Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Spar (3)

“I refuse.”

Li Feng’s firm voice rang out as he looked seriously at Lan Suyao.

“Senior, I’m not a fool. Just because you offer a bit of your body, you think you can manipulate me as you wish?”

He said it with a sneer.

Lan Suyao, stunned for a moment, slowly glanced down at the hand that was still kneading her breast.

Seeing this, Li Feng gave a small cough before retracting his hand … of course, not before giving it one last hard squeeze.

Then he turned his back and began to walk away slowly.

“Well then, I’m taking my leave. If you still want me to help with that task of yours, I can but under the terms we had agreed—”

But before he could finish, an attack shot straight toward his back.

“…!”

He spun around and raised his arm to guard.

Crack!

Crack!

A sharp, icy sensation tore through his arm, freezing it instantly.

He turned to look at the woman who had attacked him.

“…What is the meaning of this, Senior Lan?”

Casually, he shook the ice off his arm, letting the fragments fall to the floor.

Lan Suyao just smiled but this time, her smile was almost… maniacal.

“I knew it. You are strong…”

She raised her hand, and a nearby training sword flowed into it as if drawn by her will.

Then she aimed it directly at Li Feng, and her aura shifted sharply.

Even Li Feng’s instincts screamed a warning.

… from the refined, beautiful woman before him that now radiated cold, deadly intent …. as if a vicious beast had awakened..

Sensing her rising battle intent, Li Feng could only exclaim,

“Are you out of your mind!?”

He had never expected this hot woman behind that perfect, refined image to be this obsessed with a fight.

Lan Suyao didn’t seem to mind his tone, as her smile widened.

“Come. You’re not leaving here until you defeat me.”

As her words ended, she vanished like a gust of wind.

“..!”

Swing—

A flash of icy light cut through the air.

The slash struck Li Feng’s chest, and he let out a grunted, “Ugh..!”

It felt as if a frozen hammer had slammed into him.

His massive body flew like a cannonball toward the thin barrier she had activated to isolate the training ground.

BOOM!

The barrier didn’t even shake.

Then, Li Feng slid down the wall, landing on his feet.

He looked at his chest as his robe had been slashed open, ribs exposed and his bare sculpted muscle can be seen.

’…It hurts a bit, but there’s no killing intent.’

Li Feng inwardly thought then he slowly looked up at the woman in the distance, smiling expectantly at him.

’I guess she really just wants a real spar… Hmph. But why must I play along with what she wants?’

Li Feng didn’t mind being used if he gained satisfaction from it but clearly, this woman was pushing her luck.

’Since she doesn’t want to kill me, I’ll just stay still. Heh, I’ll just treat this as a body refinement session.’

With that thought, he sneered, crossing his arms as he stood firm….determined to show this woman that not everything in the world would always goes her way.

Seeing this,

Lan Suyao frowned slightly.

She hadn’t expected Li Feng not to retaliate.

’Was that not enough? It seems I need to increase my strength a bit more.’

A smile curved her lips as she vanished from her spot and reappeared right in front of him, thrusting her sword toward his abdomen.

BOOM!

A burst of icy qi exploded outward.

Li Feng’s body felt as if it had been struck by an even colder hammer.

But it still didn’t truly damage him.

And seeing him remain there with his arms crossed, while his body coated in ice.

Lan Suyao finally gritted her teeth in frustration.

“What are you doing!? Fight back!”

She shouted angrily as she leapt backward to put some distance between them.

As much as she loved battle, she didn’t really want to kill a fellow disciple.

That was why she had held back, why she still hadn’t used her spirit weapon and just use a normal sword.

Yet even so… it still wasn’t enough to make Li Feng move.

Her brows knitted as she began thinking of a way to force this pervert to fight seriously.

’…Wait. A pervert?’

_

_

Li Feng, seeing her lost in thought, looked at her with a sneer.

“Senior Lan, I, Li Feng, am not someone you can manipulate so easily. Hmph. If you think a little bit of seduction is enough to sway me, then you’re clearly wro—”

She interrupted him.

