Whoosh!
Hong Li leaped onto the arena, her red dress fluttering in the wind, exuding the heroic and commanding aura of a female warrior.
Bai Qianjiao, however, merely walked onto the stage calmly, without even using light-footed techniques.
True to her nature, she was so composed she almost seemed invisible.
“Senior Sister, I’m sorry, but today I must defeat you! Bishui Sacred Canon: Dragon Gate Leap!”
Seeing Bai Qianjiao ascend, Hong Li couldn’t hold back.
Since Ling Xiao and Qin Bixue had both defeated Young Masters, she felt that if she couldn’t beat a Young Master-level opponent, she’d never match them.
So she was impatient.
She attacked the moment she stepped onto the stage.
On the arena, a massive dragon gate appeared out of thin air.
Hong Li threw a punch, initially the size of a normal fist, but after passing through the dragon gate, it transformed into a divine dragon, dozens of times larger, its power multiplied several times over.
Boom!
The giant dragon fist was still three or four metres from Bai Qianjiao when it suddenly shattered into a spray of water droplets.
“Weak Water Three Thousand, I Take But One Ladle!”
Bai Qianjiao’s expression remained unruffled. She swayed slightly forward, her hands forming a strange gesture, and peculiar water currents rippled around her.
The currents formed a massive water ladle, lunging toward Hong Li at the dragon gate.
Boom!
The giant ladle exploded completely. Hong Li leaped up, throwing another punch, this one stronger than before, transforming into two divine dragons that shattered the ladle.
Her attack continued.
Her body began to change subtly.
Her human form started sprouting odd scales—not dragon scales, but fish scales.
Gleaming with red light, the scales boosted Hong Li’s combat power dramatically.
A blade appeared in her hand.
A long, wide greatsword, an immortal-grade treasure.
Women rarely wielded such domineering weapons, but Hong Li did, and with great skill.
“Bishui Sacred Canon: Draw Blade to Sever Water!”
The massive sword energy sliced through the air. After passing through the dragon gate, the blade aura grew even more terrifying, enveloping the entire arena.
Bai Qianjiao had no way to dodge.
Yet she seemed to have no intention of dodging.
Her expression remained as calm as ever.
Her delicate hand drew a sword, thrusting it toward the massive sword energy.
The water currents around her merged into the sword energy, breaking the blade aura in one swift move.
Though the sword energy was formidable, it had flaws.
Bai Qianjiao’s strength was indeed less than Hong Li’s, but her judgement was precise.
Like striking a snake at its vital point, she always hit the mark perfectly.
“Senior Brother, why does it feel like I’m seeing a female version of you?”
Leng Hao stuck out his tongue and said.
“She’s not as good as Ling Xiao.”
Lan Yuer, nearby, shook her head. “But this woman is impressive. Though not on Ling Xiao’s level, her ability to target weaknesses surpasses most.”
The moment her weak-point attack landed, the surrounding space seemed to quiver, and Hong Li’s airborne figure faltered.
“That’s the Bishui Domain, the Bishui Divine Palace’s second most powerful technique. I can’t believe this girl mastered it. No wonder she’s so formidable.”
Ling Xiao recalled reading about it in Yuehua Sect’s records.
The Bishui Domain was harder to cultivate than most techniques, requiring the “Selfless State” to succeed.
Once mastered, it granted terrifying power.
Facing the Bishui Domain, Hong Li didn’t dare be careless.
But she seemed unafraid.
“Bishui Sacred Canon: Deep Sea Rift!”
Like other sacred canons, it was a complete system.
Each canon had its strengths.
Some excelled in attack.
Others in sustained combat.
The Bishui Canon’s greatest strength was its massive enhancement of water-based martial techniques.
Deep Sea Rift was one of Bishui Divine Palace’s most powerful sword techniques, the strongest attack Hong Li could muster.
Boom! Crack!
Her slash seemed to split the ground, unleashing torrents of seawater that easily broke the Bishui Domain’s pull.
Moreover, the massive sword energy seeped from the ground, gathering repeatedly. The seawater coalesced, forming a wave over ten metres high.
But this wave was more like a blade!
A terrifying blade!
No one could underestimate this move.
Not even Bai Qianjiao.
Yet her face showed no trace of tension or panic.
She seemed to have only one expression by nature.
Her fair hands stretched out slowly.
The surrounding waves surged again, the Bishui Domain growing fiercer and more ferocious.
Crack, crack, crack…
The giant water blade began to twist and deform under the Bishui Domain’s pull, on the verge of collapse.
At that moment, Hong Li frowned, condensing her true essence again, preparing another strike to defeat her senior sister and prove herself!
“Shatter, Hong Li. You’re too impatient!”
Bai Qianjiao’s voice was calm. At that moment, her Tianyuan energy surged wildly, pouring into the Bishui Domain. The giant water blade finally shattered, dissolving into a sky of droplets.
“Don’t tell me what to do!”
Hong Li let out a sharp cry, swinging her greatsword again. A stronger move followed, the Deep Sea Calamity, even more terrifying than Deep Sea Rift!
She had never used this move before. Facing her senior sister and unable to win, she was clearly desperate.
“Is that so?”
Bai Qianjiao’s brows furrowed slightly, her calm aura suddenly turning ferocious.
“Bishui Great Vortex: Destroy Everything!”
As Hong Li’s senior sister, Bai Qianjiao knew her junior well.
Hong Li’s talent was indeed exceptional, surpassing her own, and her cultivation and abilities were stronger.
Her only flaw was her impatience and refusal to heed advice.
Perhaps it was a common trait among geniuses, too proud to listen to others.
So Bai Qianjiao decided to teach Hong Li a lesson.
Her strength might be lesser, but the gap wasn’t vast, and her experience far exceeded Hong Li’s.
The Bishui Great Vortex surged forth, striking the Deep Sea Calamity’s greatest flaw. Though less powerful, it gained the upper hand instantly, suppressing the terrifying sword energy.
Boom!
The fearsome sword energy was swallowed by the massive vortex, vanishing without a trace.
Hong Li’s body was flung back by the recoil, landing off the arena.
