The Card Cultivation System
CCS-99
His voice was indeed not loud, but it echoed in the ears of everyone present and made them all widen their eyes.
SRAT!
Two lines appeared on Tian Yin's body and made him bleed.
But he's still alive. Tian Yin managed to weaken Xika's attack. Plus, Xika was already exhausted and it was her last attack. The attack drained all of his remaining qinya.
Xika fell to her knees. Breath snuffling. His hand tried to grab the handle to help him stand up but he did not find it.
When Xika raised her head, Tian Yin's feet greeted her cheeks.
THE DUAK!
Xika fell down. Tian Yin approached and gave another kick in his stomach.
THE DUAK!
He could only accept attack. He no longer had the energy to survive. Standing up is hard, let alone surviving.
Tian Yin returned to give a kick.
THE DUAK!
THE DUAK!
THE DUAK!
"Xika, that's enough. I can't take it anymore. I'll kill that arrogant boy!"
"No........Huo Bing, you can't........Your existence will be revealed. After all...since the beginning of this was my fight."
"But......."
Huo Bing still did not accept it, but it seemed that Heiliao stopped him somehow.
And Tian Yin continued his attacks nonstop. He vented his anger. Tian Yin, the most talented genius in the capital, successfully humiliated the middle of nowhere boy?
THE DUAK!
You're not worth a damn! You're not worth comparing to me!
THE DUAK!
You're not worth talking about by my father!
THE DUAK!
You don't deserve to shadow my life!
THE DUAK!
You don't deserve to breathe the same air as me!
THE DUAK!
Tian Yin's last strike managed to make Xika flung a few meters away.
"Ohuk....."
Xika rubbed her bloody lips. With great difficulty, he woke up. Luckily, Tian Yin attacked him to the edge of the city wall. He made it a handle.
Now Xika was on par with Tian Yin. His feet were shaking. But in his eyes there was no fear this time. There is only anger, hatred, and madness. He would no longer submit to Tian Yin and let the young man ruin his life again. It won't.
He smiled with great difficulty.
"What's wrong? Is that all you can do? You're weaker than I thought."
Tian Yin advanced and performed a spinning kick that landed on Xika's stomach.
THE DUAK!
"OKAY!"
Xika coughed a few times until she let out blood. But he stood. On his face, a contemptuous smile appeared. Tian Yin looked at that smile and came back to attack him. This time with his hands.
THE DUAK!
Xika's view is spinning. In front of him were now three Tian Yin. But he still stands. And a contemptuous smile was still plastered on his face. He opened his mouth, but before he spoke, Tian Yin had attacked him. This time with his hands burning.
THE DUAK!
"Heh. What's the?...........Too weak to bring me down?"
Xika got an answer in the form of a kick on her chin.
THE DUAK!
His head hit the wall where he leaned and held. But he still stands. Tian Yin did not stop. He launched a series of attacks. But no matter what attack he gave, he was unable to take Xika down.
Finally he stopped because of exhaustion. I'll take a breath before going back to attack, he thought.
"Hey........why stop? Caved yet?"
Tian Yin attacked him again. But he still failed to take down Xika. It was true that the boy leaned against the wall and made it his grip. But even a Qi Forming stage cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand that much attack even if he was leaning against a wall. But Tian Yin was unwilling to stop.
"Hey-"
THE DUAK!
"What are you-"
THE DUAK!
"Believe-"
THE DUAK!
"That's me-"
THE DUAK!
"Akan-"
THE DUAK!
"Kill you-"
THE DUAK!
"In the future?"
Tian Yin's punch came to a halt. Simultaneously, everyone watching opened their mouths. The atmosphere was silent for a moment. There were a lot of people who cheered on both. Tian Yin lowered his hand, he was about to hit Xika. He shut up for a while and then strangled Xika.
"Do you think you can beat me after a few years?"
"Heh. I'm gonna kill you."
Xika smiled contemptuously, as if the thing Tian Yin asked was nothing. He was confident that he would be able to kill Tian Yin and Xika's gaze did not waver in the slightest when he said that.
Tian Yin tilted his mouth. Smiling insultingly.
"Are you asking me to save you? Begging. Maybe I'll be kind."
Xika smiled in contempt.
"Chuck"
And he spat right on Tian Yin's face.
"DAMNIT!"
Tian Yin again beat Xika. This time he managed to take Xika down. But instead of being happy, he felt something else when he saw Xika who was smiling despite falling down. It feels.......fear?
After giving one last kick at Xika's head, Tian Yin said,
"Heh, go. Even after a hundred years have passed, you will never be able to defeat me no matter what you do."
"We'll see later. You'll regret letting me live today."
That Xika's reply irritated Tian Yin and kicked him back.
