Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: You Only Have 1 Chance to Strike

Yun Qinglian frowned, noticing the oddity about the bald man; his body fat seemed to reduce the impact of attacks.

"Swish!"

Sword Intent chilling to the bone.

For the first time, Yun Qinglian wielded a weapon, a soft sword wrapped around her waist, which instantly straightened when activated, emitting cold Sword Qi.

This sword is no ordinary weapon; it is a medium-grade Spiritual Artifact.

"I don’t know if your body fat can reduce attack power, but can it withstand the sharpness of my Treasure Sword?" Yun Qinglian said coldly.

In the air, Qin Yi muttered, "This woman is quite clever; seems like she spotted the flaw."

Yun Qinglian’s analysis was correct; the bald man’s body fat could indeed reduce attack power, but it couldn’t block weapons. Moreover, when facing weapons, his defensive power was weaker than average.

The bald man’s face turned grim, rubbing his bald head, his expression fierce, "Little wench, seems like you’ve resolved to oppose my Iron Armor Sect. Since you’re courting death, I’ll oblige."

As he spoke, the bald man picked up a Mountain Opening Axe the size of a door from behind the table.

This Mountain Opening Axe’s material is decent, but far inferior to a Spiritual Artifact, yet it excels in weight. You must know, the Mountain Opening Axe can serve as both a sharp and blunt implement. People only know of Treasure Sword’s sharpness, but underestimate the power of blunt weapons.

For instance, if knives or swords fail to pierce the heart, it is hard to kill the opponent quickly. Whereas blunt weapons, if hit, can easily cause fractures and ligament tears.

Yun Qinglian’s sword is very thin, her wrist lightly shaking, the sword erupted with a hissing sound as it cut through the air.

"Swish!"

Yun Qinglian moved, taking the initiative, fast as lightning, her sword like a Poison Snake striking, piercing toward the bald man.

The bald man roared, lifting the Mountain Opening Axe to cleave at Yun Qinglian.

Yun Qinglian’s eyes flashed, her body shifted horizontally by a meter; she wouldn’t be foolish enough to clash directly with the mighty Mountain Opening Axe.

"Bang!"

Yun Qinglian dodged, the bald man’s Mountain Opening Axe cleaved a dreadful crack into the ground, soil flying.

Yun Qinglian moved gracefully, her sword took an unexpected angle, being a soft sword, the tip could bend, aiming for the bald man’s waist.

The bald man appeared fat, but reacted swiftly, retracting the Mountain Opening Axe to use it as a shield at his waist.

"Zzla!"

The sword tip struck the Mountain Opening Axe, scraping off, sparks flying.

Yun Qinglian moved agilely, instantly shifting behind the bald man, stabbing toward the back of his heart.

The bald man didn’t react well, turning while sweeping the Mountain Opening Axe horizontally.

"Clang!"

Yun Qinglian’s sword was deflected, pushing her back several steps, her Longsword ringing.

"Little wench, now you see the prowess of this Sect Leader?"

Yun Qinglian sneered, "Never thought a fat pig could be so formidable?"

Saying this, Yun Qinglian attacked again with her sword.

Clang, clang, sparks flew as the two clashed fiercely, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Yun Qinglian’s fighting style was balanced offense and defense.

The bald man fought with wide, powerful strokes.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic clash, Yun Qinglian was forced back by a mighty strike from the bald man.

Yet the bald man’s face looked grim, his gaze sinister, his chest clothes stained with blood from Yun Qinglian’s sword, leaving a roughly five-centimeter wound.

The bald man roared in anger, charging at Yun Qinglian with the Mountain Opening Axe.

This showcases a sharp weapon’s downside; if it can’t kill in one blow, dozens of stabs won’t suffice.

"Boom boom...!"

The bald man was clearly enraged, his Mountain Opening Axe swung with great vigor, continuously shattering the ground.

Yun Qinglian was forced to temporarily evade, repeatedly dodging.

However, Yun Qinglian’s Cultivation was a notch higher than the bald man’s, making it difficult for him to harm her immediately.

The two remained in a stalemate for a while.

Below, both the bald man’s subordinates and the ordinary people were terrified, their Divine Souls shaking, faces turning pale by the earth-shattering battle.

In the air, Qin Yi felt bored, almost dozing off.

Yun Qinglian’s battle experience was significantly lacking; several times, she had chances to kill the bald man with one strike but didn’t seize them.

Swords focus on agility and variety; each attack must target the enemy’s vital points. Yun Qinglian often hit inconsequential areas.

The bald man roared, his voice like muffled thunder, violently cleaving with the Mountain Opening Axe at Yun Qinglian.

Yun Qinglian retreated repeatedly, finally unleashing a Sword Qi to dispel the crisis.

Qin Yi shook his head, suddenly appearing beside Yun Qinglian.

Qin Yi’s appearance was too abrupt, like a ghost; everyone was startled.

The bald man instinctively ceased attacking.

Yun Qinglian glanced at Qin Yi, "No need to help, I can do it."

"But I’m about to fall asleep watching; your sword technique is quite exquisite, but poorly executed. Even though your Cultivation is higher than his, you’re still forced to retreat repeatedly."

Yun Qinglian’s face turned red, "He’s wielding the Mountain Opening Axe, powerful and heavy, I can’t just clash head-on, can I?"

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, "But you can’t be tickling him with the sword either, right? Do you know the body’s vital points? Brow, eyes, throat, all are lethal. But you keep hitting irrelevant spots. To an outsider, it might seem like flirting rather than fighting."

Yun Qinglian: "..."

"Spare me, would I flirt with a fat pig?"

The bald man looked at Qin Yi with a cold stare, "Where did this dandy come from? Get lost, or I’ll deal with you too."

"Give me the sword," Qin Yi stretched out his hand.

Yun Qinglian hesitated before handing the sword to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Watch carefully how I attack."

Yun Qinglian pouted, "Your Cultivation is so high; you could kill him without a sword."

"I won’t use Cultivation, relying solely on technique to kill him."

Yun Qinglian doubted, the opponent was a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, murmuring, "You’re bluffing."

Qin Yi chuckled, "Bluffing or not, you’ll see."

Then, he looked at the bald man, "Use your strongest move, remember, you only have one chance; if you can’t kill me, you’ll be the one dead."

"Damn, are dandies this arrogant now? I’ll chop you in half!"

The bald man roared, his aura soaring, charging at Qin Yi with the Mountain Opening Axe, viciously cleaving down with impressive momentum.

Yet, when the Mountain Opening Axe was five centimeters from Qin Yi’s head, Qin Yi suddenly stepped back, the Axe nearly scraping Qin Yi’s body as it slashed into the ground.

"Even the strongest moves have flaws."

Qin Yi said indifferently, taking advantage of the bald man’s Axe not being lifted, casually thrusting a sword.

The bald man grinned, slapping the sword body with his left hand.

However, instead of bouncing off, the sword wound around the bald man’s arm like a Poison Snake, creeping upward and, with a puff, stunned everyone—the sword tip wound up the bald man’s arm, bent, and directly pierced the bald man’s throat.

The swordtip penetrated just two centimeters but was enough to be fatal.

"Bang!"

The bald man’s body stiffened, the Mountain Opening Axe fell to the ground with a loud crash.

His face full of horror, clutching his neck, staggering as crimson blood spurted out between his fingers.

In the end, the bald man’s gaze froze, falling face-first to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
