With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

Faced with Li Zhen's provocation, Qin Yi naturally had to satisfy her!

Li Zhen sneered, "Still acting arrogantly with me?"

"Looking at you, all you're good for is your stubborn mouth!"

Qin Yi scoffed, saying, "Some parts are even worse, but you're not qualified to feel it!"

Li Zhen's expression changed drastically again; she was extremely angry and roared, "You lecherous scoundrel, I'll make you pay!"

Qin Yi said, "Enough with the nonsense, how do you want to compete? You name it, I'm open to anything, I'm happy to play!"

Li Zhen snorted and said, "The conventional way is for the two of them to each demonstrate the Twelve Swords of Lingyin to determine who has mastered the sword technique more skillfully."

"But that would be so boring!"

"Let's put it into practice!"

"Using only the Twelve Swords of Lingyin, let's see who falls first!"

Just then, a senior male disciple sitting in the first row suddenly spoke up, saying, "Coincidentally, I have two talismans that can limit the power burst of martial artists below the Tongtian Realm."

"Using these two talismans will bring your power to the same level."

"Qin Yi is only at the Nirvana Realm. It would be unfair to him if there were no restrictions on actual combat."

Many people have heard that Qin Yi defeated Zhou Zhihao, who was at the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Even if Li Zhen is at the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, she is still completely different from Zhou Zhihao.

Even a talented young master like Li Zhen is several times stronger than Zhou Zhihao at the same cultivation level.

Moreover, Li Zhen is at the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm!

Qin Yi looked at the senior male disciple who had spoken.

Although he felt it was unnecessary to use the Twelve Swords of Lingyin for a competition, the other party had meant well after all, so Qin Yi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The man smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "No need to thank me. I just can't stand people who want to be virtuous while being a prostitute."

"Liu Qi, you've gone too far!" Huang Tianfang said angrily.

"If you're not satisfied, let's have a go after they're done," Liu Qi said nonchalantly.

Huang Tianfang immediately lost his confidence and dared not meet Liu Qi's gaze again. He lowered his voice considerably and said, "I recently suffered some backlash from my cultivation. I'll challenge you to a duel once I've recovered!"

Although Li Zhen was scolded by Liu Qi, she didn't dare to do anything.

Liu Qi is not just a high-level disciple.

Liu Qi is still a genius ranked in the middle of the Qingyun List.

The Liu family behind Liu Qi is much stronger than the Li family.

"Then I'll use your talisman!" Li Zhen agreed.

Even if the two were at the same level of power, she was confident that she could completely suppress Qin Yi with the Twelve Swords of Lingyin.

After all, she had already cultivated the Twelve Swords of Lingyin to a very high level!

The next moment, Liu Qi raised his hand and waved.

Two talismans landed on Qin Yi and Li Zhen respectively.

The two talismans emitted light.

Qin Yi immediately felt that his own power was somewhat restricted, probably suppressed by about 80%.

Li Zhen's power was also suppressed to the same level as Qin Yi's.

"Qin Yi, come and fight!" Li Zhen didn't want to waste any more time. She seemed impatient and flew out to the area of ​​the square where there were no prayer mats.

Qin Yi casually took a step, and in a flash, he stood directly in front of Li Zhen, the two of them about five zhang apart.

"Buzz!"

Li Zhen drew her sword.

The sword tip trembled slightly, producing a crisp sound.

"Draw your sword!" Li Zhen shouted coldly.

Qin Yi said calmly, "To deal with you, there's no need to draw my sword."

Since they were at the same level of power, it would be a piece of cake for Qin Yi to deal with her.

Draw your sword?

That was an insult to him!

The fact that she didn't draw her sword undoubtedly made Li Zhen feel extremely humiliated!

"You said it yourself!"

Li Zhen gave a cold shout, and in an instant, the sword blade flashed.

An invisible sword aura burst forth, leaving no trace.

However, Qin Yi, who was also well-versed in the Twelve Swords of Lingyin, completely understood the trajectory of Li Zhen's invisible sword energy, and he casually moved sideways.

The next instant, Li Zhen's invisible sword energy cleaved a crack in the ground where Qin Yi had been standing.

