Ninth Gold Arrived
Clang! Clang, clang!
In the ice cave full of cold wind, Happy and the Dharma protector quickly switched places. The shadows of a sword and light from a saber intersected with each other in the air, but neither party was injured.
Even though the Dharma protector with the silver aber was a little surprised that Happy was still able to fight, after the short exchange of blows, he became even more certain that Happy could not circulate his true qi, and his qi realm had fallen to Life and Death Realm. He was basically relying on moving about in a small area and the sharpness of his divine weapon to ingeniously parry the attacks.
"Hmph!"
Even though the Dharma protector was incredibly astonished, he still sighed in his heart, because the Murong Clan had taken in an amazing genius, but as time passed, he could obviously feel that the unforgiving chill in the extremely cold cave was affecting his body even more.
He snorted coldly and attacked again.
Happy dodged to the side without being harmed, even though the process was full of suspense and danger.
He needed some time to fully circulate his true qi, but the innate attributes and the nimbleness of his body bestowed by the mastering of Nine Yang Divine Skill, along with Happy's rich experience in fighting made it easy for him to protect himself. The strength of the Dharma protector with the silver saber had decreased by a large degree compared to earlier.
Right then, he was at most a normal martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm.
Happy did not care about the harsh weather in the extremely cold cave. He used Small Reversion Pills to quicken the speed at which his organs and qi recovered while he stared at the Dharma protector's actions so that he could predict and block his attacks.
"You're just asking for death!"
The wrinkles on the Dharma protector's forehead became deeper, and he moved faster.
Even though Happy wanted to immediately recover, the slash earlier had delivered too great of a shock to his organs, and the depletion of qi by Silver Light Arhat was just as astonishing, so it was very difficult for him to recover within a short period of time.
He could only keep fighting against the Dharma protector in the extremely cold cave and search for flaws in the saber momentum, which had already slowed down. He used fast strokes to fight against the Dharma protector's slow slashes and made the Dharma protector unable to bring out his full strength.
After half a minute, the two men had exchanged more than one hundred moves.
Happy acted just as usual. Since he had lost both his body fortification and equipment, he had to pay full attention to handle the Dharma protector, and he was very cautious, not daring to take even one wrong step.
He paid full attention to shifting, moving, positioning himself, attacking with the sword, thrusting, performing a rotating thrust, and slashing diagonally.
All of them were simple moves that did not contain any qi.
He just relied purely on his Arm Strength and Body Movement to fight against the Dharma protector.
Since Happy was under great pressure, he did not know that the Dharma protector was already filled with amazement. He noticed that he had been handed over the initiative to attack, but the fight was controlled by the youth.
Happy did not notice it at all.
He only knew that he had to seize the only advantage he had, which was his speed. He had to take preemptive strikes continuously, so the Dharma protector would be unable to effectively execute his attacks and threaten Happy with everything he had. Like that, he could fight for more time to recover his qi.
Happy had a solid goal, and as time passed, his sword technique seemed to gain spirit. It became faster and even more proactive.
Every time Happy attacked, he targeted the spots the Dharma protector would definitely protect, and he fused it with the special characteristic of Bright Sword Technique, which was predicting the enemy's strikes. He attacked his enemy ahead of time to control them and throw them off track.
A few minutes passed like that.
Happy did not know how many slashes he had executed nor that his speed was slowly increasing.
Soon, a system notification rose in his ears.
"Ding!
"Congratulations! Increased Universe's Lightning Destruction Style realm. It has now successfully entered the fifth realm."
Fighting against a Myth Realm elite in a unique environment had finally stimulated Happy's potential, which increases his technique's level by a lot within a short period of time.
Every increase in the realm of a Moksha Realm martial art was equivalent to the increase of two realms of a Life and Death Realm martial art.
The unexpected system notification brought Happy great surprise and delight.
But he soon composed himself and continued attacking with his sword.
His main goal for coming to Sky Demon Secret Cave had been to practice his sword, but using a martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm as a sparring partner was definitely not as fast as sparring with a Myth Realm martial artist.
It was a good chance he had found himself, and he could not miss it.
His qi had already recovered, but he had grasped an even faster way of training. He did not have his qi circulate through his body, but continued using the same fighting style to fight against the Dharma protector with the silver saber.
The Dharma protector had already been forced into a fight against Happy.
Under the unique environment in the extremely cold cave, it was impossible for him to leave the battlefield uninjured. Besides, the Dharma protector was an arrogant person. There was no way he would allow himself to retreat in a one to one fight against someone younger than him.
Even though his lips were pale, the Dharma protector gritted his teeth. His silver saber continued executing dazzling saber glares to clash and parry the sword momentum that came at him like thin bolts of lightning.
Swift sword slashes would usually pose no threat to him, and he could break them with one slash, but not only was the youth's divine weapon of high quality, it had also been refined with an extraordinary method, which made it rather strong. It did not lose to the silver saber in his hands.
Besides, Happy was very cunning. There was no qi when he attacked, which was why he did not give the Dharma protector any chance to fight against him head-on. Whenever the Dharma protector attacked, he used his ingenious body movements to fight back and force him to retreat.
He tried to seize the initiative back a few times, but he lost it very quickly and was pulled into Happy's rhythm again.
Slowly, the Dharma protector discovered with great helplessness that Happy's sword grew faster with every slash. He was half naked, but he did not fear the harsh cold at all. He seemed to have an endless supply of energy.
The longer the battle lasted, the more Happy could fight to his heart's content.
He was no longer parrying for the sake of parrying the attacks, but seemed to be enjoying the feeling of fighting.
The Dharma protector occasionally revealed weaknesses in his attacks, and in his fear, he would activate his body fortification, but Happy did not even spare his weaknesses a glance. He just continued with the rhythm of what he previously did.
'Sparring... '
The Dharma protector was so livid that his beard trembled.
He, a Myth Realm martial artist, was treated as a sparring partner by a junior of an aristocratic family.
Finally, the thought of leaving rose in his mind.
It was not because of the humiliation of being treated as a sparring partner, but because the cold poison kept invading his body, and his body became increasingly slower. It was becoming harder for him to attack. Even his weapon felt as if it did not belong to him but had become an icy blade whose chill seeped into his bones.
He was worried that if he did not leave but continued dragging out the fight, it would be too late for him to leave later.
COMMENT
At that moment, a faint shout suddenly came from outside.
"... are you?!"
When the Dharma protector with the silver saber, who had originally been very anxious, heard it, he instantly looked as if he had been given a dose of calmness. Strength returned to his body, and he became filled with vigor.
The silver saber released an astonishing saber glare and destroyed the sword light in front of him. Then, it crashed into the ice wall and released a clear, loud sound.
Happy was stunned silent.
His expression changed!
The Dharma protector with the golden saber had noticed that the situation was not right and rushed over. He could no longer drag out the fight!
The moment the Dharma protector with the silver saber notified his companion of his location, Happy instantly spread the qi from Nine Yang Divine Skill through his body. He flicked his wrist, and the sword glares that were like lightning bolts moved faster and with an even fiercer momentum. They intersected with each other in the air, and for a period of time, slashing sounds of sword qi cutting the air could be heard nonstop!
