Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Bai Lu looked slightly stunned, as if she had figured out some of the problems. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and a glimmer of enlightenment gradually appeared in her eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao's words were like a gentle spring breeze, silently penetrating into her heart and making her long-standing confusion seem to have found an outlet.

"What you said is absolutely right, senior. What I am best at is communicating with the will in the sword. How come at this moment, I have forgotten my strengths?"

A grateful smile appeared on Bai Lu's face, and she bowed to Zhou Yiqiao again to express her gratitude.

The dinner continued in an atmosphere of great enjoyment for both the host and the guests, and the exchanges between the disciples of the Tijian Sect and Zhou Yiqiao became more and more in-depth.

They not only discussed kendo, but also touched upon various issues in practice, and Zhou Yiqiao gave his own insights and suggestions one by one.

As the night deepened, as some disciples who were anxious to digest today's harvest said goodbye and left, the dinner gradually came to an end.

After the banquet, Li Mubai saw that everyone was a little tipsy, so he invited Zhou Yiqiao to compete with him to help them get drunk.

"Brother Zhou, we have known each other for such a long time, but we have never had any sparring with each other."

"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together today, so why don't we have a friendly competition to broaden the horizons of my fellow junior brothers and sisters."

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Li Mubai's eyes.

Not only Li Mubai, but all the remaining disciples of the Tijian Sect in the field showed eager anticipation after hearing Li Mu's invitation.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly. He knew that Li Mubai wanted to take this opportunity to deepen his understanding of him.

He did not refuse and gladly accepted the invitation.

"Alright, I haven't sparred with anyone in a while. Brother Li, please."

When the disciples present heard that Li Mubai and Zhou Yiqiao were going to compete, they couldn't help but show enthusiastic looks.

To be able to witness the duel between two sword masters is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any sword practitioner from the Tijian Sect.

"Great! We finally have the chance to see the strength of Senior Brother Li and Senior Zhou!"

A young disciple said excitedly.

"Yes, if the brothers and sisters who went ahead knew about this tomorrow, they would definitely regret not staying to witness this moment with their own eyes."

Another disciple echoed, his eyes sparkling with excitement and envy.

The back mountain of the Tijian Sect under the night sky was softly covered by the moonlight, quiet and solemn.

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Li Mubai and Zhou Yiqiao walked to the center of the courtyard.

The two smiled at each other, then each of them took their starting stance.

Li Mubai's sword intent is just like his personality, calm and restrained, but within this calmness lies a power that may erupt at any time.

His sword energy slowly condensed in the air, forming a series of sword shadows that seemed to appear and disappear, ready to attack at any time.

Zhou Yiqiao's sword intent was even more agile and changeable. His sword energy floated in the air like flowing water, constantly changing its shape.

There is an elusive charm in his sword intent, making it impossible to predict his next move.

The two men appeared extremely polite. Not only did they not use their strongest moves at the beginning, but they also tacitly agreed not to even take out a magic sword.

Li Mubai took a light step, his figure swaying slightly, as if he had blended into the night. The tip of his sword lightly touched the ground, and circles of ripples invisible to the naked eye spread out from the ground, which was a sign of the interweaving of his internal strength and sword intent.

He groaned.

"The moon shadow sword dances, moving with the wind."

Before he finished his words, he turned into a stream of silver light and headed straight for Zhou Yiqiao.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao curled up a faint smile, without moving, but the sword energy around him seemed to have life, weaving itself into an impenetrable sword net, easily dissolving Li Mubai's attack into nothingness.

He spoke leisurely.

"Brother Li, this mediocre swordsmanship is not your level."

Upon hearing this, Li Mubai's sword force did not stop, but became even more fierce. The silver sword light drew arcs in the air one after another, cutting through the surrounding void. It was as sharp as a blade and carried an endless aura of murderous intent.

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows slightly. This attack now posed a real threat to him.

He leaned his body slightly to one side and moved through the courtyard with a miraculous pace and each step he took seemed to resonate subtly with the ground, making his movements more fluid and unpredictable.

The sword energy in Zhou Yiqiao's hand also changed accordingly. It was no longer just a simple defense, but turned into offense.

The tip of the sword tapped lightly, and every swing left a faint sword mark in the air. These sword marks quickly gathered into dense vortexes of sword energy, which dissolved Li Mubai's attacks one by one, and there was a faint momentum of counterattack.

"Brother Li, be careful!"

After the test, Zhou Yiqiao took the lead. The sword intent of rebirth, which had not been used for many years, suddenly burst out. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, as if hundreds of sword shadows leaped out at the same time, interweaving into a gorgeous sword picture, which was both ancient and mysterious, with a charm that transcended life and death.

Wherever the sword shadow passed, the void shattered. Li Mubai's body froze, and he felt his hair stand on end, as if countless cold needles were pricking him.

