A mysterious realm descends, and I defy fate in comics.

Chapter 249 Do you mind if I help you put it on?

Jiang Xingni then began to take the person in front of him seriously.

Ye Xunnan's physical skills are indeed good, but compared to Jiang Xingni, he can only manage a draw, let alone Song Juexiao.

It can only be described as "good".

Jiang Xingni was indeed distracted just now.

The instant she shot off like an arrow, Jiang Xingni heard the system's voice in his mind.

[Ding dong, the comic has been updated. Note: This update features the main storyline, not just filler chapters like before!]

...The comic has been updated?

At this time?

Why?

The competition isn't even over yet. Jiang Xingni thought that no matter how fast the progress was, she wouldn't get the latest update of the comic until after she and Ye Xunnan finished their fight. But it's already this fast.

Ye Xunnan had already caught this brief moment of distraction, and even wanted to use it as an opportunity to counterattack.

Jiang Xingnian felt the force from the other side suddenly increase.

With a flick of his longsword, Ye Xunnan deflected the dagger in Jiang Xingni's hand, then stepped forward, the longsword grazing Jiang Xingni's cheek.

A strand of hair was sliced ​​across by the blade.

Disconnect.

Then it floated lightly to the ground.

When his strike missed, Ye Xunnan casually changed the direction of the blade and pressed his advantage, preparing to continue by slashing at the back of Jiang Xingni's head.

Jiang Xingni followed her force and lightly bent over.

—It's just a difference of a few seconds.

When Ye Xunnan noticed that she hadn't moved, her first thought was, "Has she been scared out of her wits?" Then, she subconsciously loosened her grip slightly.

Jiang Xingni's movements were perfectly timed; she only began to dodge just as Ye Xunnan's blade was about to touch her hair.

With only a foot's distance between them, Ye Xunnan's swing missed completely.

Song Juexiao, sitting in the audience, kept a close eye on Jiang Xingni's expression.

Although she was well aware of Jiang Xingni's strength and knew that Jiang Xingni couldn't possibly lose to Ye Xunnan, and also knew that Ye Xunnan always knew how to control his strength, unlike others who would fight until blood flew everywhere, it was still impossible for her not to be nervous when she saw Ye Xunnan's blade almost slashing at Jiang Xingni's head.

Song Juexiao breathed a sigh of relief after Jiang Xingni successfully dodged the attack.

Jiang Xingni, who had been leaning forward, twisted her waist limply, and through her long, loose hair, she saw Ye Xunnan's face.

The faint smile that had been on Ye Xunnan's face had vanished, replaced by a solemn expression in his eyes.

In less than a second, Jiang Xingni leaned down and, by lowering his body, got close to Ye Xunnan's side from below!

Ye Xunnan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Ye Xunnan weighed the long sword in her hand, and the position she held it in suddenly changed from the end to the center.

The effective attack range of the longsword is also shortened accordingly.

But when she looked down, she saw Jiang Xingni smiling at her.

"Too slow," Jiang Xingni said silently, lip-reading under Ye Xunnan's eyes.

It was too slow; it wasn't enough to stop Jiang Xingni's actions directly.

It's too slow. Even if the attack range is shortened, it's impossible to continue to cause any damage to Jiang Xingni.

Too slow—

These words, accompanied by Jiang Xingni's voice, echoed repeatedly in Ye Xunnan's mind.

The dagger was aimed straight at Ye Xunnan's chest.

If Ye Xunnan wanted to dodge, she would have to create distance, and at the same time, the position of the long sword she was holding would have to be readjusted.

But if Ye Xunnan doesn't dodge...

The gold in her eyes dimmed slightly, and then Jiang Xing noticed that Ye Xunnan had no intention of dodging at all.

The blade of the dagger pierced through the clothes, penetrated the skin, and embedded itself in the flesh.

Ye Xunnan didn't even utter a single cry of pain; she simply smiled.

Golden light, representing her special ability, overflowed from Ye Xunnan's body and then gathered at the wound on her chest.

Jiang Xingni still had some sense of restraint when he acted.

The dagger avoided the lungs and heart, avoiding any potentially fatal wounds, and instead plunged deep into the gap between the ribs.

Ye Xunnan only felt a slight pain for a moment.

The sharp pain was successfully reduced under the influence of adrenaline, followed by Ye Xunnan's own data-related superpowers.

The pain didn't even have time to intensify before it vanished without a trace.

With the help of his supernatural abilities, the flesh that had grown tightly bound the dagger to his body.

—Alright, now Jiang Xingni's weapon is gone too.

Ye Xunnan gave Jiang Xingni a gentle and graceful smile.

Then, without hesitation, she swung the dagger in her hand and slashed at Jiang Xingni.

Jiang Xingni had never seen such a sight before.

Not everyone has the opportunity to watch as a healer disregards the harm they might suffer, and thus doesn't shy away from their wounds.

It does have some similarities to Jiang Fuyuan's initial fighting style.

Jiang Xingni suddenly remembered.

Faced with the blade that followed closely behind, Jiang Xing narrowed his eyes, then leaped up—lightly tiptoeing over the blade, and in doing so, pulled the dagger out of Ye Xunnan's chest.

Her dress fluttered past Ye Xunnan's cheek.

She lightly flipped over in mid-air.

As she fell, her foot landed directly on Ye Xunnan's wrist, which was holding the knife.

She landed on Ye Xunnan's arm.

Although Jiang Xingni wasn't fat, he had a well-trained physique and possessed a certain weight. When he landed in Ye Xunnan's hand, Ye Xunnan's hand trembled.

She instinctively wanted to shake Jiang Xingni off, but when she came to her senses, she could only feel the chill on the side of her neck.

Jiang Xingni's dagger was already pressed against her neck, drawing a thin line of blood.

Ye Xunnan sighed.

—Of course she could heal such a minor injury directly, but the problem is, it was just a friendly sparring match.

Jiang Xingni has twice proven that she has the ability to kill Ye Xunnan, yet she has never been able to cause any harm to Jiang Xingni.

Ye Xunnan was genuinely unwilling to accept this.

With a flick of her wrist, Jiang Xingni leaped off her arm and landed on the ground.

As Ye Xunnan's blade swept across, Jiang Xingni felt a slight chill on his earlobe.

A very thin wound was cut by the blade, and the skin split open, with blood slowly flowing out from the wound.

Jiang Xingni turned his head in time, avoiding being injured in any vital areas.

She raised her eyes and met Ye Xunnan's eyes, which were hiding a smile.

Then, following Ye Xunnan's movements, my gaze fell upon the blade she had laid flat.

Her earrings rested steadily on the blade, their golden light reflected off the gleaming surface and into Jiang Xingni's eyes.

"Your earrings."

Ye Xunnan smiled.

"I lost, but your earrings do fall off easily during the fight."

She stepped forward, took off Jiang Xingni's earring, and then moved closer to Jiang Xingni.

"Would you mind if I put it on for you?"

She turned her head to meet Jiang Xingni's gaze and asked softly.
