Su Xiaomei was excited and eager to try.
However, she didn’t move directly.
With a slight turn of her big eyes, she said, “Please!” and then stood still in place.
Shuo Feng, for some reason, also chose not to act.
Instead, he stood still in place, delaying without making a move.
Zhang Haobo looked at the two of them suspiciously, not knowing what they were up to.
After a while, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Shuo Feng’s face. “Xiaomei, didn’t you say you wanted to fight me? Why aren’t you making a move?”
Su Xiaomei replied earnestly, “My brother often teaches me that when traveling outside, one should respect elders and love the young. You are much older than me, so I must let you make the first move and then counterattack!”
Shuo Feng seemed stunned by Su Xiaomei’s words for a moment, then solemnly said, “I understand your intentions. But I can barely be considered half an elder to you, so of course, I should yield to the younger generation.”
“It’s better for you to make the first move!”
“No no no, you should go first…”
“You first!”
…
Zhang Haobo watched the strange scene of the two of them yielding to each other, and his expression couldn’t help but become peculiar.
“This Shuo Feng…”
Thinking back to how the other party had constantly provoked Shen Yurou before and became disappointed when Shen Yurou didn’t make a move, Zhang Haobo couldn’t help but be enlightened.
“Well, it seems that you’ve figured it out, Xiaomei. The cultivation technique I practice is somewhat special.” After a while, seeing that the two of them were still deadlocked, Shuo Feng didn’t hide it anymore.
He confessed, “If I’m not being attacked by others, I can’t make the first move. So, please go ahead, Xiaomei!”
Su Xiaomei looked somewhat smug as if she had expected this.
But then, she became serious.
A faint red flame appeared on her body, which turned out to be her innate magic treasure, the Fury Spirit Fire.
The air distorted, and Su Xiaomei disappeared from where she stood.
Meanwhile, next to Shuo Feng, at the same time, six identical figures appeared.
They all looked like Su Xiaomei, but each had a different expression on their faces.
Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, thought, and worry.
Furthermore, the flames on their bodies were of different colors.
The six doppelgangers surrounded Shuo Feng, using various close combat techniques and striking with their fists, palms, fingers, legs, elbows, and shoulders.
Surrounded by colorful flames, they were about to strike Shuo Feng.
“Fancy!”
Shuo Feng’s voice rang out at this moment.
A white light flashed.
It cut through the air several times.
“Boom!”
In an instant, all six of Su Xiaomei’s doppelgangers were instantly hit.
They lingered in the air for a moment, then burst out with air and were sent flying at a terrifying speed.
“That’s all…”
Before Shuo Feng finished his sentence, the six flying doppelgangers suddenly disappeared.
They then reappeared next to Shuo Feng.
Furthermore, their speed remained the same.
The only thing that changed was that their direction was now towards Shuo Feng.
Another white light flashed.
The six doppelgangers were once again sent flying.
This time, they were even a step faster than before.
But it was useless.
Just a moment later, Su Xiaomei’s doppelgangers, surrounded by intense flames, returned to Shuo Feng at an even faster speed.
What greeted them was still a dazzling white light.
Once again, they were sent flying.
…
The battle continued in a cycle like this.
The speed at which Su Xiaomei’s doppelgangers attacked became faster and faster.
The frequency of Shuo Feng’s white light also increased.
At this moment, Zhang Haobo, who had been watching for a long time, finally saw through it.
That white light was a sword.
A wooden sword.
Every time the white light appeared, it was the wooden sword.
Using the sword, Shuo Feng lightly tapped the doppelgangers.
“This speed…” Zhang Haobo was deeply shocked.
Seeing Shuo Feng’s effortless appearance, it was obvious he hadn’t exerted his full strength.
Even so, the displayed strength was still terrifying.
Zhang Haobo imagined himself in Su Xiaomei’s position at this moment and thought that he would be defeated in just a few moves.
“However, it seems that Xiaomei hasn’t fully exerted her strength either…”
In the center of the battlefield, Shuo Feng seemed to have grown tired of this back-and-forth game.
“Not bad. But it ends here!”
With a serious expression, he switched to using the sword edge this time.
The white light flashed, instantly passing through the six doppelgangers in succession.
Countless silver threads burst open from within the doppelgangers.
In an instant, the doppelgangers were cut into countless pieces.
Scattered all over the ground.
However, neither Zhang Haobo nor Shuo Feng showed any change in expression.
“Hehe!”
“Oooh!”
“Ah!”
…
Various sounds emitted from the fragments.
As if they had their own consciousness, they kept wriggling on the ground, inching towards each other.
After a moment, they reformed into six doppelgangers.
After “resurrecting,” their respective expressions seemed to be a bit richer.
“Interesting.” Shuo Feng, who was besieged again, finally showed a more serious expression on his face.
Six identical wooden swords suddenly appeared beside him.
They respectively confronted the six doppelgangers of Su Xiaomei.
While blocking the doppelgangers, Shuo Feng swept around as if looking for something.
After a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
In the next moment, Shuo Feng appeared six feet to the left, by a seemingly empty space.
Another wooden sword appeared in his hand, and he lightly flicked it forward.
A hidden figure was suddenly knocked out by Shuo Feng.
However, the smile on Shuo Feng’s face disappeared the next moment.
Because the expression on the face of this hidden figure was full of worry.
It wasn’t the main body, but the worried doppelganger!
With a single sword, Shuo Feng shattered the doppelganger, then looked back at where the six doppelgangers had just been.
He saw Su Xiaomei, the real one, playfully wink at him.
Shuo Feng remained expressionless, and with six wooden swords, he instantly cut the six bodies in half.
“Where else do you think you can escape to?”
Shuo Feng looked at the seven sets of fragments scattered on the ground, his eyes narrowed.
“Escape? From the very beginning, I’ve been here.”
As if responding to his words, Su Xiaomei’s voice sounded behind Shuo Feng.
Her eyes turned crimson, and the fragments scattered across the battlefield suddenly disappeared, returning to her body.
Six different expressions quickly flashed across her face.
Finally, it settled on anger.
Then, her momentum surged, and her innate ability was activated.
The crimson color in her eyes spread, dyeing her hair red.
Eight times her original strength suddenly erupted.
Su Xiaomei fiercely punched Shuo Feng!
However…
A blue light flashed around Shuo Feng’s body.
He remained motionless.
His clothes merely fluttered.
Shuo Feng’s expression didn’t change at all.
However, in his eyes, a sword shadow appeared.
At this moment, Su Xiaomei sighed repeatedly, “I give up! It’s boring!”
Shuo Feng’s movement paused slightly.
Then he turned around and looked in the direction of Mount Xixi.
For an instant, it seemed like the heavens and earth brightened up a bit.
A sword light flew towards the distance.
“Boom!”
The sound of it hitting something rang out.
A rumbling sound and a muffled groan came faintly.
Watching the few peach blossom petals slowly falling in the distance, Shuo Feng snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and sheathed his sword.
…
In the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan, who had witnessed the entire battle, couldn’t help but praise.
“Good sword technique!”
