Duan Yu was extremely arrogant. He actually incorporated the unique move of the Immortal Sword into the move of Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens. It was truly difficult to defend against. In this world, only he could bring the Immortal Sword Technique to such a level.
Lan Hua's expression was grave, because the power of the incoming sword strike was simply too great.
This sword strike was formed by the combination of five swords. The broad giant sword posed a great threat, and with the assistance of the celestial flying immortal technique, it possessed immense power.
Lan Hua fired three arrows in unison, all three aimed directly at the sword's edge.
boom!
The three talisman arrows were sent flying in response, greatly reducing the power of the immortal sword's only move, but its momentum continued unabated, leaving him with little time.
Lan Hua used the Flowing Light Step to retreat rapidly in mid-air, while simultaneously waving her right hand repeatedly to hastily summon three defensive talismans.
boom!
The sword's unique move broke through three layers of defense, creating gusts of wind that shot straight at Lan Hua's heart.
"Lanhua..."
Kong Xuan and Huo Xiaoxiao shouted in unison, and even Shen Yuyan was so surprised that she opened her mouth.
boom!
The sword struck Lan Hua hard in the chest, producing a loud bang and pinning her to the ground, but it did not pierce through her heart.
Duan Yu was shocked. "How could this be? No matter how strong your physical body is, this one sword of mine is enough to pierce you through!"
Lan Hua turned her head and gave a smile to the group of worried people.
Just in case, he placed the dragon scale that Hei Lie had given him on his chest as a breastplate, and unexpectedly it proved to be very useful.
The dragon scales have extremely strong defenses; even a celestial being would have to expend considerable effort to defend against them, let alone Duan Yu, a mere mortal.
Although he avoided being pierced, Lan Hua still endured the immense force, which displaced his internal organs and caused him to vomit blood profusely.
Lan Hua scoffed, "You have armor, but I have something to protect myself!"
After saying that, Lan Hua used both hands together, exerting all her strength, to trap the five swords.
Silently channeling the Heavenly Elixir Technique, a domineering crimson lotus fire erupted from his palm, imbuing the five swords with a familiar move.
Upon seeing this, Wei Wuji and He Guinian were both secretly amazed, "This kid is truly remarkable, he can even come up with such a wicked trick!"
Duan Yu was startled and hurriedly activated his sword technique, trying to withdraw the five swords, but it was too late.
With Zi Yue's personal guidance, Lan Hua's physical body was already formidable, capable of fighting against beasts of the same realm head-on, and the power of her palms kept the five swords completely still.
Duan Yu was furious and immediately unleashed the sword energy of the Five Swords, but Lan Hua possessed defensive items and was not afraid at all.
The powerful flames completely enveloped the five swords. The Crimson Lotus Fire was extremely domineering; even without a forging furnace, the five swords would not escape being melted by this fire.
In a moment of desperation, Duan Yu quickly rushed towards Lan Hua, and with a wave of his right hand, several terrifying sword beams were unleashed.
Lan Hua used the Flowing Light Step to quickly dodge the sword light, causing Duan Yu to miss his target.
Duan Yu was extremely anxious. The five swords were the culmination of half his life's work, and he could not allow them to be destroyed like this. He unleashed countless sword beams with both hands, shooting towards Lan Hua.
Even with Lan Hua's skillful movements, she couldn't withstand the dense sword light. After several dozen breaths, Lan Hua revealed a wicked smile, exerted force with both palms, and shot all five swords toward Duan Yu.
"Here's your sword back!"
In the rush, although the five swords were not melted, they were left with obvious palm prints. The uneven stress under the high temperature caused them to bend, which was no different from being destroyed.
Duan Yu drew his sword technique, only to find that he could not connect with the flying sword at all. The five swords were useless, so he quickly flew away to avoid the five swords rushing towards him.
"Lan Hua, you bastard, you actually destroyed my flying sword!"
Duan Yu was furious. Having lost his flying sword, he had lost most of his strength, making it difficult for him to unleash the full power of the Immortal Sword Technique.
Lan Hua snorted coldly, and just now she used the Crimson Lotus Flame, which not only destroyed the five swords, but also burned away all the spiritual power in the swords.
"Without the Five Swords, what will you use to fight me?"
After saying this, Lan Hua used the "Seven Days to Return" technique, sending dozens of invisible arrows flying towards Duan Yu's neck and above.
Duan Yu was extremely wary of the invisible rain of arrows that came his way. Having lost five swords, he could only use his fingers as swords to unleash sword-like attacks.
After countless sword beams blocked the invisible arrow, a talisman arrow suddenly pierced through the airflow and shot towards Duan Yu's brow.
Duan Yu was taken aback. With five swords gone, he quickly raised his arm to parry.
boom!
A loud bang was heard, and Duan Yu was knocked to the ground, his arm joints throbbing with excruciating pain.
"So what if you're wearing sword armor? How many of my arrows can your body withstand?"
