The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 81.1

The tenth day soon arrived.

Perhaps because of the many days the tournament had been suspended, today was especially lively.

“Hurry up! Hurry up! Come watch Lord Mengheng’s match!”

Yan Jue looked at the surging crowd around her, feeling a little embarrassed.

She knew that at least half the people in the Five Dragon Plaza today were there for her and Qi Xianqing.

This was because, one year ago, the original owner had issued a life and death challenge to Lord Mengheng, Qi Xianqing, swearing to make things difficult for Qi Xianqing at the Five Dragon Peaks Tournament.

She had probably only said it to provoke, but this earth-shattering declaration was firmly etched in everyone’s minds.

No one expected this statement to actually become a reality!

Yan Jue followed the crowd toward the arena when her shoulder was suddenly patted from behind.

Yan Jue turned around and was surprised to see Duan Luxi standing behind her, looking at her with a beaming smile.

Duan Luxi: “Yan Jue, I remember a year ago you issued a life-and-death challenge to Senior Disciple Sister in the Five Dragon Plaza, vowing to meet her here. Be honest, did you only get to where you are today just to fight Senior Disciple Sister?”

Yan Jue: “Absolutely not!”

Yan Jue was practically driven mad by the things the original owner had done and immediately denied it firmly: “I was young and ignorant back then! Don’t bring it up again!!!”

Duan Luxi laughed: “Alright, alright, I won’t mention it. But no matter what, you still ended up matched with Senior Disciple Sister…”

Yan Jue: “…”

Today’s sixth round was the second-to-last match of the Five Dragon Peaks Tournament.

Since many people had been eliminated in the previous rounds, the number of participants had sharply decreased.

However, the arena in the Five Dragon Plaza was hosting far more than just the match between Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing.

Nevertheless, the crowd watching beneath their stage was the largest.

At the very front of the crowd, a long table was set up.

The long table was already filled with many elders.

There were elders dressed in purple robes and those in green robes. Yan Jue quickly spotted a familiar figure among them.

Yun Zhen wore a sloping, drunken-red silk robe embroidered with silver threads, her long hair coiled into a flying immortal bun. Naturally alluring, her skin was whiter than snow, and her robes billowed as she sat casually below the stage, gently sipping tea, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Perhaps because the competition had reached its final stage, the sect elders attached great importance to it, and even Qi Xianqing’s master, Fairy Yun Zhen, had come.

Yan Jue felt an immense pressure seeing this.

“Dong” A melodious bell rang out.

Yan Jue slowly walked onto the stage.

Yan Jue had fair skin and was wearing a light, silver-pearl pleated skirt with a cross collar and narrow sleeves today. Her black hair was tied high, and an iron sword was strapped to her back.

But she was far from as relaxed as she looked; she clenched her fists, and cold sweat broke out in her palms.

“Yan Jue issued a life and death challenge to Qi Xianqing a year ago. I can’t believe they are actually matched now. Yan Jue must have been looking forward to this for a long time. She’s so strong now, she’s definitely going to unleash all her accumulated hatred on Qi Xianqing.”

“I’ve been waiting a year for this. I bet Yan Jue will win this time.”

“But isn’t the gap in strength too massive? Yan Jue is an outer disciple with no master’s guidance, while Qi Xianqing is the chief disciple under Fairy Yun Zhen.”

“But didn’t you notice that Yan Jue has won five consecutive matches this tournament? Besides her solid cultivation, good luck is also a very important factor.”

Yan Jue looked up at the girl standing opposite her.

Qi Xianqing was wearing a moon white pleated skirt that flowed in the wind, with the celestial sword “Candle Shadow” tied to her back.

Qi Xianqing’s beautiful peach blossom eyes lifted slightly, quietly looking at her, naturally possessing an inherent noble grace and authority.

Yan Jue felt that she was already very familiar with Qi Xianqing.

But meeting under these circumstances, she strangely felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

“…”

Yan Jue faced Qi Xianqing, looking at the girl’s clear peach blossom eyes eyes that had once been full of tenderness when she had held Yan Jue and softly read her sword technique notes just ten nights ago.

Qi Xianqing looked at Yan Jue expressionlessly, her thoughts unknown.

Yun Zhen watched the match with keen interest.

The previous rounds were not worth mentioning, but she definitely had to watch her disciple’s performance in these final matches.

“Dong” Another melodious bell rang out.

Everyone below the stage unconsciously tensed up.

They wondered if Lord Mengheng would take the initiative this time.

As the match began and everyone held their breath, the anticipated clash of “fire and thunder” did not materialize.

