Chapter 46: Sudden Change

  "If you don't come up, I'll be very disappointed." On the stage, Wei Yurou suddenly smiled and said, but this tone seemed a bit too intimate.

  Fang Li was slightly startled, and his mind was immediately drawn in, as if attracted by her smile. Not daring to be careless again, he immediately became vigilant, furrowed his brow and said: "Let's begin."

  "Hasn't it already begun?" Wei Yurou smiled again, the long sword in her hand had already been unsheathed, and the aura around her body continued to rise, her pink long dress fluttering without any wind.

  Hua! Wei Yurou's long sword stabbed out, without any fancy moves, straightforward and direct. However, every move seemed to contain a certain magical power, constantly impacting Fang Li's mind.

  Fang Li's heart sank in shock, and he saw that the sword was about to pierce him. However, he couldn't fully focus his attention, which would be a fatal crisis in a duel. In desperation, Fang Li bit his tongue hard, and his mind finally cleared up.

  Without hesitation, Fang Li turned his body to the right, his right arm rotating inward, and the Xuan Tie sword quickly rose to a slanted position. A clear "ding" sound was heard as he narrowly parried Wei Yu Rong's sword.

  "In the four tribes, you are the first person who can block my sword. Wei Yurou's eyes lit up with excitement, and her body spun around, her long sword stabbing out in a flurry of strikes."

  "The art of enchantment is ultimately a minor path." Fang Li didn't want to lose momentum, so he immediately retorted, while gathering his thoughts and preparing to counterattack at any moment.

  Although Wei Yurou's entanglement was somewhat unexpected by Fang Li, he still had great confidence in his own strength.

  "Come, let me try another sword move." Wei Yurou said with a gentle smile, her sword movement changed, like a butterfly dancing lightly, or a snow swallow flying swiftly. Beautiful as it was, the sword move hid a strong killing intent within.

  "Wei Yurou's long sword has turned pink!" someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed.

  Fang Li's eyes narrowed, and he also discovered the change in Wei Yu Ruo's hand on the long sword. It wasn't until this moment that he knew how the title "Pink Sword" came to be. However, Fang Li didn't know that this was not just a simple color change, but rather the effect of fully integrating the charm technique into the sword move, and with time, it might even form a special sword intent.

  "Wei Yu Ruo indeed lives up to his reputation as the number one genius of Yan City, this single move of the Red Dust Sword is enough to make many Foundation Stage experts feel ashamed." Wang Xiu commented lightly, but in his heart he added: What a pity that he's going to die soon.

  "King Xiuxiong is overpraising, Yu Ruo still has a long way to go." The head of the Wei family laughed loudly and said with feigned modesty.

  At the same time as Wei Yurou stabbed out this sword, the charm technique had already been urged to its limit. Fang Li tightly grasped his long sword, only feeling dizziness in his mind, all sorts of illusions appeared, invading his heart and spirit.

  Not good! Fang Li's heart sank in shock. If he didn't quickly extricate himself from these illusions, he feared that Wei Yu Rong would defeat him with a single sword strike!

  "Damn it!" Fang Li bellowed, biting his tongue hard, a bloody breath gushing into his throat, the intense pain finally allowing him to temporarily break free from the illusion.

  "Defeat!" Fang Li's eyes turned crimson, and he saw that Wei Yu Ruo's long sword had already reached his face. The aura around him suddenly surged, and with a reverse stroke of his sword, he fiercely counterattacked.

  "Broken through!" Wei Yurou was shocked. Seeing Fang Li counterattack again, with an even more fearless momentum, her heart trembled, both startled and fearful, "Sword intent!"

  Before she could react, the two swords had already clashed. Contrary to everyone's expectations, it was not Fang Li who was knocked flying, but Wei Yurou, who had reached the seventh level of Qi refinement. Many people's jaws dropped in shock.

  Wei Yu softly groaned and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

  "Fang Lisheng wins!" This time, without waiting for the referee to announce, Fang Li directly clenched his fist and raised it high, declaring his own victory.

  The whole scene was eerily quiet, with only Fang Li's voice swirling around.

  "It was actually him who won, how is this possible! Why was it that the final sword that decided the outcome was the one that sent Wei Yurou flying? Many people still couldn't accept this result, and besides, Fang Li's win was indeed too strange, he had actually struck down with a single sword someone whose cultivation was higher than his by an entire stage, this completely went against their understanding."

