Zuan raised his hand, and soon a thin layer of light gold film seemed to appear around several mountain peaks. He said loudly, "Let the two of you fight within this area, and stop when you've made your point."

Many experts were watching the battle from the academy. They were all shocked by the intensity of the golden membranes. Various martial arts competitions were often held in the academy. Usually, a magic array would be set up on the arena to prevent the aftershocks of the battle from damaging the academy buildings and injuring innocent spectators.

But that area is at most the size of a square, and it requires several days of preparation in advance.

As a result, the Chief Priest has now set up such a wide barrier in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, it can withstand the attacks of top experts such as Master Yan and Master Yun.

The morning sun bathed the tranquil valley, casting a faint golden glow on the verdant peaks.

Two peerless figures stood facing each other in the air. After their brief exchange, both were secretly shocked. They had thought that their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds during this period, and that they had come into contact with the power of a true god, so they should be able to easily defeat their opponent. However, the opponent's strength had improved far beyond their expectations.

Their eyes met, and the air around them seemed to freeze. The birds in the mountains seemed to sense the murderous intent between them, and they all disappeared without a trace.

Yan Xuehen lightly raised her hand, and the Flying Snow Sword was already unsheathed. The blade resembled a slender ice crystal, dazzling under the sunlight.

Against ordinary enemies, the light emanating from the sword alone would be enough to affect them, but she knew that this wouldn't be a problem for Yun Jianyue.

As expected, an ancient Changxin Palace Lantern suddenly rose behind Yun Jianyue. Although there was only a small flame inside the lantern that seemed about to dissipate at any moment, the soft light it emitted instantly covered all the surrounding mountain peaks, and even the sun in the sky paled in comparison, as if it had become night, and the Changxin Palace Lantern had transformed into a bright moon.

The dazzling Flying Snow Sword in Yan Xuehen's hand was no longer as dazzling as before. Sensing that the surrounding space was affected by the Changxin Palace Lantern, she remained calm and composed. The Flying Snow Sword trembled slightly, and the gentle mountain breeze around her turned into a biting cold wind. Fine snowflakes fell from the sky, and many mountain peaks that were originally covered by the Changxin Palace Lantern were quickly covered with a layer of white frost.

She seemed to float in the air, walking step by step towards the moon in the clouds.

With each step, a beautiful pattern of ice crystals and snowflakes forms beneath your feet.

Although each step appears elegant, the speed is extremely fast.

The air between her and Yun Jianyue froze at a visible speed, and sharp ice crystals appeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye, attacking Yun Jianyue.

Even before Yan Xuehen's sword wind arrived, the extreme cold was already like a cage, enough to freeze the blood and body of the world's top experts.

"Your Snowflake Divine Sword has reached a new level." Yun Jianyue chuckled, lightly touching the ice crystals with her toes, her figure blurring instantly, like flowing moonlight.

That omnipresent icy cage can imprison all tangible things, so how could it imprison moonlight?

Her waist was incredibly flexible, and her entire body avoided the numerous ice crystals with an exquisitely beautiful arc.

The entire academy erupted in gasps of amazement, and some of the younger disciples couldn't help but swallow hard.

"So beautiful..."

Zuan looked strange. Yun Jianyue was already a master of the Heavenly Demon Enchantress, and every smile and frown of hers was captivating. Now that she had obtained the power of the God of Desire, even without deliberately using her charm, how could an ordinary person resist her?

The moon in the clouds transformed into several beautiful afterimages in the sky, and when it reappeared, it was already beside Yan Xuehen.

The blade of the Crescent Moon Blade, as thin as a cicada's wing, flowed with a liquid silver luster, as if drawing the moonlight from the sky, tracing a perfect silver arc, and in the blink of an eye, another new moon appeared in the sky.

However, the top experts in the arena immediately sensed the danger under the beautiful moonlight. That ray of moonlight was actually condensed and compressed by a powerful sword aura, silently cutting towards Yan Xuehen's waist.

Yan Xuehen was surrounded by a blizzard, but in that instant, the fierce blizzard was cut apart by the beautiful moonlight.

At this moment, the Flying Snow Sword also moved. Instead of choosing to defend, she took the initiative to attack.

The tip of the sword was precisely positioned at the dot of that crescent-shaped arc.

Those with lower cultivation levels might subconsciously attack the crescent moon itself, unaware that the weakest point is actually outside the crescent moon.

With a soft cracking sound, the crescent moon shattered into countless points of light.

A chorus of praise rose from outside the valley; they admitted they could not have come up with such a perfect solution as Yan Xuehen.

Qiu Honglei became anxious: "Will Master be alright?"

Yun Yuqing patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that easy to lose."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Jianyue's figure burst out from the scattered points of light, approaching Yan Xuehen like a ghost.

She seemed to have no physical form, leaving only a beautiful black afterimage with each step. At this moment, only a handful of people in the entire academy could clearly see her true form.

She deliberately created an opening with that new moon, allowing countless moonbeams to seep into her body while Yan Xuehen was breaking through, causing her vital energy circulation to stagnate for a moment.

That slight delay was enough.

The crescent moon in my hand transformed into a densely woven net of moonlight, as tender and affectionate as a lover's caress.

Each blade of light guided the moonlight emanating from the Changxin Palace Lantern, making it not only physically sharp but also imbued with a force of law, influencing the enemy's actions and spirit.

The entire valley formed a moonlit domain dominated by her. At this moment, apart from Zaun, no one else could see Yun Jianyue's figure clearly, because—every ray of moonlight was her!
