One Person: Revitalize the Sword Sect, Start with the Sword Challenge of the Ten Lords

The night breeze was cool, the moonlight was dim, and the outline of Longhu Mountain appeared particularly solemn and mysterious in the darkness. On the weed-covered path at the foot of the mountain, two figures hurried past, stirring up gusts of uneasy wind.

Yuan Tao and Han Dan were disheveled and in a state of disarray, clearly having just been through a fierce fight. "Handan, take a breath! We need to find a place to hide first," Yuan Tao said as he looked around and chose a small, secluded hill as a temporary shelter.

Handan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a voice that was a little unbelievable: "Master, are we just going to run away like this? My fellow disciples from Longhu Mountain..."

Yuan Tao interrupted him, his eyes stern. "Fool, only if you survive can you have a chance of revenge. Ye Lin's strength is unfathomable. If we hadn't been clever enough to escape today, I'm afraid we would have died there."

Just as the master and disciple took a moment to catch their breath, a fragrant breeze quietly approached, and Xia He's figure appeared in their sight like a ghost. She was graceful, with a smile on her lips. She seemed careless, but every step she took touched the softest part of people's hearts.

"Yuan Tao, are you fleeing or on vacation?" Xia He opened her red lips slightly, with a hint of teasing in her words.

Yuan Tao frowned slightly. He wasn't surprised by Xia He's appearance; Quan Xing people were always unpredictable. "Xia He, what are you doing here? Longhu Mountain isn't a safe place right now."

Xia He smiled gently, her eyes full of temptation. "Of course I'm here to have fun. I heard that a tough guy has come to Longhu Mountain - Ye Lin. I want to see with my own eyes this person who can change the situation in Longhu Mountain."

Yuan Tao sighed. Knowing Xia He's temperament well, he advised, "Xia He, don't play with fire and get burned. Ye Lin's methods are much more ruthless than you imagine."

Xia He didn't care. She waved her hand and turned away charmingly. "Don't worry, my charm can conquer everything. You and Handan should find a place to hide quickly."

Looking at Xia He's receding figure, Yuan Tao shook his head and muttered to himself, "This woman is going to cause big trouble one day."

Elsewhere, Xia He sauntered over to the open area where Ye Lin, Zhang Lingyu, and Lu Jin were. Under the moonlight, the three figures appeared particularly solemn, and the atmosphere was subtle and tense.

When Xia He stepped into the moonlit open space, her presence seemed to add a strange touch to the tense atmosphere. Shen Chong frowned, took a few steps forward unhappily, and demanded, "Xia He, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay at the foot of the mountain?"

Xia He raised her eyebrows slightly, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she retorted: "Hey, Shen Chong, are you acting as my caretaker? It's not up to you to decide whether I come or not." She deliberately walked around Shen Chong and walked under a towering ancient tree. She found a position with an excellent view, clasped her hands across her chest, and looked at Shen Chong and Gao Ning, as well as Ye Lin, Zhang Lingyu and Lu Jin opposite her leisurely, with a leisurely look as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Forget it, you guys continue, I just came here to watch the fun." There was a hint of laziness in Xia He's tone, but it could not hide her anticipation for the upcoming show.

Shen Chong glanced at Xia He helplessly, then turned his head and stared at Ye Lin and the other two with sharp eyes: "Don't worry about that woman, let's proceed according to the original plan." Gao Ning followed Shen Chong closely, and the two of them stood still, and the aura around them instantly became solemn and murderous.

Under the moonlight, a battle erupted. Shen Chong launched the attack, his figure closing in on Ye Lin like a ghost. His fists roared, each strike carrying the weight of a mountain. Ye Lin responded calmly, his longsword dancing with a gleam of water, deftly and precisely parrying Shen Chong's attacks. Meanwhile, Zhang Lingyu and Lu Jin, not to be outdone, each confronted Gao Ning. The three of them engaged in a fierce, clashing sword battle, their energies surging.

Xia He stood aside, watching the fight with great interest, and occasionally commenting: "Wow, Xiao Linzi's swordsmanship has improved again. It seems that he has put in a lot of effort during this period. As for Brother Lingyu, your thunder method seems to have reached a higher level. Not bad, not bad." Although there was a hint of sarcasm in her words, she could not hide her admiration.

Suddenly, Zhang Lingyu was unable to dodge and was forced to retreat repeatedly by Gao Ning's attack, facing danger. Xia He saw this and frowned slightly, but did not help. She just opened her red lips and whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "Interesting, really interesting."

At this moment, Ye Lin took advantage of Shen Chong's slowdown and suddenly burst out with a burst of sword light. The "Galaxy Dawn" style was aimed directly at Shen Chong's vitals. Shen Chong's expression was stern, and he turned his body quickly, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.

"Xia He, are you not going to intervene?" Lu Jin took the time to ask during the melee. Although his voice was calm, the tension and anticipation in it were self-evident.

Xia He smiled softly and didn't give a direct answer. Instead, she said in a voice that was almost a whisper, "It's not time for them to intervene yet. Let them finish this scene on their own."

As the battle continued, the clash of strength between the two sides became more and more intense. The battlefield under the moonlight was like a flowing painting, full of unknowns and variables.

Shen Chong took a deep breath, and the Qi in his body surged like a tide. The Qi field with a faint blue light quickly spread out, wrapping his entire body like a dazzling sapphire.

He looked at Ye Lin fiercely and said, "Ye Lin, your swordsmanship is indeed amazing, but if you want to defeat me, you have to show your real skills!"

Ye Lin's lips curled up in disdain. "Shen Chong, you're overconfident. Watch out, sword!" Before he finished speaking, the sword tip shone brighter, and the sword energy, like a tornado, rushed towards Shen Chong with overwhelming force. Shen Chong advanced instead, stepping into the Bagua Step, his figure strange and unpredictable. With each step, the surrounding Qi field condensed a little, forcibly blocking the violent sword energy from his body.

On the other side, Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu joined forces to fight against Gao Ning, and the battle between the three was even more intense.

Gao Ning possessed extraordinary skills, and as his hands flew, rays of light attacked the two like chains, attempting to restrain their movements. Lu Jin was calm and steady, and every swing of his palm was accompanied by a roaring sound. The palm power was so strong that it seemed to shake the mountains and rivers.

Zhang Lingyu was light and agile, with a graceful posture. Pure yang fire emanated from his palms, interweaving with Gao Ning's light, forming a battlefield of colorful light and shadow.

"Lu Jin, let's put an end to the years of grudges between you and me today!" Gao Ning gritted his teeth, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

Lu Jin smiled calmly, "Break it up? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Zhang Lingyu, let's go!"

Just as the battle was entering a white-hot stage, Xia He gently waved her folding fan and strolled along the edge of the battlefield. She seemed to be strolling leisurely, but in fact she was always paying attention to the changes in the battle situation.

Her figure stretched out in the moonlight, like a shadow in the night, mysterious and unpredictable.
