70 Ying vs Fu Kang! (1/2)
She dashed towards him and reached him in the blink of an eye. An eruption of blue flames exploded from Kang's body, nearly freezing Ying's blood solid. The pissed off young girl smashed her fist into her opponent's chest, leaving a fist imprint on his chest along with a few shattered ribs as he flew across the garden. Seeing that her punch landed made her feel good. That mystic flame of his was dangerous if she kept using void qi in this fight, even now she still had blue flames on her body slowly freezing her.
She wasn't skilled enough in using void qi to defend against the blue fire. All she could do was displace the fire from directly touching her skin. But this wasn't good enough to face Kang's flames. The icy temperatures didn't need to touch her for her body to be frozen by it. Void qi was too different from fire qi! Ying felt like she was trying to use an entirely different style of martial arts! Since she was a swordsman, this situation felt like she was trying to learn how to use a spear for the first time!
”Change back idiot.” She hit her fist on her sword, causing it to spit up the spirit ring from before.
A tear leaked from the giant sword but Ying ignored it as she ignited herself on fire. The familiar embrace of the blazing and uncontrollable fire qi raging through her body made Ying feel like she was right at home. Her long bright orange hair turned into flowing flames, the pupils in her eyes resembled a burning fire, and her huge sword transformed into flames in the shape of a sword. The icy flames that were freezing her body started to be overwhelmed by Ying's flames and in no time, her body was back to normal. Her eyes wandered over to Fu Kang, expecting to see him unable to move at all.
But what she found was the boy rapidly shoving fruits and plants in his mouth. She could visibly see his body rapidly healing from the spirit herbs.
'That little bastard!' Ying ran towards the recovering pervert to stop him. She lifted her blade over her shoulder in preparation to crush him!
Ding! A black figure clashed with her sword, saving Fu Kang from her blade. He continued shoving food from the garden into his mouth as Ying tried to overpower the strange black person. It could contend with her sword with some black flames covering its fists. The flames felt the same as Kang's icy flames from earlier. If this was all it had then Ying would have no problem cutting right through it! She used her qi to fuel the blazing hot flames coming off her body to overpower the cold fire trying to freeze her.
Ying's flames stopped the coldness from affecting her but she still couldn't cut through this thing! The flames around its fist were far more concentrated than she thought they were. She doubted she could burn this guy into ashes even if she used all the qi in her body! His flame techniques were on a completely different level than hers. Trying to best him using her flames alone was impossible and Fu Kang was nearly completely healed by now!
”I don't know how you assholes are so gifted at training fire-natured marital arts but I don't just have my flames to rely on!” Ying jumped backwards and got rid of her flames.
She entered her sword stance from the Giant Blade Manual and focused all her attention of the shadow. The previous fiery aura seen from her was gone. In its place was a swordsman. A swordsman that could cut mountains in half with a single stroke of her blade. A swordsman whose attacks are as heavy as the heavens themselves. A wielder of a blade that has foregone speed, precision, and defense in favor of an overwhelming unstoppable offense.
Ying disappeared as the place she was standing was destroyed and turned into a small crater. She leapt into the air with her sword was raised over her head, it was coming down on the shadowy figure with the force of 1000 boulders. The shadow was forced to dodge and Ying let herself be pulled by her sword after splitting the ground in two. Fu Kang was forced to retreat from the garden lest he wanted to fall into the small chasm made by Ying. Ying flipped forward and half spun to swung her sword to strike the crouching figure. The shadow dropped face first into the ground to dodge the strike. Ying was taken by the momentum of the blade and turned into a deadly top! The ground was deeply carved by her blade as she spun like a tilted top to cut the shadow.
This was the second style from the Giant Blade Manual, Moving With The Blade. The core of this style was to not control the sword but to follow and understand it. Unlike the first style in which you control the blade and strike with domineering strength. Mastering the second style would allow her to learn how to react to any attack that comes towards her blade.
The shadow frantically dodged on the ground as each slice was enough to cut off an important part of its body. The shadow leapt off the ground and focused all the flames around its palm. It chopped towards Ying's throat, intending to eliminate this threat inside its master's world. But its killing chop failed, Ying's blade met the knife hand before it could get close. The blade slowly started to slice into the shadow's hand, forcing it to release a mass of black flames to escape.
Ying set herself ablaze to get rid of the freezing flames and quickly ran back after the shadow. She could feel its panic as she was right under it, giving it no time to deal with its injury. It tried to release the flames once more to get away but she wouldn't let that happen. Ying unleashed a large flame from her palm, negating the cold flames and sending the shadow away on fire. At this close of a range, it was impossible for it to have dodged her attack.
