The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
66. Chapter 66: The Duel That Reverses the Current (9)
Gu Ruoyun stood still and looked at Hun Fei. He's staying quiet.
"Aww, are you scared?" Ling Xi laughed mockingly. "Take the duel then! Keep that miserable life! It's not that it doesn't make me sad, seeing the daughter of the late Gu Tian become a helpless coward. What a shame to your relatives! In fact, I'm almost glad that your parents died a long time ago, or that the cause of their death might be due to shame!"
He really enjoyed stabbing her.
The temperature around Gu Ruoyun started to decrease due to her words. When he looked up, his eyes were coated with a layer of ice. "You will regret your words! I signed the waiver!"
"Repent?" He pursed his lips in annoyance. "Pronounced by someone who already knows that they will regret their choice later. I'm guessing what happens when you don't have a father and mother to raise you is that you'll grow from an uncultured brat into an arrogant person. "
"Seriously", he thought to himself. "I've become a Martial Soldier. Who does this woman think she is?"
Hun Fei looked at the two of them, then declared, "After signing the affidavit, the duel will begin!"
The two did as they were told, signing the waivers given in one confident gesture after scanning the contents briefly.
Luo Yin pushed her way forcefully through the crowd but the crowd was already riled up by the turn of events and it made it difficult for her to even move an inch. He could only look towards the fight with worried frustration.
"Gu Ruoyun's. The only reason why I gave you a defeat that wasn't too embarrassing was just for Gu Shengxiao's sake!"—
Even before he finished his sentence, a white lightning bolt flashed, Ling Xi's sword had already unsheathed and split towards Gu Ruoyun. The blade quickly approached his head but he managed to dodge at the last millisecond.
HIT IT!
Ling Xi's body seemed to be flickering as she sped towards him. Closing the distance between himself and Gu Ruoyun, his hand tightly grasped his sword. Black light ribbons sliced through the air as cold killing intent was released from each sword attack.
He shifted and ducked. Each attack looked as if it would be a death blow to Gu Ruoyun, yet she managed to dodge everything just in time — it really started to upset the man. A Martial Soldier who couldn't even attack his opponent? Especially when so many people are watching! How would people respect him now?
It's shameful!
"Level 6! He was already at the sixth stage of the Qi Gathering rank!" Someone from the crowd exclaimed in admiration.
Isn't that the famous Gu Ruoyun useless? How did he gain that much strength and reach the sixth level of Qi gathering? Sure, it wasn't as big as Ling Xi's growth but it was still quite shocking, especially with her notoriously bad reputation!
"Pffts. Justjust please. Level 6 Qi gathering, so what?" Hun Fei sneered at what he considered an overreaction." With that trash skill, he was not even acceptable into the Weapon Refining Sect. Anyone from the sect, even the cleanser who worked with the broom, was already a Martial Fighter."
To Hun Fei, anyone who was still firmly entrenched in the Qi gathering lineup was too unreasonable to be taken seriously. His only real goal - his mission - in the Azure Dragon Kingdom is to find the host of the greatest warrior spirit that has ever graced this land. He could not find the chosen one.
"Happy to evade, don't you think! Playtime is over. I'll end your little game right now!" Ling Xi flaunted her teeth furiously. His aura surged and storm clouds began to form above him.
"Hmmm...." Gu Ruoyun thought to herself, her brows furrowed. "If it's not wrong... The technique he trained was —"
"- LOOK, LITTLE GIRL!"
In the deepest part of his soul came Zixie's alarming warning.