  "Is it possible that he has truly grasped the intent of the sword?" Wang Lingqing also noticed the duel over here, and seeing Fang Li win, the idea she had previously denied once again emerged. Only this could explain why Fang Li was able to defeat Wei Yurou.

  Fang Li walked slowly down from the stage, with a hint of fresh blood still at the corner of his mouth. Seeing Fang Han already waiting for him below, he couldn't help but smile proudly and said: "Tell Taishang Elder that I, Fang Li, have fulfilled my promise to take first place."

  "Great! Elder Tai Shang will definitely be proud of you!" Fang Han was excited and almost incoherent.

  "If there's nothing else, I'll go take a rest." Fang Li waved his hand, at this moment he was indeed feeling a bit tired.

  Fang Han listened and immediately gave way to him on the road.

  Not far away, after Wang Xiu's words, the old man with a long eyebrow frowned and said in a low voice: "It seems that your decision is correct. This time, the surprise attack not only wants to get rid of the Wei family but also to solve the Fang family. If this little guy grows up, his achievements will definitely not be lower than that little girl from the Wei family."

  Wang Xiu turned back and exchanged a glance with the old man with long eyebrows, smiling softly: "It's getting late, I wonder if the Supreme Elder has made preparations?"

  "Naturally, I'll take care of it personally. Not a single elder from the Wei or Fang families will be able to escape." The old man with the long eyebrows spoke in a somewhat chilly tone.

  ……

  After Fang Li defeated Wei Yu Ruo, only the last match was left. This time, the opponent was also a familiar face, Wang Ling Qing. Wang Ling Qing knew he wasn't Fang Li's match and directly admitted defeat.

  The final round of the game ended, Fang Li won the first place with a record of nine consecutive victories. Wei Yurou was second, Wang Lingtian and Fang Feng respectively won third and fourth places.

  If we say which family is the most prominent in this competition, it's undoubtedly the Fang family. Not only did they take first place, but they also took fourth place as well. At this moment, every single member of the Fang family had a proud smile on their face.

  However, winning or losing is a common occurrence in the military, and other families did not pay too much attention to it. The only ones who felt they had lost face were the Wang family, who had always been known as the leader of the four major families but had only achieved third place. This was a fact that all the young masters of the Wang family found difficult to accept.

  "The sky is already late, it's time to go back." Fang Han looked at the sky and saw that it was approaching dusk. Moreover, the four clans' gathering had already ended, so he didn't hesitate any longer. He called out to his tribesmen and prepared to leave together.

  "Fang Han, are you leaving? I'll send a few elders to see you off, it's the least we can do as hosts." Wang Xiu suddenly walked over and patted Fang Han on the shoulder, looking very familiar.

  "There's no need for so much courtesy." Fang Han didn't suspect anything else, he was just politely declining, not wanting to trouble the Wang family.

  "It would be unbecoming if I were to let you leave alone, wouldn't it? Wouldn't people say that the Wang family doesn't know how to treat their guests?" King Xiu said with a smile, appearing courteous.

  Fang Han saw no way out and could only nod in agreement with Wang Xiu's arrangement.

  Wang Xiu saw this, and immediately gave a wink to the two elders behind him. The two elders understood, walked out, and then enthusiastically chatted with Fang Han.

  Fang Han didn't think much of it, chatting as he led his family members out of the Wang residence. There were quite a few people from the Fang family who came to watch the four tribes' **** this time, plus the elders, and they numbered in the dozens.

  Fang Li quietly blended in, still holding the reins of his chestnut horse. He had originally planned to leave alone, but was pulled back by several elderly family members who asked him questions. Fang Li knew they didn't have any ill intentions, so he didn't refuse and stayed behind with them instead.

  About halfway through the journey, the sky had completely darkened.

  "Let's just send them here, if we send them any further it will be to the entrance of our clan's territory." Fang Han stopped in his tracks and cupped his fists at the two Wang family elders as a sign of gratitude.

  "Unconsciously, we have arrived here. This place is so empty and quiet, it's a good place to clear one's mind." One of the elders suddenly spoke up, seemingly captivated by the surrounding scenery.

  Fang Han was stunned at first, then looked around and smiled: "It's indeed a quiet place, I didn't know there was such a place in Yanjing City, I hadn't noticed it before."

  "Oh? It seems that Fang Hanzu also likes this place very much. Otherwise, he would have fallen asleep here."
