Yan Ajiu drew her sword and countered with a stab, but Li Yan was not one to suffer losses easily. He immediately twisted his footwork, bent his elbow, and swayed his body from side to side, evading the "Fire Essence" thrusts in succession, while thrusting his sword hilt forward. Not to mention other skills, but in terms of swordplay, Li Yan had begun to exert his true strength.
This series of movements was too fast for the eye to follow. The exquisite coordination of body movement and sword technique elicited gasps of amazement from the pirates, and even Cai Qian and Zhang He showed looks of astonishment.
An expert could be transformed by various methods and extraordinary weapons, but such seasoned skill in every move and form can only be honed through relentless practice.
"This Tianbao lad still had an ace up his sleeve. No wonder Mrs. Yan was willing to let go of control," someone remarked.
