The group rode quickly, making good time, but soon ran into trouble. Yuan Licheng, for reasons unknown, called Jiang Yichun aside for a competition. He insisted on a life-and-death duel, and Jiang Yichun, not being the type to tolerate provocation, could not hold back.
The two of them began to fight. Yuan Licheng was skilled in arrays, and his inner strength was formidable as well. Jiang Yichun's swordsman techniques were exceptional, and combined with the merfolk water control methods he recently mastered, he quickly gained the upper hand.
Yizi watched with bright eyes, learning much from Yuan Licheng's arrays.
Bai Ruozhu and Fo Lanying arrived at the commotion just as Jiang Yichun had won. Seeing Fo Lanying, Yuan Licheng's eyes showed a hint of desolation, and he clutched his chest, falling to the ground.
