61 Ha Ling in Action (1/2)
Ha Ling took out his dual sabers and attached them to his hips, keeping them ready for action at any moment. Ha Ling turned to dual saber wielder, after he received second saber techniques from Bai family. His attacks are more thorough and defense air tight.Since, he fights with instincts mostly he has good sense too.
Sai Mo from Sai family was a water attribute fighter too, he specialized in ways of swords. He is a 5th rank Martial Artist, that gave him confidence in fighting Ha Ling who was just a fourth stage martial artist.
Everyone wanted to know about strengths of Ha Ling. Even though they want to challenge Jiang Chen too, to get the courtyard number 1. They can't just challenge Jiang Chen directly. Jiang Chen was more than just a cultivator , he is a genius alchemist and weapon maker. Offending hims would just be a reason for other families to showoff. It is already unexpected that Xue WuXia challenged him, she has her own pride being a sky grade cultivation technique genius.
Sai Mo ”You seem pretty confident even though there was a level difference between us.”
Ha Ling ”It is only one stage level difference. It won't come to picture unless fight prolongs much longer. I have already killed plenty of 5th stage Martial artist bandits.”
Ha Ling ”Difference is only in experience levels, I believe I am ahead there. You can make your move first.”
Ha Ling practices Moon Spring saber technique combining it with a mortal rank technique still water saber, which adds defensive elements to it. He already reached a state of small perfection in three of this newly modified moves. Even Jiang Chen will have to give attention while fighting him.
Sai Mo ”Since, you are confident I will not hold back.”
Sai Mo 'Water piercing sword.' he charged with his sword straight, there was a line of water formed by the sword coming at Ha Ling at high speed. Ha Ling just calmly brought his left hand and took out his saber blocking the attack,'Water still as rock.” this is from second technique Still water saber.
Sai Mo was shocked that his attack was blocked so easily. They both lost their balance and moved two steps behind.
Jiang Chen was standing there simply just observing the fight. But, the fight of Ha Ling shocked one person more.
WuHen ”Sister. what happened?”
WuXia ”We are not the only ones who use those threads as medium. Ha Ling is using a very precise control, he also use energy threads for cultivation.”
WuHen ”You mean Ha Ling is a genius like you too.”
WuXia ”Jiang Chen is.”
WuHen ”So both of you were able to recreate an old cultivation method by yourself.”
Qingcheng ”Jiang Chen, that WuXia girl.”
Jiang Chen ”What happened?”
Qingcheng ”She also uses heavenly strands as cultivating medium.”
Jiang Chen ”I expected that, WuHen has very precise control of heavenly energy. I already suspected it. Now you are confirming it. Have you always been spying on them.”
Qingcheng ”It was Bing'er actually, she was feeling restless seeing her. ”
Jiang Chen ”Not you?”
Qingcheng ”There is no one that can challenge my position.” she said indifferently.
Jiang Chen ”Hmm, any idea what she is planning.”
Qingcheng ”She is trying to align with you and bring her sister to safety. She, seems to know few of your secrets, she already deduced you have ice attribute.”
Jiang Chen ”She is pretty good to deduce that. Anything else.”
Qingcheng ”Not being your enemy is first priority, she could already sense things from Bai Mo.”
Jiang Chen ” Bai Mo need improvements. What do you think about her?”
Qingcheng ”She is not fit for Natal Palace.”
Jiang Chen ”You mean you don't want her there.”
Qingcheng ”I don't care what meaning you take. Her face, she didn't use the pill you gave her.”
Jiang Chen ”Well I gave it to her sister. She might be thinking they are useful for her.”
Jiang Chen ”I will give her one.”
Qingcheng ”What ever I don't care about that. I am ordering you, you have to be in that courtyard only.”
Jiang Chen ”Are you expecting that I will loose intentionally to her.”
Qingcheng ”No. I was just hoping to win a bet with Bing'er.”
Jiang Chen ”And you ordering me, wouldn't it spoil the rules of a proper bet.”
Qingcheng ”Maybe, I don't know, I haven't participated in one before.”
Bing'er ”Jiang Chen, sister Qingcheng is out of control, she does this every time.”
Jiang Chen ”I told you this the first day itself, she is mean and all, you didn't listen to me.”
Bing'er ”So you know what you should do. You should loose the fight with her.”
Jiang Chen ”I am really curious on how you are communicating recently with out me hearing this.”
Mo Qingcheng ”That is our secret. We can't share it with you.”
Jiang Chen ”Are you challenging me to find about it.”
Mo Qingcheng ” Its not a bad idea? But what difference does it make. There is no need for such a name there.” she was completely confident saying that.
Jiang Chen ”Are you really Mo Qingcheng, you were not one bit like you used to be. You are getting more overbearing than me. Even I never behaved that blatantly ignoring all rules.”
Mo Qingcheng ”Yes,you have lot to improve. You will sure make progress.”
Bing'er was rolling on the floor laughing at their banter, they never get old at all. Mo Qingcheng always acts this way with Jiang Chen, even with her she shows some restraint but Jiang Chen is different. She always manages to get her way with him.
On the other side,it has already been ten minutes since the fight started and it crossed over 50 or so rounds already.
Sai Mo ”Both of us are not gaining any advantage, it will be extended fight, you still want to fight, you know my reserves would be higher than yours.”
Ha Ling ”Yes, that is true. You still want to fight. I haven't used my other saber.”
Ha Ling's other saber was still sheathed hanging in its position.
