320: Sibling showdown

She wanted to help him regain his confidence, which was why she was personally guiding him.

As long as this younger brother of hers could defeat her, his elder sister, he would be able to truly grow up.

Looking at it now, he had indeed grown a lot along this journey. She didn't know what he had experienced on the road to cause such a significant change.

Furthermore, his strength had broken through to the Divine Roaming Profound Realm, only one Realm below her own.

Of course, that Realm was not so easily reached, but this was already a very good start.

She was also somewhat curious about what exactly her younger brother had gone through on this trip.

However, she would ask him what was going on after they finished the fight.

“Master, I know my Realm is inferior to yours, but I will use my strongest move. We shall decide the victor in a single strike.” Lei Wujie stared intently at Li Hanyi.

“Good. Let me see to what extent you have cultivated that move.” Li Hanyi nodded.

This brother of hers did have talent for cultivation, but he just wouldn't practice properly; he only thought about Breakthroughs and not about stabilizing his Foundation.

Little did he know, if the Foundation was not firm, his future achievements would ultimately be limited.

To go further on the path of the Martial Dao, one must have a solid base.

Today was also the time to test his strength.

Moonlight over Flowers and Morning Tears

This was Lei Wujie's strongest strike in the Sword Dao, and it was also taught to him by his Master.

Watching Lei Wujie perform Moonlight over Flowers and Morning Tears, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Hanyi's mouth.

Although he hadn't reached Complete Mastery yet, he could be considered to have attained a decent level of proficiency.

“Not bad. It seems you haven't slacked off during this time. However, if it's only at this level, it's still not enough.” Li Hanyi looked at Lei Wujie with a calm tone.

“Whether it's enough or not, we'll only know after the fight.” Lei Wujie stared intently at Li Hanyi, the aura on his body growing stronger and stronger.

When it reached its peak, he suddenly slashed out with the twin swords in his hands.

Instantly, the surrounding scene seemed to change as peach blossom petals drifted down.

These were not real peach blossoms, but were formed from strands of Sword Qi; any Mortal who touched them would surely die.

Li Hanyi watched quietly as Lei Wujie performed the move. Only after the strike was fully unleashed did Li Hanyi gently slash out with her sword.

In an instant, the surrounding environment returned to normal, but all the structures on the entire sixteenth floor were shattered by the aftershocks of this clash.

“Passable, but you are still a bit lacking in focus.”

“With the chaotic times approaching, the Lei Family needs you to support it. This bit of strength is not enough,” Li Hanyi said calmly.

“I know that. I have been working hard,” Lei Wujie said, panting for breath.

“In that case, let's see if you can withstand this sword strike of mine.” Li Hanyi gave a cold snort and instantly slashed out.

Moonlight over Flowers and Morning Tears. Instantly, Lei Wujie felt a crisis of death envelop him.

Lei Wujie did not dare to be careless. His mind was highly focused as he stared intently at Li Hanyi's movements.

Although he also knew the move Moonlight over Flowers and Morning Tears, seeing his Master perform it now gave him a feeling of being completely flawless.

He simply couldn't find a single opening, and moreover, he could not dodge this move.

Since he couldn't dodge, he could only block with all his might.

Lei Wujie's eyes instantly turned blood-red as he directly executed the Twin Sword Technique, circulating the sha bu sword and ting yu sword simultaneously.

In an instant, a powerful and terrifying Sword Intent filled the entire sixteenth floor and even began to leak outwards.

This powerful Sword Intent surprised all the Sword Dao Masters near the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. One by one, they looked toward the top floor.

“What a powerful Sword Intent. Could it be that Lei Wujie has already reached the top?”

“It's possible. This Sword Intent is coming from the top floor.”

“It looks like the winner is about to be decided. I wonder if this Lei Wujie can win.”

Duan Zhengchun remembered that in this battle, the two of them seemed to have destroyed a third of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, slicing it directly in half with powerful Sword Intent.

He just didn't know if the same situation would occur this time.

Under this powerful and terrifying sword technique, Lei Wujie felt the threat of death, and his Internal Energy circulated frantically throughout his body.

This time, his Internal Energy circulated at an unprecedented speed. The residual Internal Energy from the dà huán dān in his body was also drawn out and rapidly fused.

With a furious roar, he used both the sha bu sword and ting yu sword to execute Moonlight over Flowers and Morning Tears. Suddenly, two terrifying Sword Intents capable of destroying heaven and earth erupted, directly meeting Li Hanyi's attack.

“Buzz...”

The two terrifying Sword Intents collided. Li Hanyi's Sword Intent directly shattered Lei Wujie's and charged toward him.

At this moment, Lei Wujie felt the threat of death.

“Ah...”

Lei Wujie roared toward the sky, holding the sha bu sword and ting yu sword horizontally in front of him, intending to take the blow head-on.

“Buzz...”

The surrounding space hummed, and Lei Wujie froze on the spot.

In that instant, he felt that he was only a split second away from death.

It was also in that instant that the residual medicinal power of the dà huán dān in his body was completely triggered.

He broke through. That's right, at the final moment, he broke through to the Grandmaster Peak, only one step away from the Heavenly Human Realm.

However, even so, he still couldn't block that sword strike. But the strike didn't cause him any harm either.

On the contrary, it gave him a deeper insight into Moonlight over Flowers and Morning Tears.

At the critical moment, Li Hanyi had held back, gently changing the trajectory of the Sword Qi so it grazed past Lei Wujie.

However, while this strike didn't harm Lei Wujie, the entire Ascending Heaven Pavilion bore the brunt of its destructive power.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the entire Ascending Heaven Pavilion was like dry weeds before a scythe, with a third of it being sliced off directly.

In the end, the Ascending Heaven Pavilion bore it all.

When Lei Wujie came to his senses, he couldn't help but glance behind him. Seeing the terrifying destructive power, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

“Although your strength has improved significantly compared to before, it's still not enough, and your sword techniques are not proficient enough.”

“You're not a child anymore; it's time to settle down.” Li Hanyi looked at Lei Wujie with a calm tone.

“I didn't expect that even though I'm now in the Divine Roaming Profound Realm, I'm still no match for you.”

“Sister...”

Lei Wujie looked at Li Hanyi with a complex expression, finally confirming the suspicion he had long held in his heart.

The Master before him, wearing a mask and sporting two small mustaches, was the Second City Lord of Xueyue City, the Xueyue Sword Immortal Li Hanyi.

Hearing Lei Wujie suddenly call her sister, Li Hanyi's whole body trembled.

She hadn't expected her younger brother to discover her identity so quickly.

Li Hanyi didn't speak; she simply took off her mask and looked at her own younger brother with a complex expression.

“I originally thought I had hidden it well. I didn't expect you to find out so soon.” Li Hanyi looked at Lei Wujie with a gentle tone.

“From the very first moment I saw you, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.”

“Furthermore, I am very clear about my own talent. Although I have some, it would never be enough to make a top-tier Master take me as a disciple and carefully guide my sword techniques.”

“Even though you acted cold every time, the concern that inadvertently leaked out could not be hidden.”
