This habit led the two women to continuously research and improve their abilities.

This is why, although Shui Mu Yin Ji's cultivation level is higher than that of Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue, her actual strength is still somewhat inferior to theirs.

Seeing Yaoyue's performance, Dongfang Bubai knew perfectly well that Yaoyue had gained new insights into the application of "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" and sword intent over the past few months.

Upon seeing this, Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly in his heart.

"Do you really think you're the only one who has gained new insights?"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Dongfang Bubai's figure flickered, leaving trails of afterimages in the air.

This time, as Dongfang Bubai moved swiftly, in addition to the special movement techniques from the Sunflower Manual, a sword aura would emerge from beneath his feet with each step he took into the air.

Combining the "toe sword" walking method in "Innate Formless Finger Sword" with Dongfang Bubai's own speed, Dongfang Bubai's speed increased by nearly double again.

With this speed increase, Dongfang Bubai instantly moved to a position three zhang away from Yaoyue, paused for a moment like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then moved to another position.

In the blink of an eye, with Dongfang Bubai's ghostly speed, he left nine afterimages centered on Yaoyue.

Furthermore, the nine afterimages were all located outside the sword domain formed by the fusion of Yaoyue's "Transferring Flowers and Jade" technique and sword intent.

In an instant, a series of broad, fierce, and domineering sword energies shot out from the eight afterimages and from Dongfang Bubai's own hands, all heading towards Yaoyue.

Taking in the surrounding situation, Yaoyue frowned.

"That stupid woman, she's been hiding her true abilities all this time."

With Yaoyue's knowledge, it was obvious that Dongfang Bubai had moved at an extremely fast speed outside of her sword domain, leaving afterimages in different directions.

Each pause left an afterimage while simultaneously unleashing a sword aura, and with a slow-to-faster approach, it created the current situation where it appeared as if nine sword auras were simultaneously piercing through the air and rushing towards him.

However, Yaoyue sneered inwardly at Dongfang Bubai's actions.

"A trivial skill."

Then, just like before, as Yaoyue's true energy circulated, the air around her was quickly stirred by a series of special energies.

However, this time, just as Yaoyue's energy touched the nine sword energies rushing towards her, the nine sword energies shattered as easily as bubbles.

Immediately afterwards, the nine originally enormous sword energies suddenly dispersed, transforming into hundreds and thousands of sword energies that densely packed together and rushed towards Yaoyue.

Noticing the change in the air, Yaoyue's expression changed slightly. With a wave of her hand, as the true energy in Yaoyue's body rapidly dissipated, the special energy permeating Yaoyue's body became even more concentrated.

Subsequently, within a three-zhang radius around Yaoyue, streams of energy mixed with sword intent formed vortexes that spun wildly. As they collided with the sword energies rushing in from all directions, the sword energies and energy quickly neutralized each other.

However, at that moment, another whooshing sound rang out quickly.

Sensing something was wrong, Yaoyue quickly turned her head to look.

Suddenly, a streak of snowy light appeared in her sight and shot toward Yaoyue at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, with the sword energy and internal force canceling each other out within the sword domain, this glimmer of snow light, once it appeared, was not affected by the sword intent and special internal force within Yaoyue's sword domain.

Almost instantly, he broke through from three zhang away to stand in front of Yaoyue.

When it broke through to within three inches of Yaoyue, the sword intent that burst forth from the snowy light actually tore apart the protective true energy surrounding Yaoyue's body.

It was only because of the resistance of this protective true energy that Yaoyue was able to see the glimmer of snow light that had broken through to her.

It turned out to be an ordinary-looking embroidery needle.

Even Yaoyue's expression changed upon seeing the embroidery needle in front of her.

He subconsciously raised his hand and tried to push away the embroidery needle in front of him by circulating his internal energy.

However, at such close range, even if Yaoyue sensed something was wrong immediately, how could her body react and keep up?

Therefore, before Yaoyue could immediately apply the energy gathered from "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" to the embroidery needle, the needle tip had already penetrated three inches further.

Strangely, just as the embroidery needle had advanced three inches and touched the clothes on Yaoyue's shoulder, it suddenly stopped and was then pulled back by Dongfang Bubai with his true energy.

Only then did Yaoyue realize that the end of the embroidery needle was actually wrapped with a silk thread formed from true energy.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at Dongfang Bubai's ability to condense his qi into threads, one can see just how precise his control over true qi is.

After retrieving the silver needle, Dongfang Bubai put one hand behind his back, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

With a slight lift of his chin, Dongfang Bubai's gaze towards Yaoyue held a touch of arrogance before he spoke: "Do you think the same move, after several months, will still be effective against this leader?"

Last time, Dongfang Bubai suffered a loss due to the special domain formed by the combination of Yaoyue's "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique and sword intent. In the past few months, Dongfang Bubai has spent almost all his spare time in the Sun Moon Divine Cult studying how to deal with Yaoyue's move.

The purpose of the sword energy emitted in the form of afterimages was merely to draw Yaoyue's attention to those sword energies.
