Chapter 81

"Humph!"

Liu Xinyan began to change her moves, transitioning from basic sword techniques to a powerful move of the Green Cloud Sword Technique—“Green Dragon Emerges,” her sword resembling a green dragon descending from the sky, ready to shatter everything before her.

The Green Cloud Sword Technique, soaring straight up!

Xiu Ying also employed the Green Cloud Sword Technique, using a move that directly countered “Green Dragon Emerges” with brute force.

Was Xiu Ying too confident? After a few victories, did she think she was strong enough to face anyone head-on?

No, Xiu Ying understood her own strength but was not arrogant. Her approach was actually a test to gauge Liu Xinyan's true capabilities. If the situation turned unfavorable, she would change her strategy.

Of course, this was a dangerous move against someone she knew nothing about, as it could lead to an instant defeat. However, Xiu Ying had some understanding of Liu Xinyan, which is why she dared to use this probing technique.

Clearly, Liu Xinyan's strength had been revealed. Under Xiu Ying's aggressive counterattacks, she was filled with rage and began to unleash her full power.

"Clang, clang..."

The sound of metal clashing echoed as Liu Xinyan executed one move after another of the Green Cloud Sword Technique. It was evident that she was quite proficient in this technique. However, Xiu Ying also moved with precision, countering with her own Green Cloud Sword Technique.

If Liu Xinyan's Green Cloud Sword Technique was impressive, Xiu Ying's was astounding, especially to those from the Yan Yun Manor. Everyone knew that Xiu Ying had only recently begun practicing the Green Cloud Sword Technique, and even if she had started from the beginning, reaching this level was quite remarkable.

Could it be that this Li Xiu Ying was a genius?

Of course, this was relative. Compared to ordinary people, there were many geniuses in the Green Cloud Sword Sect who could easily achieve this and even do better.

However, this did not change the fact that Xiu Ying was a promising talent. At least in the Green Cloud Sword Sect, she would become a valuable asset in the future, yes, just a valuable asset.

In the battle, Liu Xinyan consistently dominated Xiu Ying, maintaining a strong offensive. This was not because she was provoked by Xiu Ying, but because even with her aggressive style, she could still win. Xiu Ying was about three to four years behind her, and this gap was not easily bridged.

Xiu Ying had improved rapidly over the past two to three months, but at most, she had only caught up by two to three years, considering all factors, including the Heavenly Sword Canon. She still had a significant gap with Liu Xinyan, especially in terms of internal strength, which was about one to two years.

Martial arts were like this: time was a form of strength. If you could survive long enough, no genius would be your match!!

Someone once said, "Even if I can't beat you, I will outlive you and watch you die. That will be my victory!!"

The final outcome was not important; the principle stood that longevity was the strongest talent in the world.

Currently, Xiu Ying was not weaker than Liu Xinyan in sword technique and even slightly superior. This was what compensated for her lack of strength, giving her a glimmer of hope to defeat Liu Xinyan. However, this hope was small.

In terms of strength, Liu Xinyan was at the Fifth Level of the Second Pulse, while Xiu Ying was only at the First Level of the Second Pulse. Although it was possible to overcome such a gap, this was generally the privilege of geniuses, and Xiu Ying did not have this privilege. It was very difficult for her to bridge this gap.

Should I concede...

At this moment, Xiu Ying had considered conceding, as she had never intended to enter the top hundred. Liu Xinyan, on the other hand, had the absolute strength to enter the top hundred. According to the gambling house's analysis, Liu Xinyan's strength could potentially place her in the top fifty.

Xiu Ying had always had average luck, so why was she so unlucky to face Liu Xinyan this time?

This was not bad luck but an inevitable outcome. In the final round, the opponent would inevitably be someone with the strength to enter the top hundred. Her luck was just not good enough to avoid someone without top hundred strength, but she was not so unlucky as to face a formidable opponent. At least her current opponent still had a chance of being overturned.

"Clang!"

Liu Xinyan delivered another powerful strike. Although Xiu Ying barely blocked it, her hand was already numb from the impact and the previous exertion. She felt it was time to concede.

Want to concede? Humph, I won't let you concede unless I crush you. If you concede now, others might think we are evenly matched, which would only elevate you.

Liu Xinyan seemed to read Xiu Ying's thoughts but did not want to give her a chance to speak. She launched several rapid sword strikes, forcing Xiu Ying to focus on defense and continue the fight.

At this moment, the elders of the Yan Yun Manor seemed to notice the situation and frowned slightly. The supervising elder also noticed but did not intervene, as it was not yet time. They would only step in if someone was injured.

Xiu Ying had no choice but to endure, but this resilience was noticed by others. Although she was forced into it, an ordinary person often bursts with unexpected results when pushed to the limit.

"Let me defeat you in a grand manner!!"

Liu Xinyan thought to herself, emitting a powerful aura that suppressed Xiu Ying. She then executed a move that was both spectacular and powerful...

The sword stirred up dust on the ground, forming a vortex in the air that enveloped the sword and charged towards Xiu Ying. Of course, the dust and vortex were just additional effects with no real killing power; the key was still the sword!

At this moment, Xiu Ying's mind suddenly calmed. She thought of Bu Zheng, not the person but a particular sword technique he had practiced.

Recently, Bu Zheng had been practicing a specific sword technique that Xiu Ying found ordinary and not particularly powerful. However, because Bu Zheng practiced it frequently, it left a deep impression on her.

At this moment, for some reason, her body moved unconsciously, following the movements of that sword technique. Then everyone saw a flash of sword light...

"Boom!"

"Ah..."

Liu Xinyan was spectacularly sent flying, and Xiu Ying stood in the arena, sword in hand, dazed. She was confused by the situation, not expecting the sword technique to have such power. Why did it feel different when she used it compared to Bu Zheng?
