Chapter 180: A Beautiful Woman’s Attack!
Far away from the canyon and close to the outer region of the Black Wind Desert, Li Yun walked along the barren terrain with a satisfied expression on his face. In his hand, he held the Martial Dao Crystal. Several hours had already passed since he had taken it from Ling Zhen.
As he walked, he carefully examined the crystal once again.
“This crystal is truly strange,” Li Yun muttered quietly. “It cannot even be stored inside a storage ring.”
He had attempted to place the Martial Dao Crystal into his storage ring earlier, only to discover that the ring simply refused to accept it. This was something he had rarely encountered before. Most treasures, weapons, and materials could easily be stored within storage rings, so encountering an object that resisted such storage left him quite surprised.
Because of this, Li Yun became even more convinced that the crystal in his hand was an extraordinary treasure.
From what he understood, only items of extremely high value or unique nature would resist being stored inside storage rings. The Martial Dao Crystal clearly belonged to that category.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Yun continued walking through the desert with a faint smile on his face.
However, that relaxed expression soon faded.
Suddenly, he sensed something unusual ahead of him.
Li Yun’s eyes narrowed instantly. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and raised it in front of him in a defensive stance.
Clang.
A blurred silhouette appeared before him with astonishing speed and collided directly with his blade the moment he raised it. The impact produced a sharp metallic sound as sparks scattered in every direction.
Only then did Li Yun clearly see the figure before him.
It was a young woman who appeared to be in her early twenties. Her features were strikingly beautiful, possessing a cold and elegant charm that was difficult to ignore.
For a brief moment, even Li Yun was slightly stunned by her appearance.
She is truly beautiful.
It was one of the most stunning faces he had seen since arriving in this world.
“You are quite resilient,” the woman said coldly.
She flipped backward gracefully and landed several meters away from him. Her eyes remained fixed on Li Yun as she studied him carefully.
She had originally expected her sudden attack to kill Li Yun instantly, or at the very least send him flying with severe injuries. Yet none of that had happened. Instead, Li Yun had blocked her strike without suffering any visible harm.
What surprised her even more was the aura she sensed from him.
His cultivation was only at the third level of the Xiantian Realm.
“Who are you?”
Li Yun’s voice turned cold as he asked the question. His eyes narrowed sharply while he stared at the young woman standing before him.
If his spiritual perception had not improved after his Spirit Soul advanced, he knew that the sudden attack earlier would have struck him directly. In that situation, he would have either died instantly or suffered serious injuries.
The young woman did not answer his question. Instead, her gaze shifted toward the object in his hand.
“The item you are holding,” she said calmly as she pointed at the Martial Dao Crystal. “I want it. Name your price.”
Li Yun immediately understood the situation. The reason behind her sudden attack had become completely clear.
“I see.”
A cold sneer appeared on his face.
“So you first launch an attack that could kill almost anyone in the Xiantian Realm, and when that fails you suddenly decide to talk about price.”
He looked at her with a mocking expression.
“It seems there is quite a hypocrite hiding behind that beautiful face of yours.”
The young woman’s expression turned colder after hearing his words.
“I did not intend to kill you after you survived my first strike,” she replied in a calm but icy tone. “Only someone with exceptional talent and potential could survive that attack. Because of that, I was willing to spare your life.”
Her eyes grew sharper as she continued.
“However, I did not expect you to be so arrogant.”
The moment those words fell, a powerful aura burst out from her body. The oppressive presence of a Half Step Qi Sea Realm cultivator spread across the surrounding desert.
She raised her sword and pointed it directly at Li Yun.
“Hand over the Martial Dao Crystal,” she said coldly. “Or die.”
Li Yun remained calm as he slipped the Martial Dao Crystal into the folds of his robe. He then drew his sword and held it firmly in his hand.
“I cannot give you the Martial Dao Crystal,” he said with a faint smile. “So it seems we will have to fight.”

Just at that moment the system issued a mission and seeing this Li Yun smirked.
“A third level Xiantian Realm martial artist challenging someone who has already stepped into the Half Step Qi Sea Realm is nothing but a joke,” the young woman said coldly. Her gaze was sharp and filled with disdain. “Your arrogance may very well cost you your life.”
Li Yun’s smile only widened when he heard those words as he began circulating all three of his cultivation arts to the 14th layer.
“If you truly believe that,” he replied calmly, “then you should try killing me.”
The moment the words left his mouth, his body moved.
Boom!
Li Yun activated the Raging Wind Tiger Art. His figure burst forward like a violent gust of wind and crossed the distance between them in a single instant. The speed of his movement startled even the young woman slightly.
Before she could react further, Li Yun’s sword had already descended.
“Overlord Sword Art – Tyrant’s Crushing Slash.”
His blade erupted with terrifying qi. The sword light tore through the air with overwhelming force as if a tyrant’s authority had descended upon the battlefield. The oppressive aura carried enough pressure to make the surrounding air tremble violently.
Li Yun immediately used his strongest sword art against her. He realized against someone like her, who was in the half-step Qi Sea Realm, he didn’t have to hold back and could go all out against her. And he was doing just that.
