But they didn't feel happy for long, as they saw a black shadow shooting out from the smoke of the explosion. It was so fast that the flying swords couldn't react in time.
"Damn it, he can even escape?" Seeing Ye Liuyun break free from his siege, Nangong Ao hurriedly swept a burst of sword light from his mysterious weapon towards Ye Liuyun, trying to force Ye Liuyun back.
However, Ye Liuyun dodged the sword's sweeping blow with his nimble figure and came above Nangong Ao.
"Qigong Cannon." Ye Liuyun gathered his strength, pushed with both palms, and a basin-sized amount of internal force blasted towards Nangong Ao.
This attack came from very close distance, and Nangong Ao had no way to dodge.
"Damn it." Nangong Ao changed his hand gestures, and the twelve flying swords flew in front of him at a faster speed, blocking Ye Liuyun's close-range Qigong cannon.
The power of Ye Liuyun's Qigong cannon has been increased to a higher level as she reached the middle stage of the Innate Realm. The impact is very heavy, but it is still not enough to break through Nangong Ao's sword formation defense.
"Still not enough? Then let's try another move, the Penetrating Killing Cannon." The meridians in Ye Liuyun's body changed, and the Qigong cannon that was shot out from his hands quickly shrank, changing from a gaseous state to a fiber optic state. The fiber optic cable just hit the exact center of the twelve flying swords, and that position was the weak point of the sword formation.
"Crack!"
With just a sound, a thin beam of light pierced through the center of the sword formation and hit Nangong Ao's chest.
Even with the armor's protection, Nangong Ao still suffered a severe blow and was knocked back again, only stopping when he crashed into the barrier of the enchantment.
"How could this happen?" Nangong Ao began to doubt his life.
However, Ye Liuyun's attack did not stop there. This attack could not defeat Nangong Ao. Ye Liuyun's real body attacked, and a figure smashed towards Nangong Ao with a heavy fist. Nangong Ao quickly turned his head and dodged the punch.
But he was able to dodge the punch, but he could not dodge Ye Liuyun's sweeping kick, which hit Nangong Ao's waist.
"Puff!" Nangong Ao flew out along the barrier and at the same time, another mouthful of blood spurted out.
The sword-controlling technique is indeed very difficult, but the problem is that it is only effective against cultivators of magic. It is not enough to deal with cultivators like Ye Liuyun who mainly rely on physical attacks.
Because once someone gets close to you, you have no time to control the flying sword and fight back, and you can only rely on your own combat power to deal with it.
But so far, the cultivators who are good at close combat include sword cultivators and those who like fists and feet, but Nangong Ao is obviously not particularly good at close combat.
Ye Liuyun still wanted to pursue, but was blocked by the defensive sword formation formed by Nangong Ao's flying sword, and Ye Liuyun was forced to stop attacking.
"Too fast." Nangong Ao stood up again and touched his waist. If it weren't for the protection of the armor, he would not have been able to stand up.
"Third brother, I think it's about time. Are you sure you want to continue fighting?" Ye Liuyun secretly sent a message to Nangong Ao.
But Nangong Ao refused Ye Liuyun's proposal for a ceasefire. He was a very arrogant person and would never surrender unless he lost his fighting ability. The word "surrender" did not exist in his dictionary.
"Hmph! I haven't lost my fighting ability yet, keep going." Nangong Ao, holding a sword and carrying twelve flying swords, took the initiative to attack Ye Liuyun.
There was no way. His spell attack speed could not catch up with Ye Liuyun, so he had no chance of winning.
He could only make full use of his own advantages, that is, relying on the twelve flying swords and himself to launch a violent attack on Ye Liuyun.
Seeing Nangong Ao taking the initiative to step forward, Ye Liuyun sighed helplessly, and also took out his sword Fuxue and went to meet him.
Nangong Ao's flying sword also attacked. Ye Liuyun quickly opened these flying swords and fought with Nangong Ao again.
Ye Liuyun's eyes turned rapidly, and Nangong Ao's attack speed began to slow down. In this way, Ye Liuyun could easily deflect all of Nangong Ao's attacks.
"It's almost done." Ye Liuyun looked at Nangong Ao, who was determined to give up until he fell, so Ye Liuyun could only help him.
After disintegrating all of Nangong Ao’s attacks in one breath, you slapped Nangong Ao’s abdomen with your left hand.
"Falling Flower Palm." The Falling Flower Palm carried a penetrating force and pierced through Nangong Ao's defense in one breath. This time, Nangong Ao had no way to continue to resist.
"How can you be so strong?"
Nangong Ao did not fly out because Ye Liuyun's palm had no pushing force, but direct penetrating power.
Nangong Ao rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot, Ye Liuyun hurriedly supported him.
"Oh! It's so difficult to fight with relatives. If it's someone else who has nothing to do with me, I can knock him down with just a clap of my hands." Ye Liuyun complained in his heart as he looked at Nangong Ao who had fainted.
Everyone was stunned as they watched Nangong Ao fall.
