Ye Qingyu had just suggested sparring with Meng Fan using the Great Annihilation Sword Technique.
Fortunately, it was the Great Annihilation Sword Technique!
If she had removed the words "Great Annihilation," she would undoubtedly start questioning her life choices.
Because even though the Great Annihilation Sword Technique was powerful, any random sword technique Meng Fan pulled out would be stronger!
But if it was just sparring with the Great Annihilation Sword Technique, at least in terms of sword techniques, Ye Qingyu wouldn't suffer too much.
Even so, compared to Meng Fan's deep understanding of the Sword Dao, Ye Qingyu was still far behind.
The only area where she surpassed Meng Fan was in her True Qi cultivation!
However, being in the same Heavenly Origin Realm, it was clearly impossible for Ye Qingyu to suppress Meng Fan with just her True Qi.
If she were in the Condensation Pill Realm, she might have a chance to crush Meng Fan with her overwhelming True Essence.
"Senior Sister, draw your sword!" Meng Fan said to Ye Qingyu.
Although his task was complete after teaching Ye Qingyu the Great Annihilation Sword Technique, it didn't stop him from further guiding her in mastering the Great Annihilation Sword Intent.
If you're going to help someone, help them all the way.
Meng Fan didn't mind letting Ye Qingyu experience the full power of the ultimate Great Annihilation Sword Intent!
After all, she was half his disciple.
Opposite him, Ye Qingyu didn't show any displeasure at Meng Fan's request for her to make the first move.
Even though Meng Fan's cultivation level wasn't as high as hers, his prowess in sword techniques had already convinced her completely over the past few days.
So when Meng Fan asked her to make the first move, she didn't think he was being arrogant.
In fact, she didn't even dare to claim she could defeat Meng Fan, even with her full strength at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm!
Ye Qingyu had always considered herself a genius, but after meeting Meng Fan, she realized what a true genius was.
She felt unworthy of the title of genius.
"Clang—" Ye Qingyu collected her thoughts and drew her longsword.
At the same time, a sword light shot into the sky.
Admittedly, this sword light was more for show, purely for aesthetics, and had no practical use.
Meng Fan smiled; he didn't mind this kind of "aesthetic."
Just like how food is judged first by its appearance, a beautiful sword technique could also captivate people.
This was human nature!
Facing Meng Fan, Ye Qingyu launched a standard attack with the Great Annihilation Sword Technique, combined with the Great Annihilation Sword Intent.
After all, she had just mastered the Great Annihilation Sword Intent, so it was understandable for her to use it this way.
The Great Annihilation Sword Technique, combined with the Great Annihilation Sword Intent and her ninth-level Heavenly Origin cultivation, made Ye Qingyu's strike quite formidable, even among the Heavenly Origin cultivators of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
The reason it was only "quite formidable" was because there were geniuses in the Heavenly Origin Realm who had mastered the Sword Momentum.
Those were the true top-tier talents!
Ye Qingyu was still a bit lacking.
In the past few days, Meng Fan had also taken the time to elevate the Great Annihilation Sword Technique to the level of Sword Momentum.
So Ye Qingyu wanting to spar with Meng Fan in the Great Annihilation Sword Technique was like a child trying to compete with their parent!
How could that even compare?
Facing Ye Qingyu's incoming strike, Meng Fan lightly raised the Hong Qi Sword.
[Great Annihilation Sword Momentum]
In an instant, Ye Qingyu felt an overwhelming pressure coming at her from all directions.
This pressure made it nearly impossible for her to take even a single step forward.
Her entire body froze, and her hand holding the sword began to tremble.
Next, not only could she not advance, but she was also forced to retreat.
Soon, she retreated to the exact spot where she had just drawn her sword.
Her body trembled, and she couldn't help but loosen her grip, causing her longsword to fall to the ground.
Her face was full of bitterness as she shook her head helplessly.
Without shedding a drop of blood!
The gap was too vast; it was a complete and utter defeat.
It was clear that Meng Fan had held back; if he had gone all out, she would be dead.
A second-level Heavenly Origin cultivator could kill a ninth-level one!
What kind of terrifying existence was this?
"Meng Senior Brother is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime genius in the Sword Dao. If I'm not mistaken, you just used Sword Momentum? The Great Annihilation Sword Momentum?"
Previously, Ye Qingyu had always called Meng Fan "Junior Brother," but now she addressed him as "Senior Brother," truly acknowledging that he was stronger than her.
It wasn't just his sword technique that was superior; his overall strength was greater!
"That's right," Meng Fan nodded, not denying it.
For him now, Sword Momentum was no longer a hidden trump card, so there was no need to keep it secret.
"I hope that one day, after I've mastered the Great Annihilation Sword Momentum, I can spar with Meng Senior Brother again," Ye Qingyu said with some anticipation.
"I'm always ready to accompany you, but even if you master the Great Annihilation Sword Momentum, you still won't be my match. By then, I might have already mastered the Sword Soul," Meng Fan said casually.
Any Heavenly Origin cultivator who dared to mention "Sword Soul" would surely be met with Ye Qingyu's ridicule and disdain.
But when Meng Fan said it, she fell silent.
She instinctively wanted to refute, but the words stuck in her throat.
There was no way around it; Meng Fan was just too monstrous in the Sword Dao.
Although Ye Qingyu hadn't known Meng Fan for long, she had already deeply felt this.
In the end, she could only half-jokingly say, "I'm looking forward to that day too!"
Meng Fan chuckled and said, "Senior Sister Ye, since you just lost to me in the sword match, shouldn't you fulfill our bet?"
Bet?
Ye Qingyu was momentarily stunned.
She quickly remembered that she had said, "If you can beat me, I'll call you Master."
A bet was a bet, and she had no hesitation.
Moreover, Meng Fan had wholeheartedly taught her the Great Annihilation Sword Intent these past days, making him half her master.
In a group of three, there's always something to learn from others!
A true master is one who excels!
Calling Meng Fan "Master" wasn't a disgraceful thing.
Thinking this, she looked at Meng Fan and coldly uttered words.
"Master~"
Meng Fan laughed heartily and turned to leave.
What a delight!
If Lin Jian from the Cliff of Remorse were here, he would surely give Meng Fan a thumbs up.
Then he would look at Meng Fan with newfound respect, amazed at finding a kindred spirit.
"Don't forget to come for the elixir tomorrow evening!" Ye Qingyu shouted at Meng Fan's retreating figure.
Meng Fan didn't turn back but waved his hand to show he understood.
How could he forget something like that?
In fact, a complex thought had just crossed Ye Qingyu's mind.
But she was still hesitating and hadn't made a decision.
Because this matter was extremely important to her!
She planned to think it over for another night and decide when Meng Fan came the next day.
