Chapter 4687

“Yes, this is my Dragon Slaying Sword.”

Kai smiled calmly, gripping the sword as spiritual energy swirled around him. He stood poised, like a peerless blade on the verge of being unsheathed.

“No wonder you were able to kill Narota. It seems your sword played a major role,” Yun Li remarked. “But the blade in my hand is no ordinary weapon either!”

His spiritual energy surged, and the long sword in his grasp gleamed brilliantly. Flames flickered along its blade, radiating intense heat.

The battle erupted in an instant.

Yun Li’s figure flashed like lightning, transforming into a streak of light as he lunged at Kai. His sword, carrying the force of whistling wind and blazing fire, slashed down fiercely.

Kai shifted lightly, his Dragon Slaying Sword sweeping through the air. The blade’s light twisted like a dragon, effortlessly neutralizing Yun Li’s attack. With a subtle flick of his wrist, he tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, using the rebound force to strike directly at Yun Li’s vital point.

The two clashed in rapid succession. Sword shadows and blade light intertwined, each collision accompanied by a deafening roar. The force of their strikes stirred shockwaves, distorting the very air around them.

Yun Li’s sword strikes were forceful and overwhelming, while Kai’s Dragon Slaying Sword was swift and unpredictable. At times, it surged forward like a soaring azure dragon; at others, it fragmented into a dazzling rain of sword energy.

As the fight raged on, their speed and strength pushed to the limit, each exchange more perilous than the last.

Despite Yun Li’s superior cultivation level, he gradually found himself at a disadvantage. The Dragon Slaying Sword’s sharpness, combined with Kai’s masterful swordsmanship, overwhelmed him.

Finally, after an intense exchange, Yun Li made a slight misstep—just enough for Kai to seize the opportunity.

With snake-like precision, the Dragon Slaying Sword slipped through Yun Li’s defenses at an impossible angle. The tip of the blade barely grazed his shoulder, leaving a faint sword mark before Kai swiftly withdrew.

The battlefield fell silent.

“I lost,” Yun Li admitted, sheathing his sword. He glanced at the mark on his shoulder—not with reluctance, but with a hint of admiration and relief.

Kai smiled slightly, returning his sword to its scabbard. “Thank you for letting me win. Your strength is exceptional. If we hadn’t been holding back, the outcome could’ve gone either way.”

Yun Li chuckled heartily. Taking out 10,000 spirit stones from his storage bag, he tossed them to Kai. “A loss is a loss. Today, you bested me by half a move—these spirit stones are yours.”

Kai caught the storage bag and instantly felt the immense spiritual energy surging within. A wave of excitement welled up in his heart.

I’m rich! Really rich!

10,000 spirit stones! Now, he had the resources to advance his cultivation even further.

Of course, he had intentionally won by only half a move—he didn’t want Yun Li to discern his true strength.

Clang!
At that moment, a crisp shattering sound echoed through the sky. In the next instant, the blade in Yun Li’s hand fractured into several pieces, clattering to the ground.

He was left holding only the hilt, a sight that was undeniably comical.

Yun Li stared at the broken weapon in stunned silence for a long time.

“…Fuck.”

The curse slipped out before he could stop himself.

Kai chuckled. “My apologies—your blade was just too fragile.”

At that moment, Yun Li felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

He had believed Kai had won by only half a move, but now, he realized the gap between them was far wider than he had thought.

Their weapons weren’t even on the same level.

If this had been a true life-and-death battle, he would have already been beheaded.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Yun Li glared at Kai, his frustration evident.

“What do you mean? How did I deceive you?” Kai asked innocently, shrugging.

“We agreed to stop at a certain point! If you injured me, I wouldn’t have given you the spirit stones!” Yun Li protested.

“I didn’t injure you,” Kai replied calmly. “Your weapon just wasn’t strong enough. I never said I couldn’t break your sword.”

Yun Li gritted his teeth, swallowing his anger.

The spirit stones were already in Kai’s hands—arguing now was pointless. Besides, he had never specified anything about weapons in their agreement.
