Lan Jue had seen her fair share of beauties, but only Hera and Zhou Qianlin could compare.
But their styles were different.
Yan Ningya's beauty was that of the Eastern Alliance. She was classically beautiful. She was different from the rough-edged beauty of the Northern Alliance and Western Alliance.
But when beauty reached the pinnacle, it was the same. At least, that was how most people saw it.
Her beauty was breathtaking.
Yan Ningya looked different now that she had taken off her veil. Her eyes were filled with determination.
Turning his back to Jun Yongye, he began to walk away.
The five-foot-long light sword in his hand was dragged along the ground, leaving a faint mark.
Jun Yongye seemed to sense something. A warm smile spread across his face, and he flicked the blade with his left hand. The blade vibrated with a clear draconic hum.
The sound echoed throughout the arena.
Everyone who heard it felt like the morning bell and evening drum.
Their minds were clear.
+ None + + Novel + 30k + + +
Seven steps!
Yan Ningya had taken seven steps when she slowly regained her composure. A small smile spread across her pretty face, but her eyes were filled with sorrow, as if she were weeping.
But the more it was so, the more seductive it was.
A bolt of white light shot through the arena like a bolt of lightning.
In that instant, the entire competition stage felt as if it had been sliced in half.
The Pharmacist muttered to herself. "The Alluring Blade, a smile that charms a hundred!"
Jun Yongye made his move the moment Yan Ningya turned around. He pointed his sword forward, his eyes following its tip.
The tip of the blade.
Suddenly there was a flash of light, not too bright to look at.
The crisp 'ding dang dang dang' sounds continued to reverberate.
The sound was like music to the ears.
It was as if the entire arena had been split in two.
Jun Yongye's sword was still pointed in Yan Ningya's direction.
Yan Ningya's beautiful face didn't change at all, but her rainbow-colored eyes suddenly lit up. A faint rainbow-colored halo spread out from her body.
The entire stage suddenly gave off a sticky feeling.
Jun Yongye's sword suddenly slowed, as though it was being held back by something.
Yan Ningya finally used her special ability, space-time manipulation.
Yan Ningya's eyes narrowed as she took a step forward.
She was already in the air, her delicate body twirling around as if she was dancing.
A melodious chant came from her mouth.
"There's a Beauty in the North!" He pulled back his sword and pointed it at himself with his left hand before quietly letting go.
A blinding beam of sword light descended from the heavens, heading straight for Jun Yongye.
Jun Yongye's Time Manipulation had slowed him to a crawl, but his body was shrouded in a white mist. He drew his sword back, just in time to block Yan Ningya's attack.
"Clang — —" Jun Yongye staggered two steps to the side.
"Unparalleled!" Yan Ningya thrust her sword forward, and the light from it filled the air.
Her body fell from the heavens like a swallow.
She used her sword as a blade to strike at Jun Yongye.
Jun Yongye staggered backward.
He tried his best to pull his sword horizontally in front of him.
"Clang — —" He staggered back three more steps.
"A Smile Can Topple a City!"
Yan Ningya smiled sweetly, and the sword in her hand blossomed like a flower. In that moment, she thrust her sword forward countless times.
Jun Yongye was completely enveloped in it.
Jun Yongye's face betrayed no hint of panic. He staggered, but managed to regain his footing. He thrust his sword forward, his movements slow, but his focus was on the slow, unstoppable attack. It was impossible for him to block his opponent's attack.
"Clang — —" This time, it was Yan Ningya who fell back.
She didn't know why, but she knew that if she thrust her sword forward, she would be the first to be struck.
She gently bit her red lips, and a trace of sadness appeared on her pretty face. But in the next moment, her tears turned into a smile, and she said softly, "Laugh again!" She flipped her long sword, and it turned into countless sword rays that rose from the bottom to the top.
Jun Yongye's face hardened.
He crouched down, but he couldn't pull his sword back. He could only use his hands to pull the hilt of his sword to block Yan Ningya's attack.
"Clang — —" Jun Yongye's sword was thrust upwards.
Yan Ningya's black eyes flared with rainbow light. She stared at him, and her body began to glow with a blinding golden light.
For a moment, she seemed to be covered in a golden robe, and a golden phoenix circled around her.
In the waiting area, the Pharmacist muttered to herself. "Topple a City, Ruin the Six Palaces!"
Yan Ningya closed her eyes and muttered to herself. "It's better to not know how to topple a city or a nation. A beauty is hard to come by." She leapt into the air, and with her sword she launched herself at the wide-open Jun Yongye.
"Your Majesty!" Mo Xiao couldn't help but cry out from the VIP platform.
Jun Yongye was on the verge of falling to Yan Ningya's sword. It was time for the Terminator to intervene.
But the Terminator didn't move an inch. He just sat there silently, unmoving.
"Clang!"
Yan Ningya's sword struck Jun Yongye squarely in the chest. But to her horror, she found that her sword couldn't penetrate his chest.
Jun Yongye laughed. "I am the sword!"
His body trembled slightly and in an instant, rays of sword Qi shot out from his body. In an instant, it was as if a giant sword had appeared out of nowhere and stood proudly on the tournament stage.
The blinding light of the sword tore through Yan Ningya's control of time.
The powerful Sword Will directly pushed Yan Ningya backwards, and the long sword in her hand shattered into pieces once again.
Jun Yongye held his sword horizontally across his chest. "If one day you understand the true meaning of time, and become one with the Topple Sword, come find me again."
As he spoke, he thrust his sword forward, then drew it back. It left a beautiful trail in the air.
The sword disappeared, and the robe he'd tucked around his waist fell to the ground. His white garments fluttered in the wind, making him seem even more otherworldly.
Yan Ningya clearly felt a sharp Sword Qi instantly arrive between her eyebrows. The Sword Qi seemed to have endless penetrative power, but it just stopped there. The feeling of trembling instantly spread throughout her body, causing her eyes to widen. However, there seemed to be something else in the Sword Qi, which gave her a hint of understanding.
"I lost!" Yan Ningya lowered her head and said in a low voice.
The smile on her pretty face disappeared in an instant.