Nangong Zheng hurriedly removed the barrier of the battlefield, and Nangong Ba came to Ye Liuyun as soon as possible.
"Eh? Well, my brother-in-law, you didn't do anything to him, did you?" Nangong Ba said with a little concern.
"Don't worry, no one will die." Ye Liuyun shook his head, then handed Nangong Ao to Nangong Ba.
After Nangong Ba took his brother in, he breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the other party was not in danger of life.
"You kid, if you can't beat them, then you can't beat them. Why are you so unconvinced? Hey!" Nangong Ba took Nangong Ao and flew up directly, and then landed in front of Nangong Zheng and others.
"Father, grandfather, clan leader, this unyielding guy has fainted. Let's treat his wounds quickly." Nangong Ba said.
Nangong Ao's biological mother hurried to her son and checked on his injuries. He didn't suffer any particularly serious injuries, it was just that the energy in his body was running wild.
"Husband, please help me remove the power running wild in Ao'er's body."
Nangong Lingtian nodded, then walked over and used his magic power to dissolve Ye Liuyun's internal force.
“Ah! A physical cultivator, worthy of being a physical cultivator, this kid from the Ye family has even cultivated internal strength. Seeing how relaxed and calm he looks, I guess he still hasn’t used his full strength. Among his peers, he is already very strong.” Patriarch Nangong said, stroking his beard.
The other elders also nodded in approval.
"It's my turn now. I'm going to meet my brother-in-law." Nangong Ba greeted everyone and went on stage.
Ye Liuyun on the stage had already taken a recovery pill and replenished the energy he had consumed.
But at this moment, Nangong Ba fell from the sky and landed in front of Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun felt a little unhappy when he saw this guy.
"Ah? Second brother, why did you come down? I just finished a fight, I think it's about enough." Ye Liuyun complained.
Nangong Ba was dissatisfied when he heard this.
"No, that won't do. The third brother has already competed with you. I definitely can't miss it. If I miss it today, who knows if I will have another chance." Nangong Ba said. Nangong Ba's worry was justified because Ye Liuyun could not stay in the Nangong family for a few days.
But Ye Liuyun really didn't want to fight with his relatives, as it would affect his sister's interpersonal relationships in the Nangong family.
For example, if she defeated all those who wanted to challenge her today, many people in the Nangong family would definitely feel like they were slapped in the face by outsiders. That's for sure.
But if I lose, my sister will have to live here for a long time, and it will be more or less a topic of criticism by others, so it's very difficult.
"This? Second brother, how about we change the way we compete? Let's not fight. Let's compare strength to see who is stronger. The strength I'm talking about does not include physical strength. Just like we did yesterday, let's arm wrestle." Ye Liuyun raised his hand and suggested.
Although Nangong Ba was a bit honest, he could see that Ye Liuyun was indeed in a difficult situation. He thought about it and decided that as long as they could compete again, it would be fine. After all, this time it was just a competition of strength, not who had the harder arm.
"Okay, come on, let's compete in strength." Nangong Ba agreed with Ye Liuyun's opinion.
Everyone around was stunned. They originally wanted to see Nangong Ba fight Ye Liuyun again, but unexpectedly, it turned into an arm wrestling match.
But it's better to watch something than nothing.
After saying that, Nangong Ba asked someone to bring a table.
"Come on, brother-in-law, let's have a competition. Arm wrestling is also a pleasure for men." Nangong Ba laughed.
But the contrast between him and Ye Liuyun was too great. It was like a big bear and a little sheep competing in strength. It was very funny.
"Come on." Ye Liuyun also stretched out his hand.
The referee was also speechless. It was his first time to be a referee for an arm wrestling match.
"Are you ready?" asked the referee.
The two nodded at the same time, and when the referee saw that they were ready, he immediately announced the start.
As the word "start" came out, a scorching heat suddenly burst out from Nangong Ba's body. He injected all his magic power into his body in an instant without showing any mercy. The main reason was that he had lost yesterday and he knew that Ye Liuyun was extremely strong.
Ye Liuyun did not expect that this big guy would be so serious and actually use brute force from the beginning.
Her slender arms were gradually bent.
"Eh? Second brother, you are being a bit unsportsmanlike." Ye Liuyun complained, then began to exert his strength.
The meridians in Ye Liuyun's body quickly transformed and soon became a converging type, concentrating his strength on his right hand, and his arm stopped bending.
“My goodness! I launched a sneak attack but I still couldn’t push your hand down in one breath.” Nangong Ba said speechlessly.
He felt a terrible force lifting his arms up, and he felt very helpless.
Although the two were only arm wrestling, the disciples of the Nangong family around them were using their spiritual sense to observe the power fluctuations of the two.
You can tell who is under more pressure by looking at the fluctuations in power.
If Ye Liuyun's internal force was like a thin mist, then the internal force emanating from Nangong Ba was obvious smoke.
From this point, it can be seen that Nangong Ba used obviously more strength, but even with such great strength, he still failed to press down Ye Liuyun's arm. This shows how terrifying the power contained in this thin young man in front of them is.
