Chapter 67 Zi Nu is Jealous
Bai Yifei walked into Zilanxuan.
He wore a long white robe, had a handsome face, and a cold demeanor, like a fairy who was untouched by worldly affairs.
But his eyes revealed a sharp edge.
"Xia Bing," he said, his voice icy.
"The Marquis in Blood-Clad Robes." Xia Bing bowed, "I've long admired you."
"Enough with the nonsense." Bai Yifei looked at him. "I'm here today to settle things with you."
"To settle things?"
"Last time at the palace, we fought to a draw," Bai Yifei said, a cold glint in his eyes. "I'm not convinced."
"so what?"
"Therefore, I want to fight you again," Bai Yifei said in a deep voice. "This time, I won't hold back."
"Okay." Xia Bing nodded. "Let's do it then."
The two went to the backyard and stood facing each other.
Zi Nu, Jing Ni, Xue Nu, and others watched the battle from the sidelines.
"Xia Bing." Bai Yifei drew his longsword. "Be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Xia Bing and thrust his sword into his chest.
This sword strike was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.
But Xia Bing was prepared.
He dodged the sword with a sidestep, then slapped Bai Yifei's shoulder with his palm.
"Bang!"
The two palms met, and an invisible wave of energy spread outwards.
Bai Yifei took a step back, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
He hadn't expected Xia Bing to react so quickly.
"Again!"
Instead of retreating, he advanced, his long sword transforming into a streak of white light as it swept towards Xia Bing.
Xia Bing stood still, hands behind her back, her expression indifferent.
Just as the sword light was about to touch him, he gently raised his hand and pinched the long sword between two fingers.
"What?!" Bai Yifei's expression changed drastically.
His sword strike contained all of his power.
He was actually caught between Xia Bing's two fingers?!
"Blood-Clad Marquis." Xia Bing looked at him. "Your swordsmanship is not bad, but it's still a little lacking."
"What's missing?"
"Mindset." Xia Bing loosened her grip and took a step back. "Your swordsmanship is too fierce, too eager for victory. Such swordsmanship may be invincible against the weak, but it will reveal its flaws when facing a truly strong opponent."
"you......"
Bai Yifei bit her lip, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.
He had diligently practiced swordsmanship for over twenty years, only to be told by a young man that he was "almost there"?
"I refuse to accept this!"
He shouted loudly, and all the true energy in his body erupted.
A crimson light surged from the longsword and enveloped Xia Bing.
"Blood River Sword Technique!"
This is Bai Yifei's ultimate move.
Once unleashed, the surrounding air will be stained red with blood energy, as if one were immersed in a sea of blood.
But Xia Bing remained standing still, motionless.
He looked at the streak of blood and a slight smile played on his lips.
"That's it?"
He raised his hand and waved it gently.
A golden light surged from his palm, instantly engulfing the blood-red light.
"puff!"
Bai Yifei's body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His swordsmanship was actually easily countered by Xia Bing.
"Impossible..." he murmured, "This is impossible..."
"What's impossible?" Xia Bing walked up to him. "Your Blood River Sword Technique is powerful, but it's too forceful and easily broken. Against a true expert, you'll only be countered."
"you......"
Bai Yifei looked up at Xia Bing, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had practiced the Blood River Sword Technique for over twenty years and believed he had reached its pinnacle.
But this young man in front of him actually broke his ultimate move in one move.
Just how powerful is this person?!
"Bai Yifei," Xia Bing looked at him, "you're a talented person. I'll give you a chance."
"What opportunity?"
"Refuge with me."
"What?!" Bai Yifei's expression changed drastically. "You want me to betray Ji Wuye?!"
"It's not betrayal," Xia Bing shook her head, "it's abandoning darkness for light."
"Ji Wuye is no good person," Xia Bing continued. "Following him will only lead to your death sooner or later."
How did you know?
"Because I understand him," Xia Bing said calmly. "He's a selfish person. Once you lose your value, he won't hesitate to abandon you."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Whether I'm lying or not, you know in your heart." Xia Bing looked at him. "Blood-Clad Marquis, you're a smart man; you should know how to choose."
"......"
Bai Yifei fell silent.
He knew Xia Bing was telling the truth.
Ji Wuye is indeed not a good person.
But he couldn't bring himself to betray Ji Wuye.
"I'm sorry," he finally said, "I can't agree to that."
Why?
"Because..." Bai Yifei lowered her head, "Ji Wuye has been kind to me."
"A favor?" Xia Bing raised an eyebrow. "What favor?"
"Back then, my father was being hunted down by enemies, and it was Ji Wuye who saved my life," Bai Yifei's voice was a little hoarse. "I cannot forget to repay this kindness."
"......"
Xia Bing fell silent.
He never expected that Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye had such a connection.
"Okay." He nodded. "Since you have your reasons, I won't force you."
"But..." he looked at Bai Yifei, "I hope you remember what I said today. If you ever change your mind, you can come find me anytime."
"......"
Bai Yifei remained silent.
He stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned to leave.
He suddenly stopped when he reached the door.
"Xia Bing."
"Um?"
"You're very strong," he said without turning his head, "stronger than I imagined."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"But that doesn't mean I'll give up." Bai Yifei's voice was icy. "One day, I will defeat you."
After saying that, he strode away.
Xia Bing watched his retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Bai Yifei.
He is indeed a talented person.
Unfortunately, he was bound by gratitude.
But it's okay.
Sooner or later, he'll figure it out.
After Bai Yifei left, Zilanxuan returned to peace.
But Xia Bing knew that this was only temporary.
