The raindrops fell at a slower rate.

The speed at which the water splashed out of the puddle slowed down.

In fact, the flow of time has not slowed down.

The senses of those who could feel Gongsun Hongdie's sword intent were slow.

Lan Xiaogu clearly saw a raindrop slowly slide past Gongsun Hongdie's eyes.

At that moment, she couldn't help but hold her breath.

The most perfect face she had ever seen was An Qingwan's face—even the beauty mark on her flawless, porcelain-white cheek was so beautiful that one wanted to stick out their tongue and lick it.

But the most perfect eyes she had ever seen were those of Gongsun Hongdie.

These were expressive eyes, yet they now exuded a deathly aura even deeper than An Qingwan's.

"She was born in the wrong place."

Sikong Tingxue suddenly said.

It's such a pity that someone with such a desperate sword intent was born into a sect like Moyu Valley, which is skilled in using hidden weapons and poison.

Their Yin-Yang Sect actually needs people like this.

Gongsun Hongdie was indeed born in the wrong place.

An Qingwan wholeheartedly agreed.

Although she couldn't see Gongsun Hongdie's eyes, she was a swordsman, a swordsman more skilled than anyone else present.

The intent of the sword is the intent of the person; the heart of the sword is the heart of the person.

No one understands Gongsun Hongdie's sword intent better than her; no one understands Gongsun Hongdie better than her.

If the sword is dead, how can a person live on alone?

Gongsun Hongdie was still breathing, but she had actually been dead for a long time.

Similarly, among everyone present, no one understood Lan Xiaogu better than An Qingwan.

But often, understanding is meaningless.

There are always many things in this world that we cannot control.

This decisive battle is bound to continue.

In fact, someone could have stopped this battle, namely Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie's mother, but she ultimately did not show up.

Therefore, everything is beyond repair.

The decisive moment has arrived.

Everyone has been waiting for this moment.

The rain intensified, and the wind picked up.

Gongsun Hongdie said, "If I win, I will kill you, so if you win, you must kill me too."

Lan Xiaogu said, "I won, I won't kill you."

Gongsun Hongdie said, "Then you will definitely lose!"

She has already drawn her sword.

This sword strike was not as swift as lightning or as dazzling as the moon as An Qingwan's sword.

This sword strike was unlike Jin Xueyi's, which was unpredictable and elusive.

This sword strike appeared extremely ordinary at first glance, or rather, it was completely unorthodox and lacked any discernible pattern, like a strike made by a beginner.

But if anyone dares to underestimate this sword, he will surely die, because there are endless changes hidden behind this sword.

Lan Xiaogu would naturally not underestimate Gongsun Hongdie's sword.

The long whip snapped out with a crack.

The taut whip and the trembling sword resembled two venomous snakes battling in the rain.

The venomous snakes never made contact; they simply kept changing positions, sometimes moving forward, sometimes turning to the side, and sometimes retreating.

In fact, to the average person, this was by no means a spectacular contest.

The sword and whip never clashed, which was more like saying "Stop fighting!" than the two thugs engaging in close combat.

But those who could see the trick were already drenched in sweat.

They saw the changes, they saw the danger.

Such tranquility will not last long, because the two will eventually have to settle their differences.

So, Lan Xiaogu took the first step.

She was much more impatient by nature.

What she relied on was not only the whip, but also her pair of jade-like feet.

His feet kicked like a whirlwind.

Gongsun Hongdie was not afraid at all. She did not avoid Lan Xiaogu's feet at all, but instead stepped forward.

She was already shrouded in a storm.

Like a small boat, it could capsize at any moment.

But amidst the storm, she saw a beam of light, a beam of light that pointed her way forward, and she followed that light.

"not good!"

Some people have already cried out in surprise.

After such a long period of testing, will the two be decided in an instant?

Gongsun Hongdie held her sword horizontally in her right hand, deflecting the whip that was being swung at her. With her left hand, she skillfully grabbed Lan Xiaogu's right foot.

It was as if she wasn't actively trying to grab Lan Xiaogu's feet, but rather Lan Xiaogu was eagerly wanting to let her grab her feet.

Clearly, this wasn't a risky attempt; they had already seen through the flaws!

Gongsun Hongdie had indeed known the flaws in Lan Xiaogu's moves for a long time.

Now that she has caught Lan Xiaogu's right foot, whose footwork is superb, it's time to settle the score.

