Now, the only fight was Duan Qiu versus Li Zhan and Wei Xinya...
But could it be really called a fight? The both man were with cuts all over the body...
And with blood flowing down, they both looked as if they went through hard battle.
Li Zhan who didn't truly want to fight immediately noticed that Di sibling have ended their fights. But with their condition, they wouldn't help them...
'Should I just pass Li Rong's ring?'
The young man thought! But he also did some tricky thing! He has put half of mythical beast's resources to his own Space Ring.
'Heh, I am not like you, you gorilla!'
Li Zhan sneered inwardly. Then, he turned his gaze to Wei Xinya. The man was truly like gorilla with his robust body and long hair that went all the way to his shoulders. His clothes just like Li Zhan couldn't be called clothes anymore as they had so many cuts and blood stains. With every second, Wei Xinya fire balls got slower and slower...
As if he knew that he has no more chance, the young master used every remaining magic to release his technique. The hot air around him became hotter and his fire balls stopped. Then, those balls started getting bigger and joining together. After a while, three big fire balls appeared! They were size human's head and went towards Duan Qi, albeit slowly...
"They are going to lose." said Miss Gu as she sat on the ground. Her wounds were healing by using medicines from her family. Her guards and disciples were behind her, looking after her!
""Yeah.""
The ones who answered her were Xie Tao and surprisingly Di Shui. Next to him was Di Xun. The four youngsters sat next to each other as they healed and chatted... Was it because they haven't fought to death? But Xie Tao and Di Shui became as close as brothers!
The guards and disciples quickly adapted because of the same reason. Since most of prodigies fights have ended, they also ended their skirmishes. Protecting their young masters from wanderers was their main job.
Then Di Xun took out her lunch box. Smelling this, Miss Gu turned her eyes to Di Xun who was already eating.
"Little Miss Di, did you make it yourself? Smells good! How about your share a bit with big sister?"
"No!"
Seeing her like that, Gu Xinyi just shook her head with smile. Then, it was Di Shui turn!
"Oh, Little sis! Since when have you started cooking? Share with your big bro!"
"No!"
'Ehhh, why?'
As he watched her sister eating elegantly, Di Shui thought that there must be a reason, she has started learning how to cook. Anyway!
They saw three fire balls going towards Duan Qiu. It was Wei Xinya's last attack as they felt couldn't feel any magic around him!
"He wants to lose with dignity. How cute."
""Yeah.""
They followed the fire balls with their eyes. Although it was filled with a lot of magic, they didn't think it would do a lot of damage. Rather, it would hurt his pride...
Duan Qiu began her move! As she arrived before the fire ball, she unleashed her first slash! It was as if the hot pressure was non existent as she leisurely raised her sword!
First slash! Although, she slashed once, the ball got cut several times... and disappeared!
Second slash! And the same thing happened... the ball disappeared from several cuts...
Third slash! It made Wei Xinya technique to completely dissipate as he fell on his knees.
""...""
The young prodigies that were resting got dumbfounded...
'That easy?!'
Miss Gu tugged Xie Tao shirt as she whispered...
"Has she always been this strong?"
"...You know, she has changed... both personality and strength wise..."
Duan Qiu obviously hasn't been expressionless ever since birth. She used to smile and hang out with her friends. But from past 3 years, she became someone who only covet for battle. She nearly had killed her fellow disciples several times making a nickname for herself!
'Red-haired Sword Demoness'
And ever since then, she has become isolated like lonely swordsman looking for power...
The woman raised her sword at Wei Xinya, but didn't swing it down! It was because she could feel someone's piercing gaze locked on herself! Looking far away, she saw the young man looking at her. He was tall and his black eyes were slightly covered by his dark hair. He wore plain shirt and pants, but the air around him was as if noble, or even more... With his head high, he was slowly moving towards her.
The wanderers who saw him couldn't take their eyes off for a while. It was the same for noble's forces. He who has entered the 'arena' stole the spotlight with his presence.
"Ah!" Little Miss Di opened her mouth slightly!
Xue Ren! The young man influenced by Superbia, Sin of Pride had the air that looked down on everyone... He has accepted her only for one day yet her influence was this much! But he didn't find it bad! In fact, Xue Ren could use this 'pride aura' to intimidate others.
Duan Qiu who saw him felt her heart beating a little faster! This feeling! She hadn't felt this in a while! Knowing that her next opponent is strong, she made a rare smile!
"Are you really that Red-haired Sword Demoness?"
Seeing her faint smile, Xue Ren chuckled as he asked innocently.
"You will know soon..." and now, again without expression, Duan Qiu released her sword slash!
The young man closed his eyes as he waited for the sword! Then...
he caught it with bare hand! It looked as if sword didn't hurt him!
But Duan Qiu didn't mind this! Because she has never attacked only once ever since awakening!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
His whole arm got cut several times by unknown power! But it didn't cut deeply compared to Wei Xinya or Li Zhan.
With surprise she looked at his arm, then turned her gaze to his face.
It was then...
She saw red, beast like eyes looking at her!
