The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 132 - Miss Xiu Crying
Xiu Juan stared straight ahead with the silence that occurred in the middle of the arena, his opponent did not make any movement because he was worried about him. One by one, Xiu Juan stepped into the arena until he stood at one point opposite Xin Fai.
"How many times have I told you..." Xiu Juan raised his head in a furious manner.
"I won't lose to you!"
Simultaneously after that exclamation five chains of lightning came out from behind his back very quickly, thousands of pairs of eyes staring at it to the point of being stunned for a few seconds. Xiu Juan was even able to bring out a power that matched the strength of the Imperial Pillars. High-level energy changes like these are not very easy to do and can only be mastered after practicing for decades. But Xiu Juan pulled out the move without a burden.
The exception to using the forbidden style, anyone can do it if they are willing to sacrifice something while using the style.
"What's he doing?! Is he crazy?!" The elder from the White Fog Valley stood upright from his chair, the veins on his forehead protruding with his face extinguished.
"Calm the Elder..." One who came from another big sect calmed down.
"How can I calm down when the boy uses his mother's forbidden style! This cannot be allowed at all!"
The White Mist Valley Elder was about to climb the arena stage but Yang Guifei held back his pace.
"As long as the fight is fair there is no reason to stop it. I hope you understand what I mean and don't take heart."
The elder certainly could not stay still, he was about to advance again but Yang Guifei was blocking his way.
"If he wears it continuously his lifespan will get shorter! That move will absorb his life energy periodically and you have no intention of reprimanding him?" Although it could control itself yet the White Mist Valley Elder could not calm himself down.
Yang Guifei turned his gaze back and found Xiu Juan who was already preparing with chains of lightning, before him Xin Fai took out hundreds of blades of light and prepared for the next fight.
"I think this fight is fair. On that matter, everything was Xiu Juan's choice. If it's his decision we can't interfere."
The White Mist Valley Elder retreated just like that after a peck of annoyance, he returned to the bench feeling agitated.
The five chains of lightning belonging to Xiu Juan moved as if they had a sense, when they almost collided with one of the Xin Fai chains jumped and found the arena floor damaged by the prick of the chain.
Suddenly an unexpected thing happened, when Xin Fai was still jumping in the air one of the chains was chasing him. He swung the sword until it hit the chain but the next thing to happen was four other chains charging at it simultaneously.
'Ware!' xin Fai's inner being panicked, he had absolutely no footing to dodge.
"The Book of Seven Keys - The Path of a Thousand Spirits!"
A strong wind came cutting through the chain, a puff of smoke shaped like a full circle lingered in the air for a few seconds until all eyes dared not blink made.
As the audience was bewitched to see the fight of these two formidable participants, Yong Tao no longer wanted to compare their strength with those of his generation back then. Of course their strength was much different and this would be history in the advancement of the martial world in the Shang Empire.
"The "strains he has been wearing all this time... Didn't it all come from the Qing Empire?"
"I think he's a swordsman from the Empire, it's worth that his strength is terrible."
"But I'm sure he's not from there, I can guarantee him a hundred percent!"
The audience discussion sounded vague, Xin Fai landed smoothly with his hands that began to bleed. On one side a chain of Xiu Juan had been destroyed by his attack earlier.
"Sacrificing your life age for the sake of becoming an Imperial Pillar? Isn't that useless?"
Xiu Juan was bluffing to make his chains move more and more wildly. "You don't know anything about me!"
"I don't care. But sacrificing life energy for a fight like this seems to be–"
"Stop chasing me! I trained day and night non-stop for the sake of this match! L'm... I have to keep my promise to Mom!"
Xin Fai felt pity when he saw Xiu Juan's life energy being absorbed so much as a chain that had been broken back into its original form. Thanks to the spark mark on his forehead, Xin Fai was able to see the flow of energy very clearly.
"Every single broken chain will reduce your lifespan by one year. Is that true?"
Xiu Juan did not reply, he again prepared to fight against Xin Fai.
Xin Fai gave a small peck. "I won't pity you, because I also have to keep my promise to Dad!" xin Fai exclaimed running using Lightning Steps.
"The Book of Seven Keys - A Thousand Full Sword!"
"The Chain of Fog Destruction!"
The two paths meet each other creating a very powerful energy leap, the glare light makes the audience close their eyes due to the chain of lightning belonging to Xiu Juan like lightning that is striking the earth.
A battle circle was formed, in less than a minute hundreds of sword swings injured Xiu Juan and at the same time his chain pierced Xin Fai's body from various directions.
The Thousand Full Sword Force was extremely dangerous, Xiu Juan's chain did not even bother to protect him at all, moreover now attacking Xin Fai back was an impossibility considering that things had easily turned around.
The fierce battle caused the two participants to arrive at the end of the arena line. Xiu Juan's condition was very bad, his entire body was bleeding from a sword incision and his own wound was much worse than Xin Fai who had three stab marks from a chain.
The three chains belonging to Xiu Juan had been smashed into pieces and turned into light, the girl had no intention of creating another chain of lightning as the condition of her body was extremely concerning.
Xiu Juan looked at Xin Fai with wet eyeballs, he could not accept defeat and wanted to continue fighting until his life was exhausted though, yet his body refused, the fatal injuries he had sustained were already so many.
"I never sacrificed my life to save what I had, until finally something precious was taken from me, and I can only regret it."
Xin Fai silently listened, she felt the story was the same as she had experienced it before.
A moment Xiu Juan recalled his past when the black warriors came. They robbed his entire fortune.
Little Xiu Juan knew nothing, he was terrified and hid in a small closet while his mother tried to dissuade the warriors from taking his family's valuables. Xiu Juan's mother's head was cut off just like that on that gripping night.
The death of his mother became a deep wound in the heart of Xiu Juan, a promise he had said first, someday he would become the Pillar of the Empire.
Xiu Juan cried as he lowered his head making Xin Fai again stared intently at by the audience. Now that Ren Yuan was around, he had made one more girl cry.
