All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 181 Someone come and feed Young Master Lu.
The month has passed, and it's the fifteenth again.

The three battles between Dugu Yihe and Ximen Chuixue have become the talk of the martial arts world.

Tonight is the night of the full moon, and the Forbidden City is once again filled with martial arts enthusiasts, awaiting the start of the great battle.

But as time ticked by, the martial arts practitioners in the audience grew anxious.

"Why hasn't Dugu Yihe arrived yet? Is he perhaps afraid?"

"If you ask me, he was definitely scared. I should have bet on Dugu Yihe fleeing without a fight; I could have gotten twenty times the odds!"

"Although Ximen Chuixue lost the first two battles against Dugu Yihe, it's clear to everyone that Ximen Chuixue's momentum has been stronger lately. Not only has his swordsmanship improved remarkably, but he's also the only college student who has mastered the 'spiritual victory technique'!"

"On the other hand, although Dugu Yihe also learned the 'Nine Dragons External Alchemy Skill' and rebuilt his body into a strong physique at the age of seventy, his swordsmanship has not improved much and is obviously not as strong as Ximen Chuixue's. In the end, the 'spiritual victory method' prevailed in the clash between these two top new-style martial arts."

"Yes. I heard that Ximen Chuixue now has the title of Sword Saint, and is no longer the Sword God he used to be."

"Sword Saint?! To call oneself a saint is a bit too arrogant. Even the Heavenly Mystery Prince, who brings blessings to the martial world, didn't dare to call himself a saint."

"It's not the sainthood of a saint, but the victory of a victor! Because Ximen Chuixue always first mentally defeats his enemy, it's called 'Sword Victory'!"

On the other side, the most central VIP seats,

Wang Gan, along with Gongsun Lan and the others, watched the battle. While watching, Wang Gan enjoyed the fruit that Shangguan Feiyan fed him, feeling quite content.

"Has Dugu Yihe been absent for so long? Could he have died from seclusion?!"

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but speak up.
"They might be taking a shower."

Wang Gan shrugged.

"After all, Dugu Yihe stayed in a room for a whole month just to prevent Ximen Chuixue from finding his winning point in advance and following in Ye Gucheng's footsteps."

Lu Xiaofeng's lips twitched.

"But if we don't come for so long, Ximen Chuixue will probably find several 'winning points' again."

"The situation will become increasingly unfavorable for Dugu Yihe."

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

"I don't think so."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Wang Gan in surprise.
"You think Dugu Yihe will win? What new trump card did you teach him?"

Wang Gan shook his head.

"There are only so many new martial arts techniques, and Dugu Yihe has indeed reached a bottleneck. I don't have much to teach him."

"He only had some discussions with me about martial arts before he went into seclusion."

"It makes me feel that Dugu Yihe is not without a chance of winning."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned.
"And so mysteriously. A month isn't even enough time to practice the Nine Dragons Technique. How can you possibly improve?"

"In my opinion, Ximen Chuixue's martial arts skills have reached the top three of the weapon rankings. If he accumulates enough mental strength, even the old man Wu Ming is not someone he cannot fight."

"Dugu Yihe will most likely suffer a crushing defeat this time."

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

"you sure?"

Lu Xiaofeng was very certain.
“I’ve made two mistakes already, and Ximen Chuixue has lost twice, but this time I will never make the same mistake again.”

"If I make a mistake again this time, I will..."

"You're going to give Xue Bing to me?!"

Wang Gan gasped.
"roll!"

Lu Xiaofeng glared at Wang Gan.
"I'll just eat the ribbon in my hand!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Gan shook his head and sighed.

"Lu Xiaofeng, if you're craving something, you can just say so. You don't have to beat around the bush like this."

The crowd below the stage suddenly fell silent.
"Dugu Yihe has arrived!"

As Dugu Yihe gracefully arrived, he confronted Ximen Chuixue on the rooftop.

It was somewhat strange that, perhaps due to his seclusion, Dugu Yihe appeared to have become thinner than before.

"You're late, to avoid my wrath."

Ximen Chuixue said calmly,
"I'm a little disappointed."

Dugu Yihe laughed.
"Then you can use my lateness as your 'winning point'."

Ximen Chuixue's lips curled up.

"I had already accumulated seven 'winning points' before you arrived."

"My 'mental victory technique' has been perfected. Even if you go into seclusion for a month, I can easily find more than ten winning points."

"You are no match for me. In this decisive battle, I will avenge my defeat."

Dugu Yihe was equally calm, as if he were already prepared to die.

"Then give it a try."

A great war is about to break out.
Ximen Chuixue drew his sword first.

Keng!
With a sword coming from the west, Ximen Chuixue's swordsmanship is now like a cold star descending from the western sky.

It's not just about speed, but also about the inescapable swordsmanship spirit it embodies.

The scorching light, seemingly slow, is actually fast.

It's like when you see a shooting star streak across the sky, it may have already fallen to the ground.

When you see Ximen Chuixue's sword light, he may have been dead for a long time.

A pale, icy sword intent spread, instantly enveloping the entire hall!

