Han Xianzi, do you even hear what you're saying?
Jingtai Emperor: “...”
His Majesty had seen many grand occasions.
But he had never truly seen a scene like this.
Ying Bing said with a calm expression: “We agreed to spar tonight.”
Only then did Jingtai Emperor nod, smiling as he said:
“The Qianlong Assembly is just the beginning. I am even more eager to see your performance in Human City. I am greatly pleased that neither of you has become arrogant or complacent.”
Then he walked up to Li Mo and asked:
“Little Overlord Li, what are your thoughts?”
This was the first time Li Mo had seen the Great Yu Emperor up close. He noticed that Jingtai Emperor had slightly frosted temples, rugged features, and his eyebrows and eyes bore some resemblance to Chu Long.
The Great Yu's Your Majesty asked him to speak, and his voice would also be transmitted throughout Dijin via the jiangshan sheji map.
It would leave a significant mark in history and be remembered by people.
Li Mo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He straightened his back, his expression serious:
“Everything I’ve achieved today is thanks to the support of my friends and Ying Bing, as well as my own hard work and sweat.”
“The future is mine, and it will also be yours...”
“Since childhood, my father taught me that children from poor families learn to manage early.”
In his previous life, Xiao Li would only have half an hour of television access after returning home from school. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Because after half an hour, the television would invariably show the evening news.
So he spoke with eloquence, captivating not only countless common people but also Jingtai Emperor and a host of ministers, leaving them stunned.
Look at that ideological awareness.
Listen to that linguistic art.
It seemed like he said everything, yet also nothing at all.
In front of Li Mo, they were so awkward they seemed like green recruits. Some had already started secretly taking notes, preparing to use them in future meetings.
【Congratulations, Host, for successfully investing in ‘Zhao Wu’, the Vice Minister of War, helping him find a method for improvement.】
【Congratulations, Host, for successfully investing in the Minister of Rites...】
...Human City did not open that same day.
After a brief speech, Li Mo got into a carriage and returned to Buyun Tower with Ice Cube first.
He didn't know why.
Originally, Li Mo had planned to visit Tianshan Sword Manor to practice forging techniques with Divine Craftsman Du.
But after dropping Ice Cube off, just as he was about to leave, Ying Bing didn't let go of his hand.
When did Ice Cube start being so clingy?
Xiao Li didn't know, but the matter of going to the Sword Manor was definitely forgotten by him, he didn't know where it went.
As night fell.
After making dinner, Li Mo went to her room, only to see her back in the sword arena, her shadow stretched long by the moonlight.
“So eager, huh? We can spar anytime, you know.”
Li Mo scratched his chin.
Well, truth be told, he was feeling a bit unsure now.
Ying Bing turned around, looking at him with the stillness of a maiden: “In a few days, I might not be able to win against you anymore.”
Human City was imminent, and the reward for first place was significantly better than for second.
Li Mo said helplessly: “Our bet was just a joke...”
“...”
Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled slightly.
The bet they made was about the punishment.
Anyway, if she lost to Li Mo, it meant her ranking was also lower than his, so the punishment would still have to be carried out.
“I’m not afraid of losing. You’re also about to reach Guan Shen Nine Apertures. Just Cultivating won’t be enough.”
Li Mo was silent for a moment, then still took out his hammer treasure. He was also curious about the actual gap between himself and Ice Cube now.
Mid-Moon Yin reflected the moonlight, its sharpness shimmering.
The Qi of the two God Swords collided; if not for the special material of Buyun Tower's sword arena, which could withstand Outer Scenery combat, it would have long since fallen apart.
“I’m coming.”
A soft whisper sounded in his ear.
Mid-Moon Yin stabbed straight, the sword light like the moon in a well, yet in a trance, it seemed to come from the sky.
Having also comprehended Taiyin, Li Mo could feel that this sword was not a sword of the present moment; there was a slight distortion of time and space.
Li Mo gently closed his eyes, not looking with his eyes, but sensing only with Taiyin Divine Intent.
He saw where the sword Ice Cube wielded would land.
The hammer treasure had already moved before his thoughts.
A hammer strike roared out, hitting the moonlight directly, scattering specks of starlight.
The sword light was negated, but Mid-Moon Yin drew an astonishing, unreasoning arc, striking the weak point of the hammer's momentum.
Ying Bing and Li Mo, one attacking and one defending, their figures intertwined, actually displayed great tacit agreement.
Li Mo's Hammer Technique was indeed much stronger than his swordsmanship, allowing him to contend with Ice Cube.
At times as heavy as Mount Tai, at other times carrying a strangely swift and ingenious power, he made the hammer weapon exude a sense of great skill in simplicity.
But in martial arts, Ying Bing was, after all, a cut above.
What she used seemed like Yi Jian Shu (Chess Sword Technique); more accurately, it was as if Yi Jian Shu was imitating her sword-wielding approach. There seemed to be an invisible net slowly tightening, compressing the space for the hammer weapon to swing.
If it were anyone else, such as Jiang Yu, they would probably know at this point that they had no chance of winning.
“But I don’t only have a Taiyin Intent Soul.”
Li Mo also felt a desire to win.Colored Glaze golden light erupted from his body, forcibly resisting a sword strike.
Taking advantage of the opening, he painfully plucked a strand of hair.
Immediately, Xiao Li Number Two appeared. He held the Celestial Human Divine Sword, working in concert from inside and out, making Ying Bing's sword momentum difficult to reach Perfection.
“I also don’t just have one Yi Soul.”
Can you see rainbows at night?
Li Mo saw it. He saw a rainbow light, formed by a hundred birds, emerging from the dimness into brightness. These were the hundred bird Divine Intentions within the jade phoenix god, completely refined by Ying Bing.
They had all ascended, seemingly forming their own profound rules, difficult to describe in words.
The rainbow light dissolved the immense power of the hammer weapon and neutralized the sharpness of the Celestial Human Divine Sword.
“This move truly cannot be blocked.”
The only thing Li Mo hadn't used yet was the Eight Nine Arcane Art.
But the Arcane Art, which he had only just begun to Cultivate, clearly couldn't block this rainbow light.
Seeing him withdraw his move, Ice Cube, whose expression had been cold, suddenly froze, but she couldn't stop her momentum either, so... *smack*—
So she crashed into Li Mo's arms, bringing him down to the ground with her.
“Are you alright?”
Ying Bing felt there was a very small possibility she hadn't fully reined in her move, and her mind went blank. freewёbnoνel.com
“...”
Xiao ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Li's eyes were tightly shut, his breathing faint.
“That shouldn’t be. His physique is so strong...”
Ying Bing pursed her lips and quickly lowered her head, pressing her ear to his neck, but heard a strong heartbeat.
He was clearly fine.
But how could he have fainted... Suddenly, she froze.
A hand, at some unknown point, was also placed very close to her heart, and it squeezed.
So, not only can you see rainbows at night, but you can also see red clouds.
For example, on Ice Cube's fair and luminous neck.
“Emmm”
Li Mo ‘slowly regained consciousness,’ his eyes gradually showing a clear foolishness, but in reality, he was extremely flustered.
“Hmm, Ice Cube, you’re really amazing. I lost.”
“I know...”
“That move of yours just now was truly powerful. I’m still a bit dizzy now, hiss... my Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, and my legs and feet seem to be disobedient.”
“Are your hands... also disobedient?”
