Nangong Liuli's beautiful eyes gazed over, seeing Li Xian step onto the stage for the competition, and her joy was indescribable. Among the many Flower Cage Sect bandits, Li Xian was the only one she found agreeable.
She couldn't help but worry. Fixing her gaze, she wanted to cheer him on, to say, "Kill these Flower Cage Sect villains for me," but she was constrained by the restrictions of the Rainbow Attire, rendering her body tense and unmoving. The words reached her lips but turned into silent prayers in her heart.
Li Xian cupped his hands in a salute. His opponent, a man over thirty, dressed in luxurious attire, with an Order at his waist, was named "Du Tiechang."
After exchanging false courtesies, they both made their moves. Li Xian avoided his opponent's sharp edge, responding cautiously over several moves, quickly discerning Du Tiechang's style, estimating that defeating him would not be difficult.
