Chen Kun said proudly, "Indeed, now that you're awake, you must be in high spirits, perfect for a sparring match!"
Lan Hua didn't refuse, "Let's fight!"
Lan Hua followed Chen Kun to the training ground; it was already dawn.
Shen Yuyan stood on one side of the martial arts arena, hands on her hips, looking rather lazy.
The news that Chen Kun challenged Lan Hua to a duel quickly spread throughout the entire Demon Suppression Division.
The Demon Suppression Guards rushed to the training ground, fearing there wouldn't be enough spots to watch the battle. Even the rooftops surrounding the training ground were filled with people.
Lan Hua was speechless. It was just a martial arts sparring match, so why were there so many people watching? It seemed like the entire Demon Suppression Division had come.
Shen Yuyan smiled and said, "This isn't the first time Chen Kun has challenged someone to a duel. He's been in the Demon Suppression Division for many years, and he'll seek out any decent expert who comes in!"
"This kid just arrived at the Demon Suppression Division and already got into a fight with me!" Guo Kai said with a smile.
Chen Kun laughed and said, "I have paid my respects to every expert in the Transformation Realm of the Sili Sect!"
Lan Hua said, "Brother Chen is truly a battle maniac!"
More and more people gathered around, and even Long Yifei, Luo Xiaobei, and Liu Shiyu came. The three of them flew into the air.
Lan Hua and Chen Kun bowed slightly to the commander and the two generals.
"In that case, let's fight!"
Lan Hua drew her bow and extended her right hand, making a gesture of invitation.
When exchanging ideas with colleagues, it's still important to maintain proper etiquette.
Chen Kun returned the salute and drew his long sword.
This sword is named Shuoyue, and it is a top-grade treasure that has accompanied its master in battle for many years.
With a slight increase in Yuan energy, the Shuoyue Sword emitted a formidable sword aura, its movements unpredictable, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
A faint light flashed beneath Lan Hua's feet, and she took dozens of steps back, widening the distance between herself and Chen Kun.
The unsuspecting demon-suppressing guards thought Lan Hua had slipped away.
With the bow fully drawn, Lan Hua unleashed the fourth move of the Invisible Arrow Technique, striking from all directions.
The massive arrow of light split into four, shooting towards Chen Kun from four directions.
Chen Kun's expression changed instantly, astonished by the speed of Lan Hua's invisible arrow.
With a gentle wave of her right hand, Lan Hua felt a violent fluctuation in the Yuan energy in front of her, and several sword beams appeared out of thin air.
Those sword beams did not originate from Chen Kun's sword, but appeared out of thin air in the space between the two.
The sword's sharp light accurately severed several invisible arrows of light in half.
Lan Hua was taken aback, realizing she had met her match.
Chen Kun knew the power of the Invisible Arrow, after all, he had witnessed Lan Hua shooting down demonic beasts. So, in his previous move, he avoided the sharp point of the Invisible Arrow and chose to break through the attack from the middle of the Light Arrow.
"What amazing swordsmanship! What incredible speed! Truly worthy of the title 'Sword of Wind and Moon'!"
Chen Kun laughed and said, "It's my turn to make a move! Watch out!"
With a series of swings of the Crescent Moon Sword, streaks of sword light appeared out of thin air, slashing towards Lan Hua from all directions.
Lan Hua used the Flowing Light Step, weaving through the gaps in the sword light, a perilous situation.
However, Lan Hua would not sit idly by and wait for death. While dodging the sword light, she shot out invisible light arrows one after another, which also caught Chen Kun off guard.
As their mutual probing neared its end, Lan Hua shouted, "Brother Chen, watch out!"
Lan Hua summoned a black iron talisman arrow, nocked it on the bowstring, and unleashed a powerful strike.
call out!
The black iron arrow was extremely fast, catching Chen Kun completely off guard. He couldn't intercept it in time.
Chen Kun had no time to think and quickly used the Crescent Moon Sword to defend himself.
boom!