Yan Jue stood against the wind, quietly looking into Qi Xianqing’s eyes. The two remained silent for a long moment, and the expected clash of fire and thunder did not arrive as scheduled.

The audience fell silent.

?

Qi Xianqing, who was most skilled at instantly finishing her opponents, did not attack quickly?

Qi Xianqing looked at Yan Jue and slowly lowered the tip of the Candle Shadow sword.

A master teaching a disciple would often lower the sword tip first, inviting the disciple to strike first.

While this subtle gesture by Qi Xianqing might have gone unnoticed by others, Yan Jue keenly caught it.

In an instant, Yan Jue drew the iron sword from her back, and the “Five Elements Sword Technique” was immediately activated.

Yan Jue executed the Swallow Step, her body turning into a blur in the air, and she appeared before Qi Xianqing in a flash.

The originally ordinary iron sword was already covered with a faint layer of frost, as if the surrounding air had twisted and turned cold along with it.

Yan Jue swung down directly. Qi Xianqing’s expression was solemn as she raised her sword to block.

“Clang!!!” The two swords clashed, emitting a crisp, melodious sound.

The two swords crossed, and their bodies were extremely close.

In the sunlight, Yan Jue could even smell Qi Xianqing’s familiar and comforting scent and feel the girl’s breath so near.

Qi Xianqing lowered her gaze, looking at Yan Jue.

The girl’s lips were red and teeth white, and her clear amber eyes stared straight at her. In that instant, Qi Xianqing felt her unwavering Dao Heart tremble very slightly, and a faint blush crept up her ears.

The distraction lasted only a moment. In the next breath, Yan Jue leaped up. The iron sword retracted, the tip pointing down, and a sharp sword light flashed, aiming to strike Qi Xianqing’s wrist.

The audience below erupted in a clamor.

Yun Zhen seemed to recall something and smiled, nodding slightly.

Qi Xianqing froze, and in a flash, frost seemed to cover her eyes. Qi Xianqing exerted force in her wrist, and Candle Shadow swung down with a “clang” hitting the very center of Yan Jue’s iron sword blade.

Yan Jue felt a shock run through her arm. The sword instantly felt uncontrollable and about to fly out. She gripped the iron sword tightly with both hands, desperately holding onto the hilt.

“Oh my god… I almost forgot how strong Senior Disciple Sister is. She usually just jars the opponent’s sword right out of their hands.”

“Yan Jue was actually able to withstand Senior Disciple Sister’s sword lift. Her wrist strength is quite something…”

The two retreated a few steps on the stage. Qi Xianqing’s body suddenly tensed, and in an instant, she transformed into an afterimage in the air, appearing before Yan Jue in a blink.

Candle Shadow shimmered with a lightning-like azure light in the sky. As Qi Xianqing raised and lowered her sword, a massive, semi-circular sword light appeared in the air.

Sword Technique: Single Thought.

This was the unique sword skill of the Blazing Fire Sect, a legendary technique capable of slaying all demons in the world. Qi Xianqing had used this method in previous matches.

This strike carried a powerful sword aura rushing towards her. Yan Jue violently swung her hand, and an equally terrifying ice blue sword aura appeared in the sky!

The ice-blue sword aura and the azure sword aura violently collided in the air and simultaneously shattered.

Amidst the howling wind, the two stood opposite each other.

One in red, one in white, they looked as beautiful as a scene from a painting.

Qi Xianqing was not going easy; in fact, she was more serious than usual, as only by doing so could she show absolute respect for Yan Jue.

Yan Jue felt the same way.

Qi Xianqing’s expression was as cold as frost. She stepped back and formed hand seals. Instantly, Candle Shadow rose into the air like a star, then split into hundreds of small swords.

Ten Thousand Swords Technique!

The small flying swords traversed the sky like soaring dragons. Qi Xianqing pointed her right hand, and the hundreds of small swords rushed toward Yan Jue like golden meteors, whistling through the air.

Yan Jue raised her iron sword again and closed her eyes. A burning sensation gradually surged from her Dantian, as if a massive amount of spiritual energy was expanding from that spot!

Yan Jue raised the iron sword high, her brows tightly furrowed, and slashed the iron sword downward with force!

A thick ice wall instantly appeared before her. The ice wall gradually curved downward, actually condensing into a thick sphere that completely enclosed Yan Jue.

The small swords formed by Candle Shadow fiercely impacted the ice wall, leaving white scratch marks on its surface.

Qi Xianqing performed a hand seal and lightly shouted. The countless small swords shimmering with azure light immediately reassembled in the sky, returning to the main body of Candle Shadow.

