Only then did Chu Li feel completely relieved.
"Brother Li, do you want to see my sword technique?" Li Hanyan asked hurriedly when she saw that he was about to leave.
Chu Li pondered for a moment and nodded. "Your swordsmanship is already very good. You just need to continue to improve it. Moreover, as you continue to fight, your understanding will become deeper and deeper. What suits you the best is the best. The same set of swordsmanship can only be used differently by different people. You can't force things."
"Yes." Li Hanyan nodded and said, "I understand, but I still want Brother Li to give me some pointers."
"Alright." Chu Li nodded.
He reached out and grabbed Li Hanyan's wrist. He could feel the firmness and elasticity of her wrist even through the sleeve. Then, the two of them suddenly disappeared.
Chu Li and him appeared on the island of the House of High Dukes.
On this small island, he was the most relaxed. He did not need to be on guard against anyone. Otherwise, even if he was in King An's Imperial Residence, he would subconsciously be on guard.
It was not Lee Hanyan's first time here. She would occasionally come here to play. She glanced around and saw Xue Ling. She smiled at her.
Xue smiled back at her.
"You two can spar more," Chu Li said with a smile.
Xue Ling said, "Sister Li's cultivation level has improved greatly. I can't compare to you."
Ever since she had become a Grandmaster, she no longer had an ardent desire to cultivate. She was often tied up with miscellaneous matters. Compared to cultivating, she preferred to help Chu Li with trivial matters, including the matters of the Glory's Will Courtyard.
Li Hanyan laughed, "I don't deserve it."
"Yes, Xue Ling has indeed been slacking off recently." Chu Li nodded. "But her foundation is pretty good."
She cultivated the Crescent Cryptic, which was the most difficult to cultivate. The beginning was difficult, but the later stages were much faster. With Chu Li's help, she had built a solid foundation. Now, even if she did not focus on cultivating, her cultivation speed was not slow. In fact, it was much faster than the average person.
Xue Ling smiled, "Master, do I still need to continue cultivating?"
"Of course, there's no end to cultivation. If you don't advance, you'll fall behind." Chu Li nodded and said, "You should focus your mind. Everything else is not worth mentioning compared to cultivation."
"Yes," Xue Ling answered crisply.
The three of them appeared in an empty space in the middle of the flowerbed. It was the place where they cultivated.
Chu Li said, "Let's learn from each other. You'll have to figure out how to improve it yourself."
"Yes," Li Hanyan answered excitedly.
Chu Li had always adopted this method of imparting knowledge to her. Most of the time, it was to inspire her instead of directly imparting martial arts to her so that she could comprehend something of her own.
Chu Li extended his hand and Xue Ling handed him a long sword.
Li Hanyan unsheathed her sword and shouted, "Watch my sword!" Her body moved like a ghost and instantly appeared in front of Chu Li, the tip of her sword already stabbing towards him.
Chu Li swung his sword lightly.
Li Hanyan's longsword bounced off, and she stabbed again, unwilling to admit defeat.
She felt that the strength of the sword wasn't great, but it was just right.
It was such an exquisite strike that could turn the tide of the battle at a crucial moment. Of course, she would not let it go, so she continued to strike. Chu Li swung his sword again.
Li Hanyan's sword was deflected once again. She was defenseless.
"Great sword technique!" She let out a delicate shout and continued to strike with her sword. Her sword momentum became even faster as she wanted to see if she could break this exquisite sword.
Chu Li still only used this one sword technique. No matter how Li Hanyan changed her moves, he could always deflect it easily. No matter how exquisite her moves were, she could not perform them.
In one breath, she stabbed more than twenty times. Li Hanyan said helplessly, "Brother Li, is there a way to break this sword technique?"
"Yes." Chu Li smiled. "There is no martial art in the world that can't be broken."
"Then how do you break it?"
"You should learn how to use it first before you break it."
"Then teach me." Li Hanyan said in a coquettish tone.
"You can figure it out yourself." Chu Li shook his head. "I'll teach you. You'll only learn one move. Actually, all the moves can be used like this."
Li Hanyan pondered and continued to strike.
She struck more than a hundred times in one breath, but she still could not get the hang of it.
Chu Li patiently struck with his sword. Every strike was effortless as if it was done casually. Li Hanyan felt like she was a child swinging a sword in front of Chu Li. All the moves were full of flaws and could not withstand a single blow.
This made her feel discouraged. Initially, she thought that after such a long period of hard work, she could close the gap between her and Chu Li. Now, it seemed that the gap was getting farther and farther away.
Chu Li did not say a word. He only struck with his sword, hoping that she could comprehend it.
If she could comprehend it, her swordsmanship would be upgraded to another level. With this energy in her sword, her power would increase tremendously. Even if she encountered someone with a stronger inner energy than her, she would still have a chance of winning.

Du Ying fluttered to the Divine Light Basilica and curtsied.
Sun Mingyue glanced at her. "What's the matter? You're in such a hurry!"
"Saint, something bad has happened!" Du Ying hurriedly said.
"Tell me." Sun Mingyue put down the dossier and looked at her. "What is it?"
"Senior Brother Deng is badly injured." Du Ying said.
Sun Mingyue frowned. "It's not normal to be injured. What's wrong?"
"But isn't he going to kill Li Hanyan soon? Now that he's so badly injured, it's impossible for him to go! "
"Yes."
"Saint, this is a big mistake!"
"It's nothing, it's just a mistake."
"Are we just going to watch Li Hanyan get away scot-free?" Du Ying frowned. "Are we not going to avenge Senior Brother Chang?"
"If Deng Datong can't do it, there'll be someone else." Sun Mingyue calmly said, "Isn't there still Zhao Dahe?"
"Saintess, how could Junior Brother Zhao help us in this situation?"
"That might not be the case. You can't judge Zhao Dahe with common sense." Sun Mingyue said, "Alright, don't worry about this. Is there anything else?"
"Oh, it's about Junior Brother Zhao. He's returned to Gale City and asked me to pass a message to you."
"Say it."
"Junior Brother Zhao said that he's going to cripple his own martial arts."
"Then let him do it." Sun Mingyue said impatiently, "I'd like to see how he's going to do it."
"Junior Brother Zhao said that the Saint won't let him live. He can't avenge himself even if he cultivates martial arts. Instead, he'll be plotted against and used. He's better off not cultivating martial arts," Du Ying said.
She showed a sympathetic expression. She felt that Deng Datong and the Saint had gone too far and hurt Junior Brother Zhao's feelings.
"He's always thinking about good things and being able to avenge himself!" Sun Mingyue scoffed. "If I can't avenge myself, what right does he have to do so?"
"Yes." Du Ying said nothing.
Sun Mingyue said, "Is Deng Datong's injury serious?"
"Yes, he almost lost his life." Du Ying nodded. "It seems that Senior Brother Deng can't heal himself and needs help from a senior expert."
"Alright, I know." Sun Mingyue waved her hand.
"Saint, do you want to help him?"
"No need." Sun Mingyue said.
Du Ying nodded.
She did not want the Saint to help, nor did she want anyone else to help. Deng Datong should bear the consequences of his own actions. He could survive a natural disaster, but he could not survive a self-inflicted one.
Du Ying was secretly happy but pretended to be worried. "Then Senior Brother Deng's military pledge is for nothing."
"That's his problem." Sun Mingyue said, "We've already helped him too much. If he can't complete his task, he can't blame anyone else."
"Yes." Du Ying pursed her lips and smiled.
Sun Mingyue knew what she was thinking. She shook her head and smiled. She waved her hand. "Go!"
