Chapter 13: Master, I Won!

"Master, please don't joke around. How could I possibly be your match..." Li Ran chuckled awkwardly.

Leng Wuyan stood with her hands behind her back, "Rest assured, I won't bully you. I won't use my cultivation. I'm going to fight you with a single finger only, and if you can touch my body, it will count as your win."

"..."

Li Ran felt speechless.

"Master, please calm down. I really have no relationship with Lu Xinran," he explained.

Leng Wuyan stood with her hands behind her back, speaking righteously, "I am testing your combat ability. What does it have to do with Lu Xinran?"

Testing his strength?

This was clearly a retaliatory strike!

She truly was a formidable woman. Despite appearing cute and naive most of the time, once she got jealous, she would want to "love and kill"!

Li Ran was at a loss, "Then I concede, I give up."

"No surrender allowed!"

Leng Wuyan placed her hands on her hips, "If you concede, I, I will ignore you!"

After much thought, this was the only "punishment" she came up with.

...

Li Ran was in a dilemma.

Ultimately, he decided to "indulge" her. Otherwise, his outcome would be even worse.

"Master, when you strike later, please go easy on me, don't go all out. Otherwise, you might end up being a widow," Li Ran cautioned, concerned.

Leng Wuyan chuckled, "Rest assured, I know what I was doing. It's just a friendly match; you won't be harmed."

"With your assurance, this disciple feels much more at ease."

"Shall we begin?"

"Wait a moment!"

"What's the matter now?"

Li Ran put on a pitiful expression, "Just in case... I mean, just in case I win, is there a reward?"

"A reward..."

Leng Wuyan pondered, "If you win, I will grant you a request, as long as it's not too excessive."

"Agreed."

Li Ran nodded, sealing the deal.

Buzz~

A soft sound, and a dark shadow spread from Leng Wuyan's body. It was like a semi-transparent membrane, enveloping the entire secluded villa.

In an instant, silence fell over everything.

Li Ran remained standing, yet he had lost all perception of the outside world.

The entire back mountain seemed to transform into an isolated island within Wang Yang's world.

"So, this is the domain of an Emperor-level expert?" Li Ran's heart raced with trepidation.

"Let's begin; no one will disturb us," Leng Wuyan said.

"Alright."

Li Ran didn't waste time. In an instant, he transformed into a shadow, appearing behind her as if he had shrunk inches.

His speed was over a hundred times faster than Lu Xinran's!

However, just as he was about to strike, a slender jade finger had already tapped his forehead.

"Too slow," Leng Wuyan remarked.

Before her words even fell, another Li Ran suddenly appeared behind her, his palm carrying a fierce gust of wind as it struck.

"Using shadows as a disguise, a good idea, but unfortunately, your speed is still too slow."

Leng Wuyan bent her finger, and like a cracking melon, she flicked Li Ran away.

Li Ran flipped in the air and landed, rubbing his sore forehead.

"Again!"

His figure blurred, transforming into countless shadows that surged like a tsunami.

No matter how Li Ran tried, there would always be a jade finger before him, an impenetrable barrier.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Li Ran didn't know how many times he had been sent flying.

He half-squatted on the ground, a trickle of blood slowly seeping from the corner of his mouth.

In truth, Leng Wuyan hadn't used much force at all; the injuries were a result of Li Ran's own backlash.

The physical body of an Emperor-level expert was truly terrifying!

Leng Wuyan couldn't bear it and said, "Alright, let's end the sparring here..."

"No, it's not over yet!"

Li Ran was already fired up.

With a palm gesture, a shiny silver spear appeared in his hand.

Taking a step forward, the air suddenly solidified, and the silver feathers on the spear shook violently, exuding a fierce intent.

"Hmm?"

Leng Wuyan raised an eyebrow.

The white light in Li Ran's eyes grew brighter and brighter, almost blinding.

His right hand gripped the spear's shaft, and the world dimmed abruptly, as if all the brightness had converged onto the spear's tip.

"White Rainbow Pierces the Sun!"

He thrust the spear, and silver light surged forth.

Terrifying spear intent filled the space, illuminating the entire back mountain like daylight!

"Quite interesting."

Leng Wuyan smiled slightly, her eyes filled with appreciation.

Clang!

Her index finger lightly tapped the spear's tip, instantly extinguishing the white light.

No matter how forcefully Li Ran tried, even as the silver spear quivered and clanged, it couldn't advance any further.

"You have some skill in spear technique. Who did you learn it from?"

"This is the Li family's spear technique!"

Li Ran spoke, suddenly releasing his grip with his right hand and pressing closer to Leng Wuyan's embrace.

Just as Leng Wuyan was about to push him away, she saw him form seals with his left hand, his eyes deep and profound. A surge of pressure suddenly enveloped her.

Hidden Gauze Sect's secret technique · Soul Suppression Seal!

The air instantly turned swampy, offering tremendous resistance to every movement.

Li Ran wanted to use this move to delay her reaction!

"Excellent move!"

Leng Wuyan's admiration in her eyes deepened.

Even she would need to exert some effort to break free from the suppression of the Soul Suppression Seal before being hit by the headbutt.

"Pfft!"

Li Ran suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.

With a thud, he fell to the ground, motionless, and without any sign of life.

"Ran'er!"

Leng Wuyan was shocked. Could it be that she hadn't controlled her strength properly?

She hurriedly flew over, cradling Li Ran in her arms, and her spiritual energy instantly spread throughout his body.

"Strange, his meridians are stable, he should be fine..."

Leng Wuyan suddenly froze.

She slowly lowered her head and saw a hand gripping her prominent feature. (Tn: Her mountain)

While spitting out blood, Li Ran grinned mischievously, "Master, I win."

Leng Wuyan: (⊙_⊙)
