85 Xun Weis Swordsmans Instinc (1/2)

Deep in the dark 'Hollow Forest', the stench of blood polluted the air, and the corpses of beasts littered the ground.

In the middle of all of it there was a girl in her late teens sitting in the lotus position with her eyes closed.

She was devastatingly beautiful, the kind one might only see once in their life.

Although she had a very gentle and honest appearance, her imposing airs made her nearly unapproachable for ordinary people. And despite having so much blood around her, there wasn't a single drop of blood on her.

She was a celestial fairy surrounded by the aura of death. This girl was none other than Xun Wei.

Almost 400 meters away, three inner court disciples and a core court disciple were on the hunt for tier 3 beasts when the Core Court disciple, Chu Piao, found something peculiar.

”Wait,” Chu Piao instructed the 3 inner court disicples.

The three inner court disciples looked at their senior with a confused look before following his gaze, what they saw immediately made their eyes shine brightly.

”It's her!” One of the inner court disciples shouted in surprise.

Despite the look of excitement on the 3 inner court disciple's faces, Chu Piao looked around Xun Wei with knitted brows.

”She's alone. How could her senior be so negligent of their duties?” Chu Piao said.

What he didn't know was that Lei Xinyi was actually close by. The reason why he wasn't able to detect her was because she was using a special technique to hide her presence.

”Senior Brother Chu, could it be that you've never heard of Young Miss GhostBlade?”

”Ghostblade... what kind of name is that.”

”It's what the outter and inner court disciples call her.”

Chu Piao was one of the strongest core court disciples in the sect, but he would only come out of seclusion whenever there was a major event or if he needed to assist his 3 assigned inner court disciples with their training.

After hearing what his inner court disciples had to say about her, Chu Piao quickly understood why they all looked up to her.

”So, that's how it is. Either way, its foolish for her senior to leave her alone in a place like this.”

Suddenly, something Chu Piao saw made his lazy eyes opened widely just before his figured disappeared. He was heading straight towards Xun Wei as fast as he could.

Seeing that, the 3 inner court disciples followed.

”He's so fast!”

”What did you expect from a Profound Body realm swordsman?”

Chu Piao covered nearly 25 meters in less than a second.

'I need to go faster,' Chu Piao thought.

Suddenly his legs began to pop and crackle as he prepared to execute a movement technique. Not too far infront of him, a ghost like silhouette appeared, obstructing his path.

”Brother Chu,” the mysterious woman greeted him.

Suddenly, the sound of a sword being unsheathed tickled his spine, so he stopped and jumped back. Getting a better look at this woman he finally realized who it was

”Lei Xinyi. Is that girl your inner court disciple?”

He wasn't afraid of Lei Xinyi. Truth was, he never acknowledged her as a real core court disciple because she didn't go through the same tests like the other did.

However, seeing her now made him frown. Although she was much weaker than him, she wasn't nearly as weak as he assumed.

”Brother Chu, I must stop you here. I can't allow you to interrupt my inner court disciple's training.”

Lei XinYi's smile was beautiful, but something about it seemed threatening.

He didn't put her in his eyes at all, but he still agreed to not proceed any further.

He turned his attention back on Xun Wei to see what kind of training she was doing but the moment he did he saw two tier 3 beasts already circling her.

The two tier 3 beasts could be seen closing in on her position. They looked like a mix between a silver furred hound and a hyena. Their limbs were slender, but they had a height of nearly 3 meters.

Upon closer inspection, Chu Piao noticed that Xun wei was actually completely covered in bruises, but her breathing was still steady.

As the two tier 3 beasts circled her, she didn't show any signs of fear, instead she seemed extremely confident so much so that she didn't even open her eyes.

Suddenly, one of the beasts attacked, pouncing directly towards Xun Wei, but as soon as it crashed down on her position, she was seen a few meters away, sliding backwards as she stood.

Chu Piao was surprises, she moved much faster than he thought possible for a Body Refinement realm cultivator.

Instead of retreating or taking out her sword, Xun Wei didn't move as she placed her hands comfortably behind her back. She acted as if the beasts weren't worthy opponents for her and that infuriated them.

”Isn't she being too arrogant? Those tier 3 beasts are above her current cultivation. If she doesn't fight them seriously she will certainly lose.”

Hearing Chu Piao's comment, Lei Xinyi simply ignored him and continued to watch Xun Wei.

The beasts attacked again, but this time they both attacked her at once, but the moment they did, she closes her eyes and dodged their attacks.

Her body was light and nimble as she moved around, but only a few seconds passed till she was finally hit.

She put a hand on her stomach as she slowly got up. She was clearly hurt, but she shook it off as she put her hands behind her back again.
