48 Chapter 48 – Wu Tian Jian (2/2)

Wu Tian Jian's attacks were unpredictable like you are in complete darkness and you won't know where the attack will be coming from, and you have to be ready to defend from all sides. Zhu Xuan got attack from all sides and the angle of the sword attack was also bizarre; one attack was a thrust, next was a slash and then a stab and then he smashed with side of his sword.

Zhu Xuan had a hard time defending it with one sword so he formed a fire Qi sword and started defending and attacking at the same time, but his attack didn't get through the unpredictable attacks of Wu Tian Jian.

Zhu Xuan increased the speed of his attacks and one attack got through his sword style, but he dodged the attack easily using his bizarre movements. He realized his speed is not enough to attack Wu Tian Jian and thought it is time for him to surprise Wu Tian Jian with his second elemental root.

He silently activated his Swiftwind Silent steps and moved behind Wu Tian Jian in a second and smashed the sword at his back. He changed his Fire Qi sword into Blazing flame fist for the follow up attack. But he was stunned by what happened next; his attack was blocked by a dark barrier.

He immediately moved back avoiding an attack from Wu Tian Jian while wondering ”How did he put up his defense that fast; I used a fast sneak attack at his back, but he still able to predict it and use his defensive move. Is it because he has lots of battle experience or is there something special about his defensive technique?”

While thinking, he tried to move in different directions and attacked Wu Tian Jian with both of his hands with swords. But however fast he attacked and however unpredictable it was, Wu Tian Jian was able to defend all the attacks easily and respond with his own attacks.

Zhu Lang, who was sitting at the stage, was shocked by both of their talents and fighting power. He felt pressure on looking at the both of them fighting in the arena and decided he should either kill or subdue them once they reach the academy.

The crowd looking at the fight was flabbergasted and they all thought only one thing ”Both of them are monsters; one has dual elemental roots and the other has darkness elemental roots and his attacks are too weird and unpredictable. They are only at tenth level but their attacks are stronger than most of the twelfth level disciples”

If they knew Zhu Xuan had Seven Phases elemental roots, they would have spewed blood in shock and anger.

Zhu Xuan also had his own thoughts while attacking and dodging ”The attacks and movements of Wu Tian Jian is already unpredictable but his defensive barrier is even more so; it's like its alive and moving on its own to defend him from getting injured.”

He tried attacking various sides but his attack didn't get through at all. He got angry and finally decided to use his movement technique at full speed. He put down the sword and used fire Qi in both hand to use various type of attacks in different angles, but however he attacked he was not able to land an attack on Wu Tian Jian at all.

He finally realised the only way to defeat Wu Tian Jian is by exhausting his elemental Qi without giving him any change of absorbing more Qi.

The fight went on more than half an hour and Zhu Xuan was able to exhaust Wu Tian Jian of his elemental energy by flurry of non stop attacks. Slowly, his attack speed and movements got slower and slower and finally he fell down and sat with exhaustion. He looked up at Zhu Xuan and said ”You are a monster; don't you feel tired at all?”

Zhu Xuan smiled and said ”You are one to say, your attacks are way too unpredictable. I enjoyued the fight.”

Wu Tian got up and said ”I lost. I look forward to fight you again”

Both of them looked at each other and laughed loudly; they shook hand and Zhu Xuan said ”Me too.”
