My Martial Arts Can Train Themselves

Chapter 38: Jiang Qing’s Challenge

As expected, the others were watching this scene as though it was the most ordinary thing ever, just like Tian Zhen.

Only Luo Ran was somewhat indignant. In this demon slayer party, it was very likely that he and Ge Zhili would be fighting for the top spot. Right now, he was unable to take the initiative to challenge Ge Zhili. On the contrary, he might even be challenged by others. He was in a passive position.

Luo Ran's gaze shifted to Yang Yi.

Since he could not target Ge Zhili, he could only consider challenging Yang Yi. After all, Yang Yi had the highest points.

Ge Zhili and Li He walked down the stage. Then, Tian Zhen went up the stage.

After a period of rest, he relied on the mystical power of his Thunder Pattern Palm to quickly defeat another group of demonic beasts.

After that, he did not stop and continued to challenge. Only when he was exhausted did he step down from the stage.

He became the second contestant to lose his qualifications after Li He.

The rest of the contestants were surprised by the result for a moment. Then, they realized that Tian Zhen did not intend to compete for the final victory.

"It's up to you now, Junior Brother Yang. I've defeated three Bone Refining demonic beasts and met the requirements set by the elders in my family. I won't be participating any further." Tian Zhen smiled, as if the exhaustion of his physical strength was not as severe as he had imagined.

Yang Yi cupped his fists at him.

He could see the semblance of a top student who was tired of studying in him.

After Tian Zhen, Jiang Qing went up on stage.

She waved her whip and dealt with a Bone Refining demonic beast with lightning speed.

After that, she looked at Yang Yi.

"I want to challenge you," she said clearly and crisply.

Yang Yi looked at this woman who was not much older than himself.

After a moment of thought, he immediately understood the other party's intention.

The next contestant in line was her sister Jiang Hong. If Jiang Qing defeated him and have Jiang Hong challenge herself, Jiang Qing would not have to worry about others snatching her points away.

However, Jiang Hong was only at the Blood Refining stage. Whether she could defeat the Bone Refining demonic beast and meet the conditions to challenge the participants was still up for discussion.

"Although we can wait and see if things will change, we have also missed many opportunities," Song Ping sighed.

"This time, the Black Water gang is absent, and there are two groups of two challenging each other. It's really depressing."

Luo Ran had imagined the worst scenario. Jiang Qing defeated Yang Yi, and then Jiang Hong challenged Jiang Qing to admit defeat. In this way, he could only challenge Song Ping, who was also from the Stone Bear Gang.

"Qixia sect's Yang Yi, please enlighten me."

Yang Yi walked onto the stage and bowed to the other party.

"Anther Gang's Jiang Qing."

Jiang Qing's eyes were filled with heroic spirit, and she asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to use a sword?"

She had heard her sister talking below the stage just now, and had also mistakenly thought that Yang Yi was an expert in using a sword.

"I mainly cultivate fist techniques," Yang Yi said without concealing anything.

"Alright." Jiang Qing nodded and did not say anything else.

She raised her small hand and the bracelet made of metal pieces on her wrist made a clear sound.

Then, a whip flew up and formed a defensive area around her.

"I cultivate the Snake-Swallowing Nine Butterfly Whip of the Anther Gang. Be careful."

Yang Yi did not wield a weapon and his palms were poisoned. That was why Jiang Qing warned him.

Although the outcome of this demon slayer party was crucial, it was not the most important thing for her.

She was different from Luo Ran. She knew that those who could participate in the demon slayer party were definitely disciples who were favored by the sect. There was a high chance that they would break through to the Spiral Force realm in the future. There was no need for them to fight to the death just for a competition.

Of course, she would not deliberately flatter them. There was no need for that, and it was not in her character to do that.

It was fine as long as she was neither servile nor overbearing.

The whip moved rhythmically in the air, just like dancing butterflies.

When Yang Yi wanted to break through, these butterflies immediately turned into poisonous snakes waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Yang Yi had never fought with a martial artist who used weapons, and his expression was solemn.

Just as he was thinking about how to break the stalemate, the whip in Jiang Qing's hand made the first move.

The whistling sound of the wind rang in his ears.

Yang Yi focused his eyes on it, trying to figure out the path of the whip to dodge it.

However, Jiang Qing's whip was really fast. He could not dodge in time, and his arm was hit.

A burning red mark soon appeared.

He quickly retreated.

When he retreated, Jiang Qing advanced.

There was only so much space on the stage, and Yang Yi was soon forced into a dead end.

The whip lashed out again at his lower body.

Yang Yi rolled and circled to the left. His footsteps were fast as he circled closer to Jiang Qing.

The ends of the whips were flexible and varied. The attack range was very far, but the close proximity was a flaw.

Jiang Qing knew this as well. She lashed out a few whips consecutively, not giving Yang Yi a chance to get close.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

Every whip was aimed at Yang Yi's blind spots.

Although Yang Yi tried his best to dodge, he was still hit several times.

"How can you charge at me like this?"

In Jiang Qing's eyes, Yang Yi's intentions were too obvious.

If this continued, before he could get to her, his entire body would be covered in injuries.

Her whip's offensive ability could not be compared to swords and sabers, but a whip was no joke.

However, Yang Yi did not care and reached out to grab the incoming whip.

However, the whip suddenly changed its position and went around to his side, pecking at his waist.

Hiss!

The pain made his entire body tremble.

Even so, he did not stop his approaching footsteps.

"Reckless."

Jiang Qing shook her head and retreated.

At the same time, the whip technique changed and swung at Yang Yi from a strange angle.

This was the killer move of the Snake-Swallowing Nine Butterfly Whip. Dozens of whip shadows landed on the enemy at the same time. Not only did it have great lethality, but it was also difficult to tell if it was real or fake.

From Yang Yi's performance just now, he could not dodge this move at all!

Whoosh.

Yang Yi looked at the layers of whip shadows.

Without saying anything, he directly used Phantom Dodge and used his body's own reaction to twist his body in an instant, perfectly dodging the attack.

This action, which ordinary people thought was impossible to complete, was actually managed by Yang Yi's body.

Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment.

This was the opening Yang Yi was waiting for.

Yang Yi dashed in front of Jiang Qing.

He had held back for so long, and even deliberately received a few lashes, all to numb his opponent and use Phanto, Dodge to turn the tables at the crucial moment.

From Jiang Qing's panicked expression, it could be seen that his plan had succeeded.

Yang Yi leaned closer to Jiang Qing and stretched out his hand to grab the whip.

Jiang Qing naturally did not comply. She moved her fists and legs, but how could her fists and legs be a match for Yang Yi?

In just a few rounds, her hands were firmly held by Yang Yi.

"Admit defeat." Yang Yi's fist landed on Jiang Qing's shoulder.

"I never admit defeat!" Jiang Qing gritted her teeth and squatted down, using her flexibility to break free from the restraints. Yang Yi moved to catch up and launched his Mountain-hugging Fist.

Thump.

When his fist approached, Jiang Qing happened to turn around.

The fist landed on the awkward spot before her without any deviation. It did not fluctuate much, but it was gentle and soft.

Yang Yi hesitated. If he used all his strength and hit this spot, his opponent would definitely be seriously injured.

This was just an insignificant match.

It was not worth it to offend the Anther gang.

He was about to withdraw and use his legs to attack.

However, Jiang Qing seized the opportunity.

She grabbed Yang Yi's arm with a backhand and did not let him withdraw.

Then, she pushed Yang Yi off the stage with his fist in front of him.
