Chapter 318
Le Zhengli kept launching attacks. Unlike his usual passive counterattacks when facing Yinuo, today he was almost always taking the initiative.
Every punch and every thrust of his was full of power and speed. However, Le Zheng Yuhua seemed to be able to handle it with ease. His swordsmanship was exquisite and chilling. Every collision with the Shenlong Dagger made a crisp sound, but the sword remained intact.
Le Zheng Shuiling was so stunned that she dared not breathe and nervously held Le Zheng Qiming's hand. Le Zheng Qiming was also immersed in this wonderful battle. Fortunately, his barrier could prevent them from being accidentally affected, so he didn't become too envious.
Le Zhengli still couldn't fully accept his progress. His eyes became more focused and his attacks became more fierce. It seemed that the only thing in his mind was winning and proving his ideas.
However, Le Zheng Yuhua always seemed to be able to see through his intentions and respond in advance.
Mu Xin was watching the competition quietly. She looked at Le Zheng Yuhua's calm eyes and precise movements, and nodded secretly in her heart. She knew that Le Zheng Yuhua's strength had far exceeded her initial expectations, and he had extraordinary potential and talent.
Mu Xin's expression still darkened, she thought of the future she saw that day. According to the information she knew, even if they were outnumbered, with four on the other side and three on their side, it wouldn't come to that, even if Gongsun Yan took action himself.
"It seems that there are still powers in the Immortal Realm that we don't know about. We have done our best, but there is still unawakened power in their bodies. Forcing them too hastily may backfire. We need time to let them get familiar with it."
This is also one of the main reasons why Mu Xin did not stop them from competing.
Le Zhengli was cleverly counterattacked by Le Zheng Yuhua in one of his attacks, and he was forced to take a few steps back. He looked at Le Zheng Yuhua, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would really lose to him, which made him feel very unwilling.
However, Le Zhengli soon realized his problem. He looked up at the outermost barrier that Le Zheng had set up to defend against the demons, and his heart calmed down.
He took a deep breath and readjusted himself. He knew that the battle was not over yet and he still had a chance to turn the tables.
He rushed towards Le Zheng Yuhua again, this time his attack was more fierce and rapid. However, Le Zheng Yuhua seemed to have found his weakness, he swung his sword lightly, and a stream of cold air pierced Le Zhengli like a sharp blade.
Although Le Zhengli reacted in time, it was too late to dodge. He felt a chill coming from his chest, and his whole body stopped as if frozen.
He lowered his head to look at the tip of the sword against his chest, which was slightly cold. Le Zhengli, who had calmed down, accepted his defeat calmly.
"I really have to thank my sister-in-law for her foresight. If it was the Heavenly Sword, the result would not be like this. I lose."
Le Zheng Yuhua put away his sword and stood up. He knew that there was still a gap between him and Le Zhengli, but it was just that he was confused and had not yet used the true power of the Dragon Dagger. As Mu Xin said, his mana might have surpassed Le Zhengli, but he still had the advantage of his natural bloodline.
He looked at Le Zhengli respectfully, bowed and said, "Master Uncle, I appreciate your giving me the opportunity."
When Le Zheng Shuiling heard the result, she jumped for joy and hugged Le Zheng Qiming, not caring even if he disliked her.
"You look like this, it's not like you won."
“This makes me happier than if I won.”
Le Zheng Qiming could see her sincerity, "I really can't compare to her. Yes, it's hard to accept that others are better than you."
Le Zhengli went over and patted Le Zheng Yuhua's arm, then covered his chest with his hands, as if to avenge his sword strike.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? If I wasn't thick-skinned, this would be the result. Don't tell me, it really hurts."
Le Zheng Yuhua leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Indeed, I wanted to see if I could break the dragon armor's defense, but it didn't work."
Le Zhengli glared at him and said, "Don't come to me if you want to practice this kind of Kung Fu."
Then the two brothers laughed again and held each other's hands.
Le Zheng Shui Ling ran over and said to Le Zheng Li: "Master Uncle, how about competing with me?"
Looking at her holding Qianji in her hand and her eyes full of desire, Le Zhengli still ruthlessly refused.
"I am a loser. Go find your senior brother."
"I'm looking for you because you lost. I'm sure I can't beat you, brother. But you can give it a try."
Le Zhengli was shocked by her honesty, "You are really not polite at all. I am not bragging, I just look down on you. Even if I lose to your senior brother, you are still not my opponent. I am tired, I will compete with whoever I want to compete with."
"Really... Is the gap so big? No, I still need to work hard and practice with Master."
Le Zhengli glanced at Le Zheng Shuiling out of the corner of his eye. She was not jealous of Le Zheng Yuhua's rise to prominence, nor was she angry because he called her weak. Instead, she was thinking about surpassing them through hard work.
If I had this mentality, I would definitely be the winner today, Le Zhengli thought.
As he walked forward, he smiled excitedly.
"inestimable."
Le Zhengli saw Le Zheng Shuiling's potential and immeasurable future from her determination and attitude. He realized that although Le Zheng Shuiling's current strength was not as good as his and Le Zheng Yuhua's, her desire for victory, her clear awareness of her own shortcomings, and her determination to improve herself through continuous efforts, would make it immeasurable what heights she could reach in the future.
At the same time, Le Zhengli also realized that he seemed to be trapped in the dream of being a child prodigy woven by others. In addition, as he had the blood of the dragon clan, he inevitably boasted too much, which led to his unacceptable idea that others surpassed him.
"As the saying goes, there are always people better than you. I have to be thankful that at least I was defeated by him today. It was just... a little painful."
Le Zhengli knew very well what he would face in the future. In front of the enemy, failure would most likely mean the end.
"Don't look for me recently. I need to find a place to practice in seclusion."
When Mu Xin heard this, she stood up nervously and asked, "Where is Master Uncle going to retreat? How long will he be gone?"
Le Zhengli turned his head and looked at her, unusually nervous, guessing that there might be some action from the Immortal Realm.
"With it here, it doesn't matter whether it's far or near. I'll only be gone for three days, so it shouldn't be that difficult, right?"
"Three days? That should be fine. I haven't heard any rumors so far."
"If you have something to do, call me back in advance."
Le Zhengli threw the stone in his hand and turned away.
Le Zheng Yuhua came over and returned the sword to Le Zhengquan, and comforted Mu Xin: "If they really attack, it won't be just a few people. There are only demons in the wilderness of Jimen. The East Gate is through the Black Forest. The remaining North Gate and West Gate are open in front of the gate. There are few people outside Jimen Pass. If there is really something unusual, I believe they will be able to detect it quickly."
"I know."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Of course, we are not doing nothing. We should make the best of it."
Mu Xin nodded and sat down, still feeling a little uneasy.
