91: Chapter 91 It seems you've lost!

This move consumes a great deal of Internal Energy.

Had it been before she stepped into the Zizai Realm, she would have been exhausted after ten-odd breaths at most.

But now, amidst the dancing spear shadows, the True Qi shield was not only exceptionally thick but even showed signs of continuous thickening.

It was almost comparable to the body-protection techniques of the Buddhist Zizai Heart Bell practiced to its limit...

"I truly underestimated you."

Li Hanyi looked at Sikong Qianluo's layered True Qi barriers and sighed softly.

"Of course! I, Sikong Qianluo, am very formidable. I am Teacher's favorite Disciple!"

Hearing the praise, Sikong Qianluo immediately puffed out her chest, her face full of pride as the words tumbled out.

Li Hanyi, whose expression had been relatively calm, saw her face darken instantly upon hearing this.

Favorite Disciple?

Looking at the smug Sikong Qianluo, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Li Hanyi's mouth.

As soon as that smile appeared, Sikong Qianluo's heart tightened.

She instantly recalled one thing—

In her Senior Sister's heart, what mattered most was their Master's opinion of her.

She didn't care about other things; even if Qianluo was occasionally mischievous, she wouldn't mind too much.

But the one thing she could not do was say "Master loves me most" in front of her.

Otherwise, one would suffer greatly during a spar.

In the martial arts hall, almost everyone except Wang Yuyan had suffered for this.

Even the usually steady Xu Weixiong had been baited by her into saying something similar.

At this moment, Li Hanyi stood tall, watching Sikong Qianluo as she continued to thicken her shield.

"You should remember this sword strike, right? I performed it when I challenged the hall back then."

Upon hearing this, the scene immediately surfaced in Sikong Qianluo's mind—

In front of the Jinyang Martial Arts Hall, that heaven-shaking sword strike soared straight into the clouds, as if to pierce the stars.

After that strike, the entire city was filled with floating blue light particles, like fragments of stars falling upon the mortal world.

At this time, the internal breath within Li Hanyi's body slowly emerged, wrapping around her like a light veil and glowing with a faint blue light.

Even someone who knew nothing of martial arts could clearly see this phenomenon.

The internal breath gradually gathered, finally condensing onto the hanguang sword in her hand.

The sword blade, which was originally hard to perceive, was now slowly lighting up with a faint blue Brilliance.

Although the Cheng Ying Sword was a famous sword, it was not suitable for her.

But the hanguang sword seemed to be tailor-made for her.

At this moment, she was like holding a sharp blade condensed from starlight.

With a light swing of the sword, bits of blue light scattered, like stars falling into the human world.

Sikong Qianluo's face turned so dark it was almost dripping.

Although she had already thickened this world-shaking True Qi barrier to its limit,

The moment Li Hanyi drew her longsword, the overwhelming sense of lethal pressure still made the hair on Sikong Qianluo's body stand on end.

She vaguely felt that this layer of True Qi barrier might not be able to block Li Hanyi's strike.

One had to know that Song Jinyang's previous powered-up saber strike had a power almost comparable to the Heaven Realm Fuyao.

But even so, Li Hanyi had ultimately shattered the jinyang saber with a single strike, killing him on the spot.

So, how long could she, Sikong Qianluo, hold out?

At this thought, she no longer hesitated and fiercely launched her offensive.

She knew Li Hanyi's personality all too well.

Moreover, after those words left her mouth, she realized she would provoke the other's anger.

Li Hanyi had always been a woman of few words and would only confront things head-on.

Then she would use that move!

Sikong Qianluo leaped into the air, and the surrounding temperature plummeted instantly.

"It's that move!"

Recognizing her movements, someone in the spectating crowd immediately cried out in surprise.

Li Hanyi indeed did not stop her, allowing Sikong Qianluo to condense the cold air.

This time, the speed at which the cold mist condensed was even faster than when she defeated Ximen Chuixue.

The icy mist churned, condensing into the massive prototype of an ice spear.

Sikong Qianluo grit her teeth, stepped onto the ice spear, and soared into the air.

The ice spear began to descend, and her figure instantly flashed to the tail of the spear, her hands and feet striking in a cross pattern to kick and accelerate the ice spear's fall.

Meanwhile, the ice spear continued to absorb the cold air from the atmosphere, growing larger and larger.

The phoenix blood spear was raised high and slammed heavily against the tail end of the ice spear.

The massive ice spear's speed suddenly increased, its tip piercing through the air and tearing it apart, stirring up wisps of white mist.

Carrying the momentum of thunder, it smashed down directly toward the top of Li Hanyi's head.

Even though everyone had seen it once and was mentally prepared,

The momentum this time still left everyone in the stands deeply shocked.

The last time she fought Ximen Chuixue, it was Sikong Qianluo's first time using this move, and the ice spear had simply been in free fall.

But this time, she actively applied force to accelerate it, and the ice spear continued to expand as it fell, doubling its power.

The shock of the scene was many times stronger than the battle in the morning.

At this moment, the people on the sidelines couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Li Hanyi.

After all, everyone had seen the outcome of Ximen Chuixue's head-on clash.

He hadn't shown his face until now, presumably having been seriously injured.

Could Li Hanyi withstand this strike, which was even stronger than the one Ximen Chuixue faced?

Everyone held their breath.

At this moment, Li Hanyi's figure appeared incredibly tiny before the massive ice spear.

