Li Fengyuan steadied her breathing and after a few seconds opened her eyes, looking at Feng Xuan; her gaze was sharp as a sword and looked like it could penetrate everything, as if she wanted to cut Feng Xuan in two.

"Do you really think you will be able to beat me? You have no combat power and are simply clinging to a stupid idea of a waste." Feng Xuan noticed Li Fengyuan's behavior and sneered, but inside he began to have a feeling of fear and crisis alert.

Li Fengyuan could be a threat in this state?

Feng Xuan did not believe it and shook his head inwardly. Li Fengyuan was but at the end of the arrow and was only still standing because of her useless resistance.

"The girl thinks that with a sword she can win? It's absurd!" Feng Rao snorted derisively. The elders beside him nodded in the same manner.

"Since when does Yuan'er listen to others?" The Li family patriarch muttered having noticed Li Fengyuan's change in behavior, especially upon hearing Ling Tian: "Feng Wuyu's son seems to have arrogance and pride." His gaze rested on Ling Tian, observing that calm and indifferent look, as if no matter if the sky fell, he still would not frown. Even the glares he was receiving didn't faze him. Was this confidence or arrogance?

Even so, Patriarch Li was still shocked to see Li Fengyuan's combat prowess, taking on Feng Xuan despite having a large cultivation gap. This was simply amazing and could only be called a genius.

Li Fengyuan was about to use her remaining energy when she remembered Ling Tian's words. Although she also had her doubts as to how she could break Feng Xuan's spell with a simple sword without energy, Li Fengyuan felt a hunch and focused on her sword.

"Ridiculous! Listening to a kid and not your man! Do you think I will forgive this?" Feng Xuan roared and mobilized the power in his body. Now he had recovered a little and could still perform the technique he had learned again.

Spiritual energy gathered once again throughout the stage, concentrating at an evidently slower speed than before but still carrying with it a terrifying pressure.

Li Fengyuan gritted her teeth as she directly felt Feng Xuan's fierce power focusing on her. But just when she thought she couldn't resist it any longer, without realizing it, a single breath coming from her own sword imperceptibly split the aura closing in on her. Quickly, Li Fengyuan noticed this and unconsciously focused more on her sword following her instincts; the pressure was considerably reduced and she could breathe a little better.

Li Fengyua couldn't help but be stunned, but quickly regained her focus, knowing that she was in the middle of a battle that would decide the future and course of her life she didn't dare to neglect herself for a single second.

"Young master Feng still has this strength? It's unbelievable!"

"It's to be expected from a Golden Core realm expert!"

"Young Miss won't come out unscathed this time! You'd better stand down!"

"Goddess Li! Please withdraw before you get really hurt!"historical

The whispers and shouts throughout the place spread rapidly. The strength Feng Xuan was showing really exceeded their expectations and they marveled more and more. Some felt sympathy and pity for Li Fengyuan, but shook their heads as they saw her resistance in not wanting to marry such an expert genius.

"Xuan'er! Show who the real genius is!" Feng Rao shouted proudly. Ling Tian's presence still kept him a little anxious without knowing why.

"Feng Xuan, I want nothing to do with you! Why don't you understand that?" Li Fengyuan glared hatefully at Feng Xuan and added, "Although I don't want to die, I will do it if necessary to defeat you!" Li Fengyuan seemed to have regained her confidence and showed an expression full of resolve.

"It seems that Feng Xuan's woman doesn't know the vastness of the sky!" Feng Xuan shouted in a low voice as he felt the sense of crisis in him increase.

Feng Xuan did not know why at this moment he felt this life and death alarm!

His eyes roamed all over the place, from the crowd to the major families, thinking that perhaps this intuition came from some hidden expert who would shoot at any moment to help Li Fengyuan. Feng Xuan didn't think Li Fengyuan could convey this feeling to him, after all, when she was at her peak moments ago she couldn't hurt him much, but now it seemed like she could claim his life!

