You bastard, is this how you plan to deal with me? You demon! Do you have any idea how scary an hysterical woman can be! Damn it, as soon as I get off this stage, I’m going to punch you so hard you’ll see the stars despite the sun still being up!
As he thought that, Fang Lu gulped and hurriedly summoned the ‘fake’ scroll. He screamed in his head and wanted to go back in time and kick himself in the balls for not having brought the Martial Way instead.
Why was he so worried?
The answer was lying right in front of his eyes: her eyes glowing like a demon’s flaming orbs, her robes fluttering madly despite the lack of wind and her ferocious grin as fierce as that of a bloodthirsty beast!
You bastard Fu Yin, open your eyes and I’ll show you exactly who is going to surrender!
“You have a powerful attack? Let this sister show you exactly how I don’t give a fuck about it!”
With the wave of her hand, a mighty shield appeared by her side, an oak depicted on top of it. Indestructible! Unmovable! It gave off a feeling that only a god would be able to break this shield apart!
“You have a sturdy defense? Open your eyes and see if you still dare utter such words!”
In front of Xiao Wu, the air trembled and a black sword seemed to split reality apart as it appeared out of nowhere: a fierce blade, completely black, with the design of a bloodthirsty dragon coiling around the handle!
“Or perhaps you think you have superior reflexes? Tell that to the soles of my shoes!”
Above, in the sky, the sun suddenly twisted as it turned into a purple moon! As purple moonlight shone down, the girl’s eyes suddenly glowed violet as a dense fog roiled around her feet.
The weapon of a death god, the shield of a war deity, the ability to make the day into dusk! The Black Dragon Sword, the White Tree Shield and the Purple Moon had been removed from the girl’s Pseudo Core and were revealed for the world to see!
All out! It was as if a dam had just been plugged open, Xiao Wu spared no effort into etching her domineering figure into the mind of the shocked audience!
Swish!
Before anyone could say anything, the hovering Black Dragon Blade disappeared and reappeared in front of Fang Lu’s forehead…
“Gha!”
Dodging at the last second, Fang Lu broke into cold sweat as the sharpness of the draconic blade seemed to wound his soul simply due to its presence!
The blade however didn’t wait for him to regain its cool…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In what looked like a beautiful dance, Fang Lu dodged each and every blow! Despite his chubby body, was Fang Lu agile? Of course not! He would not be able to dodge forever! Unless…
Up in the sky, five lines of ancient words were shining down upon the stage… Fang Lu bellowed as, one by one, those five lines all lit up!
“A Wind!”
The first line shone with a glowing, green light, looking extremely imposing!
Blowing Above!
Scarring the Earth Below!
Slashing the Almighty Heavens Apart!
Forth Comes the Hurricane that Steals Lives!
However, as for the four remaining ones, they were all trapped within the youth’s throat as he had to stop the chanting to jump out of harm’s way.
The Black Dragon Blade once more attempted to slash towards Fang Lu’s body, but the youth, whose speed had been enhanced, even if only slightly, due to the winds, was able to jump out of harm’s way.
Once more, five lines lit up:
“A Fire!”
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
The first line once more glowed with fiery light…
To Burn Tall!
A Pillar of Destruction!
It Shall Devour the Land!
The Earth But A Sea Of Flames!
“Cough!”
And, once more, the remaining four lines all grew dark again, as only a pillar of fire burned for a moment before disappearing…
Fang Lu wiped the blood trickling down his cheeks as he lifted his gaze:
Xiao Wu shook the blade in her hands and then tightened her grip on the Black Dragon Aura Sword. Behind her, the White Tree Shield glowed with unparallelled might as what looked like a faint white armour began to cover her whole body…
Swish!
Slash!
Just as the Black Dragon Sword appeared out of nowhere again, dashing towards Fang Lu’s body, the girl kicked off the ground and slashed with the black sword’s Aura counterpart.
Fang Lu found himself in quite the dilemma: he could not use his five-chant-long abilities, because it would only take a moment for the two black swords with a dragon depicted on it to impale him through and through!
