Before her, a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree.

The Foundation Establishment Realm is a significant watershed on the path of cultivation. Stepping into this realm means possessing power beyond that of ordinary people, being able to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and unleash various magical spells.

In her view, the gap between the Martial Grandmaster realm and the Foundation Establishment realm is like an insurmountable chasm.

In the blink of an eye, the air blade that Qiao Qianshan unleashed, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, hurtled towards Zhao Ziyi at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, the energy blade collided fiercely with the sword energy unleashed by Zhao Ziyi.

"boom!"

In an instant, a deafening roar resounded, as if it were a furious cry from heaven and earth.

The powerful impact spread outwards like a surging tide, distorting and deforming the surrounding air, producing sharp whistling sounds.

But the situation reversed instantly in the next moment.

Zhao Ziyi's originally confident sword aura instantly dissipated and vanished into the air under this powerful impact.

Qiao Qianshan's qi blade, however, remained undiminished in its momentum, carrying residual power, like a sharp scythe of death, continuing to slash towards Zhao Ziyi.

Zhao Ziyi was shocked to see this.

She never expected things to turn out this way.

Without a second thought, she quickly used her movement technique to try and dodge the fatal blow.

This woman's agility was truly remarkable. In a flash, she transformed into a phantom, moving through the air like a ghost.

She dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding Qiao Qianshan's qi blade.

However, where she had just stood, snow chunks flew everywhere like bullets as the blade of energy passed, leaving a deep gash on the ground.

Looking at the deep mark, Zhao Ziyi felt a wave of fear wash over her.

She knew in her heart that if she had been even slightly slower, she would have been severely injured by Qiao Qianshan's sharp qi blade, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"You old bastard, no wonder you were so arrogant. So you've recovered your cultivation. But I underestimated you just now. Now I'll take your dog's life!"

Zhao Ziyi was furious and embarrassed, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

She swung her longsword repeatedly, the sword flashing like a blooming flower of death, as she lunged at Qiao Qianshan.

She made up her mind to suppress Qiao Qianshan in close combat.

Today, she is determined to capture Qiao Qianshan and find out what happened two months ago, after she left the Dragon Abyss Sword Mansion.

She was determined to find out the truth about Fang Han's life or death.

"My cultivation has reached a minor level, so I can use this woman to practice my skills and teach her a lesson on behalf of Fang Han."

Qiao Qianshan's heart stirred, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He didn't use any special moves, but instead wielded a long sword and engaged Zhao Ziyi in battle.

Both of them were using the renowned Zhenyue Sword Technique of the Longyuan Sword Sect.

The sword moves were identical, each move and stroke seemed to be carved from the same mold, and at first glance, they were almost indistinguishable.

However, upon closer examination of their swordsmanship styles, a stark difference becomes apparent.

Zhao Ziyi's swordsmanship style is just like a nimble swallow, light and fast.

Her swordplay was as smooth as flowing water, her figure moving freely among the sword shadows. Each strike carried a sense of agility, as if she could instantly break through her opponent's defenses.

Qiao Qianshan's swordsmanship, on the other hand, was like a towering mountain, seemingly simple yet profound, without any fancy moves.

Each of his sword strikes contained boundless power. They appeared ordinary but were actually deadly. Every move was steady and powerful, as if he could suppress the heavens and the earth under his sword.

However, upon closer examination of his sword intent, Qiao Qianshan is undoubtedly far more formidable.

The essence of this Zhenyue Sword Technique lies in the profoundness of its sword intent and momentum.

The sword intent is as solid and majestic as a mountain, and the sword momentum is as turbulent and powerful as a tide, bringing a strong pressure to the opponent like Mount Tai pressing down.

Only in this way can the opponent lose their composure and ultimately collapse under immense pressure.

The two exchanged blows, their swords flashing, and for a time it was difficult to determine who was superior.

In the first few dozen moves, the two seemed evenly matched, with sparks flying as their swords clashed, and neither side gaining a clear advantage.

Of course, Qiao Qianshan did not show off his skills. He mostly played defensively and did not take the initiative to attack very often.

However, after several dozen moves, Zhao Ziyi gradually became impatient.

Her brows were furrowed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead; she was secretly anxious.

Because at this moment, she was already going all out, putting all her strength into every move, and every sword strike was filled with the determination to win.

She originally thought that as long as she went all out, she would be able to kill Qiao Qianshan with her sword soon.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Qianshan's proficiency in the Zhenyue Sword Technique far surpassed hers.

Although Qiao Qianshan mostly played defensively, she felt that breaking through Qiao Qianshan's defense would not be an easy task.

"You...how do you know the Zhenyue Sword Technique?"

As Zhao Ziyi attacked through gritted teeth, she angrily demanded, "Before you became an instructor at the Dragon Abyss Sword Mansion, you were merely an outer disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect. According to the sect's rules, you weren't qualified to learn this level of swordsmanship. I only joined the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect two months ago, and it was only then that my senior brother taught me this swordsmanship on behalf of my master. You must have stolen the Zhenyue Sword Technique, which is a grave crime! Even if you don't die by my hand today, you will be executed by the sect!"

This woman isn't stupid; she has some cleverness.
