"Yanqing naturally wouldn't refuse the invitation for this one-on-one duel."

"He leaped to a higher position, and his seven flying swords unsheathed with a resolute clang, their cold gleam pressing in like a swirling galaxy, attacking from a distance. Even Yunli couldn't help but feel a chill."

"But she was no easy opponent. She usually trained diligently with her grandfather, and having lost a move to a peer upon her arrival at the Xianzhou, she immediately struck back in anger, her sword slash causing the surrounding trees and plants to sway without wind. However, her sword strike was rather straightforward and was quickly dodged by Yanqing's agile movements."

"Yanqing also knew that this girl's sword style was fierce and dared not confront it directly. He continuously manipulated his flying swords to harass her, attempting to use his agility to wear her down until she was exhausted."

"However, Yunli's speed was not slow. Although she couldn't catch him, she stayed very close, nearly hitting him several times with her heavy iron sword. Left with no choice, Yanqing had to step on his flying swords to ascend into the sky. Six flying swords simultaneously attacked her from six different directions, hoping to force her to surrender before she could stabilize her footing."

"Yet, the girl was incredibly stubborn. Not only did she show no intention of retreating, but she also swung her greatsword like the wind, instantly deflecting the flying swords coming from all directions and throwing it at him. Yanqing had never seen such a fierce fighting style that treated a sword as a projectile. He was caught off guard and struck by her greatsword, falling from the sky."

"How can you use a sword like that?" Yanqing couldn't help but ask.

"But Yunli angrily retorted, 'How I use my sword, do I need you to teach me? Is your swordsmanship superior to mine?'"

"Saying that, she pulled out the greatsword embedded in the ground and chopped down at Yanqing. Yanqing, too, was provoked by the girl's temper and immediately activated all his flying swords, attempting to decide the victor with a single move against Yunli. And in that flash of lightning—"

"A cyan figure, like a streak of light through a crack in the sky, appeared without warning between the two forces that were about to collide violently."

"The speed was unbelievably fast, so much so that even an afterimage hadn't fully manifested."

"The newcomer extended both hands, and with a light pinch of two slender fingers, effortlessly clamped onto the spine of Yunli's irresistible greatsword, which carried immense power. The downward chop, capable of splitting mountains and shattering Rocks, vanished instantly as if a mud ox had entered the sea."

"And her other hand, with equal ease, precisely clamped onto the longsword in Yanqing's hand. No matter how much more force the two exerted, both swords remained suspended in mid-air, unmoving."

"You two little ones, you fought well."

—

Baki.

"Clamped, clamped it!"

Retsu Kaioh stared in astonishment at the Foxian woman's effortless movement. Clamping Yunli's mountain-shattering strike was almost like picking up food while eating.

"How is this possible? Could it be... extremely high-purity 'Aiki'?!"

Even Kaku Kaioh might not be able to completely neutralize this immense force. Usually, before activating Aiki, the body must remain absolutely soft, imagining the body as a flowing stream, where any attack against water is helpless. Yet, she took it head-on... How did she do it?

"Idiot." Hanma Yujiro suddenly laughed, revealing his menacing teeth. "That's not Aiki at all. This woman didn't even intend to use 'technique' on these two little brats."

"She isn't bored enough to use techniques on two children. It's simply faster speed and greater strength, nothing else."

Miyamoto Musashi stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Hmm, then could she also clamp my sword with two fingers? That girl's grip strength looks much greater than mine... To break the momentum of two swords in an instant, it's truly breathtaking."

One Piece.

"Mama mama mama! This Foxian is so strong!" Charlotte Linlin licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with excitement at discovering a 'rare species.' She wasn't interested in ordinary Foxian, but such a strong Foxian... this was the first time she'd seen one on the Celestial Screen.

Rocks sat by the bonfire, a dangerous arc curling at the corners of his mouth: "Hoh... she can actually easily block that little girl's attack with just two fingers? From her demeanor, it seems doing something like this is utterly commonplace for her, truly interesting. Is she also a General? No... she seems a bit stronger than Jing Yuan."

Young Whitebeard said from the side, "But I remember Foxian only live for about two hundred years, right? She looks so young, and her combat Talent are very high. She dares to take it head-on without Armament Haki..."

"No." Rocks denied. "Although Xianzhou doesn't have Armament Haki, the moment this woman appeared, the swirling winds around her body blew away all of Yanqing's flying swords. It's likely there's an invisible 'barrier' around her, freely controlled by this Foxian woman."

Kaido nodded thoughtfully: "Controlling wind, huh... no wonder she has such speed. But then again, I doubt even Jing Yuan would dare to take the full force of these two youngsters' attacks bare-handed, would he?"

Whitebeard frowned slightly: "Using the Divine General... he could do it. Does this mean Jing Yuan is one of the weaker Generals in terms of martial prowess?"

—

"The valiant and elegant Foxian woman released their weapons."

"However, one of you only knows how to dodge, thinking your movements are agile; the other relies on brute force, always hoping for a single decisive blow... both your combat and technical skills have flaws."

Yunli looked at her warily: "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm just a patient who came to the Alchemy Commission for medical treatment, a passerby who happened to be on the way." The woman looked up at the ancient sea in the distance. "I originally thought that with the Xianzhou Luofu Wardance about to begin, I'd get to enjoy a feast for the eyes in the arena, but I never expected to witness such a spectacular battle in the Alchemy Commission, a place for healing. There truly are many strange things on the Xianzhou Luofu."

"However, I have a small suggestion: instead of private duels outside, I'd rather see you two young ones take advantage of the Wardance to go to the arena and openly beat each other half to death. That way, all grievances will be settled."

Yanqing was stunned for a moment: "Grievances? You've misunderstood, Yunli and I... we're just sparring."

The woman smiled slightly: "One uses flying swords, the other wields a giant blade. I don't believe there are no grudges between you two."

At this moment, Lingsha had already rushed over from the Alchemy Commission behind them. Seeing that familiar figure, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"Oh my, Lady Feixiao, why are you here? Is the Dragon Girl's consultation over?"

Yunli was still a bit dazed: "Fei...xiao? Could it be that you are the one Grandpa often mentions...?"

"...The General of Sky-Shattering of Xianzhou Yaoqing?"

Feixiao: "It seems I'm quite famous on the Xianzhou Luofu after all."

Lingsha nodded: "Of course, the name 'General of Great Victory' is known to everyone."