With great difficulty, Xika stood up. His body swayed left and right almost fell. Many people looked at his figure worriedly, but no one dared to help him. They were unwilling to offend both Tian Yin and Xika, so it was better to remain silent and become a spectator. Xika had indeed lost to Tian Yin both in terms of strength or background. But no one doubted that the boy had the potential to match Tian Yin. And in the end Xika managed to survive. It didn't fall.
He used the city walls to help him walk. He walked away. But no one stopped him. Those who saw this fight would carve these two figures in their minds. Especially the figure of the middle of nowhere young man who fought against the number one genius in the Lin Dynasty.
Then in the future, Yuan City would be known as one of the historical places where the top two geniuses of the Lin Dynasty started his first battle. Their battle scars were not cleared, even to the future. And people from other cities will come just to see the scars of their battles. The people who witnessed the fight today will tell it proudly in the future. Even up to their grandchildren and will continue to tell this story down to the next generation.
Xika arrived at the city wall. He turned around and looked at the thousands of eyes that were staring at him. Some know him, while others do not. He stood up today and did not embarrass himself. What Xika did not know was that not a single person who witnessed their fight would think that Xika was just humiliating her. Then he turned and looked at the pair of smoldering red eyes belonging to his mortal enemy that had hatred on par with himself.
"If I see you again, I'll kill you."
Even though he was weaker, he still refused to duck. Stupid sounds like it. But he had looked down once and he regretted it. This time he will not be looking down again. To whoever it is. Even if he had to die, he would still raise his head and stand up straight. It was his pride as well as his pride that he had obtained over the past ten years. And he won't give up that.
Tian Yin sent out a fireball in response to Xika's remark.
A BLAR!
Bruk!
Xika. His clothes that had previously been destroyed, were now completely destroyed after being hit by the Tian Yin fireball and exposed his scarred body and made many people goosebumps to see him. Many asked if they could receive that much wound and stay alive. Xika's legs were shaking again. But he has to stand. He can't fall, not here. That's pride. His pride which he finally found after ten years of living in humiliation and fear.
He tried hard to stand under the gaze of Wu Liao, Gong Tao, and the thousands of pairs of eyes that were staring at him. And he finally managed to stand up.
Xika looked at the only people she knew. First, Wu Liao. The girl had a complicated look in her eyes. Xika herself also had an equally complicated view. Their relationship is a bit complicated. Xika will refuse if people say that Wu Liao is his friend, while Wu Liao will refuse if people say that Xika is his enemy. But one thing is clear between them. Wu Liao himself had created an abyss that could not be crossed at any moment.
Then Gong Tao. The man had a hard choice. He had to choose between Xika or Tian Yin. In the future both of them would need resources, at that time one of Xika or Tian Yin would not look for the Pavilion for resources anymore if the other had already taken it first. And Xika guessed that he chose Tian Yin.
Wh why? Hei Bao and himself were both heading towards the Immortal Pearl Pavillion. But inside, he did not see Hei Bao though. It meant that he did not pass through the front door and went straight into Gong Tao's private room. Xika only realized this a moment later. That was the reason why he did not buy the ingredients to form Huo Bing's body.
Finally, Tian Yin. He looked at the young man coldly. Ordinary people would shiver in fear when they saw his gaze. Tian Yin returned Xika's gaze with an equally cold gaze. They looked at each other for a while then realized that each had the same thoughts. Tian Yin smiled sinisterly while Xika waved her middle finger a farewell sign.
'By the time we meet again, that's the day of your death.'
Under the gaze of the many parties who had various relations with her, enemies, neutrals, or complicated relationships that were still unclear, Xika left Yuan City and disappeared. Even after Xika left the city, the crowd still looked at the direction she was going. They wouldn't believe the battle that had just happened if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
"Young Master, are you okay?"
Hey Bao came closer. He looked at Tian Yin with a worried look. Then he took out some pills and gave them to Tian Yin. But Tian Yin brushed off his hands and looked at him coldly.
"We're leaving."
"Eh? B-but Young Master, if Young Master intends to wait for a while, I will make sure to bring back the child's corpse."
And the response Tian Yin gave was,
THE PLAQUE!
"Do you think I can't finish him off with my own hands? Do you think I need your help? Didn't you see my fight? I obviously let him go. Understood it? I LET HIM GO!"
Hey Bao lowered his head.
"Sorry Young Master........S-I didn't mean......."
Tian Yin did not repeat his words. He walked away in the opposite direction to what XIka was taking. Hei Bao followed him behind.
Thus, the two young men who were in the main spotlight today left Yuan City and made many people unable to forget their figure in each other's minds. Each has chosen his own path. They are the opposite, like dark and light, day and night, Sun and Moon. But even the sun and moon had met, and so did the two young men. One day they will meet again.
