Chapter 620 (1/2)
Swords Out (1)
“Come here, you’ll do your test with me,”
In the training arena, a master said that to Ye Lang. He seemed like a master, from his aura, where he was standing…
Well, it seemed like he was a master!!
He was in fact, one of the better-skilled guards in Ha De house, a level nine warrior.
“If I defeat you, does that mean I pass?” asked Ye Lang blankly.
‘This place is so weird, why do I need to combat with people before I meet them?’ thought Ye Lang.
“Haha, yes but let’s see how you do first!” laughed the master. He thought Ye Lang stood no chance against him.
Many at the arena thought the same too.
“Let’s begin!”
Ye Lang bowed at the master and signalled him to start.
“You want me to make the first move?” asked the master. The master was shocked, he didn’t expect that.
Throughout the selection process these few days, he was always the one waiting for the other to make the first move. No one had asked him to attack first!!
“Yes!” replied Ye Lang.
“Are you sure?” asked the master again.
“Yes, or else I can’t start!” said Ye Lang. He was telling the truth. The Nine Dugu Swords was a special move, if the opponent doesn’t make the first move, he wouldn’t be able to use it.
Of course, Ye Lang could force the opponent to attack by taunting them but he doesn’t want to waste energy doing that. He planned to finish this in one go and meet Migen soon after.
“I’ll show you then!!” The master was a little pissed off. He wanted to teach Ye Lang a lesson for his attitude.
“Go ahead!” said Ye Lang calmly. His hand wavered around the hilt of the sword.
The master was even more angered when he saw this. He had a strong desire to properly beat up Ye Lang.
“Hiya!!”
A storm of strikes came rushing at Ye Lang that felt as strong as a tornado.
A few of the other guards thought the master was too harsh on Ye Lang, he would surely get injured by the master.
However, it was good for him to be taught a lesson, it would fix his attitude!!
As soon as everyone thought that Ye Lang would be swallowed by the “tornado”, something unexpected happened. The storm stopped.
“Ah…”
Everyone stared blankly at the reason why the guard stopped. Right at his neck, a sword was pointed at it, if he moved just a little, his throat would be sliced in half.
Any sword, as thin as they could be, placed at that position would be deadly. No one would doubt a sword as thin as the one Ye Lang was holding wouldn’t be able to kill the guard.
