steps forward and leaped high into the air. Her fists collided, and a two-colored aurora of ice and fire burst forth. She raised her fists high above her head and smashed them down.
The two-colored aurora of ice and fire condensed into the shape of a hammer and came crashing down.
The attack of ice and fire alone was not scary. But once they were combined, their power multiplied.
Yan Li sheathed his sword to block the attack.
However, a normal steel sword could not withstand the Sword Concealment Spell. It could not even block the strong wind from the attack and was immediately broken into pieces. His body retreated rapidly. Along the way, he took out another steel sword and slashed out dozens of sword Qi. Only then did he manage to block the attack.
Ji Hyun-woon's move had only just begun. She dashed forward as soon as she landed. Taking advantage of Yan Li's unsteady footing, she got within three feet of him and punched out with both fists.
The fire fist was hard and fierce, while the ice fist was soft and gentle. The two extremely hard and soft forces interacted with each other. One moment, the fire fist was the king, and the next moment, the ice fist was the king. It was hard to defend against.
As one of the Five Great Ultimate Arts, the "Cave Spirit Scripture" was very powerful.
Yan Li retreated quickly as he waved the steel sword in his hand. He used the Wind Riding Sword on the left and the Thunder Riding Sword on the right. Every sword strike perfectly broke down Ji Hyun-woon's fist force. If there was even the slightest hesitation or mistake, the steel sword would immediately break, and his defense would naturally show a flaw.
The exquisite attack and defense had reached the fifteenth round.
Yan Li suddenly tripped on his heel and stumbled. The execution of his sword technique was immediately deviated. He was supposed to use the Thunder Riding Sword to restrain the opponent's soft fist force. However, because of this misjudgment, it became the Wind Riding Sword that could overcome a thousand catties with little effort.
Bang!
The steel sword immediately broke. Ji Hyun-woon smiled excitedly. She took advantage of Yan Li's flaw and immediately threw a fire fist at him.
Yan Li only had time to use both fists to block the attack. With a muffled "bang", he flew backward and hit a jade pillar.
The sound of the jade pillar cracking marked the end of this duel.
"You've lost." Ji Hyun-woon was extremely smug. He looked like a child who had stolen candy but no one knew.
"I've lost." A loss was a loss. Yan Li had nothing else to say.
Although a duel was different from a life and death battle, the outcome was the same.
"Seeing that you're quite straightforward, I'll return this to you." Ji Hyun-woon grinned as he took out a Cosmos Sack and tossed it over.
Yan Li caught it and frowned. "I've already taken the Tyrant's gift."
"This is yours." Ji Hyun-woon reminded him again.
Yan Li was stunned. He probed the sack with his consciousness and instantly smiled.
This Cosmos Sack should indeed be his because there was an Elemental Brilliance Stone inside.
