"Okay, then let me see how much progress you have made over the years?" Yun Qianmo pointed with his sword and said.

"Crack!" A thunderclap sounded above the night sky, and a sword light tore through the night sky, as if to tear apart the entire world.

And at the moment when the thunder exploded, Ye Lanxuan and Yun Qianmo also attacked at the same time.

The two sword beams intertwined and shone brightly, even brighter than the lightning in the sky.

The terrifying sword power was so overwhelming that even Hua Yue and the others were knocked to the ground. The Fifth Prince and Qu Fengting were even more shocked and retreated repeatedly until they hit the courtyard wall and managed to stabilize their bodies. Their sturdy armor made of refined steel had spider-web-like cracks on it, and their chests were filled with blood. They couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

However, the dozens of soldiers with good skills who were holding the Cloud-Piercing and Stone-Breaking Bows suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

A strong person, this is a truly strong person. This was the only thought in their minds before they fainted.

The thunder died down, the sword flashed, and the world fell into darkness again.

Ye Lanxuan and Yun Qianmo had already retreated several steps. A trace of blood quietly seeped out from Ye Lanxuan's shoulder, and Yun Qianmo's side was also covered in blood.

In this sword fight, neither of them gained any advantage and the result was evenly matched.

Before they could even settle, the two men once again launched their swords at the enemy.

The swords collided, another thunderclap sounded, and blood spurted out from between the two men.

But the two men still had no intention of stopping. With a move of their feet, two sword beams once again crossed the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Lanxuan and Yun Qianmo had exchanged nearly a hundred moves.

Blood fell like raindrops, spreading to the ground like blooming roses. Yet, it was impossible to tell whose blood it was. The two figures crossed each other again and again, so fast that they seemed like countless phantoms. Even Mu Hanyan's eyesight couldn't tell who was who.

Mu Hanyan gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, her heart in her throat.

It was not until now that she realized how terrifying the strength of those true strong men in the realm of Sword Saint was. Even if she could rely on those pieces of Destiny Star Discs to forcibly increase her strength to the realm of Sword Saint, she would not be able to compete with them.

In a decisive battle of this level, she didn't even have the chance to intervene.

Finally, the figures separated again at the touch of a finger.

Ye Lanxuan's body was covered in blood and his face was pale. Through the mask, Yun Qianmo's expression could not be seen, but judging from the large amount of blood on his body and the fingers that were constantly gripping the hilt of the sword, it was obvious that he was also seriously injured.

"Lan Xun, you really didn't let me down." After a long time, Yun Qianmo spoke.

"Why didn't you kill me? Why did you stop after that sword strike just now?" Ye Lanxuan said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Hanyan and the others were shocked. Judging from the final battle, although Ye Lanxun was seriously injured, he still had the upper hand. At least that's what they all thought. But after hearing Ye Lanxun's words, they realized that Yun Qianmo actually had the opportunity to kill Ye Lanxun, but simply held back.

Could it be that Yun Shaomo's strength is so strong that even Ye Lanxun is not his opponent?

"If I kill you, can I survive?" Yun Qianmo said leisurely.

Mu Hanyan and others finally felt relieved. It turned out that Yun Qianmo's strength was not stronger than Ye Lanxun. Even if he could kill Ye Lanxun, he would have to pay the price of dying together.

"Lan Xun, I admit that you are very strong, which exceeds my original expectations of you. But, listen to my advice and take her away." Yun Qianmo continued slowly.

"What if you don't leave?" Ye Lanxuan said firmly.

"Haha, I forgot. With your temper, how could you leave? Well, you can take care of yourself." Yun Qianmo suddenly smiled with relief, turned around and left, and at the same time threw a jade bottle to Ye Lanxun.

"Wait..." Ye Lanxuan took the jade bottle almost out of habit and shouted anxiously.

"I know what you want to ask, but I can't tell you. Anyway, you will know it soon." Yun Qianmo waved his hand, soared into the air, and soon disappeared into the night.

Ye Lanxuan stared at the direction where Yun Qianmo left, speechless. There was a hint of loneliness, confusion, and even reluctance in his eyes.

"Lan Xun." Mu Hanyan came to his side and held his hand tightly.

"I remember when he taught me swordsmanship, every time I was injured and exhausted, he would give me a bottle of pills." Ye Lanxuan said as he opened the jade bottle and swallowed the pills inside.

This was obviously a rare and precious healing elixir. It melted in the mouth, and the scars on Ye Lanxuan's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the energy he had consumed was also quickly replenished.

Soon, there was no trace of scar on his body, and his aura was as deep and restrained as before. He was calm and composed, yet gave people a feeling of oppression as heavy as a peak.

But a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"He doesn't want to kill me, right?" Mu Hanyan said, holding his hand.

At first, Mu Hanyan thought Yun Qianmo was out to kill her, and Hua Yue and the others certainly thought so, which was why they fought to the death. But now that she thought about it, she realized that he had never intended to kill her; he just wanted her to leave Beining Pass and Luo'an City.

"If you don't want to die, leave Beining Pass and leave Luoan City. Otherwise, no one can save you." His words sounded like a threat at first, but now they sounded more like a reminder.

"If he wants to kill you, even I can't save you." Ye Lanxuan sighed.

Although he and Yun Qianmo did not fight to the death in the end, before leaving, he still threw a bottle of pills to him as before, but the feelings between them were so distant.

He knew that Yun Qianmo, who had been his teacher, friend, and brother, had gone away from him like a lonely figure disappearing in the night.

"Don't think too much, you are still friends, aren't you?" Mu Hanyan could understand Ye Lanxun's feelings at the moment. She looked deeply into Ye Lanxun's lonely eyes and said.

"Yes, we are still friends." Ye Lanxuan suddenly smiled, with a sense of ease and relief in his smile.

Yun Qianmo had no connection to Mu Hanyan, and there was no need to remind her. He was clearly doing this because of Ye Lanxun. Knowing how much Mu Hanyan held in Ye Lanxun's heart, he personally came to remind her. If Ye Lanxun hadn't appeared, he might have taken matters into his own hands and taken Mu Hanyan out of Beining Pass.

No matter why he came back to life, no matter what secrets he hides, at least he still regards Ye Lanxuan as a friend, and that is enough.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yuzhe asked in confusion, once again showing his slowness.
