Chapter 11 Abandoning Armor
"Slow down?" Wei Li met Jiang Xuan's gaze as they faced off with sword and spear: "Brother Jiang, aren't you being a little too arrogant?"

Wei Li held the sword with both hands and exerted a little force, pressing the sword against the spear. Then he jumped back, separating the sword and spear, and distanced himself from Jiang Xuan.

At the moment of leaping back, Wei Li realized that his opponent was not the swordsman or swordsman he usually encountered. He increased the strength of his leap, but his landing was unstable.

Wei Li turned around and easily relieved the unbalanced force, stood firmly on his feet, and held the long sword horizontally in the air.

He wiped the sword lightly with two fingers and looked at Jiang Xuan who was standing calmly with a gun in hand a few feet away.

Wei Li understood that the testing between the two was over and the real competition had just begun.

A young man with a somewhat ruffian air walked out of the shop opposite Yuji Clothing Store. He was initially uninterested, but upon seeing the scene between Jiang Xuan and the other man, he immediately became more excited and kicked a young man squatting beside him: "Little beggar, what's going on?"

The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing patched clothes, and his face was covered with a layer of charcoal soot, making it difficult to see his features.

"Mr. Beggar, I know the whole story clearly, but why should I tell you?" the young man scolded.

The ruffian young man waved his hand in the direction of his shop door, and a servant came out and handed him a paper bag with the word "candied fruit" written on it.

The ruffian asked again, "Who is this boy with the spear?"

"He's the thug hired by Mr. Yu from the clothing store."

"I didn't realize it! Old Yu is usually so kind and amiable, but I didn't expect him to dare to do this to Wei Li!"

"Whoosh!"

Wei Li swung his sword, stepped out, and headed straight for Jiang Xuan.

At the moment when the long sword was only a few feet away from Jiang Xuan, Wei Li turned his wrist, and the long sword suddenly changed direction, from stabbing to slashing, and the speed of the sword increased a few points, flying towards Jiang Xuan at a rapid speed.

Wei Li's sudden increase in sword speed was somewhat beyond Jiang Xuan's expectations, and Jiang Xuan immediately gave up the idea of ​​sparring with Wei Li.

After just one round of fighting, the speed Wei Li displayed was obviously faster than the thin man he had fought before, and even slightly faster than the thin man's speed after using the Chi Tan sword technique.

While Jiang Xuan was thinking, he knew that he could not easily avoid Wei Li's slash, so he had to use the method of dodging the Three-Ring Dragon Arrow. He used his spear to push the sword away and dodged sideways at the same time, barely avoiding Wei Li's attack!
At the same time, Jiang Xuan's quick reaction speed was beyond Wei Li's expectations.

In Wei Li's memory, the young man with two guns in front of him was the only warrior of the same level who could dodge this attack!
Not only that, the fighting style Jiang Xuan displayed in the battle was completely different from all the warriors he had seen before!
As a disciple sent away from the government martial arts school, Wei Li had seen many martial artists, many of whom were very talented, but none of them had moves similar to the young man in front of him.

Needless to say, in terms of talent, he had never seen anyone reach the third level of the Heavenly Stage at such a young age.

As a result, Wei Li felt that he had underestimated the enemy.

However, even so, Wei Li did not think Jiang Xuan had any chance of winning.

In Wei Li's calculations, even if his speed, which he was most proud of, could no longer provide an overwhelming advantage against Jiang Xuan, when the two had similar speeds, the gap between the third and fifth levels of the Heavenly Stage would be extremely obvious.

After his attack was dodged, Wei Li decided to adjust his strategy.

Since speed wasn't an advantage, they simply abandoned the idea of ​​a quick victory and instead used the difference in strength between them to wear down Jiang Xuan. "I thought Captain Wei, being older, would have some special skills. It seems there's nothing new here. Next, it's my turn!"

Jiang Xuan realized that if he blindly and passively defended against the extremely fast Wei Li, firstly, he would be at risk of injury, and secondly, the battle would be dragged into a war of attrition, thus exposing his weakness of being two levels lower than Wei Li.

In this case, it is better to take the initiative and end the battle quickly.

Wei Li pulled away slightly, raised his sword, and turned his body slightly. The sword came slashing towards Jiang Xuan with a burst of energy...

One hit, two hits.

The next moment, Wei Li took a step forward, retreated two steps, and at the same time made a third slashing posture similar to the previous two strikes.

Wei Li's attack was extremely fast, much faster than the previous one, and far exceeded the speed of the thin man after he used the Chi Tan sword technique.

But Wei Li's attack was two body lengths away from Jiang Xuan. Although it was extremely fast, it was difficult to hurt Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan was momentarily confused about Wei Li's intentions.

Just as Jiang Xuan was puzzled, the long sword in Wei Li's hand did not complete the entire swinging action, and unexpectedly slipped out of Wei Li's hand!

"Oh no!" Jiang Xuan shouted in his heart that something was wrong!
The long sword flew out of his hand and instantly flew closer to a body length, with the tip of the sword aimed at Jiang Xuan's chest!
Jiang Xuan was staring blankly at the smug expression on Wei Li's face as he retreated, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.

In a panic, Jiang Xuan actually threw away his spear and tried to turn around to avoid the long sword that was flying towards him at a very fast speed!
Jiang Xuan, who had been attacking and defending calmly in this battle and even had the upper hand at certain moments, was actually beaten to the point of throwing away his weapons?
This greatly shocked the crowd watching, and even Wei Li, who was already in a state of complacency, was surprised!
The scene that appeared the next moment once again deeply shocked everyone present - Jiang Xuan actually held Wei Li's sword firmly in his own hand!
"Captain Wei, you've made me lose confidence in my speed." Jiang Xuan casually threw the long sword in his hand, and the long sword landed lightly at the feet of the burly man who was beaten, and the entire part below the hilt sank into the ground.

"Jiang boy, come on!" the little beggar squatting on the side shouted.

The little beggar's loud shout seemed so abrupt in the crowd.

This loud shout disturbed the atmosphere of the competition. The onlookers cursed a few times and then turned their attention to the competition between Jiang Xuan and Wei Li.

"Aren't you afraid that Wei Li will come after you in the future?" The ruffian young man teased the little beggar in a deep voice.

"What are you afraid of? I wish this kid surnamed Jiang would kill this scum today. If this guy surnamed Jiang can't kill him, one day I will kill this guy Wei Li with my own hands." There was a hint of ruthlessness in the little beggar's eyes.

The ruffian young man pouted, rolled his eyes, and looked disgusted.

Seeing that his sword was casually thrown aside by Jiang Xuan, Wei Li immediately became furious. He himself did not expect that he would be forced into such a situation by a young boy of sixteen or seventeen years old who was two levels lower in strength than him.

At this time, Wei Li was extremely angry. He attacked Jiang Xuan with his bare hands, regardless of the consequences.

At this time, Jiang Xuan took off his spear, just like he had taken off a huge rock on his shoulders. He moved at an extremely fast speed and his figure was like a shadow.

Jiang Xuan raised his right elbow and thrust his forearm directly into Wei Li's chest, knocking him down with one blow. He said indifferently to Wei Li, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, "Captain Wei, you lose."

Wei Li, lying on the ground, turned his head and accepted the failure.