Chen Kun was blasted away, leaving a long mark on the ground.
"What is the origin of that iron arrow? It's so fast, it happened in the blink of an eye!"
"Exactly! When has Chen Kun ever suffered such a huge loss!"
"That iron arrow is even more powerful than Boss Long's silver arrow!" Guo Kai exclaimed in surprise, then turned his face to look at Long Yifei.
Shen Yuyan wasn't particularly surprised, after all, she had already witnessed Lan Hua severely injure a Yuan Dan realm expert with a single arrow.
"This iron arrow contains extremely powerful spiritual energy and the aura of talismanic arts. Is this a... talismanic arrow?" Long Yifei exclaimed in surprise.
Luo Xiaobei and Liu Shiyu were both shocked. "Talisman Arrow? This kid actually knows talisman magic?"
Long Yifei nodded, "This kid's been hiding his true strength! Chen Kun is no match for him!"
"Otherwise, with his strength at the third level of the Transformation Realm, coupled with the wonder of the Wind and Moon Sword, he would definitely have completely defeated Lan Hua!"
After regaining his balance, Chen Kun raised the Shuoyue Sword and glanced at it, a hint of heartache in his eyes.
A dent remained on the sword, caused by being struck by a black iron arrow.
"Such immense force! It must be at least 30,000 jin!"
Lan Hua thought to herself, "No matter what kind of precious sword you are, once you're hit by my black iron arrow, I'll definitely give you a surprise!"
With a flick of his right hand, two black iron arrows came into his grasp once more.
"Brother Chen, be careful with the next arrow!"
Chen Kun was startled to see that Lan Hua was planning to launch two attacks at once, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Wait, stop!"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "Brother Chen, are you going to admit defeat?"
Chen Kun gave a wry smile and said, "I admit defeat!"
Lan Hua thought to herself, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Now I'm missing another black iron talisman arrow!"
Chen Kun sheathed the Shuoyue Sword. Although he still had the strength to fight, the Shuoyue Sword could not withstand any more damage.
If it takes a few more arrows, the Crescent Moon Sword will probably be ruined.
Long Yifei looked at Lan Hua and thought to himself, "This kid actually cultivates both archery and talisman techniques, hiding it so deeply. He's quite cunning! But he's definitely a promising talent!"
After the martial arts competition ended, Lan Hua returned to his room to tidy up before leaving the Demon Suppression Division.
There wasn't much to pack, just some trinkets from the capital. He planned to give them to his beautiful master to play with someday.
Lan Hua left the room and went straight to Long Yifei.
Long Yifei laughed and said, "You just defeated Chen Kun, and now you're here? What kind of reward do you want?"
Lan Hua shook her head. "I'm here to resign!"
Long Yifei's smile froze instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Why is this? Has my Demon Suppression Division mistreated you?"
Lan Hua shook her head, "The people in the Demon Suppression Division have treated me very well!"
"Is it because you think your position in the Demon Suppression Division is too low?"
"Indeed, your current strength is no less than that of several commanders. I will promote you to commander of the Demon Suppression Division right now!"
Lan Hua shook her head again. "Thank you for your kindness, Commander, but the Demon Suppression Division is just a part of my life. My mind is made up!"
Long Yifei sighed softly, "Lanhua, one last question: are you really unwilling to become my apprentice? I am willing to teach you everything I know!"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "I have one master, and I will only ever have one master!"
"Fine, since that's how it is, I won't keep you any longer! Come with me!"
Lan Hua looked puzzled. At this point, what was the commander still going to do?
Long Yifei brought Lan Hua to the martial arts arena, which puzzled Lan Hua greatly.
"Commander, what are you doing?"
Long Yifei smiled and said, "Although you are unwilling to become my apprentice, I see that you will go further than me in the path of archery in the future, so I still intend to pass on my ultimate skills to you!"
Lan Hua was taken aback. "The commander is going to teach me archery techniques?"
