Tang Li Xue swiftly somersaulted backward several times to dodge the simultaneously fierce attacks of Junior Martial Sister Jian and her martial soul: Demonic Flame Leopard.

Tang Li Xue's slender and lithe figure was gracefully moving around so swiftly to dodge the lethal attacks, just like a dancing butterfly that was teasing the people who watched it with its incomparable beauty.

Sometimes she would stop moving and made Junior Martial Sister Jian's sharp Crouching Tiger Claw that empowered by Qi missed by a few centimeters from her face...

Sometimes she would bend her knees and bow down her hack to let the Demonic Flame Leopard's giant flame claw passed above her head...

Tang Li Xue could start her counterattack anytime, but she wanted to use this rare opportunity to customize herself with her several newly upgraded skills.

She also wanted to use this rare opportunity to observe how the human cultivator used their martial arts and Qi to fight while getting herself used to fighting with both the human cultivator and the martial soul.

Previously, she also fought with the skull masked man of the Blood Devil Sect in Quanhai City. But she was in a hurry to stop the blood barrier at that time, and she also did not have her several newly upgraded skills yet, so she could not accurately inspect the skull masked man's martial arts and Qi like now.

With her several upgraded skills combined with her sharp Extrasensory Perception, not only Tang Li Xue could predict all of the next movement of Junior Martial Sister Jian and Demonic Flame Leopard ahead of time but she also could see their every martial art movement and how their Qi works to empowering their martial art prowess.

'So this is how to use Qi and martial arts. Qi cannot be utilized without martial arts. Cultivation technique like my Four Mythical Guardian Beast Art is only the way to cultivate Qi, but I must use learn martial arts to use my Qi properly!' Tang Li Xue gasped in realization.

'Sigh... No wonder my overall stats did not improve that great even after I received so many stats boost from my cultivation. So, I must learn martial art first! All right... at least I know what I need to do right now.' Tang Li Xue said in her mind.

All this time, what Tang Li Xue had done was like storing the powerful legendary sword in the warehouse without having any clue on how to wield it and hoped it would make her stronger somehow.

Meanwhile, Junior Martial Sister Jian and her martial soul: Demonic Flame Leopard, became even more agitated and angrier as their fierce rapid attacks still failed to even graze the hem of Tang Li Xue's clothes after a few minutes had passed.

"Demonic Flame Leopard, assimilate!

" Junior Martial Sister Jian suddenly stopped her assault on Tang Li Xue and shouted out loud to her martial soul.

RRROOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRR~!!!

The Demonic Flame Leopard roared out loud toward the sky to answer its master call, and its two meters tall body immediately turned into a flash of flickering deep crimson flame, then flew toward Junior Martial Sister Jian.

The flash of flickering deep crimson flame enveloped Junior Martial Sister Jian's palms and then turned into a pair of black gloves.

The pair of black gloves that Junior Martial Sister Jian wore in her hands were still covered in the burning hot deep crimson flame.

The temperature of the deep crimson flame was really high, and it was more than enough to even melt the steel in a single touch. So it could be easily imagined what would happen if Junior Martial Sister Jian touched someone while wearing that pair of black gloves.

The other core disciples of Immortal Sword Sect approached Ye Zhen and glanced at him with worried expressions.

One of the core disciples even braved himself and asked Ye Zhen:

"Senior Martial Brother Ye, should we stop this fight right now before it is too late? Junior Martial Sister Jian is really serious right now. It seems she intended to finish off Young Miss Xiao.

"

"That is right. Even though Junior Martial Sister Jian is one of us, but we cannot just let her run so rampant and kill Young Miss Xiao because of her jealousy and anger. Her sinister behavior will ruin our sect's good reputation as one of the five virtuous sects.

" The other core disciple said too.

"All of you, calm down. I know what to do. I will definitely stop their battle if they have gone too far. But as you all can see, neither Young Miss Xiao nor Junior Martial Sister Jian seems does not want to stop fighting each other. If we suddenly jump in to stop them, they may even start to attack us.

" Ye Zhen replied to comfort the other core disciples.

Ye Zhen chuckled and said again:

"But all of you do not need to worry. Young Miss Xiao is not a weak young girl that needs our protection. In fact, she is really strong, and I believe that she surely can defeat Junior Martial Sister Jian if she is fighting seriously. I do not know exactly what she is doing right now, but it seems she wants to use this battle as an opportunity to understand something.

"

After Ye Zhen said that, the other core disciples immediately calmed down. They could see that Tang Li Xue could dodge all the attacks from Junior Martial Sister Jian and Demonic Flame Leopard easily without attacking back at all before, so Tang Li Xue was definitely far from being weak.

However, this time it was different.

Since Junior Martial Sister Jian decided to finish off Tang Li Xue, she would definitely go all out. She would not only use her martial soul assimilation, but she would definitely also use her other ace in the hole.

Just like what Ye Zhen and the other core disciples had predicted, Junior Martial Sister Jian's every movement started to undergo a complete change.

If Junior Martial Sister Jian's previous fierce rapid attacks were like the violent torrent of river water that threatened to forcefully drown her opponent with her attacks, then her current movement was graceful and slow like calm water without any ripple in the lake.

'That is... Tai Chi? No... The movement set is completely different from what I see on TV before. But the concept should not be that different. What is she trying to do now?' Tang Li Xue pondered while kept watching Junior Martial Sister Jian's slow but graceful movements.

