Chapter 51 49. First impression of Fairy Fang Yuan
"Conditions?"
He thought that after knowing the truth, Xu Yuan would not possibly agree, but unexpectedly, he actually did agree in the end.
When Yun heard Xu Yuan say this, a hint of disbelief flashed across her originally dim face.
But she was not a fool, and did not lose her senses over this hard-to-come-by opportunity. Instead, she looked at him cautiously and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"Rest assured, they won't be the kind that will be difficult for you."
Xu Yuan said indifferently.
Yun's eyes flickered slightly: "If the conditions violate morality or harm the natural order, I will not comply."
"Okay."
Liu Ruoxue heard their answers and couldn't help but sigh softly, floating back to stand aside.
In her eyes, the outcome of the battle was already decided.
Yun's response indicated that her Sword Heart had faltered. She didn't have much of a chance to begin with, and now she was even less likely to be Xu Yuan's match.
What truly worried her was whether Xu Yuan would reveal something during this exchange.
"Shall we each step back thirty paces and start on the count of three?"
Yun asked indifferently, her gaze never leaving his eyes, trying to find a clue as to why he was so confident.
"No need."
Xu Yuan smiled casually: "Let's just start like this."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As soon as he said this, not only did Yun and the girls present gasp, but even Liu Ruoxue felt somewhat incredulous.
Starting a duel with the opponent's sword so close to one's forehead, so close it could pierce with little force, even she scarcely had confidence to escape from such a sword.
But he dared to be so confident?
Could it be...
Liu Ruoxue had already thought of the answer, her bright eyes casually scanning the area, and eventually, her gaze rested behind Yun. If it were her, she would choose that spot.
"Arrogance!"
Yun accused sharply.
As Xu Yuan spoke, he surprisingly stepped forward as if to walk right into the blade's edge.
Yun, who had prepared herself to remain unaffected no matter what he said or did, still couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
The next moment, she heard the sound of a sword slicing through the air behind her.
"The Fang Yuan in front of me is fake? How is that possible?"
The person before her felt so real.
While Yun's heart shook with astonishment, she did not panic—instead, she made what she believed to be the right choice: thrusting forward fiercely with her right hand, and with her left leg, gathering Spiritual Power and kicking backward sharply with her Jade Foot sheathed in white socks.
In this way, she did not need to figure out which Fang Yuan was real.
After all, as long as he could not defeat her in one move, he would be considered the loser.
Yun let out a silent sigh of relief, thankful that Fang Yuan was arrogant enough, for otherwise, it wouldn't have been that easy for her to succeed against such supernatural Illusion Technique.
However, the next moment, she heard the sound of a sword tearing through snowy fabric.
At the same time, incredulous exclamations arose from all around.
"Wasn't I supposed to win?"
Yun looked around in confusion, but did not see the victorious scene she had imagined. Even the dozen or so girls who were supposed to be on her side and who had incited discord, were all gaping at her with a very strange look in their eyes.
No, rather than looking at her, it was more accurate to say they were looking at her...
At the same time, the feedback from her right hand and left foot told her that both the figure in front and behind were illusions.
Yun looked down confusedly, following the gaze of the crowd.
Yun's complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, and one hand quickly pulled up her torn garment to cover herself, looking at the girl beside her with closed eyes and a feigned sleep, motionless as if she had never moved, her expression a mix of shame and anger.
At that moment, a Blood Bead slowly dripped down her sword's edge, falling to the ground, and blooming into a bright red plum blossom.
"You?!"
Yun's impression of him plummeted in an instant, but in the eyes of the other Sword Sect girls, Xu Yuan now exuded a unique masterful aura, reminiscent of Liu Ruoxue with sword in hand, beautiful and aloof, and it even seemed as though there was a sense of matching her in status.
Snowflakes, drifting down from nowhere, landed on Xu Yuan's brows and eyes, as if veiling her with a layer of mystery, making her appear even more ethereal and detached in everyone's eyes, surrounded by an aura of Immortal Qi.
"Fang Yuan, she... looks like a fairy."
In a daze, someone bewildered by the sudden light snow murmured.
