The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 41 - The defeat of the Kaibo
While refining his sword technique Xin Fai was startled by the voice of a young man, he found Kaibo standing by the river. Of course, as usual, the wrinkles on Kaibo's face add to the impression of horror that multiplies. Xin Fai even held her breath looking at the look in those eyes.
"Can you show me your progress after these three days?"
Xin Fai nodded slowly and began to focus his gaze onto a sword in his hand.
Kaibo's face that was originally full of threats turned astonished, he observed very closely the movements that Xin Fai had shown and it was clear that the technique was a very new technique.
The swords stomped but each movement was interconnected like flowing water, behind which all Kaibo was amazed was step by step Xin Fai like a dancing person. A beautiful but deadly movement.
Xin Fai combined Lan An's rough and labor-intensive movement patterns with her own movement patterns. And then develop both to be more perfect. After noon night he was finally able to find that answer after Lan An's face suddenly appeared in his memory.
"Good, good," praised Kaibo stroking his old beard. "But far from my target. Come practice with me again."
Xin Fai again jumped to the ground and Kaibo received the sword attack. A one-sided battle, Xin Fai was temporarily unable to keep up with that old man.
He took a few steps back while taking a breath, after rounding off his resolve Xin Fai sprinted over. He swung the sword without pause, as he had previously shown. His every move was like flowing water and continued to attack relentlessly. Kaibo was a little overwhelmed but could still anticipate it.
"This child..." Inner Kaibo after being made to retreat, he charged forward again but Xin Fai showed no expression of trepidation. He even welcomed the Kaibo attack.
"She's not as reluctant to attack as before." Inner Kaibo while fending off the sword that was about to hit it, the rate of the sword attack was extremely sharp even for someone with such a high level of strength.
In the next attack Xin Fai no longer mince words, he expended all his strength to get Kaibo to acknowledge his strength.
The exchange of attacks took place so quickly, Xin Fai was in an attacking position while Kaibo was still in a defensive position. But the moment Kaibo started attacking, he targeted the weak part of Xin Fai.
Realizing that Xin Fai started to put up a defensive position if he did not want his fight to end in vain. The child's footsteps were increasingly pushed back due to Kaibo who began to be aggressive.
"Have enough practice, let's end this." Kaibo yawned widely, he was increasingly pressing Xin Fai back so far.
As the position grew increasingly unfavorable Xin Fai unleashed one fatal strike. His sword was fended off by Kaibo and thrown up.
A smile of victory seemed to decorate Kaibo's face for a second, although he was amazed earlier but he was not one who was easily conquered. He would not admit someone so easily.
Xin Fai also put on the same gaze, raising a big question within Kaibo's head. Instantly Xin Fai jumped up and regained his sword.
"The Book of Seven Keys - The Half Moon of the Circle!"
Kaibo who was too happy with his victory did not expect to get an attack like this. He held back the pace of Xin Fai's sword with his sword.
But the unusual pressure from Xin Fai's sword gave rise to sparks, breaking Kaibo's sword and Xin Fai's attack on his shoulder.
"You-you!?" Kaibo could not accept that.
"I didn't use any inner power, so there's nothing wrong, right?"
Kaibo was speechless and embarrassed to have behaved so, he apologized and allowed Xin Fai to rest.
Kaibo certainly did not expect Xin Fai to use another way to defeat him. Despite trying to cover it up, a spirit like Kaibo would have known that Xin Fai used a little natural energy in his final attack.
He looked at Xin Fai who was not listening to his words, the boy was training on a boulder and gathering natural energy around him. Spirits like Kaibo were also bestowed with a special sight, he could clearly see the blue-colored natural energy gathering around Xin Fai.
"How do you understand all this? I mean, that natural energy?" Kaibo did not try to cover up his curiosity because he could not help it.
Xin Fai smiled slightly.
"I've been training at waterfalls with high temperatures. There the natural energy is much more and I learned to absorb the natural energy from there."
"You understand it very easily. You know, humans your age don't necessarily have thoughts like you either."
Xin Fai's laughter broke, she had actually prepared that final shock to make Kaibo no longer nag him. On the other hand Xin Fai thanked Lang who had given him a hint.
If it wasn't for his grudge against the Demonic Blood Man Xin Fai wouldn't be this facetious to increase his strength. At the very least, his current dream was to become the strongest person to be able to kill the leader of the Blood Devil Man, Liu Fengying.
"Come here, there's something I need to check."
Xin Fai brought her forehead close to Kaibo's index finger, which was when she could see Kaibo shaking her head.
"You already have at least sixty inner forces, half the gate within you has opened and that is what causes the Devil to move within you."
"Half gate? What do you mean the four gates of energy in that?"
"Yes. To open the first gate you must have at least one hundred inner manpower. And at your age of 9 years you already have 60 power in. I don't know where you get that much energy in a short time."
Xin Fai told of the inner power he got when training at the waterfall for days and from the bat cave as well. Kaibo added. "And the stealth gems you get that each add up to 10 circles of energy in you."
"Means if I manage to get all 33 gems I will get 330 power in a quick manner."
"No," Kaibo interrupted. "The thing you got was a weakling. The stronger the gem you get the more energy there is. As far as I know the most powerful gem can add at least two hundred power in."
Xin Fai nodded his head, he felt that the information from Kaibo was very useful.
"If I get stronger, it means that the demon inside me is getting stronger as well..." His inner. The boy seemed to think hard.
As if reading the contents of Xin Fai's head an old man gave his advice.
"You can seal that Devil, with the sealing science in a Temple."
"Lotus Temple?"
