She was already riding a tiger, unable to dismount. Several times she thought of throwing her sword aside and retreating. But the sword hilt seemed to stick to her palm, yin and yang entangled, the principle of which was profound. Sweat beaded on Wen Caishang’s forehead as she grew more strained. Her beautiful eyes were filled with extreme shock: "This is clearly the Yin Yang Immortal Lovers Sword, even if you’ve reached the peak, you shouldn’t be this formidable. What kind of sorcery did you use?"
Li Xian chuckled, "Madam, have you ever heard of the ’Great Self’ realm?"
Wen Caishang said, "The Great Self?" Her pupils slightly contracted. She was knowledgeable and had seen the words "Great Self" in ancient texts and books. But it was too mystical, and though countless martial arts have had experts who reached the peaks throughout history, records of the "Great Self" were rare. As such, she had only regarded it as idle talk, or assumed it was someone with limited vision mistaking the "Peak" or "Perfection" realm for the "Great Self" realm.
Wen Caishang bit her silver teeth tightly and said in a deep voice, "Have you practiced the Setting Sun Bloodsword to a level beyond the peak and stepped into the Great Self realm? Is there truly such martial arts mastery in the world?"
Li Xian replied, "Indeed, there is. Otherwise, you would have already defeated me. The only thing I can rely on in dealing with you is the ’Yin Yang Immortal Lovers Sword,’ taking advantage of the union with you."
Wen Caishang was extraordinarily furious and cursed, "What a scheme, what a scheme. I should have foreseen that you would never act unprepared. If you dared to turn against me, you must have had the confidence to deal with me."
Li Xian shook his head, "I have never turned against you, Madam. Yet, your words just now truly made me sad." Wen Caishang felt reluctant in her heart but angrily said, "Brat, watch my sword." Several thrusts came forward, yet Li Xian parried them with ease.
Wen Caishang had never suffered such a loss, but the more she fought, the weaker she became. It was like an old man playing with a mischievous child; she had profound cultivation, but Li Xian borrowed her cultivation to counter her swordsmanship. Wen Caishang coldly exclaimed, "Brat, you’re taking advantage of this, indeed you can delay me for a while. But once the sword momentum scatters, in my eyes, you’re nothing more than an ant that I can crush in an instant. Aren’t you planning to leave? What good is dragging this on?"
Li Xian saw that Wen Caishang’s anger was hard to conceal. He had never seen her with such an expression, cheeks flushed, her angry eyes glaring, yet charming in her own way. He said, "Does Madam not understand me? This Yin Yang Immortal Lovers Sword contains the principles of yin and yang, indeed possessing the ability to simplify complexity, to transform the immortal into the ordinary."
"By borrowing your cultivation, I can slowly evolve the principles within the sword. Gradually, you’ll find yourself unable to exert your cultivation for several days."
Wen Caishang angrily said, "How dare you!" and with precise timing, kicked her right foot. Li Xian, instead of dodging, caught her ankle, forcing Wen Caishang to stand on one foot, while her White Snake Sword continued to strike at Li Xian, struggling to defend.
Li Xian said, "At this point, what is there that I don’t dare to do?" Wen Caishang let out a soft "ah," her right boot had already been removed. Her pretty face turned red, and a little of her fury dissipated. Then, filled with shame and anger, she thrust her soft sword at Li Xian’s left rib, forcing him to retreat and quickly withdraw his leg.
At this moment, her hair was slightly disheveled, her long hair flowing gracefully, maintaining an uncommon elegance. Yet with one foot bare and the other shod, she couldn’t help but feel odd and awkward. Wen Caishang wanted to retreat from her position, but Li Xian’s "Yin Yang Immortal Lovers Sword" was too superior for her.
They clashed a few more times. Li Xian seized the opportunity to grab and remove the gold hairpin holding Wen Caishang’s hair. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, as she clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes filled with raging fire. Not even in the past when fleeing, heavily injured, did she feel this aggrieved. freёweɓnovel.com
The sound of clashing swords rang out, sword shadows intertwining. Wen Caishang unleashed "Falling Moon", while Li Xian executed "Hanging Sun". When the two techniques collided, Li Xian immediately withdrew his sword, making use of it to draw Wen Caishang closer with his longsword. Suddenly reaching out, he drew Wen Caishang into his embrace.
Wen Caishang felt the warmth at her waist, her body softened, and her anger reduced by three parts. Her heart was filled with helpless grievance, extreme regret: "I should have known, this brat harbored another scheme, and now it’s come to this. He has gained the upper hand, and even I can’t protect myself anymore."
