Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 883 Just click it
This seemingly humble gesture is actually a deadly move; if you're going to engage in a battle of wits, then go all the way.

Sure enough, Xiaoqing stood on the crest of the wave, her expression shifting unpredictably, her golden eyes trembling violently, and she froze in place like a snake struck at its vital point.

How could she compose a poem on the spot?!
My mind flashed back to the blood and tears of my years of battling with poetry: initially, I "supplied" my work to someone surnamed Xu; later, I secretly asked a student at the academy to write for me; and finally, I gritted my teeth and figured it out on my own. Although I've made significant progress, the current situation... I'm simply powerless to cope!

"I...that..." Xiaoqing's lips trembled for a long time, and her usual doggerel such as "the number one demon" and "dominant in Jiangnan" were completely inadequate at this moment.

In the poetic duel, Xiaoqing suffered a crushing defeat.

At that moment, she seemed to hear the sound of her literary reputation collapsing.

But then an unprecedented fighting spirit surged forth from the bottom of his heart.

If you say she's not good at fighting, she won't get angry. There are too many experts in the cultivation world, and it's normal to be inferior to them. But if you say her opening poem is bad, that would be a great humiliation that would keep her up for three days and three nights!
"Xu! Xuan!" Xiaoqing's demonic power erupted, and her golden eyes blazed with fierce flames.

See how their fighting spirit has been ignited?

Even Li Yingqi, who was watching from the sidelines, turned pale, clearly deeply engrossed in the battle.

What if Yu Yingnan pulls this tactic when we spar... What a vicious strategy.

Bai Suzhen sighed, rubbing her forehead: "...Are you all crazy?"

She simply couldn't understand how a perfectly good sparring match had turned into a battle of wits. But seeing her sister's desperate stance, she couldn't help but smile.

It works really well.

"Why bother with all this fancy stuff when fellow disciples are sparring!" Xiaoqing roared, her golden eyes flashing with lightning. "Who recites poetry before a fight! Today, I'm here to avenge the humiliation I suffered at your hands three years ago!"

Xu Xuan almost burst out laughing upon hearing this, but to save face for the other party, he secretly added insult to injury using telepathic communication: "Sect Leader Qing is mistaken. It's not the shame of defeat, it's the shame of being kicked away by me~"

"boom--"

Li Yingqi and Bai Suzhen, who were watching the battle, saw Xiaoqing suddenly emit white smoke, and the entire snake instantly turned red and broke through its defenses!

His golden eyes turned crimson, and his spiritual energy surged wildly, creating a violent tornado on the sea surface.

"drink!!!"

Xiaoqing summoned her full set of armor, which covered her body in azure scale armor, and even her hair was wrapped in azure lightning.

She took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius was instantly drawn into a vacuum, causing lightning and thunder to flash between the sea and the sky.

"You surnamed Xu!" Xiaoqing said, each word carrying the force of thunder, "Watch! Fight!"

Xu Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile, and a golden glint flashed in his eyes.

"Today I'll teach this little monster a good lesson!" he thought to himself, and the pure Buddhist light around him suddenly erupted.

A dazzling golden statue rose from the East China Sea, illuminating the entire sea area with a golden glow.

Her fair skin and jade-like bones shone brightly, and her human blood and energy swirled like a dragon.

Apart from retaining the power of the Eight Dragon Kings and the Five Bright Kings, Xu Xuan had already mobilized seventy percent of his physical body's power.

The special effects were pushed to the extreme when this punch was thrown.

"boom!"

Golden light surged like a tide, drawing a dazzling horizon between the sea and the sky.

Wherever the fist passed, space twisted and deformed, carrying an invincible power, yet containing countless subtle changes, making it impossible to predict its trajectory.

Faced with this devastating attack, Xiao Qing remained calm and even mimicked Xu Xuan's wicked smile.

She remembered clearly that Xu Xuan, with the triple blessing of immortal skin and bones, human bloodline, and Buddhist Pure Land, actually surpassed her, a demon, in pure physical strength.

This completely violates the natural order and common sense. How could the human body be stronger than that of the demon race?
It's not based on supernatural powers or magical forms like the sixteen-foot golden body; it's just a pure mortal body!
But these days are different!
"Look carefully!" Xiao Qing shouted, her demonic power instantly surging.

Jade-like scales appeared on her right arm, each scale exuding an ancient and chaotic aura. At first glance, they bore a striking resemblance to the power of Bai Suzhen when she unleashed her full power.

"clang--!!!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the East China Sea.

The instant fist and palm collided, golden and azure light intertwined and exploded, transforming into a rain of light that fell from the sky. The violent shockwave blasted a giant crater a thousand feet in diameter into the sea, which took a long time to recover from.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a shocking scene appeared.

The two were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand in the slightest!
A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Xuan's eyes, which then turned into admiration: "You little snake, you're quite interesting."

