"Green Lotus …"
His consciousness was close to being blurry, but the moves that he was practicing in his mind were meticulously displayed.
But different from the practice in his mind, in the real world, something unexpected happened to Yan Li.
In the center of the blood qi, where Yan Li was, a bright green light suddenly burst out.
The light seemed to have the effect of clearing the mind, and he felt that the dirt in his heart was also swept away.
Then, with an unstoppable momentum, he destroyed all the blood energy on the arena.
This phenomenon made the spectators below stunned on the spot.
Zhang Zhixiong's pupils suddenly shrank. He did not expect Yan Li to have such a trump card, and he did not expect that this trump card could restrain the Waning Moon Saber.
When the blood qi was destroyed, the advantage of the first move of Waning Moon was gone.
However, the Green Lotus had its limitations. Although it could restrain the dirt, it could not break the unique skill.
Yan Li's consciousness was weak like a candle in the wind. When he was affected by the Green Lotus, he almost cut off the circulation of his Yuan Qi when he passed the sword.
This mistake was the same as the characteristics of the Green Lotus. No one could have expected it.
"Die!" Zhang Zhixiong roared. The first move of Waning Moon, with an unstoppable anger, was like a waning moon that was about to disappear, burning because it was unwilling to disappear, and angrily chopped at Yan Li.
The blade was near, and between life and death, Yan Li suddenly quivered, and his consciousness completely recovered. He continued to pass the sword.
The confrontation between the two only lasted for a moment.
The tip of the sword hit the blade. Because the unique skill caused the Yuan Qi to be abnormal, it became a collision between the raging fire and the green light.
All the spectators were dumbfounded. At the stage where Yuan Qi could not be released, the collision of the unique skill produced a phenomenon comparable to that of a first-grade martial artist. The strength of the two was thus revealed in front of the audience without reservation.
The raging fire twisted and deformed. One moment it was the shape of a blade, and the next moment it was the waning moon that was unwilling to disappear.
The lotus petals bloomed from time to time, but they were swallowed by the raging fire and could not condense.
In the battle between unique skills, apart from the characteristics of the unique skill itself, another factor was the cultivator himself.
How much Primordial Qi a cultivator had and how long he could last became the key to a stalemate.
However, although Zhang Zhixiong had consumed a lot of Primordial Qi, as a Peak Level Four, his Primordial Qi was more than twice that of Yan Li.
Therefore, when the green light couldn't hold on any longer, the raging fire became even hotter, reflecting Zhang Zhixiong's sinister face, as if he had already sent his opponent to the end of the road.
At least, in the eyes of the audience, although many of them felt sorry for Yan Li, they still thought that there was nothing he could do. Of course, the curses from before had turned into admiration. A Rank-5 against a Rank-4. The outburst at the crucial moment was so breathtaking. Not only did it widen their horizons, but it also opened the door to a whole new world for them.
As the saying goes, the Dharma Gate comes from the heart. Is there really such a huge gap between different realms? In the end, at the very beginning, there was no division of realms between cultivators. In the course of the development of cultivation, various sects and systems were gradually born. People were bound by the framework of the system and took it for granted. It was a foolish behavior to be stuck in one's ways.
No one knew that at the moment when Yan Li's consciousness was interrupted, the Green Lotus Dharma Gate's operation was also interrupted for a moment, causing the second half of the move to not take shape. Even an idiot would understand how fatal this was in a duel.
However, even if the second half of the move took shape, it still couldn't kill Zhang Zhixiong. At most, it was a tie.
This was Yan Li's conclusion. The result of the simulation was supposed to be mutual destruction, which was completely different from the real world. If it weren't for the Green Lotus's ability to restrain filth, he would have been drowned in Blood Qi, and his consciousness wouldn't have been able to maintain its integrity.
Even with the first style of the Green Lotus Sword Song, he could only tie with Zhang Zhixiong. The Waning Moon Saber Technique probably had a great background.
After an unknown amount of time, when the green light had almost disappeared, a sharp-eyed audience suddenly said, "Hey, look, his hand holding the sword is shaking. He can't hold on much longer …"
Everyone took a closer look, and it was true.
Big beads of sweat rolled down from Yan Li's head and face, mixed with the blood on his body, and became sticky, as if he had been fished out of a bloody mud. His face was originally pale, but now it was suffused with an unnatural dark green color, and his lips were even paler.
Only his eyes were still as indifferent as before, deep and unfathomable.
The tip of the sword and the blade were still confronting each other, but without the protection of the green light, the raging fire had already swallowed half of the blade. Once the fire reached the front of Yan Li's face, the result would be revealed.
"Give up! We won't blame you! "
A gambler who bet on Yan Li to win sighed, "Don't lose your life because of a fight."
His words were echoed by several people. "Give up, Yan Li. Your future is limitless. Don't die here in vain!"
If Yan Li gave up here, Zhang Zhixiong would have to withdraw his saber, which was the rule of the martial arts arena. If he still wanted to kill his opponent after he gave up, he would be punished for murder.
In fact, Yan Li was very clear that his hand was shaking, and he was even more clear that it was because the cliff was getting heavier and heavier.
Yes, the operation of the Heart-cleansing Formula, except for the use of Green Lotus, had not been interrupted from beginning to end.