“If you manage to land another blow on me,” Lan Suyao said calmly, “I’ll let you use my mouth right now.”

The cold atmosphere seemed to freeze for a heartbeat.

After the silence linger for a while,

Lan Suyao frowned, thinking it didn’t work.

’It seems I misjudged his character—’

BOOOOM!

Before the thought even finished, a terrifying aura erupted from Li Feng.

Craack!

Craack!

The ground beneath him began to fracture under the sheer intense pressure as debris slowly lifted into the air.

Feeling the heavy pressure,

Lan Suyao’s eyes widened as she stared at him.

“Senior Lan,” Li Feng said calmly, “it seems it was truly rude of me to hold back…”

He took a single step forward.

Crack!

The ice coating his body slowly disappear …. but it didn’t melt….it disintegrated, crushed into nothing under the overwhelming pressure.

Li Feng then lowered into his stance once again, his gaze steady and determined.

“…Come. We, cultivators should be sincere when a fellow cultivator wishes to spar.”

WHOOSH—

A fierce pressure swept past Lan Suyao, sending her hair dancing wildly in the wind.

Yet instead of fear, her lips slowly curved upward.

A smile.

A deeply excited smile.

Thump.

She kicked the sword that had been stabbed into the ground.

It spun in a beautiful arc and landed on her shoulder.

Then the sword in her grasp slowly glowing an icy blue.

“That’s right! This is what I’m talking about…”

She pointed the sword at Li Feng and lowered into her stance.

With a smile like an excited child,

“…Come, Li Feng!”

A terrifying aura burst also forth from her, and unlike Li Feng’s raw, overwhelming pressure, hers was sharp and refined.

Like a blade honed to pierce the heavens.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The air between them twisted violently as their auras collided.

Then—

The pressure snapped.

Lan Suyao moved first.

She didn’t waste time testing him again.

Her sword flashed, as cold qi condensing tightly along the blade as she stepped in and stabbed straight at his throat.

Fast.

Direct.

No excess movement.

Li Feng tilted his head slightly and caught the flat side of the sword with his palm.

CRACK!

But the instant his hand touched her sword, ice immediately spread across his hand, freezing his skin in an instant.

And yet, his hand remained firmly on the sword.

Feeling the firm grip, Lan Suyao’s eyes narrowed.

CRACK!

She twisted her wrist and pulled back, frost exploding outward as she spun extremely fast and slashed at his waist.

SWING!

CLANG!

But the sword coated in icy qi was stopped once again—

…As Li Feng raised his knee and dropped his elbow, clamping the sword between them.

Even while standing on one leg, his massive body remained dangerously still, under precise control.

He then raised his free hand and swung it down toward her face.

BOOM!

The power behind the punch exploded, tearing through the air as if it could pierce the wind itself.

“..!”

Lan Suyao reacted instantly.

She tilted her head just enough, as the fist grazing past her cheek, and the shockwave slamming into the ground.

BOOOM!

Before Li Feng could follow up, she kicked off the ground and flipped backward, pulling her sword free from his clamp.

CRACK!

Ice shattered where the blade had been pinned.

She landed lightly, boots scraping against the frozen floor while her eyes remain locked onto him.

“…You’re insane,” she smiled brightly. “Grabbing my sword barehanded? Not many dare to do that.”

Li Feng just flexed his fingers.

The ice coating his hand cracked and fell apart, revealing skin that was only lightly bleeding.

He frowned at the shallow cut as it healed back to normal in an instant.

Li Feng was genuinely amazed.

With his body now refined by fifty-two stars, he felt that if he were to face Bai Qianlong again, he wouldn’t be injured so easily.

’…It seems getting that mouth of hers won’t be easy.’ he thought inwardly.

Suddenly, Lan Suyao’s expression sharpened.

She stepped forward again and this time, her sword didn’t glow wildly.

Instead, the cold qi compressed tightly along the blade’s edge, thin and deadly.

When she reappeared in front of him—

Her stance lowered, and she swung.

Slash!

She moved in a straight line, the blade cutting horizontally toward his ribs.