Xiaoqing proudly raised her chin: "Now you know how powerful this Great King is, right?"

The battle intensified, a hard-fought clash that shook the entire East China Sea!
Xiaoqing fought with increasing ferocity, her punches and kicks swift and powerful. The psychological pressure she had placed on Xu Xuan completely dissipated, replaced by a fierce determination to never give up.

Although she was still at a disadvantage overall, her counterattacks were becoming increasingly fierce, and even showed signs of a counter-offensive.

Xu Xuan was genuinely surprised.

How come this little monster can always keep up with me even when I'm using cheat codes?
Is it really because I have a rich woman backing me? Or am I just being carried by my protagonist aura?

He couldn't help but recall the only loot from the Dragon Palace instance: the Dragon Gate.

That thing is practically a masterpiece of genetic engineering by the ancient dragon race, transforming a small green snake into the monster it is today.

"The Dragon Lord still owes me a chance; I'll have to ask Him about it sometime..."

Xu Xuan thought to himself, "What would happen if I ate that stuff? Wouldn't I have to go toe-to-toe with Bai Suzhen?"

On the other side, Xiaoqing became more and more excited as she fought, her small fists bursting with amazing power, and she even tried to say some flirtatious things in Xu Xuan's tone.

"Xu Xuan, I've seen through your moves!"

"I will not be defeated by the same move twice."

"Today, I, the Great King, will show you what true..."

However, her repertoire of witty remarks was ultimately limited. After three and a half sentences, she ran out of words and was once again caught off guard by Xu Xuan's counterattack, causing her to break down again.

"Shut up! The strong should let their fists do the talking!!!"

The demonic power in his fist surged instantly, and when he threw the punch, the space itself distorted slightly!
Bai Suzhen, who was watching the battle, stood at the edge of the battlefield and nodded in satisfaction.

Xiaoqing's physical evolution was very comprehensive, and most importantly, it did not affect her temperament; she remained as adorable as ever.

The hand-to-hand combat had just ended when, in the blink of an eye, the clash of swords and knives had begun!

Xiaoqing flipped her hands, and the Ganjiang and Moye swords appeared in her hands. The swords gleamed coldly, and the blue and red sword energy coiled like dragons and snakes, creating a majestic aura.

These two ancient divine weapons seemed to come alive in her hands, their swords chiming clear and melodious, as if they were the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing.

On the other side, Xu Xuan slowly pulled out a broken sword from his sleeve... shorter than a dagger.

Victory over evil.

This sword, which should have been the most suitable weapon for a growing evil weapon in the world, now looks particularly shabby.

The sword was covered in cracks, dull and lifeless, and there were even several obvious signs that it had been broken and rejoined.

Alas, I entrusted my trust to the wrong person...

The Victory Sword trembled slightly, emitting a pitiful hum.

As a weapon that should have grown stronger by conquering the world and drinking blood alongside its master, it has been interrupted countless times because of its master Xu Xuan, and it has yet to recover its strength.

Now it has to face the formidable Gan Jiang and Mo Xie... It's really tough for it.

"You surnamed Xu!" Xiao Qing crossed her twin swords, her golden eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "You're going to fight me with this piece of junk?"

Xu Xuan smiled slightly: "Xiao Qing, at my level, everything in heaven and earth can be a sword."

"Clang—!" The sword's cry echoed throughout the East Sea!

Li Yingqi's eyes were shining as he stared intently at the battlefield.

In terms of cultivation level and spiritual attainment, she is still far behind, but in terms of swordsmanship alone... within the Baoan Hall, excluding the hall master and deputy hall master, she can compete with Yan Chixia for the number one spot.

She had been looking forward to this ultimate duel between the Yue Maiden Swords, especially since Master Xu's swordsmanship was extraordinary.

The realms described in "Master Xu's Sword Manual" are sometimes contradictory and sometimes incomprehensible, but the parts that can be understood are absolutely treasures of the world.

The battle begins!

"Yue Maiden Swordplay - Azure Dragon Emerges from the Sea!"

Xiao Qing let out a shout, raised both swords together, and the sword energy transformed into a giant azure dragon that soared into the sky with astonishing power.

Xu Xuan's lips curled slightly, and he flicked his Shengxie short sword: "Yue Nu Sword Technique - Wind and Cloud Union - Maha Boundless - Sword Slashes Heaven and Earth!"

"boom--!"

In the first round, Xiaoqing was defeated.

"???" Xiaoqing's golden eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Enraged, he decided to learn from the barbarians' strengths to defeat them, and immediately put Xu Xuan's fighting style into practice:
"Yue Maiden Swordplay: Dragons Battle in the Wilds, Their Blood is Black and Yellow!"

Full of momentum!

however……

"Yue Maiden Swordplay - Nine Heavens Gale Sweeps Away Clouds - One Sword Cuts Through Three Thousand Realms!"

In the second round, Xiaoqing was defeated again.

