Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Close Call.

"Thousand Wind Slashes!"

Nalan Yanran waved her jade hand, and five tiny sword energies shot out from her five fingers. Under her control, they were like needles and threads, shooting towards Jiang Ping from different directions!

Jiang Ping saw this and quickly stepped back. He swung his hand violently and shot out several Shennong needles from his sleeves, which deflected all the sword energy!

Seeing that Jiang Ping blocked her sword energy so easily, Nalan Yanran frowned, but the movements of herhands did not slow down at all.

"I didn't expect him to be so strong. Looks like I can only use that move!"

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Suddenly the long sword in her hand slowly moved, and a wisp of majestic Dou Qi wrapped around the sword, emitting a dazzling light.

At this moment, the air around seemed to freeze.

"Yanran is... preparing to use Extreme Wind - Sunset!"

Yun Yun saw the Dou Technique that Nalan Yanran was about to perform, and couldn't help but frowned.

Extreme Wind - Sunset is a Top Level Dou Technique belonging to the same category as Extreme Wind - Meteoric Kill. It is extremely powerful and also very difficult to master.

But with Nalan Yanran's current Cultivation Base, it might be difficult for her to perform Sunset.

"I didn't expect Yanran to have learned this technique, and in such a short period of time, she has already broken through to the 5-Star Dou Master. Her progress is so rapid." Yun Leng praised from the side.

...

"This is the rhythm of using an ultimate move."

Jiang Ping also saw that Nalan Yanran was brewing some kind of strong Dou Technique.

If she could use it successfully, the power would definitely be enough to blow up the entire yard.

"No! I must not let her use it!"

After thinking about it, Jiang Ping stepped hard on the ground and rushed towards Nalan Yanran at full speed. At the same time, he threw away the broom in his hand, stretched out a finger, and concentrated the Dou Qi on his finger.

Earth Grade Medium Level Dou Technique – Finger of the Sun!

Seeing Jiang Ping's move, Nalan Yanran also quickly accelerated the concentration of the sword energy in her hand, and stabbed forward.

"Extreme Wind - Sunset!"

The Dou Qi in Nalan Yanran's body was consumed as quickly as running water, condensing into a sword Qi that shone like sunlight.

But at the last moment, the sword energy that had been condensed for more than half suddenly dissipated without any warning at the critical moment!

Nalan Yanran failed to successfully perform Sunset!

However, Jiang Ping's Finger of the Sun was too late to retract and it pointed directly towards Nalan Yanran.

"Not good!"

Yun Yun and Yun Leng were shocked, and they both moved together to stop Jiang Ping.

But they never expected something like this to happen, and by the time they reacted, it was too late. (Bruh…)

They could only watch Jiang Ping's finger pointing towards Nalan Yanran!

"Bang!"

A beam of light only the size of a thumb flashed past Nalan Yanran's ear, cutting off a portion of her black hair.

Boom!

The beam of light hit the ground behind, instantly creating a huge deep pit and directly destroying half of the ground in the yard!

"Huff, huff…"

Jiang Ping was breathing rapidly and his heart was beating as if it was about to jump out.

At the last critical moment, he successfully deflected the target of the attack, allowing the Finger of the Sun to fly past Nalan Yanran's ear without hurting her.

Otherwise, with Nalan Yanran's small body, if she was hit without any defense, she would be crippled if not dead.

At that moment, everyone's heart jumped into their throat.

It was not until Jiang Ping finally managed to deflect the attack and did not hurt Nalan Yanran that they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yanran, are you okay?"

Yun Yun hurried over and looked at Nalan Yanran carefully to make sure she was not injured.

"Teacher, I'm fine." Nalan Yanran shook her head gently, as if she had not yet recovered from the life-threatening situation.

"I'm glad you're okay." Yun Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

For a moment just now, she really thought that Jiang Ping would not be able to stop himself and accidentally hurt Nalan Yanran.

"Junior brother, I lost." Nalan Yanran bit her thin lips, did not dodge, and looked up at Jiang Ping, her eyes revealed determination.

"If you're willing to accept the bet and lose, I can agree to any of your requests."

"This was an accident. If you, Senior Sister, had succeeded in making that last strike, it would be hard to say who would win or lose," Jiang Ping said.

"If I lose, I lose. There is no if. I am willing to accept the defeat. If you have thought of your request, you can come to me anytime." Nalan Yanran said stubbornly before turning around and leaving the yard.

Yun Yun was also helpless about this.

It was indeed a pity that the Extreme Wind - Sunset could not be performed successfully, and with Nalan Yanran's personality, she would probably feel very guilty inside.

"Sect Master, you saw it too. It's not my fault, right?" Jiang Ping was afraid that Yun Yun would blame him, so he hurried to explain.

"It's indeed not your fault. Nalan Yanran was never your opponent. It's a good thing to let her know that there are always people better than her." Yun Yun said.

"Let's leave it at that. I won't ask about the agreement between you two, but you'd better not make any weird requests to Nalan Yanran."

"How did you know...cough, I mean well, I absolutely won't!" Jiang Ping almost said what was in his heart, and quickly changed his words.

After getting Jiang Ping's affirmation, Yun Yun and Yun Leng left.

Only Jiang Ping and a half-destroyed yard were left.

"It seems like this yard... I still have to repair it myself?!"

Jiang Ping suddenly thought of a very cruel fact.

"f**k! If I had known I wouldn't have been so naughty! Why did I have to be so violent!"

He could only cry with no tears!

In the end, Jiang Ping had no choice but to repair the yard himself.

...

In the room.

"Yanran, what are you thinking about?"

When Yun Yun came in, she saw Nalan Yanran sitting on the bed with a dull look in his eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking.

It wasn't until Yun Yun spoke that she reacted.

"Teacher..."

The next moment, Nalan Yanran finally couldn't help it anymore and threw herself on Yun Yun and cried.

"Teacher, am I really useless... I can't even use the Dou Technique."

She felt very wronged.

It was not because she lost to Jiang Ping, but because she failed to successfully perform a Dou Technique at the critical moment.

This was the hardest thing for her to accept.

"How could that be? Sunset is a Profound Grade Top Level Dou Technique. It's normal that you can't perform it with your current strength. When I was cultivating it, I had to wait until I became a Dou Grandmaster to succeed." Yun Yun said as she gently patted Nalan Yanran's back to comfort her.

"But I still lost to Jiang Ping... Do you think I embarrassed you?"

"No, you're already very good. And don't underestimate Jiang Ping. His current Cultivation Base is already Dou Grandmaster. You certainly was no match for him."

"Dou Grandmaster? How is this possible!?" Nalan Yanran looked up in surprise.

"That's right. That's why I told you not to underestimate Jiang Ping, and actually I hope you and Jiang Ping can get along well, learn from each other, and make progress together."

"But, I treated him like this…" Nalan Yanran was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, just take your time. I know Jiang Ping, he will definitely forgive you."

Yun Yun kept comforting her silly disciple.
