Chapter 885- No brotherhood (1/2)

Duke Luo Xun looked towards Baili Ning like he was his savior, ”General Baili you are Her Highness Pearl's teacher, why not... Why not you teach my irresponsible kid a lesson? I really can't let him charge on the frontlines, but this kid is so persistent that I really have to worry about him.”

Baili Ning cupped his fist and said, ”Marshal, what I train in is strategy. I am not skilled on the battlefield itself, please forgive me as I am not a match for him.”

Luo Xun was speechless, ”This... Who else is there? Does the Empire not have a single skilled general?”

Louis held up his broken wrist and said, ”Marshal, Violent Thunder Army's General Les' skills are really good and he was the best in the military academy as his sword technique was unparalleled. If Marshal really wants to squash his arrogance, then why not let General Les spar with the Little General?”

”Okay. General Les, I will depend on you!”

Luo Xun looked toward Les and said, ”There is no need to use Douqi, just pure battle of skills, is that okay?”

Les smiled, ”Don't worry, I won't hurt the Little General!”

As he said that, Les slowly unwrapped pulled out the soft sword by his waist. The Tian Ling City blacksmiths were really skilled; they actually knew how to craft such a weapon. Les also seemed like a really gentle and reserved person and he was said to be the most affectionate person in Tian Ling City. One would know that he was skilled just by looking at the way he pulled out his sword.

Lochlan smiled. He held his sword and took a step back, then his legs sunk down a little and he stored up some energy. There was no fear in his eyes at all as he grinned, ”To be able to spar with General Les is an honor. Come on, there is no need to show mercy. Otherwise, you might really lose to my hands!”

Les exhaled. He raised one hand and the energy blew across, Douqi seeping out of his body. This skill was really profound, however, Lochlan's sword techniques were also really exquisite. He didn't say anything as he held up his iron sword let it dance about. With a”peng”, he destroyed Les's probing attack and then swiftly slashed out three times!

Les' soft sword was like a venemous snake, and he slashed out three times to block Lochlan's attacks. With a sidestep, he dodged his opponent's next strike. He swiftly swept across his soft sword which caused Lochlan to raise his blade to block against it. Who knew that the soft sword was extremely tough? While it was blocked, the tip of it still curved and stabbed towards Lochlan.

”Hit!”

Lochlan was really skilled and courageous enough to actually use his palm to smack away the sword tip. With a ”pa”, the soft sword was smacked away and he kicked forward with his left foot, leaving a clear footprint on Les' war leggings.

”Ah?”

Les was shocked and he stumbled a few steps back. The sword returned back to his sheath as he cupped his fists, ”Marshal, I am not Little General's opponent!”

Luo Xun was astonished, ”This...”

Lochlan was a little gleeful, cupping his fists as he smiled, ”Father, now can you let me go to battle?”

Les stood there ashamed. He raised his head and looked towards Luo Xun, ”Although I am not his opponent, Marshal, there is still one general here who is really skilled in the sword fighting and he might be able to defeat the Little General.”

”Who?”

”Royal Army General Li Xiao Yao. The Blood Giant Kehl from the Hybrid Demon Territory died under his sword. Let General Li test it out — maybe he can really do it.”

”Good!” Luo Xun said firmly, ”General Li, please teach my son a lesson. If you can defeat him I will definitely reward you!”

I frowned. Les wanted me to make a fool out of myself right now, didn’t he?

These NPCs had no idea about how strong my sword skills were. However, it was Les who realized that Luo Xun's son was really skilled. So, he wanted me to lose face in front of everyone to cut down my arrogance. However, I had to win even more so!

”Keng!”

The Dragon Reservoir Sword came out of its sheath. I didn't take the Zhen Yue Blade out after observing Lochlan's skills since I knew that I could beat him with just one weapon!

”Royal Army General, I won't show mercy!” Lochlan laughed and dashed out, his blade thrusting forward beautifully.

I held up my Dragon Reservoir Sword diagonally and exquisitely pushed his sword to stab towards my back as my legs shifted to the side. At the same time, I elbowed his chest.

”Ah?”

Lochlan was slightly stunned, and he quickly used a palm to block it. At the same time, he pulled back his sword and slashed three times in a row at a really tough angle. This kid had learned from many sword masters. If not, he couldn’t possibly have reached such a cultivation level. Luckily, his opponent was me. As I held my Dragon Reservoir Sword horizontally, I then gave a spinning stab. With a loud ”keng”, I locked onto his sword. This was the Song Feng Sword Technique's Sword Wrapping Stance.

Along with it, Lochlan had already lost his balance and I could tell this kid had lost his cool. He used a palm, letting Douqi burst out. He used Douqi attacks to try to break free of my sword.

I also added strength, activating [Holy Domain Strength] as I smashed out with a fist.
