The armoured maiden was confused as to why Ming Suwen was confused. Her frigid internal energy could potentially seal meridians upon contact, so Ming Suwen, who didnt specialise in pure yang disciplines and paled in comparison when it came to internal energy potency, was at a serious disadvantage. If Ming Suwen was to have a chance, a direct confrontation was the worst strategy.

Demon Realms Battle God had an impressive win streak under her belt, but it was no walk in the park to dismantle Ming Suwens strikes without countering. The feeling was mutual. Even though Ming Suwen witnessed the armoured maiden defeat Mount Daluos disciples upon contact, Ming Suwen didnt expect so much of a challenge.

“Your style is bizarre. You lack any concept of technique.” Ming Suwen showed no signs of concern; if somebody wasnt informed, they think the two were just having a friendly sparring match.

Ming Suwens opponent defused all of her attacks with her bare hands, but she never countered once in Ming Suwens seventy-six executed moves. When Ming Suwen punched, the armoured maiden blocked with a punch. When Ming Suwen palmed, the armoured maiden denied the former with her palm. Every movement was spontaneous. Had it not been for the risk of drawing a nearby Divine Realm adepts attention to their location, the armoured maiden couldve squashed Ming Suwen using Enlightenment without needing to go through so many exchanges.

“You… used Moon Weaver Palms to mitigate my force, didnt you”

A smile bloomed on Ming Suwens lips. “I like the discipline. Its non-lethal, and the name sounds nice. You want to know the story behind the discipline”

“… I dont like martial arts.”

“But you have to learn.”

The armoured maiden studied Ming Suwen with her eyes in detail for the first time - as if she was re-evaluating her perception of Ming Suwen. “Moon Weaver Palms is one of Mount Daluos advanced disciplines. In saying that, unless its Empty Palms that the youth in white used, theres no way to neutralise my force.”

She chose Lian Zhuiyue as her first opponent and almost used her full power right from the get-go, saving 20% of her remaining power for the others, yet she failed to take Lian Zhuiyue down because he countered using Empty Palms.

Ming Suwen could supposedly see her opponent wondering how she was so adept at Moon Weaver Palms despite her age. “Dont think too hard. For instance…” Ming Suwens voice doubled up as another spitting image of herself emerged from thin air.

“… Shadow Clone.”

Given Shadow Clones difficulty among even qinggong specialist, rarely did anyone ever see the skill in the flesh.

“I almost always hear people claiming the limit of Shadow Clone is halving yourself, but is it really true” The two Ming Suwens smiled and rhetorically spoke in unison, and every word that came out of her mouth would spawn more clones.

Regardless of how she looked, the armoured maiden couldnt identify the real Ming Suwen from the twenty-six of them.

“Techniques are a reflection of character. My choice of techniques matches my character. Youre no exception,” Ming Suwen asserted.

“You… and I are alike”

“Not too different, I reckon.”

The armoured maiden mused for a while, then loosened her fists. “Its my loss.”

Lian Zhuiyue couldnt make any sense of the situation. Clearly, Ming Suwen was on course to losing.

“My nephew looks dissatisfied. Mind enlightening him”

“Youre more skilled than I predicted. I cant hurt you in twenty-four exchanges.”

“Defeating twenty-six people in twenty-four exchanges certainly is difficult.”

Ming Suwens opponent picked up a tree branch. “Not necessarily.” She created a trail of frames in the air from a whip, erasing several of Ming Suwens clones. “Its not that I cant beat you but that I cant kill you.”

Despite feeling the heat of burning trees behind her, Ming Suwen didnt bat an eye. “Doesnt seem like you have any method of dismantling the formation. Id rather die than leave. In a little while, hell be here. You sure you can win”

The armoured maiden used her preferred answer once again - silence.

“Hehe, since I cant beat you, and you wont kill me, how about we end this skirmish here Try again when you have a new strategy”

“… Seems to be my only option.”

Whatever strategy she came back with, the maiden needed to bear in mind that Ming Suwen had been selling bluffs all her life.

“By the way, seeing as you surrendered, I have a question for you.”

The maiden stopped in her tracks, but she didnt turn back.

“Are you Xue”

The maiden turned around, unable to follow, while Ming Suwen was uncharacteristically serious.

“… Forget it. Pretend I never asked. You cant be her; your age, appearance and fighting style dont match. If you were her, Id be able to tell at first glance.”

“Youre… searching for one of us.”

“Not me, but my… my man is looking for her.”

The maiden in armour repeated the name in her mind several times, then shook her head. “I dont recognise anyone by that name.”

As the maiden flew off, Ming Suwen cupped her mouth. “Hey, whats your name We can get to know each other, cant we”

“… I have no name. People just call me Shadow Lady.”

“Hurry! Hurry, imbecile! Did he not feed you or something!” Gewu wouldnt stop badgering the white python even though he could see trees collapsing as they passed by.

Gewus pursuer decided the distance was perfect, so he accelerated straight past and violently parked on the white pythons head, fixing its head to the ground in addition to gusting up a sandstorm.

Flashing a corner of his white pearls, Gewus pursuer glued the white pythons head to the ground with one hand. “Where you off to, bug”-
