Chapter 794: Chapter 791: Victory Beckons
The current situation perfectly confirms Xu Ming’s previous warning.
Honestly speaking, although Sun Miaohan’s moves are extremely sharp at the moment, they are not unbearable for Ji Dantong. In fact, by closing the distance and relying on the power of the Divine Weapon, Ji Dantong can faintly suppress her.
However, under Sun Miaohan’s relentless provocations, Ji Dantong finds herself mentally disturbed, repeatedly on the verge of making irrational moves.
But this time, Ji Dantong’s performance greatly exceeded the expectations of the higher-ups!
...
"It seems Dantong hasn’t been idle these days. If I recall correctly, such a situation has never occurred before." An Immortal Envoy remarked lightly.
Xu Ming heard this and couldn’t help but murmur inwardly, you’ve only seen their duels a few times, and yet you say such a situation has never occurred. Isn’t that a joke?!
Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, Xu Ming still said, "Miaohan excels at using hidden weapons, which are most effective when catching others off guard. It’s clear that Dantong knows this, so she consistently engages in close combat."
After a brief pause, Xu Ming continued, "Moreover, looking at it now, even though Miaohan appears to be evenly matched with Dantong, and perhaps even somewhat inferior, it’s evident that Dantong is still influenced by her words. If nothing unexpected happens, the fight should soon conclude!"
Upon hearing this, all the Immortal Envoys nodded in agreement. Regardless of what they thought inwardly, Xu Ming, as the teacher of both competitors on the stage, undeniably has significant authority in evaluating them!
Yet, after this battle, regardless of who wins or loses, it is believed that no one will underestimate Sun Miaohan and Ji Dantong ever again, especially the latter.
When someone who has long been suppressed by their opponent suddenly displays strength on par with their opponent, the effect is often more explosive than the one who has been consistently dominant!
Not long after, Xu Ming once again demonstrated her competence as a teacher. Just as she had said, Ji Dantong soon couldn’t suppress the anger within her heart and unleashed a long-held forceful strike.
As Ji Dantong stood on the stage amidst Sun Miaohan’s lively tirade, she suddenly let out a fierce shout and then gripped her sword hilt with both hands, swinging it with a speed so fast it left onlookers astonished.
A hint of solemnity briefly flashed across Sun Miaohan’s brows. She realized it was unavoidable and quickly stepped forward, arms crossed in an X-shape over her chest.
The new disciples watching couldn’t help but gape in surprise at Sun Miaohan’s actions, considering rushing forward at this moment akin to suicide.
However, those with slightly better perception would understand that Sun Miaohan was indeed correct in her actions. In situations where dodging wasn’t an option, standing still would play right into Ji Dantong’s hands.
Contrary to retreating, Sun Miaohan advanced, seemingly in panic, yet in truth, she minimized the damage to the lowest extent.
The reason was quite simple: Ji Dantong’s attack method was a swing, not a straightforward thrust.
In the midst of thinking, the Divine Weapon enhanced by Proud Snow Evil Shadow Bamboo appeared in her hands, creating a visual effect of numerous long swords swinging with Ji Dantong’s arm, appearing fiercely imposing!
Almost simultaneously, Sun Miaohan successfully completed her maneuver, swiftly closing in on Ji Dantong.
"Boom!"
After a dull thud, the two figures scattered and retreated, though Ji Dantong’s steps, while rapid and dense, seemed orderly, while Sun Miaohan’s appeared chaotic and unsteady.
In one strike, the outcome was unmistakable!
By this point, the disciples watching hadn’t even realized what had just happened, and even those few who discerned its intricacies furrowed their brows, starting to ask themselves, if they were in this situation, how would they perform?!
The answer was clear: no matter who stepped forward, under identical circumstances, none would dare say Sun Miaohan’s performance was inferior to theirs!
The earlier loud boom resulted from Ji Dantong’s sword hilt colliding with Sun Miaohan’s, without the sword’s tip or blade making any impact.
Nonetheless, Ji Dantong didn’t lose heart, for a perfect opportunity lay ahead.
Since this was a stage bout and not a fatal duel, certain rules applied. If she seized the moment and knocked Sun Miaohan off the stage, Ji Dantong would be declared victorious!
At this moment, Ji Dantong’s intention was clear.
So, after neutralizing the counter-force, Ji Dantong immediately turned back, her hands enveloped in surging True Qi, ready for a palm strike on Sun Miaohan, ensuring victory would be hers.
Ji Dantong charged forth like an arrow, envisioning victory beckoning her, especially when she saw Sun Miaohan’s extremely unpleasant expression, feeling a joy she hadn’t felt in ages.
However, in the next moment, Sun Miaohan suddenly withdrew all defenses, closing her enchanting eyes, displaying a posture of surrender.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ji Dantong’s delicate brows slightly furrowed. Given her understanding of Sun Miaohan, she knew the latter wasn’t one to give up in the face of defeat. This pose clearly indicated another scheme.
"Bang! Bang!"
With two soft thuds, Sun Miaohan couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan, her steps involuntarily retreating towards the edge of the stage, leaving only five meters.
"Are you trying to make my victory less sweet?"
After sealing Sun Miaohan’s True Qi, Ji Dantong faced her, holding the sword upside down, and sternly questioned.
Sun Miaohan opened her eyes to the sound, displaying a deep affection that sent chills through Ji Dantong and the audience below.
"Junior sister, you haven’t disappointed me!" Sun Miaohan’s gaze was genuine as she spoke; "It seems you ultimately couldn’t bring yourself to strike your senior sister."
Upon hearing this, the audience below grimaced, feeling their skin crawl, while only a few gossipy disciples displayed fiery interest with flushed excitement.
Ji Dantong’s expression remained cold, unmoved, and she said indifferently, "If you can’t answer my question, then let’s end this here!"
Thus she circulated True Qi, appearing ready to push Sun Miaohan off the stage at any moment, the steadiness visible from her demeanor indicating she was firm as a rock, unmoved.
Seeing this, Sun Miaohan merely smiled slightly, her expression growing quite complex.
After a brief silence, Sun Miaohan sighed and murmured, "Dantong, you think I remember our every duel clearly just to mock and belittle you, but you truly are mistaken!"
Ji Dantong’s face became stern, allowing Sun Miaohan to continue speaking uninterrupted.
