Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

That being said, the situation became awkward at this point.

The stars and the seventh day of the third month are facing each other, and we shouldn't say too much about the private affairs inside the Immortal Ship.

"Sister Lingsha, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Yunli walked out from the side and complained.

The timing was perfect, diverting everyone's attention.

On March 7th, upon seeing Yun Li, he couldn't help but shake his head, wondering if Yan Qing and Yun Li would eventually fight.

[Ring: Oops... Oh no, those two little devils have met.]

[March 7th: Wow, Miss Ling Sha and General Jing Yuan have a grudge, and now Yun Li and Yan Qing also have a grudge. Is this fate?]

[Yanqing: Hmph, who has any connection with her?]

[Yun Li: Tch, such a little brat worrying so much, no wonder his mind is elsewhere and his sword skills are lacking.]

[Yanqing: You!]

Chapter 142 Competition

"Yun Li, why aren't you staying by your grandfather's side? Why are you wandering around the Pill Refining Department?"

"Perfect timing! Let me introduce you to Lord Yanqing..."

Ling Sha was unaware that the two had already met.

Yun Li crossed her arms and sighed, "What a small world..."

Yan Qing was slightly angry. "You, this time you should return the stolen sword to me!"

Ling Sha realized that there was no need for an introduction.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and they got angry after only a few words.

Yun Li has the ability to communicate with sword spirits. Through the flying sword, she knows that Yan Qing has been preoccupied lately and his mind is not on the sword. Even if she returns it to him, it will be taken away by someone else sooner or later.

Yanqing: "I respected you as Zhu Minglai's guest and repeatedly tolerated you, but you showed no gratitude whatsoever. Doesn't Zhu Mingxianzhou have the common sense that one should return what one has taken?"

Yun Li continued to explain her reasoning, "You've heard of the rule that Yunqi must not let their weapons fall out of their hands, right? I can return them to you now, but it'll be a different story on the battlefield. Alas, how pitiful this flying sword is."

Yanqing's breathing was rapid and filled with anger. "You don't need to return it, because I will personally take back the sword I lost!!!"

[Xingqiu: Yanqing has been criticized for being too warm-hearted, but he still has some temper towards clay figures.]

[Ambi: But doesn't a flying sword only kill when it's released from the hand?]

Zhe: She probably meant not to slip out of control.

[Yun Li: Damn it, who cares about your sword? Why would I need to steal it?]

[Yanqing: Taking something without permission is theft.]

[Yun Li: You... dare to go to the Martial Arts Hall for a sword fight?!]

[Yanqing: I'm not afraid of you, I'll be there in a minute.]

[March 7th: Stop! Stop fighting! Please stop fighting!]

[Yanqing's unease stems from worry about Jingyuan. Now that the two generals have arrived and a new steward has been appointed, Jingyuan's situation is very unfavorable.]

Xing: "Is this the martial arts ceremony?"

"Danheng, who do you think is more powerful between these two? Don't blame me, I'm genuinely curious." March 7th was always eager for a good show, though she was just curious and had no ill intentions.

Danheng sighed, "Be prepared to separate them."

[The three onlookers.]

[Star: Without a doubt, we are clearly the better team.]

[Potio: Brother Danheng, don't forget the rules of the game.]

[Dan Heng: ...]

Stop teasing Mr. Danheng; I'm really afraid he'll have a breakdown in the future.

As the current head of the Pill Refining Department, Ling Sha certainly couldn't just stand by and watch the two of them actually fight.

He refused, citing it as his first day in office.

However, the two were truly enraged, and they feared that if they didn't fight, their resentment would be detrimental to their cultivation.

Taking this opportunity, Ling Sha had Yan Qing and Yun Li compete to clean up the filth near the Dan Ding Si Cave Heaven, thus resolving this mess and saving the two from having to draw their swords against each other.

[March 7th: I suddenly feel that you and Jing Yuan are the same in that you don't waste any of the spiritual sand.]

[Star: It's time to use a surprise attack.]

[Yanqing: This competition scene feels strangely familiar.]

Ling Sha led the group to a place in the cave where evil creatures roamed.

The contest is a one-minute time limit. The one who eliminates the most evil creatures within the time limit wins.

Although Yun Li is childlike, she is not naive. Isn't this just a way to work for free?

Yanqing, however, felt there was nothing wrong with it and also took the opportunity to eliminate the evil creature.

As the spirit sand began its timer, the two drew their swords and charged at the monstrous creature.

The flying sword hovered behind Yan Qing, and as he ran, it stabbed at one bountiful monster after another, using a variety of sword techniques to crush them with overwhelming force.

The number of enemies killed is increasing rapidly.

"This guy who can't even handle a sword actually has some skill."

After saying that, Yun Li took out her greatsword "Old Iron" and said, "Follow me to kill the enemy!"

Flames spread across the sword's blade. With a powerful strike, the earth shook as if volcanic lava was gushing forth, and more than a dozen abundant monsters vanished on the spot.

Yun Li's kill count is approaching that of Yan Qing.

Looking at Yanqing not far away, he lectured, "Your moves are flashy, but you haven't hit any vital points. It's a waste to misuse your sword like this."