"Everyone says you've stepped into the Pill God Realm with one foot in, what a load of rubbish! You haven't stepped into it with either foot in, so you're still just a Pill Cloud Realm cultivator!"
Lan Hua shouted and stepped forward, shooting another black iron arrow at Duan Yu's brow.
boom!
Duan Yu raised his arm to block again, but there were faint signs of joint dislocation.
Lan Hua then fired ten arrows in succession, completely shattering Duan Yu's arm. The latter hung his arms and knelt on the ground.
The onlookers were stunned. Even the powerful Sword Sect Master was no match for a junior. Archery cultivators were truly terrifying.
"Hahaha... My illustrious reputation, Duan Yu, has been ruined by a mere brat like you!"
Lan Hua snorted, "A lifetime of illustrious reputation? You dare to claim it?"
"You colluded with the leader of the Overlord Blade Sect, sent people to steal items from the forbidden area of the Pill God Palace, and shamelessly came to my door to demand an explanation, framing me for some undeserved crime. Your character is despicable!"
The onlookers in mid-air all turned to look at Xu Hao, whose face twitched. He was truly ashamed and wanted to erase Lan Hua from their sight.
After speaking, Lan Hua drew her bow and conjured an invisible arrow, which burned with the flames of a red lotus.
"metropolitan!"
Xue Yuan shouted, trying to rush into the battlefield and snatch Duan Yu, but several figures flashed and stopped him.
The people who stopped him were several rogue cultivators at the Danxia Realm from the Xuanhuang Continent.
"A duel to the death must not be disturbed by a third party!"
Although these rogue cultivators were generally impartial, they genuinely disapproved of the Immortal Sword Sect's conduct and thus intervened.
Sudden.
Duan Yu let out a wild laugh, and a black box appeared out of thin air; it was a box filled with eerie mist.
"Hahaha...then let the entire Xuanhuang Continent perish together!"
After saying that, Duan Yu floated up and rushed towards Lan Hua. His dantian faintly lit up, which was the prelude to the self-destruction of his Yuan Dan.
"Trying to self-destruct? Dream on!"
Before the black box was even opened, Lan Hua shot out an arrow. The domineering red lotus arrow instantly pierced through Duan Yu's brow and dantian, leaving him no chance to even self-destruct his dantian.
Lan Hua transformed into a streak of light, rushed to Duan Yu's side, and took the black box into her palm.
"ah..."
The arrow struck Duan Yumei's heart, causing her to lose consciousness instantly and struggle in agony.
The crimson flames were burning away his vital energy along his entire body's meridians.
"Sect Master!"
Xue Yuan, who was blocked, could only watch all of this happen, but he couldn't step in to save people.
A moment later, Duan Yu collapsed to the ground, lifeless, with white smoke emanating from his body—the result of the Red Lotus Flame burning his Yuan Power.
A mountain breeze blew by, and the white smoke dispersed with the wind.
Lan Hua snorted, "The grudges between us are as utterly ended as this white smoke!"
"Sect Master..." Xue Yuan was filled with grief.
The onlookers were still in shock, unable to believe that the dignified leader of the Sword Sect had suffered such a crushing defeat.
They thought the battle would last three days and three nights, or at the very least, a day.
As a result, Duan Yu passed away less than half a day later.
"Lan Hua's archery skills are truly terrifying. He is probably the number one Danxia Realm expert on the Xuanhuang Continent right now!"
"Yes, so young, it's absolutely insane!"
"Who exactly is his teacher, and where did he get his skills from?"
"......"
Lan Hua coughed lightly, spitting out another mouthful of blood. As her highly tense mind relaxed, she immediately became somewhat listless.
He was already injured by Duan Yu's only move of the Immortal Sword, and then he fired so many talisman arrows with all his might, which consumed a great deal of his Yuan energy and talisman power, making his injuries worse.
Lan Hua looked at Huo Xiaoxiao and the others again and smiled slightly.
Immediately, with a slap of his right hand, the black box flew into the hands of Wei Wuji, the master of the Pill God Palace.
"Lord, the black box has been returned to its rightful owner. Don't lose it again!"
Wei Wuji nodded slightly to show his gratitude.
"Oh no, I'm doomed! I've invested all my savings in Duan Yu, now I'm going to be eating dirt!"
"Yeah, I'm so poor I'm down to my underwear!"
"......"
Those who bet on Lanhua are a minority, and this time they have made a fortune.
Lan Hua looked around and shouted, "Today's duel is over. Thank you all for watching. After you settle your bets, please disperse and do not disturb the peace of the farmers in the mountains!"
"Disperse, disperse..."
"Made a lot of money today, time to go home and have a feast!"
"..."
"Wait, everyone!"
A deep, resonant voice came from among the onlookers, echoing throughout the Undying Mountain, indicating that the speaker possessed extraordinary cultivation.
Lan Hua's expression changed slightly. "Is someone causing trouble?"