Master Xu... is really good at this.

The ensuing battle gradually evolved into a "sword naming contest".

"The Yue Maiden Sword Technique..."

"Yue Maiden Swordplay - Celestial Immortal - One Sword's Light Chills Nineteen Continents!"

"Yue Maiden Swordplay: Sun and Moon Shine Together, Mountains and Rivers Lose Their Color, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Origin!"

Regardless of the effect of the strikes, the names of the Yue Maiden Sword Technique moves resounded across the East China Sea, shining brightly.

As the names got longer and the moves got faster, it eventually became basically a game of me doing my moves while you recited yours.

The sword energy and the shouts were completely out of sync, creating an extremely bizarre scene, like a video and audio being severely out of sync, making the viewer feel uncomfortable.

But the voices of the man and woman made the creatures of the East Sea remember this sword technique—it sounded incredibly powerful. From then on, the fish and shrimp of the East Sea firmly believed:

The Yue Maiden Sword Technique must be the most outstanding martial art in the world!
Watching the game, Li Yingqi seemed to understand something and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is... The longer the name, the more handsome he is indeed."

As for what sword techniques to learn from this "high-level duel"... haha.

Bai Suzhen gazed at the battle scene and sighed softly. Her younger sister's newly awakened eyes were indeed extraordinary.

The Yue Maiden Swordplay, equally chaotic, appeared even more formidable than Xu Xuan's swordplay under the enhancement of supernatural powers, subtly conveying a sense of precognitive ability.

The gap in strength is still obvious, but to be able to fight Xu Xuan to this extent is already quite amazing.

In the instant their ultimate moves collided, a sudden burst of golden light shone brightly in Xiaoqing's eyes.

In an instant, the entire world was plunged into absolute darkness.

Not only vision, but also sound, intuition, and even all perception are completely blocked.

Xu Xuan seemed to be thrown into eternal silence, unable to even feel his own heartbeat.

"Shh!"

When the darkness faded, Xiaoqing's sword was already pressed against his throat. With a gentle touch, the pierced form vanished into a dreamlike bubble.

"That was close..." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Xu Xuan's forehead as he jumped out from a distance.

If Xiaoqing hadn't visualized Xu Bailian and left a backdoor in his soul, he wouldn't have been able to sense her approach or the passage of time, and wouldn't even have been able to move.

Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone this; it's one of his biggest secrets.

This sparring match has given us a clear understanding of Xiao Qing's current skill level, especially the special ability of her eyes.

Strong, very strong.

Darkness not only blocks the five senses, but also isolates the spiritual perception and consciousness of cultivators, and even blurs the concept of time.

If one could fully master this move, most unprepared experts in the world would likely suffer a great loss.

"Not bad." Xu Xuan sheathed the Shengxie Sword and sincerely praised, "What's this move called?"

"I haven't decided yet." Xiaoqing's face was a little pale, and there was some unwillingness in her eyes.

It's clear that this move consumed most of their energy.

"In that case, let's not play anymore."

Xu Xuan made a decision in a flash.

Continuing to fight like this won't necessarily lead to defeat, but if we get hit by a powerful attack, that would be incredibly embarrassing.

then……

"Shh!"

Suddenly, he burst forth with dazzling golden light, the brilliance condensed purely from his willpower instantly blinding Xiaoqing's golden eyes.

Taking advantage of the opponent's brief moment of distraction, Xu Xuan unhesitatingly used his most skilled dirty tactics.

"Despicable!" Xiaoqing's vision went completely white as she angrily shouted, "You've used this trick again!"

But it's too late.

While fist and foot techniques, swordsmanship, physical skills, and equipment can all compensate for deficiencies, the gap in spiritual strength and tactical awareness is a real and tangible weakness.

Xu Xuan's tactical style has always been "to achieve his goal by any means necessary." The flash was just the beginning; what followed was a series of insidious attacks.

"Boom!"

"Ouch!" Xiaoqing cried out in pain. Before she could recover from the visual disturbance, she was hit by a combo that left her dizzy and disoriented.

Xu Xuan would never miss an opportunity to kick a man when he's down.
Perfect suppression!

"Do you submit or not?" someone asked smugly.

"I refuse!" Xiaoqing struggled desperately. "If you're so capable, let's have a fair fight!"

“This is a perfectly fair and square tactic.” Xu Xuan said without batting an eye. “All's fair in war, but Master Qing still needs to hone his skills.”

Just as he was feeling smug, he suddenly noticed a cold gaze.

Turning his head, he saw Bai Suzhen quietly looking at him, her eyes filled with three parts helplessness, three parts disdain, and four parts questioning, "You bullied my sister?"

"..." Xu Xuan was immediately embarrassed, chuckled awkwardly twice and released Xiao Qing, "Ahem, it was just a friendly spar, let's stop here..."

"Let's go, let's go back home for the New Year."

"This year's Baoantang annual meeting was very lively."
