Nalan Yanran, this time, once again chose to take the initiative.
Her light and graceful body shot toward Lin Fan at an astonishing speed, and several fine wind blades appeared in the air!
But on Lin Fan's side, he simply closed his eyes!
Nalan Yanran frowned slightly and thought to herself, What the hell is he up to again!?
When the distance between them was only ten steps, Nalan Yanran suddenly struck, her longsword slashing horizontally.
The distance rapidly shortened, and when it was only five steps, Lin Fan finally opened his eyes.
His pupils contracted, wind rose at his feet, and his body fluttered and flickered like a leaf in a violent gale.
In a split second, he brushed past Nalan Yanran.
At the instant they passed each other, Lin Fan's sword also lashed out—two swords clashed and scraped, letting out a sizzling sound!
Sparks flew in all directions!
Meanwhile, the tiny wind blades carried by Nalan Yanran grazed past Lin Fan's body.
However, they didn't cause Lin Fan much harm, only tearing a few gashes in his robe.
A trace of astonishment flashed through Nalan Yanran's eyes!
He actually dodged it! He used footwork just now!
And it's only been one day, and he already learned it?
Nalan abruptly halted her body, spun her longsword once, and thrust directly at Lin Fan's shoulder!
Lin Fan's gaze sharpened, and in the instant the sword approached, he raised his sword to block at shoulder level.
"Ding!!"
Nalan Yanran's sword struck precisely on the Yun Qing Sword, producing a crisp metallic chime.
The tip of her light-blue sword hit the Yun Qing Sword, and the force of the impact caused her sword to twist into a strange arc.
Lin Fan grabbed his sword and gave it a sudden spin—this massive rebound force flung Nalan Yanran into the air.
Nalan Yanran stabilized herself midair, kicked off the courtyard wall, and used the force to strike at Lin Fan once more.
This time, her speed was even faster!
At the critical moment, Lin Fan twisted his body—Nalan Yanran's sword passed through the gap in his robe!
Nalan Yanran, gripping her light-blue longsword, swept it directly across Lin Fan's waist.
Lin Fan instantly felt a chill at his waist.
He immediately employed the Phantom Steps to dodge this strike, but a large portion of his waistline robe was sliced off.
Nalan Yanran furrowed her delicate brows.
That footwork again!
Damn it! How is this possible!?
He's already dodged two of my attacks in a row!
This doesn't resemble the Lin Fan from yesterday who just stood there and took hits like a fool!
Lin Fan also felt a chill down his spine—compared to yesterday, Nalan Yanran, now wielding a weapon, had clearly leapt a whole tier in strength.
Just now, he was this close to having his flesh ripped open!
Seeing that Nalan Yanran was momentarily distracted, Lin Fan soared into the air, Dou Qi surged up and gathered into the Yun Qing Sword!
"Skyborne Slash!"
Lin Fan gripped the Yun Qing Sword and swung down fiercely, a surge of sword qi blasting out!
The fierce gusts roared along with the sword energy.
Nalan Yanran's gaze burned like a torch as she stared at the oncoming sword qi, completely unflustered!
Yet inwardly, she was deeply shaken!
Did he really just learn this sword technique in one day?
To reach this level of power in a single day! And this sword style—she knows it too!
But she couldn't achieve the level Lin Fan had!
Immediately, her Dou Qi soared, and her light-blue longsword danced wildly—countless sword qi strands interwove into a dense sword net that met Lin Fan's attack head-on.
Boom!
The two streams of sword qi collided and exploded!
A massive cloud of dust was kicked up and hung thick in the air.
Then, from within the dust, a cyan figure carrying a blade of green light shot straight toward Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's expression was calm, not the least bit panicked, as he raised the Yun Qing Sword in front of him.
But Nalan Yanran's light-blue sword shifted from a thrust to a slash, cutting directly toward Lin Fan's neck!
Seeing the danger, Lin Fan leaned back, and the sword narrowly grazed his neck!
His sword flew out of his hand, but with the other hand he caught it steadily and countered with a backhanded stab.
Nalan Yanran's body swayed slightly and dodged Lin Fan's strike.
Cold sweat broke out across Lin Fan's body.
He thought to himself: This girl really isn't easy to deal with!
He then shifted his body and vanished into the swirling dust.
Nalan Yanran slightly frowned. At this moment, she couldn't sense Lin Fan's Dou Qi fluctuations at all!
But just then, a sudden cold gleam shot like lightning from the haze!
Nalan Yanran was shocked!
She quickly raised her light-blue longsword—green light surged from the blade, and at the moment the cold gleam was about to hit her…
The green light burst out and directly canceled out the cold gleam!
A deafening blast echoed!
The shockwave spread out.
The dust in the air was completely blown away by the shockwave.
Lin Fan thought to himself: She actually managed to block it.
Nalan Yanran was utterly shaken inside!
He's like a completely different person!
Just one day, and both his swordsmanship and footwork improved dramatically.
Is that even possible to achieve in a single day?
Could he have been hiding his strength before!?
At that moment, Lin Fan suddenly appeared before her again, slashing down with his sword.
Nalan Yanran collected her thoughts, quickly raised her sword horizontally in front of her.
"Dang!"
A harsh metallic clang rang out.
Nalan Yanran's body trembled—she was forced to stagger backward by the massive impact!
She felt a sharp pain in her palm!
Before she could recover, Lin Fan's second sword attack came again—she had no choice but to raise her sword to block it again.
But she could no longer withstand Lin Fan's assault.
The pain in her palm caused her grip to loosen, and the light-blue longsword in her hand fell to the ground!
By the time she regained her senses, Lin Fan had already placed his sword horizontally against her snow-white neck.
Lin Fan calmly said, "Seems Like You Lost Again."