'Don't tell me after she failed to touch me with her fierce rapid attacks, she decided to use soft martial arts against me? I know the theory about the softness can beat the hardness or something like that, but can she even touch me with that slow martial art?' Tang Li Xue doubtfully thought.

Tang Li Xue never had any experience in facing this kind of soft and slow martial art, so she did not know the true strength and weakness of it.

'This is interesting! Come on, let's see what you can do to me!' Tang Li Xue thought while she smiled sweetly at Junior Martial Sister Jian as if she was trying to enticing Junior Martial Sister Jian.

Junior Martial Sister Jian's rage was burning even more fiercely when she saw Tang Li Xue's enticing sweet smile.

She felt Tang Li Xue provoking her instead with that enticing smile.

Junior Martial Sister Jian really wanted to tear down Tang Li Xue's face so badly and see if Tang Li Xue could still smile so sweetly like now after she ripped apart Tang Li Xue's face with her Gloves of Demonic Flame.

Nonetheless, Junior Martial Sister Jian still gnashed her teeth to suppress her intense burning rage and successfully maintained her tranquility stance.

Junior Martial Sister Jian suddenly jumped toward Tang Li Xue.

She did not move very fast, but her body's movement was so strange as if her body was weightless and floating on mid-air.

But the expression of Ye Zhen and the other core disciples instantly changed from calm into shock and disbelief when they saw how Junior Martial Sister Jian moved right now.

"Drifting Clouds Palms!

" One of the core disciples shouted in surprise.

"To think Junior Martial Sister Jian could already master Drifting Clouds Palms until this level... So fearsome!

" The other core disciple said while clicked his tongue in awe.

Ye Zhen frowned deeply as he glanced at Tang Li Xue with a worried expression.

Drifting Clouds Palms's strength lied in its unpredictability. It was truly hard to predict, dodge, or block the attacks from Drifting Clouds Palms.

When the opponent thought she would attack, she will back off instead...

When the opponent thought she would attack their head, she will suddenly change the direction and attack their shoulder instead...

Drifting Clouds Palms's weakness only lied in its lack of lethality to finish off her opponent in one decisive move.

To do so, the wielder of Drifting Clouds Palms must target the opponent's most vital point.

But when Drifting Clouds Palms combined with the lethality of Junior Martial Sister Jian's Gloves of Demonic Flame, the strength became too fearsome to imagine...

It would be really hard to avoid or block Junior Martial Sister Jian's attack, but just one touch from her Gloves of Demonic Flame was more than enough to deal a substantial amount of damage to her opponent.

Of course, Tang Li Xue still did not know any about those, so she was still fearlessly facing the approaching Junior Martial Sister Jian without even using her Golden Winged Serpent's Gauntlets.

Junior Martial Sister Jian sneered coldly at Tang Li Xue's ignorance. She did not even bother to hide her intense murderous intent toward Tang Li Xue and screamed:

"You dare to face my Drifting Clouds Palms with empty hands?! Just die, you idiot!

"

Junior Martial Sister Jian's palms movement suddenly turned blurry and created several afterimages.

Even Tang Li Xue with her Accurate Prediction skills suddenly could no longer predict Junior Martial Sister Jian's movements very clearly like before.

But it did not mean Tang Li Xue could not react to Junior Martial Sister Jian's attacks at all...

Her other skills such as Increase Reaction Speed, Razor-Sharp Mind, Intense Focus, Improved Concentration, and so on combined with her powerful passive divine abilities such as Auto Correction and Extrasensory Perception was more than enough to cope with Junior Martial Sister Jian's strange movements.

Tang Li Xue swayed her lithe body to the right and left to dodge Junior Martial Sister Jian's attempt to grab her.

After exchanging moves tens of times, Junior Martial Sister Jian's hands which wore Gloves of Demonic Flame, almost touched Tang Li Xue's lithe body a few times, but Tang Li Xue still managed to avoid it by one or two centimeters.

Strangely, Junior Martial Sister Jian did not panic at all, but she sneered colder instead.

Ye Zhen and Tang Li Xue managed to see Junior Martial Sister Jian's cold sneer, but it was already too late because Junior Martial Sister Jian already changed back her martial technique from Drifting Clouds Palms to Crouching Tiger Claw!

"Young Miss Xiao, watch out!

" Ye Zhen shouted to warn Tang Li Xue, but unfortunately, it was already far too late.

With her fierce Crouching Tiger Claw, Junior Martial Sister Jian finally managed to caught Tang Li Xue off guard and used that chance to grabbed Tang Li Xue's right wrist very tightly with her left hand!

CCCCRRRRRSSSSSSSHHHHHH~!!!

The scorching temperature of Junior Martial Sister Jian's Gloves of Demonic Flame roasted Tang Li Xue's right wrist until it made the horrible sizzling sound.

"Ouch~!!!

" Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth and winced in pain.

She tried to pull her right wrist to release her right hand from Junior Martial Sister Jian's grasp, but Junior Martial Sister Jian grabbed her wrist too tightly and refused to let her go no matter what.

"Hahahahaha~!!! Finally, I caught you~! I would like to see if you can still smile so sweetly like before after I rip your beautiful face apart with my own hand!

" Junior Martial Sister Jian said while laughed out loud maniacally and stretched her right hand to touch Tang Li Xue's face.
