Chapter 144: 144: The Fight Continues

The blade glowed bright green as Alex prepared to unleash the second strike of the Elusive heavenly sword. Meng Yun got serious when she saw this. Apparently, she could tell that the strike was going to be strong.

Her flute immediately changed tone as she started to play an even more aggressive sound. Qi built up right in front of her, threatening to fly off at any moment.

Alex took one step forward and with a single slash let go of the energy in his sword, sending a green slash flying towards Meng Yun. At the same time, Meng Yun as well let the pent-up energy lose, and the aggressive energy flew off towards the green slash.

As expected, a massive boom appeared right in front of them, sending shock waves towards both of them. Alex somewhat stood his ground, while Meng Yun had to take a step back.

'Is he stronger than me?' Meng Yun was shocked. She had expected herself to be stronger in general since she thought she had the higher cultivation, yet, he was doing very well with the fight.

She immediately got even more aggressive. A sudden shift in tone caused a bullet-like energy projectile to be sent towards Alex. Alex barely managed to dodge the projectile, when another one arrived. He shifted his body to dodge that one as well when the next projectile arrived.

One after another, multiple energy projectiles were thrown at Alex who was starting to get more at ease with the dodging thanks to the Elusive Heavenly Sword's evasion footwork.

'Dammit,' he thought. 'My blade is low graded so I can't use my attacks to their full potential.' Up until now, he had been fighting opponents that were weaker or equal in cultivation base as him. Each time, he had used his mortal grade sword that was enough to fight against his opponents.

However, against Meng Yun, who was a realm higher than him, in fact, a minor realm higher even, the blade wasn't as effective. Wen Cheng and Luo Mei watched from the side, still wondering where the match was gonna go.

"Do you think little brother can win, master?" Luo Mei asked using Spiritual sense.

"Hmm… tough to say, it seems his skills aren't enough to break through Meng Yun's own counter-attacks. Even the 3rd strike of the Elusive heavenly sword shouldn't be enough for him to disrupt Meng Yun's momentum in any way. Especially, since he doesn't have a wood-type superior spiritual root."

Wen Cheng thought for a bit and said, "Although, if he had the same grade weapon as Meng Yun's flute, he might be able to win quite easily. Also, there are a few techniques he isn't using yet which would give him an obvious advantage. You could even say that he is fighting with both of his hand's behind his back."

Luo Mei's eyes turned wide when she heard this. "Huh? Haven't you given little brother a proper weapon yet?"

Wen Cheng shook his head as he said, "Ma Rong suggested that I teach him fighting without any external help. So, I gave him a common mortal-grade sword and hid his relation to me. That also helped him from getting into trouble with the other elder's disciples."

"Not really. That merchant Huo's second son is already after little brother for quite a while now." Luo Mei said.

"Huo Zemin's son, what was his name? Huo Tu. What does he want with Yu Ming?" Wen-Cheng asked with a confused look. He couldn't understand why someone like Yu Ming would be in trouble with a scum like Huo Tu.

"From what little brother told me, He tried to buy little brother's pill for 10 spirit stones, and when little brother denied it, he got angry. Apparently, he has sent a few of his lackeys after little brother, but the little brother has been able to take care of them easily." Luo Mei said.

"He never told me anything about it," Wen Cheng sighed as he said that.

"There was no need to, master. If little brother needed anything, I could have just interfered." Luo Mei replied.

"I guess so. Still, making everything in the sect available to one with spirit stones doesn't really work well some of the time. We get scums like Huo Tu who only know how to flaunt their parent's money and gather lackeys to do their tasks for them. He's probably never been rejected in his life on anything. Sigh, if I could, I would remove him from the sect right here and now."

"Alas, due to our trade with Victorious Snow merchant group, it's impossible. I can't understand how Huo Zemin can raise two children completely different in personality and talent." Wen Cheng sighed quite a bit.

"Let's forget about such matter, master. Tell me more about what you said about little brother." Luo Mei asked, trying to change the subject.

"What I said about Yu Ming? Which part?" Wen Cheng questioned.

"The part where you said that little brother is still not using quite a few techniques. Is that true?" Luo Mei was truly curious about this. From her perspective, her junior brother was having trouble with the fights, but if what her master said was true, then that might not have been the case.

"Oh yes. Let's see if the 5 techniques I have already given to him, he is only using 2 of them. And he is also not using a single of the techniques he learned back in Hong Wu Sect. Some of those would have the match over within seconds. He probably doesn't want that and is only trying to fight properly" Wen Cheng explained.

"Although, if he isn't going to use any of the other techniques, he might end up losing soon. Hopefully, he doesn't do that," Wen Cheng said while shaking his head.

Luo Mei brought her attention back towards the match that was taking place between her junior brother and her trusted aid, Meng Yun. She then mumbled to herself, "Can he really win against her?"

She would find that out very soon.
