However, in such a short time, he has improved to this level, only slightly weaker than Dongfang Bubai himself.
As for the reason, Dongfang Bubai could easily have imagined it.
The change was clearly brought about by the wood carving given to him by Chu Qinghe.
Compared to Dongfang Bubai's solemn expression, Yaoyue was in high spirits.
With a flick of his hand, a feeling of stagnation, like water, filled the area within a ten-zhang radius around Yaoyue herself.
Feeling as if he were in a mud pit, Dongfang Bubai's speed was also affected, slowing down a bit again.
Not only that, but in this change, Dongfang Bubai's true energy in his body felt somewhat stagnant, and his body also felt as if it were being pressed down by a boulder by the strange power around him.
At the same time, Yaoyue silently flashed in front of Dongfang Bubai, and with her true energy gathered in her palm, she struck directly at Yaoyue, who was now wide open.
A victor's smile even appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai frowned sharply.
The next instant, with a soft shout from Dongfang Bubai, ten slender sword qi phantoms condensed from his true qi burst forth from his hands and rushed directly towards Yaoyue.
These ten sword qi phantoms were all slender and surrounded by sword qi.
But it was incredibly agile; the moment it burst forth from Dongfang Bubai's hands, it slithered through the air like ten nimble snakes towards Yaoyue.
It is a move from the "Innate Formless Finger Sword" manual, the Soft Sword - Ten-Sided Flow.
Previously, Yaoyue had fought against Chu Qinghe twice.
Naturally, he knew the moves contained in Chu Qinghe's "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" and the method of using internal force.
Dongfang Bubai's "Innate Formless Finger Sword" is itself a method of using moves and internal force within the "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi," so Yaoyue is naturally familiar with it.
However, Chu Qinghe's cultivation level was only at the first-rate level, while Dongfang Bubai had already entered the early stage of the Grandmaster realm. Even with the "Innate Formless Finger Sword," Dongfang Bubai was only a beginner, having just entered the "entry-level" stage.
The power that this "Innate Formless Finger Sword" can unleash is still incomparable to what it was before.
Despite the ten sword energy phantoms rushing towards her in the air along a special trajectory, Yaoyue remained completely unfazed.
With a slight flip of his hand, and as a special force gathered around him, the ten sword-shaped phantoms swept through the air and rushed towards Dongfang Bubai, who was retreating at the moment.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai's expression changed slightly.
With a raised hand, ten more streams of condensed, needle-like true energy burst forth and swept towards the sword-shaped phantom in the air that Yaoyue had brought over.
However, just as Dongfang Bubai's true energy surged, a force suddenly appeared behind him, causing Dongfang Bubai to unconsciously take a step forward.
Meanwhile, Yaoyue's palm struck down directly at Dongfang Bubai.
But just like Dongfang Bubai's previous actions, the moment Yaoyue's hand landed on Dongfang Bubai's chest, almost 99% of all her strength and true energy were lost.
The remaining palm force and true energy were only enough to send Dongfang Bubai back half a zhang, causing his blood and qi to fluctuate slightly.
Having landed a successful blow, Yaoyue looked at Dongfang Bubai opposite her, and at this moment, she felt as ethereal as a fairy.
The voice immediately spoke: "Dongfang Bubai, I have said before, sooner or later I will make you pay for this."
As she spoke, Yaoyue felt a sense of triumph and relief, as if she could finally avenge her previous humiliation.
Looking at Yaoyue, whose face was filled with smiles, Dongfang Bubai's expression turned extremely gloomy.
When his gaze fell upon Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai's eyes were filled with coldness.
However, facing Dongfang Bubai's gloomy expression and cold eyes, Yaoyue inexplicably felt a sense of enjoyment.
With one hand behind her back, Yaoyue said arrogantly, "Remember, with me here, you can forget about taking the position of the Empress."
Last time in Yushui City, the one who had the upper hand was Dongfang Bubai.
This time, however, it was Yaoyue who was invited.
It vividly illustrates what it means for fortune to change.
Seeing Yaoyue deliberately slow her pace, Dongfang Bubai gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.
After taking a deep breath, Dongfang Bubai unleashed a burst of energy that kicked up a cloud of dust before disappearing in a flash.
Turning her head to watch Dongfang Bubai leave, Yaoyue's smile deepened.
Then, after glancing at Lianxing, Yaoyue said, "Let's go back!" and then flashed towards Yihua Palace.
However, after Yaoyue set off, Lianxing did not immediately follow suit.
At this moment, Lianxing was recalling the words "official wife" that Yaoyue had mentioned before Dongfang Bubai left.
Combined with the changes Lianxing had recently sensed in Yaoyue, a bold conjecture began to form in her mind.
"Could it be that my sister and that Dongfang Bubai are fighting over a man?"
This idea was rejected by Lianxing as soon as it came up.
Others may not know, but Lianxing certainly does.
I have always held men in utter contempt.
Lianxing even felt that her older sister had an innate aversion to men.
How could I possibly fall in love with a man?
"Or is it that the man is someone Dongfang Bubai likes, so sister is planning to snatch him away and toy with him?"
To be honest, compared to the former, Lianxing felt that, given Yaoyue's personality, the latter was more likely.
But if that's the case, then the changes in Yaoyue during this period are impossible to explain.
For a moment, Lianxing's mind was in turmoil, and she was extremely curious about what Yaoyue had experienced during the time she was away from Yihua Palace.
What intrigued Lianxing the most was the target that could cause Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai to fight so fiercely over.
There will be another chapter tonight! I caught a cold while rushing to catch the train, and my brain is foggy, so I'll only be updating with two chapters totaling 10,000 words today. Sorry for the inconvenience!
