90: Chapter 90 Do you want to fight me again?

Striking again, Bai Zhaowei had lost her initial casualness.

The first Move Li Yuan used possessed such an Aura that it deserved some respect.

The surrounding onlookers did not see anything special about this sword strike.

In their eyes, the Move seemed mundane and ordinary.

Even Yan Chenzhou, judging solely by his eyes, could not see the profound meaning within it.

On the contrary, it was Bai Zhaowei's counterattack that made them feel an extraordinary Sword Intent.

"Even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit."

"The Bai Family Fairy truly has many aspects that are worth our dedicated study."

The people around were discussing, their words filled with praise for Bai Zhaowei.

In their eyes, Li Yuan's actions were still just a farce.

But as they continued to praise her, everyone soon sensed something was wrong.

Logically, there should have been a massive gap between Li Yuan and Bai Zhaowei's strength.

This gap could even be described as a chasm.

Faced with such a chasm, the winner should have been decided quickly.

Yet five Moves had already passed, and Bai Zhaowei still showed no signs of victory.

In the eyes of others, Li Yuan's Moves were clearly so ordinary, yet Bai Zhaowei seemed to be struggling immensely to deal with them.

Suddenly, the sword in Li Yuan's hand began to change its pattern.

The Nine Nether Azure Sword released a chilling cold, carrying an inherent eeriness.

Bai Zhaowei countered again; she was no longer just being serious, but was exerting her full effort.

Her face turned pale, and an indescribable sense of despair welled up in her heart.

Li Yuan was using casual Moves to toy with her, forcing her to respond with everything she had.

The key was that it was difficult for others to understand her plight.

Furthermore, Li Yuan's casual sword Moves carried a clear intent to harm.

If she failed to block them, she wouldn't just lose the match.

She, Bai Zhaowei, would be wounded by these sword Moves.

Bai Zhaowei's sword Moves grew faster and faster, and the Sword Intent and momentum hidden within them even surpassed those she used when fighting Yan Chenzhou.

But even so, Li Yuan, holding that ordinary longsword, still handled them with ease.

No matter how foolish the surrounding onlookers were, they could now see the problem.

They couldn't understand Li Yuan's sword Moves, but they could understand Bai Zhaowei's.

She was already using exquisite sword Moves of that caliber; logically, even Yan Chenzhou would have been suppressed and the match decided.

But the current situation was that Bai Zhaowei was the one slightly on the defensive...

The people around looked at one another, hoping to get some explanation from someone else.

But at this moment, who could provide a suitable explanation?

No one understood; they only knew that this Disciple from Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy was not ordinary.

After twenty Moves, Li Yuan had no interest in entangling with her any further.

When his sword Moves appeared, they were even more tricky and bizarre.

Bai Zhaowei did not want to lose; in the next instant, she immediately unleashed her Rank Seven strength.

Suppressing one's martial Realm was a promise they only kept when they were certain of winning.

Once they felt they might lose, those previous words and promises would be selectively reconsidered.

Seeing this, Li Yuan also leaped back, a smile playing on his face.

"Speaking up for Yan Chenzhou like that, you are certainly of the same ilk."

"Have you ever taken the promises you made seriously?"

"Vowing so solemnly that you would suppress your martial Realm—what, did you suddenly forget what you said earlier?"

Li Yuan's words turned Bai Zhaowei's face ashen.

In her heart, she probably wanted to come up with many excuses, but under the current circumstances, she couldn't bring herself to say them.

Since she had already lost face, she might as well just see it through.

Gritting her teeth, Bai Zhaowei struck instantly.

Unleashing the full strength of the Early Stage of Rank Seven, she would surely face much ridicule after this.

But no matter what, she had to win the match first.

If she used Rank Seven strength and still lost the match, it would be even more humiliating.

As she moved, Liang Duqiu and another Senior Brother quickly asked the City Lord's Manor to uphold justice.

However, the City Lord's Manor never interfered in such agreed-upon duels.

Most of the people around chose to watch the spectacle, hoping the commotion would grow even larger.

Li Yuan was not panicked, still outwardly displaying the strength of the Rank Four Realm.

Yet every single Move and form pointed directly at Bai Zhaowei's weaknesses.

So what if she was in the Rank Seven Realm? Her understanding of sword Moves was far from enough.

The Rank Seven Realm was not enough to allow her to completely ignore Li Yuan's sword Moves.

She was not a Rank Nine, nor had she transcended into another higher Realm.

Those sword Moves could still wound her.

Facing her offensive after she revealed her Rank Seven strength, Li Yuan's counters became even more exquisite.

Bai Zhaowei even felt that Li Yuan's strength at this moment had more than doubled.

Had he still been holding back while pushing her to the brink just now...?

The sword's edge flickered incessantly, and every time it paused, it pointed straight at her weakness.

Bai Zhaowei grew more and more panicked, her expression becoming increasingly unsightly.

She wanted to focus on responding, but she no longer had the strength to do so.

The words she had spoken earlier kept flashing through her mind.

Just moments ago, she had insulted Li Yuan beyond recognition.

Seeing that she had nothing new to offer, Li Yuan stopped wasting time.

The Nine Nether Azure Sword slashed out, the edge leaving a sword wound directly on her sword-wielding wrist.

In the next instant, the blade came to rest on her shoulder.

The match between Li Yuan and Bai Zhaowei was over.

The final result was beyond the expectations of all the onlookers.

Bai Zhaowei, who had just defeated Yan Chenzhou, had actually lost...

Li Yuan glanced around the circle, and seeing that no one had any doubts, he finally sheathed the sword.

He then returned the sword to the guard.

A sword that could hardly be considered high-quality had been used by Li Yuan to defeat Bai Zhaowei.

The garden was now silent to the extreme.

Everyone's gaze shifted back and forth between Li Yuan and Bai Zhaowei.

As bystanders watching the excitement, they were naturally extremely satisfied with this result.

Events were heading in an unexpected direction.

And next, there would be even more excitement to witness.

"Bai Family Fairy, do you still need to make excuses regarding the outcome of this match?"

"If you're not convinced, we can fight another round."

Li Yuan looked at Bai Zhaowei and spoke quite calmly.

With strength as a foundation, there was no need for much anxiety or worry.

If someone wasn't satisfied with the result, then they would just fight again.

Bai Zhaowei's face was gloomy; she likely wanted to argue back, but what could she say?

She knew very well that Li Yuan's strength was far greater than hers.

Even greater than Yan Chenzhou's.

The Yan Family's desire to have Li Yuan serve as a Drug Trial subject for Yan Chenzhou was truly a sign of their blindness and idiocy.

What Bai Zhaowei wanted to know more now was just how far Li Yuan's true strength had reached.

As for helping Yan Chenzhou fight for the Drug Trial eligibility, she knew she had overthought things.

Seeing that Bai Zhaowei remained silent, Li Yuan turned his gaze to the side, looking at Yan Chenzhou.

"This Fairy surnamed Bai has lost. I wonder if you accept this result."

"If you don't, then I'll give you a chance. Come up now and fight me."

"Lest people like you find some strange excuses later to back out of your word."
