However, this attack did not cause any damage; the dagger struck Yang Xiying's body as if it had hit steel!
Has his defense grown to this level?! And this is...!
Sakuya Izayoi looked surprised. Yang Xiying's defense surprised her, but what surprised her even more was that her attack seemed to have triggered something.
This reminded her of how the other powerful figures in Gensokyo dealt with her time-stopping ability by casting spells on themselves.
As long as I attack at close range, I can trigger and launch a counterattack. These are things they learned after fighting me.
Yang Xiying had fought against him before, and he had even used this method from the very beginning, since he knew about his situation from the start.
If it weren't for her strong personal abilities, she might have lost back then, but Yang Xiying's rate of improvement is unreasonable.
The fact that you can now defend against your own dagger attack is the best proof of that!
"drink--!"
Sakuya Izayoi immediately took action, grabbing Yang Xiying and jumping up to a height of over ten meters!
She then let go, but Yang Xiying did not fall. Instead, she remained suspended in mid-air, which is the magic of time stopping.
However, this also caused a flaw in Sakuya Izayoi's time-stopping ability, preventing her from using projectiles to damage enemies.
After all, only she herself can move within the stillness of time; things that do not come into contact with her will remain permanently still.
For example, the dagger thrown at Yang Xiying now will stop in mid-air after flying a short distance.
It will only continue moving forward after the time stop is lifted, making it no different from a regular thrown dagger.
Because the opponent can still dodge and block, but now Sakuya Izayoi has no other way to launch an attack.
After all, compared to close combat, you can win by sheer numbers. Izayoi Sakuya can set up a large number of bullets around the opponent!
In an instant, hundreds or even thousands of daggers stopped in their tracks around Yang Xiying, as dense as an asteroid belt!
Not only that, Sakuya Izayoi also covered the ground with barbed wire. For those who don't know, this is called caltrop.
—Izayoi Sakuya wants to see how many bullet comments Yang Xiying can block!
Snapped--!
With a snap of his fingers, time began to flow, and the daggers that had been frozen in mid-air began to move forward!
—These daggers are so close to their targets that they are impossible to defend against or dodge!
"drink--!!!"
However, Yang Xiying was prepared for this close-range attack and instantly unleashed super speed and true energy!
This is all thanks to Sakuya Izayoi.
The attack just now triggered Yang Xiying's Tai Chi Divine Skill, which allows her to activate a protective aura around her body that deflects and reflects the opponent's attack.
It is generally called Tai Chi stance, and Yang Xiying can simultaneously operate multiple internal energy techniques, which also increases the strength of Tai Chi stance to a certain extent!
So the daggers that came at them were deflected in an instant, and Yang Xiying also opened her body and spun around in place like a top!
It even generated a strong wind, and the burst of true energy formed a yin-yang pattern around Yang Xiying's body.
The incoming daggers were deflected one by one in an instant and flew towards Izayoi Sakuya. This was Yang Xiying's Tai Chi!
A martial art that can neutralize an opponent's attack, reduce the damage received, or even reflect it back—this is a divine skill created by Zhang Sanfeng when he was 100 years old!
Om-!
Seeing a large number of daggers rushing towards her, Izayoi Sakuya instinctively tried to dodge, but soon discovered the caltrops she had scattered on the ground.
She had to pause time, freezing the daggers in mid-air to stop their attack, and then she picked up the scattered caltrops.
What should we do next?
Sakuya Izayoi, who had retrieved the caltrops, was also racking her brains, since Yang Xiying had managed to neutralize all her attacks.
How should I then inflict damage on him? Or should I just let him continue to neutralize my attacks?
After all, human physical strength has its limits.
Sakuya Izayoi felt that this battle was going to turn into a war of attrition, but she didn't want to lose, so she began to retrieve the daggers that had been thrown.
Human strength is not limitless, and neither is her dagger.
Sakuya Izayoi grabbed the daggers that were suspended in mid-air and put them into her four-dimensional pocket.
—She can manipulate space to a certain extent by manipulating time.
Sizzle—crack!
Sakuya Izayoi kept packing the daggers that were attacking her into a box, and because the process was going smoothly, she overlooked something.
That is, Yang Xiying also set a mechanism on her dagger, so that the dagger suddenly emitted high temperature the moment it was touched!
——! ! !
This resulted in Sakuya Izayoi getting a burn on her hand, and the sudden situation startled her!
And so, the time stop was lifted!
"The Time of Heaven".
At the same time, Yang Xiying's voice rang out, and he instantly appeared in front of Izayoi Sakuya while still in mid-air.
——!
Sakuya Izayoi felt a sudden sense of crisis, because she no longer had time to manipulate time.
—The other side actually displayed speeds that were almost like time stopping!
boom--! ! !
She was suddenly struck in the abdomen by a palm strike carrying an electric arc, which made her feel numb all over and unable to move, although she felt that she could recover.
But before she could recover, Yang Xiying carried her on his shoulder, and Izayoi Sakuya instantly felt like she was doomed.
"Lu Da falls down the willow tree—!!!"
Yang Xiying spun Izayoi Sakuya high into the air, then grabbed her as she landed headfirst and spun her around like a top!
——! ! !
It crashed into the ground with a deafening sound, and the ground cracked and caved in due to the impact, with soil and rocks being thrown up!