Her power finally gathered and she decided not to turn back. Feng Xuan looked darkly at Li Fengyuan due to the fact that they reached this point.

"First Step!"

Feng Xuan's domineering and arrogant voice was heard once again, bringing a chilling and domineering feeling to anyone who would listen.

Feng Xuan's momentum increased by several folds before he moved his foot. Although he only had energy to make it up to the second step, Feng Xuan disdained and thought that one step was more than enough to destroy this woman's pride.

Li Fengyuan fused her mind with her sword and resisted the powerful aura that crushed her, realizing that each time she concentrated more on her sword, it seemed that the pressure decreased a little. The crisis alarm in her being also sounded, warning her that any misstep she would die.

"I don't think you can take it!" Feng Xuan roared as he finally moved his foot and the pressure burst out completely. But this pressure did not cause Li Fengyuan to fall, still trembling slightly as she resisted the pressure.

No one could help but be surprised. What kind of resistance was this? Li Fengyuan really refused to surrender at the cost of her own life? Even Long Zhu could not completely resist Feng Xuan's technique!

If there was another person in Li Fengyuan's place, it is feared that they would have surrendered from the first move.

Li Fengyuan unexpectedly could see an imperceptible spiritual energy surrounding her, coming from Feng Xuan. Some places were dense with power while in other spaces only wisps of energy flowed, the perfect place to attack.

"It's not the time yet."

The moment Li Fengyuan was about to move to attack Feng Xuan, Ling Tian's voice came to her mind, startling her and stopping her movements. Although she was proud and had no choice but to depend on Ling Tian, Li Fengyuan still obeyed.

Feng Xuan looked at Li Fengyuan's stubbornness and became angry.

"Second Step!"

The angry voice finally made the city lord and the patriarchs of the great families rise from their seats.

The pressure that had increased and spread came as a complete surprise. But what was more surprising was that Li Fengyuan did not fall!

Li Fengyuan felt her organs twisting in her body and she couldn't breathe very well, if it wasn't for the mysterious help she got from concentrating on her sword, Li Fengyuan knew that at any moment she would fall. The sword was like the beacon of light in the darkness, clinging to it completely.

However, Li Fengyuan did not stop paying attention to the enemy and her surroundings, waiting for the moment to strike. She saw Feng Xuan raise his foot to finish the second step.

"Now!"

Ling Tian's calm voice reached her mind and Li Fengyuan's eyes glowed resolutely, observing Feng Xuan and the barrier around. Her gaze quickly found the gaps and weak spots she had determined and she advanced with her sword.

"Don't you dare!"

Feng Xuan roared furiously as he sensed the death alarms when he saw Li Fengyuan finally move.

Li Fengyuan ignored him and put all her strength into her sword, tightly clenching the hilt of her sword as she slid it towards Feng Xuan. The blade of the sword swung smoothly, cutting and penetrating the spiritual energy created by Feng Xuan in its path as the tip of the blade landed on his chest. The suppressive force around her was released the further she advanced and cut through everything with her sword.

* Boom! *

The pressure exploded to double when Feng Xuan released his hands and expelled all his strength, feeling the breath of death!

"What?!"

The onlookers were also shocked to see Li Fengyuan easily advance towards Feng Xuan, slashing with her sword towards him without pausing for a moment.

"Xuan'er!" Feng Rao screamed out of concern for his son when he saw that the battle had been reversed.

Everyone could see that the sword was pointing straight at Feng Xuan's chest and would arrive in less than a second!

Patriarch Li looked stunned at this development without ever having thought that it could happen!

"Ahh!" Feng Xuan roared when he saw Li Fengyuan easily break through his protective barrier!

That sword could kill him if it fell on him!

When the tip of the sword was inches away from falling on Feng Xuan, a powerful aura covered the stage and a figure appeared at Feng Xuan's side, waving his hand towards Li Fengyuan, breaking her sword and sending her flying as she spat blood.
