623 Arrogant, Chi Guyan’s Sword (1/2)
”Attack at once?!” The young lad's expression looked horrible. In fact, he had never looked so bad ever since he came to meet his master in the Black Moon Island.
His master had informed him earlier that he had to greet the special guest when it arrived.
And he had followed whatever he was instructed to do, as he had treated her with utmost respect. He did not even reject the idea of exchanging the Snow Mountain Spirit with the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
He was indeed doing his best to be a good host.
But...
A bottle of Snow Mountain Spirit and a favour to be traded for a bundle of Black Moon Island's Thousand Years Fire Herb, that sounded really ridiculous.
More importantly, she actually resorted to using violence, once the negotiation was off?
That was even more unbelievable.
”Alright, special guest, are we really doing this?” The young lad tried to hide his anger while appearing polite in front of her.
”Yes.” The girl nodded her head, as her expression remained unchanged.
”If it's that case, pardon Ah Bu for being rude, I will use this Dual Blade to defend your five strokes. If you cannot defeat me in just five strokes, can you leave here on your own?” Ah Bu heard that and pulled out the Dual Blade, one black in colour and the other in white.
Five strokes.
That was how the young lad showed his way of hospitality.
It obviously meant that if the woman in front of him could take him down within five strokes, it would mean that her power was on par with that of his master's.
And for that, he would naturally retreat.
On the other hand, it would also mean that the lady shouldn't have overestimate her power if she ended up being unable to defeat him. Leaving here would be the best solution for her.
The young lad did not think much about whether the lady would choose to leave eventually.
After all, it wasn't his business anymore.
”Alright.” The lady's crystal clear eyes scanned up and down around the young lad before nodding to consent.
”Ok then, special guest. You can make your move!” The young lad made a cross with the Dual Blade in front of his chest after as she agreed. There were two rays of black and white light emitting from the blade at the same time.
Although the lady in front of him was only 17 years old.
He did not look down on her at all. In fact, he treated her with caution.
Afterall...
The guests coming to Black Moon Island were of no average status.
Ah Bu's face was filled with dignity.
His eyes opened widely with ferocity as the dark horizon suddenly brightened up.
Or, it was not that the horizon had brightened up. Rather, it was the sight in front of him that had brightened up.
Shimmering rays of brilliance surrounded the girl as she charged towards him instantly, not providing any hints before.
It was a direct strike.
But it was for this direct strike that caused Ah Bu to feel strange and different. It was not about the pressure of the strike, but it contained an indescribable feeling.
It certainly couldn't be described purely by words.
Ah Bu attempted to dodge even though he had prepared to defend the strike forcefully. But he thought otherwise when he saw the strike from her.
But he had already been attacked.
He was not sure if it was due to the fact that his body's motions had been locked, or that the strike was just too swift for him to leave him time to react and move away.
In any case, the strike had already landed on his chest.
It went around the Dual Blade in front of his chest, between the blades and into his chest.
Ah Bu felt a gust of horrific strength exiting her pale palms momentarily. The force entered his chest, and went straight into his internal pulses and veins.
”Peng!” A sound began ringing beside Ah Bu's ears.
Then, his bodily motions completely went out of control as his feet was lifted off the ground. His body flew up backwards into the air.
It wasn't far, as the distance was only about 10 feet.
”Boom!”
Ah Bu's legs softened immediately and he kneeled on the floor uncontrollably.
Beats of sweat came trickling down from his forehead, and there was disbelief in his eyes. Because the lady did not seem to be as powerful as his master physically.
But yet he could not handle the one strike from her.
How could that happen?
Ah Bu did not understand the weird situation that he was in just now. Why did he suddenly lose all his defensive awareness momentarily?
It almost felt like a sudden sneak attack from behind, without any prior preparation.
But he obviously did prepare himself for this, as he was as vigilant as ever, and did not let his guard down even for a moment.
But reality was that the lady had still struck him in the chest.
”Ding Dang!” The Black and White Dual Blade dropped on the floor, emitting a light crisp sound.
He was flung black for a fairly short distance, and it was obvious that she did not use her full strength. In fact, it even seemed as though she was showing mercy.
Showing mercy?
Defeated in one stoke!
Impossible.
Even his master was incapable of this.
How did that happen?
Ah Bu's eyes were bright red with bulging veins. He fixated his vision on the lady, and her pink dress was indeed outstanding.
”You.... You're the one from the Heaven Dao Pavilion...” A name flashed across his mind. While this person rarely appeared in public, but in terms of fame, she definitely did not lose to any in the Sanctuary.
This person became popular four years ago.
She was only thirteen years old at that time, with average manners. It can even be said, from certain perspectives, that it was forbidden for her to step into the Sanctuary.
But, she did, and she went into the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.
She was even invited personally by the Pavilion Leader into the Pavilion.
It was certainly against the rule in the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, but nobody dared to rebuke to any of these. Furthermore, all the strong fighters in the Heavenly Dao Pavilion were summoned to gather for a celebration, which lasted three days.
Since then, this name had spread around in the Sanctuary.
”My name is Chi Guyan.” She slowly withdrew her palm, her bright eyes looking at Ah Bu silently but her voice sounding calm and peaceful.
Ah Bu's mouth moved as he attempted to say something. But nothing came out from it, as his eyelids felt extremely heavy, to an extent that he could not support them.
The light in front of him gradually turned into darkness.
Obviously this darkness was not referring to the darkness in the night sky.
”Dong!” Ah Bu's body fell on the ground. Initially he was still looking as though he was unwilling to give up, but that expression had totally disappeared now.
Because he had heard the words from the lady.
”My name is Chi Guyan.”
