The duel stage was in the garden, which was originally used for hosting grand festival ceremonies. It was in the yard next to the Hundred Garden.
Hearing that a duel was going to liven things up, the guests moved to the yard next door.
At this time, the sky had already darkened. Bonfires were lit all around, and the blazing flames illuminated pairs of excited eyes.
The Dragon Emperor Dynasty advocated duels, especially life-and-death duels. Death could always stimulate people's brains.
After inquiring about the two duels, one was Xia Wanli, the Young Master of the Tianyi Sword Pavilion. He had learned the Sword Formula from the Young Master of the Tianyi Sword Pavilion. The Sword Formula was also the signature method of the Tianyi Sword Pavilion. The Sword Pavilion was famous for dominating the 12 towns in the ancient capital of Jiangnan.
The other was Yan Li, an independent cultivator. Although he looked like an independent cultivator, after inquiring about him, he was actually on the Talent List.
Although the List made by the Heavenly Policy Building might not be completely accurate, it was enough to measure the strength of the participants. No one knew whether those who were not on the List were strong or not, but those who were on the List must have something special.
Of course, in comparison, Xia Wanli was more favored. If someone opened a bet, there would be more people betting on him.
Now the two duels were in position, and the audience was ready to watch the show.
Xia Wanli looked around, and his chest gradually filled with a sense of accomplishment. He enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. It not only made his blood boil, but also burned his soul.
But everyone knew that burning one's soul had a price.
The price was to be lost.
He was lost in this kind of pleasure, so he didn't notice that Yan Li's eyes were filled with the same killing intent as his own. What he didn't know was that in Yan Li's eyes, he was just a stumbling block that had to be removed, even though this stumbling block had been magnified infinitely in his current state.
The infinitely magnified stumbling block was not the foot, but the whole person. Because if he couldn't get over it, he would die. He couldn't just fall and be fine.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell how bad Yan Li's condition was at the moment.
Liang Wen's fists could really be described as "every punch penetrated the flesh". The fist force had already penetrated his internal organs and destroyed his body. At this critical moment, he had no choice but to mobilize the remaining 20% of his True Qi to deal with the swordsman in front of him.
"Be careful!"
Xia Wanli even pretended to shout. Like all the normal swordsmen, he first slashed out a sword light at the beginning of the duel.
His sword light was also like all swordsmen who conformed to the rules, neither bending nor twisting, neither bending nor straight.
It was a straight sword light.
Right now, Yan Li only had one chance. With his remaining True Qi, the only thing he could use to kill his opponent was the Hidden Sword Formula.
A neutral sword light was obviously not enough to force him to reveal his trump card.
For people like Xia Wanli who fawned on those in power, once they knew that he possessed an absolute art, their understanding of him would definitely increase. That would only increase the difficulty of killing him.
Li Ya unsheathed his sword and unleashed a straight sword aura.
The two sword lights met in the air and then collided as if they were mortal enemies. In the end, both of them paid the price of being annihilated to end this round of grudges.
Then the old round of grievances had ended, and a new round was about to begin.
Xia Wanli caught a glimpse of Yan Li's sword and covered his mouth while coughing. He sneered and shouted, "Brother Yan, good swordsmanship. Why don't you try this move of mine!"
He was just trying to attract the attention of the spectators, so that they would not notice the fact that Yan Li was coughing and vomiting blood.
As soon as he shouted, he took a big step forward. The treasured sword in his hand was swung out irregularly, creating irregular sword lights.
Yan Li was just about to strike down the one in front of him, but he saw the one in front of him suddenly change direction. The sword's momentum changed from swift to slow, and it felt as heavy as a city wall.
His expression changed slightly, and he had no choice but to change the strength of the sword in his hand.
Bang!
Of course, the sword light was broken, but this was only the one in front of him. Following that, four or five sword lights, with a dazzling change, approached Yan Li.
These changes were treacherous and complicated. The light became heavy, the heavy became tricky, the tricky became neutral, and the neutral became vicious.
This was the most special part of the Qieyun Sword Technique. After the sword's momentum was born, it could be changed at will, so that the enemy could only react hastily. Usually, it wouldn't take more than a few moves to defeat the opponent.
Yan Li had no choice but to retreat a few steps, and in an extremely thrilling manner, he shattered the remaining few sword lights.
"Good skills! How about this move! " Xia Wanli shouted. His whole body was like a flying bird, and he continuously waved his sword in mid-air. The sword lights flashed, and the swords were so fast that it was like two swords were dancing. The sword lights on the left and right were like silver spiraling pieces of iron. In the continuous rotation, they pounced towards Yan Li like lightning.
Yan Li judged at first glance that although this move was strong, it was not enough to kill the opponent.
He retreated without thinking, but it was already too late to dodge. When he blocked with his sword, without the help of the Hidden Sword Technique, the abundant force passed through the cliff, and he immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest. He screamed, and his whole body flew to the edge of the stage. He lay on the ground and vomited blood.
There were actually not many people who were watching.
There were not many people who could see, or cared about, whether Yan Li was seriously injured.
They only saw that at the beginning of the duel, Yan Li was beaten by Xia Wanli until he vomited blood on the ground. The huge difference in strength made them lose interest in watching the battle.
Ji Wuyi shook her head in disappointment and said, "I thought he was an amazing opponent. It turns out that he is so weak. It seems like there are more tricks in the battle at the Heart Whispering Lake."
When Liu Xiangxiu heard this, his heart warmed up, and he said, "Princess, please understand. If it is a battle of life and death, I will not lose!"
"Humph!" Ji Wuyi looked at him with contempt. "You can't even win a battle of life and death. Talk less and cultivate more. You don't even have the self-awareness of a Confucian orthodoxy disciple."
Liu Xiangxiu's face became very ugly, and he said in a low voice, "I will prove myself!" When he looked at Yan Li again, his eyes became more vicious. "You'd better not die!"
Xia Wanli elegantly drew a flower with his sword in the air, and then slowly landed on the ground. He put on a calm look, but his eyes fell on Ji Wuyi, who was on the spectator stand. "Yan Li, it seems that the outcome of our battle has been decided. Seeing that it is not easy for you to cultivate, I don't want to kill you. If you can take back the bet and swear to serve the Second Prince for life, I will spare your life! "
"You … spare my life?"
Yan Li spat out a mouthful of blood and sputum, and he struggled to stand up with the support of the cliff.
It was obvious that he was struggling to stand, and his legs were still trembling slightly, as if he would fall at any time. However, there was an obvious mockery on his face.
"Who gave you … confidence …" he said.
"Alright, I'll show you who gave me my confidence!" Xia Wanli was so angry that he laughed. He was about to mobilize his vital energy and give Yan Li a fatal blow when a cold voice suddenly came from the spectator stand.
