Old friends?

Lu Li's body flickered, her white skirt swaying as she walked onto the grand plaza.

Ye Jiangshan and Liu Xiu's faces lit up with joy. Young people should interact more; the more they interact, the greater the chance for things to progress.

Moreover, it was time for Lu Li to see Ye Rudí's current abilities... Compared to Ye Qiu, he was truly excellent.

After all, Ye Qiu had an ordinary constitution, his talent was too mediocre, and his growth potential was extremely limited!

Furthermore, he had been living in the Southern Mountains for too long, falling far behind. Even if he had luckily killed Ye Yi, he was still far, far inferior to someone at Ye Rudí's level.

And in a few months, they would be heading to Central Province.

What chance did Ye Qiu have?

He couldn't keep up.

They could never become people of the same world!

"Since Miss Lu agreed, I think she's at least a little interested in Rudí," Liu Xiu whispered.

Ye Jiangshan nodded. "Let's hope so!"

After speaking, Ye Jiangshan's gaze turned to the plaza. In truth, he was also extremely curious about Lu Li's current abilities.

Although her strongest recorded feat was defeating the eighth core, she only used one sword!

That sword was definitely not her limit!

In fact, it wasn't just him; many people present were curious about Lu Li's combat power.

Even the top few cores felt the same.

Therefore, as Lu Li walked onto the stage, the attention of the entire crowd, more unified than ever before, fell upon the young woman.

Ye Rudí's gaze was also fixed on the approaching girl in the white skirt.

As she drew closer, he couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration; Lu Li's allure was truly immense.

What right did that Ye Qiu have?

He was the Young Master of the Ye Family, the successor. He would lead the Ye Clan to prosperity in the future.

Ever since he arrived at the Ye Family, everything that belonged to Ye Qiu had already been rewritten!

His identity, status, inheritance, and even his future!

And after learning some secrets about Lu Li's identity, his desire to possess her grew even stronger!

"Let's begin," Lu Li said, drawing her sword as she approached within five meters, looking at Ye Rudí. "Use your full strength!"

Ye Rudí chuckled lightly. "Senior Sister Lu, please guide me!"

As he spoke, the purple sword in his hand suddenly flashed. In the next moment, a dazzling sword light abruptly slashed down.

Invincible Sword!

Of course, this time he held back some strength. After all, if he accidentally injured Lu Li with a heavy blow, his heart would ache.

However, this thought was utterly unnecessary, because as soon as his sword light was unleashed, it directly exploded.

Lu Li stood on the spot, merely waving her sword gently.

Ye Rudí's eyes widened in shock.

The entire crowd was somewhat stunned.

Lu Li, however, frowned. "Is that all?"

Ye Rudí paused for a moment, then chuckled lightly. "Then please be careful, Senior Sister Lu."

Boom--

As his voice fell, the purple sword in his hand instantly flared with blinding light.

Seen from afar, the light emanating from the sword resembled a small purple sun.

However, the radiance of this sun was excessively sharp and dazzling.

"Invincible Sword!"

Along with the blooming radiance, Ye Rudí's shout echoed throughout the venue, and then his body surged forward fiercely.

In the next moment, accompanied by surging, terrifying purple energy, a vast sword light slashed domineeringly towards Lu Li.

But the young woman remained unmoved. As the sword light approached, she slowly raised her green sword, meeting it with a slash!

Boom--

The sword light exploded once more!

Ye Rudí, glowing all over, was forced back repeatedly. The purple light on his sword dimmed.

The entire venue fell silent!

Ye Rudí's eyeballs bulged.

This...

Was still just one move!

But Lu Li smiled.

That's it?

Then, she took a step forward. As Ye Rudi's gaze shifted, she raised her sword and slashed!

BOOM--

Her sword light wasn't large, but it was fast, and when it fell, it felt incredibly heavy.

Ye Rudi resisted with all his might, but he was forced back repeatedly, his purple sword's light dimming.

BOOM--

And then, Lu Li's second sword arrived, the light just the same. This time, Ye Rudi's purple sword was extinguished.

He was no longer shocked, but somewhat, terrified!

So strong!

BOOM--

However, he didn't have much time. Lu Li's third sword arrived, identical to the previous ones.

Ye Rudi was about to dodge when the sword light already fell. The hand holding his sword trembled.

So numb!

"Senior Sister..." He quickly waved his hands. He couldn't win, he simply couldn't win. If this continued, he'd be utterly humiliated.

Unfortunately, Lu Li acted as if she hadn't heard. Her fourth sword slashed out, sending Ye Rudi flying backward. The tiger's mouth of his sword-holding hand burst open.

Ye Rudi's expression changed, no, he was terrified!

Lu Li struck again.

And she sped up!

Fifth sword, sixth sword, seventh sword...

Lu Li advanced step by step, unleashing sword after sword. Each strike looked incredibly simple and direct.

But each sword forced Ye Rudi back.

He was powerless to resist!

On the field, everyone had been marveling at Lu Li's terrifying power.

Even Ye Jiangshan and Liu Xiu were no exception.

Although they had already thought highly of this Lu Li, in the face of reality, they found that their previous estimations were far too conservative.

The young woman was stronger than they could have imagined!

Her growth rate was unimaginable!

But as they watched, they realized something was wrong, because Lu Li showed no signs of stopping.

She had already forced Ye Rudi back repeatedly, even bursting the tiger's mouth and drawing blood.
