Another Mid-Battle Breakthrough

A soaring sword intent rose between Nalan Yanran and Tang Ying.

For Sword Cultivator, they fear nothing but having no opponents!

Especially that feeling of meeting a worthy opponent!

And at that moment, they found it.

Therefore, as the battle progressed, the two of them became increasingly excited.

The two had barely finished canceling out each other's Dou Technique when they were already charging at each other in the next second.

"Clang clang clang"

The black and white swords clashed incessantly.

"Swish, swish, swish"

Accompanying this was a series of Sword Qi strikes, causing the surrounding Azure Square ground to become crisscrossed with intricate patterns.

Even when the two were fighting, their unruly Sword Qi would occasionally affect other people around them.

However, when those affected turned their angry gazes towards them...

What you see is even more terrifying Sword Qi flying around!

Faced with this situation, most people would have a drastic change in expression, then obediently accept their bad luck and run away to a place further away from the two people...

When big shots clash, you can't afford to mess with them!

At the same time, as they fought, the two unconsciously spread their Dou Qi Wings and flew into the air.

After yet another clash, the two briefly separated.

Because they had been attacking with Sword Qi from time to time, both of them were already somewhat exhausted.

Moreover, each of them had sustained some injuries.

Fortunately, they were only minor injuries and did not significantly affect their fighting ability.

However, Tang Ying was one star higher than Nalan Yanran in terms of cultivation level, and his current condition was also better than Nalan Yanran's.

At least his energy expenditure wasn't as high as Nalan Yanran's.

However, while Tang Ying felt slightly dissatisfied with the result, he also secretly admired Nalan Yanran.

After all, his opponent, with the cultivation of Eight-Star Dou Emperor, was almost able to fight him to a draw!

The score is at most 5.5 to 4.5, his advantage is negligible!

"Hahaha, that's exhilarating! It's been a long time since a fellow Sword Cultivator of my generation has been able to fight me to this extent! My name is Tang Ying, may I ask your esteemed name, young lady?"

At this moment, Tang Ying was clearly very interested in Nalan Yanran, who was also Sword Cultivator.

As a woman with such talent in Sword Dao, it would be hard for Tang Ying not to be interested!

Tang Ying originally thought that he only had the sword in his heart, after all, he had no woman in his heart, so drawing the sword would naturally make him a god!

But now, the appearance of Nalan Yanran has stirred a ripple in his heart.

Tang Ying wasn't attracted to Nalan Yanran's appearance.

Although Nalan Yanran was indeed very beautiful in his eyes, female cultivators generally wouldn't be too ugly once their cultivation level improved.

He had even seen many women whose beauty rivaled that of Nalan Yanran.

However, it was only Nalan Yanran who stirred a different feeling in his heart.

This is mainly due to the enhanced aura that Nalan Yanran possesses as a Sword Cultivator!

It's no wonder that Tang Ying, who originally only had his mind on the sword, was attracted to Nalan Yanran.

Nalan Yanran!

Unlike Tang Ying's feelings for her, Nalan Yanran remained calm throughout.

Sword Cultivator are pure and single-minded!

Before meeting Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran might have been attracted to Tang Ying, but that's clearly impossible now!

If things could change, she wouldn't be Sword Cultivator, she wouldn't be Nalan Yanran!

Nalan Yanran only introduced herself by name out of respect for Tang Ying, who was also Sword Cultivator.

"Nalan Yanran, what a beautiful name!"

Tang Ying, though slightly moved, still wore a smile as he murmured Nalan Yanran's name.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Yanran frowned.

"What's wrong with this guy? He was fine just a moment ago, how come he suddenly started acting strangely?"

Nalan Yanran wondered to herself.

I wonder what expression Tang Ying will make when he finds out how Nalan Yanran feels about him right now?

Just as Tang Ying was wondering if this was his destiny, Nalan Yanran showed no mercy, and her attack came once again!

"Heaven-Raising Nine Swords - Slay the Netherworld!"

Dou Qi condensed on the snow-white longsword, and the next moment, a crescent-shaped, jet-black slash swept out!

Seeing Nalan Yanran launch another attack, Tang Ying snapped out of his daydreams.

He didn't want to be looked down upon by the girl who had captured his heart because of his defeat!

Not only that, he also wants to defeat his opponent and show them his charm!

"Sword Shadow World Annihilation!"

Facing the Sword Qi that Nalan Yanran Yanran slashing horizontally with her sword, Tang Ying's eyes blazed, and he directly cleaved down vertically!

"Keng"

In the blink of an eye, the two Sword Qi collided.

Currently, the two sides are at a stalemate.

However, as time went on, it became clear that Nalan Yanran's Sword Qi was being suppressed.

"Click~"

At a certain moment, cracks began to appear on the Sword Qi that Nalan Yanran had unleashed, and the cracks were spreading rapidly.

Although the Sword Qi that Tang Ying unleashed was showing signs of weakening, it clearly still had some power left.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but frown slightly.

"It seems I've won..."

At the same time, the smile on Tang Ying's lips became even more pronounced.

Now, I should be able to leave a deep impression on the other person, right?

All I can say is that Tang Ying's thinking is quite straightforward and direct...

They actually thought they could get the other person's attention by defeating them.

"Boom"

In the end, the Sword Qi that Nalan Yanran unleashed shattered.

Even after its power was greatly reduced, the Sword Qi that Tang Ying unleashed still flew straight toward Nalan Yanran.

With a deafening roar, amidst the rampaging Sword Qi, Nalan Yanran was sent flying.

During this time, blood began to seep from the corner of her mouth.

"Miss Nalan!"

Upon seeing Nalan Yanran injured, Tang Ying also exclaimed in surprise.

After all, his intention was not to seriously injure the girl who had captured his heart!

"Boom"

However, before he could make a move, Nalan Yanran had already flapped the Dou Qi Wings on her back, forcibly stabilizing her figure in mid-air.

Furthermore, during this time, an even more powerful aura erupted from Nalan Yanran's body.

Upon realizing what was happening, Tang Ying's eyes widened in surprise.

"They actually used my help to achieve their breakthrough!"

Tang Ying muttered to himself incredulously.

However, after the initial shock, Tang Ying's interest in Nalan Yanran only grew stronger because of her bold move!

It's fair to say that no girl before had ever made him feel this way.

Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran, who had broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Emperor realm with Tang Ying's help, was closing her eyes to stabilize her realm.

It must be said that Tang Ying truly deserves to be called a gentleman.

At this moment, he had no intention of disturbing Nalan Yanran's efforts to stabilize her cultivation.

In fact, he had already won the fight they had just fought.

This was something that the spectators watching the fight between the two could all see.

However, attacking someone who is in the process of breaking through is clearly not in line with Tang Ying's values.

What's more, this is the first girl in so many years who has made his heart flutter!

However, neither Nalan Yanran, who was consolidating her cultivation, nor Tang Ying, who was waiting quietly, noticed that a shadow was stalking closer to them...