Yanqing remained silent, focusing solely on killing the enemy.

The time limit was quickly over, and the two stopped.

“I won, Miss Yun Li.”

Yun Li was somewhat unconvinced, "It was just luck."

They only killed a few more than me; if I had just swung my sword once more, I would have won.

Yanqing laughed and said, "You'd better obediently return the sword to me, apologize respectfully, and then go back to your grandfather crying and complaining."

"Meeting me is your good fortune. I have no interest in your big, heavy, rusty iron sword. Nor do I have a penchant for taking weapons or stealing things."

Yun Li put her hands on her hips and looked at him with displeasure: "You've only killed a few monsters and you're already getting cocky."

"Hmph, you dare try to take this sword from my hand?"

[Zhe: Yanqing is so cool! This flying sword is like something out of a cultivation novel! I really want one. Flying on a sword, controlling a sword with your inner energy...]

[Xingqiu: This greatsword is ridiculously overpowered; I can hardly believe it's a weapon wielded by a young girl.]

Paimon: I remember Noelle also uses a greatsword.

Noelle: I'm here. What are your orders?

This is none other than Princess Yan, the Queen of Rock.

[Yun Li: You're so smug because you only won by a slight margin.]

[Yanqing: I won.]

[Yun Li: So what if there are two more of me!]

[Yanqing: I won.]

Yun Li: You…

[Yanqing: I won.]

[Xing: Yanqing is amazing, you really gave me a good laugh.]

[Huaiyan: Yunli, a swordsman's most basic principle is to accept defeat when it comes to a bet. No fooling around.]

[Yun Li: Grandpa~]

As soon as the gong sounded, the two men were already standing on the rooftop, ready to fight.

Yanqing held a longsword, while Yunli gripped a large sword tightly with both hands, their hair and clothes swaying in the wind.

Yun Li took the initiative and swung her greatsword horizontally upwards. Taking advantage of the momentum, Yan Qing leaped and swung his longsword across the air, while the flying sword behind him shot towards Yun Li like a sharp arrow.

The greatsword stood upright in front of his chest, as indestructible as a shield, blocking the flying swords.

Offense is the best defense, and Yun Li knew this well.

He raised the greatsword above his head and leaped down, the combined force of power and gravity making this attack unstoppable.

Yanqing dodged and jumped off the roof. Yunli followed closely behind, her greatsword unstoppable, deflecting the flying sword and smashing it into the spot where Yanqing had just been.

At this moment, Yanqing was already at the edge, while Yunli's attacks became more and more fierce, and her giant sword smashed the house.

The powerful impact knocked Yanqing away, causing her to fall to the ground.

After a burst of rapid flute music, Yanqing stepped onto his flying sword and soared through the air, almost encountering San Yueqi, who was watching the two fight.

Do as you please, ride the wind.

As Yan Qing flew into the air, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He turned around and swung his arm, sending five or six flying swords hurtling towards Yun Li like meteors with trails of light.

In a series of twists and turns, Yun Li managed to overcome them one by one.

The greatsword spun around him once and shot straight into the air. Predicting Yanqing's trajectory, it knocked him and the sword down.

Yun Li leaped forward, caught the greatsword, and once again swung it at Yan Qing.

Yanqing hurriedly took a step back, his eyes sharp, and with his back turned, he gripped his longsword tightly. The flying sword behind him emanated a chill as he ran forward.

Yun Li rolled over to dissipate the force of the landing, then leaped onto the greatsword embedded in the ground, gripped the hilt with her right hand, and raised it above her head, causing the blade to burst into flames.

With a thrust and a slash, both men were enraged and showed no mercy.

At this moment, a fox-woman walked unhurriedly into the battlefield between the two, gently pinching her index and middle fingers together.

A whirlwind swirled and vibrated around him, deflecting all the flying swords.

Yun Li continued to press down with both hands, but she couldn't move them at all.

Yanqing relaxed and looked at the woman in surprise.

Chapter 143 The Three-No General

"You two kids, you fought well."

The white-haired woman with fox ears laughed.

"However, you two only know how to dodge, thinking you are agile; and you are strong enough to throw bricks, always hoping to defeat the enemy in one blow... Your tactics and techniques are both lacking."

Yun Li and Yan Qing exchanged a glance. Who is this older sister?

The fox-woman casually replied, "A patient who came to the Dan Ding Si seeking medical treatment, and a passerby who happened to be passing by."

[Ling: Who is this fox-woman sister? She's so cool and stylish, I love her!]

[Su Chang: Ah… this is our female general of the Yaoqing Immortal Ship—General Tianji.]

[Ling Sha: Didn't we agree not to fight? Yun Li, you're not listening to your sister.]

Yun Li: Hmph, it's all Yan Qing's fault.

[Xingqiu: These two are incredibly destructive.]

[March 7th: That was too easy. They stopped their offensive with a mere flick of the wrist.]

[Anbi: Yanqing didn't use her full strength.]

On the Luofu Immortal Ship, Yun Li is considered a guest; Yan Qing couldn't possibly abandon her to her death.

[Star: Hello, I am a general passing by.]
