"I have a third option!" Liu Xiangxiu said coldly.
"Of course you can just walk away." Yan Li revealed his signature evil smile. "But tomorrow, the Heavenly Secret Archives will definitely report the truth. By then, I should be very famous in the capital. I might even have to thank you."
Liu Xiangxiu revealed a strange smile. "Then you should thank me."
Everyone, including Yan Li, was surprised by his sudden change from offense to defense.
"In that case, as a so-called disciple of Confucian orthodoxy, you don't even have the confidence to defeat a mere independent practitioner like me." Yan Li sneered. "Why don't the Five Elements Court be renamed to Kame Deity Court?"
This mockery was a little heavy. If Liu Xiangxiu endured it, he would really be embarrassed tomorrow.
From the moment he took the initiative to attack, Yan Li did not plan to let him go easily.
This time, it could be said that he was forced into a dead end.
Liu Xiangxiu's expression calmed down, and she said, "I didn't want to bother with an unaffiliated person like you. You might think that the consequences of losing are just a bit of face, but you didn't think about the impact it would have on the exam. I think the holy court will not appoint a person with no sense of morality and immoral to be a jinshi. Even if you have great strength, I'm afraid you will be excluded. "
"You entered the Five Elements Court because of your flattery, right?" Yan Li said.
"Begin!" Liu Xiangxiu was furious.
Everyone looked at each other and retreated into the woods, leaving more space for the "two people" to fight.
Yan Li was not in a hurry to observe the position of the swimming fish.
To win this battle, the most important thing was not to catch the fish, but to prevent the other party from catching the fish.
Naturally, Liu Xiangxiu was not stupid. His eyes were locked on Yan Li.
For a moment, the two were facing each other across the shore. The air gradually settled into a murderous silence. Even the jumping fish were lying on the grass obediently, not daring to move.
"Do you know what the greatest sorrow of an independent cultivator is?" Liu Xiangxiu asked.
He still did not want to give up on defeating Yan Li's psychological defense, because Confucian orthodoxy was used to being high and mighty, and being bullied by an independent person was simply something that had never happened before. Not only did he want to gain the upper hand in terms of cultivation, but he also wanted to gain the upper hand in terms of speech.
Yan Li said lightly, "Tell me about it."
"That's right, there's no fixed place to cultivate, and there's no basis for the Dharma Access." Liu Xiangxiu's eyes widened in anger, and he suddenly struck out with his palm.
The swift and fierce palm wind surged towards the opposite shore like an avalanche. What was supposed to be wind suddenly transformed into fire.
As the saying goes, fire borrows the momentum of the wind. The earth-shattering palm winds transformed into raging flames in an instant.
This kind of large scale attack was precisely the nemesis of the Hidden Sword Tactics. Because the external force was too widely distributed, the area that Leaving Cliff could withstand was limited. With Yan Li's current cultivation, he was still unable to achieve the state of "hiding" without form.
If he couldn't defend, then he could only attack.
Yan Li closed his eyes slightly, unsheathed Leaving Cliff, and drew a semicircle at the bottom. Half of the sword wings formed by sword shadows appeared beside him, and then the sword wings exploded, turning into an earth-shattering sword shadow, and collided with the raging flames.
This move was Su Yu's original "Awe of the Phoenix". Even among the sword techniques that he knew, other than a few others, its power was still one of the best. It was hard to imagine that this was a sword technique created by a "native" of the divine continent. If Su Yu was placed in the Jambu Realm, and given some opportunities, he would definitely be able to break through the wider sky.
Every time Yan Li used the Green Lotus Sword Song, he would inevitably feel a sense of regret.
Boom!
It seemed like a confrontation between sword and fire, but in fact, with the cultivation of the two, it was more of a collision of energy against energy. Because with their cultivation level, they still couldn't achieve the stage where they could transform hollow spirits into objects.
Liu Xiangxiu had already recognized a reality, and that was that Yan Li's strength was not weak.
Therefore, he also started to get serious.
"Tiangang Indefinite, Qian Kun Infinite, Wind, Fire, Thunder, Lightning, Rain, listen to my command!"
A series of spiritual seals changed in his hands, and the Tiangang Seal floated above his head. As the spiritual seals changed, it burst forth with various colors of the power of nature.
For example, green wind, red fire, blue lightning, and transparent rain.
When the spiritual seals were completed, the Tiangang Seal produced a change, which was that the small square on it suddenly disintegrated, and dozens or hundreds of square squares floated in the air.
In a flash, five squares shot out from the middle. They were green, red, blue, and transparent. In the blink of an eye, they came around Yan Li, and broke into his sword field.
According to Yan Li's current cultivation level, there was a small range, about a few feet, where the power of his sword was the greatest.
These squares suddenly broke into the range, and in Yan Li's view, it was a little reckless.
His sword moved, and the squares immediately broke into powder.
But breaking the squares into powder was Liu Xiangxiu's original intention.
Yan Li immediately felt that all the major acupoints in his body were being pulled by a hidden power, which made his True Qi flow stagnant. Information about the Five Elements Court flashed through his mind.
The Five Elements Court used the Infinite Nourishment of Life as its general principle. With Liu Xiangxiu's cultivation level, he should be in the Condensing Spirit and Nourishing Qi realm, which could already affect all the major acupoints in a cultivator's body.
Being restrained by the mysterious natural power, Yan Li actually couldn't move for a moment.
But the price Liu Xiangxiu paid was not small. Those broken squares, who knew how much effort and precious treasures would be needed to refine them back.
Liu Xiangxiu couldn't bear the consequences of losing, but he was forced into a dead end by Yan Li. He had no other choice. No matter how great the loss, he had to win this battle.
Seeing that Yan Li was trapped, he took the opportunity to jump into the air above the lake.
The scattered squares floated up and spread out in a certain order in the air. From afar, it looked like Liu Xiangxiu had paved a stone path that wasn't too long or too short.
Liu Xiangxiu stood on it, and a victorious smile appeared on his face.
Yan Li frowned slightly. Just now, the lake was full of fish, so it naturally wasn't difficult. But now, there was only one fish in this huge lake, so it wouldn't be easy to find it. He had enough time to wait for the hidden power to disappear, and then he could shoot the opponent down.
But just as he thought about this, he suddenly heard Wang Yan's sneer, "Unaffiliated kid, you've already lost."
In fact, in the eyes of the onlookers, at this moment, Yan Li had indeed lost.
Liu Xiangxiu showed a victorious smile, but he didn't immediately go to catch the fish.
The seals in his hands continued to change, and all kinds of spiritual lights flickered under his feet. "Indefinite Heavenly Spirit, Infinite Universe, Cryptic Spirit Realm!"
In the blink of an eye, all the different colored lights suddenly became transparent. Dozens of small cubes suddenly hung down, forming a semi-circular cover above the lake.
