Head of the Fox Zen School<hr>

Soust of windLi Yundong's instincts kicked in, and he leaped backwardsThere was a burst of green light, after which Zi Yuan's figure flashed into existence, occupying the spot he'd just vacated

Zi Yuan's figure disappeared before Li Yundong even had time to recover from his shock

She reappeared somewhere on his left

He turned, fully anticipating an attack, but then she vanished again

She's fast!

There was a soft rustleLi Yundong wheeled around, and Zi Yuan was right there with her pal twisted his torso sideways, but then the strike he'd been anticipating never caain

A feint?

Li Yundong gasped when the ground shi+fted under his feetHe leaped away just in time to avoid Zi Yuan's palround fully after thatstared at Zi Yuan in shock

That was the sa had used earlier

SNAP! CRACK!

Li Yundong looked up and saw the Fan of Seven Treasures slicing through a huge boulder that was about to squash hi pieces of rocks scattering into the airThen, the rocks stoppedin midair

Gasps of wonder washed over those atching the battle

Li Yundong knew then as about to happenA mudra formed on his hands just as those rocks pelted doards hihty Push!+

”Namah sa the rocks apart before they could hit hi the crowd, but Li Yundong didn't have tiain

Seriously, how could that woman move so damn fast—

”Ah!!! Li zhenren!”

”Behind you!”

Li Yundong wheeled around, but he was too lateZi Yuan's palm slammed into his sternum; and for the first ti sent flying

After cartwheeling around in the air for a few seconds, Li Yundong ain control of his body and floated back down to the grounddamnThat had hurtHe felt like he had the wind knocked out of hi Sect!” Zou Ping announced seneration”

And just like that, the crowd started cheering again

Li Yundong landed on the ground with a soft thud and then pressed his pal effect coursed through hi the discomfort in his torso where Zi Yuan's strike had landed

He lowered his hands and stared at Zi Yuan who now stood ten meters away fro flinchedWait azoo! How could—

AhSo you can hear ood

What the hell? It was like Zi Yuan's voice was inside his head

What kind of crazy spell—

Calm down, Zi Yuan saidI've placed an invisible seal on you

An invisible seal? When did she even…?

Realization washed over himThat palm strikeShe must've placed the seal on him when she struck his torso earlier

It's only teht now our Spirits are linkedWe can cohts

Okay, Li Yundong answered

Listen, Zi Yuan saidYou're gonna have to fight meAnd don't hold back, you understand?

What! No! You're onna hurt—

Now isn't the ti

C'mon, Zi YuanYou can't seriously expect me to hurt you! I can't, okay? I just can't

What kind of a person would he be if he even thought of har the person who had already sacrificed so h with thisThis was unacceptable

”You shouldn't have interfered tonight, Li zhenren,” Zi Yuan said coldlyEven froaze sent chills down his spine”And in doing so, you have disrespected the Great Six's authority” Zi Yuan flicked her sleeve elegantly”And I'm here to defeat you in the name of the Great Six”

A chorus of cheers erupted

Come on, Zi Yuan… Please don't make ong Sect is in danger, Zi Yuan said grionna shutyou

But still! This is—

No, Li YundongWe have to fightYou have to defeatnot to let his incredulity show right there

”Zi Yuan zhenren, is it?” Li Yundong asked, stalling for ti expressionAnd Zi Yuan was right: Zhang Tianhé atching her like a hawk

Godda took a deep breath, then exhaledWhat if we just put on an act? You'll fake your loss and—

That's not gonna work, Li YundongLook around youWe're surrounded by trained CultivatorsThey'll see through the act right away

”No! Liu zhǎng turned around and saw a panicking Cao Yi scra for …

It was like Zi Yuan's telepathic voice had a cal effectHe turned to the front and aze

Do you trust me? she asked

Yes

Of course he trusted herHow could he not trust her after everything she had done for him?

Then trust me when I say that I have a plan, okay?

What plan?

”Bring me more vials!” Cao Yi screa tozhenren,” Zi Yuan said without taking her eyes off Li Yundong”You're in the way”

Zou Ping's sh she co Tianhé's side

My plan ork, Zi Yuan said insistently, but only if you defeat me for real

There was pause

Li Yundong waited for her to say more

You don't have to kill me, of course, Zi Yuan continuedJust injure me a little and I'll handle the restOkay?

Li Yundong understood the general idea of the plan, of courseZi Yuan's defeat would, without a doubt, finally convince these assholes to leave the mountainBut still, he couldn't help but think that there washim

Yan-shībó is probably on her way to retrieve Liuhe right nowI need to go before she gets her hands on that swordThere was a pauseLast I checked, her Yang Spirit wasn't in its full form yet, so we still have tiive Hongling and I a legitihedFineLet's do this

GoodI won't hold back, Zi Yuan saidNeither should you

Li Yundong punched the air in front of hiure and absorbed the shockwave like it was nothing

”Good punch,” Zi Yuan said once the ind subsided”Now it's ure vanished in a flashOne of these days he was going to ask her to teach hiht she was almost as fast as he hen he'd borrowed the Heavens' spiritual energy to dodge lightning

Li Yundong ducked instinctively; Zi Yuan's palm sailed over his head

Not bad, Zi Yuan reed to avoid thatI'ainGreatNohere the heck did she go?

You know, Li Yundong… We ht as well have some—Zi Yuan's pal the opportunity, Li Yundong trapped Zi Yuan's palht punchHis fist struck eain

This is your idea of fun? Li Yundong snorted internallyYou're crazy

HmmLet's see how much you've improved, shall we?

Zi Yuan reappeared in front of hi

Li Yundong gritted his teeth and pounced forward

Hah! Got you now! There was no way she could dodge this time—

He received yet another surprise when his punch went through Zi Yuan's body instead of hitting it

Gotcha, Zi Yuan said s purple ribbonThe ribbon slithered along Li Yundong's ar towards his torsoSNAP! The Fan of Seven Treasures sliced the ribbon into shreds