Spiderweb-like cracks spread directly over twenty meters! Izayoi Sakuya could no longer get up, while Yang Xiying remained standing.
With a nosebleed, he crossed his arms and acted like nothing had happened; surprisingly, he wasn't wearing baggy pants...
Yang Xiying! WINNER—!!!
Despite suffering a minor injury, Yang Xiying still won; he defeated the Gensokyo girl without relying on a martial artist to fight for him!
P.S.: The main character has indeed grown.

NO.53 is Sakuya Izayoi's late-night visit!
"You saw it, right?"
After the sparring session ended, Sakuya Izayoi suddenly said something that made Yang Xiying immediately kneel down in reverence.
"I'm really sorry, I won't use that move again next time," because the other person had already realized it before they even had time to wipe their nosebleed.
"Well, since we've already fought, it's normal to see things we shouldn't have seen."
Seeing Yang Xiying instantly slip away, Izayoi Sakuya couldn't even muster the anger she wanted to feel. Besides, they were fighting, so it was normal for their clothes to be torn.
"But your progress is really rapid," Izayoi Sakuya was more concerned about this now.
"Yeah, he defeated Sakuya without even needing to unleash his potential," the others were equally concerned.
A sound came from the side, and when I looked over, I saw three heads peeking out from the gap.
Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Yukari Yakumo—the one speaking was the one in the middle, while Yang Xiying stared at them with dead fish eyes.
"—There's no point in you guys making me ask Sakuya out alone if you do this."
“Anyway, you’re not going to confess to Sakuya,” Reimu Hakurei pouted, “Although I was quite surprised to hear you say that as soon as you came up.”
—This person truly has no sense of shame; he can just spout those kinds of things without thinking.
"If Brother Yang and Sakuya really get together, we naturally won't interfere," Yakumo Yukari replied with a smile.
"—But actually you were just trying to give them some advice."
"Yes, we are now a united front team, so we should naturally take care of any problems our members may have."
“So, if you can’t handle this properly, we can help you,” Marisa Kirisame chimed in at this moment.
“So you guys are actually quite nice,” Yang Xiying couldn’t help but say, and at that moment Sakuya also spoke up, “Thank you for your concern.”
"I'm fine now. After all, Yang said so, so there's no need for me to be too restrained."
“Moreover, because of this, I feel like I can enjoy those special effects now,” Sakuya said with a confident smile.
"Huh? Really?" Upon hearing Sakuya's words, both Kirisame Marisa and Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but show surprised expressions.
"Why don't we try it and see if it's true or not?" Yang Xiying replied. Sakuya's favorability had now reached 60.
It was just the right point where he could invite them to join the team, and he didn't need to make them leave the team and then invite them again.
“In that case, let’s go back and try it out first,” Yukari Yakumo smiled, then opened the gap.
—On the other side was the room where Yang Xiying was temporarily staying at Jonathan's house.
"Is this the Palace of the Soul?"
Finally, Sakuya successfully entered the Palace of the Mind with everyone, and couldn't help but speak as she looked at the vast open space made of marble slabs.
"Wow, Sakuya, you really came in!" Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Sakuya appear.
"After all, I'm not as reserved as before, and the battle has made me realize that Yang is a good person."
Sakuya Izayoi said this.
"Wow, you can actually say something that sounds like a confession?" Marisa Kirisame exclaimed in amazement.
"However, after I lost to Brother Yang, I did have a feeling that he was really good, to the point that I wanted to give him something."
“Me too,” Reimu Hakurei agreed with Marisa Kirisame’s words, but quickly changed the subject and showed a strange expression.
"But something just doesn't feel right. After all, Yang Xiying didn't express her admiration or give us anything when she lost to us."
"Didn't I send ingredients to the banquet?" Yang Xiying suddenly broke out in a cold sweat because the other side gave gifts after losing, which was because of her talent.
So, it turns out the other side actually realized there was something wrong with this?! But then again, this stuff is practically hypnotic...
But it wouldn't be good to admit it directly, and besides, he often gives things to the girls of Gensokyo, and he does have a lot of respect for them.
“That’s true,” Reimu Hakurei agreed with Yang Xiying, but Yukari Yakumo’s expression was somewhat subtle.
She is currently the only one present who has not lost to Yang Xiying, and because of the gap, she can keep an eye on her movements at all times.
Therefore, she knew about some of the things this person did in the human world. After exchanging gifts and exchanging tips, the relationship between the two parties improved.
This had reached the point where Yukari Yakumo felt it was hypnosis, yet it also felt normal, since Gensokyo was a place for fighting and exchanging feelings.
—And for some reason, she also found Yang Xiying very charming…
"Speaking of which, Sakuya, what are you planning to give as a gift after you lose?" Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but ask at this moment.
—She was somewhat curious.
"Uh--"
Hearing Reimu Hakurei's question and seeing the curious expression on Marisa Kirisame's face, Sakuya Izayoi was speechless for a moment, and even a little nervous.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Since we lost to Yang Xiying, we should give her a return gift that will satisfy her."
"—So please give me some more time, Yang."
"Uh, Sakuya, you don't need to be so formal. It's just a friendly spar," Sakuya's words made Yang Xiying a little embarrassed.
“No, I will definitely prepare a proper return gift,” Izayoi Sakuya replied firmly.