Yin Luoxia, Mu Liangyue, and the others nervously clenched their hands, standing in place without daring to take their eyes off the field for a moment.

Wang Yuyan subconsciously reached for the peerless sword casket. The casket had just opened a crack with a soft click.

"Don't panic, your Senior Sister can handle it."

Su Rui's voice slowly rang out, his tone calm yet seemingly carrying a certain magic that instantly steadied everyone.

Since Teacher said so, then everything must be fine.

The sword casket closed, and Wang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, her tense face relaxing slightly.

Yue Qing, standing behind Su Rui, watched the earth-shaking scene in the field, her gaze somewhat dazed.

Only at this moment did she truly realize how big a mistake she had made.

Once, she actually thought this martial arts hall was just a group of people with superficial skills.

Even after she was defeated, she hadn't taken these people seriously.

But after seeing Sikong Qianluo's Awakening Concept and her defeat of Ximen Chuixue in the morning's battle, she had begun to waver.

And now, this duel between Disciples had completely shattered her judgment.

These people were not comparable to ordinary people at all; they were like monsters!

At this age, how could they possess such terrifying strength?

Gazing at the attack that seemed like the heavens and earth were collapsing, Yue Qing's mind was in a state of chaos.

Just as she was feeling unsettled, Li Hanyi finally moved.

Her figure flashed, instantly appearing beneath the ice spear.

The hanguang sword in her hand pointed directly at the spear's tip.

Sword against spear—it was originally a contest of strength and skill.

But now, the disparity in their sizes was almost despair-inducing.

From a distance, Li Hanyi's figure was almost unrecognizable beneath the ice spear.

But at the moment the sword and spear collided, the massive ice spear seemed to come to an instantaneous halt.

"Shattering Star!"

A cold shout rang out, as chilling as frost to the bone.

Immediately following, a deep blue sword light fiercely pierced through the ice spear.

Along with this brilliant light, Li Hanyi's figure suddenly appeared at the end of the blue light, standing in mid-air.

Before the massive ice spear could even touch the ground, it was already covered with dense cracks in the air, followed by a "boom" as it exploded.

Shattered ice flew everywhere, drifting through the air like snowflakes, interspersed with dots of blue light, as if a galaxy were falling into the human world.

Even in broad daylight, this scene was clearly visible.

Sikong Qianluo, still suspended in mid-air, was stunned.

A strand of black hair by her temple had been cut off and was slowly drifting down with the wind.

"It seems you've lost."

Li Hanyi turned around and landed lightly on the ground, speaking softly as she passed by Sikong Qianluo.

Sikong Qianluo pouted slightly.

"If I lost, I lost. Why did you cut my hair? It looks so bad now."

She grumbled, her figure also slowly descending.

Li Hanyi had just landed when she heard this. Her foot slipped, and she almost lost her balance.

She looked back at Sikong Qianluo.

Sure enough, a section of the hair by her temple had been neatly sliced off, making it look somewhat asymmetrical.

Sikong Qianluo flew off the stage in a huff, landing beside Su Rui after a few flashes.

"Teacher!"

She tossed the phoenix blood spear to Mu Liangyue and gripped Su Rui's arm tightly with both hands.

"Look at Senior Sister, she cut my hair. Now it doesn't look good anymore."

As she spoke, she began to act spoiled again.

Li Hanyi, who followed closely behind, had a slight freeze in her expression, momentarily unsure of what to say.

After all, what she said was the truth.

Su Rui was shaken by her and felt a bit helpless, so he reached out and pushed her small hands away.

Looking at her current appearance, it indeed looked a bit strange.

He reached out his hand, cold air condensed, and an ice mirror appeared in his palm.

He gently tidied the hair by her temple and handed the ice mirror to her.

"See how it looks now."

A hint of doubt flashed in Sikong Qianluo's eyes as she looked down at the reflection in the mirror.

Originally, the hair on both sides was of different lengths, but now it appeared exceptionally harmonious.

Although the hairstyle was slightly unusual, it made her face look even smaller and more playful and cute.

She examined it carefully for a few moments, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. Her pouting mouth slowly relaxed, and she held the ice mirror, unwilling to put it down.

Countless people around the Jingwu Platform were watching this scene and naturally took it all in.

Everyone was momentarily speechless.

What time was this?

It was clearly the critical moment when the final victory was decided.

Yet these people were chatting like they were at home, with no sense of tension at all.

One had to know, what was being competed for this time were the Great Chun Skill and the jade dew essence pill.

Did these people really not care at all?

It seemed they were actually arguing because of a problem with a Disciple's hair.

This contrast left everyone unsure of what expression to make for a moment.

In the distance, Sikong Changfeng watched this scene. Seeing his daughter acting spoiled beside Su Rui, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

But there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, his daughter was safe and sound. Although she had lost a few strands of hair, she was fine.

Li Hanyi's strike just now was truly too shocking; even he wasn't sure if he could take it head-on.

And the opponent had achieved it while being in a lower Realm than himself.

Not only that, she had also mastered her own Concept, even though she hadn't comprehended it for long.

Sikong Changfeng sighed softly and slowly stood up.

At this moment, crystalline ice flowers and dots of blue light once again drifted above the Jingwu Platform.

This familiar scene reminded many people of the star-like light that fell from the sky and covered the entire city a few days ago.
