Chapter 8 A Battle Of Wits (1/2)

A killing blow ! Lin Xuan's face darkens, she

is even more ruthless than he expected…

Gritting his teeth Lin Xuan faces it head on, and takes a step backwards, barely managing to dodge.

Whoosh, the flying sword misses, and hits the cliff wall behind him, the force

of the blow causing numerous pieces of gravel to break off from the top.

Zhou Yan is stunned, she could have never imagined such a novice would be able to evade her attack. Lin Xuan didn't run, but instead the instant the attack was over made a move of his own, somehow causing himself to sink into the ground.

Zhou Yan in her anger and surprise, involuntarily started walking forward, as  Zhou Yan begins to walk forward slowly trying to figure out what was going on, and on her third step, she hears a loud snap, and a huge net drops down onto her from above.

Zhou Yan however is not surprised by this and tries to control her spirit power to break free from the net, but at that moment  the ice ball Lin Xuan shot out sinks into the ground and cuts into a rope hidden at the base of a tree, as soon as the rope broke, Zhou Yan saw two wrist thick bamboo spears flying towards her.

”No...…”

As the sound of her screams fade,her face turns pale, as the bamboo spears tear into her chest, without even having a chance to run, she dies.

With unwilling eyes, her hands tighten on the treasure that she killed her master for, but after two minutes later her soul fades away, soon after Lin Xuan pulls himself out of the hole in the ground, and as he watches her body, he sighs, simply because she underestimated him, she failed to keep her guard up.

Lin Xuan from the moment he was found, had been trying to figure out how to get rid of her, not just blindly trying to escape, as this cliff is miles from the school. If he had tried to escape, she would have easily caught up to him and killed him, as her cultivation was higher than his, her speed with the Light-Wind technique would also be incomparable to his.

Tying to escape from troubles, or even begging for mercy, Lin Xuan saw such acts as useless, the only way to survive, is to kill the other person before they kill you, and at first glance that seems like an impossibility for Lin Xuan, as even 100 Lin Xuan's are no match for Zhou Yan.

But she gave him no choice, and so long as they are the enemy anyone can always be outsmarted.

Of course, thats easier said than done, if he were not as level-headed as he was, he would have had no chance to succeed.