However, if he kept going like this, under the fierce assault of the flying sword’s surprise attacks and the girl’s head-on charges, he was doomed to fall sooner or later.
Had the young girl always been this powerful? This strength was something that made him want to cower, a single blow would be able to destroy him in both body and soul!
What’s more… the pressure she emitted was such that it could possibly rival even the Reverend stage! Was Xiao Wu a Reverend stage expert?
What the hell is up with this boost in spiritual power!?!
“You bastard…” As he dodged left and right, using what little was left of his wind-attribute, boosting his speed, to evade the oncoming attacks, Fang Lu couldn’t help but release his pent-up frustration against the man, he assumed, was behind it all!
“Fu Yin, by angering this demon, are you fucking trying to kill me?!?”
Slash!
Swish!
No matter how much Fang Lu struggled, he could barely dodge Xiao Wu’s blows: if the girl charged from the front, he could be sure that the flying sword would already be dashing towards his defenseless back.
He simply had no time to return the blows! He couldn’t even attack back! Let alone retaliate, he was having trouble simply dodging!
He gritted his teeth as he glanced in Fu Yin’s way: the white-haired youth was laughing so hard that foam was forming around his mouth.
A vein popped on Fang Lu’s forehead as his expression finally turned serious. With a feral howl, the chubby youth suddenly turned in midair and stomped on the ground!
Xiao Wu’s eyes suddenly widened as she dodged to the side and erected her White Tree Shield. Every cell in her body was screaming, and she soon found out that it had been a good choice to trust her instincts!
The whole world seemed to stop as space bent: a silvery blade formed, hovering just a few feet away from Fang Lu. This blade gave off a feeling of incredible sharpness, as if it could split mountains in half with but a light swing!
Slash!
Clang!
The White Tree Shield and the metallic blade had clashed! A dense fog rose, blocking the view for the members of the audience!
The blade had shattered, however Xiao Wu had been forced backwards a few steps! Scratch that, she had actually been blown back for at least a dozen feet, out of the mist!
Fang Lu’s voice suddenly rang out:
“Once I am done with this, let alone punching you, fucking blue-eyed asshole, you’ll be thanking your mother for not having given you a pair of extra balls for me to crush!”
The fog dispersed and the chubby youth’s figure appeared. When the eyes of the audience gazed upon the scene below, they were immediately astonished.
Why?
Because, around Fang Lu’s body, there where countless symbols swirling about. They were all copies of a single symbol. Composed of two parallel lines, it was none other than the character for Metal in the Pāramitān language!
It was a single character, yet there were so many copies of it that the chubby youth’s figure could barely be seen!
Just as the shards of the broken blade dissipated, one of the many symbols grew dim and disappeared…
At that, the crowds gasped: that attack… could it be that terrifying blade that had appeared out of nowhere had actually been just one of many? A single blow had been able to blow Xiao Wu back for more than a dozen feet, what would happen if all of those blades were to attack at once?
Quantity over quality? Of course not! The fierce metallic blades were pretty abundant in both quantity AND quality!
In the middle of that ocean of swirling symbols, Fang Lu was panting and looked completely spent. A long gash dripping with blood went from his left shoulder all the way down to his right hip: that had been the sacrifice required for him to set up his counterattack.
He couldn’t hope to dodge both blades, so he was forced to receive the attack of the Aura Sword head on, just barely managing to avoid getting cleaved in half, resulting in the bloody wound on his belly.
As he hugged his chest and groaned from the pain, Fang Lu gritted his teeth and swallowed back the curses:
Fucking assholes… had I used my Martial Way I would not have been forced to such a state! Fortunately, I can still do voiceless incantation up to the First Tier!
The chubby youth turned to look at Fu Yin. The lifeless pair of blue eyes glinted with amusement as the man’s lips parted:
“Having fun?”
Hearing the white-haired boy’s words, Fang Lu’s face became dark and his expression grew sour. His mouth twitched as he gritted his teeth so fiercely that a creaking sound rang out:
Fu Yin, you bastard, I nearly died back there! If I get out of here alive, I’m gonna fucking rape your ass with somebody else’s dick!