Dugu Yihe also made a move, arriving first despite being the last to move, demonstrating great skill in a seemingly clumsy manner!

The ancient, unadorned sharpness of the Wuji Blade burst forth, striking the air and transforming into layers of air waves, like pillars of heaven falling, carrying immense power! With nine dragons surrounding him, his overwhelming force was unstoppable!
With this single move, Dugu Yihe has surpassed the original Mu Daoren and Gong Jiu, reaching the pinnacle of the world and shattering the shackles of his inevitable death!

Unfortunately, he encountered Ximen Chuixue.

The sword god in this original work is a character whose luck and talent are comparable to the protagonist.

"Too weak, Dugu Yihe."

"Your defeat is already sealed."

Ximen Chuixue spoke calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharpness of the sword tip suddenly grew another three inches, dazzlingly bright!
Ximen Chuixue wasn't lying when he said that; he genuinely believed he had won, which triggered the effect of his mental victory strategy!

Boo!
The aura surrounding Dugu Yihe was completely destroyed by this seemingly ordinary thrust!
Like a popped bubble!

call out!
Ximen Chuixue's expression changed, and the longsword in his hand, which was sure to hit, actually missed its mark!
Looking up, Dugu Yihe turned into a cloud of mist, and what was actually pierced was the afterimage of Dugu Yihe!

When did this happen! ?

Ximen Chuixue's vigilance instantly rose to its limit, and he slashed to the right almost instinctively!

铿.
A sickening metallic scraping sound rang out as Dugu Yihe reappeared, wielding the Wuji Blade, clashing against Ximen Chuixue's longsword with a meaningful smile.

"Your speed"

"And internal energy..."

Ximen Chuixue's face showed utter shock.
The two swords clashed, causing them to tremble violently.

What kind of skill is this that can make Dugu Yihe's speed and internal energy increase to such an extent in just one month that even he has to take a step back!

"Is it a new martial art that you've been researching, young master?"

Ximen Chuixue frowned deeply.

Did that guy sneak into our base again?

That's not right. Before this, he had secretly passed Gong Jiu's woman, Shaman, to Wang Gan, just to prevent Dugu Yihe from using underhanded tactics again!

"No"

Dugu Yihe gently shook his head.
"I used the kung fu that you taught me long ago."

Ximen Chuixue's brows furrowed even more.
He was also a college graduate with excellent grades. What kung fu in Tianji Tower was there that he didn't know?
"Do you still remember the article you wrote in the thirty-seventh issue of the Heavenly Secrets Gazette, when you were still writing it, young master?"

Dugu Yihe sighed.

"you are right."

Ximen Chuixue's eyes widened suddenly, his expression complex, a mixture of admiration and disbelief.

"Indeed, discarding the yang and preserving the yin, the transformation of heaven and man!"

"That article discusses the additional advantages that come with castration when practicing martial arts."

Dugu Yihe continued speaking,
"Young Master Tianji mentioned that eunuchs, due to their yin-yang balance, have an easier time cultivating internal energy than pure men or women."

"It is even easier to enter the legendary 'transformation of heaven and man' of the ultimate balance of yin and yang."

"Moreover, after castration, internal energy can travel along certain special meridian pathways, increasing its circulation speed several times over!"

"But before castration, circulating these meridians will stimulate the yang energy, causing the whole body to feel extremely hot, and may even lead to qi deviation and demonic possession."

Ximen Chuixue took a deep breath, hesitated, and then spoke.
"So you put yourself..."

Dugu Yihe said calmly,

"It's just a tiny thing, an inch or two in size."

"Compared to the path of martial arts, it's nothing at all."

"Besides, at my age, what use am I anymore?"

hiss.
Upon hearing Dugu Yihe's words, all the martial arts practitioners present felt a chill run down their spines.

"Dugu Yihe, what a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"Even more ruthless than a ruthless person."

Lu Xiaofeng tightened his belt, the chill seeping down on him and soaking him through.

"So you knew about this all along?"

Wang Gan sighed.

“That’s right. Before he went into seclusion, he asked me about the ‘transformation of heaven and man’.”

"But I haven't tested this theory myself."

"It has to be said that Dugu Yihe's actions involved an element of gambling."

Jin Yong and Gu Long... Heaven knows if their martial arts styles are the same. Wang Gan was also struggling with writing when he was trying to publish the Heavenly Secrets Report. After some experimentation, he managed to publish a new issue of the Heavenly Secrets Report.

Who knew Dugu Yihe would be so ruthless, managing to dig up and use this!

"But he won the bet, and I lost."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed.
"It's alright, I've already prepared the ribbon for you."

Wang Gan had a look on his face that said, "You're getting off easy."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

"What are you doing? Even if I'm going to eat a ribbon, I'll only eat the one I'm holding!"

Wang Gan clapped his hands, and Sikong Zhaixing and Mu Daoren came up with a plate, both of them grinning mischievously. The plate was decorated with ribbons.

I was just worried you wouldn't have enough to eat.

"Someone come here! Feed Young Master Lu some ribbon!"
