104: Chapter 104 The Heavenly Pavilion is Cracked!

The onlookers all showed puzzled expressions upon seeing this.

People nearby who had been watching were all shocked when they saw the images reflected in the mirror.

What is this thing?

It can actually show the scenes inside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion!

The figures of Sikong Changfeng and Sikong Qianluo were clearly visible.

Round Light Technique!

It was one of the methods obtained from signing in, which could barely be classified as a Daoist technique.

While not as mysterious as the legendary ability to peer across a thousand miles, reflecting nearby scenes was still feasible.

In the mirror's image, Sikong Qianluo held the phoenix blood spear, its body wrapped in biting cold air and interlaced with three-colored light. She took the initiative to attack, launching the Prairie Fire Hundred Strikes repeatedly, each strike carrying the momentum of breaking through the air.

Although Sikong Changfeng had not reached his Peak state, with a long and a short spear in hand, he easily neutralized the assault.

"It looks like Qianluo is struggling a bit."

Li Hanyi watched for a moment and said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, not only did Mu Liangyue and the others roll their eyes, but even the people watching the images from afar showed helpless expressions.

Sikong Qianluo was indeed extraordinary.

To have such cultivation at such a young age was already extremely rare.

But who was Sikong Changfeng?

The name "Spear Immortal" had already spread far and wide.

No matter how strong one's swordsmanship was, they could at most be called "one of the best."

But in the way of the spear, the universally acknowledged strongest was Sikong Changfeng alone.

This evaluation was enough to demonstrate his true strength.

Just as everyone was discussing, Sikong Qianluo in the image suddenly changed her Move.

The phoenix blood spear slashed down from above with unstoppable force.

Sikong Changfeng withdrew his spear and dodged.

The spear hit the ground, and the entire floorboard shattered with a bang.

Frost spread from the spear tip, quickly covering the entire space.

Snowflakes fluttered and ice crystals rose everywhere. As she danced, the entire space was swirled by the cold Qi, as if it were the center of a storm.

The sixteenth floor of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion became unrecognizable in an instant.

Yet Sikong Changfeng did not Move to stop her.

"Drifting Snow!"

Someone cried out in surprise.

This was a Move Sikong Qianluo had performed many times during the Grand Competition, and its power was astonishing.

Now that it was being performed in a confined pavilion, its power was even greater.

The debris and cold Qi soaring from the pavilion were the best proof.

Inside the sixteenth floor.

Sikong Changfeng quietly watched Sikong Qianluo perform the first level of the Profound Ice Spear Technique—Drifting Snow.

A hint of approval appeared in his eyes.

Although he deliberately feigned a serious expression.

"Qianluo, while clever techniques are important, remember that what truly decides victory or defeat is your own strength!"

Sikong Qianluo pursed her lips and shifted her movements.

The snowflakes formed from frost swirled towards Sikong Changfeng.

Wherever they passed, a layer of the sixteenth floor's floorboards was forcibly shaved off.

"Watch closely, this is your father's ultimate technique—White Horse, Long Spear, Whistling West Wind!"

Boom!

A sudden gust of strong wind rose, directly blowing away the spear shadows Sikong Qianluo had thrust out.

She was also swept up and thrown out of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion through the shattered window frame.

Sikong Changfeng stood frozen in place.

Oh no, I used too much force and didn't control it.

"Dad!"

His daughter's roar gave him a jolt.

Su Rui helplessly raised his hand, and a gentle force pulled the flying Sikong Qianluo back.

She looked all puffed up with anger, clearly very displeased.

Her originally neat hair bun was also messy, making her look a bit disheveled.

She walked indignantly to Mu Liangyue.

Mu Liangyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she helped her rearrange her hair ornaments.

"Senior Sister, you must give that stinky dad of mine a good lesson for me!"

"Alright!" Li Hanyi nodded seriously.

