Lu Ye accepted the request and chose the terrain. Both man and tiger disappeared as the Heavens invisible power descended from the skies.
As usual, his choice of terrain was the arena that was only a hundred meters in radius. He waited for the white light to disappear before looking opposite him.
On the other side of the arena was a woman in purple clothes. She was a tall, slender woman with an angelic face and a devilish figure. She also exuded a kind of elegance and tranquility.
Perhaps it was intentional, but Lan Zi Yi was wearing a purple dress just like her name. It was fitting if nothing else.
Lu Ye focused his gaze and raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. Lan Zi Yi was observing him as well. They were both the strongest cultivators of their respective factions. They were watching one another not because they appreciated the other persons existenceif anything, they would love to see their opponent deadbut because it was just natural to observe your opponent before a big battle.
Lan Zi Yi didnt look like she was carrying a Spirit Artifact. Lu Ye wondered if this meant that she was a spell cultivator. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂
On the other hand, her outfit did not seem to match that description.

Descent of the Legendary Archmage Chapter 1
In any case, all he needed to do to find out was to fight her.
There was a buzz as nine flying weapons exited his Weapon Holder like ferocious tigers. They crossed over half the distance in the blink of an eye.
Lan Zi Yi raised her hand and pointed. A stream of refined Spiritual Power joined together to form a thread before shooting toward the flying weapons.
It wasnt a spell. It was just Lan Zi Yis Spiritual Power being manifested outside her body and controlled very precisely. However, it was on par with most spells in terms of power.
What was even more surprising was the fact that it split into nine threads in mid-air. They flew toward the flying weapons and blocked them all.
That wasnt all. More lines of Spiritual Power were shooting out of her hand until they formed what looked like a giant web. It then sailed toward Lu Ye and threatened to catch him.
The web of Spiritual Power was massive. There was no way he could dodge it even with Windwalk.
He unsheathed the Inviolable and swung at the web. His fiery red Spiritual Power instantly tore a hole in it. At the same time, Lu Ye launched himself toward Lan Zi Yi like an arrow.
It looked like his opponent was a spell cultivator, so the natural course of action here was to fight her at close range. Only then could he maximize his own advantage.
Lu Ye had just taken off when the sound of metal ringing reached his ears. The next moment, he saw a dozen or so auras flying toward him. They were flying swords!
[A spell cultivator that uses swords as their flying weapon? Thats rare.]
Lu Ye remained calm and sent his own flying weapons after the enemys. He never stopped running toward Lan Zi Yi during this time.
Sparks flew everywhere as metal clashed against metal. In the blink of an eye, Lu Ye had gotten within forty meters of Lan Zi Yi. Flames flickered around the Inviolables blade as his killing intent exploded.
Finally, Lan Zi Yi decided it was time for action. She made a grabbing motion and pulled out what looked like a massive sword out of thin air. It happened so fast that even Lu Ye had missed the movement.
Lan Zi Yis weapon was a two-handed greatsword. It was obviously bigger, thicker and heavier than the average sword. Suffice to say, it was quite something to see a woman wielding such a weapon.
She grabbed the weapon with both hands before lifting it to meet Lu Yes attack!
BOOM
Shockwaves rippled across the arena as Spiritual Power clashed against Spiritual Power. The impact shook Lu Ye shook a bit but that was it. Lan Zi Yi was bending back a little, but she did not take a single step back either.
Lu Ye was honestly surprised. Without exaggeration, there had never been a Spirit Creek Realm cultivator who clashed blades with him and did not take a step backward. It was a feat that wouldve balked even a Heaven Nine body-tempering cultivator, and yet the woman in front of him had done it.
[Theres no way shes a spell cultivator!]
What concerned him even more was the fact that the woman had been wearing a small smile on her face this whole time. It felt like he was being looked down on by a superior.
Han Tiejun was right. She was playful, and she was treating this battle like it was just a game.
There was a brief stalemate as they stood less than three meters away from each other. They stared into each others eyes as red and blue Spiritual Power clashed fiercely in the middle.
[This is a good opportunity to use Radiance]
Aura swept across the Inviolables blade before erupting like a million suns. Suddenly, Lu Ye felt a tremendous force that pushed him ten or so meters away from his opponent.
Lan Zi Yi was also backing away with her eyes closed.
Clink clank, clink clank
Their flying weapons were still clashing against one another. They hadnt stopped once since the beginning of the battle.
It took a powerful mind to fight another cultivator both physically and telekinetically. Lu Ye could handle this because his Divine Soul was baptized by the Pool of Divine Purification, not to mention that he had consumed an enviable amount of Soul Cleansing Water later on.
However, Lan Zi Yis mind turned out to be just as strong as his. This should not be possible.
As the two combatants backed away from each other, one flying sword successfully slipped past Lu Yes flying weapons and swung down on him.
Lu Yes feet werent on the ground yet, but he did not need to look to defend himself. He hit the flying sword so hard that its aura dimmed, and it was thrown all the way to the edge of the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the Radiance that had caught even a Real Lake Realm champion off guard hadnt worked this time. Lan Zi Yis reaction was just too fast. She had pushed him away and closed her eyes the instant she noticed something was wrong.
By the time the light had faded, they were dashing toward one another and clashing in the middle once more. It was like two mountains slamming into one another. Wreathed in auras of contrasting color, the greatsword and the saber clashed again and again.
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes a little. He had noticed this when he was pushed away earlier, but the womans strength was ridiculous. Every time they clashed blades, his weapon arm would shake a little from the impact. His hand was slowly but surely turning numb in his grip.
He could hardly believe what was happening. He was actually losing to a woman in a contest of strength!
No matter how he looked at her, her vitality did not match the level of strength she was displaying. It should be impossible for her to have such explosive strength.
It was then a possibility entered Lu Yes mind. He immediately constructed an Insight in his eyes.
