After the Madman Zhou and Zhou Nian left, Liu Zixuan handed Zhao Yi a cigarette: "Have a smoke to calm down, this is your first actual combat since becoming an expert!"

Zhao Yi took the cigarette and puffed twice, wrinkling his brow: "Zixuan, do you think I'm capable?"

"A man should never say he's not capable!"

Zhao Yi pursed his lips: "But I've been watching for quite a while, and it seems I can only beat Luo Yichuan, not the others!"

"Don't worry, I'll give you a bit of confidence in a moment!" Liu Zixuan said with a meaningful smile.

As they chatted, they looked over to the other side, where Luo Yichuan and Old Mei's fight was nearing its end.

Though both were sly foxes, this young fox was ultimately no match for the old fox. At this moment, Luo Yichuan's left arm was hanging limp like it was dislocated, and there were two overlapping palm prints on his face!

Meanwhile, Old Mei appeared slightly better; aside from his dirty clothes and a few footprints, he wasn't too injured!

Their fight was akin to two street women brawling, considering both were experts in mechanical arrays, their actual fighting skills were quite poor!

On the other side, however, Nan Hetian and the old man were the exact opposite. Both of their clothes were torn, revealing several ghastly wounds and bloodstains!

Liu Zixuan laughed: "Nan Hetian should have a high position in the Willow Association."

"I can't discern his strength," Zhao Yi said with a frown.

Liu Zixuan grinned: "You are at the peak of the Celestial Realm, whereas he is already at the King Realm Middle Stage, so naturally, you can't see through him."

"Then judging by their fight, that old man's strength should also be equally matched?"

"No, that old man is at the Peak of King Realm!" Liu Zixuan said seriously: "In terms of realm alone, Nan Hetian can't beat the old man, but it's clear he has the upper hand. I bet Nan Hetian's cultivation technique is unique, and his daggers are not simple!"

"But even so, with a unique cultivation technique and special daggers, facing an old man whose realm is a bit higher and wielding the Nameless Sword, how can he win?" Zhao Yi asked puzzled.

Liu Zixuan exhaled smoke and laughed: "That's because the old man can't truly wield the Nameless Sword!"

"The Nameless Sword's previous owner said only those who can wield it can unleash its true power. In the old man's hands now, the Nameless Sword is just scrap metal; instead of helping him, it lowers his combat strength!"

Hearing Liu Zixuan's words, Zhao Yi became increasingly impressed. Liu Zixuan knew so much about cultivation techniques and could grasp various strategies precisely. In Zhao Yi's knowledge, only Liu Zixuan could do this!

"Alright, it's about time for us to take the stage!"

With that, Liu Zixuan led Zhao Yi directly toward the fighting pair! Their appearance made Old Mei and Luo Yichuan stop fighting, with one leaning on a wheelchair panting and the other lying on the ground, bruised and looking quite miserable.

Liu Zixuan mocked with a smile: "Your fight was so spectacular, watching it for free was indeed a treat! I'd love to watch a bit more, but I'm a bit sleepy. How about you two keep fighting, and I'll leave with the Nameless Sword?"

"Liu Zixuan, you're playing a fine game! Stirring us up and then reaping the benefits like a fisherman?" Nan Hetian shouted while defending himself.

Liu Zixuan shrugged: "My contribution is minimal. Most importantly, it's your cooperation. If you hadn't followed the script I set, I wouldn't have been able to reap the benefits, would I?"

"Hahaha." The old man suddenly laughed maniacally: "Hear that, Nan Hetian? You were scheming; I was scheming. In the end, we schemers were all out-schemed by Liu Zixuan, this young kid."

"Old bastard!" Nan Hetian snorted coldly: "Liu Zixuan, I advise you not to go too far. You should know why the Willow Association is here this time. Out of respect for the young lady, I don't want to become your enemy. But if you ruin Willow Association's plans..."

Before Nan Hetian could finish, Liu Zixuan interrupted him: "Enough, don't babble on, speaking as if Willow Association is invincible. Let me be clear, this Nameless Sword has caught my eye, so it's mine!"

Liu Zixuan spoke as he suddenly raised his head, with a sharp look in his eyes, and said word by word: "That's it, no further reason needed!"

"Arrogant!"

"If I'm not arrogant, then would I still be Liu Zixuan!"

Liu Zixuan shouted: "Zhao Yi, take on that old man. Let me experience how strong the Willow Association experts really are!"

Zhao Yi paused, and with an odd expression, looked at Liu Zixuan. The intention was clear: Zixuan, you're picking a fight; I'm at the peak of Celestial Realm, and he's at the Peak of King Realm, how can I fight?

Liu Zixuan grinned, about to speak, when suddenly, two dazzling lights flashed from the entrance.

"I always have great synergy with my dear wife!"

When Liu Ruyan came out carrying a large box, Liu Zixuan handed Zhao Yi the sword he got from the Seven-Star Tomb.

He whispered: "The old man has an old wound under his left rib, use the flexibility of the Celestial Spirit Saber Technique to get close to him, then use its aggressive power to pierce his old wound. You don't need to defeat him, just hold on for three minutes!"

"Three minutes?!" Zhao Yi was stunned: "You want to defeat Nan Hetian within three minutes?"

"What? Think I can't do it?"

"It's not that I doubt you, Zixuan, but honestly, it's tough. Nan Hetian can overpower the old man with ease, you..."

Before Zhao Yi could finish, Liu Zixuan patted his shoulder: "I'll show you something today!"

With that, Liu Zixuan winked at Liu Ruyan twice: "Dear, watch me put on a show!"

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him without a word. In this situation, even joking around – nobody's quite like him!

Nan Hetian gave Liu Ruyan a strange look before saying to Liu Zixuan: "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"Come, I, Liu Zixuan, seek nothing less than death!" Liu Zixuan laughed valiantly, drawing the fake Nameless Sword given by Luo Yichuan earlier.

The sword pointed at Nan Hetian! Its sharpness fully displayed!
