Provoking

Mo Qingkuang's words made Han Yan'er blush. Luckily, her face was covered by her veil. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed by this kid's teasing.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Have they seen his power?

No matter what angle they heard it, it sounded so suspicious! Could it be that there was some unspeakable complicated romantic relationship between the two of them?

Li Ang, in particular, wished that his eyes would pop out and tear Kuang Qing into pieces!

Mo Qingkuang was thick-skinned. He had done this kind of thing many times in the past.

Han Yan'er glared fiercely at Mo Qingkuang, "Hmph, if you want to fight, then fight. I don't care! If you break something, you have to compensate according to the price."

Listening to her cold and arrogant words, Li Ang quietly put down his lecherous heart, the heart that coveted the beautiful flower. The Ninth Princess was born into the royal family and had a strict upbringing. She hated lechers the most.

It looked like Kuang Qing wasn't much of a match for him, so he would just let this go.

"Don't worry. If there's any damage, I'm willing to pay for it myself." Li Ang smiled like a gentleman.

Han Yan'er ignored him and glared at Mo Qingkuang before walking away.

"Young Master Kuang, can we start now?" Li Ang looked at Mo Qingkuang as if victory was already in his grasp.

The two of them got into position and stood in the middle of the hall. The sudden storm was finally about to begin.

It was the battle for the top martial prodigies, and also the duel between the Ninth Princess' suitors!

"I, Li Ang, entered the ranks at the age of seven and became a Martial Master at the age of sixteen. I am now a peak first-grade Martial Master." Li Ang stood proudly.

"What a genius. A peak First-Grade Martial Master is only a step away from a second-grade Martial Master. I wonder if Kuang Qing can beat him." Someone exclaimed.

In fact, in the Everfrozen Continent, the martial stage was the most important stage. The cultivation of a martial's body was like the foundation of a tall building. Under the condition that one's talent reaches the standard, the stronger the foundation of the martial realm, the greater the possibility of entering a higher level.

Therefore, the cultivators in the Everfrozen Continent usually needed to train for more than ten years or even longer in that stage.

However, the increase in his realm in the future would become faster and faster.

Some of Kuang Qing's supporters said, "Kuang Qing is someone who can play with a grade two Martial Master. Why does a Peak grade one matter?"

Li Ang's attendant was immediately upset when he heard that, and retorted loudly, "That might not be the case. My young master can also defeat a second-grade Martial Master. Moreover, even though Kuang Qing played with him, he didn't hurt Song Qian. My young master defeated a second-grade Martial Master fair and square!"

"Hua…"

"It turns out that Young Master Li is able to defeat a second-grade Martial Master. I'm afraid that Young Master Kuang won't be able to fight him. Young Master Li's ranking on the Young Qilin Rank might be quite high."

…

Li Ang's boasting and his subordinates' support were part of Li Ang's plan to intimidate Kuang Qing.

But Mo Qingkuang only scoffed at him, "Stop nagging. I'm in a hurry." He said indifferently.

The proud smile on Li Ang's face gradually stiffened as he sneered, "Let's see if you can still be stubborn later!"

He took out a silver soft sword from his belt. The blade of the sword had a sharp green glow. It looked like a python trying to find its tongue. It swayed in the air and was aimed towards Mo Qingkuang.

Mo Qingkuang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the flexible sword that was swaying in the air and attacked him from a tricky angle, 'Is that sword imbued with wind attribute? But his speed was average and it seemed like his movement was pure, no attributes were used.' 

Han Yan'er, who was watching from the side, was also secretly worried for him.

Although Li Ang was not worthy of her attention, he was still very strong. He had wind attributes and walked the path of pure offense. He gave up part of his speed advantage and used the crafty and strange flexible sword to make up for it.

If one was not particularly familiar with the flexible sword, even if their cultivation was higher than Li Ang's, they would probably suffer a great loss.

From what she remembered, Mo Qingkuang had never used any offensive techniques. When he had been pestering Song Qian that day, he had only used dirty tricks. He had used his speed to gain an undefeatable advantage over the slow and heavy Song Qian.

Although Li Ang was still at peak first grade, he also had Wind Attribute and was not slow. In comparison, he was even more difficult to deal with than Song Qian.

Like a spark, the soft sword was aimed at Mo Qingkuang's chest.

Li Ang still kept a hand on his chest and did not move it towards his heart. Instead, he deliberately moved it a few inches. The most that could happen was for him to get injured. He would recover after a period of recuperation, but it would not be fatal.

He also knew what would happen to Tianxuan if he killed Kuang Qing.

Regardless of right or wrong, if the label of being jealous of talents was to be placed on the head of the Central Plains, who would dare to serve the Imperial Clan?

'I have already shown mercy. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for provoking someone you shouldn't have.' Li Ang sneered in his heart as if he could already see Mo Qingkuang groaning in pain in a pool of blood and Han Yan'er being stunned by his superb strength.

However, Mo Qingkuang moved. His figure flashed, and just as the sword edge was about to pierce through his clothes, he suddenly disappeared.

Mo Qingkuang appeared behind Li Ang in a flash, stepping on the green light.

BANG! 

Li Ang's head exploded in pain.

Li Ang exclaimed and stopped moving after being hit. He covered his head and grimaced.

"Pfft…" Han Yan'er could not help but laugh when she saw Li Ang's comical appearance.

Kuang Qing was as fast as ever, and his methods were as disgusting as ever.

Everyone was also stunned. They had heard that Kuang Qing was extremely fast, but they didn't expect him to be this fast!

The tip of the sword was only an inch away from piercing his chest, but in the blink of an eye, he had escaped and had even given Li Ang a blow to the head.

He was indeed as the rumors said, despicable.

"Are you looking for death?" Li Ang roared angrily. The humiliation that seeped into his heart was far more painful than the superficial blow.

'I was kind enough not to take your life, but you actually dared to tease me! Do you really think I'm trash like Song Qian?'

"Fine, Kuang Qing, you forced me to do this!" Li Ang's eyes were red and his body was in a state of chaos.

Mo Qingkuang looked at him innocently, "Weren't you the one who kept forcing me to fight with you? If it wasn't my hand but a dagger, you would have died."

Everyone was stunned. He was right! Kuang Qing had successfully attacked Li Ang's head. If he had wanted to kill him, he would have stabbed him with a dagger and Li Ang would have died on the spot.

Li Ang was so embarrassed and angry as he shouted, "What dagger? You're playing tricks. You don't have any attack at all! If you have the guts, get into a stance and fight with me!"

He was not a fool. If Mo Qingkuang had really used a dagger, even without his True Qi, it would have been easy for him to slice his head open.

However, of course, he couldn't admit that he had agreed with him in his own thoughts. He knew that Kuang Qing didn't have any offensive moves. The mistake made him even more certain that Kuang Qing didn't have any offensive means to hurt him.

Even if he obtained the book, Flower-Pinching Treasured Mirror, he probably wouldn't be able to cultivate it in just a few days.

Kuang Qing's speed was truly astonishing. If he could provoke him to fight head-on, he would have the advantage.

Han Yan'er stood up and said unhappily, "Kuang Qing's movement technique is his forte. Why should he give up his speed to fight you head-on? Kuang Qing, don't give in to his demands."

"That's right, Kuang Qing must have specialized in speed, so he probably wouldn't be a match for Young Master Li." There were also people on Mo Qingkuang's side who spoke up.

Unexpectedly, Mo Qingkuang did not provoke Li Ang by agreeing with his supporters. Instead, he disagreed with them, "Alright, then I'll exchange a move with you!"
