70 Battle to the Death? (1/2)
As the sword was shown to the world, the thirst of blood permeating from it. The weaker cultivators felt their entire body numb. They could see what happen but their bodies were instinctively afraid of the red-blood sword.
”Just to make this clear, if I won this battle, I will replace Reka in the Ascension and if I passed all the test, my spot in the Central Region shall be given to her,” said Lyon to the head of the clan while gritting his teeth.
”Sure, I will allow it,” smiled the woman.
”Don't get cocky kid, You will not live past this hour,” said the elder.
”Well since you both are eager to battle then,” the woman clapped her hand and followed by a gong sound.
The elder moved in a swift manner and approached Lyon in a defining speed. He intended to end the fight with just one critical blow.
*clank
The elder's thrust met the red-blood sword but the force was instantly nulled. Scarlet didn't even budge receiving the incoming attack.
Seeing his swift attack didn't work the elder quickly jumped back to a safe distance. (That sword is really tough)
*flash
The elder's pupil shrink in astonishment, there was a horizontal cut on his left cheek. (How!?) thought the elder as he looked at Lyon who still standing in the same spot.
”tch.,” wiping his blood, the elder started his onslaught once more.
*clank
Once again, the sword only met scarlet as his cheek had another cut.
”Mist art! Mist of Maze!”
Slowly, a thick mist condensed the entire arena, enveloping both Lyon and the elder. The crowd couldn't even see their figure in the thick mist, even experts had a hard time.
”Mist of Illusion,” contemplated an onlookers
”That's right, by using the energies around you, you could make a mist just like a spell. But nevertheless, the impact is still a far cry froman actual spell,” said an observant
”But the ability to make your enemy blind of your attacks is still a critical value,” said another.
Inside the mist, Lyon was standing still and not moving at all. (This sword absorbed my vitality like a torrent!).
The elder was taking his time hidden in the mist, observing Lyon's every move. (He is not panicking? Maybe he is just scared and gets numb. Hehehe this will be over in a flash).
”You are wide open!” the elder made a silent jump toward Lyon's open back.
*clank
(Impossible!) thought the elder as he bewildered by the outcome. His sword was once again met with Scarlet. However, what he was stunned the most was because Lyon didn't even turn back when he made the block.
*flash
There was another cut on the elder's face. Once again the elder hid in the mist.
”Mist Bullet!” the elder thrust his sword and launched a mist bullet toward Lyon's back head. His accuracy was truly among the best in the clan
*block
Once again the attack got block by Scarlet.
*flash
Another cut appeared, but this time it was not on the face but rather his right arm.
(Gah! Why am I the one getting a cut out of nowhere! What is he?!) the elder started to get impatient.