But just as she was about to swing her sword, Lan Xiaogu did something completely unexpected.

Lan Xiaogu touched the ground with her left foot, and her whole body rose into the air. Her legs wrapped around her hands like pythons.

Gongsun Hongdie's expression changed drastically. She finally realized that it was a deliberate flaw, but it was too late for her to dodge.

She could only watch as Lan Xiaogu instantly closed in, transforming her fingers into swords and striking her repeatedly.

puff--

Gongsun Hongdie released Lan Xiaogu's foot and gracefully retreated several feet.

There was a noticeable bloodstain at the corner of her mouth.

"how did you do it?"

Lan Xiaogu smiled and said, "I know I can't fix all the flaws in the moves in just a few days, so I thought, why not use these flaws to create new moves? It's all thanks to Sister An. These past few days, she didn't mind my feet and patiently practiced with me again and again."

Her eyes softened considerably as she said this.

"Gongsun Hongdie, I told you long ago that I would definitely beat you, because I know why I want to win, but you don't understand anything!"

Gongsun Hongdie gripped her sword tightly.

She looked at An Qingwan, who remained calm and composed even in the night rain.

Her sword was trembling.

Her heart was trembling.

Lan Xiaogu should have been similar to her, but now, she still has nothing, while Lan Xiaogu has An Qingwan.

This is not fair.

But the world has never been fair.

"what!"

Gongsun Hongdie's sword flew out again.

This time, the sword seemed to transform into a blazing sun that could melt gold and stone, radiating undisguised killing intent.

The sky was filled with rain, a rain of swords.

Any skilled swordsman could tell that Gongsun Hongdie's new sword move was actually far inferior to her previous one.

Yet, it was precisely this sword technique that unleashed an even more terrifying power.

Lan Xiaogu was constantly dodging the blows, and both of them sustained more and more injuries.

It wasn't that Gongsun Hongdie's sword had become stronger, but rather that Lan Xiaogu's heart had become weaker.

This is a sword that kills.

But Lan Xiaogu's whip is not a whip for killing.

"Why aren't you going all out? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Hongdie thrust out more than a dozen swords.

But Lan Xiaogu still didn't kill him.

She couldn't bring herself to kill him, because Gongsun Hongdie was, after all, her sister, and they shared a bloodline.

A dozen sword strikes passed in an instant.

Lan Xiaogu has been completely driven to the brink of death.

In the next instant, Gongsun Hongdie's sword will surely pierce Lan Xiaogu's throat.

Sikong Tingxue said, "Aren't you going to help?"

An Qingwan said, "No need?"

Sikong Tingxue was taken aback: "No need? You're even more cold-blooded than me?"

There's really no need for that.

Because Gongsun Hongdie's sword was not meant to kill Lan Xiaogu.

Just as the sword was about to pierce Lan Xiaogu's throat, and as Lan Xiaogu instinctively retaliated, Gongsun Hongdie's sword suddenly deviated by an inch.

In a battle between masters, a difference of half an inch can be enough to determine life or death, let alone an inch.

That inch was enough for Gongsun Hongdie to miss her target, enough for Lan Xiaogu to shatter Gongsun Hongdie's chest cavity with a single punch.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Gongsun Hongdie's face.

That was a smile of relief.

To see such a smile on her truly icy face is like an iron tree blossoming.

"To die by your hand is not a loss."

Gongsun Hongdie closed her eyes.

However, Lan Xiaogu's fist did not land on her.

At the critical moment, Lan Xiaogu twisted and dodged, falling into the puddle next to her with a splash, but precisely avoiding her.

She stared in astonishment at Lan Xiaogu, who was soaked to the bone.

Lan Xiaogu put her hands on her hips and said, "I won. Although you let me win with a sword strike, I also let you win with a few fingers. In addition, I have my best skills in poison and Gu worms. No matter how you look at it, I won!"

The blood flowing from Gongsun Hongdie's mouth had stained her clothes red.

Lan Xiaogu said, "You don't need to be discouraged. I'm only a year older than you. As long as you study hard, you might be able to beat me next time. Sigh, you should take care of yourself!"

Having said that, she abandoned Gongsun Hongdie and ran towards An Qingwan.

Only then did the onlookers finally come to their senses.

The fierce and rapid exchanges they had just witnessed had left them breathless, but now they could finally express their feelings.

"I told you Lan Xiaogu could win, now you believe me, right?"
