Chapter 199 - Arrogant Rascal (2/2)

In what made for a dazzling sight, the gleam of Shao Nansong’s sword had already surrounded Chu Jianyi.

However, Chu Jianyi did not even blink despite him being surrounded as such. There was not even the slightest change in his gaze as he just continued staring indifferently at his opponent.

At present, he resembled an unmovable rock. So calm, so steady.

“Clang!” a crisp sound rang out. Chu Jianyi had moved his blunt sword. The motion was just a simple wave. It did not look fast, nor did it look powerful, yet in no time at all, it was able to block Shao Nansong’s quick sword which had moved as rapidly as the wind.

Ling Chuxi let out a light gasp. Although other people were not necessarily able to detect the subtle brilliance that lay within Chu Jianyi’s deflection, Ling Chuxi could. She could tell with this move alone how strong he was in terms of grasping battle opportunities and in controlling his Battle Qi. His speed was perfectly controlled—not a second faster, nor a second slower. His strength too was perfectly balanced—no more, nor less than was required.

At this moment, Shao Nansong himself also realized just how fearful his opponent was. With a battle cry, he instantly rushed forward at Chu Jianyi once again.

Martial Shadow Five Illusions and Five Shadows Seven Illusions. Shao Nansong’s two consecutive moves made seven illusory swords appear around Chu Jianyi. Shao Nansong’s sword whooshed through the air, generating a sound that was like the cras.h.i.+ng of waves. It was as though the air itself was being ripped apart by the motion of his sword as a twisted light appeared. And in the light, Shao Nansong’s slender figure appeared even cooler and suaver than before.

Around them, all the lovestruck idiots started shrieking in excitement. Battle Qi Level 8. So, this was what Wind Cloud Academy’s number one expert’s skills with Battle Qi Level 8 abilities looked like in action.

However, despite being surrounded by such an overwhelming illusory attack, at this moment, Chu Jianyi’s disposition remained as stoic as an unmoving thousand-year rock. A rock that stood firm no matter how mightily the waves crashed and how unceasing the gales of wind that ravaged against it.

“Clang, clang!” Another two crisp metallic sounds of swords exchanging blows rang out. Just as before, Chu Jianyi remained calm without being nervous, nor slow, nor did he react with a disproportionate amount of strength as he made two deflective moves. Both were timed and executed just right to block Shao Nansong’s quick sword.

“Your three moves are up. You have lost,” announced Chu Jianyi indifferently. Immediately after he spoke, a strong and mighty energy emitted from his body and his plain figure suddenly appeared to be extraordinarily big, tall and st.u.r.dy.
