Chapter 196
It was a surprise for Yun Xiao too. He never thought he would really run into Jiang Chen.
He saw Jiang Chen in the ring from the beginning and knew the latter was in the beginning of the middle stage, just like himself, so the next thing he observed was his martial arts technique level.
Judging from his performance, his knife method was nothing worth mentioning, so Yun Xiao was quite confident. He glanced at the sailing ship in the air before jumping into the ring.
“Apprentice Brother Yun Xiao looks very confident,” Princess Fragrance noticed. She was surprised, since if she were him, she would be extremely nervous. After all, they had had conflicts before. If she lost, it would be humiliating for her.
However, that wasn’t the attitude a practitioner of martial techniques was supposed to have, so Princess Fragrance hid it well.
“Sure. He doesn’t have the help of his monster now. Apprentice Brother Yun Xiao will teach this arrogant guy a good lesson!” Liu Peng hadn’t forgotten the shame that Jiang Chen had brought on him by sending him flying. He wished he could kill the latter immediately.
In the ring, Yun Xiao smiled and said proudly, “Don’t you think it’s a pity? You only have one fight to go to qualify for the next round, but you ran into me.”
With the structure of the ring, when he was facing Jiang Chen, there was almost no room to dodge the latter.
Whoosh!
As he advanced, the radiance of the sword swept through the whole area.
Pah!
When he threw the sword out, the fierce wind contracted, but when it couldn’t contract further, the air current exploded once again.
This time, the power turned into visible light and bled out around the ring.
“Now you should know my power.”
Yun Xiao smiled. He had exerted the sword movement to the fullest and was sure Jiang Chen couldn’t have dodged it.
“Alas, another sword movement for class-two spiritual swords.”
However, Jiang Chen’s voice came from behind once again. He stood there, frozen. He looked back and couldn’t believe what had happened.
By then, many people had burst into laughter. They had to laugh, since it was really funny that this guy’s all-out attacks had been dodged so easily.
Princess Fragrance frown turned deeper. Although she wasn’t skilled in martial arts techniques, she could see Yun Xiao was at a disadvantage.
“Princess, it’s still a physical movement. It doesn’t mean he has the strength to exchange blows with Apprentice Brother Yun Xiao.”
Liu Peng was sweating because he was nervous. After the explanation, he shouted down, “What’s wrong with you? Are you going to keep jumping here and there throughout the whole competition?”
The square was erupting with noise, but since he was in the air and had shouted loudly, many people heard him.
“Exactly. Do you dare exchange blows with me?!”
Yun Xiao came to himself. His eyes were red with anger. He kept staring at Jiang Chen.
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Jiang Chen brandished a scimitar in his hand. Although he was wearing a mask, people could see how casual he was acting.
Ah!
Yun Xiao snarled and made another attack.
“Chasing Wind Sword: Cloud of Dragon and Wind of Tiger!”
This was his most powerful sword movement. He needed the success of this attack badly to regain his confidence back.
Clang!
But this time, he couldn’t exert his sword movement at all. Jiang Chen threw his knife out and the sword movement was cracked.
He panicked, then he started to regret having asked to exchange blows with Jiang Chen.
Every attack Jiang Chen made was preemptive. He had an overwhelming advantage over Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao kept stepping back until he reached the edge of the ring.
“This… this…”
On the sailing ship under Princess Fragrance’s suspicious gaze, Liu Peng couldn’t find anymore excuses.
