This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 827 - 656: Can't Win, Not Fighting Anymore

Within a small Secret Realm controlled by the Purple Cloud Sect, two figures clashed with longswords, sparks flying fiercely.
Three days ago, Wan Tinggui suggested a duel to test their current strength. Liang Yi naturally didn't refuse and finally found time to ask Elder Zi for a small Secret Realm as a venue for their duel.
Under the collision of domains, Sword Qi raged like a storm, a heavy pressure descended from the sky, the earth cracked inch by inch, and dirt mixed with rubble flew in all directions. The invisible airwave almost destroyed half of the Secret Realm.
The sword shadows were like glimmers of light, like startling swans on a snowfield, separating and clashing again in the blink of an eye. In a few breaths, the two shadows had exchanged thousands of strikes!
One of the figures, a graceful silhouette with a phantom of a long river behind, used a different Sword Intent with each strike—wind, rain, thunder, lightning, gold, wood, water, fire, yin, and yang of the five elements, as if embodying Sword Dao itself.
This wasn't for show; each sword carried a completely different mystery, creating new pressure for the opponent and adapting specifically to the opponent's sword moves.
On the other hand, facing this dazzling and almost indefensible switch of Sword Intent, there was no sign of panic. The eyes remained calm, backed by the azure sky, and in the hand, it was as if holding the reflection of the sky and clouds, meeting change with constancy.
The weak point in the sword move from a second ago would become a trap to lure the opponent to strike the next. Such psychological battles occurred countless times every second. This wasn't just a contest of Sword Dao mastery but demanded enormous awareness of both combat experience and timing.
"Not bad!"
Even while exchanging blows, Liang Yi cast an appreciative look at his junior sister.
Neither of them had significantly employed cultivation; it was purely domain collision and Sword Dao sparring. Yet, even so, despite his Realm advantage, Liang Yi found it incredibly challenging to face his junior sister. Winning her in a short time was nearly impossible.
Su Youyi pouted, silent, while the sword light in her hand, akin to evening clouds, accelerated, and from a distance, it seemed to cover half the sky like a burning cloud.
Her senior brother's progress had been astonishing; during the duel, she found it difficult to focus elsewhere, yet he could casually make playful remarks, starkly highlighting the gap between them.
Su Youyi was a bit angry, not because her senior brother didn't hold back in the duel, but because she was frustrated at her inability to keep pace with him.
Liang Yi vaguely sensed his junior sister's thoughts but knew that going easy on her would be disrespectful to her efforts, even undermining her hard-earned results.
So what he had to do was to use his full strength without deploying the Disruption Domain, helping his junior sister to improve.
Hoo-hoo—
But at this moment, a melodious flute sound quietly rose, with a strange rhythm intertwining all things with the flute's melody.
In that instant, Liang Yi felt the world had changed; it harbored hostility towards him!
Taking advantage of his brief distraction, Su Youyi seized the moment, her sharp sword like a thunderbolt, swiftly bypassing her senior brother's three-foot Sword Domain, aiming directly at his forehead.
Liang Yi reacted swiftly, dodging the sword at the last moment before it reached his forehead. His right arm wielded the sword with flexibility akin to floating clouds, taking advantage of his junior sister's closeness to launch a counterattack.
But the sword edge that had slashed through the void countless times felt unusually obstructed this time, causing Liang Yi's sword to veer off terribly.
After separating from Su Youyi, Liang Yi was momentarily stunned. Would a Ninth Realm Sword Cultivator have a skewed strike? This question was as absurd as asking, "If a person is killed, will they die?"
Since the issue wasn't with Liang Yi, it was naturally due to some external interference.
Liang Yi's gaze moved past his junior sister's slightly panting figure to another graceful silhouette not far behind her.
Wan Tinggui.
"How's my Law Domain?"
Wan Tinggui removed the flute from her lips, a bit smugly boasting to Liang Yi.
Previously, she and Su Youyi tried to overpower Liang Yi in close combat, but as a Daoist Practitioner, she was no match for him, even dragging Su Youyi down while cooperating.
So Wan Tinggui stepped out of the battle circle, deciding to assist with her domain power from the side.
And without Wan Tinggui's interference, Su Youyi could match Liang Yi evenly in Sword Dao.
"Thank you!"
Seizing the opportunity, Su Youyi returned to Wan Tinggui's side, catching her breath and thanking her.
"No worries, just go knock your senior brother down."
Wan Tinggui smiled, her gaze locked on Liang Yi.
Usually, Liang Yi was an incredibly reliable companion. Even in the direst scenarios, one could always believe this boy would work a miracle.
But today, even though it was just a spar, facing Liang Yi made her feel his overwhelming, omnidirectional power.
At this moment, Wan Tinggui finally understood why those Sect Leaders from the Super Forces trusted Chen Hua so deeply and what it felt like to have an excellent teammate in the camp.
"Very intriguing, quite marvelous, I'm impressed you could comprehend such a domain."
Liang Yi moved his hands and feet, looking amazed.
It was a very awkward feeling; Wan Tinggui's domain completely altered the rhythm of everything within the domain, making his normally instinctual sword-wielding feel unfamiliar now.
Not just wielding a sword; Liang Yi felt everything, including raising his hands and feet, felt different. It was like if you hit an object with your left hand, it should have flown to the right, but because of Wan Tinggui's Law Domain, the object's direction didn't turn out as expected.