Candle Shadow swelled to the height of two people in the sky, descending from the firmament with immense force.

Sword Technique: Shaking Earth.

Everyone below held their breath. They saw the celestial sword “Candle Shadow” actually pierce directly through Yan Jue’s ice wall defense!

Everyone knew the immense power of the celestial sword Candle Shadow, one of the divine swords of the world.

People couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that this junior disciple sister, who had won five matches in a row, was likely to suffer a serious injury this time.

Even a few elders below the stage shook their heads slightly.

Suddenly, someone let out a cry of surprise.

Qi Xianqing froze.

She heard an extremely subtle sound coming from behind her.

Qi Xianqing’s expression instantly turned stern. She quickly recalled Candle Shadow, and in the next moment, the arena behind her exploded from beneath the ground!

Yan Jue had actually burst out of the ground! Her iron sword swung toward her face, colliding with Candle Shadow once again.

With a deafening crash that echoed everywhere, Yan Jue felt a sharp pain in her chest, and a sweet, bloody taste surged into her mouth.

Ice System Divine Ability: Ice and Snow Tunneling.

Everyone around was astonished. If Qi Xianqing hadn’t reacted quickly just now, she would have been successfully ambushed by Yan Jue!

Yan Jue’s face was covered in dirt. She fiercely gripped the sword in her hand, raised her eyes to look at Qi Xianqing, her expression resolute.

The soles of their shoes scraped the ground. The two swords crossed paths once more, in an invisible standoff in the air.

Qi Xianqing frowned slightly, meeting Yan Jue’s amber eyes, which were filled with a heavy, bloody aura. Her usually gentle and soft eyes were now full of aggression!

Qi Xianqing suddenly saw a faint golden light in the depths of Yan Jue’s eyes.

Qi Xianqing was stunned. Cold sweat immediately beaded on her forehead. Why did she see an invisible coercion in Yan Jue’s eyes? Before she could fully react, Yan Jue swung her iron sword and attacked again.

“Boom!!!”

Yan Jue’s strength was immense. Qi Xianqing was actually knocked back two steps.

Everyone: “?!”

That was close! The two were now at the edge of the arena. Qi Xianqing’s heel was already on the boundary line of the stage. If she retreated two more steps, she would likely fall off.

Qi Xianqing felt a pain in her chest and was filled with a mixture of shock and pleasant surprise when she reacted.

She was both surprised and delighted.

The sun was bright.

The corner of Qi Xianqing’s eye suddenly caught sight of Yun Zhen below the arena.

Yun Zhen was still ethereal, like a fairy, her temperament excellent as she sat among a group of men.

Yun Zhen rested her chin on her hand, looking at Qi Xianqing thoughtfully, her expression serious.

Her master seemed very dissatisfied with her performance.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in Qi Xianqing’s heart. Originally, her principle for matches was to resolve the opponent within half a cup of tea’s time, but now, nearly an entire stick of incense had passed.

It was dangerous, unfavorable.

Qi Xianqing’s wrist suddenly jerked.

The celestial sword “Candle Shadow” suddenly glowed with a bright azure light and trembled violently in the air. Qi Xianqing violently deflected Yan Jue’s attack target, leaped into the air, her robes flapping fiercely in the strong wind, and Candle Shadow emitted a majestic dragon’s roar in the sky.

A flash of azure light.

Candle Shadow chopped down toward Yan Jue.

Yan Jue was already familiar with Qi Xianqing’s attacking rhythm and calmly raised her sword to block.

Her arm trembled, and Yan Jue suddenly noticed something. Her pupils violently contracted.

A massive spiritual force erupted from Qi Xianqing.

In an instant, the iron sword in her hand shattered!

That pitiful, standard issue outer disciple iron sword, under the full force strike of Candle Shadow, began to turn into fine ash little by little from the tip and was blown away by the wind…

Yan Jue instantly regretted it bitterly, having almost forgotten. How could the sword in her hand compare to the celestial sword Candle Shadow? As long as Qi Xianqing put a little force into the strike, her sword would be smashed.

A brief look of surprise flashed in Qi Xianqing’s eyes. With a flash of sword light, Yan Jue rolled on the ground to dodge. Without a sword, she was no match for Qi Xianqing at all.

Qi Xianqing hesitated, then gently swung her sword down again. In an instant, massive spiritual power exploded in the air.

Qi Xianqing’s heart tightened it seemed she hadn’t controlled her force well.

Yan Jue was directly thrown backward.

Everyone’s gaze closely followed the girl in the sky. Yan Jue arced gracefully through the air, then fell directly into Yun Zhen’s arms!
