Chapter 156: Never Trust A Woman (2/2)
——
After a little over an hour, the second round of the fight was about to begin. At this point, the audience enthusiasm was twice as much as the previous fight.
Because Liu Li had finally appeared.
As a disciple with a well-known big accomplishment as well as Spirit Sword Sect’s most powerful trump card, Liu Li’s popularity was overwhelmingly strong among the disciples; even w.a.n.g Lu, as the other Successor couldn’t even be compared to her. Holding a lightweight sword, she floated onstage accompanied by cheering screams that looked like they could penetrate the clouds.
”Senior Sister Liu Li, we love you!”
”Em, hehe” Liu Li turned around to smile at them. Her colorful long skirt danced like rosy clouds.
”Senior Sister Liu Li, you can do it! Show them what’s what!”
”Um!” The girl nodded hard and made a fist.
”Senior Sister Liu Li, we want to see Brilliant Sword Heart!”
”Ok!” The girl made a ‘no problem’ gesture, smiling like flowers.
...
Meanwhile, on the other end of the platform, her opponent Lu Qiancai revealed a slightly sneering smile.
‘What an arrogant Senior Sister Liu Li ~ yes, your strength is really high. Even Senior Brother could only have seventy percent winning chance against you, while my chance barely reaches thirty percent.’
‘But, thirty percent chance of winning is not a low figure. As long as I can plan appropriately, victory is not unusual.’
‘The two of us are still in the low-level Foundation Establishment, and there’s basically no gap between our magical power. Liu Li relied on nothing but what is known as top rate immortal method comparable to that of ancient immortal sword method, the Brilliant Sword Heart. However, considering the extreme characteristic of the sword method, as long as I prepared well ahead of time...I would not be powerless against it.’
‘In order to cope with your Brilliant Sword Heart, I have spent a full day preparing for it. Perhaps Third Senior Brother or even Second Senior Sister don’t have the means to prepare for this situation. Thus, I was selected as your opponent, and that’s your bad luck.’
Not long after, the two Sects’ Elders climbed the platform, and after a quick confirmation and verification, they announced the start of the match.
Almost at the same time, with a chuckle, Liu Li dashed through the platform toward the opposite side. Her colorful long skirt appeared like a gorgeous rainbow as her sharp sword thrust toward the opponent.
Lu Qiancai’s Jade Mansion greatly shaken. He instantly felt an impending doom coming right at him. When the young girl’s dexterous hand thrust that sword straight forward, on the outside, it was not a significant move at all. However, through his primordial spirit’s perception, it was like a burning sky and boiling sea of flames, and it seemed like its sharpness could split the heaven and earth apart.
This was the immortal level fiery sword art. With Brilliant Sword Heart supporting behind it, its power was beyond imagination. The sword and the true fire perfectly blended. This strike seemed impossible to block. Even if it were his Senior Brother, it was also impossible to completely block it.
However, rather than try to dodge nor escape, Lu Qiancai seemed indifferent. No one knew whether it was because he was caught off-guard or confident.
The next moment, when the fire sword had almost reached his forehead, Lu Qiancai circulated his magical power and spread out a dozen of talismans and ignited them, so that his body turn incorporeal. The sword just pa.s.sed through him while Lu Qiancai was completely unaffected by the sword and the fire!
At the same time, each of Lu Qiancai’s hand held a piece of ominous, gloomy talisman, and his smile was ferocious.
That was the moment that he was waiting for! In order to prepare for her fire sword, for the whole day yesterday, he especially prepared the countermeasure. He used the life essence and blood and turned them into a dozen of talismans with various effects like blurring his body, resisting the sword, turning his body into flame, and so on.
Only a master of talisman had the ability to do this; through long term planning and preparation, in exchange for a moment of amazing power!
Although under Liu Li’s astonis.h.i.+ng sword power Lu Qiancai’s talisman’s amazing effect could only last for a short time, it was enough for him to make a comeback. As his Senior Brother Zhan Ziye said, although Liu Li’s offensive was extremely powerful, her defense was not as good. When she struck her sword against her enemy, her flaws immediately revealed themselves; if he wanted to win, he must seize this opportunity!
‘When I activate these two gloomy ghost talismans and throw it at you, the winner will still to be decided!’
However, the next moment, Lu Qiancai was startled.
A dark blue ethereal sword came thrusting at him like a flying immortal. An inexhaustible billow subsequently engulfed him.
As a learned disciple of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Lu Qiancai immediately recognized that this was the sixteenth layer of the limpid water sword, which was also a type of sword that his prepared talismans couldn’t handle.
‘d.a.m.n, why did no one ever say that this Liu Li has two kinds of swords…?’
