Chapter 137 - A Slap in the Face (1/2)
Jiang Fei was not the only one who was surprised. Nekoda was even more surprised. These emotions of surprise came from opposite ends of the spectrum. Pleasant, and unpleasant.
His sword had clearly struck the boy's arm with full force. For some reason, not only was he unharmed, his treasured sword had also recoiled, as if he had just struck solid granite. Am I imagining things, or is this kid playing with black magic?
"F*ck you! Slash me again if you dare!"
Jiang Fei quickly found confidence in his invulnerability. He grabbed Nekoda by the collar and began to slap him really hard!
*Slap slap slap slap slap*
It did not take long for the ninja to turn limp.
Jiang Fei never stood a chance against one as competent as Nekoda. However, after that strange turn of events, any expert would be too startled to react accordingly.
As a result, when Nekoda was puzzled and lost focus, Jiang Fei managed to grab him. Jiang Fei had grown strong indeed, with his cheat source of power. A dozen of slaps later, Nekoda was disfigured!
"Baka!" Nekoda stirred to life again. He used his sword and thrust it right at Jiang Fei's heart. Jiang Fei's arm may be... Odd, but surely his heart was still flesh and blood, right?
*Ding*
It did not even make it past his skin.
"I'm taking that!" Jiang Fei reached out and grabbed the blade of the sword and started wrestling it away from the ninja.
"Mmm!" Of course, the ninja was not willing to relinquish his weapon without a fight.
"I. AM. TAKING. IT!"
Jiang Fei gave the sword a mighty tug.
"Fine! Have it!"
Nekoda quickly released the sword. He was not willing to expend energy in a pointless contest of strength. Jiang Fei was only grabbing the sword with one hand, but ninjas were only known for their speed.
Now, Nekoda was in big trouble. He had originally come to assassinate Jiang Fei. Now, Jiang Fei was grabbing Nekoda's shirt collar with his left hand and he held the shiny, sharp sword with his right hand. The assassin was now the would-be assassinated.
*Clap clap clap clap*
As Jiang Fei hesitantly held the sword in his hand, he heard the sound of someone clapping from behind.
"You're pretty skilled, young man!"
An old man leaped down the wall. He was dressed in a black tangzhuang[1] and a pair of cloth slippers.
"Err…"
Jiang Fei was too surprised to respond. As things were, he looked like he was committing armed robbery. If this old man reported it to the police, he would never be able to explain himself.
"Hoho, don't be afraid, young man. We're on the same side!" The old man smiled at Jiang Fei. Then, he pointed at the ninja and said to Jiang Fei, "If you kill him, you'll be in trouble. Can you hand him over to me? I can promise you that Japanese who attack others on Chinese soil would never get out of here alive!"
"Oh? You want him? Take him then! But I wanna know who sent him!"
He had to somehow get rid of this ninja. If he killed someone as a student, his heart might never recover.
