The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 118 - Electric Steel Eel Girl II
Xu Zetian furrowed his brows without compromising his vigilance. He saw Xin Fai running towards him without carrying any weapons.
"The Crescent Kick!"
Almost a full circle of kicks hit Xu Zetian but he first dodged and looked for a safe position from the opponent as much as possible.
Xin Fai ran with a high-level Lightning Step until her running speed could be matched with Xu Zetian in a few seconds, the girl was surprised when there was someone who could compensate for it. He again tried to dodge the physical attacks from Xin Fai, if exposed to one of them alone he was sure it would be fatal.
Attacks continued to come in a row towards Xu Zetian mercilessly but none managed to scratch him, within fifteen minutes none of them seemed to be winning the match. The situation was so balanced and only drained Xin Fai's energy.
Xin Fai started to grow furious because Xu Zetian was deliberately stalling for time and making her exhausted whereas the girl herself was already used to running at such high speeds like this for even a full day. Feeling that it had been a long time wasting Xu Zetian finally let out a sound.
"Have given up, even though you can compensate me even if I'm more agile in terms of dodging attacks."
"What did you just say? It's weird to have people give up anyway."
Xin Fai released hundreds of wind blades for the second time but Xu Zetian first twisted his body quickly until the blade was deflected by a very strong wind around his body.
"It's impossible that you could hurt me, all my enemies never managed to scratch my skin as long as you know," said Xu Zetian arrogantly.
"really? I feel like you're begging for your victory because you won't be able to attack me."
Xin Fai's words were so precise that Xu Zetian coughed lightly, neither he nor Xin Fai excelled at each other. They have their own advantages and are difficult to move to defeat their opponents.
"Hahaha alright, I don't care either, please waste your time attacking me, because all of that will be in vain."
"Hm? In vain? Try asking the sword behind you, maybe he can answer it." Xin Fai smiled slantedly as he raised his hand, just then also his sword that he had just dropped on the arena floor floated as it was moved using spirit power.
Xu Zetian was surprised not to play and he just dodged, but the attack from the sword first shot sharply straight ahead. The sight of a flying sword made Yong Tao advance his body to see even more clearly. Not only him, the entire audience was silent at the scene.
Xu Zetian's left arm was slashed by the sword before the girl dodged, though not so deeply piercing it but enough to make the girl in pain and unable to focus as before.
"So it looks like someone told me it's impossible to hurt you."
"Don't big head first! Just a wound like this won't make me lose!"
Xin Fai again smiled in a slant and suddenly it made Xu Zetian's calf tremble in fear, he took a few steps back and prepared to run if Xin Fai came forward to attack him.
"See. There's a surprise on top of you."
As Xu Zetian looked up his eyes immediately glared wide, he fell to his knees as he saw that over two hundred golden blades were about to hit him from up there.
Xin Fai waited for a while as he felt that there was no need to hurt a woman, he was unwilling to release hundreds of golden blades that would endanger lives like this just for the sake of winning the match.
The fallen Xu Zetian was speechless, his lips trembling about to say something.
"I... I'm giving up."
In an instant the hundreds of golden blades moved back into Xin Fai's body and absorbed into him. While his sword had returned into its sheath.
As usual the lively on the bench of the audience sounded rowdy, they fussed about the sword that could move itself so excitedly that some even said Xin Fai was a disciple from another Empire who came to this tournament.
Choosing not to worry about the surroundings Xin Fai let out a breath, he smiled briefly at Li Yong who was sitting far away from the arena. The priest was always worried about the representatives of their sect every match which made Xin Fai even more eager to win this tournament in order to make Li Yong relieved.
With this tournament the preliminary round is declared complete and will be continued with the main round, in one full day the preliminary round can be completed sooner than the target set.
Afterwards they immediately returned to the Lotus Temple residence to rest.
Just as they arrived and were about to fill the stomach a knock rang out in front, Xin Fai opened the door and found Lian Sheng standing there with a wide-spread smile with his little daughter.
"Fai 'er... I haven't seen you in a long time." The man said warmly, his gaze so gentle on Xin Fai.
"It's nice to meet Uncle, come in, we happen to be eating. We can eat together while talking."
Lian Sheng and his son entered were greeted by Li Yong, Huang Kun and Shen Xuemei.
There was a warm conversation between them, but over time it turned out that Lian Sheng spoke more to Li Yong, maybe they were both very suitable because of their age. Xin Fai was busy discussing the match earlier with Huang Kun and Shen Xuemei.
Xin Fai spoke briefly to Lian Sheng.
"Uncle, may I hold Princess Kaili?"
"Oh, of course I can."
Lian Kaili laughed as Xin Fai carried her, both of them looked so familiar that even Huang Kun himself was made strange by the baby's behavior, he seemed to really like Xin Fai.
Xin Fai who could read Huang Kun's mind finally spoke. "Me and Princess Kaili have been together before, so we can be familiar like this."
"Hm.I wonder why you have so many acquaintances like Lan An and Lian Sheng, before the Warriors from Hemei village also know you. I feel like everyone in the world knows you."
Xin Fai responded with a small grin and did not know where to explain it from.
Actually Huang Kun also wanted to ask how Xin Fai was able to move a sword that was not even within his reach earlier but it seemed that Huang Kun already had an answer. That was about the spirit that Xin Fai had told her about on the ship back then.
Too many things happened to make Huang Kun dizzy, the young man finished his meal and rushed back to the room.
While Xin Fai was focusing on hearing Lian Sheng and Li Yong's story, both of them were discussing important matters, Shen Xuemei felt uneasy in her place and immediately said no to disturb the chatter.
Another case with Xin Fai who chose to hear the conversation while joking with Lian Kaili, for a moment his brows furrowed as Lian Sheng said that recently the hitmen from Houbi City where Lian Sheng lived had been pulled, they simply disappeared and it is rumored that elsewhere the movement of the group has stopped for no reason.
Lian Sheng had indeed deliberately sought information about the hitman because before his son had been targeted by them, if it was true that all the hitmen in the Shang Empire had been withdrawn there would definitely be something going on afterwards. This movement is like a sea wave that recedes briefly to bring a powerful wave.
Xin Fai looked deathly pale in place, he began to suspect everything that would happen and it all came back to the words of a hit girl last time who said thousands of hitmen would move to catch her.
If that were really going to happen, Xin Fai would never have a chance to run again. He took a deep breath and let the two of them feel unwell.
Lian Sheng simply stared at Xin Fai's departure and tried to understand while Li Yong more or less knew what Xin Fai was feeling. He just hoped his guess was wrong.
