Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 863: I will win

Chapter 863: I will win

This time, a Formation barrier properly activated around the platform, keeping the audience safe from any stray attacks.

This inadvertently caused almost everyone to imagine what a sight they would have seen if the one operating the Formation wasn’t taking his time with putting it up and it activated on time in the previous match.

Yun Ping was now awake, as various precious medicines were poured onto his largely swollen face, and pills were shoved into him while he was unconscious. But even though he was awake, he was largely out of it, barely recognizing what was happening, as if in a half-asleep state.

Meanwhile, Li Yunxi’s smile widened as her gaze grew sharper, and with a light movement of her hand, the whip unfolded from the coiled position into a wavy one, though not falling to the ground, still floating in the air around her.

She was also careful to keep at least one semi-looped part of it in between her and Wu Long, cautious against his sudden accelerations.

Wu Long thoroughly enjoyed that look, which calculated what he would do while simultaneously trying to figure out an angle of attack.

They started slowly moving in a circular motion.

The whip suddenly moved, sending an arc of Spiritual Qi blade which couldn’t really be called a Whip Qi, more of a Cutting Qi.

He evaded the cutting arc with minimal movement, his gaze not shifting from her.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she made another attack which also was evaded, and then added two more in quick succession but switching the angles, making an almost perfect cross-cut.

But that small gap between the first arc and the second, as there was still a short time difference between when they were made, was all Wu Long needed to move from side to side in between them.

“Hah, it seems Daoist Wu intends to be a gentleman”, she chuckled, seeing that he wasn’t trying to get her now when her power at its lowest.

After all, a whip was a weapon which slowly wound up, but was incredibly fast when it did gain speed and rhythm, so the best timing to attack a whip user was in the first few seconds of a fight.

Her light green eyes slightly narrowed in amusement, “How kind of you, I will gladly accept that gesture…”

And then added as she sent three more attacks forward with a raised eyebrow, “…however, don’t blame me for being ruthless. With how handsome you are, if you add such gentlemanly behavior, it’s going to be hard on me, so I must try and be heartless in order to not lose my heart to you”

“Haha”, Wu Long chuckled, while evading, “Says someone who wanted me to approach in the first seconds… or rather, was counting on it”

A surprise flashed in her eyes as she began unleashing attack after attack, her whip winding and coiling around her, creating a defensive area while she sent forth more and more attacks, “Oh my! I got caught!”

Her voice sounded genuinely amused as she lightly laughed.

After all, while her weapon certainly was a whip, and behaved like one, it was made entirely out of Spiritual Qi, and would move with her thought. It wasn’t wise to approach her at the beginning of the fight like with a normal whip user.

And at the same time, it was a concentrated Spiritual Qi that made it no different from a physical weapon, partially constructed by the whip handle in her hand.

An Iron Fan appeared in Wu Long’s hand which went forth from behind his back, the other one staying there, and the next attack’s direction slightly shifted as Wu Long’s Iron Fan Qi spread in a large fan-like shape to gently move it aside.

Li Yunxi’s eyes widened at that as she hurried to change the pattern of attacks, the barrage of Cutting Qi Arcs now coming at all angles instead of only vertical ones.

That, however, did not work against Wu Long whose Iron Fan Qi pushed all attacks aside, creating a corridor for him to calmly walk through.

His hand holding the Iron Fan made only minor flowing movements of the wrist and hand, without involving the rest of the arm, as he sometimes half-closed or third-closed the fan, and opened it again.

It was completely different from either Sui Luxiao’s soft force and even the straightforward Yang style of Iron Fan martial arts from the time when he trained the 9th prince in the way of the sword, it was the art of the Iron Fan Qi control.

Soon, Li Yunxi had to take the first step back as Wu Long stepped a bit too close for her comfort. Then another.

Her expression was now of complete focus, as she tried to figure out if she could beat that Iron Fan Qi in close quarters directly with her whip.

However, she could instinctively feel that his control over Iron Fan Qi was too great, and her whip, however freely she controlled it, would be simply pushed aside.

Wu Long, on the other hand saw hesitation in her eyes, she was trying to hold back some kind of move that she deemed too deadly. After all, she saw Wu Long as a sparring opponent that she wanted to win against, not someone she wanted to harm.

He could feel it even in those Cutting Qi arcs she sent earlier, as there was a bluntness to them. She could turn those ‘blades’ of Qi into blunt blows at any moment.

‘Hmm, let’s see if she’ll use it if I do this?’, Wu Long decided to slightly push her, his Iron Fan moving forward in a closed state, and then pointed down, opening a bit of it up.

‘Seven Sealing Gates Art’

Seven flat planes of Iron Fan Qi appeared in the air and pushed down one by one, the first catching near the end of the whip, pinning it down to the ground, and the next grounding more and more of the Spiritual Qi whip while he instantly accelerated, closing in on her.

As she felt imminent danger, something within her eyes glowed, giving off a profound aura, but then, she froze. And the glow slowly subsided, as she made a long exhale, slightly lowering her head and closing her eyes.

“It is my defeat”, Li Yunxi spoke in a soft voice, surprising Wu Long who only wanted to see if she would use that more powerful technique.

But it seems that even in a fight-or-flight moment of instant judgment she was able to keep her head cool and prevent using the technique she held back.

“You are very strong, Daoist Wu”, she then turned a slightly frustrated at her defeat, but still full of eagerness gaze to him, “But if there is a next time, I will get stronger, and I will win”

Wu Long smiled, seeing a smile reappearing on her face as she looked at him with respect for someone who defeated her.

He cupped his fist with the iron fan, and Li Yunxi did the same with her fist holding the whip handle as the Spiritual Qi making up the whip body and the seven sealing flat planes Wu Long unleashed all started dissipating at the same time, turning into glowing particles of Qi rising into the air all around them.