Standing by the window of the sixteenth floor, Sikong Changfeng saw that dissatisfied little Face in the pavilion below and immediately felt a headache.

He didn't know how the girl would mess with him once they got home.

But when he saw Li Hanyi leap up and fly into the pavilion, his expression suddenly tightened.

As expected, just like Sikong Qianluo, Li Hanyi was unstoppable all the way.

Leaving the pavilion-guarding Disciples with bitter smiles.

It was too demoralizing!

Quite a few people wanted to just quit.

The fifteenth floor.

Yin Luoxia was stunned when she saw Li Hanyi walking up.

They had fought before.

That time, she had suffered a bit of a loss under the Ten Thousand Swords Art and eventually became Su Rui's apprentice.

Although she wasn't dissatisfied with the current outcome.

But she didn't intend to let Li Hanyi pass easily.

"Senior Sister Hanyi, I won't hold back this time!"

"Me neither!"

Li Hanyi slightly raised the hanguang sword in her hand, a faint blue light appearing on the blade.

The ribbons around Yin Luoxia danced lightly like living things.

"Shattering Star!"

She used a killing Move right from the start.

Yin Luoxia's heart jolted, and she instinctively performed the Ascending Immortal Steps of Unrestrained Will to dodge, her snow rainbow silk quickly blocking in front of her.

As a fellow Disciple of Su Rui, Li Hanyi was not only proficient in the Ascending Immortal Steps of Unrestrained Will but had also mastered the Movement Character Secret.

The moment Yin Luoxia dodged, the hanguang sword had already struck the snow rainbow silk.

The seemingly soft silk was surprisingly tough, but as the sword's edge approached, it still forced her to dodge repeatedly.

"Waxing Moon!"

An arc of sword light suddenly slashed out, resting on Yin Luoxia's shoulder along with the snow rainbow silk.

"Did you hold back?"

Li Hanyi frowned slightly.

"No, I just didn't expect your strike to be so decisive!"

Yin Luoxia shook her head, but felt a bit guilty in her heart.

I'm sorry, even though you joined first, I won't back down for Teacher either!

Li Hanyi naturally didn't know her thoughts, otherwise there would likely be another duel.

She withdrew her sword and continued to climb upward.

Yin Luoxia watched her back, walked to the window, and looked down at Su Rui standing below, lost in thought.

The sixteenth floor.

Seeing Li Hanyi come up, Sikong Changfeng's expression sharpened.

"Did you win against Fairy Luoxia again?"

"Mm." Li Hanyi nodded indifferently.

Although Sikong Changfeng had doubts, he didn't ask much and took his long spear in hand.

"Waning Moon!"

Just as he struck a pose, Li Hanyi had already appeared beside him instantly using the Movement Character Secret.

After fighting Cannot Be Bound in Su Rui's Heavenly Palace Illusion previously, Li Hanyi understood—

When facing a stronger opponent, one must fully utilize their own advantages.

So what was her greatest strength?

Swordsmanship? Sword Intent?

Neither.

It was speed!

Sikong Changfeng looked startled. Facing the rapidly slashing hanguang sword, he barely moved his body to avoid it.

He dodged, but the Ascending Heaven Pavilion could not.

A sword light like moonlight flashed past.

The entire pavilion shook violently.

The Ascending Heaven Pavilion has cracked!

The sword light rose!

Most of the building on one side was sliced through the middle.

Baili Dongjun, who was sitting on the top floor drinking wine, stared blankly at the roof beam beside him that had been neatly sliced off.

Li Hanyi looked at this sword strike with satisfaction.

This should have reached Teacher's standard!

Teacher most likely found this Ascending Heaven Pavilion an eyesore for a long time.

As a Disciple, being able to share Teacher's burdens was naturally an inescapable responsibility.

Sikong Changfeng took a few steps back, staring blankly at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion where the crack was gradually spreading. His heart tightened, and he quickly circulated his Internal Energy, manipulating the ribbons floating around the pavilion to hold up the half of the building that was about to collapse.

