Upon hearing Gu Yan's rebuke, Mo Bai immediately stopped in his tracks.
Behind him, Gu Yan spoke coldly, "Mo Bai, you need to understand that we are at a disadvantage right now. Let's put aside matters of personal feelings for now."
Mo Bai turned his head and looked at Gu Yan with a puzzled expression. "What romantic feelings? When did I ever say I liked anyone else?"
"Stop trying to deny it. You know perfectly well what you did in the room," Gu Yan said with a cold snort.
"Me? What did I do? I didn't even..." Mo Bai started to say, then suddenly realized, "You don't mean Xiao Li, do you...?"
"Hmph, Xiao Li, what an affectionate nickname!" Gu Yan sneered. "Rumors about you and this woman are everywhere now, do you still want to deny it!"
Mo Bai's eyes widened. "What rumors? What woman? Xiao Li is a man! Besides, you and Gu Li know his identity!"
Gu Yan frowned. "What do you mean 'we know'? How come we don't know this person exists!"
"Xiao Li is the one who sneaked in last time to replace my other White Emperor!" Mo Bai said anxiously.
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment. "He, how could he..."
"He was injured, so I left him with me to recover. I plan to bring him to see you all once he's healed," Mo Bai said in one breath.
Gu Yan stood up and said urgently, "If that's the case, then it's terrible! Gu Li, he..."
On the other side, as soon as Mo Bai left, Gu Li barged into Mo Bai's room.
Gu Liyan, wearing a mask with his back to the door, thought Mo Bai had returned when he heard someone come in, and immediately smiled and asked, "Why are you back so soon?"
Gu Li came up behind Gu Liyan, raised his hand and said coldly, "I've come to send you on your way!"
Gu Liyan was startled. Hearing Gu Li's voice, he subconsciously lowered his head. Gu Li's palm swept past his head with a sharp gust of wind.
Gu Liyan was startled and quickly stepped back, speaking with a serious expression, "You..."
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, Gu Li struck again with a second palm strike. Gu Liyan immediately dodged and narrowly avoided it.
Because of his attempt to evade Gu Li's attack, Gu Liyan's clothes were once again left open. Gu Li glanced at him and saw that Gu Liyan's skin was smooth and fair. He immediately sneered, "As expected, you are a vile woman who brings ruin to the country. It seems that if we don't get rid of you, it will definitely affect the White Emperor's mind and the fate of the demon race!"
Gu Liyan was stunned, and immediately understood that Gu Li wanted to get rid of him, but that was not the case!
"No, you've misunderstood..."
Gu Liyan wanted to explain, but Gu Li still didn't give him a chance to speak, flipping his hand to draw his sword and stabbing it directly at Gu Liyan.
Seeing Gu Li's sharp moves, Gu Liyan immediately took out the sword that Mo Bai had given him and held it in front of him.
Gu Li's sword strikes came down relentlessly, but to Gu Li's surprise, Gu Liyan blocked them all.
Gu Li frowned, attacking while observing the position of Gu Liyan's defenses. To his surprise, Gu Liyan seemed to know where his next sword strike would land, perfectly blocking each of his attacks.
Gu Li immediately withdrew his hand and took a few steps back, looking at Gu Liyan with a serious expression. "How do you know my moves!"
Gu Li withdrew his attack and squinted at Gu Liyan. "Did you secretly watch Mo Bai's sword moves?"
"I..." Gu Liyan hesitated, his face contorted in pain. If he said that he had learned it from Gu Li, Gu Li would surely kill him!
Seeing Gu Liyan hesitate, Gu Li immediately switched his grip on the sword to two hands. Gu Liyan's gaze sharpened upon seeing this. "It's the ultimate sword dance technique—Slaying the Heavens!"
"Hmph, it seems you know quite a bit! However, I don't believe you can withstand this sword strike!" Gu Li sneered.
Gu Liyan's expression was solemn as he said, "You can't do that! If you do, the cave will collapse! Then this place will no longer be a secret!"
"Hmph, do you think I didn't consider that? My chopping you down won't affect our habitat!" Gu Li said, gathering a large amount of energy around him, radiating a crimson flame.
Seeing that Gu Li's energy was getting stronger and stronger, Gu Liyan hurriedly said, "This won't do! You've gathered too much energy; you simply can't control it—"
Gu Li frowned and said impatiently, "Whether I can do it or not is not up to you!"
Seeing that Gu Li showed no sign of stopping, Gu Liyan hurriedly said, "No! I'll admit defeat, okay?"
Gu Li sneered, "Admit defeat? Too late! Die!"
Gu Liyan's eyes widened as she saw fierce flames gathering on Gu Li's sword. She hadn't expected Gu Li to be so competitive!
“There’s no other way. Since that’s the case—” Gu Liyan frowned, took out his sword, gripped it tightly in front of his chest, and shouted, “Secret Technique, Heaven Slayer!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan gathered the power of Xuanbing (mysterious ice) around him, radiating a chilling aura.
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's description of the extraordinary skill, Gu Li looked at him in astonishment, "How could you possibly know that!"
Before Gu Liyan could speak, Gu Li coldly snorted, "No matter how you stole it, you will die today!" Gu Li was fearless, as he realized that the energy Gu Liyan had gathered was not as strong as his own.
As soon as Gu Li finished speaking, the sword blade slashed down towards Gu Liyan. Gu Liyan knew that he had no way to avoid it, so he gritted his teeth and unleashed the energy he had gathered.
The moment the two sword lights collided, the surrounding tables, chairs, and benches were all blown away, and the entire space shook as if an earthquake had struck!
Seeing this, Gu Li realized that the energy collision between himself and Gu Liyan was too powerful, and he was about to stop it when Gu Liyan rushed forward first and quickly formed hand seals.
Upon seeing this, Gu Li hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Liyan said with a solemn expression, "Use an array to neutralize the two energies!"