"This kid from the Ye family is really extraordinary. Among his peers, Nangong Ba's physical strength is already very strong. He also uses magic power to increase his physical strength. How can we not suppress this kid? Is this pure physical cultivation?" Nangong Zheng murmured.
But Patriarch Nangong has a different story.
"This little fellow's method of cultivation is very special. He seems to be able to freely mobilize the power in his body and gather it in one place, thereby exerting several times the strength. This little girl must have mastered the ancient body refining method. I have no doubt about this." Patriarch Nangong said.
"Brother Ba, come on, you can't lose. Brother Ao lost, it will be embarrassing if you lose again." Those who have a good relationship with Nangong Ba started to cheer.
When Nangong Ba heard these voices, he suddenly roared, and a strange image of the Taoist Palace appeared behind him. His momentum suddenly exploded, and his strength increased exponentially.
This guy even used up the power of the Dao Palace.
"Oh my god, even just moving his wrist requires the power of the Taoist Palace. I say, second brother, are you so afraid of losing?" Ye Liuyun watched as he finally tied the game, but was gradually suppressed by Nangong Ba.
She felt helpless for a moment. After all, she had not taken any elixir. It would be difficult to fight against it relying solely on her current physical strength and the effects of the Nine Revolutions Magical Ability.
“There’s nothing I can do. So many people are watching. If I lose again, how am I going to survive in the future? Brother-in-law, just admit defeat, you.” Nangong Ba said viciously.
The corner of Ye Liuyun's mouth twitched. She looked at her arm that was about to be pressed down, and suddenly her mind recalled an animation she had watched in her previous life. Her eyes lit up for a moment.
"Eh? Got it." Ye Liuyun laughed strangely.
She suddenly lost some of her strength. Nangong Ba saw that Ye Liuyun's strength suddenly disappeared. If he released his strength desperately like this, it would definitely cause inertia.
It's like, you are using brute force to suppress a target, and the target suddenly runs out of strength. Then based on inertia and habit, you will instinctively fall down, and your body will not be able to maintain balance.
"Eh?" Nangong Ba was stunned for a moment, seeing that Ye Liuyun's wrist was about to touch the table, but immediately, Ye Liuyun suddenly burst out with an even stronger force, and in an instant, he bent Nangong Ba's wrist back.
A powerful force landed on the table, causing it to explode with a thud, and Nangong Ba fell to the ground.
"How is this possible?" Nangong Ba was bewildered. He sat on the ground staring at his hands blankly, not understanding what was going on.
"Oh, I won, it feels so bad." Ye Liuyun rubbed his right hand, then smiled triumphantly.
As for the people from the Nangong family who were around, they were also confused. Nangong Ba was clearly about to win, so why did he lose suddenly?
“Hahaha, interesting! What a clever little fellow. He actually used this method to turn around a situation that was bound to be a loss.” Patriarch Nangong laughed.
Many people didn’t understand how Nangong Ba lost, but the top leaders of the Nangong family must have seen it.
"Isn't this cheating?" Shang Haihui said, rolling her eyes.
But Nangong Lingtian on the side laughed.
"There has never been a rule that you can't do this in arm wrestling. In the final analysis, it was just that the second brother was too careless and fell into this kid's trap."
The young men of the Nangong family basically didn't understand what was going on. They just felt that Nangong Ba lost suddenly, but they had no idea how he lost.
"Lost? Brother Ba lost. How did he lose? This is unbelievable."
There was an uproar all around.
After Nangong Ba lay in a daze on the ground for a long time, he seemed to understand what was going on. He looked at Ye Liuyun speechlessly.
"Brother-in-law, are you cheating?" Nangong Ba said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Ye Liuyun looked disapproving.
"There's nothing I can do. If you didn't use the power of the Palace of Dao, I could still compete with you. But now that you suddenly use the power of the Palace of Dao, how can I play? Then I must find a way, but this is indeed taking advantage of the situation." Ye Liuyun admitted it frankly.
"Hey! The game is over, Ye Liuyun from the Ye family won." The referee announced the result of the game.
Chapter 406: Running Away (4500 words + 1900 monthly tickets plus more)
Ye Liuyun's victory in this round was not just an abstract one. As the game ended, Nangong Ao, who had woken up, immediately dragged his injured body to the side of Ye Liuyun and Nangong Ba.
“Second brother, did you let this guy win on purpose?” Nangong Ao said dissatisfiedly.
Some other people who were on good terms with Nangong Ba flew down and asked Nangong Ba what was going on. They also took the opportunity to get to know this in-law of the Nangong family.
"Hey? Brother Ye, whose relative are you? You are so awesome that you defeated Brother Ao and Brother Ba." The children of the Nangong family began to praise.
As for Nangong Zheng and others, they did not stay here for long, but spoke to Nangong Hui and Ye Ninglu.
"I'll leave this kid to you. If he wants to play around in the inner tribe, then let him play around there. Just don't go to the forbidden areas in the tribe."
Ye Ninglu and Nangong Hui nodded at the same time and flew down as well.
