Guang Yu's First Battle with Qian Renxue! Please Keep Reading

Guang Yu said solemnly, "Then I'll be in charge of giving you massages for a year!"

"Sure!"

But the moment Qian Renxue finished speaking, she immediately realized something was wrong. "Wait!"

"That's not right!"

"Why do I feel like I'm still the one losing out?"

"N-No way!"

Qian Renxue immediately went back on her word. "If you lose, you have to agree to one thing for me. I haven't thought of it yet, but I'll tell you once I do."

"Whatever." Guang Yu shrugged.

"Then let's begin!"

"Martial Soul Possession!"

"Six-winged Angel!"

Holy radiance illuminated the great hall as Qian Renxue's god-level Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul appeared behind her.

It carried a powerful, sacred pressure. Beneath her feet rose three soul rings: yellow, yellow, purple.

But the wings behind her had only two wings.

The god-level Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul began with only two wings.

It would become four-winged after reaching level 60, and only at level 90 would it gain six wings.

Level 90 was when the god-level Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul displayed its true strength.

So Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was not yet powerful enough, but it could not be underestimated. It still possessed the strength of a top-tier Beast Martial Soul.

A confident smile curled Qian Renxue's lips as she crooked a finger at Guang Yu. "Come on, then. I'd like to see how a level 24 Soul Grandmaster like you plans to defeat me."

What blatant arrogance, Qian Renxue. Guang Yu thought, decisively summoning his Martial Soul as well.

"Light God Sword!"

Two soul rings rose beneath his feet: yellow and purple.

Both of them entered battle stance.

"The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul possesses the attributes of light and Divine Fire. It also has powerful purification and dissolution effects, capable of weakening the power of an enemy's soul skills and continuously dissolving their Soul Power in battle."

"In other words, if I keep fighting her, my Soul Power could be dissolved away before I even realize it. In a prolonged battle, I'll definitely lose." Guang Yu rapidly assessed the situation.

"Hey! What are you spacing out for? Make your move already!" Qian Renxue urged.

"Don't rush. Against a powerhouse at the peak of the Soul Elder realm like you, shouldn't I think through my strategy first?" Guang Yu replied.

"Hehe, no matter what strategy you come up with, you won't beat me."

Qian Renxue had absolute confidence in herself because she had never lost to an opponent below her level.

A quick battle is my only chance of defeating her.

With that thought, Guang Yu immediately entered his strongest state.

"Second Soul Skill, Aurora Sword Body!"

"Light God Sword Intent!"

With both his enhancement skill and Sword Intent activated, Guang Yu's aura and strength surged.

"Oh? Sword Intent? You're a Sword Dao Genius too." Qian Renxue looked intrigued. Then a longsword appeared in her hand. "Interesting. How about we compare swordsmanship first?"

"Angel Sword Intent!"

As she spoke,

Sword Qi and intangible Sword Intent rose around Qian Renxue as well.

The strength of her Sword Intent was roughly equal to Guang Yu's.

Both of them were nearly at the threshold of breaking through into the Second Realm of Sword Dao.

Yet her Angel Sword Intent was somewhat different from Qian Daoliu's Angel Sword Intent.

"A contest of swordsmanship? Sure!"

"Then here I come, Sister Xue'er."

Guang Yu instantly thrust his sword forward.

Qian Renxue swung her own sword as well.

Bang!

Clang!

The two thrusts collided.

They withdrew their swords at the same time, then struck again.

Clang!

Blade met blade.

"Heh."

Both of them smiled.

Then they immediately began exchanging sword techniques and forms.

They traded moves at high speed, their swords constantly colliding. In the great hall, they engaged in an intense close-quarters clash and a contest of swordsmanship.

Every move and form was extraordinarily similar. Their motions, sword strikes, and combinations seemed as though they had been carved from the same mirror.

He's using Grandfather's self-created sword technique, and he's already completely grasped its essence. This guy's comprehension of the Sword Dao is actually this strong. Qian Renxue was shocked once again.

Guang Yu had also realized that Qian Renxue was using the sword technique taught by Qian Daoliu.

The two leaped into the air.

As they rose, they frantically swung their swords at each other.

The constant sounds of clashing swords rang out—clang, clang, clang.

They spun simultaneously and slashed again.

Bang!

Their swords pressed against one another, both gripping their hilts with arms extended.

They remained locked together in midair, staring into each other's eyes as they slowly spun and descended.

The Seven Great High Priests standing nearby were speechless.

What?

Guang Ling's lips twitched slightly. "G-Great Enshrined, are they sparring, or are they performing a sword dance?"

"Ahem." Qian Daoliu gave two dry coughs and reminded them, "You two should be a little more serious."

"It seems your swordsmanship is no weaker than mine. Then let's fight like Soul Masters now." Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened. "First Soul Skill, Angel Assault!"

"First Soul Skill, Aurora Seven Star Slash!"

"Heh, you want to clash with me head-on? You've got guts." Qian Renxue smiled disdainfully.

The two attacks collided head-on.

Bang!

But in the next instant, Guang Yu abruptly slashed in another direction.

"What! So fast!" Qian Renxue was startled.

Yet she still reacted easily, increasing the force of her Soul Power as she intended to send Guang Yu flying with a single strike.

She blocked Guang Yu's second slash, but not only did she fail to knock him away, Guang Yu immediately slashed from another angle.

"How is this possible!"

"Of course it is. My First Soul Skill has seven slashes in total. Once the first slash is unleashed, it cannot be interrupted. How could your strength possibly send me flying?"

"Damn it!"

Qian Renxue defended against the third slash at the limit.

Bang! Bang, bang!

She barely withstood the first six slashes. By the final slash, she could no longer react in time or gather her Soul Power to block it.

"Not good!"

Bang!

Guang Yu unleashed his final slash.

Qian Renxue was instantly sent flying.

The sword in her hand also flew free at that moment and was knocked to the ground.

"My sword was actually..."

Looking at the sword that had been knocked from her hand, Qian Renxue's little face darkened. For a Sword Cultivator, having one's sword knocked away was a humiliation.

"Damn it!"

"Second Soul Skill, Angel Light Blade!"

Light Energy rapidly gathered behind her, condensing into twelve light blades.

In the next moment, they attacked Guang Yu simultaneously from different angles. These light blades could fly according to Qian Renxue's control.

At that moment, Guang Yu had already switched to the Ice Divine Bow Martial Soul.

And activated Ice Wings!

He swiftly fired three Explosive Arrows directly at the incoming light blades.

Bang! Bang, bang!

After striking three light blades, the three arrows exploded and directly destroyed all three.

While evading the remaining nine light blades, Guang Yu fired Explosive Arrows one after another to destroy them.

Bang, bang, bang!

"This! He actually neutralized my Second Soul Skill just like that?" Qian Renxue was deeply shocked.

She had thought that once she used her Second Soul Skill, Guang Yu would certainly be knocked down. This guy is even stronger than I imagined!

"Hey, Sister Xue'er, this isn't the time to be surprised~"

Qian Renxue instantly snapped back to her senses, but by then Guang Yu had already rapidly fired more than a dozen arrows at her.
