"It seems Ning Sword Immortal and Duke Jing'an truly have a special connection!"
Gong Chang thought to himself.
At this mont, there were many others who shared the sa thoughts.
In the World, there have been nurous rumors and speculations about Li Fei and Ning Qingman's relationship, but no definitive conclusion has ever been reached.
Firstly, there's a large age difference between the two.
Secondly, although Ning Qingman acted several tis to save Li Fei, she inevitably got involved in the struggles between the Da Lan Dynasty and other forces. This easily led people to believe she has chosen to side with the Da Lan Dynasty, and her actions are not purely for Li Fei, but also for the Da Lan Dynasty.
Now, matters have beco clear.
Red Dust Pavilion Master Wen Xuexian publicly challenged Duke Jing'an, for reasons sohow involving Ning Qingman, leading Li Fei to declare in front of everyone:
"If you want Ning Qingman dead, it must be over my dead body first!"
Countless heroines and fairies, upon hearing this statent, were beside themselves, wishing they were the ones targeted by the Pavilion Master.
"If Duke Jing'an could say such words for , I would die with no regrets!"
A fairy who had recently been praised by the masses and ascended the World Red Beauty List, said this holding her heart.
Her admirers around her, upon hearing these words, though heartbroken, were convinced.
If truly losing to that Lord, what reason is there not to be convinced?
Three streaks of flowing light cut through the sky, landing on the section of the main road where Li Fei and others were.
Wenren Zheng, Zuo Jun, and Wang Chengze, three Martial Saints, arrived to spectate.
Wenren Zheng glanced at Wen Xuexian, then turned towards Li Fei:
"Next, you will face Lin Tianyi, do not be overconfident."
Without using Taoism against Wen Xuexian's three strikes, even if Li Fei wouldn't be hard, his state would inevitably be affected.
To duel Lin Tianyi in an incomplete state might pose danger.
When Lin Tianyi first reached the summit years ago, he almost bested all other peak experts in the world.
Such duels only decided victory or defeat, without life or death monts.
Because even upon first stepping onto the peak, Lin Tianyi had already distanced himself from other summit experts, just like Li Fei now.
Thus Lin Tianyi could hold back.
But now, if Li Fei were to duel him, and Li Fei indeed possesses the power to threaten Lin Tianyi, Lin Tianyi might not be able to hold back!
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Li Fei replied to Wenren Zheng.
Wenren Zheng only advised once, seeing Li Fei insist, he ceased further advice.
When others make firm decisions, no one can persuade them.
On the main road, a fierce wind arose, dust swirling.
Besides Li Fei and Wen Xuexian who were about to duel, four Martial Saints spectated.
"Thank you."
Wen Xuexian bowed to Li Fei.
She chose this mont to sever karma for the sa reason as True Monarch Wu Hui, which is to gain a better stance to spectate the upcoming strongest duel in a millennium, hoping to glean an opportunity for breakthroughs beyond the summit.
Li Fei could entirely deny her this opportunity.
By employing [Only I Have the Unique thod], Wen Xuexian couldn't even use Taoism, how could she cut through mortal ties?
Or perhaps Li Fei didn't even need to act, with the Great Blue Military God personally having a "friendly exchange" with Wen Xuexian.
But Li Fei accepted this karma, granting Wen Xuexian the chance.
"No thanks needed, I'm interested in witnessing what the Knife that Cuts Through Mortal Ties is."
Li Fei said calmly.
He wasn't overly vexed or angry about Wen Xuexian's actions.
To be fair, she isn't like those cunning and deceitful types.
Regardless of Wen Xuexian having saved Ning Qingman's life, even if she were rely an acquaintance.
She is the supre of knives, Ning Qingman is the legend of swords; if she wished for a fair duel with Ning Qingman, Ning Qingman certainly wouldn't refuse.
A contest of knife and sword solely for the pursuit of Tao, even if ending in demise, neither would harbor resentnt.
Li Fei was unwilling for Ning Qingman to duel Wen Xuexian, fearing Ning Qingman might lose deliberately to repay Wen Xuexian's kindness, thus becoming her Tao.
In such a case, Ning Qingman would fall in realm even if she didn't perish, interrupting her Sword Dao.
This was unacceptable to Li Fei.
Rather than an impure duel, better to handle it himself.
In truth, Li Fei held gratitude for Wen Xuexian.
If she hadn't thought of a thod for Li Fei to assu this karma on behalf of Ning Qingman, he might have struggled to stop Ning Qingman from acting.
After all, Ning Qingman isn't his subordinate; she possesses her own independent personality and pursuits.
As for preemptively killing Wen Xuexian, that would only create an irreparable rift between Li Fei and Ning Qingman.
Things are much better this way.
"Senior Wen, please—"
Li Fei extended his right hand, gesturing for Wen Xuexian to make her move.
Wen Xuexian did not carry a knife.
Since abandoning swords, she hadn't used weapons anymore.
Similar to Ning Qingman, aside from the legendary nine-level divine weapon, other weapons held no significance for her.
Wen Xuexian stood quietly, without any visible movent, the entire world seed to transform into her sheath, imasurable sharpness accumulated in heaven and earth!
Suddenly, she acted.
It's difficult to describe the Pavilion Master's action, neither fast nor slow, she lifted her left arm, her left hand forming a knife hand as she slashed towards Li Fei.
At the instant she swung her arm, ti lost its aning.
A clear light like a rising moon, not dazzling, yet overshadowing everything around.
Li Fei honored his promise, not using [Only I Have the Unique thod] to defend against this strike.
And then he realized, this was not a blade aid at the body—
The first ti in the Martial Arts Hall, witnessing Hao Yi, feeling tension during the assessnt.