Otherwise, the pavilion would likely have collapsed completely.

Only after finishing all this did he turn his head with difficulty, his eyes full of heartache and regret.

That's all silver!

Ask Li Hanyi for compensation? Forget it, it would be a miracle if she had any money!

He had already inquired earlier; when Li Hanyi first arrived at Snow Moon City, she was only wearing a single layer of clothing and carrying an iron sword on her back.

He couldn't go to Apocalypse City to find Lei Mengsha or Li Xinyue, could he?

But Lei Mengsha was currently leading an army in battle with Southern Solitude, and Li Xinyue's whereabouts were completely unknown.

Should he go to some martial arts hall to scrape some money together?

Sikong Changfeng stared blankly at Li Hanyi, his mind racing as he thought about how to pass this bill onto someone else.

But at the thought of Su Rui's always smiling Face, he suppressed the idea.

Besides, after all, he was the one fighting her, and her Realm was a level lower than his.

He had failed to defend against her Sword Qi, leading to the damage of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. If he went looking for someone to pay, where would his Face be?

He was extremely conflicted in his heart.

In another pavilion, Su Rui was quietly hiding.

Through the mirror formed by the Round Light Technique, he watched the scene of Li Hanyi's sword strike splitting the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. His body shook slightly, and his gaze immediately turned in that direction.

Sigh!

Is the fate of this Ascending Heaven Pavilion destined to be destroyed?

He had clearly reminded Li Hanyi before, but what on earth was this girl thinking?

Su Rui thought, somewhat speechless.

"Teacher, Senior Sister really did as you intended!"

Wang Yuyan spoke, her Face actually carrying a bit of excitement.

"..." Su Rui was stunned for a moment and looked at her in surprise.

The others in the pavilion also heard this, then looked at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion that had been split in two, and stared blankly at Su Rui.

"When did I ever say that?" Su Rui recalled his instructions to Li Hanyi just now; he didn't seem to have meant that.

"When ordinary people challenge the pavilion, who would actually attack the Ascending Heaven Pavilion itself? Teacher specifically reminded her; could it be because this pavilion was blocking your view?"

Mu Liangyue said softly, covering her mouth, her eyes full of smiles.

She also realized that Su Rui probably really didn't mean that, and it was Li Hanyi who had misunderstood.

Hearing her say this, Su Rui finally understood, but felt even more helpless.

Sigh, a single extra word caused this mess.

"Teacher, don't worry about it. Snow Moon City doesn't have the Face to make us pay for the repairs!" Xu Weixiong said, looking at the image in the Round Light Technique as the confrontation between Li Hanyi and Sikong Changfeng had not yet dispersed.

"Look, even Snow Moon City's official chief steward couldn't hold it; who can be blamed for this?"

Su Rui sighed and nodded.

Outside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, those preparing to climb or watching were all stunned as they witnessed that sword light flash by and the entire pavilion crack open mostly from top to bottom.

As expected of Li Hanyi!

When others challenge the pavilion, at most they defeat the guardians.

She, on the other hand, directly attacked the pavilion itself.

Is this the strength of the number one swordsman? Truly extraordinary!

Right now, these people didn't know it was Sikong Changfeng fighting Li Hanyi, but even if they did, they would likely only be more shocked.

The power of this sword strike also made Zhu Yuyan, not far away, look a bit more solemn.

"Frost Moon, Starlight, and Cold; the Concept is quite impressive. That indomitable Sword Intent actually resembles that of the Heavenly Saber." Zhu Yuyan whispered to herself, casting her gaze out the window.

She looked toward the window of the distant pavilion, watching Su Rui and the mirror-like Magical Artifact in front of him.

"To be able to teach such a Disciple, this handsome young man is not simple either."

Although she couldn't see through the specific origin of the Round Light Technique, she could tell it was a Buddhist or Daoist technique.

And her attention ultimately fell on absolute martial power.
