Liu Yuan was both pleased and angry at the same time.
Fortunately, his great apprentice has not forgotten what he taught him and knows how to use slowness to control speed and restrain his fast sword. If the apprentice makes progress, the master will naturally be pleased.
What makes Yi Haichao angry is that he actually uses what he once taught him to stop him. Is there anything more ridiculous in the world than this?
Seeing that Kuai Jian could not do anything to Yi Haichao, Liu Yuan no longer drew his sword blindly, but took a step back and stood still, watching Yi Haichao quietly.
Everyone present except Jiang Tianyi was puzzled. They didn't know what Liu Yuan meant by giving up his advantage.
Just now, Liu Yuan fired one hundred and eight swords in succession. Although he was helpless against Yi Haichao, for the same reason, Yi Haichao could only defend passively without any means of counterattack. It can be said that although Liu Yuan did not occupy the winning position, he firmly held the advantage. Logically speaking, he shouldn't give up so easily. How could this happen?
Jiang Tianyi knew what Liu Yuan was doing, so he sighed softly and said, "That's the starting point for the second step of killing in ten steps. Brother Liu, he is serious."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned on the spot, and Wan Yanxia turned pale and said tremblingly: "Jiang Tianyi, you mean that he hasn't used his full strength from the beginning to the end?"
Jiang Tianyi nodded slightly and said, "Sect Master Wan, you can't beat him."
Wan Yanxia pursed her lower lip. Even though she was deeply dissatisfied, she felt powerless at this moment.
Liu Yuan had already forced her into a desperate situation before he even used his full strength. With such a huge gap, does she still have hope of defeating him in this life?
Yi Haichao suddenly spoke and said: "Yanxia, you have the right to step aside."
Wan Yanxia was startled and said: "Mr. Yi, you..."
Yi Haichao did not look back, he was still looking at Liu Yuan, but his tone was a little more serious, and he said: "Yanxia, listen to me, please step aside first."
Wan Yanxia had a complicated look on her face, but in the end she didn't refute, she sighed softly and said, "Okay."
When Wan Yanxia pushed away, Liu Yuan moved and swung his sword to stab the Neiguan key point on Yi Haichao's wrist.
Yi Haichao knew that Liu Yuan's momentum was at its peak at this moment and it was not appropriate to hit him head-on, so he did not block but retreated.
Liu Yuan naturally caught up with him, but his footwork was extremely strange. He took three steps forward, then stopped suddenly, took another one or three steps, and stopped again. This cycle repeats over and over again, making it seem as if you are extremely unfamiliar with Qing Gong.
If it were anyone else, Yi Haichao would just think that this person's Qinggong skills were not high enough, so he wouldn't take him seriously, and would just deal with his sword moves casually. At this moment, Yi Haichao was facing Liu Yuan, so he would not have such a stupid idea.
If you can dominate the world by relying only on Qinggong, how can you not be good at Qinggong?
Wan Yanxia's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Liu Yuan's footwork, she only felt that it was slightly similar to the Qinggong of Luo Yu Sect.
The Luoyu Sect's Qinggong, when practiced to the extreme, will take three steps forward and then two steps back. Compared with Liu Yuan's three steps and one pause, there are many similarities.
After all, Yi Haichao is just a swordsman. Even though he is extremely talented, his ability to comprehend the light and shadow of a sword is already the limit. He has no time to practice the supreme Qing Gong. No matter how he retreated, he still couldn't avoid Liu Yuan's sword.
Yi Haichao smiled bitterly, having already expected this.
His Qing Kung was all taught by Liu Yuan, so how could he defeat him?
Yi Haichao exhaled and said softly: "I'm offended."
Yi Haichao no longer held back and directed a glimmer of sword light towards Liu Yuan.
Light is invisible and has no quality, making it difficult for people to guard against it. In order to avoid this knife, Liu Yuan had to move aside. Naturally, it was difficult to perform the second move of killing with ten steps.
Yi Haichao danced the Heaven Cleansing Sword, and in an instant, dozens of sword rays were slashed towards Liu Yuan with each move.
The flash of the sword was so sudden that even Liu Yuan had no time to react and could only try to dodge, but in the end he was unable to dodge and his sleeves were cut open.
Suddenly, the two bamboo slips in Liu Yuan's sleeves fell to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
Liu Yuan looked at the two scrolls of bamboo slips, then looked at Xiang Lan, and sighed, wondering why. He felt physically and mentally exhausted in an instant, put away the Longquan Sword, and said feebly: "That's all, no more fighting."
As soon as Liu Yuan stopped, the bloody evil spirit that filled the Fufeng Hall quickly dissipated, and the hall suddenly lit up.
Du Yuan's frown dispersed, dispersing the Buddhist inner power condensed in his palms.
The blood evil energy released by Liu Yuan was too strong. As a master of Buddhism, he was full of Buddhist righteousness, but he was a little disgusted by the blood evil energy.
Zhang Mo also nodded and retreated to Gu Qingcheng.
Looking at Liu Yuan's posture, he knew that he couldn't fight. In this case, there was no need for him to take action again.
Yi Haichao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu, for showing mercy."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Yuan is indeed showing mercy. After ten steps and one kill, Liu Yuan only took two steps, and there were still eight steps behind him. He was indeed showing mercy.
Liu Yuan walked over, bent down and picked up the two bamboo slips, looked at Wan Yanxia, and said, "Sect Master Wan, are you telling the truth just now?"
Wan Yanxia was startled. The anger in her heart was no longer as strong as before. Facing Liu Yuan, although she was still angry, she answered, "I don't need to lie to you."
Liu Yuan nodded and said with a wry smile: "That's true."
Seeing Liu Yuan's appearance, Jiang Tianyi had already guessed what he was going to do next and said, "Have you decided yet?"
Liu Yuan first looked at Wan Yanxia, and then at Xiang Lan. His eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and finally turned into a long sigh and said: "Forget it, let's take a gamble. Jiang Tianyi, what do you think?"
Jiang Tian said: "Brother Liu, you don't have to ask me. You got these two bamboo slips, so it's up to you to make the decision. Just follow your heart. As for the rest, what should you do with it?"
Liu Yuan was stunned for a while, then nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Chen Ying was confused and said, "Master, Senior Jiang, what are you talking about?"
Liu Yuan rarely ignored Chen Ying, walked up to Xiang Lan, handed over the two scrolls of bamboo slips, and said: "Miss Xiang, here they are for you, return them to their original owners."
Xiang Lan was stunned and said: "Senior, this is your thing, how can it be said that it has been returned to its original owner?"
Liu Yuan frowned and said: "I'll give it to you as promised. Where do you get so many problems? If you are afraid of trouble, your master will help you stop it."
Xiang Lan subconsciously looked at Wan Yanxia, who seemed to have discussed it with Yi Haichao and nodded lightly at her.
Wan Yanxia agreed. If Xiang Lan refused again, it would be inappropriate. Although he was puzzled, he could only accept it.
Liu Yuan handed the bamboo slips to Xiang Lan, breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and said, "Jiang Tianyi, let's go."
Jiang Tian was stunned and said, "Are you leaving now?"
Liu Yuandao: "Everything is done, why are you still here?"
"Of course it's for the sake of killing someone."
A voice suddenly came down from the beams, followed by a figure coming down.
"Xiayi Pingfan, I have met you all."
