With a soft shout, Shui Qingrou slowly grasped the golden sword in his palm. The next moment, his figure rushed out and turned into a stream of light. The same extreme speed as before was displayed again, making it impossible to sense his presence.
When Shui Qingrou was unleashing her martial arts at such a gentle speed, An Ran suddenly did something that surprised everyone. She slowly closed her eyes in the center of the arena, tightly grasping the royal blue Weiyang sword in her jade hands, and stood quietly without any movement.
For a moment, the people around the arena rioted again. Under such circumstances, such behavior was tantamount to seeking death. Could it be that An Ran was planning to give up?
A hint of surprise appeared in An Yu's eyes, and she couldn't help but wonder: "What is An Ran doing? Can she determine Shui Qingrou's location in this way?" She didn't think that An Ran would give up like this. She must have a reason for doing this.
Just as everyone was speculating, a crisp sound of metal, accompanied by sparks and violent gusts of wind, suddenly swept across from mid-air.
Shui Qingrou was horrified. How could An Ran possibly have taken her attack? Even if she opened her eyes, she wouldn't have been able to determine her location. It must have been just her luck.
Thinking of this, Shui Qingrou suddenly appeared behind An Ran and stabbed a sword towards her vitals. However, An Ran seemed to have eyes on her back. She suddenly turned around and blocked the sword!
"clang!"
The crisp sound rang out again, and the curve of An Ran's mouth spread unconsciously. As she expected, using the understanding of the movement of magical elemental energy, she could determine Shui Qingrou's location. In this way, Shui Qingrou's previous advantage could be said to no longer exist!
Ding ding ding!
The sound of swords clashing suddenly came from the arena. Shui Qingrou was so fast that no one could determine her direction. In the eyes of most people, An Ran was the only one on the entire arena.
With her eyes closed, she was calm and composed, and the hand holding the sword seemed extremely flexible. She could move up or down, stab or block as if it were at her fingertips. No matter how fast Shui Qingrou was or how tricky her moves were, she could always intercept her at the first moment.
If Shui Qingrou still thought that this was luck, then she was a fool. An Ran clearly had the ability to see her figure clearly, but the reason made it impossible to tell.
This defied common sense. How could he sense her direction with his eyes closed? Just as Shui Qingrou was distracted by surprise, An Ran raised her hand, and the sharp sword cut through her sleeve and slashed through her pure white wrist, leaving a three-inch scar.
The blue clothes were instantly stained with blood. She was actually at a disadvantage in this second fight. When the two stared at each other again, the atmosphere became more tense, and a cruel emotion burst out from Shui Qingrou's eyes.
Shui Qingrou snorted coldly, stomped her foot on the ground suddenly, and rushed forward with the sword to stab Anran's throat. The ruthlessness in her eyes was chilling.
An Ran's eyes focused, and he raised the Weiyang Sword to block it horizontally. A palm containing surging magical elemental energy and unparalleled energy struck Shui Qingrou's chest.
Seeing this, Shui Qingrou flashed slightly, and then she directly met the attack with a palm!
"boom!"
The contact of their palms made a heavy sound, and the two people quickly separated. Shui Qingrou took a step back, while An Ran took two steps back.
Despite being at a disadvantage, An Ran's expression remained unchanged. This was all within her expectations. Her strength had improved rapidly, now reaching the early stages of the ninth level of the Emperor, while Shui Qingrou was at the peak of the ninth level, far superior to her.
With her ability to fight across levels, she can deal with masters in the middle stage of the ninth level of the Emperor, but it is obviously quite difficult to deal with the peak of the ninth level of the Emperor. If she can use poison, she can force Shui Qingrou to retreat, but poison is not allowed on the fighting stage.
The next moment, An Ran raised her sleeves, and an exquisite guqin appeared in her hands.
"Bang!"
The slender jade fingers stroked the strings of the zither, and then suddenly plucked out the notes. The melodious sound of the zither suddenly resounded, and two extremely violent sound waves swept out in an instant, and at an extremely alarming speed, they fiercely hit Shui Qingrou who was rushing towards her.
"Bang!"
The sound waves exploded on Shui Qingrou's body, and the violent force directly knocked her back in a somewhat embarrassed manner. When she fell again, a solemn look appeared in her eyes.
This sound wave was colorless and invisible. By the time she realized it, it was too late to respond. How could Dongfang Li have practiced this and that before? It was really hard to guard against.
The powerful force of heaven covered the Nine Heavens Pipa, and An Ran's bare hands kept stroking the strings, while waves of sound kept attacking the water gently.
This is the Qin Ling Jiu Tian that Master Zi Yi taught her. Qin Ling Jiu Tian has only seven moves in total, and the one she is using now is the third one - Qin Bo Xiren!
Under An Ran's continuous attacks, Shui Qingrou also looked a little embarrassed. The damage caused to her by this attack was not great, but she simply couldn't spare the mind to deal with An Ran.
Thinking of this, Shui Qingrou quickly turned his hands over, and the surging natural power roared out from his body. The next moment, in front of everyone's surprised gaze, he directly erected a protective shield to protect his body.
Even if An Ran's sonic attack only caused a few ripples on the protective shield, it would be absolutely impossible to destroy it in a short time.
Looking at the useless sonic attack, a smile appeared on Shui Qingrou's gentle face, but her hands never stopped moving. One complex hand seal after another was quickly formed, powerful energy rose up, and a cold murderous intent quietly enveloped her.
Feeling the extremely powerful natural force, An Ran felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He was afraid that Shui Qingrou wanted to use this move to completely injure or even kill him.
The speed of the jade fingers playing the piano increased, and the originally melodious and gentle piano sound suddenly became compact. With the change of the piano sound, everyone felt that their mood was affected to a certain extent. The piano sound had the power to penetrate people's hearts, and listening to it actually made people feel shocked.
The natural force in the body continued to condense on the strings through the five fingers, while the aura around An Ran was rapidly increasing. The milky white chaotic natural force quietly surrounded him, and this natural force seemed to be even purer under the influence of the piano sound.
“Swish!”
A monstrous blue light slowly took shape behind Shui Qingrou. The protective shield in front of her had quietly dissipated at some point. A hint of confidence appeared on her charming face. She took a sudden step forward, and her slender white palms bent into claws. She then reached out through the void to grab An Ran in the distance!
