Chapter 26 The Three-headed Six-Armed Person Danced with Her Lance (2/2)
The sound box's effect was really good. I could even hear Liu Shuai’s laughter. Then I used the Sliding-over-the-water Art to ”run” and in the same time shouted, ”I got it, shut up!”
In that split-second, I understood the difference. Last time, my body's condition was different, so I could use that grimoire to increase my speed dramatically in an instant, but this time, I didn't consume any energy yet, since Zhang Chi Hang had helped me, so I naturally couldn't use this kind of mysterious technique that required castration first.
That was going to be troublesome. As I walked, I thought, what other martial arts could I use to fight with Xiao Hong's speed? How about a different angle, I did not need to compete speed with him? As I though about that, I seemed to get a plan.
”Hey, you little thief. Why are you biting your finger when you're hiding from me?” Hong Hai’er held onto the Flame Spear and chased after me while piercing through, but he couldn't hurt me at all. He could only rage in his heart as he thought something like how could he meet such an eccentric opponent today, those previous opponents either beg for mercy or ran aways after losing in fight, but this guy was really mystical; he did not admit lose or fight back, but used peculiar magic tools to fly and doge him. Beside, his spear was so fast, but not able to hit the opponent.
Xiao Hong was indeed formidable. He continued piercing his spear as he spoke. When he said ”little thief”, he picked, stabbed, and thrusted for thirty-six times. When he said, ”why are you biting your finger”, he had already stabbed for sixty-four times, and it was obvious that a round of thrust and retraction consumed the most amount of inner strength. Generally, the spear arts were thrusting, slapping, patting, blocking. For Xiao Hong to be able to use this kind of skill in an instant, not to mention his mana, his martial arts must reach an extremely high level.
I felt a little awkward. I have this bad habit of biting my finger when I was thinking about something. Just then I habitually bit my finger when I thought. What a disgrace! I actually exposed such a vile habit as I fought with a deity. What would others think of me when they knew about it? However, I secretly admired Xiao Hong's martial arts.
Later on, when I got another chance to chat with Xiao Hong again, I found out that although Xiao Hong was scolding, he was secretly shocked in his heart as well. The whole world did not know the true ability of the Great Saint Infant King and only knew that he was famous for the Samadhi True Fire. In fact, his Fire Controlling Technique was merely his third strongest skill. The second was his martial arts. But, speaking of the eighty-one true fire spikes, no one had been able to dodge it since he cultivated that technique. Thus when he found I, a nameless brat, had such great martial arts, he secretly appreciated it in his heart. It was a pity that this man ruined his business. Avalokitesvara was not a threat. Although he had powerful mana, his marital arts was so bad. However, the one in front him was skilled with such as strange moving technique. If he could not put him down, then this guy might make huge troubles later by furtively attacking him.
When Xiao Hong mentioned this to me later, I chuckled to myself. He didn't know that I could only defend myself, unable to mount a sneak attack. Actually, I could only dodge him, how dare I launch a sneak attack?
But at that moment, I didn't know what Xiao Hong was thinking. I changed the direction of my sword, also my steps and sword techniques, then murmured lection.
Xiao Hong was stunned, ”what spell is this?” However, he did not stop attacking me with his Flame Spear.
At that moment, my mind was completely clear. I shouted softly, ”Du Gu Nine Sword, Descending Sword Style!”
The sword technique I used changed. The previous one was learned from Zhang San Fengs’ Tai Chi Sword Technique, the main point of which was to avoid the enemy’s strength. I placed my Water Sword on the back of Xiao Hong's spear, and drew circles along it, which seemed like strands of silk that were wrapped around the spear, in order to attack the solid form with void arts. However, my fighting style this time was to start late while arrive first, and attack the spots that the opponent must save. As Xiao Hong had just thrusted out his spear, I didn't even think before thrusting my sword towards his wrist. At the same time, I stepped on the astral step. My body slanted slightly, and I dodged the spear in a way that normal people wouldn't be able to imagine. Since the aftereffects of the spear had already ended, no matter what he did, clapped, retracted, his wrist would still be struck by my sword, just that the severity of the injury was different. I had never thought of this move before, but just subconsciously stabbed forward when I saw his spear coming towards me. After Xiao Hong found it’s impossible to retract his attack and noticed the change in my sword technique, he was astonished, while his move also stopped. However, he was indeed a good spear user. Since he could not avoid my sword from hitting his waist, he immediately flipped backwards and avoided my attack with the lightest price. This move was extremely dangerous, and when I saw this move of his, I couldn't help but secretly admire him for that. If I was in the same situation, I would have definitely been hurt and could not find any way to dodge.
Unexpectedly, this ”Water Sword” of mine seemed to be his nemesis. This sword seemed to have sliced against his wrist lightly, but there was green smoke coming out from there. When Xiao Hong was flipping in the air, his other hand did not stop but pierced forward his Flame Spear a dozen times, and a wall of fire seemed to appear in front of me. I knew that he was using a strategy to retreat with advancing, and he was afraid that I would take the opportunity to attack while he was still in the air, thus he avoided the solid but defended against the void, which caused me to stop attacking naturally.
After Xiao Hong flipped over in the air, he immediately retreated and maintained a safe distance between us as he stared at me with a pair of bright eyes.