These needles piercing the body are extremely painful, and even breathing becomes a little difficult.

But Li Mubai, as the swordsman of the Tijian Sect, is no ordinary person either.

Faced with Zhou Yiqiao's sudden and powerful attack, Li Mubai's expression became extremely solemn.

He knew that if he didn't take it seriously, he would most likely be defeated in this wave of attacks.

Under the tense gazes of the crowd, Li Mubai took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with his hands, and chanted an ancient spell in a low voice.

As he spoke, a magical sword shining brightly flew out from his storage ring and hovered above his head.

This magic sword is named "Xingchen" and is Li Mubai's natal magic sword. The sword body is forged from the essence of meteorites from outer space. It contains the power of the stars and is extremely powerful.

"Xingchen, protect me!"

Li Mubai shouted loudly, and the Xingchen magic sword responded immediately, emitting a dazzling starlight that enveloped him completely.

The starlight was like a solid shield, blocking all of Zhou Yiqiao's sword attacks.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the sword shadow collided with the starlight shield, causing a strong energy wave to erupt, causing the surrounding air to distort.

Li Mubai stood under the protection of the starlight shield. Although his face was a little pale, he finally blocked Zhou Yiqiao's attack.

"In this case, Zhou will also use all his strength!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yiqiao's figure had disappeared from the spot, replaced by a hazy sword energy.

These sword energies are like the twilight in the evening, carrying a hint of mystery and depth that is impossible to grasp.

A moment later, a long sword emerged from the twilight sword energy. It was Zhou Yiqiao's natal magic sword, "Dusk"!

Zhou Yiqiao's hand stretched out from behind the sword energy and grabbed the hilt of Bo Mu's sword.

The tip of the sword trembled slightly, and sword energy spread out in all directions like waves. The entire space seemed to tremble with the power of his sword.

His eyes were firm and calm, as if everything in the world no longer mattered to him, leaving only the sword in his hand and the opponent in front of him.

Seeing this, Li Mubai knew that the competition had reached a critical moment.

He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, the true energy in his body surged wildly, and the Xingchen magic sword in his hand also emitted an even brighter light.

"Xingchen, dance with me!"

Li Mubai shouted loudly, and the Xingchen Sword drew mysterious tracks in the air as he directed. The sword light was like a meteor, cutting through the night sky and pointing directly at Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao was not in a hurry. He gently swung the Dusk Sword in his hand, and sword energy gathered like flowing water, forming a vortex of sword energy.

The vortex continued to spin, swallowing up Li Mubai's sword lights one by one, dissolving them into nothingness.

All the disciples of the Tijian Sect present changed color when they saw this.

They could feel the power in the sword intent of the two seniors, and that force made them feel palpitations.

Some disciples with lower cultivation bases couldn't even bear the pressure and retreated involuntarily.

"Brother Zhou, take my move 'Star River Reverse'!"

Li Mubai's voice came from the diffuse sword energy.

As he finished speaking, Li Mubai stretched out his body, as if flying in the air. The starlight around him became more dazzling and brilliant, as if he could really control the power of the stars.

The Xingchen Sword turned into a brilliant galaxy in his hand, and the tip of the sword lightly touched the void.

In an instant, the entire sky seemed to change color, and the power of the stars surged wildly, gathering into an unstoppable torrent.

"The stars are rolling back, and all things are returning to their peaceful state!"

Li Mubai shouted in a low voice, and the galaxy-like sword light suddenly rolled back, not only engulfing the vortex of sword energy around Zhou Yiqiao, but also surging towards Zhou Yiqiao with a mighty force that could change the world.

This move was the culmination of his years of practice and understanding of the way of the sword, and it was also the last blow he could make.

A solemn look finally appeared on Zhou Yiqiao's face, his whole body's true energy boiling, and the Dusk Sword seemed to come alive in his hand. A faint blue light emanated from the sword body, merging with the surrounding twilight sword energy to form an unprecedented sword field.

In this area, Zhou Yiqiao seemed to have become the master, the flow, speed and direction of the sword energy were all under his control.

"I will use the 'Hundred Changes of Sword Intentions' taught by my predecessor to follow up Brother Li's 'Reverse Roll of the Galaxy'!"

With a roar, two powerful forces collided in the air.

The sword light and sword energy intertwined, like the most gorgeous fireworks in the sky, but with destructive power.

The disciples of the Tijian Sect had no time to watch the competition between the two. They all used their spiritual power and looked for cover, fearing that they would be affected by the aftermath.

The entire valley echoed with a deafening roar, and the ground shook continuously, as if even the heaven and earth changed color.

At this moment of life and death, the two forces finally reached their peak, followed by suffocating silence.

In the air, two rays of light gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of Li Mubai and Zhou Yiqiao.

The two men had torn clothes and messy hair, looking extremely disheveled, but their pale faces were full of smiles.
