Chapter 454: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2/2)
With a somersault, Xiao Chen firmly landed on the ground. In the dark night, a white figure holding the Lunar Shadow Saber slowly headed for s.h.i.+ Feng.
“He really is a bladesman! It looks like the rumors are not wrong!”
“How unexpected! For the past few days, he has only been fighting to cultivate his physical body and close combat techniques. That being the case, is him using the saber where his true strength lies?”
When the crowd in the spectator stands saw the white-robed youth stand up once again, holding the Lunar Shadow Saber, they all gasped in astonishment.
It was hard to imagine that in this Rank A wrestling ring, Xiao Chen had relied on one of his weaker aspects to gain 99 consecutive victories.
Even if Xiao Chen lost this match, in the future, the name ‘White Robed Bladesman’ would spread far and wide in the southern group of islands.
A bladesman who only used close-combat techniques had obtained 99 consecutive victories. A feat that no one else managed to achieve before. From a certain point of view, this was already a miracle.
s.h.i.+ Feng frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen’s physical body was so strong, that he was able to endure her Profound Wind Chop and still have such strong aura.
Furthermore, s.h.i.+ Feng had not expected Xiao Chen to actually be a bladesman. It was astonis.h.i.+ng that his close combat techniques and physical body were merely a supplement to his true strength.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked at the mysterious girl wearing a mask. He said, “The nine secret techniques of Qingyun Peak have never been pa.s.sed down to outsiders. Who exactly are you?”
s.h.i.+ Feng said indifferently, “I do not know what you are saying. All you need to know is that I will defeat you.”
The moment s.h.i.+ Feng spoke, her figure flashed. A cool breeze blew and her killing Qi vanished. Her figure also slowly disappeared into the cool breeze.
“Clear Wind Chop…I know that as well!”
“Roaming Dragon’s Nine Transformations!” Xiao Chen’s figure trembled and immediately split into nine. Then, nine cool wisps of wind appeared in the wrestling ring, and Xiao Chen’s killing Qi also vanished.
At that moment, s.h.i.+ Feng, who was hidden in the cool breeze, finally understood why Xiao Chen could find her.
It turned out that this Clear Wind Chop could even be merged with a Cloning Technique. Xiao Chen’s attainments in the Clear Wind Chop was no lower than hers.
The nine figures headed towards a certain point in the sky at the same time.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, thunder rumbled nine times in the sky. It was the nine Xiao Chens executing Drawing the Saber simultaneously.
s.h.i.+ Feng revealed herself. Her expression was hidden by the mask, so she seemed unperturbed by what was happening. She swung both her swords at the same time and two crescent scarlet moons came out.
“Bang! Bang!”
A few clones were instantly struck by the scarlet moon and shattered, disappearing completely.
Peerless Lunar Shadow…unexpectedly, it was another on Qingyun Peak’s secret techniques. Xiao Chen smiled faintly, he was even more familiar with the Peerless Lunar Shadow than the Clear Wind Chop.
Xiao Chen merged the remaining clones together and struck out twice. The saber light contained the state of thunder, it was very resplendent in the dark sky.
“Break!”
Just as the two scarlet crescent moons were about to merge, they suddenly burst apart, unable to form a complete full moon.
When s.h.i.+ Feng saw the two crescent moons scatter apart, her expression under the mask became one of astonishment. To think that this Xiao Chen is so familiar with the Peerless Lunar Shadow as well.
Could it be that Xiao Chen knows all my killing moves?
Never mind; as long as I can get near, I can rely on my Twin Sword Flow obtain victory.
The look in s.h.i.+ Feng’s eyes became filled with determination. Her figure flashed, and she dashed towards Xiao Chen once again.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
Now that Xiao Chen had his saber in his hand, how could be commit the same mistake he did earlier and give her an opportunity to get near?
Xiao Chen created a screen of saber lights flickering with electricity. He relied on an attacking speed that was no lower than that of s.h.i.+ Feng’s and his exquisite Saber Techniques to keep his opponent at least two meters apart.
The Xiao Chen who used his fist and the Xiao Chen who used a saber were on two completely different levels. The more s.h.i.+ Feng fought, the more horrified she felt.
Xiao Chen’s close combat techniques might have been strong in her opinion but they were at best second rate. In terms of close combat, he did not pose any threat to her.
However, when Xiao Chen changed to a saber, it seemed like he was a completely different person. He had all sorts of exquisite Saber Techniques and complementary movements that worked very well with them. He was so skilled, that she could not see any openings.
No matter how s.h.i.+ Feng attacked, she was not able to break the screen of saber light and was held back at the two meters distance.
Xiao Chen made full use of his extended range, not allowing her to utilize the advantages of her short swords.
“Xiu! Xiu!”
Even after exchanging more than a hundred moves, s.h.i.+ Feng was still unable to get close to Xiao Chen. Her figure flickered and she tried to use the same method to get close to Xiao Chen that she had used the first time.
Herfigure moved up and down once more, creating countless identical figures. However, her true body disappeared and became hidden.
Xiao Chen smiled gently, “Do you think that the same move will work on me twice?”
A purple light flickered under Xiao Chen’s feet, and a purple flower bud appeared and enveloped him within.The sword lights that filled the air landed on the flowerbud.
The more sword lights landed, the deeper the flowerbud’s color became, and the stronger its petals. Within the flowerbud, Xiao Chen was quickly casting hand seals with his left hand.
“Wukui Blossoms!”
Xiao Chen shouted and the flowerbud immediately blossomed. A surging lightning-attributed energy poured out. All the surrounding figures of s.h.i.+ Feng immediately shattered.
Countless purple petals drifted into the night sky of the wrestling ring; it looked extremely beautiful.
“Dang!”
Xiao Chen turned around and knocked back the s.h.i.+ Feng which was trying to sneak attack him from behind.
Xiao Chen could quickly and clearly sense the location of the true s.h.i.+ Feng. Hiding within the cool breeze, in the petal-filled sky was as good as not hiding at all.