When her first attack failed, Li Zhen didn't dwell on it. She channeled her power and unleashed a series of moves from the Twelve Swords of Lingyin.

Suddenly, brilliant sword light burst forth in the arena. The intermediate disciples present could not see Li Zhen's sword energy at all, while many of the advanced disciples showed expressions of surprise.

"Nine invisible sword energies!"

"This Li Zhen has actually mastered the Twelve Swords of Lingyin!"

"She acquired this sword technique, but not long after..."

"Heh, what's so strange about that? Maybe before she went to the second level of the Sword Cave to exchange for the inheritance of the Twelve Swords of Spirit Concealment, she had already mastered this sword technique under the guidance of the Li family's experts."

"As expected of the Spirit Concealment Twelve Swords, hailed as the strongest among mid-grade Heaven-rank sword techniques, it is indeed powerful. It's a pity that this sword technique is not suitable for me... Otherwise, I would go and exchange for it to practice later!"

The entry-level skill of the Twelve Swords of Lingyin allows one to three invisible sword energies to be activated.

The initial stage of mastery involves activating four to six invisible sword energies.

At the peak of mastery, the invisible sword energy that is unleashed ranges from seven to nine strands.

If one can unleash ten to twelve invisible sword energies, it is considered a symbol of perfection.

Of course, the twelve invisible sword energies are also known as the Great Perfection.

Li Zhen's nine invisible sword energies were ethereal and unpredictable, their traces difficult to discern, yet Qin Yi moved through them with ease, as if strolling leisurely, his hands even behind his back.

Not a single invisible sword aura could touch his body.

Just moments ago, people were discussing Li Zhen's impressive mastery of the Twelve Swords of Lingyin, but now, everyone's attention is focused on Qin Yi.

"Such keen perception!"

"An absolutely astonishing reaction!"

"He was clearly using the Formless Starry Sky Step, but I don't quite understand it... It seems completely different from the Formless Starry Sky Step that I practice."

Li Zhen's series of attacks were all ineffective; she couldn't even tear a corner of Qin Yi's clothes. Her expression grew increasingly ugly as she shouted angrily, "We agreed to a contest of the Twelve Swords of Lingyin, but what are you doing, dodging and weaving like this?"

"You don't even dare to draw your sword? Could it be that you don't know the Twelve Swords of Lingyin at all?"

"You have the inheritance, but you can't even get past the basics!"

At this moment, Qin Yi's lips curled up, and he said calmly, "I gave you a chance, but you were useless."

"In that case...it's my turn!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yi stopped dodging. He suddenly raised his right hand, which was behind his back, and brought his middle and index fingers together to form a sword finger!

He pointed his sword forward and made a sweeping motion.

Suddenly, Qin Yi triggered the state of man and sword as one.

At this moment, he did not draw his sword, but he was the sword!

Qin Yi: "..."

This kind of competition was already a bit unfair to Li Zhen.

It even triggered the "Man and Sword as One" state directly... Isn't that even more bullying?

All I can say is that Li Zhen is really unlucky!

In an instant, Qin Yi's sword finger unleashed an incomparably sharp edge.

Twelve invisible sword energies shot out!

Li Zhen's nine invisible sword energies were instantly shattered by Qin Yi's invisible sword energy!

All twelve invisible sword energies struck Li Zhen.

"Aaaaaah..."

Li Zhen's body was riddled with holes and cracks before she was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground with a thud. Blood gushed from her wounds.

Everyone was stunned.

For a moment, the entire room fell silent.

And not far away.

An old man stood in mid-air, watching this scene with great shock, his eyes gradually shining with a brilliant light.

Beside the old man was a young woman, who whispered, "Elder Fan... Qin Yi's behavior just now was so strange..."

The old man was none other than Fan Xuanfeng, the elder from the Starry Sky Palace who was about to preach here.

The shock on Fan Xuanfeng's face faded, replaced by the excitement of discovering a treasure. He said, "That is what I've always hoped you could comprehend, but none of you could... the unity of man and sword!"

"Unbelievable! A mere beginner disciple in the Nirvana Realm has actually comprehended the unity of man and sword!"

"I've struck gold!"