In the vast world, the body of the Heart-cleansing Sword had turned into a deep pure black, and the whole space was rendered dark by it. It was no longer chaotic, but like a swamp, invisibly revealing a suffocating heaviness.
Yan Li raised his head and met Zhang Zhixiong's eyes in midair, and the corners of his mouth rose, "It's really a pleasant duel, isn't it?"
Zhang Zhixiong looked at Yan Li expressionlessly. His anger had been poured out, and his mind had completely cooled down. His eyes turned from Yan Li's face to the cliff.
At first, the body of the sword was translucent like a gauze, but unknowingly, it had turned into a completely pure black. It was not that there were no Precious Weapons that could change color, but they were usually some strange things.
Thinking of the rumor of Yan Li on the first day of school, he suddenly said incredulously, "Heart-cleansing …"
Before the word "Formula" had left his mouth, Yan Li suddenly whispered, "Chaotic World City!"
The external force absorbed by the Heart-cleansing Formula gushed out in an instant. Yan Li's figure flashed, and he instantly passed Zhang Zhixiong.
Clatter!
The forged saber suddenly broke. Zhang Zhixiong fell from midair, and his expression was frozen in disbelief. He couldn't stop staggering forward, and after a few steps, he stood still and knelt down. Like an old man in his twilight years, his upper body slumped, and he no longer moved.
Yan Li seemed to get rid of a heavy burden. He drew a beautiful sword flower, and then returned it to the sheath. "I give you my bad luck."
Clang!
The forged saber was broken into two pieces, and fell behind him.
The crisp sound of metal and stone hitting each other woke up the audience from a dream. Their mouths were wide open, and perhaps a duck egg could be stuffed into it.
At the edge of the martial arts arena, the official from the Notary Department who was in charge of surveillance recovered from the shock, and hurriedly went up to announce the result, checked the documents, and then went back to the Notary Department to make a record.
This duel was hard, but it was worth it.
Zhang Zhixiong was a good opponent, but unfortunately, he was the nephew of the Martial God Wang Ba.
"The Judicial Department is handling this case. If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
At this moment, a roar came from outside the crowd. Then, hundreds of cold-looking men in black clothes and cloaks of different colors rushed over, violently pushed the crowd, and came to the martial arts arena.
Three people came out of the class. Two of them were Yu Xing Zhi and his son. The other one had a long, pointy face. His appearance was unprepossessing, and he looked extremely gloomy. He had a short beard on his chin, and he was wearing a blood-red cloak. It was especially eye-catching among the blue, black, and grey cloaks.
Yu Muren did not look at Zhang Zhixiong's body, but pointed at Yan Li and shouted, "Yan Li, now we suspect that you colluded with the underworld, and the evidence is the precious weapon in your hand. The witness has been handed over to the Judicial Department, and you should surrender now!"
Hearing that it was the Judicial Department, the crowd, who had been violently pushed away, was full of resentment, but did not dare to show it, and obediently hid in the distance.
The man in the blood-red cloak jumped onto the stage with his hands behind his back. Immediately, several men behind him rushed up and surrounded Yan Li.
To everyone's surprise, Yan Li did not say a word, and threw Li Ya to the man.
The man took it, and his eyes were cold. He glanced at Yan Li, and then looked at Li Ya, and spat out two words, "Take him away."
The situation on the stage changed so fast that it was dazzling.
"The Judicial Department still intervened!" Tang Sanghua watched Yan Li being taken away by the Judicial Department, thought for a moment, and then left.
"See, I told you that his strength is just so-so." Ye Qing sneered and also left.
Wang Yuanqing stared at Zhang Zhixiong's body for a while, and then turned and left.
…
Yan Li was taken away, but the place was not the Judicial Department, but the capital governor's office.
This was Yu Xingzhi's request, hoping that he would be the one to interrogate and then convict him.
In the main hall of the capital governor's office, Yu Xingzhi, who was sitting under the plaque "Mirror of Eminence", did have some bearing. The man in the blood-red cloak was sitting next to him.
Bang!
The gavel slammed on the table, and Yu Xingzhi said coldly, "Yan Li, why didn't you kneel in the court!"
Yan Li's hands and feet were shackled, but he still stood proudly in the hall. Not only did he not want to kneel, he didn't even look at Yu Xingzhi.
"The Academy's rules state that any student of the Academy doesn't need to bow to officials, and can receive the treatment of a previous imperial scholar."
He said lazily, "Official Yu, why do you have to give me a chair? Can't you see that I can't even stand properly?"
Yu Xingzhi sneered and waved his hand, "What's the harm in giving it to you? Today, you won't escape death!"
Immediately, a bailiff brought a chair. Yan Li sat down, and said with a smile, "Official Yu is a good person. Then may I ask which underworld figure I have colluded with? "
Yu Xingzhi said coldly, "You colluded with the underworld peddler Mr. Yu to buy a precious weapon. I guess you have frequent dealings with the underworld, and there must be more than one. Official Lan is here, quickly confess!"
"Where is the witness?" Yan Li asked lazily.
"Hmph, summon the witness, Liang Xiaowan."
"Summon the witness, Liang Xiaowan."
Not long after, a bailiff brought a young and inexperienced teenager into the hall. He first paid his respects to Yu Xingzhi, then glanced at the evidence, Li Ya, and said, "Milord, this precious artifact was hung in the shop by Mr. Yu. This lowly one has seen it more than once, and will never forget it."
