Chapter 13: Master, I won!

"Master, stop joking. How could I be your opponent…" Li Ran smiled awkwardly.

"Don’t worry, I won’t bully you either. I won't use my cultivation and will only use one finger. If you can touch my body, you win."

"……"

My god! Those are my lines.  Li Ran wanted to cry but couldn’t shed a tear.

"Master, calm down. I really have nothing to do with Lu Xinran," he explained.

Leng Wuyan held her hand behind her back then said, "I'm testing your combat ability. What does it have to do with Lu Xinran?"

Trying to test my strength?  This is clearly an act of retaliation!

As expected, she was a female demon. Even though she was usually cute, once she got jealous, she would kill him in the name of love!

Li Ran said, "I admit defeat."

"I don't allow you to admit defeat!"  Leng Wuyan put her hands on her waist and said, "If you admit defeat, I …, I will ignore you!"

She came up with such a "punishment" after thinking for quite a long time just now.

"……"  Li Ran was in a dilemma.

In the end, he decided to "satisfy" her, or else, the outcome would end up even uglier for him.

"Master, take it easy on me, or you'll be widowed," Li Ran warned worriedly.

Leng Wuyan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know. It's just a test. You'll be fine."

"With Master's words, I feel much more at ease."

"Can we start now?"

"Wait a minute!"

"What’s wrong again?"

Li Ran licked his lips and said, “What if, I mean what if, I won by luck. Are there any rewards?"

"Reward…" Leng Wuyan thought for a moment. “If you win, I promise you to get any one thing of your choosing, as long as it's nothing too excessive."

"Alright."  Li Ran nodded in agreement.

Buzz~

With a slight sound, dark shadows spread out from Leng Wuyan’s body. It looked like a layer of translucent film enveloped the entire Houshan Manor.

In an instant, everything turned completely silent. Li Ran was still standing there, but he lost all perception of the outside world.

The entire mountain seemed to have become an isolated island.

"Is this the domain of Emperor-level experts?" Li Ran felt thrilled in his heart.

"Let's start. No one will disturb us," Leng Wuyan said.

"Alright." He didn’t say anything more. His body instantly transformed into a shadow and appeared behind her. It was as if he had sprung from the ground..

His speed was a hundred times faster than Lu Xinran!

However, at the moment he executed his attack, similar to what happened in the battle before, a slender jade-like finger extended and poked his forehead.

"Too slow," Leng Wuyan said.

Before she could finish speaking, another Li Ran suddenly appeared behind her. His palm carried a gale as it slammed towards her.

"It’s not a bad idea to use the shadows as a disguise. Unfortunately, you’re still too slow." Leng Wuyan bent her finger and flicked him away.

Li Ran rolled on the ground for a while before rubbing his sore forehead..

"Again!” His figure turned blurry once more, turning into a tide of shadows, similar to a tsunami breaking shore..

However, no matter what he did, there would always be a jade-like finger in front of him. It felt impossible to ever break past her line of defense.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Li Ran was sent flying countless times.

He half squatted on the ground, a trace of blood slowly oozing from the corner of his mouth. In fact, Leng Wuyan didn't exert any force. His injuries were just the result of shock.

Emperor-level experts' bodies were simply too terrifying!

Leng Wuyan couldn't help but say, "Alright, let's stop here…"

"No, it's not over yet!" Li Ran’s determination had already reached its peak. With a wave of his hand, a silver spear appeared.

After taking a step forward, the surrounding air appeared to have frozen. The spears' ornamental silver feathers trembled wildly and it was constantly emitting a spar spear intent.

"Eh?" Leng Wuyan raised her brows.

A white light surfaced in Li Ran’s eyes growing brighter and brighter. In the end, she wasn't even able to directly look at him…

Holding the spear with his right hand, the world suddenly dimmed. It felt as if all the surrounding light had gathered on the spears’ tip.

"White rainbow…pierces through the Sun*!" The spear shot out and silver light surged.

(TL/N: Sun Halo. the name of this skill.)

Terrifying spear intent filled the area, illuminating the entire mountain as if it was the morning sun shining its light from above..

"Interesting." Leng Wuyan smiled, her eyes filled with admiration.

Clang!

Her index finger lightly touched the tip of the spear, and the white light instantly vanished.

No matter how Li Ran exerted his strength, the silver spear trembled and roared. He was unable to take another step forward.

"Your spear technique is not bad. Who did you learn it from?"

"This is the Li family's spear technique!" As Li Ran spoke, he suddenly released his right hand and pressed it against Leng Wuyan's chest.

Just as Leng Wuyan was about to push him away, his left hand formed a seal. His eyes reflected a feeling of depth, and a wave of pressure suddenly assaulted her.

Youluo Temple’s secret technique, Spirit Suppression Secret Seal!

The surrounding air thickened into a swamp-like consistency, each and every movement felt as if it encountered an invisible force resisting it.

Li Ran used this technique to delay her reaction!

"Good technique!" Leng Wuyan's eyes were filled with admiration.

Even she had to use a bit of strength to break free of the secret seal.

Pfft!

Li Ran suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, sending him flying back. With a puff sound, he fell to the ground. He was completely still.

"Ran'er!"

Leng Wuyan was shocked. Could it be that I didn't control my strength well?

She hurriedly flew over and hugged Li Ran in her arms, her spiritual Qi instantly swimming around him.

"Strange. His meridians are stable. He is completely fine…"

Leng Wuyan suddenly froze.

She slowly lowered her head and saw a hand grabbing her bosom.

Li Ran spat out blood as he laughed sneakily. "Master, I won."

Leng Wuyan: (⊙_⊙)