Li Feng hurriedly raised his forearm to block.

SPURT!

Yet blood burst forth as cuts opened across his chest, while his robe got ripped apart.

Li Feng’s eyes widened as icy qi invaded his arm and chest.

Looking at the gorgeous woman smiling excitedly with sword in hand—

’…I guess there’s no need to be gentle anymore.’

His blood boiled.

His fighting spirit also slowly surged.

Ignoring his injuries, Li Feng swung his hand at her again.

But this time, Lan Suyao didn’t dodge.

She smiled faintly and raised her sword to block his fist.

Ting…

“Eh?”

Li Feng froze for a split second.

That strange sensation again,…. like his arm had sunk into water, and his force dispersing unnaturally.

But Lan Suyao didn’t give him time to think as she counter back.

SLASH!

SPURT!

’…Damn it! This woman is definitely weird!’

With a kick, he jump back and create some distance.

Blood splattered across the frozen ground as cold seeped into his muscles, slowing his movements.

“Hah…” Li Feng laughed slowly, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb. “Senior is really strong.”

Lan Suyao didn’t reply.

She was already moving.

Her figure blurred, splitting into overlapping afterimages as icy qi exploded beneath her feet.

SWISH—

SWISH—

SWISH!

Three powerful slashes came at once.

Left.

Right

Middle.

But instead of retreating, Li Feng stomped forward.

BOOM!

The ground shattered as he rammed straight through, arms crossed to shield his vitals.

CRACK! CRACK!

Ice shattered against his skin, leaving shallow cuts that healed almost instantly.

He then swung his elbow—

WHOOSH!

But Lan Suyao bent backward at an impossible angle, hair flying as she slid beneath the strike and twisted her body.

SLASH!

Her sword carved upward.

Li Feng try to twisted his torso at the last moment.

SPURT!

But blood still sprayed as the sword skimmed his side, and freezing the wound instantly.

“Tch.”

Seeing her outstretched, delicate hand, he grabbed her wrist.

CLAMP!

And frost surged instantly, crawling up his arm like living ice—

CRACK!

Feeling the cold qi creeping into his arm, he simply tensed his muscles, veins bulging as he crushed through the freezing energy and yanked her forward.

But Lan Suyao’s eyes lit up.

Instead of resisting, she stepped in.

’…Too close!’ Li Feng thought as he saw her knee suddenly snapped upward—

BOOM!

It slammed into his abdomen, icy qi detonating point-blank.

“Ughh—!”

Li Feng was blasted backward, his massive body carving trenches through the frozen stone.

Before he could recover—

She was already above him with her sword raised high, as cold qi can be seen compressed so tightly it screamed.

“Good!” she shout excitedly, eyes burning. “Don’t disappoint me now, Li Feng!”

She descended.

SLASH—!

Li Feng roared.

His aura erupted violently, with silvery light flaring beneath his skin as all fifty-two stars throbbed in unison.

He didn’t cross his arms this time.

He met the attack head-on with his fist.

CRACK—BOOOOM!

The impact detonated like frozen thunder, shockwaves smashing violently into the barrier surrounding the training ground.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

And the barrier trembled for the first time.

Both figures were thrown apart.

Lan Suyao flipped through the air and landed lightly, boots sliding several meters before stopping.

Li Feng also slid backward on one knee, steam rising as frost evaporated off his body.

Then he stood slowly.

And blood can be seen ran down his arm … then stopped as the wound healed in an instant.

His grin widened as he looked at the crazy, seductive woman.

“…It seems it truly won’t be easy to get that mouth of yours, Senior.”

Lan Suyao just laughed, eyes shining with manic delight.

“Haha… yes. This is it!”

Without another word, both figures blurred.

BOOM!

They collided mid-field—fist and blade crashing again and again.

CLANG!

BOOM!

CRACK!

Speed that overtook sound.

Cold qi and raw force tore the training ground apart as the fight escalated—neither yielding, neither retreating.

Two monsters continue to tearing into each other, smiling through blood and pain.

And this time—

Neither intended to stop.
