The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 91 - Huang Kun's Hope
After the fierce fight began, Xin Fai held back the pace of Huang Kun's attacks that were getting stronger and stronger. Even in this short amount of time Huang Kun's sword technique could develop very quickly.
The sound of clashing swords rang out loud in the ears, both of them fighting very seriously but did not intend to harm each other. Xin Fai occasionally said a few things that would probably be useful for Huang Kun's development.
Huang Kun's movements were freer than before after Xin Fai said that while fighting he should be able to fuse with the sword itself. Huang Kun's attacking distance widened accompanied by his steadiness in swinging the sword. Xin Fai felt that Huang Kun was now like a person who had just gained enlightenment, the young man tirelessly practiced until the day started afternoon like this.
"Hahaha, it turns out to be true. With a strong determination, even fatigue would have no effect."
Huang Kun digested the meaning of the words Xin Fai who was now propping up the sword using his shoulder, his wide grin was very friendly.
"yes too. I was only training for a few hours, but today was up to half a day... It's all thanks to you."
"Half day? I don't mind accompanying you until tomorrow morning."
It felt like Huang Kun was back excited to listen to the offer, he welcomed enthusiastically.
"A good offer! I want to practice until tomorrow morning."
"E... Senior, are you serious?" Looking at Huang Kun like a tree that was about to fall, Xin Fai was already certain that in a few minutes he would faint.
But Huang Kun restrained his body by resting on the sword he had set on the ground. "You know? When you train in a tree near the Lotus Temple I always peek at your practice.."
Huang Kun continued, his eyeballs that had been smeared due to fatigue were now reflected in the afternoon sunlight.
"I want to go beyond my limits. Well, I also dream of becoming a stronger person than the strongest!"
Xin Fai had actually known in advance for three months of training under a tree every day there would be someone peeping at him. He did not mind it, but did not expect that person to be Huang Kun.
Huang Kun's name became familiar to him when the young man became one of the 3 strongest disciples in the Lotus Temple Sect. His achievement had only been obtained one month earlier. While one disciple who belonged to the other top 3 was not in the Lotus Temple on a mission.
Despite being in the last position of the 3 strongest disciples yet Huang Kun was a genius, he had great potential to become a great figure in the future even though his current self looked extremely weak.
"Blessed to you, my strength has increased greatly. Although I haven't been able to keep up with the two of you at all, I'm very grateful."
Xin Fai again recalled, when she swung her sword first she could feel the person peeking at her doing the same. It made him wonder about something.
"Senior, this time do not hold back. I want to see all your abilities." Xin Fai said with a stiff countenance, this time he no longer gave directions but fought seriously like against an enemy.
Huang Kun drew a sword very confidently.
In some exchanges, Xin Fai was able to feel that the technique Huang Kun used was somewhat similar to him, although it was still dominant with Huang Kun's own techniques.
Huang Kun has a pattern of powerful attacks and agile movements, Xin Fai admitted Huang Kun is very good at cornering his enemies when fighting.
After seeing and practicing Xin Fai's movement patterns secretly, he trained himself every day diligently. The result was shortly after that he was included in one of the three genius disciples in his sect.
Huang Kun's extraordinary achievement was not at all special between Shen Xuemei and Xin Fai making him look weak and always discouraged.
Xin Fai stopped and sheathed the sword after seeing Huang Kun's entire strength.
"Your sword technique is great, Senior." praise Xin Fai sincerely.
"Haha... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fool you, just that I felt your sword dance was so beautiful and I wanted to have it too."
"Swield dance?"
"Your movement has an uninterrupted movement pattern like a dance that uses a sword. Beautiful but deadly movement, that's what I think."
Xin Fai chuckled pettyly, she felt her Senior praise was too excessive. "Hahaha don't praise me too much, I'm actually just following this move from Lan An."
As usual when people asked about Lan An, Xin Fai would tell him the figure of the thug-like young man with passion. He still remembered Lan An very well, the Crescent Moon Kick that belonged to the young man was very beautiful and was still shadowed in his head until this second.
"Lan An, yes... I think I want to meet him."
After resting while chatting for a while the training resumed, Huang Kun considered this exercise to continue their battle practice in the Lotus Temple first.
Xin Fai did not lower his concentration at all, he did not open the slightest gap because he was serious about fighting. After half an hour of exchange attacks finally Huang Kun who was exhausted gave up.
"It seems like it's not time for me to defeat you yet" Huang Kun said with both hands resting on his knees, his breathing irregular with a tired face. He sat cross-legged for a while followed by Xin Fai. The night had gone, the thin light of the sun began to be seen in the eastern horizon.
"After this prepare yourself, Senior. We'll practice the Light Steps to get to the next City."
Huang Kun who was drinking until it sprung water from his mouth.
"Hey, I haven't slept all night and you're forcing me to do some more strenuous exercise!"
"Rest now, we'll practice in the morning. Haha,"
Xin Fai walked in an extremely irritating style, on the other hand Huang Kun could only smile. Despite not saying it directly, she had been motivated to be strong by Xin Fai all along. At first he felt Xin Fai was a foreign figure who came to the Lotus Temple, but after getting to know him further it turned out that the nature of the two of them was very suitable.
"I wish I could protect you when those hit men come." After saying so Huang Kun could only exhale while chugging the white water.
